Anoka Stories
Anoka, a little town Northwest of Minneapolis, Minnesota, is central to this collection of short stories. The stories span two centuries of history, including an Indian tribe’s conflict with intruding white settlers, and a civil war veteran’s souvenir that became a family heirloom. All of the stories have elements of truth; all have elements of fiction.
Douglas Rainbow
Douglas Rainbow is a retired trial lawyer who has spent a career writing. But the writing was non-fiction – trial briefs, legal memoranda, a few wills and contracts. He wrote some short stories and poetry too, but just to amuse himself and a few friends. People kept telling him, “You should be published.” So he submitted Anoka Stories for publication, lo and behold, the first publisher he contacted accepted it. He’s married, with three adult children and eight grandchildren.
