"Me, Valedictorian? What the hell good will That do a woman in 1941?"
Won't get her away from tenant farm. Won't pay bills. Won't keep her from making big mistakes.
Won't stop country from going to war & dragging her along.

I recall once when Johnny Carson had a few jokes in his monologue one night about a TP shortage. It wasn't real--not until everybody panicked & went out to buy it in bulk. #JohnnyCarson #TPshortage #panickedAmericans

@sjsubity Yes. But they're best enjoyed in Scotland. Or on Grandfather Mtn NC

Liberated ROSIE the Riveter!
Summer 1941:
Spunky 18yo escapes farm - to build ammo
She longs for fun & games-
But WWII forces her to grow up fast!
Stakes are high:
Wed BF before he ships out
Wed bad-boy she loves & forget stability
Wed neither & forget love

Tenacious tenant farmer's daughter moves to city for fun & games-

Just in time for WWII to turn world upside down.

Pursued by 2 vastly different men, she must decide whether to choose 1 or continue to stand alone.

Whatever, there's war work to be done!

Now, this sounds like a fun kids' book! When it's published, I'd like to know about it. Would love it for our local library. Good luck!

The magic of dawn. What happens when a sleepy little girl and a bird-happy granny get up early to listen to the birds sing, and the birds sleep in and forget to greet the dawn? #Pitmad #PB

[Janet G Brantley @JanetGBrantley]

@KLSmall_Author Yes. Just did my first one.

@Porter_Anderson @thecreativepenn @pubperspectives @penguinrandom @LondonBookFair Sad to hear. Is it only the beginning of closures? It's going to be a quiet spring if we're all stuck inside. Read more books! Visit your local library and book seller. It's best to be prepared. #books #virus #readmore

[Janet G Brantley @JanetGBrantley]

@KMWeiland Of course not! The answer: Build more shelves!!

@sarahsundin And thanks for the return follow. I'm new to Twitter and excited to be here. My current book is WWII era, and I have 2 more to go. So I'm glad to find a fellow history enthusiast. Love your books.

@RittenInTime @NBCTimeless @nbc The Royal Wedding must be one of those pivotal points in history. Wonder who tried to stop it, and why?

@train I'd take this off my bucket list, but just rewrote it to "See Train Anywhere, Anytime!" Great show. Thanks!
