Legends of Wyoming for "Doing the E.T. Tango" - The Little People of the Big Horns

Most of the action for the book Doing the E.T. Tango: Dancing with the Universe takes place in the northwest portion of Wyoming. The book tells the story of a group trying to break into an Army base to recover proof of an alien landing and the government cover-up. As far as I know, there is no secret base and no alien spaceships or bodies hidden out in the far corners of Wyoming. However, there are legends of alien visitors, UFO's and other mysterious beings.

Please... Don't Feed the Computer

Many years ago John submitted articles to a local magazine called "Computer Edge". One of the articles that was accepted and paid for was Please... Don't Feed the Computer. The article was an early glimpse into John's quirky humor. I'd like to share this article so that readers can get another taste of his writing style.

Chapter 1 from "Doing the E.T. Tango: Dancing with the Universe"

Since John's Book Doing the E.T. Tango: Dancing with the Universe is his first published book we want to provide some content to allow readers to decide if the book is a good fit for their interests. Over the next few weeks we will be publishing chapters from the book, information about the the area around where the story takes place and some early samples of John's writing. To get things started, here is Chapter 1 Looking for Bill.

We are proud to announce the release date of November 26, 2014  for the eBook, Doing the E.T. Tango: Dancing with the Universe.

This release is the first step in our publishing and marketing efforts and we would like to ask your help in letting others know about this book.

Filtering Facebook Content Using Friends Lists

I have noticed comments about the quality, or lack thereof, of posts on Facebook. Over time I have used a combination of Facebook and browser tools to improve the quality of posts I see in my Facebook Newsfeed.  This is the first article, which describes how you see posts that you want instead of what Facebook, and their advertisers want you to see. I know that I get tired of seeing posts with links to articles such as  “A List Of 21 Things That We Want You To Scan Over While We Display Ads On The Side!!” or “Take This Quiz To Find Out What Kind Of Advertising We Should Push Out To You.” The information in this article is current as of August 2014.

Future Plans

After some years of retirement John has decided to start writing with his debut book of “Dancing with the Universe”. He is currently writing on other books, including another satire called “Elijah” and one about his life raising and teaching his autistic son. This book will focus on John and Tamara’s belief that a one-on-one relationship is one of the keys to working with autistic children. The purpose of the book is to share our family’s experience in dealing with autism when so little information was known and the outcome was grim.

The First Step...

This is Tamara, part owner of Shell Creek Publishing. I am slowly getting things set up to promote John's book, "Dancing with the Universe". We have decided to go with the self publishing route and to work on marketing this book and the others to come on the web. A Facebook page has been setup at Shell Creek Books. After many months it is fun to start to see the pieces come together. I have no idea how well we will do but I will certainly have learned a lot in the process.

Welcome To Shell Creek Publishing.

Shell Creek Publishing is the business side for publishing and promoting books authored by John and Tamara Harpster. John’s books are light hearted satires that take a different look at life in the USA.  Tamara writes essays for the site and is working on a fantasy novel. Our published books are meant to provide a good read at a good value for our readers and we look forward to creating more novels in the future.
