At home lately I have had some time to read more blogs and visit more of the sites of our members listed on the sidebar of www.netwestwriters.blogspot.com.
Tonight I enjoyed seeing what this site had to offer: https://www.ranshaffner.com/
Ran Shaffner and his wife Margaret have five sons and six grandchildren. They live in the mountains of Western NC where he established and managed Cyrano's Bookshop and Faraway Publishing.
He is retired and the bookshop is closed now, but read to see what Ran has accomplished.
Thanks Ran for the bookshop enjoyed by the folks in Highlands.
Take a few minutes, Readers, and see what our members offer on their blogs or website.
