The Alice M Swanson Letters

A DEVELOPING STORY, ONE LETTER AT A TIME

My name is Alice M Swanson and I'm excited to share my adventures with you! 


It's not easy being a business owner these days, but owning a tearoom has to be one of my greatest joys.  Where else can you serve tea and learn interesting things about people and town? 


Through my letter service, I will regale you with stories of the tearoom, my community, and my own life. Each month you will receive a letter from me, catching you up on all the latest in my life. In addition, I will be sending you a special tea each month (2 pyramid sachets) for you to enjoy as you recount my stories. 


From heart-warming and honest, to uplifting and adventurous, I can't wait to share my stories with you in my new monthly letter subscription.

WHO IS ALICE M SWANSON

Alice M. Swanson is the pen name for author Kelly M. Hackman. 


Named in honor of her Nana, Alice, Hackman recounts spending time at her Nana's house and observing a box on the dining room table containing paper, envelopes, pens, and stamps.  Her Nana loved to write letters to family, and Hackman wants to honor her Nana's love for writing letters in her newest project, The Alice M. Swanson Chronicles. 


Alice, the owner of the beloved Palms and Pearls Tearoom in her hometown of Sunset Bayou, Florida, finds joy in the everyday and decides to take on a letter writing project, sharing the joys and adventures of her tearoom, her community, and her life with readers.  


Modeled after Hackman's own experiences, Alice shares stories with subscribers in the form of a written letter sent to their mailbox each month. 

A MONTHLY SMILE IN YOUR MAILBOX

Each month, I will mail each subscriber my written letter to catch you up on the latest happenings in my life.  A real letter in the mail, not email, and no AI content. You get the real me.


I love real mail! it's the traditional way of communicating, and it brings me such joy. Afterall, who doesn't love opening the mailbox and receiving a letter from a friend?


I look forward to you joining me on this fun adventure, one that you will only know about if you subscribe. 


*Subscriptions begin each year in January and run until the end of December.  Subscriptions are automatically renewed annually unless unsubscribed.
