Scott In A Bug - Softcover
''a massive mack truck lunged around the curve past my frozen body. A blast of hot air whistled past my face as it blew and snorted...''Scott''s mouth fills with basketballs when he tries to talk with the kids in his school, except for his best friend, the Moogle. The summer before Scott enters eighth grade, his dad contracts for summer work high in the Rocky Mountains. Scott and his brother and parents, plus their dog Puttputt and cat, Fernandez, spend the summer in a century old log cabin without modern amenities, but with plenty of mice. They learn to cope without the basic stuff they have always taken for granted, like running water and electricity, as well as the contemporary fun stuff.Scott hikes on the mountain and find rabbits and coyotes and an occasional moose. He compares his life with life on a modern ranch with his new friend, the daughter of their rancher landlord. Fred and Scott run around green cow pies during a real ranch round-up, and almost learn to ride horseback.Forced to rely on his own strengths and smarts over the weeks of summer, through dangerous encounters with wildlife and fire and a trouble-making car, Scott discovers that he can survive without his basketball mouth. He also uncovers what it is that makes trouble-mouth Fred bearable as a brother.

About the Author:
My life as a real writer began when my career deposited me in adult education. Workshops had to be designed and taught to all ages; ages that eventually slipped and slid down into middle school. The kids'''' stories were way too much fun, and so it was that I retired from my day job to write stories all day, and occasionally, all night. Scott In A Bug is my first piece to be published in the children''''s genre. I have written science fiction novels for middle school age, as well as a number of picture books and poems.
