The pen is mightier than the sword—and easier to carry.

Not only that. It’s more interesting. It can create. It can imagine. It can poke you in the ribs.

A collection built for dipping in, rereading, and sharing—where humor lives next to sincerity and curiosity does most of the driving.

Hodgepodge, Mishmash, & Jumble is suitable for all ages and orientations. Within are stories, pictures, and startled musings. Tall tales, short jokes, and wide horizons.

Passages of hyperbole nestle near depictions of an essential and elemental nature. There are bedtime stories for big kids, small fry, and inquiring minds of all size.

Don’t be shy. Open this book and flirt with the unknown. Find old pals, new acquaintances, and, possibly, true love. Cast your fate (or at least a few moments) to the wind. Uncover secrets, run into good friends, and be comforted.
