About the Book

A visiting guinea? A 'possum in the dining room? What strange and wondrous occurrences can one expect while living on an Ozark mountaintop for thirty-five years? These lyrical adventure stories feature chickens, raccoons, bugs, dogs, cats, and natural critters of this woodland home. Throw in a few neighbors who shoot copperheads or remodel the dirt road. Ponder the passage of time through a philosophical lens of wonder and delight. The seasons bring summer heat, winter snow, pouring rain, the power of fire. Lessons learned, questions posed-who has lived and died on this land? What is our responsibility to this place, its creatures, each other? Come meet the goat on the road. "I enjoyed all these stories and especially admired the author's ability to describe the creatures she encounters with a naturalist's eye and a pet lover's emotions. My favorite story was Summer, a languorous description of a 102-degree day on the mountain where the smallest movement seems difficult and time slows down. The author's prose is lyrical and yet unsentimental. You can feel the heat and the sense of relief when the day draws to a close. A beautifully-written series of stories..."

About the Author :
Denele Campbell has been crafting stories since before she could write. While pursuing her undergraduate degree in English, she filled her electives with writing classes and dreamed of a day when she could devote herself to creating amazing works of literature. But life intervened with love and children, household and jobs, pets and pursuits, leaving Campbell to fit in bits and pieces of authorship. Newspaper columns, articles on local history, biographical profiles and small evocative essays kept her writing passion on a low simmer until the mid-1990s, when a collection of non-fiction stories were published under the title Notes of a Piano Tuner. During that same time period, she was jotting down bits about her life at home. These grew into Goat on the Road.
