Letters from Wishing Rock (a novel with recipes) (Wishing Rock #1)
print version
print version
Pam Stucky's charming
debut novel is already garnering rave reviews and demands for book two
in the Wishing Rock series. This engaging, fun read is written in the
format of letters/e-mails amongst characters. It combines the easy
readability of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and the
sassy, irreverent tone of Bridget Jones' Diary, with the slice-of-life
sensibilities of Alexander McCall Smith's 44 Scotland Street or Ladies'
Detective Agency series.
What would happen if everyone in town lived in the same building? Ruby Parker is about to find out. Her fiancé has left her and she needs a fresh start, so she moves to Wishing Rock, Washington, a small town on Dogwinkle Island in the waters near Seattle, where she meets a quirky cast of characters who quickly become family. Letters between the neighbors and their friends chronicle the twists and turns of the characters’ daily lives. There’s Jake, a handsome and charming first-year medical student who catches Ruby’s eye from the start, despite his being over a decade younger. Millie, a Wishing Rock resident for forty years, runs the town’s library, post office, newsletter and grocery store, knows everyone and everything, and shares the history of the area with her playful wit. World traveler and psychic Alexandra bestows insight and wisdom with humor and compassion, and Ruby’s Gran heads to the United Kingdom, heeding her own advice to seize the day. And then there’s Ed; if something fun is going on, the grandson of the town’s founding father is likely at the center of it. Amidst all this action, Ruby manages to find passion and companionship, but will she be able to open her heart to love?
Online dating, a group trip to Scotland, a discussion about dogwinkles, a fateful hoedown, and friendships old and new, all interspersed with recipes from some of the town’s best cooks, make Wishing Rock come alive in this delightful and insightful look at life, love, relationships, and community.

The Wishing Rock Theory of Life (a novel with recipes) (Wishing Rock #2)
print version
print version
In Pam Stucky’s debut novel, Letters from Wishing Rock, readers fell in love with the quirky residents of Wishing Rock, Washington – an island town where everyone lives in the same building. Now the cast, the shenanigans, and the wisdom are all back in The Wishing Rock Theory of Life.
Fresh off their auspicious adventure in the Dogwinkle Days parade, Ruby and Ed are suffering a few growing pains as they settle into their new relationship. Gran and Liam, on the other hand, are blissfully traveling through Switzerland, savoring the fondue, the chocolate, and the mountain life. Pregnant Pip is adapting to her new home in Scotland with husband Captain Gavin, while back at Wishing Rock, Erin is struggling with life and psychic Alexandra is faced with an incident that could change the course of her future. In an effort to cope with this development, as well as help Erin, Alexandra leads the poker gals in a campaign to step outside their comfort zones and experience new adventures. Along the way, life in Wishing Rock hits a curve when a mysterious woman shows up in town making a shocking claim.
As in the first novel in the series, letters between the neighbors and their friends chronicle the twists and turns of the characters’ daily lives, and are interspersed with recipes tried and tested by the characters themselves. Buried treasures, secret pasts, and the detritus of affairs of the heart all come to light in this witty and wise novel that explores fear, forgiveness, risk, dreams, trust, and love.

The Tides of Wishing Rock (a novel with recipes) (Wishing Rock #3)
print version
print version
Following the award-winning Letters from Wishing Rock and The Wishing Rock Theory of Life, Pam Stucky’s latest novel, The Tides of Wishing Rock (a novel with recipes) completes the much-beloved Wishing Rock series. Ruby, Ed, Alexandra, Gran, Erin, Millie, Pip, and all the rest are back in this third novel set in Wishing Rock, Washington, a tiny town in which everyone lives in the same building. Wit, wisdom, and recipes are once again highlighted in letters between the neighbors and their friends, chronicling the twists and turns of the characters’ daily lives.
Ruby’s relationship with Ed continues to grow, but will those growing pains send her back into the arms of Jake, the town’s young doctor-in-training? Erin needs a change of scenery and escapes to Hawaii for whale watching, coconut cocktails, and sunrise runs, but will what she finds at the end of a long winding Maui road change her life? Ed and Alexandra both take on the complexities of family secrets and long-lost relations, while spry Gran decides to let her life take a new turn. Holidays at Wishing Rock provide the close-knit community opportunities for reflection and gratitude, and a spontaneous road trip on a visit to Ireland leads Ruby and Pip to a surprise encounter with the Northern Ireland police. Amidst it all, Millie declares a National Wishing Rock Day, which Alexandra and David enhance with the town’s first annual Wishing Rock Olympics. Community and relationships form the core of this heartwarming novel filled with fun, food, and friends.

Large Wisdom Rocks - custom orders
I also make large individual Wisdom Rocks, custom to order. These are generally 2" to 3", some larger, some smaller (after all, they're rocks - they're natural!).
Whether you want a whole twenty-rock set (like the smaller Wisdom Rock sets), individual words, someone's name, one rock or five or fifty, most likely I can make it happen. The biggest challenge is often finding the right rocks - which I do myself, in endless hours combing the beautiful beach.
If you'd like to talk about a custom order, use the CONTACT form below and let's start the conversation!
NOTE: Due to shipping costs, ordering more than one rock might be more cost-effective for you, but let's talk and see what we can do!

Wedding (or other celebration) favors - custom orders
As with above, rocks made to order, just for your special occasion! Picture at left shows rocks ranging from about 1.5" to 2.5" on which I wrote "Live • Laugh • Love" for a bride and groom for their wedding favors. You could have one to three words written on one rock (we'll discuss logistics), or several rocks in a decorative bag, each with a special word, the names of the bride and groom, children's names, places, wishes, anything!
If you'd like to talk about a custom order for your wedding or upcoming special celebration, use the CONTACT form below and let's start the conversation!
NOTE: They're rocks, so shipping isn't the cheapest. However, with the USPS "if it fits, it ships" boxes, shipping isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was able to fit 150 of these rocks into one large- and one medium-sized boxes, totaling about $30 for shipping 150 rocks.
