His 17 1/2 year relationship with his fantastic wonder dog Tuna is lovingly described in beautiful prose. Thank you so much, Roy, for sharing your memories and humor with us!

The delightful story of Pastor Bruce D. Prewer and his wife Marie Joyce, as they negotiate sixty years of family responsibilities and church calling in southern Australia.

At fifteen, Rose had it all - friends, a loving family, a job, and her own bank account. She wasn't looking for romance until Clay, a handsome cowboy with a gentle kiss, changed all that one summer's night. Their love story would span three decades until his family intervened and turned this fairy tale into a modern-day Romeo and Juliet; exposing everyone's true character and putting Rose's life in jeopardy. As you form your own opinions about spineless Clay and his decisions, the red flags missed and the opportunities wasted, you might not be able to put this book down - although you will be tempted to throw it across the room. It's a story full of twists and turns, love and hate, reality and fantasy, and it's based on true events. You can't make this stuff up.

Green Book Festival Award-winner "The Healing of Gaia" is a fairy tale for our presently endangered world, written specifically to encourage and facilitate efforts by children of all ages to save her. It weaves a simpler story in boxes throughout the extended text; serves as a hopeful antidote to today's frightening news and alternative truths; and includes concrete actions even young ones can take, spiritual practices readers may want to incorporate, and positive real-life role models for them to emulate, all wrapped up in a fairy tale of hope for Grandmother Earth and a magical stag, and victory for the children who save them. 5 Stars from Readers' Favorite.
