Welcome to
IPS Features
Few people have had such a varied and colorful career as
Dalton Roberts. School teacher, politician, public official, musician,
singer, song writer, poet and lastly--but certainly not the least of his
talents--he is a writer. He can turn a word or phrase with gentle
strength from humor to reverence to thought provoking.

In over 50 years in the newspaper, writing and now Internet publication business, I have never seen more talent from writers pouring their emotions, humor and sometimes sadness into words.
We are sure you will enjoy the current features and those in our archives.

Not since the late Erma Brombeck kept America chuckling has a more talented writer than Kimra Traynor Herb found humor in the everyday people and happenings in a housewife's world. Her Side Streets column pokes fun at the conventional and she is very much the target of her own wit.

Stuart
James,
Associate Editor
The quest of a mind trained in legal work makes the writings of Stuart James razor sharp. He cuts through the fat around an issue to go to the meat. The result is precise and entertaining commentary on American today--in his hometown, in his state and in his country.

Writing is one of Mike Mahn's many talents. A public official and attorney, he came back from two tours of duty in Vietnam with a sensitive compassion for life and its many facets. He brings this to readers with his prose in American Age.

An unconventional look at the world is the specialty of Naman Crowe, who has spent a lifetime amusing and being amused by life around him which he aptly puts to pen and paper.

A native New Englander who "went west," Danny McBride found fame and success in the fields of music, writing and television. He was one of the original members of the ShaNaNa band and does voiceovers for television. His satiric writing style sticks pins in the pompous and vain. Few writers have a better command of words.
