A Friendly Introduction to Economics

“In fewer than two hundred pages, Carol Turner explains the history, concepts, and vocabulary of economics in a way anyone can understand, and with a bit of humor thrown in. Better than an outline or a summary because it actually explains the concepts; easier than a textbook because the author remembers economics isn't everyone's favorite subject. Clear writing and gentle humor make this an enjoyable read.”

The Return: A Novel of Vietnam
The Fox's Tale
Youth. “A disgraced musketeer without hope. An orphaned native child. A new frontier. This collection of interconnected short stories follows fugitive Musketeer of the Black Gerard la Russo and his daughter Renard as they navigate life in New France (Canada) at the dawn of the 18th century.”
Victory on the Home Front
Youth. High reviews. “It’s 1943 and eleven-year-old Les MacGregor is thinking of running away. He’s sick of his parents, who are always fighting, and his three horrible brothers—perfect James, bitter Charlie, and annoying Johnny—the youngest, and a total pest. With his parents focused on their problems, Les has plenty of time on his own to do what he wants. After being ostracized thanks to the school bully, Les spends time dissecting a dead cat in his secret science lab, scaling the attic roof, and tapping phone lines, which seems like a great idea until the FBI comes calling. It’s time for Les to go, so he plans his escape. While the family gathers at the station to ship his oldest brother off to war, Les figures it’s the perfect time to hop a train and go on a grand adventure. After all, there’s nobody looking—right?”
