Hippies Stories

A group of hippies are gathered on a heath around a campfire when strange things start to happen..or do they?

Who knows what's beyond The Dark Mirror.

Calif. is the sequel to Miles From Nowhere, now available on Amazon and for your Kindle. Here's the teaser from the novel's cover: "It's 50 years since Woodstock. If you were there, they say you won't remember. I remember..." Miles From Nowhere is a hippie pilgrimage, the journey of a young man in poor health hoping to join the half-million strong. Recovering from kidney failure, Miles is hell-bent on Woodstock. After his father, Miles' transplant donor, succumbs to complications, Miles takes that long trek across the country, from California to New York, but the country gets in the way. In it, he finds love and lust, forgiveness, acceptance, communists, saints and sinners. Spoiler, Miles makes it to Woodstock, but only in time for Hendrix. Like all of us, you know, it's all about the journey. But what would the journey be without music? The rock 'n' roll of 50 years ago, from Hendrix to the Who to Otis Redding, is like a character in the novel, a soundtrack in words. Travel across the country with Miles and his hippie entourage, all the while singing about the rain and love and peace. Calif. continues Miles' story. Now an adult and truly on his own, Miles finally settles in, sets aside his nomadic ways, and finds himself working in a rock club in Santa Cruz. Away from his family, away from youth and his illness, Miles creates a new world for himself, but all the crazies from his past still mess with him and the reader gets to tag along as a friend. https://www.amazon.com/Miles-Nowhere-Woodstock-R-Stowell/dp/173079372X

A story of the summer of two young girls in 1973

Impoverished gas station owner Hektor Estevez cringed when he saw the VW bus pulled up to his dilapidated pumps. However, in the desert, business is business. Since the new highway went in, no one passes by any longer. Reluctantly, he served the three hippies. Stepping into the gas station shop, Greg Williams discovered an old map. A shortcut across the desert would save them time. Convincing his twin sister, Gia, and their companion, Tracey McMaster, to try it out, they continue on their way. But, Hektor Estevez knows better. The road the hippies chose will lead them straight to Whispering Springs, Nex Mexico. No one has set foot in the deserted ghost town for years.

How far will we make it? How far can we go? Just keep on running, or we will never know.

They believed in the air , the trees, the wind ,and the animals!

I'm not going to lie to you and tell you I'm "different". I'm not going to say I'm your "average" chick either. Want to know who I am? I'm me. Dream Elita Works. Not a damn thing more or less. Here's a heads up: this isn't your average paranormal/mythological/witch craft story here. No, this? This is reality.

I look up at the starts through the clearing, as the smoke of rom the fire clouds my line of sight. Running through my mind still was the question Charles had just asked. "Why does everything have to go downhill always?" I pondered this for many minutes. Maybe I don't know. Maybe I'm the only one who's never wondered about this. In August I would be heading to Yale and I didn't know how to answer this question. Maybe no one knows. Have people tried to figure it out? Probably. But maybe no ones ever tried. But is it possible? To know why good things always go to those who greed and to sinners of this race? Why do pissy people get to pick and choose and name the stars? Why do the most overrated people get the keys to the future? Why are some of us born underclassmen in a world that we can't change? Why hasn't anyone tried to change it? Maybe they just haven't tried hard enough... Not yet... Not yet they haven't.

The life of your imagination...

Hippies! The War! Poetry! Nixon! “This is a very raunchy but absolutely brilliant and hilarious hippy book set for the most part in the first couple years of the 1970s, primarily in Berkeley. At first I didn't think I was going to like this, but after I got about half way into Chapter 1, I was completely hooked. I had feared it might be stylistically-derivative of Kerouac and Kesey, but Ratch has his own distinctive voice and take on things. This book makes me homesick for a brand of freedom that is long gone. “This is a completely wonderful book... You'll love all these crazy characters. Tell all your friends they must read this novel. At a bare minimum it deserves the status of being a major cult hit.” -- Bob R. Bogle, Reviewer
