I am reaching out to suggest an event for your local Sons of Norway and Swedish groups, Senior Centers, and churches. I have titled it, “A Blast from the Past: An Immigrant Snapchat.”
After my grandmother passed, I inherited a collection of postcards in her possession that do a good job of telling the story of my family’s Norwegian heritage. The postcards date back to the early 1900s and feature photos of places my relatives had visited, and conversations about everything from updates on how the crops were doing to recipes and details about births and funerals.
I learned so much about my heritage after getting those postcards translated, and would like the opportunity to share the presentation I have put together with your members. Part of the presentation would be to discuss how my heritage has played into my career as a writer. My 9th book, The Broken Circle, is being released this August.
Please write back or call and let me know what the next steps would be to get an event set up.
