Book excerpt: "Mom, are you sure the wolf will not come?" "Absolutely, my rabbit." "But how can you be so sure?" This clever story disarms childhood bedtime anxieties in an unexpected way. A small rabbit getting ready for bed questions his mother on how she can be so sure that the wolf will not come to their house. Meanwhile, on the opposite page, we follow the progress of the wolf indeed creeping closer and closer to them, foiling the mother's reassurances one by one. In a delightful twist, the rabbit's fears are defused and all ends well. The irresistible drawings and surprise ending put nighttime anxieties in light-hearted perspective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2014 Oklahoma Book Award for nonfiction Winner of the 2014 Pate Award from the Fort Worth Civil War Round Table. When the peoples of the Indian Territory found themselves in the midst of the American Civil War, squeezed between Union Kansas and Confederate Texas and Arkansas, they had no way to escape a conflict not of their choosing--and no alternative but to suffer its consequences. When the Wolf Came explores how the war in the Indian Territory involved almost every resident, killed many civilians as well as soldiers, left the country stripped and devastated, and cost Indian nations millions of acres of land. Using a solid foundation of both published and unpublished sources, including the records of Cherokee, Choctaw, and Creek nations, Mary Jane Warde details how the coming of the war set off a wave of migration into neighboring Kansas, the Red River Valley, and Texas. She describes how Indian Territory troops in Unionist regiments or as Confederate allies battled enemies--some from their own nations--in the territory and in neighboring Kansas, Missouri, and Arkansas. And she shows how post-war land cessions forced by the federal government on Indian nations formerly allied with the Confederacy allowed the removal of still more tribes to the Indian Territory, leaving millions of acres open for homesteads, railroads, and development in at least ten states. Enhanced by maps and photographs from the Oklahoma Historical Society's photographic archives, When the Wolf Came will be welcomed by both general readers and scholars interested in the signal public events that marked that tumultuous era and the consequences for the territory's tens of thousands of native peoples.

Banished as a pup, he survived and returned as a gnaw wolf--the lowest member of the wolf pack. But Faolan wasn't meant to be a gnaw wolf. It's not just his strange, splayed paw, or his uncanny connection with the bears. There's something about Faolan that inspires certain wolves . . . and leaves others deeply suspicious. Now, with a dangerous threat on the horizon, the pack must make a choice. Will they trust the silver outsider with the task of leading? If Faolan can't fulfill his destiny, it could be the end of the wolves of the Beyond.

Book excerpt: “A couple tries to rekindle their relationship through a romantic weekend getaway . . . but everything goes awry. . . . Dark and extremely funny.” —Scots Magazine Struggling with their marriage, midlife empty-nesters Colleen and Andrew plan to spend a week in an isolated cottage—just the two of them. But with a landlord named Wolf who lives next door and won’t leave them alone, the couple start to feel like there are three people in their relationship. Still, they are determined to make a valiant effort to overcome this marital crisis. However, with both of them engaging in secret communications with others, they’re starting off on shaky ground. And with Wolf’s behavior growing ever more unsettling, it’s possible that leaving early would be a good idea. If only their car hadn’t broken down . . . “Full of cutting insights into the reality of long-term relationships but not at all short on heart-warming humour, The Wolf in the Woods is a sometimes sinister but tenderly told tale.” —The Independent “With characters that are all-too-relatable, The Wolf in the Woods skewers the lies we tell ourselves in order to keep going. I loved it.” —Stephen May, author of Sell Us the Rope “A master story-teller and observer of people and relationships. . . . Humour, suspense and unexpected twists. I could not put this book down.” —Christy Lefteri, author of The Beekeeper of Aleppo
