Battle Creek Enquirer – September 24, 1993

Love, death are choice topics

Area authors concentrate on romance, teens’ concerns about death in new books.

For decades, Battle Creek writer Art Fettig has called himself “Mr. Lucky.”  He’s been dubbed “the confidence man” whose positive thinking and motivational speeches have taken him across the country and even abroad.

This year, though, Fettig has weathered what may have been the most difficult chapter of his life: the death in June of his wife of 38 years, Ruthie.

With his 35th book, Serenity, Serenity, Fettig addresses what he calls “a very, very trying time in my life.”
