“Recollections” from the Pen of Noreen Tyers available July 15, 2022 – Writer, Noreen Tyers grew up in the 1940s in the Eastview section of Ottawa. She has authored many stories related to that time from her truly clear memories of situations and how she experienced life at that time. In her early adulthood, when her children were small, the family moved to a century farm in Lanark Township. This resulted in new adventures to write about as she learned to live in the country. We occasionally, through our various social media avenues, have shared Noreen’s memories attracting a volume of readers inquisitive about Sammy Sap Man, the adventures of Ruffy, and those who can recall similar experiences in their own life. Cost is $30 each plus shipping if applicable. A Book Launch event is being organized and will be announced soon.
