Book Description
A Little About Ruby A peaceful setting on a treelined lake in northeastern Oklahoma would seem an ideal fishing spot for a guy who just wanted a bit of time away from the pressures of the office. Why, he'd even be willing to take the family along, too. As it turns out, "peaceful" is a relative term in this memoir of life lived in a multi-family setting in a lake community. Funny, uplifting, nostalgic, edgy, these stories take a wry look at the simpler era of the 1980s, but really, when was life ever really simple? All About Mary Ann Born in Dallas, Texas, the author has spent most of her life in Oklahoma. She received a BA from the University of Tulsa and a master's from Oklahoma University. She and her husband Jo Bob raised four children. She currently divides her time between Tulsa and Grand Lake, and stays well entertained being part of the lives of her seven grandchildren who are all, also, confirmed lakers. Word Around the Campfire "When it comes to capturing a sense of place and heart, Mary Ann Hille joins ranks of such writers Flannery O'Connor and Garrison Keillor. "Ruby" is a wonderful quirky uplifting story about the safe havens we all hold sacred." Teresa Miller, Executive Producer, "Writing Out Loud" "The best stories are the pure and simple ones served straight from the heart and soul without a trace of sticky sentiment or purple prose. These are the stories that satisfy and linger like the taste of something too good to forget. And that is what Mary Ann Hille offers in this collection--good honest stories of family and friends who make their own fun, led by a guy that anyone worth a lick would want to spend lots of time with." Michael Wallis, author of "Route 66: The Mother Road" "Mary Ann Hille set out to chronicle the time her family spent in a magical place, Grand Lake o' the Cherokees, as part of a delightful group, the Boat and Bottle Club. She ends up with a universal tale of love, laughter, and the ties that bind us to the special places and people in our lives. This warm and witty memoir is a rare, not-to-be missed treat " Cassandra King, author of "The Sunday Wife"

Worlds where amazing gifts can lead to power and persecution. Perfect for fans of David Eddings, Brandon Sanderson and Douglas Adams. 'Anne McCaffrey, one of the queens of science fiction, knows exactly how to give her public what it wants' - THE TIMES 'Wonderful' -- ***** Reader review 'Uplifting and inspiring' -- ***** Reader review 'Totally gripped me' -- ***** Reader review 'There is only one word for this - AMAZING!' -- ***** Reader review ********************************************************************************** Peter Reidinger was the most brilliant and powerful telepath and telekinetic yet discovered on earth.He was also barely fifteen years old who 'moved' his body through kinesis. When the telepaths of earth suspected a plot to take over Padrugoi, the newly manned space station, they realised they needed his unique gifts to foil the insane plans of Barchenka, the space construction manager, but even they didn't realise how strong were his abilities to 'read' the minds of those about him and move heavy loads over vast distances. As his career progressed, so his talents increased beyond the dreams of those trying to reach out into space. Peter Reidinger was going to be the salvation of man's exploration of the stars. And even as he became the most important man on earth, so his friendship with the tiny orphan girl found in the floods of Bangladesh grew and flourished. For Amariyah too had psychic gifts which no-one, at first, could define. But these 'special' people were constantly at risk - hated and feared by the avaricious, the evil and the ignorant, whose constant ambition was to destroy Peter Reidinger and those like him.
