Edmund Pickle Chin, the donkey that inspired April Elwood's book "Edmund Pickle Chin," passed away this Thursday. Edmund was a rescue donkey at Evermay Farm, a nonprofit animal sanctuary founded by Elwood. Edmund was diagnosed with mouth and jaw cancer and, with great sorrow, he was euthanized. Elwood wrote this letter to the late Edmund Pickle Chin.

My Dearest Edmund,

Who would have ever guessed the profound impact you, a grey, long fuzzy eared, pickled chinned donkey would have on my life. There are so many things, lessons learned, that because of you, I am a better me.
You were an amazing teacher, you gave me so many gifts, of knowledge and new ways of thinking, patience and determination. As you grew and changed from a shy, anxious soul, I grew with you. You showed me anything really is possible.

It's because of you my two of my biggest "bucket list items," became reality and for this I am eternally grateful. You came into my life and my childhood dream of writing a book unfolded before me. My dream of an animal rescue started with YOU. 
You are not only the face of this sanctuary, you my love were the personality of it.

It was the utmost honor being your guardian. Although you my sweet boy, were just as much mine, as I was yours. 
 As hard as it was to let you go, you helped make it so incredibly beautiful, you gave me the time I needed with you, a head hug, a nuzzle and like a gentleman, so stoic and majestic you left us at Evermay. I trust you will keep watch over your animals friends and humans here on the farm, you'll just be waiting at a different gate.

You are missed already and will be everyday. I love you. <3

Grandma's Face Tells Her Story

By

Elaine McKay

Grandma's face has a lot to say. It's her turn to put her grandchild to bed, but it's her cartwheeling eyes, her twitchy nose and the useful gap in her front teeth that make up the real bedtime story.

The book is available to buy on Amazon Kindle now!

Author Bio:

Elaine McKay lives in Scotland with her husband and four young children. She graduated from Glasgow University with an MA Honours degree in English Literature and Philosophy. She dreamed her own children would experience the joy of reading as much as she has and set out to surround them with the most magical, fun, lyrical, humorous, loving words she could find. Lots of these words she read from the pages of beautiful books, old and new, some she spoke from her own heart, and those words were the ones that would become Grandma's Face Tells Her Story.

We're Not in Kansas

by

RJ Hore

Archeologist and single mother Macy and her teenage daughter Tiffany are off to a dangerous part of the world, on a foolhardy search for traces of the ancient Egyptian cat-goddess, Bastet. What they find is far more than they bargained for: a dangerous dictator, a mysterious police inspector, and a grizzled Indiana Jones look-alike.

You might say the trip takes them right out of this world. Will they get home alive or simply disappear into very thin air?

Set in the near future, We Aren't in Kansas is a marriage of a thriller and speculative fiction, with a soupcon of romance.

The book is available to buy on Amazon now!

Outnumbered and beset, Mixcoatl must once again look to the sly King of Gwynedd for assistance to raise a force to save England and the life of his pregnant wife.
