The Cowboy : Michael Berrier
It’s 1970 in southern California, and ten-year-old Bobby is bummed out. His mom split and his dad’s no help, and the only way Bobby can deal with it is to wish he’d lived in the old days he sees played out in his favorite Westerns, when a cowboy could tell the good guys from the bad guys as easily as seeing whether they were defending the homestead or attacking it.
Things get worse after Bobby’s dog, Junior, defends him from a redneck, and the fuzz want to put Junior in the pokey. Bobby calculates he’d better hit the trail with Junior, and they cut out for the Mexican border. Tracked by his family, the police, and the redneck out for revenge, his real head trip begins when he approaches the border, where everything he thought he knew starts to come unglued.

No Greater Faith Than That of Science : Manuel S. Vergara
Our lives are full of non-material experiences and emotions, such as love, happiness, joy, wonder, empathy, deep connection between mother and child, sense of morality, achievement, realization, all of which speak of our spiritual nature.
There is, however, a great divide nowadays between the purely scientific and materialistic view of the world, which denies the existence of anything spiritual or non-material; and the view that we are much more than pure quarks and electrons and that we are endowed with a rich spiritual, purposeful and meaningful life.
The book tackles profound questions regarding our existence. It explains the facts supporting evolution and the fact that it does not exclude the presence of a Creator who started the process.
It also approaches the main subject of consciousness and the many neurological and physiological explanations for it. Although we understand how the brain works to some degree, that is not enough to explain consciousness, which again points toward transcendence beyond the physical body.
The book also settles the big controversy of free will from a neurophysiological standpoint. It then reviews the big gap and differences between religion and spirituality and the positive and negative aspects of religion, which have moved the current generation apart from those institutions. The book concludes by reporting that the ultimate and deep answers of our existence and the origin of life and the universe lie on faith since most of those questions are not falsifiable for both science and spirituality.

From Chaki City to LPC Grad : Richard Gant
Where on earth is Chaki City and what in the world is LPC Grad!!?
All will be revealed in this tale of two very different clans of cats, who find themselves left to their own devices, somewhere in Central Asia where all the countries end in “Stan,” after their human masters deserted them (good riddance!) in the wake of a nasty virus.
Whilst it was a life of luxury for the Cattishtanis thanks to all their TV kibbles commercials, it was anything but for the Little Poor Cats, soon to become the LPCs, who seemed condemned to a life of misery.
That was until a twist of fate along with a little help from the mysterious Fishing Cat would change their lives forever and give them the chance to found their own country where they would turn a disused Russian airbase into their very own capital: LPC Grad!
And so as the Cattishtanis carry on living it up in their capital Chaki City, it’s game-on as the LPCs prepare to turn the tables on their former tormentors!
With a delightful cast featuring loveable villains Sniff and Shoof from the Cattishtani secret police, Misqui, Chaki City’s highly unpredictable clairvoyant and Vlad the scheming LPC supremo, not forgetting McHackey the cunning computer kitty and of course, Hubertus, the pompous President of Cattishtan, this is a gripping book that will have you in fits of laughter from start to finish.
So, if you’ve ever wondered what your pets might get up to if you went away, then you are warmly welcome to join in the thrills and spills as LPCs and Cattishtanis battle it out in ten wacky misadventures to get their paws on the biggest prize of all – the TV kibbles contract!

Love Notes and The Universe: A Story of Poetry : Seth L. Gorman
Growth occurs in so many different ways, and at unexpected times. These pages depict the inner journey of a boy growing into a man over the course of a decade. Set on an endeavor to understand Love, the Universe, and Himself. He finds joy, embraces pain, ignites passion, and battles with courage. Maybe he’s not so different from you.
Foreword:
Seth is one of the most beautifully vulnerable people I know. We met at an open mic, and I was standoffish at first. He was persistent in a charming way that made it easy to talk to him. His authenticity is admirable and intimate. Seth makes you feel seen. He allowed me to be myself and I felt we were destined to meet.
Twice, Seth has come into my life when I’ve most doubted myself. When we met in that bar, I felt unworthy of love. When I left, I felt adorned. Like his aura had mixed into mine. He did more for me that night than I think he knows.
The second time was when he asked me to write this. I had been feeling unsure of my voice, wondering if what I had to say was worth hearing. Unknowingly, Seth encouraged me to be true to self by reading his story. His writing reminded me that I can be equally sensitive and strong.
As I read his work, I languished in parks newly explored which felt appropriate as his writing begs you to seek. I felt called to explore inside and out, connecting with myself and nature. In doing so, I felt closer to Seth. This book allows you to orbit through his mind and into the galaxies of your own desire. He reaches out his hand to you, take it and go.
