Welcome dear reader to our Author page.
I am Paul O. Snawder, along with my sister Vera Snawder-Hensley and our dearest friend Carol A. Wooten. Together, we have written Long About Ten Years which is our first book now available in paperback and ebook formats.

We are hometown kids (each above 60 years of age), who've always had dreams of writing a novel and getting published. Our writing bug goes as far back as our High School days when we, at different times, wrote poems and stories together. And even though over the years our lives took us in three different directions and into three different states, we maintained contact and one day reconnected and considered the idea of writing together.

And it was no easy task. Our friend Carol works as a night shift independent care provider Nurse in Ohio, my sister is a retired homemaker living in southeastern Kentucky, and I live and work full time in Indiana.

But we came upon the idea one day to see if we could write a story together as we did in the old days. That's all it was in the beginning, just a story. The premise was that Vera would begin the story and write and then pass her portion to myself who would pick up where she left off, and I then would do the same, passing our parts to Carol afterward. 

To further challenge us, we agreed that we each would have to incorporate the 4-word phrase "long about ten years" in our sections.
Through phone and internet collaborations we laughed and cried, fussed, and cussed until at last, we had compiled a pretty good story. 
Then, after some deliberation, we decided to work toward creating an ebook. (More laughing, crying, fussing and cussing ensued)
That was long about ten years ago it seems, or at least as far back as 2012. Now, it's 2019 and we have this project available thanks to Amazon and KDP. 

We are first-time authors who eagerly seek to build an audience of readers who enjoy a good yarn told in the language of the common man. And would certainly love to have you as a central part and core of that audience.

Thanks for stopping by and please don't forget to pick up a copy of "Long About Ten Years" on your way out and be sure to tell others to do the same, if you please.
