Marcha Fox

I read this book via an Amazon KINDLE Unlimited download.

Did you know that your grand-uncle Franklin rode with Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders? Did know that your late aunt Betty was a nurse in a MASH unit during the Korean War? Did you know your great-great-grandmother was a Suffragette? If you’ve said NO to these questions there’s only one reason and one reason for this to be the case. There’s been no one keeping track of your family’s history.

The truth is you’re not alone show more for there’s only a small minutia of families who have. I believe this is because most of us are under the impression there’s nothing special about our families. We’ve probably said that none of us have done anything important like becoming a member of a small town’s board.

But, there’s the rub. While none of us might feel we’ve done anything important, who’s to say that there won’t be in our family who will. And when that time comes, how will that future ancestor know who came before him and what they did in their lives; that individual would have a void in his life.

Ms. Fox in her book seeks to help us remedy this situation by giving her readers an easy to follow guide in how to go about creating a family history for our future generations. There are ways of going about trying to backfill information about our family tree, and the author gives information to doing this as well.

While this might seem like a demanding task it can easily be turned into a fun family activity to gather all the bits and pieces, including oral histories from various members of the family, regardless of where they might physically be.

For wanting to instill a sense of pride in our family for today and futures generations, I’m happy to have given Ms. Fox 5 STARS for her endeavor here. show less

This book sat in my "to read" library for the last six months and quite honestly, regret not having delved into this story much sooner. This my first book by Marcha Fox and was a joy to read. A spaceship, with three entities, crashes on Earth near Area 51 and those on board are quickly taken prisoner by the military. Theron is a telepathic plant that can think, walk, transport, communicate, and is smarter than anyone living on Earth. The other two, a human teenage girl and a robot complete show more the crew. The robot and ship were dismantled so the science used can be back engineered in hopes of duplicating it.

A botanist, Gabe, is brought it to study the plant and he soon finds himself best of buds. Gabe has the ability to telecommunicate and learns from the plant. During their bonding sessions, readers learn that Area 51 allows spaceships to land periodically to inspect the facility; representatives are part of an interstellar cabinet that is responsible for peace and safety throughout the galaxy. I soon thought that this book may be a portion of the movie, "Guardians of the Galaxy". At a risk to his career, Gabe helps the plant rebuild the robot and put together a plan for their escape from this planet. The man in charge of the facility wants them all dead and does everything in his power to stop them.

It's a fun story with a great ending. The author has a knack for making this story seem realistic...perhaps, it all is! Highly recommended if you are either a science fiction reader or somebody that just wants to see what the future might hold for them. Great job, Marcha! show less

Marcha Fox has knocked it out of the park with The Curse of Dead Horse Canyon Cheyenne Spirit. This engaging, entertaining, well written book with a well crafted plot is simply a fun mystery. The story line was presented in such a way that I wanted to see what would happen next. This book has everything, murder, corporate greed, a conspiracy, Native American and environmental issues all well told and interesting while mixing fact with fiction and Native American legends. It was very hard for show more me to put down even when I was reading this for a second time (yes, it is good enough to read more than once). The research Marcha Fox and Pete Risingsun did and shared is excellent. Treat yourself to a wonderful read and get this book. You won't be disappointed!
Thank you Marcha. show less

The Terra Debacle: Prisoners at Area 51
Star Trails Tetralogy, Book 7
By: Marcha Fox
Narrated by: T. W. Ashworth
This is an audible book I requested and the review is voluntary.
I haven't read the previous books but I had no problem with this book. It was a unique book in first contact, first contact with an alien plant life form. This plant life that thinks and communicates. It also travels. It is a very strange story (in a good way), I could picture this in a Twilight Zone show. No one but the show more scientist hears the plant communicate because the plant speaks directly to his mind. It is just silly enough, unique enough, and fun enough to work. Like I said...Twilight Zone....
There is a lot that goes on, it is weird and fun but totally out there but I had to keep listening. Great fun. The narrator did a great job of keeping this book going and not making it a comic or too serious. Just right! show less
