Donihe is also the author of the novel, Shall We Gather at The Garden?, (Eraserhead Press of Portland, Ore.), and has had stories and poems published in over 120 magazines in six countries. For "Osteoporoses" ordering information, we invite everyone to visit the Sam's Dot Library at http://samsdotpublishing.com.
