Book excerpt: The tale begins over three-hundred years ago, when the Fair People—the goblins, fairies, dragons, and other fabled and fantastic creatures of a dozen lands—fled the Old World for the New, seeking haven from the ways of Man. With them came their precious jewels: diamonds, rubies, emeralds, pearls... But then the Fair People vanished, taking with them their twelve fabulous treasures. And they remained hidden until now... Across North America, these twelve treasures, over ten-thousand dollars in precious jewels, are buried. The key to finding each can be found within the twelve full color paintings and verses of The Secret. Yet The Secret is much more than that. At long last, you can learn not only the whereabouts of the Fair People's treasure, but also the modern forms and hiding places of their descendants: the Toll Trolls, Maitre D'eamons, Elf Alphas, Tupperwerewolves, Freudian Sylphs, Culture Vultures, West Ghosts and other delightful creatures in the world around us. The Secret is a field guide to them all. Many "armchair treasure hunt" books have been published over the years, most notably Masquerade (1979) by British artist Kit Williams. Masquerade promised a jewel-encrusted golden hare to the first person to unravel the riddle that Williams cleverly hid in his art. In 1982, while everyone in Britain was still madly digging up hedgerows and pastures in search of the golden hare, The Secret: A Treasure Hunt was published in America. The previous year, author and publisher Byron Preiss had traveled to 12 locations in the continental U.S. (and possibly Canada) to secretly bury a dozen ceramic casques. Each casque contained a small key that could be redeemed for one of 12 jewels Preiss kept in a safe deposit box in New York. The key to finding the casques was to match one of 12 paintings to one of 12 poetic verses, solve the resulting riddle, and start digging. Since 1982, only two of the 12 casques have been recovered. The first was located in Grant Park, Chicago, in 1984 by a group of students. The second was unearthed in 2004 in Cleveland by two members of the Quest4Treasure forum. Preiss was killed in an auto accident in the summer of 2005, but the hunt for his casques continues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teddy's Mystery Mansion Plush Bear's Job: To Solve Ghostly Cases. Summary: In a quiet neighborhood, there is an old house that used to be full of grandeur but is now full of decay and rumors. It is surrounded by green hills and softly echoing forests. People in the town have been told not to go inside for a long time because of ghost stories and a strange history. But Teddy, a cute bear with a lot of interest and bravery, is drawn to the mystery. This is the start of "Teddy's Mystery Mansion," a story about bravery, adventure, and the search for the unknown. With his soft fur and bright button eyes, Teddy goes on an adventure that mixes fate and the supernatural. He is drawn to the house not by chance, but because he wants to solve the impossible mysteries that are hidden inside. Each chapter opens like a flower from the mansion's history, showing the world through Teddy's eyes and encouraging conversations that go beyond the spiritual realm. In his journey deeper into the house, Teddy meets people with different personalities. These are spirits trapped in limbo, each with a story to tell, unspoken grievances, and a desire for peace. At first, these ghostly beings are just scary tales, but they join Teddy in his hunt and lead him through secret gardens, whispering halls, and hallways that look like mazes. Their stories are deeply connected to the mystery of the estate. Teddy finds keys, both real and symbolic, that let him into the mansion's scariest hallways. He finally learns the truth about the haunting by facing challenges that test his bravery and resourcefulness. As he travels, his loyalty is put to the test, and he learns that bravery isn't being unafraid, but having the strength to face your fears. He also learns that friendship is eternal and doesn't care about the real or the imaginary. At the end of Teddy's trip, he has an epiphany that heals the broken souls and frees them from their earthly chains by shining light into the dark house. In a moving ending, the house goes from being a place of crying and whispers to one of peace and memories. "Teddy's Mystery Mansion" is more than just a story about scary puzzles and bravery from a stuffed animal. It's a touching story about kindness, understanding, and the strong bonds that hold our world together. When Teddy gets back home, he has learned an important lesson: going into the unknown can lead to amazing experiences, and facing the dark with a light heart is what real bravery is. Chapter 1: What You Hear in the Woods Not far away is the Whispering Woods, a beautiful spot where the trees sway softly in the wind and the sun shines brightly. This forest isn't like any other. The Whispering Woods, on the other hand, are full of stories, secrets, and magical hints. There are hidden things in the dark and old stories in the trees. This magical jungle was home to Teddy, a toy bear. Unlike other bears, Teddy had a brave heart and a never-ending desire to go on adventures. During a sunny afternoon game of hide-and-seek with his friends, Teddy went deeper into the forest than he had ever been. He didn't find the right place to hide; instead, he found something much more interesting. The trees seemed to bend toward him as he went deeper into the forest. They shook and mumbled as if they were trying to tell him a story. Teddy was drawn to him because he liked to try new things. He thought he could almost hear the trees calling him to find out what they were hiding. Then, as if by magic, he saw it: a strange house hidden among old trees. Its windows looked like eyes, and its tall towers stood watch over the sky. Teddy found it, and it looked like it had been there for hundreds of years. The house had an eerie beauty, with ivy growing up its stone walls and shadows dancing across its front. The house looked like it was part of the forest, and it was hiding secrets that only the bravest people could find. Teddy knew this wasn't a normal find because his button eyes were sparkling with excitement and the wind was teasing his soft hair. It seemed like every room in this house had a story or two to tell. They were magical and exciting stories. Teddy, who loves to try new things, couldn't say no to the offer. He was drawn to the house by the way his feet looked like bears'. He was excited to see what was inside those old walls. As Teddy got closer to the front door, he noticed that the air was getting colder and the sounds of the forest were becoming quieter. Everything in the forest seemed to be holding its breath, eager to see what Teddy would do. The house stood still in front of him, its door slightly open, as if to welcome him inside. Teddy stopped for a moment, thinking what adventures and secrets were inside. But soon, his desire to explore won out. He took a deep breath and pushed the door open. He was ready for the most exciting adventure of his life. This is where Teddy's journey through the Whispering Woods started. This is where the magical and the everyday were mixed, where stories were hidden everywhere, and where shadows told old secrets. Teddy was excited to find out what was hidden behind the walls of the house. The sounds of the trees had led him to this wonderful place. He was brave and curious about the secrets of the mansion. Chapter 2: Welcome to the Front Porch Teddy, the cute bear with a spirit for adventure, had no idea what was in store for him when he got to the strange house in the Whispering Woods. When he bravely walked up to the mansion's front door, something wonderful happened. The boards under his feet buzzed and squeaked, as if they had just woken up after a long sleep to meet him. Like the first notes of a new song, Teddy saw the sound as a call to start an experience he had always wanted, even though it might have scared other people away. It got colder around Teddy, and there was a light breeze blowing around the porch. It was like the house could feel his brave heart and curious mind. It was strange for Teddy to see a ghostly figure slowly appear in front of his eyes. It wasn't a scary ghost, though. This ghost, on the other hand, looked smart and nice, like a cat. Its eyes sparkled like stars in the night sky, and its tail was clear and waved gently. This was Sir Whiskers, the ghost cat who kept the mansion's secrets safe. Sir Whiskers bowed very low to Teddy in a way that didn't make sense. This show of respect and hospitality made Teddy feel both humbled and interested. Sir Whiskers spoke with a kind and clear voice, passing on knowledge and mysteries from the past. He talked about hidden passageways and doors that were locked all over the house, ready for someone brave enough to find them. Teddy was already very interested, but hearing what Sir Whiskers said made him even more so. It was impossible to say no to the allure of a treasure hunt inside this grand house, where each room had its own history and mystery. Teddy paid close attention as Sir Whiskers gave him hints and clues. Each one added to the bigger picture of the mystery at the house. Teddy was shocked by how comfortable the ghost cat seemed to be. Because of something about Sir Whiskers, Teddy felt like he was meant to be standing on this porch, about to start an adventure beyond his wildest dreams. It was Sir Whiskers' welcome that got people to move, to come into a world where the past and the present lived together and stories were everywhere. When Sir Whiskers left, Teddy became very determined and promised to come back when he needed help. He was no longer a toy; he was now a ghost friend, an investigator, and an explorer. He also had stories to tell. The porch creaking under Teddy's weight seemed to be the mansion's