One reader’s account of the story is: “An ample supply of adventure and hilarity in an entertaining trip across our land featuring a magnificent landscape of characters that comprise America.” The tale involves a cash-starved farmer who attempts to supplement his income by delivery driving motor homes from factory to dealers through the nation and Canada. His intentions are in constant battle between his bad self and good, in opposition from his wife and friends, and in conflict with his farming obligations. Themes cover how this “scaredy-cat wimp” strangely obtains the position, driving up mountains twice unintentionally, trouble and woe when making deliveries to various destinations, weather problems, kidnapping, mechanical breakdowns, a drivers room where arguments flow fast and loose, advice on how to overcome sleepiness while driving, furrowing little pigs while the wife was having a baby, trips to Canada that went sour, ridiculous advice given to motor home drivers, churches that should not have been attended, as well as silly descriptions of motor homes, difficulties following employer’s demands, and facing dealers with impossible expectations. This is a fast-paced tale of travel, adventure, humor, farming, motor homes, and weird characters. A surprise ending waits!

Denise, a middle-aged idealist, cashes her last $400 paycheck and drives south with her two Chihuahuas in search of a summer job that will renew her weary spirit. As she drives through a national park in Northern California, Denise stumbles upon a job as a fast-fry cook at Hacienda RV Park and seizes the promising opportunity. Unfortunately, her job behind the grill turns out to be more complicated than flipping burgers and transforms her working vacation into a trip comparable to the psych ward. As she falls deeper into the tangled web created by her dysfunctional, dangerous, and inept coworkers, Denise struggles to make this working vacation a positive time in her life and, at the least, come out of it alive. Reading GRILL! takes you to a place you never want to go; and a job that no one should ever have to endure. At the same time, there will be those of you who will completely identify with Denise, the place, and the job; those who have also been grilled to a crisp in a whacked-out environment.

She owned and operated a custom picture framing shop in Carmel Valley for thirteen years and currently resides in the high desert of southern California with her parents, tending to their daily needs and health concerns.

The State of Alaska is endlessly in the national news--whether the news be political, adventurous, or simply a report on odd occurrences (of which our state seems to have an abundance). Director of the Tours is an attempt by the author to report on both humorous and touching stories relating to the more than one million visitors whom choose to visit Alaska aboard cruise ships each summer. Thirty-five stories concern the author’s interactions in unique situations during his ten years of leading guests on mostly five and six day land tours. These tours stretch from Seward, in South Central Alaska to the Alaska interior city of Fairbanks. Another 11 stories relate to events occurring in winter, when we tour directors are encouraged to jump on board any cruise ship (space available), anywhere in the world—and get a feel for what our guests get to experience on these luxury liners. The author hopes you will enjoy these stories.

This author skillfully introduces you to the captivating, wide-ranging experiences of his family in this nontraditional saga. Beginning with the hilarious misadventures of his children, he provides spellbinding insights into the antics of individuals in his family. You'll learn about a Fruit Loop cannon, the tooth fairy that gave rise to a mummy, a latrine queen, a hand that would fit through a ring, a chain sparking off into the distance, and too many other adventures to cover in this short paragraph. He even brings to life an unforgettable family dog, Julio, who gave his family a lesson on how to live. In stories about himself, you'll laugh at his effort to buy a mink coat, his football fan encounter, an organ concert at Boys Town, wiggling wieners, and other extraordinary occurrences. You'll ride with him on an aerobatic jet ride, be mesmerized by unforgettable visions from his past, and be fascinated by what he did after returning from a trip to Corregidor Island in the Philippines. The recounting of his father's exposure to snipers, General Patton, buzz bombs, and more during WWII will transport you back to a time when young men shipped off to Europe, not knowing if they'd ever return to their homes. No matter your age, this book will leave you wondering what adventures await in your future because there are no limits to the possibilities.
