The Adventures of Walt and Sparky: Hunkering Down Volume 1

Beschreibung

Walt and his little dog Sparky face the toughest winter ever. It is said that trouble comes in threes, but this year trouble came in fours, fives, and sixes. They survived volcanic eruptions, an earthquake, extended power outages, food shortages, a crime wave, federal government shutdowns, and armed home invaders.

Stephen met his wife Cindy while serving in the Army in Augsburg, Germany. Soon after that they were married and moved to Ft. Collins, Colorado where they lived for two years. When they got the chance they moved to the mountains of North Idaho where they bought some land in the mountains and began building a log cabin, where they still live today. Neither had any building experience but, this didn't stop them. They moved back to the land with almost no money, no experience, a willingness to sacrifice, lots of youthful energy., and a stack of Mother Earth News magazines to inspire their back to the land adventure. Over the years they brought in power, built a wood shop, developed a homestead, and began making wooden toys that they sold at area craft fairs for twenty years. When gasoline prices began to skyrocket and it got expensive to travel to art shows, Steve taught himself to be a webmaster so that he could spend more time at home. Little by little they kept working on their homestead and making improvements as time and money allowed. Their property is mostly covered in evergreen trees so they spent a lot of time cutting trees and clearing the land. Now Steve is mostly retired and Cindy grows lots of food in her greenhouse and garden. They enjoy being at home, and only go to town once a week. Steve enjoys his ham radio hobby and they both try to play a few games of pool everyday in a carport that they converted into a billiards room. Years ago they wrote several books about marketing artwork and craft products and hadn't thought anymore about writing for years. But when Steve turned 70 years old, he began thinking of writing again. At age 70 he knew that his best days were behind him and he decided to write his first novel. The Adventures of Walt and Sparky - Hunkering Down is his first book in the series. Hopefully the second book in the series will be available early in 2023.
