FICTION
Nature Survival, War, and other Hardship
The Good Red Road (The Ray Corngrower series)
Teen. “A tornado hits the small town of Bristow setting off a chain of events, that include not only a confrontation between the Army National Guard and the Creek Nation, but also drives a huge anaconda from the swamps in search of food.”
RUNAWAY TWINS IN ALASKA (Runaway Twins series #2)
“Rachel, Janie, and Justin (trained by his father and uncle as a survivalist) are back--this time in wilderness Alaska where they battle bears, bad guys, and nature's fury. The Prophet of the polygamous cult of Sheba Hill reaches out from prison to have the Lemon twins kidnapped and transported to Whitehorse in the Yukon where he has established his new God's Way Temple. He still considers the girls his double portion from God and he wants them waiting for him when he's released on appeal. And the Prophet pays extra to make certain their companion Justin Patrick, whom he hates for rescuing the twins in Montana's Bitterroot Mountains, is eliminated and buried deep in Alaska's Yuktapah Preserve. A long-dormant volcano explodes; earthquakes gobble up canyons, lakes, and rivers; and grizzly sows and boars make it clear they can't be controlled. The pressure on the three teenagers never lets up. Each time they think they've gained the victory, they encounter new and more difficult obstacles.”
Assignment Prague
“Anton Janak is a dedicated member of the Czechoslovakian Resistance working against the Nazis, and he values anyone who can help his efforts. But when he learns that the young spy sent by the OSS to Prague is a woman, he has misgivings about working with her. He had expected a man—a man who could handle his assignment with the help of Janak and his fellow Resistance workers. It doesn’t take long, however, for Janak to realize the beautiful blonde spy has enough daring and resourcefulness to do what it takes in the occupied city. The Nazis are everywhere, but Tereza’s knowledge of Czech and German allows her to fit right in.…The bond that develops between them can only be destroyed by death, but that’s a real possibility for covert activists in Nazi-occupied Prague.”
Among the Sterling Youth
“An Indiana farm boy desires only to claim his corner of the family farm where he plans to build a cabin, marry his fiancée, and tend his own fields. But news of the war reaches Greene County in April 1861 and the governor calls for volunteers. He is torn between his long held desires and a new patriotic fervor. His best friend pressures him to join, but Carey ultimately passes because he is needed by his father to help on the farm, not to mention the objections of his fiancée…He survives three long years. Finally, by an act of valor, he wins furlough and returns to his beloved farm. He discovers how brutal times can make a man close himself off from the things he loves nearly to the point of choking them out completely. … Among the Sterling Youth is an historical novel set in the time of the American Civil War. It was born out of a family story passed down to us about our great great grandfather. A prisoner of war, his was a story of hard times and suffering, but also of answered prayers and waters of mercy.”
The Island of Two Skulls
“In 1809, shipwrecked orphans try to survive as they face murderous privateers, runaway slaves, revolutions, sea battles, and a greedy captain’s scheme to steal treasure.” Teen.
Cold Lonely Courage
“Madeleine Toche races to the front only to find her brother mortally wounded during the German Blitzkrieg attack on France at the outset of World War II. His death and her rape at the hands of an SS Stormtrooper cast Madeleine down a path of death and violence as her desire for revenge reaches a crescendo. … inspired by the true story of a young Belgian woman who helped countless Jewish children escape from the terrors of the Nazi regime.”

Hey, It's Dave
ReplyDeleteCharcuterie update
Hi Natalia.
I made my first sausages this weekend. Need to back off on some spices and get a better smoker but otherwise not too shabby! I must have had 300 feet of hog casings prepped to stuff 5 pounds of meat (didn't know how much was in one pack, so I opened three)! Keep postin' 'em.
Dave
Thank you so much for the continued reviews! I think I will collect all your comments about this and put them together some time to post; it may help someone on the same road. Then when I find a charcuterie book I can link back to it.
ReplyDeleteThat was so funny about the casings I laughed out loud! I couldn't figure out why you'd open all three instead of seeing how long one package was, but I think you have to soak them in advance, right? Sorry that happened to you, but it's a bit of a laugh for the rest of us--and we can learn from that too!
Thank you again, Dave. :)
