Brenda Drexler

Hi, I'm Brenda Drexler, an author, teacher, retired Psychotherapist, wife, mother, grandmother, sister, yada, yada, yada...(thanks Elaine)...and have always had a passion for writing and reading and people and their relationships. I had to semi-retire to be able to dedicate the time and energy I wanted for writing. Good decision. I love writing.

I work my word-magic, humble as I am, in my home office in Southern Indiana, although I must admit to being a transplant from Louisville, KY.

*My first book of short stories, Four Shorts for Your Bucket List, can be found on Amazon as a Kindle book and paperback.

*I published a number of my short stories in anthologies, Southern Indiana Writers and Sellersburg Writers, among others.

*GRACIE AND MARGE: KICKING THE BUCKET TOGETHER is my first novel. Is it okay to say that I simply love my main characters? They were born in one of my short stories, also found in my book Four Shorts. Some people have compared this novel to THELMA and LOUISE, but I say that Gracie and Marge have a lot more sense than to drive off a cliff when there is life to be lived. Skinny-dipping, anyone?

*Life in it's Own Frame of Reference is a book of eclectic stories from amusing and humorous to dark and shadowy. "Not a one alike," quoted one of my reader's. Most of my stories have at least a thread of truth that is woven into fictional stories where destinies can be changed by a single keystroke.

*Most recently published, my first historical fiction, Redemption on a Kentucky Poor Farm takes place in Kentucky after the Civil War. The poor farm becomes home to those in need in many different ways. Some struggle with internal and external struggles where either positive or negative change tells their future. Enjoy the read.

*More books and short stories upcoming. I currently have several stories that are vying for the next spot on my list of writings. I do believe it will be another historical fiction set in Louisville, KY during a very dark time in the local history. A time of hatred and a bloody mass murder.

*I am available to visit and, perchance, read for local book clubs who have read one of my books. Just contact me:
