Stardust and Scar Tissue
Through the pandemic, political turmoil, and economic and spiritual strife, Mick Scott, editorial page editor of the Winston-Salem Journal, worked to keep hope alive among the regular readers of his opinion column. Appealing to their natural kindness as well as intellect, reason, and conscience, he encouraged them to resist fear and cruelty, reject despair, respond to challenges with compassion, and to take refuge in the knowledge that better days were ahead. Whether traveling North Carolina to find hidden cultural gems or sitting in nature with his beloved wild companions, he inspired readers not to endure, but to thrive. The ideas Mick shared in these short (sometimes humorous) essays are as reliable and meaningful today as they were when written. Sit back and rest. Share a conversation with friends. We still have a ways to go, but together, we will get there.

Me and Orson
This manuscript deals with that period in my life I commonly refer to as my prepubescent period. If it were not for my cousin, Orson, this period in my life would have been next to impossible. Maybe not so harsh, let's say more trips to the fishpond, and most definitely an increase in the number of appearances before the inquisitions. Orson and I were most fortunate to experience this milestone in life before man landed on the moon, before cellphones, and most of all a time when mother said go play outside, which translated to "It's 8 a.m. Don't come back till noon." Your assumption is correct. This left two gentlemen a lot of time and space.Here is what greeted us each morning. From our front yards, we could see the snow-capped sierras. Following your line of sight was a fully functioning log mill with a large pond feed by a flume. From this point on was a mixture of pastureland and open agricultural land. Oh, yes, a canal full of water year-round. To find some activity to fill the day only required the willingness to bask in the glory of the right choice or the willingness to accept the full fury of a displeased mother.

Go beyond the formulas and charts of conventional marriage advice as you dig deep into your one-of-a-kind relationship. In this book written for actual married humans by an actual married human, Dustin shares: Why laughter in your marriage is essential--even in the hard timesWhy in marriage, unlike on Southwest, your baggage does not fly freeAn approach to problem-solving (we're talking money, kids, and in-laws) that brings you closerWhy you should never put Scattergories on your wedding registry Praise for How to Be Married (to Melissa): "How to Be Married (to Melissa) feels like you're having a conversation with a guy who has legitimate experience and expertise in my favorite things: faith, marriage, and comedy. In a culture full of 'fake it till you make it' people, Dustin is the real deal when it comes to all three categories."--Trey Kennedy, comedian
Son of a Pun

I fact, her first book is shortly being published in French. She has also moved into social media, and is part of a Cocker Spaniel Facebook group, as well as having her own Instagram account.

Fountain of Inspiration
Your lips burn my flesh like the fierce and sweltering inferno of hellEnraged as is a waterfall cascading into an infinite wellAnd the slivering touch of your tongue flows like spewing lava invading every strand, every cellWhere the dam can't hold the turbulent watersThus, rupturing and releasing with collateral damage, where nothing mattersYour hands roam the thriving fields that carry a scent of freshly blooming exotic flowersThat gently rests upon the rising mountainsThe look in your eyes pierces my soulLike the deadly venomous sting of a scorpion that scavenges in the desertAnd I quiver with an agonizing pleasure full moanUnlike the prairie, the valley is mysterious and alluring way down belowWith no fear at all, you will never get lost; you know where to goYour fangs puncture my veins, and with just cause, I lose all of my sensesWith my razor-sharp talons, I tattoo your back, trying to hold on, but I am helplessMy lungs collapse, and I feel faint, completely breathlessUnhinged as I transport through each of the realms, Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire, with an undying desireLike a tornado and an earthquake colliding, repositioning all of the elementsThat gravity keeps together, but that disrupts the patterns of the unpredictable weatherThe shaking of the ground beneath my feetA magnetic pull that is stronger than anything I've ever seen.
The Detective in the Dooryard
Tim Cotton has been a police officer for more than thirty years. The writer in him has always been drawn to the stories of the people he has met along the way. Dealing with the standard issue ne'er-do-wells as a patrol officer, homicide detective, polygraph examiner, and later as the lieutenant in charge of the criminal investigation division certainly provides an interesting backdrop--but more often he writes about the regular folks he encounters, people who need his help, or those who just want to share a joke or even a sad story.The Detective in the Dooryard is composed of stories about the people, places, and things of Maine. There are sad stories, big events, and even the very mundane, all told from the perspective of a seasoned police office and in the wry voice of a lifelong Mainer. Many of the stories will leave you chuckling, some will invariably bring tears to your eyes, but all will leave you with a profound sense of hope and positivity.

A Thousand Lives
With an astounding sense of timing, Annabel Townsend signed a lease on a new bookstore venture, one week before the Covid-19 pandemic was declared. Not to be deterred by a mere global crisis, she decided that lockdowns were the perfect opportunity to get people reading. With the world growing ever more strange around it, the fledgling business began providing an essential form of escapism and solace in troubled times-books. Faced with nightmare landladies, temperature extremes, conspiracy theorists, and delivering books via bicycle, it soon became clear that Covid-19 was the least challenging part of operating the business.Framed by different works of fiction, these essays tell the stories of the bookstore, of Saskatchewan, and of the community of customers, writers, booksellers, and booklovers that surrounded the business during the extraordinary circumstances of the Covid-19 crisis. A Thousand Lives is part-memoir, part-comedy and all true-because truth is always stranger than fiction.
