Quiet People in a Noisy World

Description, Reviews, Sample, Buy:

 

The 72 true stories in Quiet People in a Noisy World tell about my family’s life on remote ranches, on quiet mountains in Oregon and in Colorado, far from the noise and stress of modern life. The stories describe abundant wildlife, work on ranches, adventures in the mountains, existence as a close-knit family, with our own blend of unschooling and home schooling and basic, enjoyable living.

In the Beginning coverIn the Beginning collects 26 surreal short stories. Surreal stories are, in some way, impossible, dreamlike, hallucinatory. By their departure from the possible, surreal stories suggest--- meaning that can't be defined by stories that adhere to what we usually think of as reality.

Stories in this collection vary from funny, to deadly serious, from hopeful, to darkly pessimistic, from existing to define something that cannot otherwise be defined, to existing simply for fun.

Six of the stories in this collection were published in The Sun and in Bellowing Ark.

In the Beginning is available in ebook formats. Immediate download on purchase.

Somewhere in an Oregon Valley:

Description, Reviews, Sample, Buy:

 

Laura, our daughters, Juniper and Amanda, and I worked on a ranch in the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon, with no electricity and no plumbing, no garbage pickup, no television, no radio, no modern conveniences. We pursued education where we lived, and we saw and interacted with abundant wildlife in the area. Choosing deeper meaning than merely material fulfillment worked well for us as is evident to reaSOV Coverders of Somewhere in an Oregon Valley, the book I wrote about our time on the ranch.

I cut hay from the mountain meadows and cut firewood from dead lodgepole pine. We worked and played with a draft horse one fall. We fed cattle hay every year when winter started and snow covered the meadows..

I stopped a lightning-caused fire one year, then spent most of a rainy, dark night on a ridge in the forest.

We had classes, worked projects at the kitchen table, and had many other adventures I write about in this book.

Excerpts from Somewhere in an Oregon Valley have been published as essays in Bellowing Ark, The Christian Science Monitor, The Doula, Home Educator's Family Times, Home Education Magazine, Men's Fitness, Northwest, Summit, The Sun, and other magazines and newspapers. Somewhere in an Oregon Valley is about 92,000 words.
