If you like #hunting, #dogs, or have a kid that does?
Pick up Big Boy The Story of a Dog— a wonder #dog that catches #hogs, herds kids (snakes are a questionable thing), #track men, and saves the day! This book is based on true events that occurred in the #ozark hills during the Great Depression by Albert Pennington.
Want a heart warming children’s story about a pet #pig in the vein of Gordy and Babe? Check out Perry the Pet Pig by Eunice Pennington.
Is your book of choice #southerngothic? Check out one of BJ’s picks— The Ladybird Mystery by Eunice Pennington. Love, murder, and intrigue in Nashville Tennessee.
BJ’s other top pick is Master of the Mountains— a young man is given an unfathomable opportunity. A young woman is pursued by an unsuitable man. Hidden gold enraptures several of the characters. A old hill woman takes the young man under her wing and helps him find his true family and place along the banks of the Eleven Point River. By Eunice Pennington
Legends, mystery, and love form along the banks of the Current River in Cortreva’s Mysterious Shadow by Eunice Pennington
If non-fiction is your game check out History of the Ozarks or Ozark National Scenic Riverways by Eunice as well!
Coming soon! History of Carter County (abridged) and Other Writings by Eunice Pennington. Edited by Bobbie Roshone which will include a biography of Eunice, writings from newspapers and magazines, and some colorful commentary!
Black Boy A Story of a Pup! This one is long in coming but so worth it— I’m giving a little teaser on this if you check out the photos. Emily Sanders graciously assisted in illustrating this book and we are loving it! This is a a labor of love and we are not rushing the reprinting of this one— so no release date but hopefully in 2025!
BJ is currently working on a couple of writing projects but is hoping to put out a couple poetry books with work from her @prairieriverwitch page. A murder mystery story based in Nebraska and a Ozark #folklore laced series she’s hoping to complete soon. She did finally get around to turning the original blog post that took her down the road to creating JP Brand Books into book form!
