Excerpt:
The words spoken by Aaron Marshall to his lovely wife Kendra were expressions that would haunt her mind countless times throughout the years that followed. “Isn’t this place peaceful?†Aaron had whispered softly in her ear. “It makes a person just wish time could stand still right here.†Kendra never forgot those words. Perhaps the words on the small weathered tombstone at Hammer Cemetery would have been more accurate. “I once was as you, and you shall be as I.†After a fabulous weekend getaway, Kendra and Aaron joined Kendra’s parents and younger sister Aimee at Alfaland, a prestigious country farm that held abundant cherished memories for Kendra and her family. What a difference a phone call and five minutes made for Kendra and her entire family when a huge whirling black cloud dropped from the sky and altered their lives forever.
Alfaland Song, first verse:
Whenever I pass a group of pines it sparks my memory My thoughts go back to Alfaland, the place I long to be. Wherever on earth I find myself and feel a gentle breeze My mind wanders back to Alfaland the place I long to see. Alfaland, sweet Alfaland, my soul cries out for thee. To see the one I love once more and hold her tenderly. Written by Alfaland character Joey Dubois

*****REVIEW
Kendra Patton, and her younger sister Aimee Sue, grew up at Alfaland, a
prestigious country farm in Indiana. The Patton home consisted of one-
hundred and eighty-eight acres of pure beauty, with blooming gardens,
pools and ponds, and horses that Kendra and Aimee deeply admired.
Childhood for the Patton girls was a family album of cherished, loving
memories that shined through Alfaland from their parents and relatives,
friends, and Amish neighbors. Their religion constituted high morals and
values, respect, and love for others. Everyone in the town they lived in
admired and respected the Patton family. The abundance of love that
Kendra's parents, Byron and Leigh gave to their daughters could be felt
through Kendra, Aimee, and Alfaland. At twenty-two years old, Kendra
married Aaron, and was expecting her first child. Aimee Sue was in her
second year of college, during which time she met the love of her life at a
party. Kendra and Aimee were invited to dinner at Alfaland, a day that was
supposed to be the happiest day of their lives. The anticipation of Kendra
announcing that she was three months pregnant to her first child was
overwhelming. The thought of her parents becoming grandparents,
and Aimee becoming an Aunt, filled her with an abundance of joy that she
could no longer keep a secret. The girls had arrived at Alfaland, and Kendra
and Aimee were sharing secrets. Byron and Leigh were preparing dinner,
and had just found out that they would soon be grandparents. Aaron was
taking in the scenery, so much admiring the love and beauty of Alfaland,
smiling at his dog Buster, who also loved the farm. George, who was the
Patton's hired helper, was tending to the barn as he always did. Bryon and
Leigh were shouting to the girls from their outdoor patio to hurry up,
so they all could eat dinner, before it begins to rain. Kendra was inside the
house, listening intently to Aimee Sue's secret. Aimee had just told Kendra
that she was in love with someone. During this time, Aunt Jane called to
warn them about a storm coming their way. Within a split-second, a raging
tornado attacked Alfaland, changing the lives of the Patton family forever.
In the first few chapters of Alfaland, the reader can sense love, happiness,
and horror. In a clever way, the author describes beauty to its utmost level,
and terror from mother nature in its devastating behavior. The strength of
Kendra as described by Susie Honeycutt is a remarkable portrait of
inspiration to all readers. The reader can detect love as described in the
movie "Ghost." The reader can feel the happiness, and sadness as described
in the movie "Love Story." As one reads through the lives of the Patton
family, after the impact of the horrific affects of the tornado, pain and
remorse can also be felt. I would recommend this novel to teens as well as
adults. The story reveals a crucial fact of how our strength through an
unexpected crisis in our lives can not only help us, but others as well.
The author paints an incredible picture of determination through the
lives of the Patton family, after they battle grief from death, and sadness
from loss. The moral of the story lies in the truth that many of us have
lived through, and the "Beatles" made a hit song of it, titled "All you Need
Is Love."

June Bear Adventures - The Missing Pies is an exceptional children's fantasy book, promised to keep the kids and tweens turning pages all the way to the very end. Even some adults can't help themselves and have to read it from beginning to end, enjoying every word of the fantastic adventure.
paperback, 236 pages, ISBN: 978-1432703523 $11.95
Here are the opinions of some readers:
Francis Lynn, author of teen/young adult novels:
Kids and their parents should appreciate "June Bear Adventures - The Missing Pies". Birgit and Roger Pratcher are a husband and wife team, whose books are always on the original and humorous side. Their new children's book is no exception. It's a tantalising story, and like most detective stories will make readers want to carry onto the end. It might be too lively for bedtime stories though!
Brooke, singer and songwriter:
