Life is a River
~ The Children of the Creek Trilogy ~
Book Three
by Todd Parnell
WHAT IF . . .
What if Hardlyville is real? Really real?
What if fiction dies at her doorstep, and merges with reality through the portal?
What if an author can descend into her own creation and be greeted with open arms by the
children of the creek? Ms. Randi Pflander, author (fictional) of the Ozarkian Folk Tales
Trilogy as well as the Children of the Creek Trilogy, is about to find out.
From Presidential politics to Hollywood drama, Life is a River will surprise, engage, and stretch your imagination.
Rowdy, insightful, and grounded in Ozarkian waters and history as always-hang on for a wild ride!
The Children of the Creek trilogy by Todd Parnell
tackles important contemporary issues in the
rich and colorful context of the Ozarks.
Praise for Life is a River
"Few people are more passionate about the Ozarks—both the physical region and the Ozarks
on the page—than Todd Parnell. His deep roots in the region, his devotion for its waters,
and his appreciation for the late master Donald Harrington show through in his Children of the
Creek Trilogy."
~ Dr. Brooks Blevins, Professor of Ozarks Studies, Missouri State University
"This new trilogy, Children of the Creek, continues Todd's passion for sustaining our water
resources. It's set in the context of a bizarre and quirky story, both spoof and satire on
contemporary politics, culture and small towns in the Ozarks."
~ Dr. John Moore, Jr., former president of Drury University
