In Grandfather We Trust is a story from the book Tales of What May Come, which presents future possibilities: strange new sources of knowledge, coming family issues, future dystopia, new laws and new crimes, and the trend toward educational provincialism. In each story lies a kernel of current truth, or perhaps truth yet to be, or even a warning of what may come.
Tales of What May Come can be purchased on amazon.

Stories by J. L. Warnock Cold Streets from the book Disquieting Notions
Monday Nov 02, 2020
Monday Nov 02, 2020
If you're the kind of reader who likes the occasional creepy, skin-crawly type of story that makes you look back over your shoulder or sleep with the lights on you'll enjoy these "disquieting" tales. Homicidal maniacs, twisted doctors, murderous misogynists, assorted tortured souls and even evil incarnate inhabit these pages. Perhaps you will recognize someone you know or, Heaven forbid, yourself. So dim your lights, or better yet, read these accounts by candlelight and allow the flickering flame to cast threatening shadows on the walls around you. You are sure to find something to titillate or terrify.
Cold Streets is from the book Disquieting Notions by J. L. Warnock and can be purchased at Magnolia Scents by Design, 106 N Pennsylvania Ave, Independence, KS 67301 or by calling (620) 331-8900. Check out their website: Magnolia Scents by Design

Judy Carroll grew up on a working farm in Kansas. After college, she worked in Wichita for Channel 8, KPTS and as a paralegal. After moving to Independence, Kansas, Carroll worked at a variety of part-time jobs before working as a paralegal for 28 years. She and her husband, Dan, are the parents of four children and have eight, soon to be nine, grandchildren.
These short pieces are taken from my blog, Family, Laughter and Laundry. As the mother of four and grandmother of eight, family is important to me. Laughter is important in a family, and whether, it is important or not, laundry is also a part of family life.
To Catch a Mouse
Who’s Afraid of a Big, Bad Spider?
What’s for Dinner?
A Remote Emergency
And How was your Day?
When Nature comes Calling
The Joys of Youth
Beautiful Freedom
