Italian, For Dummies
The Duolingo app is winning over many populations, but I – personally- find a good old fashioned, paper language book a super handy complement to a daily Duolingo session. The mental💡clicks on as I scan pages detailing verb conjugation, “Ah- that’s why Duo wants me to translate ‘I eat’ that way,” and realize with horrorContinue reading “Italian, For Dummies”
Animal, Mineral, Miracle
Kingsolver writes nonfiction, too! This is about her family trying to eat 100% locally grown food for a year. I love it, and motivates me to emulate her goal as much as I can -without having to move to a climate with a 9-month gardening season. In one chapter, her family travels (including to Italy!)Continue reading “Animal, Mineral, Miracle”
Eat, Pray, Love

So, the Story Lorry will be parked until JuneContinue reading “Sick Story Lorry!?!”
Writing Challenge
We are supporting Butte artist Abigail Larson during July 1st’s Art Walk this summer, but I’d also like to feature writers. I believe art comes in all forms, not just sculptures or what you hang on a wall. The written word is a beautiful, creative expression that often gets overlooked at events like these. Therefore, I wouldContinue reading “Writing Challenge”
Free Sample of Sammie’s Strawberry
I’ve started reading “free samples” of books written by Montana authors on KBMF 102.5 FM -aired Mondays between 5PM and 6PM, during their News Hour. If you missed it, listen here!

Free Sample of Forever Neverland
There is a very limited number of this book left as the publisher is going to stop printing it for awhile, so if you like this sample, be sure to get your copy from the How Novel Story Lorry while you can!
