Images of America
“Images of America: Tipton County,” published in late 2012, features more than 200 vintage photos depicting Tipton County life from the late 1800s through the present, most contributed by members of the Tipton County community and never before published. The book’s narrative begins with the county’s founding in 1844 and progresses to more recent years, highlighting several of the influential people and pivotal events that shaped the county.

“Images of America: Frankfort,” about Frankfort, Indiana’s long history, was published in late 2013. Four months after the Indiana General Assembly established Clinton County, long-time resident John Pence donated 60 acres of his centrally located farmland upon which the county seat would be built. Thanks to Pence, the city of Frankfort, named in honor of his ancestral German home, was born May 9, 1830. Today, the spirit of the early settlers still prevails.
|
“Images of America: Elwood,” published in 2019, tells the story of Elwood’s past — from its founding in 1852 through today. Thanks to the city’s rich past, today’s Elwood is characterized as “the Heart of Hoosierland,” and it has a long, bright future to look forward to. The book is intended to rekindle fond memories and spark poignant reflections, while helping readers experience what was, what is, and what is yet to come.

“Dust Bunnies & Dead Bodies,
is, without a doubt, one of the funniest and most endearing debut novels I’ve read in a very long time. If intrepid small-town newspaper editor Crystal Cropper doesn’t win you over, you’ve either got no heart or your sense of humor has flat-lined. Give this book a try. I guarantee you, it's a hoot.” > WILLIAM KENT KRUEGER New York Times Best-selling author of the Cork O'Conner Mystery Series and winner of the 2014 Edgar Award for 'Ordinary Grace' * * * “First-time author Janis Thornton is a skillful guide to small-town crime and corruption, and her protagonist, newspaper editor Crystal Cropper, is one intrepid investigator.” > TERENCE FAHERTY Edgar Allan Poe Award finalist (Owen Keane mystery series), and two-time winner of the Shamus Award (Scott Elliott P.I. series) > CLICK FOR PREVIEW |
