Book Description
Vol. 1 - The Snow Goose and Other Tales: When the enemy is at your door, you aren't always able to fight or flight. Sometimes the best scenario may be to regroup. How can one young girl do that though, with a disappointment from one of two remaining relatives and the enemy in a bed upstairs? The reader may wonder what a woman without other adults and a houseful of children can do during the civil war - which was NOT civil - and how she will ward off mercenary soldiers to protect them all. Well as you meet Nancy, you will see her successes, but help will come from a most unusual rescue she has made! How much is too much? Eileen had prayed a lot lately but nothing had changed. Her husband was gone with the troops - not heard from for almost two years, and she was left with a very small son and twin nursing babies! All her prayers hadn't seemed to be answered - really NONE of them had. So how could she possibly pick 300 trees of apples and plant acres and acres of crops? ELLEN MURPHY, AUTHOR "In A Nutshell" After retiring as Commissioner of the Revenue for Frederic Country, VA, Ellen Murphy has found a new career as an author. After the trauma of her husband passing, Ellen soon began spending more time devoted to her writing. She loves the historical research that goes into all her stories and enjoys hearing from her readers. Ellen has two beautiful and smart daughters - Suzanne and Katherine, and has been blessed with six grandchildren.

Book Description
A mega-sarcastic collection of fairy tale recaps (for adults), along with hilarious fake news stories and headlines involving fairy tale characters.

From the first page, you'll constantly be laughing your glass off. Uh, glass slippers off, that is.
