STORIES FOR EVERYONE

Richard & Esther Provencher worked together on many stories, posted on this site. They originally began by writing for their four children and five grandchildren. They hope you will enjoy sharing these stories with your family and friends.

They have fostered children, adopted one young fellow and are very busy in their church work. Also being involved in community outreaches with feeding the homeless as well as visiting nursing home residents, is a treat for them. They are married 36 years and live in Truro, Nova Scotia.

Richard continues to recover from his stroke in 1999, through prayers from family, friends and the love of his precious wife, Esther.

Co-authors Richard and Esther Provencher, now both seniors, invite you to visit their Website: www.wsprog.com/rp/ and get free downloads. Our three 'for sale' novels can be sent free via Email to our ABC friends for their personal use.

Writing is fun. Even though our grandchildren and children are grown up, they remain young in our hearts. Through words on paper, they live again as youngsters, in adventures which re-capture our memories, and chase us through our imagination. Let us look at the world with fresh eyes one more time. (Richard & Esther)
