And when he starts rhyming, can go on for days. Crowds form when he’s rhyming, they can’t get enough, For he is an expert, no rhyme-scheme’s too tough.

He might, as a start, find his fan clubs forsaken. He might also find that the gift that he’d lost Might be gained once again, but be gained at what cost? Read on to find lessons and laughs—you’ll find both, And discover how often with loss comes new growth.In a land where magic and rhyme fill the air, the last of the Murrbles — a whimsical, polka-dotted creature — learns a lesson in kindness the hard way.

As he roams the bustling marketplace, the Murrble finds his once-cheering fans oddly bitter. Could there be more to their sour moods than he realizes? And is there a way to bring color and magic back into his world? The Polka-Dotted Murrble is a clever and heartwarming tale of humility, friendship, and finding magic in second chances. Perfect for kids ages 4–8, this read-aloud favorite is full of rhythm, humor, and just the right sprinkle of whimsy. Includes a surprise ending… with toast and marmalade!

Submarine Expedition

 Book Cover


Submarine Expedition


Earth’s global ocean covers seventy percent of its surface. Its average depth is two point three miles. There are six-mile-deep trenches where the mantle consumes old ocean floor, and mid-ocean ridges where it pushes out new. Some experts consider the ocean more hostile than space. Admiral Martin (retired) is fond of saying; “The sea will get you if it can.”

Now, there is a place in the Arctic Ocean, about three hundred miles from the North Pole, roughly three miles below the polar ice cap, where hydrothermal water percolates through newly formed crust. Where mineral precipitates have built a kingdom of towers, spires, and bridges. Where giant blood-red tube worms and foot long shrimp thrive. And where an ancient dragon returns to life after a million-year sleep.

Meanwhile, in more southern waters, industrialist and marine explorer William “Bill” Martin has embarked on a three-month expedition to the mid-ocean ridge beneath the Arctic ice cap. Critical to the success of this mission is his submarine Expedition. Expedition is an extraordinary nuclear powered research vessel. It can make five thousand feet depth to keel. It has transparent titanium-aluminum windows, an active camouflage system, and seven sonar systems. It carries drilling equipment, a diving bell, an exploratory submersible that can walk over coalescing lava flows, and three mini subs. The admiral is prepared for anything the sea can throw at him. Or so he thinks.

After discovering a mineral treasure trove of precious metals and rare earth elements, escaping from a deep-sea dragon by the skin of its teeth, and while his science team is still examining core samples, a call comes in from the Navy. “Bill, we need your help.” Cetaceans are beaching themselves in large numbers on New Jersey's shores, and one of our submarines is missing. Will Expedition and his crew figure out why the whales are grounding themselves and why the Navy’s submarine is missing?

I Love You So BEARY Much: A Heartwarming Rhyming Picture Book for Babies and Toddlers

 Book Cover


I Love You So BEARY Much:

A Heartwarming Rhyming Picture Book

for Babies and Toddlers


If you’re looking for a sweet, meaningful book to share with a baby or toddler, I Love You So BEARY Much is definitely one to check out.

This rhyming picture book was created with very young children in mind—perfect for babies, toddlers, and even preschoolers. It features 25 short, heartfelt poems, each paired with a full-spread illustration of a parent animal and their baby. From bears and dolphins to monkeys, owls, hedgehogs, and penguins, every page captures a new animal pair and a different expression of love between parent and child. What makes this book stand out is how simple and soothing it is to read aloud. The rhymes are gentle and short—just a few lines each—making them ideal for little ones with shorter attention spans. It’s a great choice for early bonding, bedtime wind-downs, or even quiet daytime reading. And the consistent format (a new animal and poem on each spread) makes it easy to read one page, several, or the whole book, depending on your child’s mood. The illustrations are vibrant and full of warmth, but they’re not overly busy—which is perfect for engaging babies and toddlers without overwhelming them. The overall tone of the book is tender and affectionate, which many parents will appreciate, especially in those early months and years when expressing love through storytime becomes part of the daily routine. This would make a thoughtful gift for a baby shower, first birthday, or new parents building their child’s first library. It feels like a keepsake book—one that can grow with your child from their earliest days through the toddler years and beyond. If you're in the market for a book that’s sweet, snuggly, and built for repeat reading, I Love You So BEARY Much is a gentle favorite that fits right in.

Smolder & Sugar (McAlester's Sinful Nights Book 1)

 

Book Cover




One grumpy ex-military man. One sassy bakery owner. And a small-town scandal that’s about to turn up the heat… Charlie Dawson has two rules: Never mix business with pleasure and never fall for a man who doesn’t do sweets. But when Wyatt Jameson, a brooding ex-soldier with a past as dark as his coffee, keeps showing up at her bakery, she starts to rethink both. Six months of stolen glances and sharp banter have done nothing to shake his unreadable exterior—until a break-in at Sugar & Comfort changes everything. Now? Wyatt isn’t just watching from the sidelines—he’s staying close. Too close. With someone targeting her bakery, Wyatt refuses to leave her unprotected. And the more time they spend together, the harder it is for Charlie to ignore the heat simmering beneath his stoic facade. He’s all rough edges, but when he looks at her, she swears she can feel the embers of something dangerously addictive. But Wyatt didn’t come to McAlester looking for a fresh start. He came to escape. And Charlie? She’s never been the kind of woman to settle for half a man’s heart. With a mystery unraveling around them, late-night confessions, and one stormy night that changes everything, can Charlie convince Wyatt that some things—like love and cinnamon rolls—are worth the risk? Or will he walk away before the fire between them ignites into something neither of them can control?

Elon Musk and the Simulation Paradox: Game Goals vs. Destruction - A very short moment in time

 Book Cover


Elon Musk and the Simulation Paradox:

Game Goals vs. Destruction - A very short moment in time 



Recently, Elon Musk has acted surprised with his own rise to power. But what if our world is a meticulously crafted simulation, one designed by Elon and his secret other-half? With the simulation’s balance between stability and destruction in his hands, will he choose to save the world? Will we make it to Mars? Will the interconnectedness of all things be considered, from technical systems, to… the emotional? [Please stop making that gagging noise]. Without these, like the story of the scorpion and the frog, Elon risks plunging humanity, along with his own genius, back into the void.

Elon Musk and the Simulation Paradox is a short story that leads us through questions of creation, destruction, identity, and purpose, with a touch of humor and game theory. The nature of reality itself can be examined… in real time.
