In Spirit of the Valley the reader buys one ticket and takes two trips. One is through the sunny and tangible realm of a California oak woodland; the other is through the enchanting province of mythology. Both journeys lead the reader into a comfortable and charming country. 
Baxter Trautman transports the traveler with the black and white pen of science dipped in the colorful ink of myth. Throughout, words pave this journey through the landscape; from the relatively young, 300-year-old literary origin of the state name, to the Babylonian name for one of the brightest summer constellations. Backed with a comprehensive index and reference section, Spirit of the Valley offers a thought-provoking and entertaining read.

The Witness Tree

The Witness Tree is an unforgettable story of madness and miracles, of genius and genesis told by an ancient oak tree. It is a tale of twins, who are as different as they can be, and yet connected by a blood bond. It is a tale of art and obsession, and a search for a spiritual relationship with nature.

When a renegade East Coast bowling team moves into the sunshine state, the bowling buddies discover the ultimate weapon in their war against political correctness. They learn the secret of a dangerous new chemical that dissolves wood into piles of sawdust. They use it to inflict profound social change on bewildered Californians. In this whimsical and demented story from exciting new Georgia satirist Barbara Jones, nothing is sacred, and California’s only hope to restore its imbalance lies in a band of beleaguered exile attorneys whose laws don’t work anymore. 
In Moonlight Bowl Manifesto, self-appointed ligno-terrorists strike at the very heartwood of what makes California so weird. The ‘Easters’ decree: no more face-lifts, no more breast enhancement, and no more bottled designer water. Bowling shirts are the new dress code, and drug abuse is a thing of the past. 
Stand at ringside as Barbara Jones takes a tongue-in-chic swing at California’s absurdly square jaw with her wry humor and dry Georgia wit. 
Will the General Sherman Tree survive? Can Californians survive behavior reengineering and learn to use bus tokens? And where is the Federal government while the Easters deal a coup de maitre to reason and politics in the West?

Wolf's Rite

From the flatlands of Southeast Georgia in the 1950s comes this engaging tale of a boy’s journey into manhood. Stunned by the rejection of his sweetheart, he embarks on a journey of imaginary violence against those who have wronged him. As it escalates beyond his control, he must learn to trust that the universe is indeed unfolding as it should. 
In a time of innocence and cropping tobacco, before Birmingham, before the Freedom Rides, and before the Viet Nam war, when Elvis and Pat Boone ruled the airwaves, Buddy Barnes dances the Blue Jay in his efforts to become a man. 
In a quiet and grand way, Larry Hand has penned a universal metaphor for life, and taken the reader for a quiet look back down the road from whence we all came.
