Prairie Whispers

The strange noise sounded like bacon frying, or a baby’s rattle. The dogs, Kip and Towser, stood statue still just a few yards away. Poppa, his spade raised over his head, advanced toward us. My heard thumped in my chest. Fear coursed through me. Suddenly, when he was just a few feet away, Poppa swung his spade down in a cutting arc through the grass. He then stooped and I saw him pick something up from the ground. At first it looked like rope, but then I realized with a shudder, that it was not a rope, but a snake, a rattlesnake. Based on true events, Scott E. Miller’s debut novel vividly recounts the challenges and struggles faced by those courageous pioneers as they attempted to tame the wild Nebraska prairie and make a life for themselves.Miller, Scott is the author of 'Prairie Whispers' with ISBN 9781424147908 and ISBN 1424147905.
