Chimney Dweller describes a journey through the perimenopausal mind of a married woman after her "nest" has emptied. The woman enters into a stream of consciousness of discovery to redefinition and self empowerment based on a coincident event in her life when during her 50th winter, an unknown animal becomes a resident within her family room chimney. As the woman ponders what the creature might be, its condition, and her possible need for intervention, she is inspired to consider parallels in her life versus that of the animal which, in the book, ultimately become a metaphor for the self realization she was seeking.

This book is a "MUST READ" for those who are planning to build a horse barn/farm, those who are just dreaming of some day building one, those on a limited budget, those on a limitless budget (because you will still have to give direction to your planners and architects to make sure you wind up with a functional barn/farm, and the one you wanted), those looking to buy an existing farm, those of you boarding, and anyone who rides or is thinking about riding (because the horse's housing and care will contribute to the horse's overall temperament and ability to perform). The author offers hard facts and information from her real life experience building and operating her own horse farm and her more than twenty years of horse ownership and hunter/jumper show competition. Anecdotal stories and "lessons" (epiphanies) are included to emphasize points to help readers avoid making mistakes in their own barn/farm construction projects.

DuckDumB is a fun and educational, illustrated children's book for children to enjoy looking at, reading, and discussing about a duck who awakens to find that his field of foraging has turned into a pond of dreams. As the reader sees the duck's imagination unfold and soar through a series of illustrations with interspersed rhyming verse, the reader is also shown the day/night cycle, the rain/sun/evaporation process, the basic building blocks of a village, and ultimately how the heights of imagination are eventually forced to return to the realm of reality.

The message of this story is that bullying can occur because your situation has changed--not because of who you are. Maggie, a happy and popular junior high student, was challenged to hold onto her personal self worth when her father lost his job, their family farm was forced into foreclosure, and they became homeless. The family decided to live in a homemade camper on the back of their pickup truck and drive to Florida to find a better life. Stuck in homelessness, with their homemade camper as their only home, and their personal lives deteriorating, Maggie's mother insisted Maggie go back to school. Based on her poor and unstylish appearance, Maggie was singled out and bullied by an upscale classmate and her entourage who found Maggie's appearance intolerable. But once her father found a job, the situation changed so that Maggie's real value was finally allowed to be seen, and the bullying finally ended.
