Immigrant Mail Order BrideIn the bustling streets of late 19th century New York, Maria Guarnacelli stepped off the boat from Italy, her eyes bright with the promise of a new life in America. Little did she know, her journey would soon intertwine with the rugged landscapes of the West and the rich heritage of the Native American people.Loneliness on the Assembly LineClara Mitchell had worked at the Miller Manufacturing plant for over a decade, steadily climbing her way up to becoming a respected supervisor on the assembly line. Though she took pride in her role and the solace of routine, there was an undeniable loneliness that often crept in after clocking out each night. Her social circle had dwindled over the years as friends married and moved away, leaving Clara to face the quiet stillness of her apartment alone. I was born in England, but have lived in Southern California for many years. I m now retired and live in the Pacific NW in a little seaside city amongst the giant redwoods and wonderful harbor, almost at the Oregon border. My husband and I have one cat, called Midnight and she is featured in two of my latest Sci-Fi short stories. I love Science Fiction, animals, and trying to help others. I publish under Doreen Milstead as well as my own name. My photo was taken right before the coronation of QE II in the UK.
