Well, it is that time of year to re-read your favorites of the Dorothy Gilman vast booklist. She wrote and published books for almost 70 years. From here early teen-age stories and children&#8217;s stories to the adult thrillers and finally the senior citizen adventure series. There is a lot of stories for all of her fans around the world to enjoy. <\/p>\n<p>You can still find some of her earlier works available as used books and as collector&#8217;s items. We are still trying to get her agent or family members to allow someone to convert those stories over to eBooks so that more of us can enjoy those stories as well. Yes, they were written in an earlier and more innocent age but still are fun to read. I, myself, have collected almost every single book the author had published in books and magazines. There are a couple of exceptions but I haven&#8217;t given up hope. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Thale&#039;s Folly\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"970\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com\/kp\/card?preview=inline&#038;linkCode=kpd&#038;ref_=k4w_oembed_GmO5miAN3aetIz&#038;asin=B08L1MVCCJ&#038;tag=kpembed-20\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It is also that time of year to renew the website hosting, domain, and give the website a fresh look. If you can donate a couple of bucks towards that goal below I would greatly appreciate it. Of course, there is a donate button at the time and on the side panels all through the year. It is not required to enjoy the articles download some of the puzzles we created or even read copies of the magazine stories we have located so far. <\/p>\n<p>We are always looking for help in preparing fun and informative blog posts. If you would like to type a review of one of the books you read or share a story of when you met and conversed with the author we would really love to hear from you. Just use our CONTACT US form and we will post your contribution the following month. Telling stories is an artform and Dorothy Gilman did it really well. Until next time, keep on buying those books and reading those stories. <\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/donate?hosted_button_id=X29U5ZQT7YLJN\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DONATE IF YOU CAN<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, and Happy New Year everyone!
