Summary: It's Red River Radio and you are invited to join Peggy Greene & Jon Magee and our author guests. On our April 11 show, Red River Writers Live, we will be talking with authors, Gwyn Ramsey and Sherry Monahan about their writing interests in the history of the American West. Both are members of Women Writing the West, and on this show we will also talk about how the westward movement affected women. Our first guest, Gwyn Ramsey has done a three-book saga on the Anderson family. The most recent is Bound for Texas. The first was Journey to Tracer’s Point, followed by Winds of Change. In these chronicles, she embroiders a very complex and adventurous family history. These stories show a firm grasp of the challenges of those times. Gwyn is an active member of The Tampa Area Romance Authors and has developed some very effective marketing methods for her books. Sherry Monahan has published six books. She is also editor, columnist and freelance writer for various magazines, True West and Arizona Highways. Sherry serves on the executive board of Western Writers of America, and is a member of the Author’s Guild, Women Writing the West, Wild West History Association, Western Writers International, National Women's History Museum. She consults with and appears on television and consults with the film industry on western history. These authors compliment each other’s backgrounds nicely. Gwyn Ramsey’s writing is more about the adventures of the westward movement, and Sherry Monahan gives us a rich picture of people’s lifestyles as they attempted to settle or make their fortunes. Do join us for a very enjoyable exchange.
