Anabel's Lion by Tony Baker

Truth: A Story of Canree Nu West by Mary Ransome

Daughter of God: The Orphan by Rich Kopacz

I Am From Idaho by Michael Edwards (coming soon)!

It belongs to those willing to fight for it, and there is a reason why we are drawn in through fights, battles, and high action.

It keeps the story moving, and in this episode, we will discuss why.

It's not Pigs in Space, but I bet Miss Piggy could sing in Space, and then we will really have a Space Opera.

In this episode, I talk about Goldilocks and the Ewoks, and how the Redwoods have Endor vibes.
