Gwen Angstrom

Filed under: Authors

Living on ten acres below the Willapa Hills in Southwest Washington State provides much inspiration for my writing. I started creating stories for my grandchildren about fifteen years ago featuring them in the starring roles. My latest passion is short story writing—a wonderful avocation in retirement! My husband, Richard, and I enjoy country living with our youngest "children" who happen to be dogs and nine (at the moment!) white homing pigeons.
