 | A WRITER'S WIT |
Today's podcast, "Tales of the Millerettes," features another narrative from my collection, My Long-Playing Records and Other Stories. Instead of attending a reading—dressing up, driving to a venue—you can listen to this short reading I'm bringing to you! And if you'd like to have a signed bookplate, send me a message using the contact box on my home page (see above), and I'll mail you one. ¶ In this long narrative three generations of Bernard women of Wichita, Kansas, retell the history of the old Miller Theater.
