"We've got to alert the police," said
Tim.
"Not
so fast." A deep, husky voice called out to them from the shadows.
B.J. and another, larger man stepped out and confronted Annette and Tim. The
larger man had a
black beard and wore a stocking hat. In his hand was a large
switchblade which he flashed
toward them.
"She's
the one got me into trouble," b.J. said in an agitated voice.
"Well, she's gonna be no trouble from now on," snarled the large man as he
closed the distance between them.
The Valentine's
Dance (Girls asks Boy) is coming up and Annette knows that Pete is
expecting her to ask him,
yet she wants to ask Penny's brother Tim instead.
Everyone is tired of winter and hoping the ground hog won't see
his shadow!
Meanwhile, look out! Livestock rustlers
are in the area. Also, Ruby's nightmares are growing worse, causing the Vetter
family
some concern. Stranger yet, her dreams seem to have this weird
connection to a "Missing in Action" American pilot in Vietnam.

"I wonder what
Terry's hiding," said Penny. "I mean ... this is really a mystery,
Annette.
He shows up in Ravensville, like a homeless person ... but he has a dad in
Madison ... and he's carrying around the
picture of this little girl. It
gives me the creeps."
"Oh, Penny!" Annette
scolded her friend. "I'm sure it's nothing like that. Terry seemed really nice."
"Well, you only say him a couple of times. How do you know what he's like? He
might be a thief or ... or a kidnapper."
"Your imagination is running wild again," Annette taunted.
But the situation had her worried. She prayed that Terry Knutson wasn't planning
to rob the Randts. What if he had conned them
into working for them, only to
steal from them?
But that didn't make sense.

For two years Shirle Klein was in contact with her alien friend.
Before Frank left, he gave her physical proof -- something few contactees can
claim.
This is the intriguing true story of Shirle Klein-Carsh, Canadian
surrealist artist and ufologist,
whose internationally recognized paintings
have been shown throughout the world. Unlike many others who claim
contact
with extraterrestrials, Shirle deeply cares about humanity, and her love for the
Creator is so great that
the aliens entrusted her with an important
assignment to be fulfilled in the coming of the New Age.

MEMOIR / PERSONAL ESSAY

What was it like to be a teen-age girl growing up in the '60s in Monona, Wisconsin?
Amid political turbulence, social reforms and the Vietnam war, adolescence was challenging enough for a middle-class Wisconsin girl named Ann Schumacher.

In her memoir, Ann Ulrich Miller divulges her most intimate writings as she emerges into womanhood. Included are unforgettable tales of growing up in a family of six kids, close childhood friendships, fleeting and "serious" loves, influential dreams, an addiction to Nature and living things, with outspoken personal snippets on the political events of that time.

A gunshot reverberated in the
air at the same time a bullet sprayed dirt up from the ground just in front
of
Annette. Glancing up, she saw Paulo Volivar sitting on his horse at the edge
of the cliff...
While
visiting a ranch in the Cochetopa Hills of Colorado, Annette and her best
friend, Penny, get more than they bargained for
when their new friend, Mandy,
leads them on horseback into forbidden territory. A missing professor, a
suspicious yellow envelope,
and a mysterious old mountain man are the
ingredients for mystery, adventure and a spark of romance, in this Sixties era
introduction to the Annette Vetter mystery series.
The only light came from a
street lamp that poured in through the bedroom window. As Annette's eyes
adjusted,
she saw John Hilgert asleep in his bed, his knees drawn up under the
blankets, and the pillow cushioned over his head.
Suddenly, something struck
Annette as being very odd. If John Hilbert was sleeping, why wasn't there any
sound... any breathing?
New
faces at Ravensville High include the boy on the farm down the road, who has
Annette in a quiver, and the new girl in her art class.
Chris Hilgert's family
problems soon lead Annette into involvement with murder and Sue Hilgert's
psycho boyfriend. Will Chris and Sue's father
turn out to be the famous
landscape artist, Jean Ilgér? And what is so special about that mysterious
paint Chris talks about using for her art project?
