This is a series of 7 bedtime stories told over the years to our grandson “Benny” as he is named in the stories. Other major characters in the adventures are our pets: Moxie and Mollie –Miniature Dachshunds, Rupert and Cooper – Pembroke Welch Corgis and Monet the cat, who sometimes thinks she is a dog too… These adventures always occur at night and take place at a small rural cottage in the Midwest. The Adventurers all sneak out through the dog door in the laundry room…..but Ssh…it’s a secret….don’t tell anyone, especially grownups... In these adventures, animals will communicate in human language (English to be exact) which has been carefully translated from the standard universal animal language. The Adventurers live in a small quaint cottage in a small holler beside a narrow road on the side of a hill….. It is a quiet restful place surrounded by woods. There are trails that wind their way through those woods and provide the setting for these adventures. Each story shares christian family values as learning lessons for our grandchildren.

Would you like an adventure on another planet? This is just one of the questions Lara and her sister, Eva, must answer one sunny day in their garden. They wonder, how will they return to Earth in time for lunch? And how will they get there when the aliens' spaceship is so small? When it's only big enough for ants! But their help is needed on the planet Zeegrazzalo- Jeewoppza so off they go - into the unknown. Their feelings of helplessness only start to fade after a flight across the planet's Outerlands, in Kweezy Capolza's hummingcraft. Maybe, just maybe, the sisters can find some solutions to the aliens' problems. However, they think they might need their mother's help and she is back on Earth!

The dry humour and intelligence of Elly Griffith's Ruth Galloway mysteries, set in Norfolk, England, are fresh air in a genre dominated by surly male detectives and gun-totin' female PIs.In the third novel in the Ruth Galloway series, shoreline erosion at the village of Broughton Sea's End has revealed the skeletons of six men, their arms bound. From the mineral content of their bones, forensic archaeologist Ruth Galloway can tell that they were all Germans. Most likely, DCI Harry Nelson reckons, they were killed by the local Home Guard when they tried to land during the Second World War. This is just the first complication in a story brimming with surprise twists, not all of them stemming from these murders. Ruth is a new mum of a daughter she adores but whose existence is raising eyebrows and is testing Ruth's assumption that she can be a mum, a professional archaeologist, a teacher, and an adjunct to a murder investigation all at the same time.The House at Sea's End is smart, witty, complex, intriguing, generous — much like its protagonist.
