red thunder \ `red `th?nd?r \ n. A phenomena rarely seen in nature. It is a red flash in the sky at night, evening, or early morning before it is fully light. In our native language, the word "thunder' also may apply to the accompanying and expected lightning. Further, the four thunders are known ancient and holy beings of nature possessing great powers and certain qualities and attributes, lightning being one of them. 
Therefore, this red flash is termed for the power or being actually behind it, the Red Thunder, kewl (red) stalonem (thunder) in our language. 
The Thunders may be called upon in certain ways and their presence may be interpreted depending upon the situation and whatever ceremonial prayer requests have been offered. 
 It is a sacred sign.

To Kill a Common Loon is part murder mystery, part contemporary fantasy, part eco-fable, and all fun. Harp P. Gravey, a down-and-out sometime-banjo picker, just wants to fulfill a deathbed promise to a friend and scatter his ashes in the wilderness. He never bargained on shape-shifting dragons, Indian Princesses, hat-loving cougars, and a villain who will stop at nothing to steal his friend's land.

Recipe from an Oyster is a collection of essays and poetry about life in the United States following Doreen Gandy Wiley's grim experiences in World War II in the Philippines. The book vividly describes the author's personal pain after she and her family arrive as refugees in the United States. Her personal battles with her new life ultimately result in spiritual growth.    Like the oyster, Wiley faces towering challenges, and through persistence and patience finds the pearls in her new life---precious gifts of a loving family, marriage, children, and a teaching career. Chapters about death, a near-fatal accident, and being robbed in Mexico will keep the reader turning pages.    The memoir's title is taken from a poem Wiley had published in The Youth Instructor in 1968. Twenty-two chapters built on subjects illustrated by quotes from literature and reflected in deeply felt prose and poetry add to the book's universal appeal.