way of saying, "Go on, I have many stories to tell you." The cool air turned into a shiver of excitement. This event on the front porch was more than just a bear and a ghost meeting. It was the start of an amazing trip. With that thought, Teddy knew that his next quest would involve more than just finding secret keys and opening doors. It was about learning about the people who have lived in the house and how it works on the inside. Teddy took a deep breath, then walked forward, ready to figure out the problems that were there. The cat that had open arms for him, Sir Whiskers, led him in a soft, ethereal whisper. Chapter 3: The Grand Foyer Teddy, the brave and curious stuffed bear, walked into the mysterious mansion's beautiful hallway and was quickly surrounded by a sense of mystery and grandeur that he had never felt before. The passageway in front of him was huge and scary. The ceilings looked like they went up to the sky, and shadows moved over the walls as if they were alive. Teddy looked like he had gone to a different world where ghosts from the past were everywhere. The most interesting things about the long hallway were the pictures that were on the walls of it. These paintings were not like other art. Instead, they were like windows into the mansion's soul, each holding a piece of its past, happiness, and sadness. As soon as Teddy saw the first picture, something strange happened. The picture of a well-educated woman smiling softly started to mumble. Teddy heard a sound that was both soft and important. It sounded like leaves moving in the wind. The woman in the picture talked about the mansion's long past of both comedy and tragedy, as well as its hidden passageways and stairs. When Teddy moved from one picture to the next, each one came to life and told Teddy its own story or secret. The pictures showed an old man whispering love notes that were buried in the walls of the mansion, a little boy telling stories about secret playrooms and tunnels, and a brave knight telling stories about wars that were fought and won. Each picture not only gave Teddy clues to help him solve the estate's mysteries, but it also told him something about the past of the mansion—the loves and lives of the people who had lived there before.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extraordinary memoir about finding wonder in everyday life, from magician Nate Staniforth. Nate Staniforth has spent most of his life and all of his professional career trying to understand wonder--what it is, where to find it, and how to share it with others. He became a magician because he learned at a young age that magic tricks don't have to be frivolous. Magic doesn't have to be about sequins and smoke machines--rather, it can create a moment of genuine astonishment. But after years on the road as a professional magician, crisscrossing the country and performing four or five nights a week, every week, Nate was disillusioned, burned out, and ready to quit. Instead, he went to India in search of magic. Here Is Real Magic follows Nate Staniforth's evolution from an obsessed young magician to a broken wanderer and back again. It tells the story of his rediscovery of astonishment--and the importance of wonder in everyday life--during his trip to the slums of India, where he infiltrated a three-thousand-year-old clan of street magicians. Here Is Real Magic is a call to all of us--to welcome awe back into our lives, to marvel in the everyday, and to seek magic all around us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unflinching account—in words and pictures—of America's longest war by our most outspoken graphic journalist Ted Rall traveled deep into Afghanistan—without embedding himself with U.S. soldiers, without insulating himself with flak jackets and armored SUVs—where no one else would go (except, of course, Afghans). He made two long trips: the first in the wake of 9/11, and the next ten years later to see what a decade of U.S. occupation had wrought. On the first trip, he shouted his dispatches into a satellite phone provided by a Los Angeles radio station, attempting to explain that the booming in the background—and sometimes the foreground—were the sounds of an all-out war that no one at home would entirely own up to. Ten years later, the alternative newspapers and radio station that had financed his first trip could no longer afford to send him into harm's way, so he turned to Kickstarter to fund a groundbreaking effort to publish online a real-time blog of graphic journalism (essentially, a nonfiction comic) documenting what was really happening on the ground, filed daily by satellite. The result of this intrepid reporting is After We Kill You, We Will Welcome You Back as Honored Guests—a singular account of one determined journalist's effort to bring the realities of life in twenty-first-century Afghanistan to the world in the best way he knows how: a mix of travelogue, photography, and award-winning comics.
