He was running errands, Did you think I was crawling over seats and pulling out my magnifying glass? We discussed the book when he returned, it belongs to his 13-year-old, and his ex-wife only allows her Christian romances.
We agreed that it was probably the only ones that the family saw and or knew about, and he said his daughter knew his sister, not her mother, was available for all the teen angst she might need help with.

Now that would be an interesting romance book!

I liked the part about the earth shaking like a quake myself!

The book or the bobcats?

@Angelface I was just joking about the cattle drive.

@hankster Sorry. Sometimes the forest eludes me because I'm concentrating on the trees.

My father had a subscription to a magazine called True something. It had the most ghastly bear attack stories! I used to wait each month for it to come so I could read the next adventure. Evidently, I was quite bloodthirsty back in the day!

@Angelface I had a friend in university who used to write for TRUE romance magazines. That was how he earned spending money. Yes, he - always submitted stories as a woman writing about her real life.

@pixiedust we might be related! I had a Missourian aunt who spent a good part of her life writing for True Confessions and always used their formula. I always thought it hilarious that a hard living, smoker/drinker wrote moralistic stories for a living!
I tried looking up on Google, my dad's magazine from the fifties, but without a title, I couldn't find much.

@Angelface Ray Bradbury wrote a short story about a writer of True Confessions style stories. In the end, it turned out that the she was actually committing the acts of which she wrote because she believed they had to be true.

I don't think anyone quite saw the ironies. Bobcats are similar to lynx and like lynx are built smaller, with tufted ears and are both nocturnal woodland cats and loners. The writer clearly had no real idea about bobcats or cattle or stampedes!

@Angelface I think you're right.
