Turtle Trilogy on sale!


It's still summer as long as you have a good book!

Hello! I've lowered the prices on my award-winning Turtle Trilogy books on Kindle. They're still good reads, it's just that I've been around so long I'm gaining more control over my inventory. Give them a look!

(Reviews and comments)

A Three-Turtle Summer
Janelle Meraz Hooper
A Cool Book Review (www.cool-book-review.com )

Janelle Hooper has brought a story of domestic violence into fine focus with this book. It is a tragic tale but one reflecting the persistence of the human spirit which eventually brings a final relief from the agonies of pain, fear, and violence. The demeaning treatment of the heroine of this tale by her husband and her resourcefulness to secretly battle him could only be told by someone who has been very close to similar actual events as either participant or observer. Kindle, $5.99 USD (Also in paperback)

As Brown As I Want: The Indianhead Diaries
Janelle Meraz Hooper

Janelle Meraz Hooper has hit a homerun with her second book, AS BROWN AS I WANT, The Indianhead Diaries." Even better than her much acclaimed first book, A THREE-TURTLE SUMMER, Janelle's new book propels the reader through a series of unique situations as experienced by eight-year-old Glory, who always seems just a few steps ahead of her scheming father. Kindle $3.99 USD (Also in paperback) Kelly Creso, Bold Media Corporation

Custer and His Naked Ladies
Janelle Meraz Hooper

Janelle Meraz Hooper has done it again! Custer and His Naked Ladies is filled with quirky and likable characters in a richly detailed setting. Humor, family and love come shining through. There is a poignant line in the book that has stayed with me: "Old age had crept in and stolen their bodies while they were dancing through life." These women have danced! VF Gibson, Seattle, WA   Kindle $5.99 USD (Also in paperback)

Imus needs to be slapped!

Mariner's spring training, Peoria

Imus-The comment by Imus about the Rutger’s Women’s Basketball Team offended me in so many ways, but it also triggered a childhood memory: whenever the men in our community decided to divorce their wife, she suddenly became a whore. Even more fascinating, their friends would back them up, and parrot the lies all over town as if they were God’s honest truth. I don’t know if this was just a Southern thing, or if other men in the Northern states used the same justification for leaving the wife and kids. What about men in other parts of the world? Did they do the same thing? Maybe so. I’ve decided that this ritual occurs because it is the most hurtful thing an angry man can say to a woman. If this is true, then what made Imus so angry with a women’s basketball team—none of which he’d never met? By the way, it’s called a women’s basketball team, but these girls are ages 17-22 years.
Somebody needs to be slapped!
