In the October/November 2009 issue of The Writer’s Chronicle (Vol. 42, Number 2) readers have an opportunity to learn more about Duff Brenna, author of the contemporary American classic, The Book of Mamie, re-issued by Wordcraft of Oregon. Brenna is the author of six published novels and is the Fiction Editor of the on-line literary magazine, Perigee www.perigee-arts.com .  The interview reveals a writer of breadth and deep understanding of the human condition.

The interview was conducted by another Wordcraft of Oregon author, Thomas E. Kennedy, whose novel, In The Company of Angels, will be released in March 2010 by Bloomsbury Books and another scheduled for the following year. Bloomsbury has indicated the desire to publish all four of Kennedy’s Copenhagen Quartet. In The Company of  Angels was originally published as Greene’s Summer by the Ireland publisher, Wynkin de Worde. The Bloomsbury edition recently received a starred review in Publishers Weekly. http://www.publishersweekly.com/article/CA6701098.html 

Wordcraft of Oregon has published four of Thomas E. Kennedy’s books and we’re thrilled to see him finally get the attention he so richly deserves. Duff Brenna has two books either near completion or being circulated, the memoir Dancing With Mother and a new novel, Separation Anxiety.

We are blessed to have a relationship with these two great writers.
