https://www.facebook.com/AnimalsIHaveHated

Animals I Have Hated started of as stories with life lessons my mother told. Then I added a few. Then I talked to an art teacher who enlisted the help of two of her middle school students to provide art work and Animals I Have Hated became a reality.  The name comes from my mother. She stated that if she ever wrote a book she would call it Animals I Have Hated.

Added to that, we are getting ready to publish a series of 30 to 60 page e-books withKindle Direct.

Two of my granddaughters and I are in the process of writing Grandpa Sez – Advice to Young Ladies.  They are high school aged and have lots of questions. Then, I have what some people call a weird way of looking at life that they seem to appreciate.  Hopefully some of the 7 million high school girls in the US will appreciate my way of looking at life.

After the e-book publishing bugs have been worked out (they would get worked out much faster if Herb’s granddaughter quit school and came and did his work for him) he will e-publish Animals I Have Hated.  Tales of Leviathan will follow.  While doing this, his construction clients insist that he cannot miss the print publication date of The Stucco Book-Forensics & Repairs.

A little light reading from Nordy's Library

Nordy Books has links to books in a number of categories.  If you or a member of  your family has cancer, you will want to go to the Cancer link and download Cancer – An Intense House Guest, and We Heard the Wings of Angels (a booklet of 32 devotions written by and for those suffering with cancer).

Click on the menu tabs to learn about devotions, animal stories with life lessons, and stucco.  As we have time, there will be tabs for green construction and kayaking.
