SOIC and SOT: the Microchips by Jeffrey C. Dunnihoo Illustrated by Simona M. Ceccarelli
PB #978-1-7322836-1-9 US$7.95/CA$10.99 | HC #978-1-7322836-2-6 US$17.95/CA$23.99 Hardcover: 28 pages | Publication Date: October 1, 2018 | Ages 2-6/Grades PreK-1 About the Book: Two microchips named SOIC and SOT go on a journey through an electronics assembly line. From shipping boxes, through the soldering process, assembly and test, the chips learn about the world outside, and what they were born to do! The perfect picture book for our littlest electrical engineers and technicians to be. TAKE NOTE: SOIC and SOT (and Friends) is a picture book series created to help provide a first step into the future for children, parents and teachers, and especially those who are not already involved and conversant in technology and microelectronics careers. The specific focus: the microchips in every electronic device kids use. From talking pigs to steam engines and aardvarks to trucks, children's books cover a huge range of people, places and things that are rarely part of a child's day to day life-but what about the microchips that make up the toys and tools they play with every day? For a free and fair technological society to flourish, it is critical that that all kids are at least introduced to what's under the hood in their high-tech laptops, tablets and smartphones, just as they learn about birds, trees and trains or letters, colors and counting. There are many, many more people involved in electronics than just engineers and scientists. And while not everyone is destined for advanced STEM college degrees, every child can be introduced to, benefit from and create their own technology contribution.

Passage at Delphi (Apollo Series Book 1) by A.K. Patch
Delphi's Chosen (Apollo Series Book 2) Kindle Edition by A.K. Patch
In modern-day Delphi, Lauren has a lot to explain as she protects a young orphan girl with a past that must be concealed. In ancient Greece, circa 480 BC, Zack risks his life in battles against the Persian might of King Xerxes and forces poised to destroy the Greek city-states. A newly minted warrior, Zack must also parry the amorous assaults of determined queen who seemingly will not take no for an answer. With their lives manipulated by Apollo and their mission yet unclear, Zack and Lauren are pawns in a race to save the modern world from chaos. Will they succeed? Or ever reunite? And if they do, will they each recognize the person they left behind? The adventure continues... 
Journey From Delphi (Apollo Series) (Volume 3) by A.K. Patch
Paperback: 388 pages | Publisher: Pedaceum Press (July 13, 2018) ISBN-10: 0990872467 | ISBN-13: 978-0990872467 Continuing from where PASSAGE AT DELPHI and DELPHI’S CHOSEN left off, in JOURNEY FROM DELPHI, professors Lauren and Zack Fletcher are still separated by a chasm of centuries and by the mission for which Apollo has chosen them. Pawns in a race to save the modern world from chaos, and forced to face down enemies from the past and present, these unlikely heroes must find in themselves the strength to persevere. As Zack is thrust into battles from the past and Lauren lends her talents to a clandestine group in the present, they also face the possibility that they will remain forever separated by time. Who has set the plot to change the world in motion? Will an ancient warrior prove Lauren’s undoing? What sacrifices must be made to preserve a way of life? Weaving together history, romance, and a heroic quest, author A.K. Patch once again brings his readers into a maelstrom of compelling events, this time revealing who is behind the plot to destroy the modern world – and whether Zack and Lauren were the right choice to help foil the attempt. With its conclusion, the Apollo Series leaves you, the reader, to answer what may in reality be this century’s most pressing question: Should we attempt to not just influence, but alter the human species and, if so, where do we draw the boundary lines on technological progress that will also protect and preserve humanity? 
About A.K. PatchA.K. Patch is the author of the Apollo Series Trilogy including PASSAGE AT DELPHI, DELPHI'S CHOSEN, and JOURNEY FROM DELPHI. He is a radio guest on multiple stations nationwide, and on television in San Diego, California.
With history as a passionate guide, and an eye towards the future, A.K. weaves a roller coaster ride in his historical fiction novels that are part thriller, romance, and epic adventures involving time-travel. On the Board of the Friends of Classics at San Diego State University and a History Fair Judge for San Diego County, A.K. Patch sees the foundation of the past in the continuing saga of how human nature plays out in the challenges of the present day.

S. degree in biology from Boston College and DMD from Tufts University, he spent 32 years in private practice in San Diego. When not dreaming up plot while he swims laps, A.

