I'm a freelance writer and historical researcher in Detroit. I hold a master’s degree in education from Oakland University with a concentration in English and history. In addition to being the author of the historical fiction novel, Proper Mourning, my fiction and poetry have appeared in Halcyone Magazine, The 3288 Review, The Write Launch, and the Ketchup Press. My nonfiction has been featured in Valley Living Magazine, Michigan Out of Doors Magazine, and Planet Detroit News. I have won awards for my writing through Oakland University, and I'm currently producing and directing a documentary film about economic and social change in one of Detroit’s oldest neighborhoods. In my spare time, I whittle, repair broken violins, and I love to fish. I reside somewhere in Michigan with my husband, children, and the fastest dog that ever lived.

BOOKS AND LOST STORIES 
Brianne, I’ll make this brief for now. Having lived my formative years in Poletown at 6455 Mt. Elliott…at the corner of Dane Street; coincidently presently the main entrance to the G.M. Poletown plant.
I have reams of first hand information about Poletown, and living there during the 40’s and early 50’s.
If you have interest to pursuing a sequel to your wonderful:’ Detroit’s Lost Poletown’ which I recently finished reading…please contact me at: 802-522-2784, or vtstanley@myfairpoint.net
I presently live in Swanton, Vermont. You won’t be disappointed!
Thank You, R.J. Stanley (Zmudczynski)

Robert, thanks for getting in touch! Since the publication of the book, many past residents of Poletown have come forward. The book was just released in February so I have yet to hear from the publisher about the progress of the book and if they would like to do another edition. I will make sure to contact you if they mention doing that. Thank you so much for writing me and reading the book! Blessings,
Brianne Turczynski
