Twelve-year-old Trish can solve tough math problems and throw a mean fastball. But because of her mom's new job, she's now facing a summer trying to make friends all over again in a new town. That isn't an easy thing to do, and her mom is too busy to notice how miserable she is. But at her first baseball practice, Trish realizes one of her teammates is Ben, the sixth-grade math prodigy she beat in the spring Math Puzzler Championships. Everyone around them seems to think that with their math talent and love of baseball, it's only logical that Trish and Ben become friends, but Ben makes it clear he still hasn't gotten over that loss and can't stand her. To make matters worse, their team can't win a single game. But then they meet Rob, an older kid who smacks home runs without breaking a sweat. Rob tells them about his family's store, which sells unusual snacks that will make them better ballplayers. Trish is dubious, but she's willing to try almost anything to help the team. When a mysterious booklet of math puzzles claiming to reveal the "ultimate answer" arrives in her mailbox, Trish and Ben start to get closer and solve the puzzles together. Ben starts getting hits, and their team becomes unstoppable. Trish is happy to keep riding the wave of good luck . . . until they get to a puzzle they can't solve, with tragic consequences. Can they find the answer to this ultimate puzzle, or will they strike out when it counts the most?

Book excerpt: When West leaves his bedroom window open, little did he know his scent was luring the most ancient of species. It was a scent that the reptile had searched for its whole life. Through this window came Ral, the tiny leader and oracle of the Dragons of Asgard. This was a dragon clan that had gone unnoticed on Earth for thousands of years, awaiting the one called Zod, who was predicted to rise up and fight for the Dragons of Asgard, freeing them from their enemies grasps forever. Ral reveals to West that his clan of dragons will soon die out, because the Golden One, a massive golden dragon that awoke from its thousand year sleep, has begun to hunt them down, devouring their flesh and quenching its thirst with their blood to gain the tiny dragons unique powers. Ral speaks of a ship that was sent, but never arrived, which was to rescue the tiny dragon clan. When West and Michelle hear about a UFO crash that many eyewitnesses had seen over the city of Needles, California, they quickly put two and two together. West and his two friends decide that the only way to save the tiny dragons is to get their ship back and send them home.

This sci-fi/fantasy novel is based on a true UFO crash that took place on May 14, 2008 in Needles, California and can be read in a supplement at the end of this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “It is time to speak of that which we never mention: the prophecy, the omen, the fact that I have come of age…” In the decades since an innocent human slave was taken to Castle Dragon, against her will, for the sole purpose of bearing a son for the monarchy, much has changed in the Realm: Alliances made in secret have flourished; sons born of veiled paternity have grown to adulthood; and dangerous warlocks, seasoned witches, and cunning shades have risen to powerful positions. Yet all is not as it seems. Beneath the shadow of an eerie double moon, a dark, tormented evil is rising… Stirring. Awakening. A prophecy is beckoning: “It is time. It is time.” And a lethal dragon prince is growing restless to seize the throne of his bestial ancestors. King Demitri will never step aside. Mina Louvet—indeed, all the Sklavos Ahavi are caught between worlds. And the web of lies spun by the eldest dragon prince—the treachery, deception, and perversion—may very well spark a war of fire and fury unlike anything the Realm has ever seen—or hoped to survive. Great reward requires greater risk, and every beating heart will be wagered in this high-stakes game of blood and reckoning.

Book excerpt: Two lives, one hope. . . . All Sarah Lind's dreams now seem within her reach: not only is she welcomed back to the Six Realms as the Queen of Ice, she is now days from her marriage to their dragon-shifter King of Flame, and, united by their powerful bond, Sarah and Ben have so far thwarted the Devourer's attempts to ruin the Realms' recovery from its invasion. Yet there is still one more dream for her to discover. However new and growing, that dream proves to be one of the most potent, and, according to the Tree of Ice, the key to saving the Realms from the Devourer once and for all. For though a King is dangerous, a Queen is more powerful. Because she, like a Tree Herself. . . can become a mother. All Koriben Sunfilled's hopes now rest on the promise the Tree of Flame gave him that if he did as She commanded, Sarah—the one person he cannot live without—would survive the darkness coming for her. Yet his Tree's command tests him to his very core, because it echoes his parents' own sacrifice to give him life, the cycle he had once vowed would end with him. But after losing so much, Ben will now do anything to save Sarah. Anything. Even . . . become a father. As desperately as they want to live and save their Realms, Sarah and Ben resolve to have a child only for the right reasons. Yet even as they wait to be sure of rightness of that course, their time is once again running out, for the Devourer will not tolerate the growing threat the Monarchs of Ice and Flame pose. Sensing in them the culmination of millennia of Tree preparations for its final defeat, the Devourer has determined they must die—and it knows just how to lure the Queen of Ice into the open. The Devourer will invade once again, this time coming for the fading Tree of Ice, whom Sarah is sworn to protect. This time . . . . . . it is coming for Earth.
