Southeast Kansas: It's Places and Faces

Like our first book, this book consists of short biographies we have researched and written about some of the interesting people who have lived in Southeast Kansas. For this volume, we have added some interesting stories and some histories of various area towns, places and events.

The cost of the book is $6.00 plus $1.42 postage. To order your copy, contact either Night Writer's President Ursula Turner (uturn at wwwebservice.net), or District 3 President Frankie Roland (frankie4 at cox.net).

Like our first book, this is a fund raiser for District 3 of the Kansas Authors Club to help us host the 2005 Kansas Authors Club State Convention next October in Coffeyville.
