Book Description

Mossy Creek Hometown September 1, 2009
Springtime brings thoughts of love to people all over the world, and Creekites are no exception. Although love to Creekites isn t necessarily romantic. Take, for example, how they feel about their pets. Dogs, cats, birds, and fish take center stage as we once again see how the Southern half lives. Your favorites are back and in just as much trouble as ever. Amos and Ida are still circling each other s wagons. Sandy Crane has a little Faith. Jayne Reynolds emerges from widowhood to take a long lingering look at Mossy Creek s Bubba Rice. Ed Bailey and his beloved dog Possum, Lil Ida Hamilton, Peggy Caldwell and others will make you laugh and cry at human and animal antics. Cat heists. Fish ponds. Bird nappings. Don t miss the fun with Critters of Mossy Creek!

Welcome To Mossy Creek!

The funny, heart-warming Georgia
mountain town whose slogan is
Ain t goin nowhere, and don t want to.

A few years ago, BelleBooks partners Debra Dixon, Deborah Smith, Sandra Chastain, Virginia Ellis, Donna Ball and Martha Crockett veteran authors with more than 100 romance and women s fiction books to their credit at major publishers decided to create a collective novel about a whimsical Appalachian town. Each author picked several characters to shepherd through the stories, and voila! A collaborative book was born.

The series launched with MOSSY CREEK, followed by REUNION IN MOSSY CREEK, SUMMER IN MOSSY CREEK, BLESSINGS OF MESSY CREEK, A DAY IN MOSSY CREEK, AT HOME IN MOSSY CREEK, and now, in September 2009, CRITTERS OF MOSSY CREEK.

Each book features the regulars plus a sterling group of outside authors. Mossy Creek contributors include bestselling novelists Sabrina Jeffries, Anne Bishop, Sharon Sala, Patti Callahan Henry and many more.

The series has garnered glowing reviews, book club, large print and mass market sales, and a devoted fan base who eagerly await the next book.

In November 2009 veteran Mossy Creek author Carolyn McSparren begins a spin-off Mossy Creek mystery series: THE MERRY ABBOT CARRIAGE DRIVING SERIES, with Book One: CART BEFORE THE CORPSE.

"In the best tradition of women's fiction, Mossy Creek points to a genuine spirit of love and community that is our best hope for the future." Betina Krahn, NYT bestselling author

A fast, funny, and folksy read. Enjoy! Lois Battle, acclaimed author of Storyville, Bed and Breakfast, and The Florabama Ladies Sewing Club And Auxiliary --Betina Krahn, Lois Battle

Innovative and warmhearted. Romantic Times BookClub Magazine

Take the time and make the effort to search out this unique and wonderful anthology, you won t be disappointed. Romance Reviews

Mossy Creek contains the stories of a town, interwoven like all lives are, through the voices of ten citizens. Each story is a gem in itself but together they add up to a priceless treasure to read. This entertaining book, threaded together by letters from the town gossip to a distant kin, offers insight to the human condition, an in-depth glimpse at southern hospitality and common lessons in life. The Best Reviews

Delightful.
Former Georgia First Lady Marie Barnes, wife of Governor Roy Barnes

Quirky, hilarious and all too human. Pamela Morsi, USA Today bestselling author --The Best Reviews and others

MOSSY CREEK is as much fun as a cousin reunion; like sipping ice cold lemonade on a hot summer's afternoon. Hire me a moving van, it's the kind of town where everyone wishes they could live. New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber

Written in the tradition of Fannie Flagg and Garrison Keillor, but in the voices of six different authors, this collection of short stories describes the people and setting of Mossy Creek and will appeal to YAs and adults who will enjoy recognizing characters of their own small town or youth. I highly recommend this truly spectacular collection of stories . . . this is a truly 'make you feel good' book. -- KLIATT

5.0 out of 5 stars Hubby's Review (Steve), December 13, 2009
This review is from: Critters of Mossy Creek (Mossy Creek Hometown) (Paperback)
"Critters of Mossy Creek" is book 7 in the Mossy Creek Hometown series. It is a collection of 23 short stories from the Mossy Creek residents about their pets. Mossy Creek is a small, eclectic town in Georgia, not your typical southern town. Residents vary from the Governor's family to a retired Army General to generational old family farms to immigrant families to the new townsmen, where new means not being not born in the county. Cats, dogs, a "killer" rabbit, koi, and an Amazon parrot are all featured in these sometimes inspirational, sometimes tragic, sometimes funny, and always full of humor stories.

The Mossy Creek stories are written by different authors. "The Critters" stories are written by Deborah Smith, Debra Dixon, Sandra Chastain, and Martha Shields Crockett. Each story is from a specific town resident and involves a pet, either the resident's own, or someone else in the story. Each story is unique. There are cat lovers, and dog lovers, and some that don't want pets, and some with a menagerie of pets. Some stories are in several parts, mixed in with the other stories that give in a chronological feel.

I laughed at some, had tears at one, and thoroughly enjoyed these stories. This is the second book I have read of the Mossy Creek series. I might not want to live there, since there really is no privacy is a very small town, but I really enjoy the characters and the interactions between them. Warning - I am a pet owner and have had cats, dogs, and parrots, so I might be biased. The characters, the plots, the humor, the emotion, and the consistency between the stories make this book a delightful and quick read.
