  ODELL BUCKENFLUSH CHRONICLES 1...

  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.

  Know They Neighbor - The Monster...

  It began with a dead cat on the fire escape. For Ellen Tighe, a young woman clinging to decency in San Francisco’s toughest neighborhood, it was just another unpleasant reminder that life in The Tenderloin was never easy. But as strange noises echo through the halls and the police shrug off wild reports of green-skinned men eating live mice, Ellen’s world teeters between routine reality and impossible nightmare. What hides behind her neighbors’ locked doors? Why does the man in 410 watch her so closely? And what, exactly, is waiting inside her own apartment? 
  Elisabeth R. Lewis weaves this story like a slow-burn fuse, turning the everyday into the eerie and the familiar into the alien. Know Thy Neighbor mixes urban realism with uncanny horror, giving us a heroine whose fears feel uncomfortably real until the unthinkable steps into view. Written during the golden age of short science fiction, it channels post-war anxiety, loneliness, and distrust into something that still resonates today: the fear that the threat isn’t from another planet—it’s living right next door.

  Have you ever tasted the stars?

  one. 
  Would it? 
  This enchanting parable by celebrated author and artist Joyce Hesselberth will  
  enthrall readers young and old. Luminous and dreamlike as a falling star, it is a  
  story that shares timeless truths—how the consequences of our actions affect  
  those around us, how desire is not always what it seems, and how generosity and  
  friendship glow brightest of all.
