Calendar Girl : Tarissa Ireland Edmons
A classic girl-meets-boy love story. With an unexpected twist.
Sue Boyd, bookkeeper. Divorced and out-of-work. Jon King, engineer. Self-employed and never married. Both have experienced tragedies that send them on a collision course into each other’s lives.
A happenstance look at a calendar in Jon’s garage leads Sue to rediscover kinky secrets hidden in her past … and straight into the arms of a lover only too willing to fully demonstrate the meaning of “a binding contract.”
Join Sue and Jon as they walk a path that includes Sue’s parents, a British nanny, and a Pastor named Duke. Their adventure is definitely not-so-straight-and-narrow as they share exciting and erotic secrets and stories, each with a fetish twist and each more bizarre than the one before.
Calendar Girl: A love story in leather.

Ashley comes home from school feeling very sad and is ready to change who she is after one of her friends tells her that he doesn’t want to play with her because he doesn’t like the color of her skin.
With a lot of love and words of support, Daddy helps her embrace the skin she’s in by letting her know that it is what is on the inside that is really important, not skin color or hair texture.
God and all the people in her family love her because of who she is on the inside: funny, smart, friendly, kind, and helpful. He tells her that it is her friend’s loss if he doesn’t want to be her friend. Others will love to be her friend.

This book is intended to be an example to adults, educators, and parents of color who find it necessary to have the It’s What’s on the Inside conversation with their children.

A Little Dog’s Adventures in a Big Dog’s World : Suzanne J Catalano
This book is for humans to read, but I wrote this book for the dogs. I see how powerful it is when the dog is given a choice, given a voice. I have seen dogs transform from nervous and shy to confident and empowered all after having built a connection with a human through nose work.
In this book, I begin with some introduction to the hobby and sport of Canine Detection along with some storytelling of my actual experiences learning, practicing, and competing in the Canine Performance Sport, Scent/Nose Work. Through the storytelling, I demonstrate how the bond, the human-canine connection, can be built using as an example the relationship I have with my dog, Winnie.
I give a little history about this new sport, the national organizations that sanction it, and a basic explanation of what is nose work. I explain about search areas called elements, and for what the dogs are searching, target odor essential oils. I also give a little information about the competitive aspect by sharing my own trial competition experiences.
Using my personal story, I relay some background about from whom I learned, how I was taught, and then tell how I came to understand nose work by doing it Winnie’s way. I share my philosophy on nose work and hope other dog lovers and Canine Performance Sport hobbyists can come away with a helpful new perspective. I want to create within my readers a desire to learn, explore and find they can do things their own dog’s way all while experiencing the power of a bond beyond expectations.
Finally, I talk a little about Faith and the personal transformation I have experienced doing Nose Work. Through more storytelling, I share what nose work means to me beyond a hobby. My readers will learn how important it is to cherish every second we have with our dogs, and how nose work can open their hearts to surrendering to the moment. The best way to appreciate all we have in life is to always look towards our dogs and cue off of them for finding target odor and the funner things in life.
Nothing can heal our souls, nothing can bring us joy and nothing can help us find our way in life better than the smiling face of a dog and her nose.

A childless mother finds herself on the run as a convicted murderer.
