TheBeer, Bugs & Backyard Shenanigans Collection gathers the Sawdust Sage’s humorous observations about cold drinks, questionable relatives, country roads, unpredictable pets, backyard pests, and everyday life when it refuses to behave. Featuring Six-Pack Psalms, Coolers, Cousins & Country Roads, and UNSTABLE CONDITIONS: Domestic Forecasts and Animal Fronts, this collection celebrates the laughter, minor disasters, and homespun wisdom found wherever the cooler is full and adult supervision is mostly theoretical.
Musings of the Sawdust Sage
The Musings of the Sawdust Sage™ Collection brings together thoughtful observations on work, creativity, aging, memory, and the marks we leave behind. Featuring More Than 9 to 5, Sawdust to Stardust, and Etched in Time, these essays and reflections explore a life shaped by careers, craftsmanship, hard-earned lessons, and the passing years. Thoughtful, occasionally humorous, and grounded in experience, this collection finds meaning in ordinary moments—and wisdom in the sawdust they leave behind.
Beer, Bugs & Backyard Shenanigans Collection
Six-Pack Psalms
Six-Pack Psalms raises a toast to the great unifiers of the rural Midwest-cold beer, warm friendships, and the occasional mosquito. From Midwest nostalgia poetry to laugh-out-loud campfire stories and poems, James Allen spins verses that wander from campgrounds and softball fields to bonfires and beaches, always circling back to the dented aluminum Coleman cooler at the heart of it all.
Coolers, Cousins & Country Roads
Coolers, Cousins & Country Roads |
Coolers, Cousins & Country Roads is a collection of short reflections, poems, and stories about the people you know, the places you’ve been, and the moments you didn’t realize you were keeping.
These pieces live in the everyday spaces where life actually happens: around coolers at tailgates, across kitchen tables, on folding chairs pulled a little too close together. They’re about cousins by blood and cousins by circumstance — the friends, regulars, and characters who show up often enough to become part of your story whether you planned on it or not.
UNSTABLE CONDITIONS: Domestic Forecasts and Animal Fronts
UNSTABLE CONDITIONS: Domestic Forecasts and Animal Fronts |
Unstable Conditions is a collection of reflections, poems, and quiet observations about the weather systems we live inside—both literal and human. The shifting pressure of family life. The sudden storms of grief, humor, memory, and grace. The way animals, children, and ordinary moments reveal truths adults often miss.
