NOTE FROM AUTHORThank you so much for considering my book Fire Girl. I want to let you know that 100% of all of my royalties go to the Wildland Fire Fighter Foundation – This cause financially helps the families of wildland firefighters who die in the line of duty. I was one of the first few female firefighters to work for the California Department of Forestry. The year was 1978 and there were only 26 of us girls working for CDF in the entire state that year. We were still treading on new territory. A female had never stepped foot to work at my assigned Northern California CDF station in its 50 year history!It was definitely a man’s world and some weren’t happy when an 18 year old girl that stood 5’2″ and weighed 95 pounds showed up for duty.From the mundane everyday station work to battling raging forest fires with near death experiences, I tell you my story how I remember it those many years ago with humor and honesty! Yeah, I have a “couple good stories” in there! If you are a firefighter past, present or future, thank you for your invaluable service! If you are a family member of a firefighter, thank you for your support!

The Siamese Twin Mystery (Otto Penzler's Classic American Mystery Library)
Rated 0 out of 5
0 ReviewsKindle Edition
by Ellery Queen (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
Ellery Queen and his father take refuge with a killer in this classic manor-house mystery starring one of crime fiction’s most legendary sleuths. Driving along a lonely mountain road, detective Ellery Queen and his father, Richard, round a bend and nearly run headlong into a forest fire. To escape, they race up the mountain and take shelter at the cliffside manor of Dr. John Xavier, a surgeon of considerable repute. Ellery quickly suspects something strange is going on inside the house—from Xavier’s bizarre references to his work to the pair of eyes Ellery sees burning in the dark—but before he can confront Xavier about what he’s doing in his laboratory, the good doctor is found shot dead while playing solitaire—and the only clue is a ripped six of spades. With the help of his father, a gruff police inspector, Ellery sets about solving the crime. The suspects include the victim’s valet, a pair of conjoined twins, and the mysterious Mr. Smith. In this game, the stakes are life and death. One of the earliest novels starring the storied Ellery Queen, The Siamese Twin Mystery is a classic golden-age murder mystery. From the manor-house setting to the gothic atmosphere, it presents an Edgar Award–winning author at his very best.

by Felix Salten (Author)
“Bambi, a Life in the Woods” is a 1923 novel by Austrian author Felix Salten. The story follows the life of a dear called Bambi from his birth, through his childhood and the death of his mother, to finding a mate, learning his father’s lessons, and discovering the dangers posed by human beings. This charming and timeless children’s story would make for perfect bedtime reading and is not to be missed by collectors of classic children’s literature. Felix Salten (1869 – 1945) was an Austrian author and critic. Other notable works by this author include: “Der Gemeine” (1899), “A Forest World” (1942), and “Renni the Rescuer” (1940). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
