Introduction.
Here are several small
shorter beauties for you.๐
THESE SLENDER volumes feature a beautiful simple original cover foto and design. And a gentle text; that has a delicious rhyme and reason and structure and rhythm and form; that will gently sweep the reader along!
Marguerite likes to call these dear small works novellas perhaps.-For their more gentle simple immediate scope. Or; they can be small collections of more loosely-connected short stories. Or; if they are shorter in pages; or smaller in form; she thinks of them as Story Cards.๐

HAPPY TRAILS!
Ja, Okay; I Love to Read!Paperback; 6 x 9; 67 pages.
Nine small linked short stories!๐
THIS LOVELY slim volume; is a celebration of the beautiful interesting people you can meet; walking the streets of our neighborhoods. And they do not all look like you!
Nor; of course; do they have to. In Marguerite's burg; people not only welcome; but they celebrate diversity. Marguerite has walked the city streets all of her life! And she thinks that is the loveliest way to get somewhere; anywhere.๐
THE JAZZ MEISTER
Paperback; 6 x 9; 71 pages.
Novella; nine sweet small chapters.๐
THIS BOOK is written for adults.-But with the gentle innocence; joy and simplicity of a children's book! Because sometimes life is that. It is a celebration of an old revered jazz master; who taught her dear boy jazz.-Oh, mama; the saxophone!
Come watch those kids! As they try to master those sweet charming rough innocent tones.-Of those sassy brassy horns. That boy got so good on sax! But make note; it was his mama who taught him how to read music; and how to count those crazy jazzy notes. Because no one else was teaching those kids that!
"I can't do that!"
His private music teacher said.
But what?! (Begging her
pardon then; but what?!)
Which seemed strange to both of them! And they dropped him pretty quick after that. But that was really fun for her! That boy was so smart; he learned so fast; she loved that!๐
THE HONOR CODE
Paperback; 6 x 9; 85 pages.
Novella; eight small chapters.๐
THIS IS quite a serious tome; that Marguerite did not really want to write. But she is unaccustomed to having bullies; as neighbors. Even; quite strangely; grownup ones! Wealthy established grownup ones.
She comes from a more enlightened world. So this; quite necessarily; is a deadly earnest study of societies.-Especially then; women's worlds. And; most notably; bullying. But it is easy to see through glib brainless soulless people like that. Though sadly; a troubled beat goes on.
But people can write about that!
People should write about that.
People should expose that!
People can make it a better world
that way! And marguerite will
always try.๐
FLEDGLING SEASON
HERE IS a celebration of a dear fleeting friend; who sat on their porch rail one day.-One sweet small fledgling baby crow.-As two mamas; one human; and one crow; faithfully lingered to watch over him. (Well; her boy and her husband were there too!) And so; they each kept a watch.
You do what you have to!๐
SONG SONG BLUE
Paperback; 4.25 x 6.875; 29 pages.
A small gentle reverie.๐
THE NEW administration has put a bug in Marguerite's bonnet! So; some of her subsequent books perhaps; will be to work those bugs out! Here is one of her small gentle story cards.
And perhaps; a dear small
gift book too!
Of the sad sad political song we are singing today. From one democratic mama; whose heart remains true blue.-And; she will sing her beautiful song too!
Give this sweet small book to a friend! Who maybe feels as you do! Singing is always better then.-With five; ten; one hundred; one thousand! Or even then; just two. Do-re-mi; what range are you; what key are you?! Marguerite is joyfully; top to bottom; ever in the key of true blue.๐
THE WAY OF THE GOAT
Paperback; 6x9; 37 pages.
Two small quirky chapters.๐
THIS COULD be another
dear small gift book perhaps!
For its dear wonderful quirky nature; and wonderful curiosity. Where Miss Margaux will tell her quite necessary tale.-Of politics; and goats! And it seems; quite inevitably; another gentle resistance then; against the troubling rule of the day. Miss Margaux must throw off!-A common insult flung about; by the ruling politicos of her time; regarding the state of being woke.-But no!
She must assert her true identity here.
They just got a couple of letters wrong!
But Miss Margaux is the GOAT!-Not woke.
But maybe; they would get it by the by.
She will not wait; but maybe.๐
