Dear friends and followers,
I hope you all enjoy ‘FRED’s’ and ‘Violet’s’ repost of their individual views of Positivity.
Our collection of recent novels, ‘FRED: Buffalo Building of Dreams”; ‘FRED II: Timeless Tenant Tales, Buffalo West Side Stories,’ from the 1930’s and 40’s; and ‘Accidental Virgin’ are all available for purchase on Amazon, and Barnes and Noble. Reviews are welcome on author website: francesrschmidt.com.
‘FRED III’ is currently a work in progress, with additional West Side stories from the 1950’s. Further, in 2027 I’ll be publishing my first illustrated inspirational gift book titled ‘Heartstrings: First Aid for the Soul.’ We will keep you posted on our progress.
In 2025 it was an honor of a lifetime to personally receive a first-time Distinguished Alumna award. To quote D’Youville University President Lorrie Clemo, the award “exemplifies leadership, resilience and service to D’Youville University, with courage, compassion and commitment to others.”
Best,
Fran
