Adventures at Granddad’s House

admin — Wed, 23 Jan 2019 00:38:18 +0000

This book is loosely based on actual life stories of my childhood spending summers in Canyon, TX at my grandparent’s house. I took some liberties in the story telling to make it a little more entertaining but the events that took place are fairly actual. The two main characters are L.D. (myself) and Jaime (my cousin and best friend in life). It takes place during the early 1960’s when kids could roam around a small town on their own without fear of any wrong doing by anyone else. It was a wonderful time to be a kid. We both got into our own mischief and predicaments but all usually ended in a life lesson learned.

This is about a time gone by, when kids did not have computers or cell phones and played outside all day and went fishing and such for entertainment. I truly enjoyed writing these little short stories and reliving those wonderful memories. I hope the readers can immerse themselves into the stories and experience the memories as I did.

The Shepherds’ Story by James McNally

admin — Mon, 14 Jan 2019 02:48:28 +0000

This is a story about two Shepherd children’s search for the new born baby Jesus. The Story begins with a traveling story teller predicting the birth of Jesus in the nearby town of Bethlehem. The children decide to travel to Bethlehem to find the baby. They think that they can see the baby and return to their camp without their parents ever knowing that they were gone.

The Children start off and before long are lost, cold and hungry. They fall asleep and are kidnapped by two ruffians who intend to sell them to slavers. The parents discover the children are gone and begin a frantic search but with no results. Meanwhile one of the slavers has a change of heart and lets the children go. Once freed they continue their search for the baby Jesus.

The story takes a surprising turn and ends with the children seeing the baby Jesus and the parents finding their children. This is a unique and different Christmas story and has all of the elements to make its reading an annual Christmas tradition to be enjoyed by generations of children…and their parents.
