A is for Edelweiss - Hardcover

Noran, Jerald E.: - Jerry Noran is a retired architect and building official whose professional experience centered on hospital renovation, accessibility projects, and building code consultation. None of this experience provided an outlet for his interest in constrained writing. Consequently, the borders of his desk calendars were filled with lists of palindromes, words with four consecutive vowels, homonyms that were also antonyms, Pilish poems and an assortment of peculiar limericks. His main winter project during retirement will be determining whether or not there is another book in these border scribblings. Jerry lives in Fort Thomas, Kentucky, with his wife, Cyndy, and their feline friend, Kitty Cat. Kitty Cat is not bothered by the fact that her first and second names require two different consonants in order to make the same sound.
