Where There’s Smoke, There’s Dinner
Stories of a Seared Childhood

Family: comfort food or a recipe for disaster?

Award-winning storyteller and performer Regi Carpenter brings her humor and honesty to print in Where There’s Smoke, There’s Dinner.
Regi is the youngest daughter in a family that pulsates with contradictions: religious and raucous, tender but terrible, unfortunate yet irrepressible. These honest tales some hilarious, some heartbreaking celebrate the glorious and gut-wrenching lives of four generations of Carpenters raised on the Saint Lawrence River in Clayton, New York.

Ants ‘N’ Uncles

“Ants ‘n’ uncles, uncles ‘n’ ants, dancin’ ‘cross the world with ants in his pants.

Goin’ everywhere he’s never been before, on his ant-imated world tour.”

What happens when Uncle steps on an ant hill? The ants in his pants make him dance, of course, and his dancing skills become famous around the world. From award-winning author and silhouette artist Clay Rice comes the rhyming tale of an accidental hero.

At Least Until the Next Exam

From award-winning comedy writers Gene Perret and daughter Linda Perret, these 175 original one-liners will give teachers all the laughs of a night out at a stand-up comedy club in the quiet of their own bed. (Let’s face it, that’s where all teachers want to be after a long day in the classroom.)
