A graduate of BROWN, as WELL-REGARDED A UNIVERSITY as one could hope to attend, Miss Ursu passed several years learning her craft as a CRITIC OF DRAMA and WRITER OF THE ARTS for the PRESTIGIOUS & PARENTHETICAL PERIODICALS City Pages and the Portland Phoenix. Having entered the world in the TWIN CITY of MINNEAPOLIS, Miss Ursu has recently RETURNED TO THE CITY OF HER BIRTH to take up residence therein FOR THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE. The perky authoress is ALREADY HARD AT WORK on her THIRD ASTONISHING NOVEL.

Be it in the sunny hills of CALIFORNIA, the chilly plains of MINNESOTA or among the imposing buildings of NEW YORK, Miss Ursu promises to make every effort and attempt to DELIVER HER LECTURES hygienically and with great verve in EVERY CORNER OF THIS GREAT NATION.

WHICH, as the time of this writing, include the ENGAGING AND MESMERIZING 1st work entitled SPILLING CLARENCE, chronicling the spill of AN ELIXIR OF MEMORY in the small town of CLARENCE MINNESOTA, praised nationwide as AS FINE A PIECE OF LITERATURE AS WAS EVER WRITTEN and the more recent THE DISAPPARATION OF JAMES, the TRAGIC YET WONDERFUL novel of ideas telling the sad story of the DISAPPEARANCE of a young boy, about which reviewers from coast to coast are EQUALLY ENTHUSIASTIC if not, in many cases, MORE SO.

Both topics of which are of PARTICULAR INTEREST & UTMOST CONCERN to Miss Ursu, a CONTENTIOUS and UPRIGHT CITIZEN.
