Storms
Price range: $3.99 through $20.99Although the news bulletin confirmed her decision to evacuate, Elise didn’t want to hear another minute of forecasts, preparations, and predictions. Brad searched until he found a nice easy listening channel, and drove through the rain on surprisingly deserted roads. Apparently, the rest of the city heeded the warnings long before the Steiners. As the car ventured through the quiet stillness of the calm before the storm, the children slept, while their parents and grandparents sat in silence, looking out at the Louisiana wetlands bordering the interstate highway.
At one point, in their lonely journey, a caravan of paramedic units and ambulances passed them up, in the left lane Elise felt her flesh creep as she watched these people go by, imagining how frightened they must be, dealing not only with the pain and uncertainty of an illness, but also, their sole reliance on total strangers to fi nd a safe haven for them during the storm Each of those patients was someone’s mother or father, a grandparent, or a sibling, or, worse yet, someone’s child. “Thank you, God,” she whispered, again, and turned around to look at each member of her family, as though she had to make sure everyone was still there with her.

Letters Of Life: Whispers, Secrets, & Lies
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99Letters of Life is a collection of perceptive, achingly honest poems that offer a decisive view which makes no apologies. These verses attempt to simplify rather than complicate the common ills which plague humanity. Often providing insight into life’s often messy entanglements.
These poems are divided into three separate sections. In “Whispers” we examine those things that people speak softly about under breath. The poems in “Secrets” reflect a pool of applied wisdom and answers to personal questions. And “Lies” deals with rumors, half-truths, and false impressions. Tying all the poems together is an undercurrent of truth.
“For in truth, there is love, in love, there is understanding. In understanding, there is forgiveness.”
In this stunning collection, whispers will cease; secrets will be revealed; and lies will manifest-but the truth will remain evident throughout.

Last of the Small Towns: Short Stories
Price range: $3.99 through $8.99Last of the Small Towns: Short Stories is a charming collection of tales that recount the boyhood years of author Stewart Hyson. From gatherings in the “Indian Graveyard” through unprecedented encounters with baby chicks, here is a sentimental recounting of a range of colourful juvenile adventures experienced by a boy during a time that was poignantly more innocent than today.
Hantsport, Nova Scotia, might have been a small place during the 1950s and early 1960s, but it was a veritable hive of activity in certain sectors and for certain segments of its lively population-especially through a kid’s eyes. In this memoir, Hyson invites readers to share his childish perspective of the postwar years on the streets of this little town. With a strong wash of nostalgia that characterizes his memory of his time there, Hyson shares his growing-up experiences of such preoccupations of the time as Sputnik and the widespread introduction of television.
Last of the Small Towns: Short Stories is a labour of love that delivers readers back into their own childhoods, so vividly painted are its scenes. It is this energy, this devotion to subject, that are the book’s greatest strength.

Ron’s Ramblings: Characters, Critters and Us Cantankerous Rednecks
Price range: $5.99 through $19.99Big Sky Country is one of the many nicknames for the state of Montana, the place the author calls home. While Montana is a diverse state in people and in geography, north-eastern Montana is characterized by soft rolling hills and sharp coulees; scrub grass, sage brush and wild flowers cover the prairie lands and tall cottonwood, ash and willow trees shade the waterways, all outlined against skies a magnificent shade of blue which make this countryside unforgettable and unique. The people that have and still do call this place home are just as unforgettable and unique as the skies.
This is a collection of stories and tales, mostly centered around the rural area of north-eastern Montana; some are from the authors own experience, including family and local history, as well as stories of wildlife, hunting and farming, and some belong to others who have been kind enough to share their own histories and recollections.

Firewall
Price range: $3.99 through $9.99This is the story of how our species got smart, and emotionally driven. It uses common knowledge and common sense to speculate on how EVOLUTION could feed and shelter 7 billion people, build modern computers, the internet, AND Jesus, Mohamed, Buddha, Confucius, Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot.
The UNDERLYING force of EVOLUTION, is ENTROPY because TIME is a CAUSE and EFFECT process with predictable CONSEQUENCES, so we can use mental SIMULATION of the causes to anticipate how to change the future using observation, thinking, and experimenting.
However, that was the EASY PART, because that chain of causation then gave us PURPOSE and INTELLIGENCE to achieve it by making us FIGHT among ourselves for millions of years till those left standing were SELF AWARE and able to use reason to define meaning and intelligent purpose in joining together as a SPECIES, to survive and prosper by LOVING each other, with shared JOY in OVERCOMING ENTROPY in a CYBER universe of our own. Jesus and the other prophets just opened the message that evolution had already coded in our genome.
