An author from the Asquith area was in North Battleford Feb. 25 to promote a series of books she has written.

Donna Miller is the author of Help Me, I'm Naked, which she describes as a "true story about myself and my family going back to the days of World War II and the Depression."

The story focuses on the domestic abuse that affected the women in the family. Miller describes the books as being about the "effect that abuse has on a growing child's psyche and how it affects the generations down."

The first book in the series Black Fury, and the second book published a short time later in November is A Family of Our Own.

While the books are based on a true story, Miller said she's changed the names of the characters in the book to "give them some privacy."

She was at Fisher's Drug to sign books and was joined there by her 87-year-old mother, Katharina, who is originally from the Warman area.

Miller has already done book signings in Saskatoon and in a few small towns, and plans a tour in Alberta in May.

The series has gained international recognition. Black Fury was entered into competition at the Great Northwest Book Festival and won it in March of last year. Miller adds a third book is being written and hopes that will be out by Christmas of this year.

The books are published through Your Nickels Worth Publishing and are available at Fisher's and at books stores in the province. Black Fury is also out as an e-book.
