Hi, I am Alice Chambers, publisher and editor of Life In The Ozarks. I started Life In The Ozarks in October 2003. March 2009 was the last print edition out of our office and the online version, or ezine, began. Lu Holeman Poor, friend, editor and writer for Life In The Ozarks took over the print version until March 2010. Lu and I traveled throughout the Ozarks interviewing people who had some interesting stories to tell. We also visited some incredible places and found that there are so many unique places in the Ozarks we would probably never get to visit them all in our lifetimes. There's so many stories left to tell that I have dedicated this website to those stories. The Ozarks Region of Arkansas and Missouri are rich in history, interesting people and places, and great events. The writers who provide these wonderful stories are passionate about sharing them with you. Some of them are authors and you will be able to purchase their books in our online shop, as well as music, art and crafts from right here in the Ozarks, as soon as our shop is online.

I Need A Home

"Juliette"
(Cat #185) is a very pretty shorthaired 2-yr old spayed muted torti. She is very
attentive and loves to be petted. She loves everybody and gets along great
with other cats. She was a stray and would appreciate having a real home.
Juliette is one of many homeless cats and dogs at the Good Shepherd Animal
Shelter, Hwy 62 east of Eureka Springs; open 12 noon to 4 pm everyday but Wed;
phone 479-253-9188. Juliette is 1/2 the usual adoption
fee.

Note: I can't say enough good things about Ken and Betty, who are the careing
people that keep the Good Shepherd Animal Shelter operating. They graciously
accept donations for the shelter if you are looking for a worthy cause. Alice


 
 
EDITING & WRITING
Freelance writing and editing jobs wanted. I was editor and publisher of a monthly publicaiton for six years and am looking for jobs doing freelance writing. I enjoy interviewing and/or research writing. If you are looking for someone to do your online or print newsletter or your company blog, I have experience at both. Currently writing press releases for several organization and individuals, references available. Contact me at lifeintheozarks@yahoo.com for more information, or to request an editor or writer.

One day without laughter, is one day without fun!