Unforgettable by Ronda Hinrichsen
Paperback, 208 pages Published May 1st 2018 by Covenant Communications ISBN: 1524403369 (ISBN13: 9781524403362) Synopsis: Haley has always admired her strong-willed great-grandmother Grisa. The woman survived the disappearance of her husband and thrived after her immigration to America at the beginning of World War II. But when a shocking telephone call from a detective in Germany turns Haley's life upside down in an instant, she finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about her heritage. The body of Ulrich Krauss has been found, and the renowned toymaker and artist has a shocking connection to Haley: he is her great-grandfather—not missing but murdered. Now, at the request of her ailing great-grandmother, Haley travels to Germany to seek answers. What she finds instead are more questions and a growing sense of danger dogging her every step. Protection appears in the form of Joshua, an attractive man from Haley's past who is in Germany on business. Together the pair embarks on an emotional quest for the truth, only to discover that a generations-old plot is very much alive, and there are those as determined as ever to keep the facts surrounding Ulrich's death hidden—even if it means silencing his great-granddaughter for good. 
Award-winning author, Ronda Hinrichsen (also writing as Kathleen Marks) and her family own a small farm located between the beautiful Rocky Mountains and the Great Salt Lake where she regularly sees eagles, hawks, owls, and ducks. Lots of ducks. She is the author of independently and traditionally published non-fiction, romantic suspense and speculative books as well as numerous magazine articles and stories for children and adults. She also enjoys teaching about writing in conference and classroom settings. To learn more about Ronda, visit: Website | Amazon Page | Facebook |

Fall in love with India and the bustling city of Mumbai in Ajay Kaul’s book of short stories, Mumbai Matinee, truth-based fiction that acts as both memoir and travelogue.
Orange County, CA -- Fall in love with India and the bustling city of Mumbai in Ajay Kaul’s book of short stories, Mumbai Matinee, truth-based fiction that acts as both memoir and travelogue. Mumbai Matinee portrays the veritable feast of the commerce, people, and danger which make up India’s most populous city and financial capital. Filled with eight interconnected short stories based on Kaul’s life and work there, this charming book is a terrific pleasure read and highly recommended if you plan to visit. “This is one delightful book – more than just a fine memoir: this book speaks to the oneness of mankind in the finest manner. Ajay Kaul has created a credible contemporary love song to Mumbai and cordially invites us to join him.” – Grady Harp, Amazon Top 100 Hall of Fame Reviewer “The events and stories captured in Mumbai Matinee are a reflection of my own experiences in and around the city,” says Kaul. “What stands out about Mumbai is that it is perpetually open for business. Even occasional acts of terrorism have not been able to create a dent in the commercial mindset of the city. People can look for opportunities and count on them. There is huge encouragement everywhere.” The tenderness of humanity also abounds. “During bomb blasts, people were volunteering their vehicles to get others to the hospital,” says Kaul. “And on a train, men will stand to give children seating. In Mumbai, life gets shared. You are not alone.” The stories traverse love, danger, and the compassion of strangers in a city that never sleeps. Meet Sawant, a street vendor whose kiosk serves as the area’s gossip and information network; Ashok Pawar, the cop who becomes entangled in bombings and global terrorism, which Kaul experienced first-hand during the 1993 bombings; Rajat and Roohi, the interfaith couple who touch and change Ajay’s life; and Smita, actress extraordinaire, who steals his heart in a tragic love story. And what book on India would be complete without a compelling tale of the sport of cricket? “One of the true gifts and pleasures of reading is its ability to transport us all over the globe and into new and sometimes very different ways of life. Such is the case with Ajay Kaul’s mesmerizing memoir, MUMBAI MATINEE.” - John J. Kelly, Detroit Free Press and Cincinnati Beat book reviewer (Available on Amazon ) 
About Ajay Kaul, author of Mumbai Matinee
Ajay Kaul is an engineering manager employed with Amazon, working with Alexa. He was born in India and received his degree in engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, and his master’s degree in business administration from the Thunderbird School of Global Management. After graduation he spent several years in and around the city of Mumbai, India, as a full-time employee. He fell in love with the city’s energy and people, and his book of short stories, Mumbai Matinee, is based on his experiences there. An extensive writer and blogger on the subjects of management and leadership, Kaul plans to write his next book on these topics. Mumbai Matinee is his first fiction book. Kaul is published in the Times of India and the Financial Times, as well as on his blog site the Legends of Leadership and Management series. He believes that education is the stepping stone to success and has volunteered his time both in India and as a Literacy Tutor with Read San Diego. He loves the sport of Cricket, (except for the five-day tournaments!) and has a passion for travel, having stepped foot on all seven continents. Facebook | Goodreads |

