Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do invisible rats, aspiring rapists, axe-wielding gorillas, coffee shop ninjas and clown-faced kidnappers all have in common?

Download or read book Brood written by Rheba Walker and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2019-03-07 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brood is the true life account of an ordinary family who left the beautiful foothills and valleys of Mt. Judea, Arkansas, (commonly referred to as "Judy" for anyone who has a link to its past) and headed south into unfamiliar territories. This new world, also known as the great state of Texas, offered more suitable farming lands and the promise of a better future. With all earthly possessions stowed in covered wagons, the adventure began. Hope and happiness quickly turned to worry and fear as World War II dropped its uncertainties on the thresholds of homes already struggling to survive. The Heffley family was not immune to the sufferings of war. They did, however, summon the strength and determination to press on. While placing their deepest faith in God, they held tightly to each other. Today letters from another side of the world stamped "Air Mail" that were once received with hope and fear now lie in dresser drawers, their words fading. Photos, often removed, kissed and replaced, now crinkle with age without proper care. So many stories with so many characters, run the risk of being lost forever. Brood believes these family memories must be preserved and passed down to our children, grandchildren, and future generations. Brood is a collection of one family's most cherished memories that just might inspire you to discover, share, and celebrate your own family's history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ebundle includes the complete Extraordinaries series: The Extraordinaries, Flash Fire, and Heat Wave. Lambda Literary Award-winning author TJ Klune’s YA series, The Extraordinaries, tells a queer coming-of-age story about a fanboy with ADHD and the heroes he loves. The Extraordinaries: Some people are extraordinary. Some are just extra. Nick Bell? Not extraordinary. But being the most popular fanfiction writer in the Extraordinaries fandom is a superpower, right? After a chance encounter with Shadow Star, Nova City’s mightiest hero (and Nick’s biggest crush), Nick sets out to make himself extraordinary. And he’ll do it with or without the reluctant help of Seth Gray, Nick's best friend (and maybe the love of his life). Flash Fire: When new Extraordinaries begin arriving in Nova City—siblings who can manipulate smoke and ice, a mysterious hero who can move objects with their mind, and a drag queen superhero with the best name and the most-sequined costume anyone has ever had—it’s up to Nick and his friends Seth, Gibby, and Jazz to determine who is virtuous and who is villainous. And new Extraordinaries aren’t the only things coming to light. Long-held secrets and neglected truths are surfacing that challenge everything Nick knows about justice, family, and being extraordinary. Which is a lot to handle when Nick really just wants to finish his self-insert bakery AU fanfic. Will it all come together in the end or will it all go down in flames? Heat Wave: School’s out for the summer and a raging, malevolent heat has blanketed Nova City. Dark, twisted, probably evil shadows have drenched the doorsteps of her good people’s homes. And Nicholas Bell—fanboy, hero, ADHD-haver—is being super dramatic again. But something’s off, and Nick will need all his friends and loved ones together to uncover the truth before Nova City falls prey to the Burke family. A truth that will reveal a traitor in their midst and burn through their lives like a wildfire. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
