A TORRENT OF FAITH

Paul Langdon is a struggling real estate broker. By nature, he is a cautious man, adverse to taking risks. While scouting out a tract of land, Paul loses his way in the woods. After wandering helplessly for several days, he is saved by the interventions of a wolf – except there are no wolves in upstate New York.

As a lukewarm Christian, Paul discovers that his miraculous encounter has challenged his faith in God. Two additional miracles, each more compelling than the last, combine to strengthen his spiritual devotion.

This story explores the nuances of genuine faith, and in light of God’s sovereignty, what trusting in Him truly entails.

RIDING IN THE BACKSEAT WITH MY BROTHER

Riding in the Backseat with My Brother takes readers through a journey beginning in the ‘50s steered by a dad who had wanderlust, and a nervous mother who gave her third child away following a nervous breakdown after his birth. Our lineage of distant relatives some called gypsies, wanderers, or Irish Travelers, had not skipped this generation altogether. “As we bounced across the country, sucking up the sounds, smells, and sights of new places, the events along the way formed us, making imprints in our hearts and minds forever.”

GRAPHENE

Lighter than a feather yet stronger than steel, Graphene
will carry you through the air someday.

Before airplanes crossed the oceans, gigantic gas-filled airships cruised serenely between Europe and North and South America. The horrific 1937 crash of the Hindenburg, the pride of Nazi Germany, ended that phase of passenger travel, and more than twenty years passed before heavier-than-air passenger airliners could cross the Atlantic again. In Graphene, Alexandra Shultz’s dream of reviving that lost age of air travel comes true when she enters a proposal for a Lighter-Than-Air (LTA) cruise ship into an entrepreneur’s contest, and billionaire venture capitalist Max Brita becomes a believer. Together they take the LTA concept and the miraculous new material Graphene into products and vessels the original dirigible designers never would have dreamt of.

HOW TO IMPROVE SELF-ESTEEM IN ANY CHILD

Children are fragile, shy, and unsure of themselves. Yet there are some children who feel they are the universe. They have to learn how to value themselves, their contribution, and their property; and to do the same for others. They have to learn that they do not live on an island by themselves. Therefore, they have to learn how to socially interact with others, and learn how to love, respect, and appreciate themselves, as well as others. This book will teach them these skills.

MAGIC WORDS

The book tells the story of the Dorights. Susan and Jim have a problem with their kids, Billy and Mary. A really big problem. Their kids are rude and impolite. So in a desperate attempt to teach their kids good manners, they came up with a game called the Magic Word Game. When something happens or they want something, Billy and Mary must use the magic words. If not, they will become invisible and their parents will not see them. Only the magic words will make the spell go away.

Magic Words teaches through positive reinforcement that good behavior is rewarded and bad behavior makes them invisible and ignored. “It is fascinating how easy it is to teach a child without raising your voice or losing your temper,” says McAliley, who has over twenty-five years of teaching experience. Parents who are looking for ideas to discipline their children will find an answer in this book.

THE REALM

Across the twelve seas, in the land of Ur – King William, ruler of the Northern Kingdom betrothed his daughter, Juliette, Countess of Lyon Head to Richard, son of King Fredrick, ruler of the Southern Kingdom. The wedding was to stop the wars between the two empires once and for all. This arrangement was unsettling to the sisters of Black Water; a dark evil place on the Isle of Drake. The sisters, Greta and Hagar were witches, better known as the Twins. They would stop at nothing to ensure the two kingdoms never united. Unbeknownst to King William, the Twins had a spy; one deceitful character on the king’s council. He was more than pleased to secretly hand over information to the witches on Juliette’s whereabouts. With Juliette out of the picture – the wedding could not take place. It was on one of her many escorted journeys through the Redwood Forest that she was abducted. While the Twins held Juliette captive in their filthy dungeon below their castle, she was forced to drink an evil potion; sealing her fate forever. This ruthless deed by the Twins would set in motion the ancient one’s long journey through time to find the Promise…
