About the Book

The LEGEND of Shiloh Woods is a Fairy Tale of present times. It takes a fresh look at the inner workings of nature. Do Fairies and Elves really exist? How do seeds germinate? What is time, anyway?

Set in the Ozark Mountains, this fun and fanciful tale speaks to ecology and environmental issues. A primer of metaphysical truths, it is intended to be both enjoyable and informative.

Readers are encouraged to keep an open mind while exploring the possibility that in nature things are not as simple as they seem. --more exists than is obvious.

The central character is a free-lance writer who is selected to convey ecology issues to the human population. In preparation for this role, he is educated through hands-on experience and interaction with creatures he previously thought existed only in myths or dreams.

Work and dedication, however, are not without reward. He attains happiness when an impossible romance becomes a reality.


About the Author

Joe Scavetti comes from a long line of storytellers. At an early age, he learned the importance of humor, surprise and timing in relating a good tale.

For the past twenty-five years, he has been a management consultant in human resources and employee relations. The woods have provided him that change-of-pace escape sought by the Chronicler in the LEGEND of Shiloh Woods.

Always active and involved, Joe Scavetti currently serves on his church board, as a district representative in the Masonic fraternity and as an officer of the Knights of St. Andrew. He was mayor of his community for a term and was, for several years, active in politics and scouting.

Native to the Ozark foothills, he has an affinity for forests, wildlife, mountains and streams. In his years as a Scoutmaster, he enjoyed observing the wonder and amazement experienced by city youngsters introduced to nature and the great outdoors.

Having an outgoing personality, typical of those born in Leo, Joe becomes the center of most groups. He is usually found telling jokes or making light of situations that have become too serious. Joe Scavetti believes life is worth living and tries to enjoy every minute of it.

He and his wife, Evelyn, currently reside in Edmond, Oklahoma, a suburb of Oklahoma City.
