10 Flavors of Potpourri Trailmix

Ten tales grounded in events that really happened, that have been given new life, embroidered a bit around the edges to give them an outcome that, while maybe not filling the bill of living happily ever after (something that really never makes any of us all that happy), creates a warm conclusion that makes the journey worthwhile for both my characters and readers.

Misadventures of Licorice and Black Jack

The Misadventures of Licorice and Black Jack

In the mid-1700s, two mischievous brother cats, Licorice and Black Jack, and their clever companion Pepper, a black-and-white African parrot, sailed the seas aboard the Fair Winds. Known for their unmatched rat-killing skills, they were beloved by their owner, Captain Benjamin Schiff.

But when a rat chase goes awry, the duo accidentally embarks on an unexpected journey far from home. Chaos follows as they cross paths with a mysterious wizard and his bright assistant, leading to several wild adventures.

It is a light-hearted tale of mischief, magic, and high-seas adventure. The Misadventures of Licorice and Black Jack is a journey where trouble and fun are never far behind.

The Funny Family Safari Adventure

Have you ever wondered how animals think and what goes through their minds? Just like humans learn from parents, teachers, and friends, many animal species pick up behaviors and knowledge from their packs and surroundings. Both humans and fellow species experience strong emotions.

This fun educational book for children and parents alike shares insights into how some animals perceive humans, based on a real-life safari adventure the author took years ago. While the human characters have been fictionalized, the animals featured existed and acted just as described. Their thoughts and behaviors conveyed are grounded in factual animal intelligence pulled from open-source media.

Join this illuminating expedition to find out what animals really think of people! The revealing perspectives will entertain readers young and old as we rediscover the wonders of the natural world.
