WELCOME....and thank you for dropping in to "MARK STELLINGA'S BOOKSTORE."
I've been toying with short stories, novellas, novels, and what I like to call "commercial verse" for a few years now. At 58-years-old, I decided it was finally time to begin publishing some of my work and to share it with those who appreciate "intriguing circumstances" and "adventurous situations."
There are several books here for youngsters, as well as a few for adults, and oodles and oodles of the very type of poetry that, prior to about 1925, made it an easy genre to actually sell. That's what I mean by "commercial verse;" it RHYMES...and it's easier to "get" than a lot of contemporary poetry.

My "Buster Boogernose" © series.
|
Just click on the book covers above to learn all about my wonderful 10-book series of middle-grade children's books.
Though these are aimed at youngsters ages 7 to 14, they can make wonderful "readers" for parents, grandparents, etc. who are young at heart, and want to spend some quality time with the children in their lives. Each book takes approximately 60 to 90 minutes for most kids to read. These are a truly worthwhile substitute for computers and game-boys, etc.
There are 10 very family-friendly books in this particular series. And in the novels section below there is a fast paced adventure book titled "Satellite Detectives" that is also aimed at children ages 7 - 14 that your kids woud be sure to enjoy.
Note: The covers for my Buster Boogernose series were done by the talented children's books illustrator Denis Proulx, who you can contact at www.shangrilas-studio.com.
