Solar – One Family’s Reality

This is a true story about my trip down Solar Lane.  Solar is not this country’s salvation and it is not for everybody.  It would have cost us $100,000 to bring electricity to our property line.  We decided to go green (now that is a no-brainer).  This short story talks about what we have, what it will run, and the cost.

Check out this story, if you have been thinking of going with solar and wind.

Billy Cooper’s Awesome Nightmare

Billy Cooper’s seventh grade class has been given a last minute, weekend assignment.  They must all draw a piece of paper out of a box and do an oral book report on the person or event that was drawn.  Billy draws the name, William Tel, whoever that is.

He has a full weekend planned, but figures he will do a ten minute search and will be able to skate through the assignment, still having plenty of time for his busy weekend.

His outlook changes when he finds himself in the fourteenth century, standing in front of William Tell’s house.

Billy Cooper’s Awesome Nightmare was picked up by MuseItUp Publishing.  What happens when a seventh grader from 2012, meets a historical legend from the 14th Century.  Lots of adventure and surprises.  This story is only in eBook form.
