Blart Boogerswatch Vs. His Wallet  is a children's picture book that teaches kids ages 5–10 how to think about money — not through rules and lectures, but through a funny, goofy little monster who spends an entire week making every money mistake you'd expect.

What a fantastic way to teach children about financial literacy in a way they can understand! – on line review

Stephanie Cox is a teacher-turned-author who spent seven years in elementary classrooms before founding Money Monsters LLC. She wrote Blart Boogerswatch Vs. His Wallet — which she also illustrated herself — because she kept seeing kids grow up without the basic tools to understand money, and decided to stop waiting for someone else to fix it.

To find the truth, we need a little bit of logic, a little bit of imagination, and a whole lot of honesty.  – J. Avet

Faith in God is the highest value and phenomenon when it is based on true teachings. In order to discern the truth, our consciousness and reason come to our aid.

By adding other moral values to these important qualities, along with knowledge passed down by scientists, we gain a concrete understanding of where we come from, what our mission is, and where this ongoing path is leading us.

Throughout the years, J. AVET has been active in his community, volunteering as a soccer coach working with youth. After retiring, he turned his focus to writing. His work reflects a life journey across cultures, countries, and generations. Through his deep research, he hopes to preserve and share the wisdom passed down from his ancestors so that others may benefit from it.

At its heart, Magnificent Mondo is about celebrating differences and seeing them as strengths. It’s about realizing that what makes us unique is what makes us special. (Ages 4 - 8)

Magnificent Mondo tells the story of a determined pigeon who dreams of dazzling the world with his magic. Mondo longs to join his idols, The Magnificent Four, on the grand stage.

Magnificent Mondo inspires children to follow their dreams, build self-confidence, and understand their self-worth, even when others say they can't.

BRIAN C. RODRIGUEZ has written stories across genres, from broadcast journalism to film and TV scripts. As a father of two, he was inspired to write his first children's book, Magnificent Mondo.

Meet Kevin. Meet Petros. Man vs. Bird. Car vs. Poop. Who will be the winner? Late one night, my daughter Aria couldn't go to sleep. After reading 10 books, she asked me to make up a story for her I said, “Sure. What should the story be about?” She said, “A bird!” Okay, I asked, “What is the bird doing?” She said, “Pooping” (she was three at the time).

“Pooping? Huh, okay.” And that's how the story came about.

Martirosyan was lucky enough to take a Children's Literature course at CSULA. It was her favorite undergraduate class, and she knew then that one day she would want to write for children. But, after college, she delved into a short career as a high school teacher.

Now, she is the proud mother of a little girl who is her muse. She got Sylvia back into the world of writing. She motivates her mother to tell stories that make her laugh, that encourage wonder, and that shape how she sees the world.

HELLO, NEIGHBOR!  It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Come along as this curly haired mother and daughter duo head out for their daily morning walk, and shout out “hello” to the ten delightful neighbors you see along the way.

 This story was also inspired by my daughter, Aria. Every morning we stepped outside to say hello to our neighbors. After Aria began talking, she spent most of her day asking question, after question, after question. One night I decided to make a list of all of the cute observations my then two-year old had made that week. The list became my guide for writing the book, which I hope readers find humorous and familiar.

An engaging tale of prophecy and magic… - Kirkus Reviews

Eric Munger's debut novel, 𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙢 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙯𝙚𝙧 𝙍𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜, is featured in the April 1 edition of Kirkus Reviews Magazine!

The first cries began at dawn. By nightfall, the great city of Saan was nothing but ash and silence.

𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙢 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙯𝙚𝙧 𝙍𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 is the first book in 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗮 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀, an epic fantasy series set in a world where ancient forces awaken, kingdoms fracture, and ordinary people are forced into extraordinary choices.

Eric is drawn to stories that explore power, ambition, loyalty, and friendship — especially the ripple effects of choices made under pressure. He believes fantasy works best when the world feels lived-in, shaped by flawed characters, difficult decisions, and consequences that refuse to stay contained.

Most days find Eric traveling across the country full time with his wife Jessica, and their cat Toby, in their RV. A fan of National Parks, he often draws inspiration for his stories from mountain, forest, and desert vistas they explore.

 A sweeping tale of war, faith, and a warrior caught between love and destiny

Templar Quest for The Holy Grail is an epic story set during the 3rd Crusade, where Knights Templar battle not only enemies of flesh and blood but also the shadows within. Blending rich historical detail with gripping prose, Armstrong brings alive the struggle for Jerusalem and the eternal mystery of The Holy Grail. At its heart lies the courage of Laird Kelan Armstrong – a warrior torn between duty, honor, and the sacrifices demanded by destiny. From the borderlands of Scotland to the deserts of the Holy Land, this sweeping journey immerses readers in battles, betrayals, and the timeless search for hope in a broken world.

BRIAN ARMSTRONG is a master storyteller with a deep passion for history and spirituality. With a background steeped in medieval studies and an abiding fascination for the Crusades, Armstrong brings both authenticity and heart to every page of Templar Quest for the Holy Grail.

He is a native of Southern California and traces his own roots back to the Scottish Armstrong Border Reiver Clan of warriors and beyond to the Viking Conquerors in the 9th C. in Northern Britton. Mr. Armstrong is also a member of the modern day Scottish Knights Templar, Priory of Robert the Bruce.

Armstrong spent his entire professional career working in Hollywood.  He earned an Emmy Award in 2013 and seven additional nominations for this prestigious honor.

His writing explores places where choices define character and faith becomes both burden and guide.

 Yang bought his first motorcycle as new immigrant to America, lonely and out of place. Whenever he rode that green Yamaha, he felt more in touch with life’s possibilities. Although the bike was stolen within a few months, Yang never forgot the feeling. It wasn’t until later in life that Yang got back on a motorcycle. By then, he’d settled into Silicon Valley amidst the technology revolution; and founded, scaled, and sold a half-billion-dollar tech startup. Then, during the upheaval of the dot-com bubble burst and a few failed attempts to get new companies off the ground, Yang felt a strong pull to reengage with himself. He revved up his bike and began riding into unfamiliar landscapes.

Coming Alive on the Ride narrates more than 40,000 miles of his travels, from California’s coast to the upper reaches of Alaska, Canada’s far eastern edge, and more.

This inspiring memoir is a reminder that, if we slow down and tune in our senses, adventure inspires and instructs the way nothing else can.

It’s 2002 in the world of The Beta Boys, and 16-year-old Roman Vallancourt has the audacious dream to become the next tech icon. He hatches a computer hacking heist that could make him a digital legend – or destroy everything important to him.

He recruits his two Armenian best friends as co-conspirators – one a cocky and relentless overachiever, the other a gaming savant who’s more comfortable handling controllers than conversations with girls.

The Beta Boys is more than a heist story: it’s an archival love letter to an analog-to-digital generation – navigating brutal social hierarchies, the awkward spark of first crushes, and the unfiltered weirdness of high school before social media.

Praise for the book: Hooked from page one. Follows the misadventures of a group of high school friends, and their heist-of-sorts.
