  Kenneth Mogren's most recent blog post is titled "Bew Year's Resolution." It is a good one...we wonder how far he has come with it. It’s late January, and so far, I’m keeping a resolution to write more new sonnets in 2023 than in 2022. My production slowed to a trickle last February when MSI Press offered to publish SPUNKY GRANDMAS….And Other Amusing Characters . Suddenly my efforts went in a different direction. Turning a manuscript into a book involves more work for an author than most people realize. Manuscripts are really just a draft, so there is still an opportunity to make improvements.

  Spunky Grandmas and Other AmusingCharacters is a collection of over 100 entertaining, fictional mini stories about comical human behavior. Written in sonnet form, each of 22 chapters starts with a cartoonish illustration by Joella Goyette that introduces the theme of the stories that follow. Humorist, Ken Mogren, features grandmothers who are anything but stereotypical, as well as other folks whose behavior is best described as unconventional. For more posts on Ken Mogren, click  HERE .
