This is a neat place to talk about the Book, the Loft and of course, the Cottage Industry. The book is really good and we're working on the second one now. The Loft is a great place to get those special gifts or not so common things. The Cottage Industry is alive and well.

Sams publishes book he ‘found’ in move to Port Arthur
By Darragh Doiron

Squirrel hunting and adventure were goals I. Samuel Sams at 14. They’re the same as those of a teen character he wrote later, and named Sam.
Sams’ wife Linda said he dedicated “The Gunfighting Adventures of Tennessee Sam” to her, since she “did all the work.”
Of course Sam Sams, as the family calls him, composed the story, based on his youth in the Tellico Plains, at the foot of the Smoky Mountains. But that was 20 years ago, and he used a typewriter and scribbled notes. Mrs. Sams put it all into a computer and sent it away to come back a book.
As a child, Sams spent time on his family’s 11-acre spread full of timber, a creek for skinny-dipping and a canning house built into the side of the mountain. He had one horse named Ben and another called Hickomstick.
“We’d go swimming and mess around all day and come back,” said Sams, who is part Cherokee.
He’s heard tell that his grandfather died in the field, and his grandmother had to roll his body home in a bushel basket so bears wouldn’t get him.
As an adult, he spun that lifestyle into a story about Sam, who befriends a gun fighter who arrives in town at the same time as big trouble.
“I loved Louis L’Amour,” the author said about the great Western writer.
The book notes got put away and moved with Sams the Rockford, Tenn. native worked for Caterpillar tractors, then served as a police officer in Creve Coeur, South Pekin and Minonk, Ill. He became pastor of a Pentecostal Church in Minonk and visited family members working construction in Port Arthur.
He did some preaching at Breath of Life Ministries and got an invitation to do more. That’s how the Sams came to live in Port Arthur about nine months ago.
