Honk if You Married Sonja by Sonja Klein, written with a down-to-earth voice, is both cosmopolitan and unabashedly Texan. The book sweeps the reader from Klein's ranch in Real County , Texas to Vladivostok to Cuzco to Dubai to Samarkand and beyond. The book's strength lies in the writer's technique of unselfconscious revelations. If ever there were a female "Gus" in Lonesome Dove, Klein is it. Klein captures the true flavor and spirit of the people and the land she calls home. This heartbreaking, hilarious and unapologetic account of her life is priceless. Sonja Klein is a native Texan and has won awards for her short stories, essays and poetry. She lives on a west Texas ranch called Ambush Hill.
New Release by Local Favorite George Arnold
Eiffel’s Trifles and his Troubles is the much anticipated 5th book in George’s popular C.I.A. Cats series. Join Sir Buzzer Louis and his gang of crime-stoppers as they plan a devilishly-clever trap to stop Carlos the puma from blowing up one of the most prominent of the many monuments of Paris . Go with them to the top of the Eiffel Tower and into the city's famous sewers where Luigi expects to find rats as big as muskrats.
Learn with them to speak French from the 750-word French vocabulary and pronunciation guide built right in. For more information about George and his books go to www.ciacats.com
