Mandy and Chippy: Go To Coconut Island

  • Jill Johnson is a first-time author. Originally from England, Jill likes to say she grew up like a hobbit in a tiny English town with a population of 80 people.

    She grew up near the coast and spent many happy hours by the sea. As a child she loved to write and make up stories, and as a young woman she churned out dozens of stories a week in letters shared with family and friends.

    Later she became penpals with her late husband before she joined him here in America. He had a captain’s license, and they enjoyed many years at sea during their 35-year marriage.

    Jill and her sister-in-law Mandy enjoy a wonderful and jokey relationship. Jill says, “There’s just something about Mandy that brings out the pest in me. We were cruising and began telling silly stories about our relationship and began to involve other friends and family and our favorite pet dogs. Mandy and Chippy was born of that silliness.”

Hattie Cotton School

  • On September 9, 1957, six-year-old Patricia Watson became the first black child to attend Hattie Cotton Elementary School, as a result of the court-mandated desegregation of Nashville public schools. Just after midnight the school was bombed, likely by the KKK supremacists protesting integration.

    Hattie Cotton School was published to memorialize the horrific event and honor Principal Margaret Cate and all those who helped guide students, faculty, and the surrounding community through the devastation and the difficult period that followed. 

    A poignant reminder of the anger and malice between whites and blacks during the 1950’s. The personal knowledge of one who was there lends itself to a solid understanding of who, why, and how they survived and prospered.

I Can’t Save You, And Don’t Want to Die Trying

  • The author wants the reader to understand, “Society needs to change how it thinks and feels about fire death. When a civilian is killed by fire it is not an act of God, and when a firefighter is killed it is not part of the job. When there is a fire death something went wrong. We must change to an Automatic Fire Protection Culture in the 21st century.”

    I Can’t Save You And Don’t Want to Die Trying: American Fire Culture is a road map that social, political, economic, and technological stake holders can use to reduce the loss of life and property from fire. From the fire house to the state house, from the boardroom to the living room we can all do better to prevent and survive fire.
