Beneath the Surface

Karen Lovett

Evergreen scented air lifts Carla Summers' spirits as she rides her horse through Northwest Tree Farm land near her small ranch.

He continues his patrol, his thoughts on Carla, and discovers a car beneath the surface of a nearby pond. In the aftermath of a crime that involves a double-homicide, Jason and Carla meet again, and grow close for a time, until she ignores his calls. She avoids facing him until a natural disaster leaves him fighting for his life. read more

Blue Deer: Four generations of poetry, 1945-2010

Colleen Slater

Blue Deer – Four Generations of Poetry covers a span of 65 years. The first poem, which provides the book title, was penned in 1945 by the author’s father in his native Scots dialect. Author Colleen Slater composed her first poem at age seven. She considers herself more rhymer than poet, although more free verse has been published than rhymed pieces, and one is sandblasted into a walkway in a public park. This book began as a way for the author to share her work with her family, and expanded to include pieces by other family members. read more
