Some say the easy part is done–writing the book. I’d say it’s a 50/50 split. I have been pushing hard to get Between Two Freedoms, a story about love and the incarceration of Japanese in America during WW2, written and printed. Now I am working on getting the word out.
Launch parties are set for the following:
May 22, 2025 This House of Books, Billings, Mt 5-7 pm. Click here for more information.
May 27, 2025 Big Horn County Library, Hardin, Mt 5-7 pm. Click here for more information.
May 31, 2025 Apostle Islands Booksellers, Bayfield, Wi, 1-4:30 pm. Click here for more information.
June 5, 2025 Hopkins Center for the Arts, Hopkins, MN 5-7 pm. Click here for more information.
I will be attending the Amache Japanese Incarceration Camp Pilgrimage, Granada, Colorado on May 16-18. Amache is one of ten War Relocation Administration built to house over 120,000 Japanese during WW2. I will be attending the Pilgrimage, and Between Two Freedoms will be in the museum. Look for me so I can sign your book. The Pilgrimage requires reservations. Click here for more information.
Books are available upon request from your local bookstore, through IngramSpark, and from Amazon.com. More events are planned, in Santa Fe, Alburquerque, and online.
Do you have a book club that would like a GoogleMeet/Zoom discussion? I can easily set up a meeting with you!
More later! And thank you for your support!!

Hi, Elaine! Wish I could be at one of your launch parties! How exciting! Maybe someday I will pop up at one!
We are back at our Park Model tiny home, the “Rock Ranch Cabin” 15 miles south of Bellingham, Wa for the summer. Love it!
We will go back to our Florence, AZ home in Nov for the winter. Maybe sometime in the future we could meet up in the Southwest with you living in NM and we having a home in AZ—Thomas and I live a mile from my Sis Ann, and brother-in-law, Bob, which is awesome! We are very close in more ways than one!
Wishing you all the best and wonderful success, Elaine! You so deserve it!
Love,
Susan
