Book excerpt: Pinky, A Memoir of WWII, is the first of four volumes about a young man who couldn't wait to join the U. S. Navy and go to the Pacific. In this volume T. J. Thiggens is sixteen when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. He agrees with his mother to complete the school year 1942-1943 if she will sign his enlistment papers. He goes through boot camp at Farragut, Idaho, and is transferred to Shoemaker, California, to await orders to ship overseas. On his eighteenth birthday he boards the SS Eugene Skinner for the South Pacific; and after 23 days he arrived in New Caledonia. There he attends a Fleet Radio School, works for a time at the COMSOPAC Service Squadron; and, after almost a year on this island, he finally gets a transfer to a wooden subchaser, which is headed north into the War Zone. There are five subchasers in Noumea Harbor being converted to LCC's (landing craft, communications); and because they each have a Walt Disney cartoon character painted on their bridges, they are nicknamed "MacArthur's Donald Duck Navy". This part of the story about five wooden subchasers ends just as T. J. becomes the 'second' radio on the USS SC-995.

Book excerpt: How often have you thought you might like to chuck it all in, leave the steaming metropolis and its noise and dirt behind and make for pastures new, to begin your life again? We often talk about it but people rarely do it. Jackie Moffat is one of those who did. In 1982 she and her family - armed with a bucketload of optimism, stout boots and a highly developed sense of the ridiculous - upped sticks from London (where she'd lived all her life) and went North, to Cumbria. Their destination was the Eden Valley, and a small stock-rearing and dairy farm called Rowfoot, and there they have spent the past twenty years getting to grips with the practice of running a working farm, keeping sheep, cattle, pigs and horses, becoming part of the (often eccentric) community, coping with the ups and downs (Foot and Mouth devastated them) of farming life. For the past ten years, the author's written a regular column for the Cumbria and Lake District Life magazine, and it was this that inspired her to write about her life in rural England and the trials, tribulations and pleasures of running a farm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 300 stories of children and critters here on Whitebriar Farms could not be contained in one book, but is a "book set". There is no rhyme or reason to the "numbering", so don't think I missed anything, but even with mismatched numbers on chapters, realize they are in chronical order, as the experience came along. God has blessed me many times with a wonderful family and the ability to show people thru words, the wonderful life that can be had on a farm with animals and children. - Carole Lokan Moore, aka, The Farmer's Daughter

Book excerpt: THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER: “Beautifully told.”—CNN • “A remarkable story...worth retelling and celebrating.”—USA Today • “Oh, it’s a good one!”—Fox News A “beautiful story of a brotherhood between enemies” emerges from the horrors of World War II in this New York Times bestseller by the author of Devotion, now a Major Motion Picture. December, 1943: A badly damaged American bomber struggles to fly over wartime Germany. At the controls is twenty-one-year-old Second Lieutenant Charlie Brown. Half his crew lay wounded or dead on this, their first mission. Suddenly, a Messerschmitt fighter pulls up on the bomber’s tail. The pilot is German ace Franz Stigler—and he can destroy the young American crew with the squeeze of a trigger... What happened next would defy imagination and later be called “the most incredible encounter between enemies in World War II.” The U.S. 8th Air Force would later classify what happened between them as “top secret.” It was an act that Franz could never mention for fear of facing a firing squad. It was the encounter that would haunt both Charlie and Franz for forty years until, as old men, they would search the world for each other, a last mission that could change their lives forever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work of creative nonfiction, author Kate Benz provides an intimate look at the present-day residents of Courtland, Kansas (population 285), a town whose economy depends almost entirely on agriculture. Through charming, first-person accounts, Nothing but the Dirt: Stories from an American Farm Town tells the whole story of life in Courtland, bucking the “Rural America is dying” narrative that so often proliferates national headlines about small-town USA. Throughout the book, Benz paints a picture of community that is unwilling to give up on each other. Macro-level issues such as rising tariffs, operation costs versus sinking commodity prices, and infusions of federal farm subsidies affect the locals’ daily livelihood, but it’s their love of their community that continues their collective efforts to keep Main Street open for business and Courtland on the map. These are the stories from one corner of rural America, told through the people who live there: the fourth-generation farmers, the young professionals, the transplants, the small business owners (many of whom are women)—a community that is nuclear, blended, straight, gay, red, blue, religious, and anything but. Young people who grew up in Courtland are moving back to raise their kids there, but instead of farming, they are opening breweries, boutiques, marketing agencies, or hair salons. They love rural life but want a new way to define it. Courtland is a community that is unwaveringly determined to keep their corner of rural America not only alive but thriving, refusing to let challenges define or deter them. Instead, they continuously find creative ways to overcome, adapt, improve, and move forward.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beautiful Litchfield County, Connecticut in the 1960’s. A rural, small New England town where Ellen and her teenage son, Mark are adjusting to life after the untimely death of her beloved husband and Mark’s father, John Rutledge. Doc Elliott is a country veterinarian and old friend of Mark’s parents whose concern, loyalty and love for them is evident from the beginning. This is a good read for all whose four legged friends are an integral part of their lives. The many touching and often amusing interactions of animals with humans are intelligently and compassionately told. Doc Elliott has a significant impact on the lives of his animal patients, their human companions and most importantly Ellen’s and Mark’s lives. The angst and tragedy swirling around them only solidifies their strength and faith in each other. Their inherent goodness appears naïve in contrast to the bold faced cruelty and evilness of Frank Biddle. Into the quiet lives of this group of friends and family he appears. A calculating man who has come seeking revenge and retribution. The growing sinister presence of a man who has learned to carefully script his speech and actions to avoid causing suspicion, culminates in a spiraling tension of action and nerves.

Book excerpt: This story is set in the Midwest, somewhere northwest of the Twin Cities, in fictional Heartland. A young farm boy, George Johnson, proves he is no ordinary boy. In his first adventure, he teams up with a girl to save a drowning boy. He is taken by her, but they are worlds apart. Will she become part of his life? George enlists in the military. As a Marine, he becomes one of the best; he is smart, strong, daring, and oblivious to pain. He trains as a medic in addition to becoming a highly skilled sniper. It is this skill—and a sense of honor—that causes George to unknowingly assist the CIA in Vietnam on a difficult task, which earns him the gratitude (and some financial reward) of a top CIA operative. Highly decorated, George is subsequently awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. George is seriously wounded and experiences death—an ethereal experience. Upon discharge, he returns to his father’s farm in Heartland to heal and get back to living his life. George is the all-American boy. Christmas takes center stage as George demonstrates the true meaning of Christmas, spreading the Christmas spirit to his family, guests, and community. George does meet his teenage love interest, Emily, and a happy and sad relationship begins. It looks like George and Emily are okay, but Emily lands a prestigious job traveling abroad. She has realized her lifelong dream, and George cannot be part of it. Working this out entails a bit of drama. Are there wedding bells in their future?
