Mary Loring Wins Publication Chance With The National Weekly
In New York Mary Loring meets editor Phillip Buchanan during a lunch where he invites her to contribute a series of short stories for The National Weekly. He hails her Iowa background and urges her to write about small town life while her family’s financial strain and her romance with Dr. Christopher Cragg color her decisions. The luncheon ends with a promise of future work and a provocative cliffhanger as Jim Ormsby invites Buchanan to a weekend trip.