Sanity Lost & Found: A true Story of Brainwashing and Recovery by Tarra Judson Stariell
Nov 15, 2017 (Memoir, abuse, cult, personal growth, inspirational) How do we become victims of our own irrationality? What makes us vulnerable to the predators among us? Why would an otherwise sensitive, intelligent woman allow herself to return again and again to her abuser? How do we stop the erosion of our self-worth? Simultaneously recognizable and horrifying, we see parts of ourselves and our own vulnerabilities in this compelling story of one woman’s descent into and climb out of the abyss. For anyone who has ever allowed themselves to be victimized, for anyone who has ever doubted their value, for anyone wanting to protect their children from such vulnerabilities, SANITY LOST & FOUND is a compelling, informative, and inspirational read that weaves together the how and why for such vulnerabilities and the components necessary for recovery and transformation.

ABOUT David Miles
Many people have urged me to write this book now for decades. I’m not writing it out of reservation, just with the hope that it is taken seriously and with the understanding that nothing I have written has been made up or embellished. Please take to heart the things that I have brought to light, and, I pray, that you would absorb them into your heart to really be honest with yourself, so that on the day you confront God, you are found to be one of the accepted.

BOOK 2 Is a Memoir, allowing the reader to see life through the eyes of an intellectual and physical of a Special Needs person. This book is donated by Strategies Public Relations
Chasing the Merry-Go-Round (memoir, special needs, personal growth)
194 pages Published January 14th 2018 by Boulay Press Life moves fast. Too fast for some people. This is the true story of what it's like to live in a world where you can't keep up. Bobby was ten months old when my mom and dad rescued him from birth parents who were slowly killing him. He was adopted into our family after a lengthy custody battle. Instead of that settling him, it set off a lifelong struggle to find a place to belong, a place to call home. Like an old-fashioned merry-go-round, the world moved at a speed that was just too fast for Bobby. He couldn't keep up, which prevented him from keeping a job, a roof over his head, and the basics needed to survive. The life he dreamt of was always out of reach. No one knew why. While cultural ideals of what a "normal" life looks like can distort our perspective, Chasing the Merry-Go-Round allows readers to see the world through the eyes of a person with intellectual and physical disabilities, which can often be invisible, especially at first glance. It's a story about struggle and hope, survival and resilience, and most of all, the gift of acceptance and love. 
I was born and raised between two small towns in Central New York, the middle child of five, with a brother and sister older and a brother and sister younger than me. While this may not seem important to you, it seems to have shaped my personality and life (and writing) in ways I am still trying to understand.
I had this thing about financial security—I needed it. I earned a very practical B.S. in Accounting and became a C.P.A. While I have enjoyed more than 25 years of a successful career in business, the urgency to write could not be denied any longer. I began to study at the Downtown Writer's Center in Syracuse, NY and graduated from their Creative Writing PRO program. My nonfiction has appeared in several issues of Mom Egg Review, The Mountain, an Anthology published by Outrider Press, Inc. and I have contributed articles to The Post-Standard. My work has won Third Prize and Honorable Mentions in the 2012 and 2013 Soul-Making Keats Literary Competitions, as well as Third Prize in the Fiction500 contest. I’ve also completed 15 Sprint Triathlons in the last few years—trying to outwit the effects of aging and an otherwise sedentary life. I am an advocate for Narcolepsy awareness and in 2013 launched the CNY Narcolepsy Support Group. I’m passionate about serving my global and local communities and volunteer with organizations that serve those in our world who need a little extra help to keep up with this fast-paced system we’ve created. How we care for those who need help has an everlasting impact. I believe that if the basic needs of a person’s spirit, soul and body are met, it allows them the ability to keep their own corner of the world—their home—safe and prosperous for them and their family. This is all there is. Website | Facebook |Google+ |

About the Author:
When Zack Bush was growing up he spent his free time listening to jazz. Instead of imagining a career in law or medicine like so many of his classmates, the Miami native knew he would take a different path. Zack learned to play the piano and would speak with family and friends about one day owning a venue that would bring the music he loved to others. Zack is now the owner of Ball & Chain, a historic live-music venue on Miami’s famed Calle Ocho, in the heart of Little Havana. Zack and his team renovated and restored the nearly forgotten gem, famous for hosting 20th-century jazz greats like Chet Baker, Count Basie, and Billie Holiday. Today, musicians from around the world perform live on the Ball & Chain stage. Zack’s other passion is books. A devoted reader and writer, Zack’s lifetime desire to become an author has found a refreshed source of inspiration as the father of two-year-old son Ace and baby daughter Ava.
