Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second book in the exciting young adult series, The Adventures of Henry and Eulalie: Worlds Beyond, sees Henry and Eulalie further navigate the diverse worlds of Sun-Rhea, a land governed by reason and science, and the Wildlands, where magic and wonders abound. Henry’s unique ability to traverse these worlds allows him to battle a new evil that has been set loose on Earth. Along with Eulalie, his trusty fairy friend, and a colorful cast of characters, Henry must face new challenges to persuade Bif, a failed and mutated animorph, away from the cultish influence of Mr. Televangi, who seeks to further evolve his mind-control experiments on Earth’s malleable multitudes. Whereas the first installment in the series investigates the perils of groupthink, this second story illuminates the easy evils of the cult of the self, encouraging readers of all ages to instead seek balanced and enlightened thinking. This allows for resistance to both manipulation and vanity, to be neither tyrant nor pawn in our collective quest.

He has written several books, including Tokyo-do Shuppan Publishing's best-selling “Eigo de Pera-Pera Magic (Let's perform magic in English)”.Children's Bookwatch, Vol. 23, no. 2 (February 2013): ""Taro-San the Fisherman and the Weeping Willow Tree" is a beautiful, traditionally illustrated, bilingual children's tale written in Japanese and translated into English for children age 8 and up. Taro-San grew up as a boy sitting on a river bank under a weeping willow tree, fishing all day long. He wanted nothing more than to be a professional fisherman. However, when Taro-San is finally able to buy a boat and cast out to sea to fish, his nets come up empty for two weeks in a row! He decides to make a special pilgrimage to a sacred Shinto shrine. When he arrived at the beautiful O-Torii gate to the harbor of the sacred shrine, he enjoyed seeing the beauty of the setting. Taro-San crossed on a bridge to approach a special well, like a wishing well, where he respectfully wrote his wish to become a successful fisherman on a piece of parchment, dropped it into the well, and struck a bell three times to summon his ancestors to hear the request he made of them. A rainbow cheers and heartens him as he leaves the shrine. Soon he meets an old man who is a successful fisherman and asks him for his secrets for success. Here Taro-San discovers he has omitted an important step in his venture: He has not chosen a name for his boat. With the guidance of the old man, Taro-San chooses just the right name and paints it on the boat in Kanji characters. After that, Taro -San is so successful with his fishing that he can barely sail his catch home each day. What was the name he chose, the name that enchanted the fish so they came to the boat willingly to be caught? Of course, it was the Weeping Willow Tree. "Taro-San the Fisherman and the Weeping Willow Tree" is presented in both English and Japanese, beautifully illustrated with a traditional appearing style of delicately tinted paintings by Hungarian artist Andras Balogh. The story of "Taro-San the Fisherman and the Weeping Willow Tree" was inspired by a traditional storytelling art called "Nankin Tamasudare," in which a bamboo mat is used to represent many different figures in the story. For a visually stunning, multi-cultural reading-storytelling experience, "Taro-San the Fisherman and the Weeping Willow Tree" is an exquisite choice for juvenile audiences age 7 and up."

Book excerpt: It may not be obvious why someone like myself would write my memoir. I am not a famous person. I am not a professional athlete. I am not a politician. I am not even known in my local area of North Carolina. I do not fit into any of these typical categories of autobiographical writers. However, as in most people, I have a story to tell that is unique from many and common to some. We all have stories that people can relate to and sympathize with, if only we just tell them. I find a great relief when I learn that others have survived similar struggles that I am going through. I am living proof that it is possible to live through many things and come out the other side a better person...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "Pixie & Annabelle's Magical Adventure," young Pixie defies the age-old wisdom of 'don't talk to strangers'—especially if they're animals—and 'stay out of the forest' to embark on a whimsical quest. With her trusty stuffed dragon, Annabelle, in tow, she's determined to find out if her friend Madison's tales of a wish-granting mermaid are just fishy fables or actual fact. As they meander through the enchanted woods, chattering critters, a loving unicorn, and even a benevolent dragon join their escapade, proving that the forest is anything but an ordinary place. The ticking clock of the setting sun and the looming thought of grounded life back home add a dash of urgency to Pixie's adventure. Will she find the mermaid and claim her wish, or will the only thing she'll be catching is a scolding for her veering off without permission? It's a tale of curiosity, magical mishaps, and the age-old question: "Is breaking the rules worth the adventure?" Let's dive into the pages to discover if Pixie's tale ends with a wish come true or just a really good story to tell.

Book excerpt: “A Way to Garden prods us toward that ineffable place where we feel we belong; it’s a guide to living both in and out of the garden.” —The New York Times Book Review For Margaret Roach, gardening is more than a hobby, it’s a calling. Her unique approach, which she calls “horticultural how-to and woo-woo,” is a blend of vital information you need to memorize and intuitive steps you must simply feel and surrender to. In A Way to Garden, Roach imparts decades of garden wisdom on seasonal gardening, ornamental plants, vegetable gardening, design, gardening for wildlife, organic practices, and much more. She also challenges gardeners to think beyond their garden borders and to consider the ways gardening can enrich the world. Brimming with beautiful photographs of Roach’s own garden, A Way to Garden is practical, inspiring, and a must-have for every passionate gardener.
