Squidgets, Wazoos and Wabadeezoos

 





Squidgets, Wazoos and Wabadeezoos is a children's book designed for busy parents with young children that has characters that might be familiar in your household. It can be read any time, but was written especially with bedtime in mind. It has wonderful, lyrical writing and fun, colorful character illustrations that capture imagination, making it an engaging experience. 

Based on living with furry friends, it shows children that all creatures have personality. They can be fun but also can be quite mischievous. This plays out when a boy allows these characters into his home, only to find that they get up to hijinks. One in particular, the Wazoo, leads the group, designating himself king over the motley crew.

The community of people engaged as part of the book’s development and final publication have said they found the book to be fun, relatable and for all ages.

It really is a fun book to read and see!

Requiem

 



In Memory of All That Should Have Been


Through its 211 interwoven poems, this double-tiered recursive crown of sonnets takes the reader on an epic journey to the heart of mankind's would-be nemesis - herself - and back again. Does her destiny await in the unexplored depths of the cosmos, or in a toxic wasteland of her own making? Does she have the will to shape her own future, or is she a slave to her myopic wants and impulses?

Some of the things others had to say about the book:

Requiem is like nothing else I have ever read. […] Requiem really is a stunning work of art.
– The Biblioshelf

A stand-out among all the poetry I’ve read. […] Thrilling, rich, and properly metered lyric sonnets, dense with imagery and sonic resonance.
– L.S. Popovich

Just beautiful.
– The Indie Express

Beautifully done.
– Texas Book Nook

Powerful, beautiful, honest, and real. So much more than I was expecting.
– On a Reading Bender

Recommended for students and lovers of serious poetry.
– Gordon Long

Fleeing an alien menace of galactic proportions, a starship named The Dreamer crash-lands on Earth in the year 2436 BCE. Responding to the crash, the primitive earthlings discover the ship’s commander Valerie Dunne is a 5,000-year-old woman from the future, forced to escape her nemesis, the Boecki, by hiding in the past. Soon they learn the fate of the future world now rests on this strange woman’s ability to harness five Hesaurun rings — rings with the power to destroy, heal, and manipulate time — and somehow, to find a way to alter her own destiny.

Weaving in a huge cast of humans and aliens, Peter Harrett has crafted a galaxy for readers of the 21st century to believe in…immense, ancient, and mind-bending.

The Singularity Transfer

 



The Singularity Transfer


Princeton neuroscientist Thomas Parker must save people he promised to keep alive, while giving adversaries a new age of warfare. In his world of secrets, no one can be trusted. If Parker fails, a resurrected evil wins and everyone who he cares about dies, even FBI Special Agent Kate Morgan. The Singularity Transfer is a thriller with a scientific edge.

Forces beyond Parker’s control have turned events into a new era space race. Parker’s knows his work erodes the ethical ground of medicine, science, politics, and geopolitical landscapes, yet the only way to save the people under his protection is to allow the project to reach completion—an outcome with surprising ramifications for humanity.

The opposing force that Parker faces is a resurrected Stewart Richards, who is hellbent on delivering a working version of Parker’s work first. What Parker and Richards don’t know is that each holds key secrets that the other needs to deliver neurological singularity.

Parker must save those he can, while struggling to trust anyone. His FBI Special Agent girlfriend Kate Morgan is an essential contributor to his work, but even she can’t be trusted.

The thread of conspiracies weaves together a broader tapestry behind the story, drawing on national and international politics, the dawn of a New World Order fueled by the notion of Peace on Earth, and establishing a new nation championed by Founders of the Nine Rings.

The Singularity Transfer is an intricate thriller that exposes disturbing medical research in the form of a deeper revelation. How will Thomas Parker survive? Will he save those he promised to save? The Singularity Transfer plays off “what if” scenarios facing current medical and biological research endeavors. Some of those initiatives may fundamentally change social and geopolitical landscapes forever.

“The Singularity Witness is a fast-paced thriller with a scientific edge … Never a dull moment.” – San Francisco Book Review

“Dan Grant has taken some of the world’s most controversial ideas surrounding medicine and technology and transformed them into a carefully crafted, slick thriller” – Hollywood Book Review
