“Chapter & Verse, Volume Two” Now Published!

Karen M. Dielmann

Write On… of Robson Ranch Arizona has done it again! Our second anthology, Chapter & Verse, Volume II, Fall 2026, is filled with stories, poems, and essays. Last year’s volume, published in the fall of 2025, featured original works by 10 authors—all who are residents here at the Ranch. This year we’ve increased to 12 authors.

The book features a variety of genres as explored by members of our Write On… group including fiction, memoir, self-help, essay, children’s literature, youth-oriented literature and even poetry. Some of the works are humorous, some are reflective; all are creative and gleaned from the memories, psyches, and imaginations of our authors.

Many thanks to the 12 authors whose works are featured in the anthology and special thanks to Jaine Ellen Toth and Diane Peckhosh Van Syoc, who spent countless hours editing the submission, polishing them “until they gleam with such brilliance that they attract readers who wish to envelop themselves in their beauty” (Chapter & Verse, Volume II, 2026, p. 6).

Both Chapter & Verse books, Volumes 1 and 2, are available on amazon.com. At the reasonable cost of $6 each, they would make great holiday gifts.
