Henry M. Schmidt has written a variety of stories about people that will enlighten some readers and entertain most. He writes about those folks who wander aimlessly thru life not thinking about having a purpose or a plan for success, and others that do.

There are stories that show the best side of individuals and some that can’t hide the fact that there are unfortunately those who are beyond saving and lead dangerous and often sad lives. The struggle to just get along with society is an ongoing fact of life... some succeed while others are almost certain to fail.

He hopes you will understand and accept the honest feelings that he has included in each and every tall tale about life.

Welcome to Jan’s World, a land of offbeat characters, quirky relatives, and unusual happenings and events that have shaped and patterned author Janet McCanless’s world for many years now. In Wyatt Earp, G.A.P. Pickles and Thoughts of Home, she writes lovingly of the many, many people she has encountered, known for years, or by happenstance, she is related to in a way that will make you laugh, cry, or wonder aloud about.

Her beloved South is not left unscathed either, and you will swear the same thing happened to you once as you read this delightful compilation of her newspaper columns, her magazine articles, and her humor presentations around the country.

Why shed a tear, when laughing is so much more fun and easier on the brain, is her motto, and she never met an incident she could not find humor in.

Come on along for the ride of a lifetime, and be prepared to be uproariously entertained and taught a few of life’s lessons along the way!
