Mary Jane Chambers of 1311 Cherry sold her first unpublished book to Readers Digest for condensation, calling it a million to one chance. Now she has sold three more humor slant books to the same editors, with the author praised as funny.
A Virginia native recalls starting on obits, writing poetry from youth, and rising to journalism across ten states. She details an early controversial obituary headline, a 1959 Indiana University journalism degree, and a career spanning features, news and columns while her husband, Dr Randall Chambers, a space program researcher, and their two sons, Mark and Craig, are mentioned.
In a Lawton Fort Sill feature, Mary Chambers discusses her books about her husband, NASA and Navy trained space program figures, and early astronaut training in Johnsville. Her works cover space suit anecdotes, weightlessness studies, and child curiosity, plus her own teaching and family stories.
