This novel is appreciated by adults as well as children for being positive, extremely imaginative, educational and just plaing fun! Eric Tonllud, age 11, and his eight-year-old sister, Libby are vacationing at their grandparents' home in Northern California. In the sun-bleached hills behind the house, they joyfully embark on a series of wonder-filled adventures. It begins with the startling discovery of a golden pony grazing on a mysterious patch of lush, green grass. Befriending the pony, they ride it onto a nearby wooden bridge that disappears into pink fog. They soon find themselves at the edge of a vast cobblestone courtyard filled with huge, colorful lollipops spinning slowly atop tall white stems. In the background stands a royal blue castle flying yellow, pink and sky blue banners from its turrets. However, the castle's most dramatic feature is its two enormous wooden doors! Join Eric and Libby as they venture BEYOND THE GREAT OAK DOORS (a portal to enchanting lands) and return each evening to share with their grandparents the delightful experiences as well as the unusual characters they have encountered, and discuss the lessons they have subtly learned:To communicate well, you must listen intently. Doodleloops are more than squiggles. There is no end to what we can imagine, believe, know and accomplish. There's more to letters than words. Things aren't always what they seem to be. Beauty is more than candy for the eye. People can change. Food can be amazing! And more...

Timbo's Tale
This tale is based on a true story about Timbo and Kura, the two elephants that resided at the Shambala animal sanctuary. It is Timbo's tender, loving rendition of what took place when his mate, Kura, unexpectedly died. As Timbo relates his enlightening experiences, the story shifts dimensions. It is an uplifting story with a message of comfort and peace; an enchanting tale that looks at "life" and "death" from an unusual perspective. It has been used to express condolences; to help ease the terminally ill through what may be a difficult period; by grandparents with grandchildren to let them know that they can still be close (that everything will be all right) after they die; and simply as a wonder-filled tale to share with a loved one. The fact that it is accompanied by a CD allows members of a family to enjoy it simultaneously or calmly absorb it alone with a minimum of effort.
$9.95, 42 pages, semi-hard back, contains CD (see amazon.com for reviews)

Looking at Life Through My Left Ear
The grand things we experience are often referred to as thrills. But it’s the little things, the frills, that decorate life and make it sing.
In Looking At Life Through My Left Ear, Marc Frederic brings little things to our attention. Sometimes he shows appreciation for them alone. At others, he associates those little things with big ones. There’s no limit to where he finds them – the doctor’s office, car wash, looking at a sunset, even in different dimensions.
His presentations are short, yet delightfully filling. They’re placed in the order they were written. You’ll find that Marc’s imagination has colorfully enhanced his outlook for decades.
You may also roam the twists and turns of his mind through a series of creative fiction found in the last section of the book. The jolts and beauty are akin to traveling through a kaleidoscope.

Touch of Class
This book is completely different.
Whether writing for children or fun-loving adults, I have always chosen my subject matter. Not in this case. This book is the result of assignments I received as a member of a series of Creative Writing classes. Each assignment was a surprise.
The challenge of completing those assignments was exciting, often transporting me to uncharted territory.
I’ve always made it back and found the journey to be more than worthwhile. It feeds my soul.
This book is a selection of the stories my effort generated. Come share my thoughts. Some may amuse you. Some may make you think.
And some may even spark your own journey to the farthest regions of your imagination.
