Read or Listen: Gertie's House Combines Old-Time Radio and Today's Technology

Ongoing Saga Featuring Quirky Senior Citizens Combines Humor with Dramatic Twists

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Gertie's House is an online story that can be either read or listened to--just like the "soaps" of the radio days. With the click of the mouse, visitors to www.GertiesHouse.com can easily follow the entertaining escapades of a group of senior citizens whose daily lives give new meaning to the word adventure.

Cliffhanger episodes featuring spunky Gertie, retired FBI agent Elmo, Wil the caretaker, and other unforgettable characters are now available from your nearest computer. Episodes are delivered every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at www.GertiesHouse.com.

Says Wil Newton, the story's author, "Although the story is fiction, it is patterned after my own personal experiences back in 1993-94 when I converted my mother's duplex to a personal care home so my brother and I wouldn't have to take Gertie to a nursing facility--something she had always dreaded.

"In addition to Gertie, Elmo, and Wil, the other characters in our story--Annie, Millie, Sara, and Coco--are based on actual people who lived at the real Gertie's House. I've tried to capture their actual personality traits, along with their 'quirks,' in this make-believe version." With a laugh, Newton adds, "Like they used to say on the old TV show, Dragnet, only the names have been changed to protect the innocent."

Also available from Gertie's House is a FREE weekly Senior Citizens eNews Bulletin. Selective news articles from across the country are made available to subscribers every Monday that hopefully will cause a chuckle or two, or keep them better informed.
