Previous Books of Fiction
These stories came to Richard in his
dreams. It is hard to tell where they came from but
they are very entertaining reads.
A Skunk In The Garden!
This charming childrens story tells of
the friendship between a skunk and a
white floppy-eared rabbit and explores
the topic of prejudice and the impor-
tance of acceptance. I will give a free
copy to any child visiting our table.

C. EDWIN (ED) FENDER
IDYLLIC PERU: From euphoric highs (16,000+ feet)
to depressing lows (life-saving emergency surgery), Ed’s
Peruvian experience was anything but routine. With Machu
Picchu, the most visited tourist site in South America, as the
centerpiece, Ed takes us with him on daily exciting journeys
to mountain peaks, dangerous jungles and abandoned Inca
cities. This adventure memoir, with over 100 photos, is the
next best thing to actually being there!
INFINITE RIVER: Carl Finter, photographer, had a
magazine contract to shoot a few hundred shots during a
summertime rafting trip down the Rogue River. The long-
anticipated earthquake on the Oregon coast was only the
beginning of a series of events that would threaten his
life, bring true love into it, and propel him into deepening
mystery and intrigue that would extend millions of years
into the past!
ITALY CALLS: Lorenzo Costa is content with his life
C. EDWIN (ED) FENDER has always been a wordsmith.
After 40 years of technical writing, Ed fi nally retired and focused his
writing skills on adventure novels and memoirs. He and his wife,
Maureen, live in Eugene, Oregon and have a cottage in Yachats.
in Oregon. That life is turned upside down when the
grandfather he doesn’t know calls him to come to Italy to
take over his multi-billion Euro company. While en route,
he unknowingly smuggles data for arms traffi ckers. The
journey to fi nd his Italian roots and decide whether or not to
take over the business leads to romance and an adventure-
laced trip through Italy.
The
Legend
of
Fender’s
Garage
A memoir of Loren David Fender by C. Edwin Fender
In The Spooky Forest
THE LEGEND OF FENDER’S GARAGE: After
Bob Welch’s Beachside Writers retreat in Yachats in 2010,
Ed realized he was the only living person who knew the
amazing details of the story surrounding his father’s
Garage in the mountains of Colorado. He wrote the
memoir because he knew if he didn’t, the story would
be lost to history. This memoir has now been added to the
Jefferson County, Colorado, Historical Museum.
IN THE SPOOKY FOREST is a children’s book
featuring (and written for) three of Ed’s grandchildren:
Some strange white thing is moving around in the
“Spooky forest” in Yachats. The children are very curious
and want to know what it is. They convince Grandpa to
take them in to fi nd out what’s going on! Be careful,
Grandpa!
