"Stories for Gramp's Little Friends," is a book of love containing
twenty-six short stories. They were written for and read to his
grandchildren, which gave enjoyment to him and them.
Some of the ideas for the stories came from the different
subjects of Mrs. Finch's kindergarten class in rural Arkansas. The
author's stories promote good manners, love, laughter, sharing,
safety, and especially friendship. The stories are enjoyable
reading for all ages.
Beyond our wildest imaginations, other worlds and dimensions
exist that are vastly different than ours. These worlds beyond both
fascinate and frighten us, but more importantly, they have the
potential to bring a great good we never could have envisioned.
In this intriguing collection of stories that explores the
ramifications of encounters with beings from the beyond, the
appearance of a bewildering and elusive visitor to an
eleven-year-old resident brings an unusual gift that turns his
entire town inside out. Two young siblings-whose parents have just
left them for a year with their callous aunt and uncle-soon
discover they have an angry ghost to contend with as well. As a
family moves into a strange house, they find the house a lot
stranger than they bargained for. When a boy finds his school
filled with the ghosts of fellow students and teachers, he is
mystified when he sees these same people still alive in the
flesh.
"From Beyond to Here" is a compilation of stories for young fans
of the supernatural sure to entertain and raise questions about
intriguing parallel worlds.

Have you ever wondered what happens to your socks when they
disappear in the dryer, why some paths one takes in life are
difficultly reversible, if short can be sweet, why simplicity is
virtuous, why it's OK to let your actions speak for themselves, why
so many obstacles must be overcome before absconding for a weekend,
if it's OK to be different, why humility has its hmmph, why one
must often do for themselves in order to do something right, or why
it's OK to say "No" in order to remain focused on what's important?
These and other very important questions, conundrums and quandaries
are delved in Whim, Woe And Wonder (Tales For The Ever Present
Child).
