Odell Buckenflush Chronicles 3...

Steve Spencer

The Odell Buckenflush Chronicles are river tales gathered from a career in outdoor education. Experiential learning is combined with humor to highlight environmental impacts and consequences. While the tales are humorous, each carries a lesson for those exploring the outdoors.
These stories serve as fun examples for outdoor leaders, teachers, camp counselors, and resource managers, making the book both educational and entertaining. After all, outdoor educators specialize in “edutainment.”
In the Chronicles, decisions must be made, leading to consequences and lessons. As Paul Petzoldt noted, people often need help understanding experiences to avoid repeating mistakes. These tales offer many examples of “what just happened.”
While not a deep dive into learning theory, the book shows different learning styles. As humorist Will Rogers said, “There are three kinds of people: those who learn by reading, those who learn by observation, and those who have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.” Odell does the “peeing”—you just enjoy the stories!
Each of the five volumes follows the same structure, featuring forty-eight tales across four chapters:Inventions and AchievementsFamily ConnectionsRescue and SurvivalPhilosophy and Life
At the end of each tale, a “Tale of the Tale” section explains the real-life inspiration.
A Glossary of River Terms adds both accuracy and humor. Multiple appendices cross-reference:Rivers and locationsPreviously published talesOutdoor experience subjectsBuckenflush characters
Dr. Odell Buckenflush isn’t one real person, but a blend of real folks, imagination, and folklore. You might even recognize yourself in these adventures.

Mars the Warning - Book 1 of 6 -...

Christopher Allen

Mars the Warning
Book 1 of 6 – The Awakening.
This completely new story I have written as summarized;
In 2050, humanity sends androids, the Ares Knights, to terraform Mars as Earth dies. Equipped with cloaks, fusion tridents, and plasma chain weapons, they begin transforming the planet. Unit K-27, Kael, investigates strange seismic activity and discovers a vast underground chamber with glowing crystalline structures. It encounters a Martian being, ancient and intelligent, which warns, “You do not belong here.” Kael ignores the warning, but its systems are overwhelmed. Back at Outpost Alpha, humans lose contact with the androids. The Martians, awakened by the intrusion, prepare to defend their home. The stage is set for an epic conflict.
This is just one of six audiobooks in the series, the others will be in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this first one, and its only $3, all subsequent will remain at that price as I would not like price to be a barrier to your enjoyment.
I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 plus minutes sets the scene, so to speak, this is heavy metal first but give it a chance and you will be surprised (I felt the martian beings would be extremely angry over humans trying to steal their planet hence the sound) ends with a warning sound music track like an alarm as the next episode will see them emerge to do battle, 2 minutes plus.
The story itself runs to about 9 minutes and is narrated in my own voice.
Here are the chapters and parts of the story:
Mars the Warning Book 1 of 6 – The Awakening
Part 1: The Awakening
The Ares Knights
Unit K-27: Kael
The Cavern
Outpost Alpha
The Martians
I do hope you and your family, if applicable, enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!
