What's this Magazine?

A Simple Life magazine ceased publication in December, 2020. For more than a decade, people fond of the simpler aspects of our homes and heritage savored this quarterly magazine. In every issue, it offered features about homes, antiques, recipes, gardening, and a dash of history thrown in.

Jill Peterson is an extraordinary photographer and writer whose earlier books ~ "Homestead," "Settlement" and "Homecoming," among others ~ found a receptive and dedicated audience that expanded greatly with her magazine. A main reason for its popularity was summed up in Jill's mission statement: "Getting an issue of A Simple Life in your mailbox is like getting a letter from an old friend."

Writing for A Simple Life appealed to me because the content was down-to-earth and without pretense. I consider myself fortunate to be counted among the fine group of people who helped this magazine along.

You're welcome to visit my personal website at www.gregorylefever.com to learn more about my writing career, which has included journalism, advertising, corporate communications, and a novel over the years.

I've been blessed with the opportunity to write about many wonderful people, win some awards, collect some fine clients, and enjoy a really satisfying career ~ a rare thing indeed.

Plus, for several years I was a contributing editor to Early American Life magazine. Several of my articles from that magazine are on my blog Early American Writings.
