Bluffton writer releases collection of award-winning stories
WORKPLAY PUBLISHING PRESENTS:
WHERE FLOWS THE RIVER TWEE
Claralice Hanna Wolf, now of Bluffton, grew up in Thailand as the daughter of missionaries. Her second book, Where Flows the River Twee, is a collection of six short stories set in the fictional town of Ban Sai Dang. Two of these stories, "The Parasol Painter" and "The Village Idiot" have both won awards* for short fiction.
Wolf connected with Bluffton-based publisher, Workplay Publishing, at one of the monthly meetings of the Bluffton Writers' Group. Andr'e Swartley, co-owner and editor at Workplay Publishing, accepted her manuscript at the meeting and agreed the next day to publish the whole collection. "This type of book is the reason I created Workplay," said Swartley. "Claralice's imagination and voice deserve an audience, and I'm thrilled to be part of that process."
Where Flows the River Twee is Wolf's second published book, the first being a novel titled Prynne's Island (Writers' Exchange, 2009). Twee is the third book published under the Workplay logo, following David Voth's** Crime Victim Advocacy: A Field Guide and Andr'e Swartley's*** Americanus Rex.
