      It is 1899. A man has been shot. His senseless death is of as little concern to us as was his equally irrelevant life. It is the shooter to whom we must turn our attention. More specifically, to the whys that led to that desperate act. But we speak now of the future, the same future which will see the rise to national prominence of the Larkin manufacturing Company and its bringing Frank Lloyd Wright to Buffalo to design not only its headquarters but the homes of many of the company's officials. Enter a world of society, music, spiritualism, the Pan American Exposition, electricty, the automobile (after the popularity of the bicycle), and the assassination of not one but two Presidents. Tragic deaths, hopeless loves, even the possibility of repressed memories of unbearable pain and horror. Fact and fiction intertwine as HRFB follows the lives and loves of two very different women over four decades as they struggle to find their place and themselves in one of the most prosperous and fastest growing cities in America. Margaret Trussler and Lizzie Knapp are strangers with seemingly nothing in common as their stories begin in 1875 . . .

      From the beginning of recorded time Man's big question has How can I lived with this Woman the gods have given me? And Woman's question matches How to live with this Man? Finding no suitable answer they turned to the gods and said "explain this difficult, sometimes rewarding, sometimes punishing relationship, this...this...this marriage. So the Marriage Myth was born, for when the gods and doggesses were brought into the question it became a three way discussion. Man and Woman lived together under this ever present cloud of gods and goddesses who were always active, sometimes enabling, sometimes interfering in the Marriage. THE MARRIAGE MYTH is not a manual on how to succeed at marriage. It is not a compendium of all the mythological takes in the world. It is a re-telling of twenty four of the best myths from the Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Teutonic, Hebtraic and Christian traditions, all of them Man's attempt to understand and solve the Man/Woman/God Marriage. From the Trojan War for love of Helen to the battle of Christ for His Bride, the Church, the story is told here in language the modern reader will understandl. Now let the Myth begin!

      THE MOONSHINERS is an Easterday tale of high adventure, of dire threat to the lives of two little boys, Alfie and Junior, lost in the vast Burl Green Woods, and the dramatic rescue which reunites them with their anxious family. It is a story full of both villains and heroes. The moonshiners are the villains; Papa and Mister Charles and Willie are heroes. Sandy, the mostly collie dog, is the greatest hero of them all. Mama and Cliff and Miss Maggie are heroic too, for they wait at home, hanging between hope and despair. And Gran'ma who prays for her babies. And the Sheriff. Surely there has never been another like him, and yet he is the classic prototype of THE LAW. Some of these characters are real people from the author's childhood. There is no need to shield them from their rightful place in the sun by using fictional names for them. Others are fictional characters created for the purpose of making the tale more interesting. Even they are treated as well as they deserve.

      Book 1 of 3. Spirit Dupriest (Grandnu) never imagined that her life would take this route. She battles internally daily about her life choices. Her story starts at the end of a family era of lies, misconceptions and mystery. An enriching tale of love, illness, forgiveness and secrecy.
