Osawatomie

"Osawatomie" comprises three interwoven stories centered in the small Kansas town beginning in 1854 with a young woman's choices, choices that reverberate more than a century. This is the story of two people coming of age a century apart and yet are joined by a secret that itself contains a secret. The story begins in the early days of Bloody Kansas, when the Kansas Territory hosted the first true battles of what would become the Civil War six years later. Their stories reach across time from the small town's settlement to its centennial celebration and to the early Sixties and the election of President Kennedy.

Randy Michael Signor grew up in Kansas and lived for a while in Osawatomie. He has worked as an editor for the Los Angeles Reader, Book Magazine, and others. His short fiction has appeared in several dozen publications.AUTHOR HOME: Seattle, WA
