Wolves, once revered and feared, now roam the desolate lands, their fierce and primal nature unchanged even in the face of nuclear fallout. These creatures, adapted to the harsh reality of a world scarred by radiation, are both a reminder of the wild beauty that once was and the savage struggle that now is. The fallout has created a world where the rules of nature have shifted.

Through changing points of view, this story draws richly from Native American myths and legends, as Alex and her family, Skah and his friends, and fifteen-year-old, Charlie, struggle to survive in a changed landscape.

The survivors are plagued by strange, vibrant dreams infused with ancient signs and whispered tales of the ancestors. But are these visions warning the survivors of yet another catastrophe, or should they forge ahead searching for others in this new, desolate landscape? 

The old world, with its gleaming cities and technological marvels, ended in destruction. Alex and her family must weigh the wisdom of reconstructing what was lost against the possibilities of forging new ways of living, more harmonious with the earth. Soon, they begin to understand that rebuilding is not merely about restoring the physical structures but about nurturing the bonds between people and the land. All they want is a safe place, but the predator wolves are everywhere.

 Harper is an adorable dachshund puppy. This story follows her first experiences adjusting to a new home, family, and companion, illustrating the dual nature of life’s experiences, which include both joy and sorrow. This story addresses the unexpected loss of a pet companion, emphasizing that optimism and happiness can endure even in challenging times. Based on true events, this gentle tale is intended for parents to read with their children, aiding in the discussion of the sensitive subject of pet loss. 

It’s not ticking, because it’s dead. 

At first, nothing seems very different about the antique clock Merrill’s grandfather brings home to rebuild and repair, but then it chimes loudly one night without stopping. When Merrill investigates the phenomena, she’s hurdled from her safe, predictable world into a magical place, simply called The Clock World. She learns she is a Time Maiden, the only one who can fix a strange clock hanging in the sky, and she can’t go home until she does. Guided by the ramblings of her clever cat, Crook, Merrill sets off on a journey to discover how to put things right. 

New Edition

When Alex is fifteen, her entire life changes. At least, she knows it changed, but she remembers very little of the time before her accident. Even the strange, dying world surrounding her breathes little life into her memories. Everything just feels wrong, especially the radiation that covers the earth, infiltrates the sea and sky, and burns across a red, polluted horizon. Wolves prosper in a plagued world on the brink of becoming an icy, desolate wasteland. Alex has secrets. It's just difficult piecing them together. Her connection with wolves is like magic. She might almost be happy in her new home filled with strangers if she wasn't pursued by a mysterious and all-powerful enemy that just might be a figment of her imagination. Her nightmares suggest otherwise. Alex has choices to make before her reality spins out of control and risks everything to uncover the truth about her past. What she learns might just be enough to save the world as the human population dwindles and the wolves fight for control.
