About The AuthorMary WallmanMary Wallman has written a few short stories. She had some sales, but she was interested in trying new types of writing. She heard some stories of older members of her fam which few in the family knew much about. Mary thought that the stories should be recorded for later generations before many of the details were lost. People often suffered memory loss through ill health or their written records were lost. Mary contacted some of the older family members and recorded their stories for sharing, if they agreed, with the wider family. Mary said,?This was a great idea. It benefitted so many people! The subject was happy that their lives would be read by later generations and the other people were able to read and know more about family members of the past." "This is a great form of writing which anyone can do. You don't need any training, just a sincere interest, a pen or laptop and a recording device." "People had young children who could read about their ancestors?lives and thoughts. The older people were pleased their stories were to be shared." "This made for better understanding of each other and encouraged more contact as well." Mary said that her writing improved because she wanted to get the best possible results for them. After Mary had helped do a couple of Memoirs, other people wanted to pay her to do a Memoir for their families.
