International Writers Inspiring Change feature book: Plant People by Mary Ellen Humphrey

Rita has a secret. It excites her. It puzzles her. It even scares her a little. And she knows she can never share it with anyone.

When UFOs visit our planet, an unassuming, recently retired woman discovers who they are and what they want.

Review:

"A wonderful Sci-Fi book that shows how humans are destroying the planet. Aliens have been watching our destruction and want us to change our ways." - E.L.

Our review of Plant People

Plant People, by Mary Ellen Humphrey, is a simple but beautiful story about Rita, a retiree living in a small town, who loves to hike, and specifically, loves a spot by a large boulder and tree; but therein lies the twist. While Rita clearly loves trees and plants, and even talks to them, on this particular day, something peculiar happens and it starts a domino-effect that leads her down a road she could never have dreamed off. This is a wonderful story, with a critical message for humanity - and while it contains an element of off-world-encounters (no spoilers) it is every bit contemporary and on-point with the mistreatment of our planet, a road that will ultimately lead our species to extinction if we do not wake-up and stop its destruction. It's a good read, not heavy, and definitely inspiring.

About Mary Ellen Humphrey

With a masters in education, and a specialty to teach writing, I've worked for many years on my various books. Some are fiction, and some nonfiction. For me, as an author, I have to see the story, the completed book, in my mind's eye before I can actually sit down and compose it. Drafts are written and rewritten and reviewed and revised, until it feels done.

Stories are everywhere. I started writing when I first learned how to form letters and words. For the last fifteen years I've used the exercise of NANOWRIMO to experiment with new writing projects. Several of my books are the results of this effort.

In addition, my passion is helping others with their writing projects, and have sponsored student publishing workshops for middle and high schoolers to write, revise, edit, design the book content and cover, and produce an anthology. It inspires youngsters to love reading and writing, and all without pressure or criticism.
