Nickels and Dimes


Book Description

These tales are true stories about American missionaries and British colonists, who were able to inspire the people in northeastern India with Anglo-American educational ideals and ideas. This is not a history in the true sense of the term but is as authentic as an historical account. This is not a collection of biographies but is as revealing. The author has kept the historical and biographical events in tact without in any way twisting the events or the characters of the historic personalities. This is not a fiction but the author has injected some fictional elements to give a better understanding of the time, the people, and the strength of the souls that he is trying to reveal.

Turtle Croakies (Enchanting Inquiries, Book 10)


Book Description

A frog, a cat, and a hobgoblin walk into a bar…in the Jurassic period. Nope…not kidding. Okay, maybe it wasn’t really a bar. But it was definitely the local drinking establishment. For dinosaurs… My old mentor, Alice Parker is back, and she’s brought a problem with her. A big one. One that’s already testing the sprite’s ability to keep it in lettuce and strawberries. It turns out that Alice has been on the run for a minute, trying to protect a magical tortoise from a dangerous sorceress who wants it for herself. You might be wondering why anybody would want to steal a tortoise. Well, if you had the chance to travel through time at the push of a button, or rather the press of a turtle’s shell, would you take it? Yeah, me neither. I have enough trouble dealing with this time and world… But clearly, we aren’t all diabolical magic users bent on our own empowerment. I mean, the possibilities for evil are unending if one can time-hop at will. Luckily, I have two cats, two frogs, and a hobgoblin to help me stave off the latest crisis. The only question is…what am I going to do with a former KoA who was as ineffectual at the Keeper’s job as the goddess’s torn pantyhose are at holding water. The only thing she’d been worse at was training me! And, more importantly, now that she’s here…how am I going to get rid of her? Holy turtle trousers, this Keeper gig gets more challenging by the day…or the millennia!
