It’s Christmas time and what better gift can you give a child than a book?

I wrote a couple of books a few years ago because I was enchanted with the Heavener Runestone. The runestone that sits in the valley in southeast Oklahoma near Heavener is a mystery. The hills and valleys are a magical place, and it is possible that ancient Vikings settled there long before Christopher Columbus came to America. Or maybe not. But a mystery is a mystery, and I found a wonderful backdrop for a story or two. Glome’s Valley https://books2read.com/u/4ERZA0 and Return to Glome’s Valley https://books2read.com/u/bpzR0g were born in those valleys.

When Ethan and his dad to go Heavener, Oklahoma to read an ancient runestone, he is sure he’s going to be bored all summer. But Ethan quickly makes new friends, at least one of them a ghost. What began as a trip to Dullsville suddenly becomes a fantastic adventure. There are other creatures living in the valleys near the runestone – energetic fairies, beautiful wood nymphs, and smelly old trolls. Ethan stumbles into the midst of an ancient war, and the only person who can save him is his archaeologist dad and the phone app that summons Thor.

Then I decided the story wasn’t finished and Ethan had to return to the valley. Return to Glome’s Valley took place when Ethan was a young man, but he was not prepared for what he encountered.

Fourteen years ago, Ethan met Glome and the fairies while his father studied the Heavener Runestone. Now back, news traveled fast in the forest. Ethan learned that the Vinland Maps, drawn by Vikings traveling to North America before Columbus, lay hidden in a cave. Warned by Trondelag, the dragon, not to go up against Loki and the draugrs for a piece of paper to make him famous, Ethan decided to go anyway. And then there was Mac – his doppelganger. Would he be able to protect her?

Kids love books and they are available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Pick up a stocking stuffer and watch your kids enjoy the magic. Then make a trip to the Heavener Runestone Park Heavener Runestone Park where the magic began.
