"Fathermucker" sounds rather suspect. I feel a touch profane when I say it. Harmless. I am a little confused but nevermind.

"Fathermucker" is the perfect title for this gem. This book is about a father mucking around, trying to hold it together. Josh Lansky is a husband, erst-while screenwriter, and stay-at-home father to Roland, a four-year-old boy with Asperger's,…

"Kate lowered her nose to Emily's head and breathed in Johnson's baby shampoo, a hormonal cocktail that among women who have children not long out of diapers drew the Pavlovian, Another." There, there. Is that not the most beautiful sentence you have ever read? If not then please leave me a comment with your contender because I have to read that book now. I read…

Sarah, Georgie, Nyla and Dulcet, all women approaching middle age in Portland, Oregon, have been friends since high school. The Stud Book follows a short interval in their lives filled with upheaval…

Greetings everyone,

I recently released my first children's interactive book. It is an animal abc book with sounds and pop-up phases.

We decided to create something that features wild animals with the purpose of not only teaching children the alphabet; but also the names of wild animals.

The book's title is: "My Animal ABC's" and is available for the iPad on the iBooks store.

Unfortunately I am new at this, and there is not much exposure for the book. If anyone is…

Sometimes, we are faced with the inexplicable. Sometimes, things do not go as we planned.



That does not mean that there is not something better waiting on the other side.



In "An Amish Home Volume 7 – The Fall", one of those things happens.



Young Ruth and her brother venture off into the woods for some innocent and much needed play time. What happens next is almost a tragedy and Ruth receives an ominous message from the mysterious figure that some have called her…

As an author and father, one of my driving passions is to help children, especially those that do not have help. One small thing I am trying is eBay Giving Works. I have listed a paperback copy of The Empyrical Tales Book I: The Fourth Queen on eBay and set it up to donate 90% of the sale to …

My first  book of poetry written at each stage of my life. Childhood, University Student, Mother, Married, Separation and a Single Mother. Life is tough for everyone. I believe that everyone has struggled through one aspect of their life, others every aspect. I do have faith that one day, it will get better and the journey will end with a stronger, wiser woman at the end of it.

I have two active blogs:…

Theresa Janie and her co-author Gl Gordon live in Laramie Wyoming. Several years ago they met while working at a lumber company in town. When the company hit hard times and went out of business after over 50 years in the area, they each went their own way. Mr. Gordon retired to a life of leisure and soon figured out that leisure wasn't all it was cracked up to be. He started telling his…

"What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?



And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.



And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost."  - Luke 15:4-6…
