KRISTY VON
ABOUT ME
My uncle, my sister and my niece are all writers. Some long, lost distant relative owned a newspaper and was its editor. I have always wanted to write a novel. My uncle, a ninety four old priest, wrote two books in his retirement. He encouraged me to ‘just do it’.
He told me four things: write what you know; every life’s worth a book; write it real and change the names to protect the innocent as well as the guilty.
90% of what I write is either something I’ve experienced or something someone I’ve known has experienced – the drugs; the schizophrenia; the infidelities, the betrayals, the murders and the suicides – unfortunately are real.
“Just write it real.”
INTERIOR PENANCE
Monica Meier is a “thirty something” lonely, successful career woman with a past and a promise. Daniel von Oehlschlager is a “twenty something” solitary guy with a checkered history and very little prospects. He, compelled to leave home in the Upper Peninsula and seek employment in the Big City, and she, a native Chicagoan, cascade into love on State Street in a chance meeting in a lacustrine, Chicago Christmas Eve blizzard. Will Monica’s pact and the two other troubled men in her life keep them apart?
