Denitta Ward & Somewhere Still Dec 17, 2017

Denitta Ward will tell you that she did it all backwards. But she got on the path to publication earlier this year when took RMFW’s online course about self-publishing, taught by Lisa Price Manifold. The result? The publication of her first novel, Somewhere Still, in November. Denitta is a member of the Women's Fiction Writers Association, the Historical Novel Society, and (of course) Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers. She is delighted to be the 100th member of IPAL. After decades of writing legal briefs and contracts, Denitta picked up her pen and decided she'd write the stories she really wanted to tell - about young women discovering their own resilience in times of societal transition. In fact, Somewhere Still is set in the Roaring Twenties era in Kansas City and the follow-up jumps ahead three decades to Cuba. In both cases, however, Denitta is exploring a topic that remains relevant today about the — the “power dynamic” between men and women. Who is writing that paycheck and what are women willing to do for that money?
