Overview

Stella's husband, Rolf, is a professional poker player, traveling the country, following the game. While Rolf always says that he has 'the luck of the draw' - Stella has her doubts. 

 

With Rolf mostly gone, Stella and her four children live in a 20 foot camper, traveling from town to town. Sometimes Rolf wins big, showering them with gifts and money, sometimes he takes what little they had to stake the next game. 

 

Then one morning Rolf returns, handing Stella the deed to a lakeside property in Ohio. She races to claim the house, thinking their luck had finally changed for the better...instead, the house is hidden in a jungle of weeds and ramshackle old buildings.

 

Determined to make this grim, lifeless old house into a home,  Stella digs in her heels and battles weeds and wild animals, finding unexpected allies along the way. But in the end, Stella must decide just how far she is willing to go to keep this home for her family.

 

I. C. Talbot left a lifetime's worth of short stories to her daughter when she passed away. K. A. Jordan edits these tales and publishes them.

About the Author

K. A. Jordan was a refugee from the Rust Belt who escaped to the Blue Grass Kentucky in 1992. She writes and blogs from 'Jordan's Croft' a small farm where she lives with her husband, three horses, three dogs and a herd of alpacas.

She says of her writing: "There are no 'ripped bodices' in my novels, but you will find charming criminals, wounded heroes, mad artists and the occasional haunted motorcycle."

Her debute novel "Let's Do Lunch" spent 10 weeks on the Amazon UK Romantic Suspence Best Sellers list, peaking at #3, in December 2011. She followed that success with "Swallow the Moon" and "Horsewomen of the Zombie Apocalypse." 

She holds a degree in Applied Science, spins her own yarn, gardens and can often be found on the back of her husband's Suzuki M109 motorcycle.



Born in 1923 in the little town of North Kingsville, Ohio, and growing up in the Great Depression. I. C. Talbot went to a school where she knew everyone for all twelve years. She graduated Valedictorian in a class of 13 students. She then went on to the Ashtabula Business College, the first woman in her family to seek higher education. 

Her first job was as a typist, then she worked as a secretary until she retired in 1988.

When the economy went south in the 1970's she bought and operated a tavern from 1971 to 1988. After that, she and her husband traveled in an RV, where she did the bulk of her writing. They finally settled in Kentucky when they could no longer travel and did not care to battle the northeastern Ohio winters. 

With the help of her daughter, K. A. Jordan, she began to e-publish her short stories in 2010 until she passed away in 2012. 

She said of her writing: "I write pulp fiction. My stories are pure entertainment." 

Icy Road Publishing was formed to publish her work and that of K. A. Jordan
