The stories we read as children shape us for the rest of our lives. But it is never too late to discover that transformative spark of hope that children's classics can ignite within us. Award-winning children's author Mitali Perkins grew up steeped in stories--escaping into her books on the fire escape of a Flushing apartment building and, later, finding solace in them as she navigated between the cultures of her suburban California school and her Bengali heritage at home. Now Perkins invites us to explore the promise of seven timeless children's novels for adults living in uncertain times: stories that provide mirrors to our innermost selves and open windows to other worlds.

As we do life in a post quarantine world, we seem okay on the surface, but we are boiling inside. Our social gages are sending warnings regarding our imminent spiritual and social malfunctioning. People are subject to pull the trigger in a mass shooting, cancel someone because they do not fully embrace their political, religious or social ideologies. When we misspeak or misstep, we expect understanding and coddling, but we have zero mercy for errors in others (do not mess up the “zero mercy” person's Starbucks order or else!). We seem to be increasingly desperate, discouraged by the higher cost of living, and searching for meaningful personal connections but we are unsure of who to conne...

For fans of Rick Riordan and Brian Selznick, author-artist Armand Baltazar introduces Timeless: Diego and the Rangers of the Vastlantic, the first in a new science fiction/fantasy series that explores a world painted new by the Time Collision.

The past, present, and future coexisting together. In...
Alexia Tarabotti, Lady Maccon, has settled into domestic bliss. Of course, being Alexia, such bliss involves integrating werewolves into London High society, living in a vampire's second best closet, and coping with a precocious toddler who is prone to turning supernatural willy-nilly. Until, that is, she receives a summons that cannot be ignored. With husband, child, and Tunstells in tow, Alexia boards a steamer to cross the Mediterranean. But Egypt may hold more mysteries than even the indomitable Lady Maccon can handle. What does the vampire Queen of the Alexandria Hive really want from her? Why is the God-Breaker Plague suddenly expanding? And how has Ivy Tunstell suddenly become the most popular actress in all the British Empire? Timeless is the final book of the Parasol Protectorate series: a comedy of manners set in Victorian London, full of werewolves, vampires, dirigibles, and tea-drinking.
A young girl's disappearance leads defense attorney Luke Garrison to suspect something far more disturbing than an open-and-shut case of abduction and murder--a crime so shocking it will tear one family apart . . . and divide one town against itself.
The basic subject is Renaissance--the Salvation Experience of Christ the Holy Spirit of God in human life. New Christian guidance examples in essays and poetry testifying to the truth of life with God: the reality of his Word, his presence as the Holy Spirit, and Jesus as Lord guiding my life, described in non-fiction life with Christ. This is the first, of this author’s 7-Logos Work of ten-volumes, each volume of which is able to stand alone as God’s Book of Life, portraying Life with the Holy Spirit by belief in the Christ of Jesus as Savior to eternal life with God. The author here continues his Story of Writing God's Book of Life, using nonfiction essays and poetry with the help of divine intervention in producing his seven Logos work of ten volumes, followed by four more, seeking to fully understand, explain, and publish this work inspired by the Holy Spirit, the Christ of Jesus. This work relates the action of God in fulfilling for him in seven years all of Rodger Crafton's dreams of becoming a writer of poetry and prose, an armchair philosopher, and an artist working in his new, upstairs garage atelier.
