Hi, I’m Brenda Drexler, an author, teacher, Psychotherapist, wife, mother, grandmother, sister, yada, yada, yada…(thanks Elaine)…and have always had a passion for writing and reading and people and their relationships. I had to semi-retire to be able to dedicate the time and energy I wanted for writing. Good decision. I love writing.

I work my word-magic, humble as I am, in my home office in Southern Indiana, although I must admit to being a transplant from Louisville, KY.

My first book of short stories, Four Shorts for Your Bucket List, can be found on Amazon as a Kindle book and paperback. I published one of my short stories in THE WORST BOOK IN THE UNIVERSE, an Indian Creek Anthology, along with other authors from the Southern Indiana Writers. The target audience for this anthology is middle school ages, but any age would enjoy these great stories.

GRACIE AND MARGE: KICKING THE BUCKET TOGETHER is my first novel. Is it okay to say that I simply love my main characters? They were born in one of my short stories, also found in my book Four Shorts. Some people have compared this novel to THELMA and LOUISE, but I say that Gracie and Marge have a lot more sense than to drive off a cliff when there is life to be lived.

More books and short stories upcoming.

I am available to visit and, perchance, read for local book clubs who have read one of my books. Just contact me:
