About this ebook

This book is a collection of tales about the adventures of Elves (and a little girl) in Southern Colorado, a macabre tale of a Caribbean cruise (you wouldn''''t want to take), the hilarious (and sometimes sad) misadventures of Mr. Throttlebottom and his hapless wife Emma told in four short stories, and a longer alternate future Novella about how Mr. Howard Hughes managed to establish a very unique hotel using his recently purchased Queen Mary moved to a new location a little further South than Long Beach. Each story recalls vividly a real place in this curious and interesting world or some real event in history.
