Country-fied: Life in the Dakotas
”In the Upper Midwest political conversations can become heated and the weather might be the only safe topic of conversation. In this collection of short essays, however, author Elaine Babcock challenges readers to consider social concerns for hunger, poverty, and justice, all the while expressing joy for daily living with her sense of humor and love for country life.”
Rachel, My Mother
”My mother grew up in one of the poorest parts of Eastern Europe. She watched the murder of her parents and yet survived years of torment. Her life after the holocaust was fraught with nightmares, survivors’ guilt, anger, and above all, overwhelming sadness. I attempted to present some of my mother's experience, as a child before the holocaust, family members, shtetl life and stories of courage.”
From Flatlandah to Sheep Fahmah Momma-Part Deux (From Flatlandah to Mainah)
Part two to follow part one listed yesterday. Collection of blog entries...”whimsical adventures of moving from busy Southeastern Massachusetts to the wilderness of Maine with her daughters. ...how a suburban Mom learned how to be a farmer in the mountains and how she began to make her dream of becoming a novelist a reality. In this collection of blogs are her struggles, interpretations of the cultural differences she moved to and how she learned to overcome obstacles that seemed to have constantly been thrown in her path.”

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 Man Who Saved Two Notch
”:In a post-apocalyptic world, society reverts to the lawlessness of the old West. Twelve-year-old Henry Arnaught is given the task by the dying town of Two Notch’s rector and dictator to find and hire a remorseless Killer named Abel Decker to defend their town against a band of approaching marauders. It is a trek that will bring Henry face to face with the man people call the Devil himself and change the boy’s life forever.”
The Sky Between Two Worlds
”A novel of intrigue, love, battle and survival in a future world of titanic East-West conflict. In 2027, fate tosses Kantak Johnson and friends into the struggle when he and another separately recognize how to make stealth warplanes undetectable. Kantak discloses it in the West; the other secretly discloses it to a hostile East. Thus two nuclear powers each develop bombers that the other cannot detect. Then the hostility over oil ratchets up....”
A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Takeover!
”This was one town that didn't go quietly into the night when the UN troops arrived to begin the NWO takeover! The story follows a handful of people through the events, including two families from opposite sides of the social spectrum, and a team of army soldiers who are reluctantly carrying out orders -- until enough is enough! A growing number of soldiers have decided the army has gone AWOL on them. It's no longer the army they signed up to serve. Working side by side, civilians and soldiers take back their town and send the foreign troops packing. This book is light entertainment and mostly free of profanity. Originally written as two separate books, they have been combined into one book. The sequel, "A Funny Thing Happened When We Took Back America" is now part of this book.”

Then his friend Derek discovers a strange girl imprisoned in the quarters of Thrallia's rulers. Mare is unlike anyone they've ever seen and Patric's determination to help her escape leads them all to a much greater adventure than they ever imagined.”

The Final Inhumanity
”Throughout the millennia, nothing has consumed the energies and inventiveness of mankind more than the weapons of death. The crossbow, artillery, the machinegun, the bomber, nuclear, biological and germ warfare - all were decried in their times as inhuman. Many were banned entirely, but they were all, nonetheless, used. Millions died. The mighty foundries and factories continue to churn them out, day and night, even as reasonable people wring their hands in anguish at man’s inability to stop the slaughter. But in the latter years of the twentieth century, a new weapon emerged, more insidious than all that had come before. With neither explosives nor electronics, it speaks to us in familiar, comforting tones. It is the Final Inhumanity.”
