American Dangerous is a stunningly honest book of semi-autobiographical poetry about a single, middle-aged woman's experiences of rape, the prejudice derived from interracial love, the death of her parents and America's class system. It reads like a story. She is an associate vice president at Old Dominion University where she teaches creative writing, critical thinking, and literature.
Doomsday 'prepper' Connor Holloway and his family live a life of isolation in their apocalypse-ready compound, and he prefers it that way. After being driven out of his small town by rumors and cruelty, he has no interest in integrating back into society. But when a pandemic hits the United States, there is only one place the townspeople can go if they want to live: his doorstep. He knows his chance for revenge has arrived when he realizes one important truth-he now has the power to decide who lives and who dies. But vengeance always comes at a price, and Connor's may cost him everything. The Ocean in the Fire is a story about one man's journey of self-discovery during the end of the world. As Connor begins to see the darker parts of himself, he begins to question whether the existence he chose for his family was motivated by love, or by something far less noble. And as he searches for redemption, he wonders if it may always be just out of reach.

What happens when a child witnesses an extremely traumatic event? What happens when we don't recognize the extent of the damage incurred as a result of the traumatic event? Is it possible that schizophrenia and other mental ailments can be either passed down or inherited as a result of experiences from childhood? Author Renee Warring gives us insight into mental illness not often discussed in many communities. Mrs. Warring shares how the trauma her mother and other relatives suffered because of being forced to view multiple family and community lynchings insinuated itself into the lives of family members down through at least one generation to her in the form of schizophrenia. She and her family sadly discovered that severe trauma can be passed down from generation to generation. As a community what are we missing when it comes to caring for those who are hit with these illnesses? Renee Warring transparently shares how she has walked this mental illness path and what she has learned. From Renee..."We who have mental illness are Lemonade. God takes the bitter lemons of our mental health breakdoens and adds the sugar of His power to enable us to be His ambassadors to the world with the Lemonade of hope, love, and our abilities. We are the Lemonade that refreshes the world."
In the final installment of Triangles of Deception, tensions rise, friendships are tested, trust is broke, love is rekindled and a familiar face for the past resurfaces. Will this be the end of this triangle, or will it continue to be never-ending?
"More Kafka than Kafka, Renee Gladman's achievement ranks alongside many of Borges' in its creation of a fantastical landscape with deep psychological impact." --Jeff VanderMeer Since 2010 writer and artist Renee Gladman has placed fantastic and philosophical stories in the invented city-state of Ravicka, a Ruritanian everyplace with its own gestural language, poetic architecture, and inexplicable physics. As Ravicka has grown, so has Gladman's project, spilling out from her fiction--Event Factory, The Ravickians, and Ana Patova Crosses a Bridge--into her nonfiction (Calamities) and even visual art (Prose Architectures). The result is a project unlike any other in American letters today, a fictional world that spans not only multiple books but different genres, even different art forms. In Houses of Ravicka, the city's comptroller, author of Regulating the Book of Regulations, seems to have lost a house. It is not where it's supposed to be, though an invisible house on the far side of town, which corresponds to the missing house, remains appropriately invisible. Inside the invisible house, a nameless Ravickian considers how she came to the life she is living, and investigates the deep history of Ravicka--that mysterious city-country born of Renee Gladman's philosophical, funny, audacious, extraordinary imagination.
In this introduction to Maddie, we meet a young female monkey who has a specific fashion sense. Inspired by illustrated characters also famous for their spirit and spunk, Maddie the monkey combines one part Eloise with one part Olivia and one part Pippi, all modernized for the style of today's youth. She's not afraid to mix and match, loves making things more fanciful (and words bigger), and has very specific opinions that reflect her always growing sense of independence.A fun read set up in loose rhyming style, Meet Maddie is a quick read, appropriate for all levels, whether being read to or learning to read themselves. With colorful illustrations that highlight articles of clothing, colors and seasons, readers should enjoy building upon the words by exploring the corresponding pictures to dream up what adventure Maddie might be getting ready for next. Makes a perfect circle time book for childcare and preschool programs as well as a great way to teach children about getting dressed (and give them some necessary encouragement on a particularly busy morning).Written as an ode to the author's own young daughter, Meet Maddie celebrates little ones with strong wills and hopes to give their caretakers reason to chuckle.

Gratitude is one of the many positive emotions humans exhibit. It's about focusing on what's good in our lives and being thankful for the things that we have been blessed with.Gratitude doesn't just feel good; it refreshes the spirit; having or possessing the habit of showing gratitude can also be good for us. Feeling grateful on a regular basis can have a positive effect on our lives both physically, spiritually and emotionally. Sometimes, the feelings of gratitude happen spontaneously. But we can also create feelings of gratitude by deliberately counting our blessings. Slow down, relax and notice the good things around you. For example: "Wow, the sky is so beautiful today What an incredible world we live in," or, "oh, I met Jessica at the shopping mall It was so nice of her to have helped me yesterday." Be grateful for even the little things in your life.Noticing the things you're grateful for is just the first step in building the habit of gratitude, but you can also try other amazing ways of showing gratitude, like taking the time to thank people or pausing to appreciate a star-filled sky. Start now, what's good about this moment?
