The Waddodles of Hollow Lake


Book Description

My husband died the day after Christmas, leaving four children, ages two to nine. Anxious how we would manage without him, too young to understand, my children asked, "Why my daddy?" I couldn't find any material to help them, so I decided to write one. While vacationing at my brother's lake cabin, in Michigan's northern woods, we watched a mother raccoon and her babies feeding daily at the stump outside our kitchen window when the idea came to write my stories through the eyes of animals. The first book in The Waddodles of Hollow Lake series, Law of the Woodland, is built on family values, tales of courage, love, hope and trust in each other. The second series book, The Waddodles of Hollow Lake: Calamity on East Bay features more exciting adventures with The Waddodles and their friends, highlighting many episodes with their enemies. Journey to the West Shore fmds the family sad about leaving their den, but excited about their new adventure. On their way, the Waddodles journey through the fragrant Pine Forest, the mysterious Cedar Swamp; the beautiful Grassy Meadow, then onto West Shore where they move into their hollow in a magnificent tree, The Mighty Oak. The happy family looks forward to their first day in their new home, and meeting their interesting new neighbors. In The Mighty Oak, the family adjusts to their new environment and friends; experiencing living next door to the mystifying human Lawrence Family, Hubbard Great-Homed Owl, Rosie Skunk, and Dulcie Porcupine and the nemesis's 'The Beauties', Charmaine Crest Robin and Melody Mom Bluebird. The Waddodles experience lots of activity as they build new relationships. Harriet meets a new beau, Tobias Trottleby. Plans are underway for the Ruffed Grouse Courtship Ceremony and The Birds Beauty Contest.

The Waddodles of Hollow Lake


Book Description

During the Autumn of 1857, in a remote region of what is now Southern Utah, acts of great treachery were committed against innocent people. The loss of life was staggering and unprecedented in American history. Evidence shows the responsible parties to be from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, including the Prophet Brigham Young. This story strives to honor the historical record. Motives were understandable but unjustifiable. They feared persecution. They sought vengeance, retribution and opportunity to build up their empire. Their objective was to strike terror into the hearts of all Americans by striking people who had done them no harm. Though few would describe it so today, the LDS Theocracy of 1857 was a very dangerous Church. Once executed, the crime was so reprehensible even the perpetrators knew they had gone too far. Such an act could only result in an infuriated retaliation... but only if the truth of it came to light. Those complicit must be silenced, even if more crimes would be required. For 150 years the forces of darkness and light have warred over revealing the secrets of this dreadful transgression. After 43 years of researching the evidence, this author presents a new look at the Mountain Meadows Massacre as the events most likely transpired with the actual people who lived at that place at that time. Where the record is unsettled, the author's best approximations have been inserted. A few new theories are advanced, but always with historical basis. It is hoped that this book will elicit corroboration, and challenges, to these theories.




Who in the Zoo Are You?


Book Description

Written for people who feel penned in, themselves, by being what's expected of them to be and not what they should really be free to be, Who in the Zoo are You? contains more than 2,500 jokes and one-liners that offers readers the chance to see what lies behind the bars that we all have to live behind in order to survive in the zoo. From an animal's camouflage to a colourful flower's alluring scent planet Earth, itself, is a liar to us all. So, why wouldn't people exhibit the behaviours that they have to show to get what they want and need, too? What exactly are you a human being? Willidau finds it confining surviving in the zoo, looking at life free on the inside, for himself, and living a look locked up on the outside for others. So, he decided to venture out and see how all the other animals cope with the stresses of living in a virtual prison, themselves. Ken Willidau's philosophy is that if you're going to live a life inside-out you might as well let the outside in so you'll know why you are what you have to be on the outside, yourself, to adapt to it. By the end of the visit you will see that you've always been living in the zoo and you're your own exhibit, for others to view, too. Chapters tour behind-the-scenes at the zoo to give people thoughts on how they can fit in if they restrict themselves to fitting in and nothing else. Among them, 'A Social Butterfly', 'Frisky as a Bunny', 'Bats in the Belfry', 'Lazy as a Sloth', 'Drunk as a Skunk' and 'A Starfish is Born'. The day is spent with Willidau letting loose jokes using wit, dark humour, twisted logic, three secrets he knows about you, plays on words and double entendre humour. Spending your time with Ken will be a barrel of laughs if you're monkey see, monkey do, too. Who in the Zoo are You? is a perfect read for those times when you think you think you're living in a zoo and you'd be better, yourself, if you got to know who your own predators and prey are, now, to survive it.
