The year was 1929: the year the Great Depression began. Families across the nation struggled to survive, and Christmas was going to be the worst emotional crisis anyone had ever seen at that time.
 

Maddie had no choice but to trust the storefront Santa to get her letter to the North Pole.
 

Would he be able to keep his promise to get it to the real Santa in time?
 

Would the Cherry Mash candy stuck in his beard become a sign of something more?

Cool Hush: Memoirs is a true story about a shy skinny young girl growing up in a small southern town in the 1960s and 70s. She is trapped in a vicious cycle of patriarchal abuse and oppression by her KKK father and others before she discovers her friends, the eagle and the goddess, who strengthen her voice and lend her courage to go to war against the evil cool hush. 

This is a must-read for anyone concerned with women's empowerment and women's voices!

Note: This book contains violent scenes of child abuse within a highly dysfunctional family.

***

"Books that discuss the specifics of this survival and growth process are relatively rare. Rain Story's memories create a positive blueprint that surveys better choices and roads towards healing, providing example for others who would survive toxic patriarchal abuses, whether at home or in society.

Cool Hush should be in any collection strong in women's psychological self-inspection and survival tactics."

Guns & God: Lines in the Sand is an exciting tale involving murder, conspiracy, and infidelities that jolt a community as two neighboring families collide over political ideas about gun laws. While one family tries to usher in stricter legislation, the other struggles against it in order to expand its empire of gun sales from rural Arkansas. However, when patriarch Luke “Fuzzy” Rose learns that his brother, Searcy, will stop at nothing to overtake the family business, all hell breaks loose sending the family and the community on a manhunt to end Searcy’s dark plot.

***

"Rain Story's focus on bringing this rural Southern community to life with its entwined gun culture, religious beliefs, and social milieu, creates a realistic and compelling backdrop for one of the biggest political hot potatoes in American culture today.

Under her hand, the characters, their lives and family influences, and underlying influences of greed and fear come to life. Realistic people come to terms with their beliefs and traditions as changing American society introduces new pressures and concerns into their lives.

Her attention to giving equal value to both sides in the Second Amendment argument, spicing the story with plots and struggle between and outside of family circles, brings all the perspectives to life in a satisfying, balanced manner.

Readers of political thrillers who like their social inspections well grounded in the daily lives and belief systems of family and tradition will find Guns & God: Lines in the Sand not only compelling, but thought-provoking on more than one level."
