Miss Webster's Little Arm and other creepy stories
There's something really disturbing about Kenny's teacher, Miss Webster, that goes deeper than that little arm growing out of her neck. Frances A. Hogg's special gift for developing interesting, compelling characters and placing them in intriguing situations with surprising results is showcased in her new collection of 24 short stories. Here you'll meet a guilt-ridden expert on freedom from guilt; a daughter desperate to grant the wishes of her dying mother; a man haunted by dreams of a lavender house; a teenager trying to help her little sister who hides from ghosts in closets; a young woman obsessed with Princess Di.
Charming! Unforgettable! - Susan Klopfer, author of Who Killed Medgar Evers? and The Plan

What's Cookin' Cuenca?
What’s Cookin’, Cuenca? is a guide for those who are interested in learning how to buy and prepare food in Cuenca, Ecuador, where water boils at a lower temperature and baking soda is a controlled substance meted out by the teaspoonful! This book provides advice about shopping and includes translations of the names of foods and culinary equipment, metric and temperature conversions, recipes and more. This amusing and helpful book is for everyone planning on checking out Ecuador as a place to live who might wonder what types of things to bring with them, and for all those Gringos who discovered over their first “home cooked” spaghetti dinner, that while tomate means tomato and salsa means sauce in Spanish, salsa de tomate is not tomato sauce.
Loved the book! She answers many of those "how do I?" questions that so many expats have! -- Nancy D. Turpin
Never Look a Gift Hearse in the Grille and other stories about cars
Frances A. Hogg knows a good story when she lives one. These twenty short stories about cars and the things that can happen in them run the gamut from road trips gone wrong and miserable double-dating disasters to encounters with Mexican customs agents, tornadoes and dead bears. Her quirky characters and funny and poignant adventures offer a glimpse of what is must have been like to grow up in the author’s off-beat, creative family.
The writer's lively, deep and deeply funny car stories don't end with cars, but reach out and encapsulate a child's universe.
