Welcome to WYLDFLOWERBOOKS! Established in 2010 as a hatchling and before I had grandchildren who could read my books. I'm dedicated to telling a tale with lessons to be learned in the 'subtlest' of ways; my books have been tested by old schoolteachers with a glorious tear in their eyes. As I mentioned in my original website, P. Palmer put me to 'task', and I received a crash course in college English as I had to defend my scribblings, word for word; I, definitely, learned my lesson! The resounding remark through all the years of listening to my mentors, along the way, was "Is this a true story?!". Apparently, I hit the 'hidden' reminisce button in their hearts and it inspired me to revamp them for my 'legacies'. Please enjoy my 'heart' and read on for yours. I am humble in my offering to you, as over the years, I tired of waiting for the limousine to show up and enjoyed my 'serious hobby', instead! This is a 'boutique' website (like a roadside fruit stand for books) and, again, my serious hobby...my email is jackzatarra@yahoo.com, if you wish to purchase copies with PayPal; each book is 8.5" X 5.5", and they make excellent birthday/holiday/reward gifts for young readers or your favorite 'mentor'. I will send you an invoice BEFORE you purchase the gifts. You'll find the price (shipping and tax included), page count and, most important, the responsible note of age appropriateness with each book. Simply put, anything with an (*) next to the page count should require the reader to have at leas t had the sixth-grade health science class. The copies that I've sold at book fairs are discussed with adults-in-charge to peruse the pages for their approval, beforehand. I hope to find you in my emails soon. I offer a great discount if the WHOLE collection is purchased, instead...check it out below! Jack Zatarra
