  In loving Memory of Arlene m Menkel.When Arlene, aka Hilenie, was a little girl, she often sat on her grandfather's lap, whom she called Pappy. Those were extraordinary times for the two of them. Pappy's enjoyed reading to her as much as she enjoyed listening to him. Pappy would start the stories with what sounded like "Once-a-pon-a-time. Pappy instilled a love for storytelling deep within Arlene. Her plots sprang from what her ear heard as a child. Throughout her life, she had a passion for making up her own stories.  She was also motivated to write, songs, limericks,  and poems. The Hilenie and Friends Series Audiobooks are told from Hilenie's perspective. She always begins and ends her stories in a pickle. She has two imaginary sisters: the unsympathetic Hinenely and the supportive sister Hilena. Little Hilenie loves the land of make-believe, where animals talk. Her woodland characters are often in need of help which sometimes requires a rescue mission. The bears, bunnies, cats, cows, llamas, sheep, goats, Bigfoot, and many others live in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest near Vancouver, Washington, USA. All of Arlene's/Hilenie's stories are based on true life, especially experiences that she had with her children.  Each story has a story of its own, but that, of course, is another story.  The Hilenie Series Books resonate with those who  love reading. These stories not only appeal to the young, but they also appeal to the young at heart.

  Howlers Beach, 1932 
  Butter O'Bryan lives in a Very Small Castle with his father and three aunts - Aunt Elephant, Aunt Cake and Aunt Peculiar. These aren't their real names, of course, just as Butter's father isn't really called 'Pongo'. 
  And even though Butter is only twelve years old, and the grandson of one of Australia's most successful Jam Kings, he is very aware of the hardship many people are experiencing.  
  Butter has been told there are ghosts at the nearby isolated Howlers Beach, but are there? And how can the children Butter plays cricket with on the beach simply vanish? Who are these children and why do they refuse his help? 
  Butter is certain they're hiding a secret and he's determined to uncover it.AWARDS
