Author to discuss
'flipping' houses

Author Pamela Frost will be at the Learned Owl Book Shop, 204 N. Main St., on Sept. 4 from 1 to 3 p.m. Frost's new book, "Houses of Cards," is a humorous and sometimes shocking recollection of her family's ventures into real estate investing. Having bought the first house they "flipped" using credit cards, the Frosts moved on to bigger and ever more involved projects with fixer-uppers.

Readers may remember Frost for her short story, "The Shoebox," which appears in "A Cup of Comfort for Mothers and Daughters." She lives in Medina and manages rental properties in Akron.
