Reseña del libro "Short Stories and Tall Tales from Desert Sands (en Inglés)"

Desert Sands is like a lot of small towns in the dry region of the eastern Pacific Northwest, circa 1950. The Lord Mayor and his relatives tend to run the place, and the citizens do their besst to manage the mayor. The Third Street Diner is the social gathering place for coming-of-age kids and older folks. What can't be properly solved by a good chewing-over there will be deallt with at the Log Cabin Social Hall.Bachelors Fred and Farley and their neighbor the Keed form the heart of the stories. The brothers take Keed on fishing trips in their Six-Pak truck, a four door creation before its time, and teach him that the best way to beat the law on fishing limits is to invite Hog Mullins, the game warden, to a fish fry at the diner.Keed and his buddies call Fred and Farley's duplex with the separating wall removed the Lodge, and gather there for home-made rootbeer while the men sip elderberry wine and other concoctions. As Keed moves from battered bicycles to a tractor and then a Fred and Farley vehicle assembled of parts fround here and there, other characters appear, most of then descendents of the first settler and his large family. The author combines history, humor and adventure for a satisfying romp in Desert Sands where winters are sub-freezing cold and summers skin burning hot, where the wind blows the sand from every direction and stirs up adventures with locals and visitors just living their lives.
