Effie and the Plum Country Open

By Nancy Sweetland

Effie Casper's unexpected retirement from the only job she'd ever held gives her the chance to do what she'd always dreamed of: compete in a golf tournament. Tall, spare and 66, with a bag carrying only three beat-up clubs, Effie's unorthodox shots learned from playing in, through, and around farm buildings give her an edge over younger, more sophisticated players. But will they be enough to win the prize she has her eye on?

I've been writing ever since getting my first official rejection at 13. Articles and essays were followed by 7 children's picture books (five now out of print),a chapter book for 3-4 grade readers, and novels for adults from romances to murder mysteries, and some fun stuff in between. I have a large family (7 kids, 5 steps, 31 grandchildren, 6 great grands), so have lots going on all the time. I also teach for the Institute of Children's Literature, and belong to Mystery Writers of America, Romance Writers dog America, Wisconsin Writers Association, the Council for Wisconsin Writers and the Society for Children's Writers and Illustrators. I love to golf, play the piano (not as often as I should), socialize with bridge, dominoes and mah jong. Contact me anytime - I love to hear from readers!

Effie Casper was unexpectedly retired. Her job as bookkeeper, stocker, right-hand--and left, too--at Binkworth's Amalgamated Hardware and Household, known as AH&H, terminated abruptly when K-Mart bulldozed in a square block of merchandise including everything AH&H sold and clothes besides.

Effie had burst into Binkworth's the day after high school graduation nearly fifty years ago and had spent every working day there since, except for
