Featured Fiction Friday Presents: Pam Meyers!
Howdy Folks! With this year’s Frasier contest right around the corner, let’s acknowledge someone who has made it possible. Introducing Pam Meyers and her new book Love Finds You in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Q: Pam, can you tell us a little bit about your new book? A young woman wants to work in a man’s world. It’s 1933, the height of the Big-Band era, and beautiful Lake Geneva is already well established as a summertime playground for Chicago’s elite.
