York County authors find voice through storytelling, imagination
Casie Fowler started writing her novel, "Five One and a Half," on a whim one evening.
Like many new authors, the Glen Rock resident found her passion for storytelling pushed her to new boundaries beyond just a hobby.
"It was an unexpected hobby that became my passion and career," Fowler said.
Fowler is among a small group of new York County authors self-publishing their books. West York native Darrell Berkheimer made the leap to publishing 11 years ago.
Fowler started initially started writing as a hobby — which took off unexpectedly. Berkheimer, meanwhile, got his start in the professional world writing at his college newspaper at Temple University, and later, The York Dispatch in 1964.
