Fred’s Books

Welcome to Frost Heaves: You can’t get there from here!

In the grand tradition of Bert and I, Mark Twain, and Lake Wobegon comes Welcome to Frost Heaves, a collection of semi-true tales, rumors, and outright lies from the most under-appreciated town in New Hampshire as told by Fred Marple, the town’s unofficial spokesman. From town meeting to the town dump, Frost Heaves is every small New England town you’ve ever visited, and a few you probably don’t want to. Readers have called it “absolutely hilarious,” “nonstop laughter,” and “a funny, witty, warm and wise book.”
