Recent books that have been published by our members are:
Brian Cornett's short story collection Tales from the Brass Rail came
out in 2005. Reviewer Patti Sherlock wrote: “ … with a keen eye for the
absurd and an economy of words, Cornett gives an insider's view of
'good ol' boys' in small town America.” (Illustrated by Sean Metz).
Eunice Ferguson's (E.D. Wald's) third book featuring her comedic
heroine Eulalia Eulene Swett, 1. For the Money 2. For the Show,
appeared in 2007; and finds Eulalia helping local law enforcement solve
a robbery-while she coordinates a fashion show. IWL Writer of the Year
in 2008, Eunice (or E.D., or Judy) is currently at work editing an historical
novel of northwest Missouri, Parthy.
Jenkinsville-Buried Secrets, a novel of the Idaho Territory by Joyce
Lindstrom, came out in 2007. A member of IWL since 1971, Joyce is a
past IWL Writer of the Year, and has served twice as League President.

Poetry and Short Stories, Lynn Mickelsen's first chapbook, appeared in
spring, 2010, with stories and poems of faith and Idaho farm life. Lynn also
provides a glossary, possibly found nowhere else, of certain rural creatures
known as Helmuts, Leebs, Swifers, Slinkies, and Zorros. Illustrated with
Lynn's color photographs and paintings.
Scribbling My Way Back from Nothing is Amy McClellan's second poetry
chapbook, and was cited in her 2008 IWL Award as “Poet of the Year.”
Amy writes of this collection: “I have found … poetry … an outlet for the
expression of my feelings, and that 'scribbling' has certainly played a part in my
coming back from the nothing that took over my life for many years after (an)
injury.” The collection also serves as an insightful guide to a variety of poetic
forms and creative practices.
Roger Nielsen's Writing Content: Mastering Magazine and Online Writing
was published in 2009, and provides a practical, easy-to-read reference guide to
writing saleable magazine articles and clear, concise, and credible website content.

publisher since 1974. Roger's websites: www.rogerwnielsen.com

Connie Otteson's latest book is Mountains of Majesty: The Story of Darby
Girls' Camp. Published in 2010, it commemorates the Diamond Jubilee of the camp's
founding. Connie documents several accounts of the famous tragedy of August 1, 1951,
when lightning struck a group of hikers on a mountain high above the camp and five lives
were lost. But her book is foremost a celebration of life, telling camper stories of the next
sixty years, including descriptions of famous hiking trails, memorable characters, songs,
pranks, even recipes; and concludes with the story of the “Darby Miracle” makeover in
2010. Includes 150 current and historic photographs integrated with the text. Connie
(IWL Writer of the Year in both 2006 and 2009) is also author of Unsung Heroes and
Settlers of Bonneville County, Idaho (2005); a nationally recognized award-winning
novel, Laura's Lullaby (2008); and a young adult historical novel, George Brunt-Young
Pioneer of Eagle Rock (2009), which is used as a supplemental history reader for
Bonneville County public school students. Connie's website is www.otto-soft.com
Jean Schwieder's Dehlin, A Forgotten Community came out in 2009. Jean, an
award-winning member of IWL, seeks to preserve the history of this community
(founded 1910) and shares the stories of its people in a book including rare photos,
exhibits, and some fascinating period price lists and recipes.
Morgan's Pasture, Wally Swenson's first published novel, is due to appear this spring
from Three Muses Press, Portland, Oregon. His book confronts and illuminates the difficult
theme of teen suicide, and takes place in the nostalgic environment of a 1950's American
small town. Wally is author of Pine Marten, currently on Three Muses's pending list; and
of, among others, Journey To the White Clouds, a five-volume Western frontier saga.
Wally's website is www.whitecloudliterary.com.
