Her parents were nowhere to be found and they left no note. This adds to her sense of unease and the need to escape the residue from the dream and thoughts of her family’s dysfunctional life teetering on the edge of poverty, which is nearly unbearable.

On the way there her fantastical journey begins…Falling off a mountain into the year 1896, dealing with a woman who wants her dead, and avoiding an overly suspicious sheriff are the downside of the adventure Fate throws her into. The upside seems to be rescuing a reclusive woman, who may hold the secret to how Windland can get home, and a blue-eyed Irishman who holds not only Windland’s heart but her future in his hands. Will she be able to return to her own time? And what will happen when she does?Windland’s Rescue is a coming of age tale with a cast of characters that span time and galaxies; energy grids and traveling portals; wicked women and secret rooms – and the ultimate need to find your way back home.

" A is for Arnyx" is in the tradition of Lewis Carroll, Dr.Seuss and Shel Silverstein - verse for children that also appeals to adults. Children will enjoy the simple rhymes and the (sometimes silly) humor. They'll appreciate the fact that there is one verse (and one creature) for each letter of the alphabet. Adults will enjoy the more subtle forms of humor( the Questerling goes on Weightwatchers) and appreciate the use of a wide variety of verse forms. Both children and adults will love the vividly-imagined illustrations by Llano Blue - creatures conjured up from the merest hint of description in the text.

"Fisherman Jack" tells the story of two brothers who learn about fishing and about life through their friendship with a poor old fisherman named Jack. "Til My Computer Broke Down" celebrates imagination and "real world" play. The book fosters a love and appreciation of the world beyond the front door and the computer screen, while delivering infectious, blues-folk-pop-rock tunes that earned Big Kid Band a Children's Web Music award in 2004. To hear a sample of the songs, check out "Big Kid Band: Music for Children AND Adults" in Amazon's music category, or go to SteppingStonePress.com.
