I have no idea what my poor chickie Stella was thinking when she tried to get her rather large body under the tiny body of Heather while she was in the nesting box. I watched as Stella was squawking and pushing to get under her and Heather was having none of it. The twins, Iggy and Trudy, heard the commotion and ran into the coop. Both of them ganged up on Stella so viciously that Stella ran out of the coop, squatted down and laid and egg right in the middle of the run. Poor sweet Stella. I already knew she the low dog on the totem pole, but now I gotta add crazy as well.

Hardrock: Crazy Jake’s Fish Bomb
by L. Bracken
Genre: Humor & Satire | Contemporary Fiction
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 café, 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. HARDROCK: Crazy Jake’s Fish Bomb is a fun, fast-paced and engaging read leaving you wishing your virtual vacation to Hardrock could last a little longer. Sure to bring a smile, Hardrock: Crazy Jake’s Fish Bomb is reminiscent of Patrick McManus, Erma Bombeck and Jean Shepherd in reflecting a uniquely humorous sense of time, place and point of view.
L. Bracken’s original voice creates an authentically rich and imaginative landscape sure to make this book a treasured gift for the outdoor enthusiast in your life or anyone appreciative of simpler times and a closer sense of community.
