In A FLIGHT OF FANCY you ́ll discover that trees do have needs and feelings, and if you listen really closely you might hear them communicating in the wind. Learn what happens when trees, a major element of nature, gives the town or Arbordon the slip. Follow the friction they create in the desert. Discover the danger they create in the water. See how a reluctant Weeping Willow and two determined eleven-year olds, haunted by a dream, go on a harrowing adventure searching for the lost trees. A FLIGHT OF FANCY lies between a riff on Cyndi Lauper ́s [TREES] JUST WANNA HAVE FU-UN and an homage to Joyce Kilmer ́s classic poem TREES. It ́s a humorous, thought provoking, fantasy that exceeds the fun and adventure of the BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER. This special book is sure to captivate young minds and will help them make the important connection between their lives and the lives of trees.

Through the mysteries and myths of Christmas and Easter, families balance the values of receiving and giving, of growth and sacrifice. Each aspect of the Santa myth, from his slide down a chimney to his big red suit, plays a part in a child's imagination. Through their offerings of milk and cookies and their letter writing, children bring their relationship to Santa into developing attitudes toward giving and receiving gifts. The Easter Bunny story, with its ritual egg hunt and baskets of brightly colored candy, is explored in terms of life and its possibility of growth. In these examples, Clark shows how children play an active role in constructing family rituals and cultural reality, since their willingness to make the stories their own helps to renew the traditions.

Later in life, Debbie realized she had unfulfilled hopes and dreams God placed in her heart when she was young. She knew God wanted her to share with children of all ages that it's never too late to dream. So she got together with her husband, grown-up children, and oldest grandson to come up with this little book of hopes and dreams. It is her desire for children who read it to know God has so much more in store for them than an ordinary life. For grown-ups who read it, she hopes it will bring them back to dreaming again...Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen. (Ephesians 3:20 - 21)

The third novel starring Montana's fly fisherman-cum-detective Sean Stranahan, for fans of C. J. Box and Craig Johnson Wolves howl as a riderless horse returns at sunset to the Culpepper Dude Ranch in the Madison Valley. The missing woman, Nanika Martinelli, is better known as the Fly Fishing Venus, a red-haired river guide who lures clients the way dry flies draw trout. As Sheriff Martha Ettinger follows hoof tracks in the snow, she finds one of the men who has fallen under the temptress’s spell impaled on the antler tine of a giant bull elk, a kill that’s been claimed by a wolf pack. An accident? If not, is the killer human or animal? With painter, fly fisherman, and sometimes private detective Sean Stranahan’s help, Ettinger will follow clues that point to an animal rights group called the Clan of the Three-Clawed Wolf and to their svengali master, whose eyes blaze with pagan fire. In their most dangerous adventure yet, Stranahan and Ettinger find themselves in the crossfire of wolf lovers, wolf haters, and a sister bent on revenge, and on the trail of an alpha male gone terribly wrong.
