The Asquinn Series
These stories of and from the heart are true, as they sprang from an incident that happened to the author as a little girl in Ontario. As a result, Brooks has a deep respect and admiration for the Ontario Provincial Police. This entire series is dedicated to them.
Number 1. The Asquinn Twins Come To The James Bay Frontier
This story takes place in the vast area of ‘New” Ontario, Canada in the mid-forties.
The Asquinn Twins, three year old Marty and Martha, along with the rest of the family, arrive in the James Bay Frontier, with their father, Obediah Asquinn, who is a missionary. This is a captivating story where the the side of good has a winning victory.
Number 2. The Asquinn Twins and Where The Trail Forks
The Asquinn Twins and Where The Trail Forks pictures the hardships Christian parents encounter raising children in the 1960s when this story takes place. In another book the two boys, Kenny Asquinn and his life long friend, Matty Turehue were betrothed to two fine young Christian girls: Ken to Matt's ten year old sister, Sherry and likewise Matt to Ken's sister, Martha. After Pastor Asquinn married the two couples and the newlweds were preparing to leave, ken's words to his father were, "This is where the trail truly forks…”
Number 3. The Asquinn Twins and No Greener Pastures
The girls, Martha Asquinn and Charlotte Turehue are now married to the boys they had betrothed themselves to at age ten. The boys have graduated from police academy and members of the world famous Canadian Mounties; but are they happy? The boys are still far from their walk with God they enjoyed as young boys. They still shun going to church and even the thought of there being a God in heaven. Their conduct was unlike Christians should indulge in. Ever since leaving their church and home ties in Forest Lake in the east, the boys had run into nothing but one disaster after another. They had left Ontario and Forest Lake in the first place looking for greener pastures but had not found any. And just like Pastor Asquinn predicted in The Asquinn Twins And Where The Trail Forks, when the boys left they would be back with their tails between their legs. And to top this off; an old man had been watching the boys live their lives all along. Chester Greene had watched the boys when they enjoyed fellowship with God as young boys then backslide as they entered their teens and high school, then be brought back to the fold. Chester Greene was also saved to walk in God’s green pastures.
Number 4. The Asquinn Twins and The Exchange Student
The original Asquinn children have grown up, married and raising families of their own. The twins are now fifteen-year-old Caleb and Korah (Core) adopted sons of Eric and June Asquinn.
It was the first day of school and the group of boys, all in the same room at Golden Ridge Baptist School, is excited, as they found out today that the host family for an exchange student is the twins’ family. Most of the kids in the class are happy for the twins; others are jealous.
Read all about this exciting drama, and also read about Greg's accident on the ice and the mysterious story of the missing lens!
Number 5. The Asquinn Twins and The Lynx
Fifteen-year-old Asquinn twins, Caleb and Core, find a lynx kitten alone after poachers have captured its mother. Soon our twins become involved with a piracy ring: kidnapping, intrigue, drama, rescue and finally the release of the mother lynx and her kitten back into the wild.
Number 6. The Asquinn Twins and The Runner of the Snow Desert
Larry took it upon himself to get a job. His choice was at Sun Dog kennels, owned by Owen Winschell Sr. and his son Owen Jr. The Winschells raised purebred Canadian Eskimo Dogs and Alaskan Malaumutes; they also ran their teams in as many races as they could. Larry, being half-Indian loved the outdoors and felt working with dogs, as well as along with Owen and his father in their logging business, was just the job for him. It wasn’t long before he had an encounter with Kirby Weston and Hugh Burgess, two seventeen-year-old high school drop-outs with lots of time on their hands. As expected, the twins, Caleb and Core Asquinn and their cousin soon got involved and find themselves trapped in abandoned cabin to freeze to death. And this is just the beginning....
