LouIsa: Iron Dove of the Frontier
by Will Edwinson
Genre: Western Historical Fiction
THE IRON DOVE OF THE FRONTIER...
At twenty-one, LouIsa was already a sagacious woman. She had been privileged to attend finishing
schools in the East where she learned the ways of "Ladyship" and studied piano under the tutorship of
masters, becoming proficient with the classical works of Mozart, Bach, Chopin, Beethoven, Liszt, and
many others.
LouIsa: Iron Dove of the Frontier is a story about a tough, but well-educated genteel woman of quiet
strength who, when it became necessary, could get down and dirty and fight as adeptly as the best
gutter rats. But also, when necessary, she could don a party dress and be perfectly comfortable with
Vassar graduates.
Buddy... His Trials and Treasures
by Will Edwinson
Genre: Contemporary Historical Fiction
Do you need a little stress relief in your life?
Travel back to the world of Buddy Crawford, a simpler, slower- paced world where Cokes were a nickel,
movie tickets were a dime, and ten cents bought you a double dip ice cream cone. These engaging,
award-winning stories about a young boy growing up in rural America during the 1940s provide a
relaxing respite from today's fast-paced world. They may even revive old memories of your own
childhood.
Follow Buddy and Cousin Mont as they gather beer and pop bottles from the roadway barrowpits. Join
him and his friends at the river swimming hole for a swim, or go fishing for carp in the irrigation canal.
Experience the fun as he tours the countryside in an old Model T Ford with his friends. What better way
to spend a relaxing two hours than immersing yourself in these stories.
Buddy is somewhat reminiscent of Tom Sawyer in that he quite often finds himself in hot water. Unlike
Tom, Buddy's misdeeds are without forethought. They happen because Buddy is...well...he's just
Buddy.
Will Edwinson is an award-winning story teller for his fiction, and an award winning columnist. His second
book, Buddy ... His Trials and Treasures, won a first place in state competition, and a second place at
national. His "A Bit Of Nostalgia" column that he wrote under another name, won second and first place,
awards in two separate competitions from the Utah-Idaho-Spokane Associated Press Association.
Edwinson grew up in rural Southeast Idaho during the 1940s. After his college stint, he made his living
on the family farm in Southeast Idaho as a dry land farmer raising barley and wheat, always holding onto
the dream he had harbored for most of his life-that of being a writer-but still not confident that he had the
necessary abilities and skills for such a career. After reaching mid-life, he determined that if he were ever
going to be a writer, it was time to begin. His first book was launched when he was in his mid-fifties.
Edwinson is basically a self-taught author. His passion lay toward storytelling, so he began reading
fiction of every genre to get a grasp of different writing styles and writing techniques. He also took
advantage of the many books and manuals on writing that were available. These are mentioned on his
Links & Lists page at his website, www.willedwinson.com. He is also a graduate of Writer's Digest
Short Story Writing course.
In his younger years, Edwinson was also a semi-professional singer, performing on stages from Sun
Valley, Idaho, to Lake Havasu City, Arizona. He also demonstrates a flair as an inventor. Out of
necessity,to teach his two youngest daughters some rudimentary money management skills, he invented
and Trademarked a children's allowance management system, "The Child's Checkmaster." which
enabled parents and children to keep better track of the children's allowance draws and which also
taught the children some rudimentary money management skills.
Will Edwinson currently lives in Tucson, Arizona.
