There is just no making me happy. I was complaining before about the butterfly and humming bird garden that just wasn’t growing. Now I have a new problem. It grew so much I cannot get through the yard without almost crawling on my hands and knees. There is actually a doggy tunnel that my pup made to get to his part of the yard. I certainly am enjoying all the birds it has attracted though. My yard it quite popular. Oddly I have not really seen any butterflies and only one humming bird shows up, but I will still call this a success!

Hardrock: Crazy Jake’s Fish Bomb
L. Bracken
Genre: Westerns | Action & Adventure | Contemporary Fiction | Historical Fiction | Humor & Satire
FREE for a limited time
When a family looking to escape the corporate pressures and gas shortages of a crowded 1979 Houston makes a break for Hardrock, Colorado — a tiny town supporting a winter population of less than a dozen — what could they possibly hope to find?
Adventure! And outfitting the neglected Quartz Creek Inn with an operational cafe, saloon, trading post and motel in preparation for a hectic summer tourist season is where the story of Hardrock begins. Hardrock’s pronounced lack of amenities, unforgiving conditions and well-defined, likeable characters set the stage for hilarious situations in a primitive place where people make up the happily out-populated minority. Languishing behind America’s modern culture, Hardrock’s pace is decidedly slow – some might even say stunted. But, at the end of this county road, life is yours for the shaping. Ex-lawmen and outlaws, hippies, cowboys and mountain men and women all add spice to an eclectic recipe for retro-lunacy. Join the handful of Hardrock locals in the remote wilderness of the Colorado Rockies, where 14,000-foot peaks and the rustic setting of the Quartz Creek Inn conspire to provoke memorable misadventures and might just inspire you to stay.

Sally Huss
Genre: Children’s eBooks
FREE for a limited time
In the town of Tandumtoo, someone forgot to say ‘Thank you.’ Eh gad! It seems to be an unwritten law in Tandumtoo to respond to any kindness by saying ‘Thank you.’ That means when someone does something nice for you, or says something nice to you, or offers to help you, and especially when someone gives you something. And that was the case here when one of the residents, Willy Saladheimer, gave a newcomer to town one of his tandumberries and the man did not say ‘Thank you.’ Oh the ruckus this started!
Naturally, as in all good children’s stories the situation was put right. The newcomer simply had a different point of view on the subject of gift giving and a different take on The Golden Rule. 30 delightful illustrations included.
