The Sandman cometh dancing to the beat of rock ‘n’ roll, blasting the turmoil of the Sixties. And where are you? West Texas, of course. Billie Jo Dunstan confronts her past, traveling back to the 1960s through a decade of turbulence and swirling color memories, contemplating life growing up in rural Texas. Tragedy and comedy come alive, preserving the past and a portion of small-town life that will survive beyond super highways and the ratcheting progress of time.

Confessions of a 4th Grade Athlete is an amusing story of a young boy's school days, his involvement in various sports teams and his comical sibling relationship with his sister. Along the way, readers will meet Nate's friends, frenemies, and arch rivals while exploring his little corner of suburbia in a quiet, sports-enthused town. L.T. resides in Wichita Falls, Texas where the weather is hot and sports competition is tough.

Four fanciful creatures meet in an uproarious ride with some kooky characters. This unique blend of rhyme, rhythm, and captivating illustrations helps children of all ages and abilities learn to read. What would you do with a Purple Cow? A fearsome, formidable Fredator, An Eggplant Elephant? OR the amazing iridescent Animeau? Would you walk up and say, “How do you do?”

"Nostalgic, poignant, and entertaining"
"Full of entertainment and humor to enjoy"
