Love Shack Books
by Christopher Schmehl
Two young scouts follow a strange, old man across a bridge into the magical land of Oz. They find themselves caught in a bizarre adventure. It will take every bit of bravery and skill they can conjure to help Princess Ozma and make it back home.
Dorothy Gale and her dog Toto were transported to Oz over a century ago. Their story as told in the book The Wizard of Oz has passed into legendary status. Who doesn't fear the Wicked Witch of the West when they watch the 1939 MGM film version?
The statement "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore" is used commonly to refer to an unfamiliar place or situation. When appraising a person's intelligence, ability to love or show compassion, or bravery in the face of danger, people automatically think of Dorothy's three friends she meets on her way to see the Wizard.
Our culture has adopted Oz as the original American fairytale.
The State of Oz is the keystone story in a new series of Oz books for the current generation.

I love books and storytelling more than is sane.
I was born in the 1970s when books were all paper and phones were wired to a wall. Things are far different in today's world. I have a Bachelor of Arts in English/professional writing from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania. Traditional publishing houses that I approached just weren't impressed with me, so here I am. I have stories in mind for publication that span several genres. Be sure to give one of my books a try. You won't regret it.
The Whimsies have invaded the land of Oz! Glinda, Ozma, and Dorothy are abroad in the Forest of Burzee. Betsy Bobbin reigns a fairyland full of danger at every turn. Toto, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, the Cowardly Lion, the Patchwork Girl, and former king Pastoria must help Betsy protect the realm and thwart the Whimsies!
