The Frogs Song

The Frogs Song

The Frog's song

https://thefrogssong.com My publisher won't let me sell on a site, so you will find only fun stuff there, or out-takes. Of course I would love for you to buy the book, especially it you have ever dreamed of moving to a tropical island, if you have ever been in financial straights, if you have ever sifted sand, or watched a one-year-old smear caviar-like black sand on his legs. If you like horses, goats, dogs, cats, mongoose or wild pigs you might get a kick out of The Frog's Song. Oh yes, and frogs. The Frogs Song.com site is a chat room in the wilds, such as Hot Dog Guy set up on the Island at the Y in the road. Except here you will stay high and dry, as will your hot dog. Why were his the best hot dogs? It's in the book. What did the lady sifting sand tell me about "Aloha?" That's in the book too. Buying the book would benefit my mother--oh, she's in heaven, but smiling, my kids, they're here, my dog, my cats, my chickens--yep they would be fed, but mainly my publishing company. Aloha, Joyce

The Frog's Song has her own site https://thefrogsong.com

Why were his the best hot dogs?

It's in the book.
