Are mermaids real? For generations, children have wondered whether mermaids might exist somewhere beneath the waves. In Luna and the Lost Cove (Tiny Torch Books, an imprint of Collective Books Studio/distributed by Simon and Schuster; November 10, 2026; ISBN: 978-1685554415; $19.95 Hardcover), debut author-illustrator Aria Joy Prichard answers that question with a magical "yes," inviting young readers into an enchanting underwater world filled with wonder, mystery, and heart. A dazzlingly illustrated picture book, Luna and the Lost Cove unfolds as Luna finds an old map that rekindles memories of her grandmother's stories about a legendary hidden cove, and she embarks on an unforgettable adventure with her best friend, Lemon. What begins as a search for a magical place soon becomes a journey of courage, discovery, and hope. Along the way, Luna learns that even the smallest voice can make a meaningful difference. Faced with a challenge larger than herself, Luna must find a way to inspire those around her. Through friendship, determination, and a willingness to see the world differently, she discovers the power of community and the importance of caring for the places we call home. Luna and the Lost Cove is a celebration of individuality, friendship, courage, and community, reminding young readers that even the smallest among us can create meaningful change.

The New York Times bestselling author of One Minute to Midnight Michael Dobbs reconstructs the thrilling inside story of the climactic nuclear crisis of the Cold War, revealing the tension between "the human in the loop" and the algorithms that could trigger World War III.The year is 1983. Ronald Reagan is obsessed by biblical prophecies of Armageddon. A computer revolution is changing everything-from the way we track incoming ballistic missiles to how we share and consume information. And then, over just three months, a series of dramatic events encapsulates the president's worst nightmares.In rapid succession, a South Korean airliner is shot down over the Soviet Union after straying off course because of pilot-computer miscommunication. A glitchy Soviet early warning system mistakenly reports an incoming US missile attack. The Kremlin puts its nuclear forces on high alert in response to a routine NATO nuclear release exercise. Reagan deploys missiles capable of destroying the Kremlin in six minutes from their launch positions in West Germany. Soviet nuclear submarines are stationed off Cape Hatteras, ready to obliterate the White House in the same amount of time."Six minutes to decide how to respond to a blip on a radar scope and decide whether to unleash Armageddon!" Reagan recalled many years later, in a little-noticed passage in his memoirs. "How could anyone apply reason at a time like that?"In The Six Minute War, the former Moscow bureau chief for The Washington Post explores the challenge confronting fallible human leaders responding to ever-shrinking warning times of a nuclear attack. A nail-biting narrative of the Cold War crisis that heralded the fall of the Soviet Union, The Six Minute War poses an existential question: can we trust the machines at such life-or-death moments-or will we be destroyed by our own technological hubris?

My Grandma Dobrenz is best remembered in my heart as being the one who sat in the same chair, the same room with the same blanket on her feet. But that doesn't define her life. When we reach that point of well-deserved rest. But, at what age does it begin its process of putting your entire self in a chair with a blanket over your feet?

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   I’m not a smoker but I’ve noticed the high price of cigarettes…why are they charging so much per pack?  Plus… speaking of too much.  Why are there so many music award shows plaguing our flat screens?   I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…

LICORICE is a fantastically kid-friendly, light psychological horror about fitting in, standing out, overcoming fear and finding a place called home by award winning author, Kara LaReau. Previously recognized for her chapter book series, LICORICE  is her first book for the middle grade audience. Kitty, a young and frightened kitten, finds herself at the Mount Charles Animal Shelter after a storm swept away her forest home and family. It isn’t all bad, though. The shelter has warmth, food, and the overbearing and terrifying presence of Bunny Van Hopper, her cage neighbor. Then, Max appears. Max has a reputation for adopting pets from the shelter and bringing them to his home on 5 Manderley Lane where he gives them a life of kindness and treats. Out of all of the animals at the shelter, Max decides to bring Kitty home. As Kitty is carried off to her new home, she hears Bunny Van Hopper’s bitter cries: “You’re going to regret this! I just know it!” And perhaps Bunny is right… Five Manderley Lane is haunted by a scent of Licorice, from every chair leg, every carpet fiber, every throw pillow, even inside the bathtub. It is the strongest upstairs in Max’s room, almost overpowering. It also doesn’t help that Duchess, the family’s old parrot, won’t let Kitty forget that she is a replacement. Is this just a shadow of the cat who occupied the home before? Or is there really something on the other side of it haunting her?

Maybe it's just me... I don't like focusing my energy on locating the answer to the question, "How are you doing?" It's a 50/50 shot that I or anyone else is going to share the truth.
