  Just in: Literary Titan's review of Curse of the Maestro by G T Walker. "...an imaginative and highly original dive into the bizarre...   kicks things off brilliantly, blending humor and absurdity with a clever reimagining of a classic “curse” tale... unconventional storytelling and a touch of the absurd... a unique and entertaining journey through one of the most peculiar fictional histories you’re likely to encounter. Walker’s vision is bold, and the book’s quirks are part of its charm." Read the full review at Literary Titan .   For other posts about GT Walker and his book, click  HERE .

  As the year begins, we are taking a look back at some of our popular authors last year. The first in this series is Betty Shaw, whose book,  One Simple Text . . . ,  written together with Dave Bown has just recently been released as an audiobook (in addition to earlier ebook and paperback editions).  The trip down memory lane "news" we focus on today is their interview on End Distracted Driving . Book description: It was every parent's worst nightmare. On a sun-drenched morning in April 2012, a Maryland state trooper knocked on Betty Shaw's front door and delivered the grim news that her 17-year-old daughter, Liz, had been involved in a horrible car accident and was clinging to life. Liz recovered from her life-threatening injuries but suffered severe and permanent effects from the accident. Texting while driving caused Liz's crash, and she and her mother went on a mission to educate people about the perils of distracted driving. The pair began to speak before var...

  Today's publisher's pride is  Travels with Elly  by Larry MacDonald, which reached #231   in travel with pets books. Book description: This nonfiction book views Canada from a personal perspective, similar to John Steinbeck's view of America in his 1960 book  Travels with Charley . The author travels from coast to coast in a trailer with his wife and pets, including their Standard Poodle, Elly, in order to gain a better understanding of his adopted country. Interspersed between descriptions of history, cultures, places, and icons are the author's reflections on various things such as Elly's antics, signage, ferries, political injustice, environmental issues, and animal instincts. To provide a canine's perspective, Elly reflects on things of interest to her, including cats, cows, and other critters...but especially cats! Where was Canada's first settlement? What is its prettiest town? When and where was its most devastating shipwreck? And who was its greatest h...

  Andrew's Awesome Adventures with His ADHD Brain   by Kristin and Andrew Wilcox has won another award! The book was recently selected as a 2024 Fall Pinnacle Book Achievement Award. Book description: In this two-part book Andrew and his neuroscientist mom each tell their story about living with the inattentive subtype of ADHD. How do you survive life and middle school with an ADHD elephant in your brain?

He even realizes there is a positive side to having ADHD like creativity, fearlessness and hyperfocus.   Dr. Wilcox discusses the science behind ADHD, parent-to-parent, from someone ...
