  • Wolf's Quest by Don Baldwin
    A feral child named Wolf is being raised by wolves deep in the forest, until he is suddenly whisked away to a subterranean netherworld by the Tuatha De Danann; a strange and elusive race. In this otherworldly realm, where mortal time moves imperceptibly quickly, these 'ever-living ones' raise and train the boy for their own ends; returning a formidable stealth-warrior, back to the world of men.
    In Wolf's absence, Ireland has become a more dangerous place, as the Vikings strive to gain control of the country. However, a young southern commander called Brian Boru and his enigmatic counsellor, Amergen, mean to thwart the Viking' plans. But they desperately need Wolf's particular set of skills for a perilous mission deep into enemy territory. And so they set a trap to ensnare Wolf and his daring band of Rangers.

  • Modern Day Liberalism by JD Mitschke
    Did you know?
    ● It is Emotion that drives all behaviors and actions of each and every individual!
    ● The Emotions that drive each individual’s every behavior and action originate from an
    inborn instinctual foundation of only FIVE primary Emotions!
    ● When an individual is subject to emotional repressions or a person has learned faulty beliefs about the emotions and as a result thereof exhibits incongruent behavior which now originates from a foundation of distorted emotional attitudes—then, the results of one’s behaviors and actions may prove to be off-target of the expected or desired outcome, and further, prove to be disastrous to both oneself and others!
    ● By and large—in varying degrees—all humanity may be out of sync regarding natural rhythmic emotional behavior and expression!
    ● Emotional repressions and disharmonies form the behavioral foundation of the Modern-Day Liberal!

  • The Perils Of Beginnings by Bernadette Inclan
    The Perils of Beginnings weaves two periods of history to tell the story of an ancestor, José Narciso Cavazos, one of the early Texas settlers. In 1969, 18-year-old Barbara, the narrator, hopped into her spicy Auntie Eloisa’s new GTO to embark on a road trip from Texas to Tampico, Mexico. While searching for her baptismal certificate, Auntie shares the history of Narcisco, a bold visionary who, in 1793, left an aristocratic life in Nuevo Leon, Mexico, to cultivate the 600,000 acres of land awarded to him by the King of Spain. As Narciso’s story unfolds, so do the secrets of the two women. Barbara’s humorous and warm tales told of a cow greeting her while using an outdoor toilet, Auntie dropping her bloomers while dancing with abandon to the mariachis’ music, and a “gentle” horse baring her teeth before riding her into the river. The Perils of Beginnings has something for everyone; history, romance, and colorful characters.

  • The Complete Adventures Of Shelby F. Squirrel and Friends, by Eleanor Lawrie
    Shelby is a young flying squirrel who lives with his mother and his twin sister, Darby.
    This series of adventures includes necessary lessons for skills the young ones will need as adults, and endless fun and excitement as Shelby explores the world around him.
    Shelby hiccups and stutters when he is upset or nervous, trouble finds him much too easily, and growing up is not what he wants to do.
    The forest provides him with many good friends, but when their beloved meadow is changed forever they all move to the woods beside a farm, where Shelby meets and learns about farm animals; a whole new experience.
    The stories relate loosely to the realities of wild flying squirrels, but liberal poetic licence allows much more to happen.
    SHELBY F. SQUIRREL is the perfect introduction to learning more about real flying squirrels, one of nature's very little-known and most amazing creatures.
