Prairie Bloomin' (Butter in the Well Series)
“Popular Kansas author Linda K. Hubalek continues the story of a Swedish immigrant family in Prairie Bloomin', the second book in the Butter in the Well series. Homesteading the Kansas prairie in 1869, Prairie Bloomin' features the diary of young Alma Swenson, as she grows up on the Kansas prairie that her parents homesteaded. Hubalek grew up in this same house, researching the land and family that lived on the farm before her.”
The Companion--A short story
“The rugged terrain of the Alaskan Territory provides the setting and character of this short story. Jack Raines, a veteran of WWII, settles in Skagway after the death of his mother in Kendall Washington. A loner and a drifter, Jack meets Charlie and they forge a friendship built on their complementary differences. As bush pilots they are fearless but as comrades they are woefully human. The spirituality of the wilderness and the spiritual nature of death are explored through this friendship and Jack’s personal loss.”
The McHenry Inheritance
“On a fly-fishing vacation in California's High Sierra, San Francisco stockbroker Quill Gordon encounters more than he bargained for. A menacing "citizen militia," led by a former radio talk-show host, has taken over an alpine meadow and is stockpiling a massive cache of weapons. Ellen McHenry, a rancher's daughter to whom Gordon is attracted, is in the middle of a trial over a contested will that is tearing apart her family and threatening her father's legacy. When a murder is committed in cold blood and broad daylight, Ellen becomes a suspect, the militia ramps up its suspicious activities, and Gordon is drawn more deeply into the case — whether he wants to be or not.”
The Redemption
“Four teenage girls, one boy and their swimming coach are trapped on a desert island, where the normal rules of living don’t apply. What will they do to survive? Are the rumours being spread about the coach, true? What else does he teach when he takes an individual on a hunting foray? Will Emma turn the tide of being bullied? Did one of the girls really fall to her death, or was she killed to cover up what was going on? This fast moving tale shows what can happen when the structure of society falls apart, old scores are settled and the innocent suffer.”

REDUCTIONS
Shut Down
First of several, second is below. “What happens when government fiscal mismanagement, resource wars, peak oil, overpopulation, high unemployment and an unexpected shocking and sudden wave of bank failures converge and descend at the same time? It just could mean unimaginable chaos. Written for readers of all ages, this riveting apocalyptic novel tells the exciting story of a young Asian American woman starting another routine, early-morning shift at a downtown Portland, Oregon, Starbucks. She finds, as the warm summer morning progresses, that the nation's economy has completely and utterly collapsed and there is absolutely nothing the government or anyone can do about it. The chaos, fear, and horrifying depravation that immediately follow start in the first chapter and move like lightning throughout the entire fast-paced book. Shut Down portrays her journey to seek safety, first for herself, then later for her family as they all flee for their very survival across the Sandy River and into the close-knit, rural farmlands of Corbett, Oregon, where they must work long hours and fight hard as they strive to establish a harsh, new life.”
