About the Book

The Yard Sale Wars; The Flying Carpet Caper is a mystery with offbeat humor; two rare carpet merchants are found split from here to Oklahoma on Ophelia Johnson's white Mohair carpet. This brings about an estate sale of their business and their home. The resale shop owners are asked to come to the Anderson’s beautiful spacious home to purchase the interior assets. We walk into a beautiful house with pastel walls, high ceilings and grand rooms to find furniture which Kurt aptly called World War I Polish surplus.

About the Author

I have been in the used book business for thirty years. I started a new bookstore in Natchez, Mississippi. There I learned the book business. I sold the store and bought Snooper’s Barn Used Books. I owned and managed that store for twenty years. I then opened an upscale used shop in the Van Buren historic district. I feel I was instrumental in helping four women who now operate successful used bookstores learn the used book trade. I obtain most of my books through yard sales. I live on a houseboat with three cats in the Arkansas River where I write and foray out to find books for my shop.
