WriterMom ~ The fusion of literary art and motherhood

“I am a collector of words. I love the way words and phrases and sentences and statements and paragraphs swirl together to make literary art.”                     ~ Cornelia Becker Seigneur

Cornelia’s book, Writer Mom Tales: Corralling the Commotion While Savoring the Chaos, Spilled Cheerios and Prayers of Real-Life Motherhood, was released in December 2010.  Finishing this book is the culmination of a five year dream of hers. WriterMom Tales can be found on amazon (http://www.amazon.com/WriterMom-Tales-Corralling-Commotion-Motherhood/dp/0945272499 ) 

Her first book, Images of America: WEST LINN, was published by Arcadia in 2009.  It is available at local stores and online.   (Michael  .Anderson Photo)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Here are some links:  Amazon – http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0738558508?ie=UTF8&tag=cornseigfaita-inkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0738558508
