Summary
A wildlife documentary recorded in the Whitewater Valley—in The Blufflands of southeast Minnesota. The true story of a Muscovy Duck who followed a unique path into the wild and our hearts.
Hapless Harry, the Minnesota Muscovy Duck, is the diary of a duck’s life, documented with real photos, illustrations, and hand-drawn comics created by the author and based on her unlikely hero.
BLURB
The true story of a Minnesota Muscovy Duck, this documentary was created as a photo record, diary, sketchbook, and memory of sorts of our time together in the summer of 2009.
In the shadows of the scum-covered pond behind some swamp plants, the moment this author realized it was a Muscovy Duck peeking out, Hapless Harry’s future looked short.
Without a single flight feather, this extraordinary duck gave rise to the spirits of others, speaking their language, connecting with their hearts, and sharing answers to their every call.
We don’t know how Hapless Harry made it to shore through tributaries, ponds, or streams. But he and this author would not have crossed paths had he traveled in any other direction—or just a few miles further north to the Mississippi River.
During Hapless Harry’s brief visit here on earth, he taught us a lot about the human condition, how friends came in all shapes, sizes, and species. All their adventures are here, as witnessed and recorded through the eyes of a nature journalist covering her daily outdoor beat.
The author hopes this story will continue blessing those who find it, a reason to visit and re-read Hapless Harry: The Minnesota Muscovy Duck Documentary. A duck, who, in retrospect, may not have been such a lost duck after all.
“Finally, a story from nature where the underdog fights and wins a few battles anyway, before their last departure.” Lisa Loucks-Christenson
This is the last posting before the book, Hallowink Hollow: Rescue Me is released at the end of the month.
The Hallowinks have uncovered another clue, what does the “C” mean and is this some sort of code in the lettered clues?

DON'T EAT BEES!
Written and Illustrated in original pastels by Lisa Loucks-Christenson
Release: 12/23/2019
DON'T EAT BEES! Dale, the bee-eating German Shepherd, hits pay dirt when he unwittingly snatches up a tasty queen bee, and later, with the guidance of the queen bee's sister, Dale is offered the deal of a lifetime and beyond if he can promise to stop eating the local bees and raiding their hive—but can the foolhardy dog give up his bee-chasing and bee-eating habits forever and accept his heavenly reward...for all eternity?
Find out in Lisa Loucks-Christenson's DON'T EAT BEES!, a fictional tale told through 21 original pastel illustrations, which shares the heart of a dog as he learns about friendship, sacrifice, and their earthly and heavenly rewards.
Meet Dale, the authors' bee-eating German Shepherd, who unflinchingly ate as many bees as he could catch—all through his lifetime. Dale, trained for outdoor field work, for protection, and as Lisa’s companion, inspired this story, as well as the sequel, HEAVEN CAN REST!
At 1:30 AM on 10/31/2020, I finished my 4th Inktober book, a book I do in ink every day during the month of October. The Hallowinks in the Haunted Carnival, Volume 4; Hallowink Hollow™ Series.
During the month of October 2020, I created 62 new illustrations for two of my Art Comic series:
31 illustrations for my, Hallowink Hollow™ series, all created in ink
31 illustrations for my, The Courtly Cottontails™ series, I created in pencil.
In a few minutes, I'm starting my, 11th novel in my Wolves of Whitewater Falls™ series, my supernatural ghost town saga. This years book is titled, Winter Wolves. I never write out any of the story ahead of time, but I have been thinking about a strong opening. I'm hoping to have 65K-72K words completed by November 23, 2020.
This story opens with a scene that took place, for real, when my husband left my store, and within a minute or two, someone tried breaking my back window. It escalated from there, and I'm glad I hit my alarms when I did. I had only one weapon: my camera. I recorded the incident from there on, including his rage, his forcefulness, his hand behind his back.
The police caught him. He was "familiar" to them. He was a drug user and homeless. After throwing a rock at my first wind
