​News: Former History Teacher, Rosemary McKinley, Brings Long Island History to Life.  Writers' Dream

Just thought I would share an interview of my me and my books.

Linda Maria Frank is a writer and host of writers' dream. Her Y/A Ann Tillery mysteries are good reading for young and older alike.

Published in Newsday July, 2018.    

When I read Lance Filler's Opinion piece [Toward a more human debate, Opinion,July 11], I was heartened. Everyone should read this piece as it puts today's top political debates in perspective. He breaks down people's opinions into calm, disparate points of view. We all have strong ideas about immigration and abortion but we don't have to get personal and emotional against others who disagree. He makes a great argument for tolerance and understanding.

We can disagree and still work together toward finding a common humane ground. We can all learn from this.

This is a call to civility to all Americans. We need to work together for a common goal.

Southold 4th of July Parade 2018

Southold Town 4th of July parade is such a special day. Local community groups march and children dressed in ethnic costumes wave from the Historical Society's float. It is a feel good day. People arrive early with their lawn chairs and water bottles. Volunteers hand out red, white and blue balloons and flags for a donation. Everyone is smiling and in a good mood. It sets the tone for the glorious fourth. My grandchildren have been looking forward to attending for a few years now.
This year we had Betsy Ross and a patriotic boy. Other years we had pioneer girls and Lady Liberty. Another year an Irish lass graced the float.
