The #rosssisters both young and old (two out of the three with their mother Veda). My #book of #historicalfiction about them #TheContortionists is polished and out with #literaryagents #crossyourfingers
The #RossSisters had planned a tour of #Australia in the late 1940s, but only Vicki made it. The first photo was taken by Jacque Leonard, whose family shared part of his journal for my #book of #historicalfiction #TheContortionists. #GeorgeCaddy shot the other pix of #beachobatics in the 1930s.
Perhaps the last photo of the three #RossSisters together. It was April 1959 and Vicki (right) had traveled to Dixie and #DickieHightower's London home. Betsy (left) was performing around Europe as a solo act. My #historicalfiction #book #TheContortionists is done. Looking for a #literaryagent

The first major article written about the #RossSisters was in a #ColoradoCity #Texas #newspaper in 1938. Some info is wrong, but this blends into the early pages of my #book of #historicalfiction #TheContortionists which is done/polished and in the #literaryagent #publisher stage. More to come...
Today I somehow ended up at an #acrobatics exhibition. Time to come clean: My #book #TheContortionists about the #RossSisters is done. Now it's entering the #literaryagent #publisher phase.
