Aided by many of the animals who live there, Eleanor, Dax, and Claire make their way through the Togetherwood to find a way home.

Colonel Jonathan: An American Story
$9.99 – $15.99
Colonel Jonathan: An American Story is an unusual work of historical fiction—more history than fiction. A deeply-researched story of a remarkable man and his remarkable family, who lived in remarkable times, and who left an impact that intertwines with the history of America and extends from the eastern ocean to the western one. It is a story worth rescuing from beneath grandma’s back porch, and gluing back together, and being read by everyone who has an even passing interest in America’s beginnings.

House of Jesus: A Novel by R.T. Lawrence
Rated 4.00 out of 5
$17.99
Just before sunset on January 12, 2010, a powerful earthquake hit Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Within a few terrifying minutes, over one-hundred thousand men, women, and children were killed. Thousands more were critically injured, and millions were displaced to rapidly erected tent cities or hospitals across the country. Swiftly came the international response. Health care professionals from every corner of the world dropped their work and descended on Haiti. Phillip Scott was a no-nonsense, suffer-no-fools Seattle trauma surgeon. His response to his university dean’s memo looking for volunteers was, “I’m not interested in charity work. It’s not my thing.” After all, if you build a city of a million on cinder blocks on a fault line you’re asking for trouble, right? But what happens when such a man is immersed in a catastrophic human tragedy? When the victims become human, not statistics?

Nuff Sed: A Novel of Desert Steve
$16.99

Desert. Sun. Sand. No roads or human settlements within fifty miles in any direction. The perfect place to found a town?

That’s what Steve Ragsdale believed. So he and his wife bundled up their four kids in a 1915 Ford Model T, bought a local prospector’s shack and well, and built a fuel station (50-gallon drum), a repair garage, and café. He advertised “Free food on days the sun doesn’t shine” and “No drunks, no dogs—we prefer dogs.” He was the owner, sheriff, rockhound, writer, naturalist, desert guide, and Santa Claus at Christmas. He became one of the local “desert rats” and earned the moniker “Desert Steve.”

Along the way, he became part of history: the Colorado Aqueduct, the construction of the first State and National highways, the invention of prepaid healthcare, General Patton and World War II, the largest iron mine in the United States, flying saucer sightings, murder, and much more. Based on a true story, this is the tale of a quirky, clever, and bold man who pursued a dream, wrote bad poetry, and found ways to survive when many would have perished or packed it in.

Available in paperback, eBook, and audiobook.
