My youngest basset had a gift card for a local toy store here in town, and last night we went out to redeem it. The baby bassets ran into the store like a couple of crazed rabbits and meticulously went through each and every aisle looking for the perfect item. This of course meant I was going to be there a while. The thing I really like about locally owned stores, is the people who work there seem to be there because they really like the shop they work at. While the boys and hubby looked around, the shopkeeper and I struck up a very pleasant conversation about the original Transformers (MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE! (singing)) and other toys of our youth. I traveled back in time and I was in my childhood room with robots fighting and blowing stuff up. I was getting too nostalgic though. I was in a weakened state. My baby bassets could have asked for anything and I would have bought it for them.

VOLUME TWO in the WOOD COW CHRONICLES series.

For untold ages, the Granite Hulks at Tilk Duraow have been the impregnable center of the High One’s slaving system. Overpowering. Impenetrable. Final. The point from which there is no return. But now, fifteen-year-old Helga’s revolution — one she hardly expected to begin — is way bigger than she ever dreamed. Tilk Duraow itself is in danger. Unexpectedly finding common cause with a troupe of oddball characters, Helga and old comrades are reunited in a chain of events that portends the Overending. Now even the High One himself is no longer safe. The Overending opens a crack…

What she accepted as her past turns out to be a convoluted lie that reaches across generations, reshaping her memories of the Grandfather she despised, the father she adored, and the mother she never knew. Along her journey she encounters a mysterious stranger. In Hughes Levesque, Barleigh gains an unsought ally with dark secrets of his own.
