The ominous steel gray clouds stacked the late afternoon sky signaling the pending snowstorm. Klee Cato, a Fairhaven Central school teacher, maneuvered her 1972 Chevy into the parking lot, intending to purchase some groceries in case the snowstorm ushered in a big dumping. Once she placed the shift gear into park, she was stunned at the sight before her as she peered over the car's hood. That fateful encounter ignited a personal journey of powerful lessons for Klee, her students, and those who came into her life. The novel, "Forever Footprints," which is based on a true dog rescue, details how her experiences would lead her from failure to triumph, passion to heartache, and the memory of two loves that would forever endure.

Aussie Yarns: some serious, some funny, and some philosophical. Most are about down-to-earth country folk. Some, like ‘Rusty’ and ‘A Farmer’s Wife’ have a lesson in them. Others are even a bit romantic, for example, ‘Blind Love’ and ‘Best Friends’. In a number of cases, the story is inspired by a poem already written, and in other cases, one is written specially, but in any case, all are accompanied by a poem or two and an explanation as to how it all came about. Primarily these yarns were written with an Australian readership in mind, most of whom would understand and appreciate the slang words and phrases used, particularly by unsophisticated bushies. However, I imagine some of the terms may leave non-Australians a bit perplexed. Stick with it, and by the time you’ve read Witness for the Defence you will have probably worked out what a “sheila’ is, along with all the other words and expressions that are uniquely Australian country in origin. Enjoy the adventures of the 110 characters who play some role in these yarns.

Steady Stream of Consciousness is a collection of poems that encompasses the perspective of the author as she has experienced the world. From sitting in a small town café inspired by the genuine interaction of patrons to horrific life experiences to where she is now in her journey of life. This book was developed over the course of a lifetime. Poems that span the last twenty plus years and are only a hint at the words written in that time. Poetry that has been a means to express what has been experienced, feelings, thoughts, deep-rooted emotions, etc. often sparked by inspired perspective. There is no set format other than what the words and emotions of the poem direct. The poems where the depths of the words lie, there is the soul of the author, the perspective of the world that surrounds her. Allow your mind to take you where it may as you read each poem.
