Detours

"What emerges from this collaboration is a compelling story of sisterhood-and of the unexpected challenges that confront them."

-ROBERT WATSON, PH.D., Award-winning author of many books including The Nazi Titanic and Escape

Following their dreams of authorship, six fictional women converged in Upstate New York for a writing workshop. No amount of foreshadowing could have painted the twists and turns of their journey.

Built on sisterhood, a quintet of real-life writers known as "The Inkslingers" penned this novel in a spirit of collaboration and perseverance. They dreamed up characters with distinctive voices and over the course of many moons interwove their writings into a single book, a tribute to their friendship. Often humorous, at times haunting, this captivating literary work of magical realism is testimony to the power of the written word to inspire people-in fiction and in real life-to navigate life's curves and transcend challenges of small and pandemic proportions.
