But little do they know that they are about to have a memorable and mysterious adventure like no other. After they eat their lunch under a big, beautiful tree, some of the grandchildren go to the playground while Grandma Joyce takes Khloe on a walk. But after they come upon on a row of bushes that suddenly move, Grandma Joyce and Khloe stumble upon a spectacular secret passageway that leads to a mountain made of gumdrops! After Grandma Joyce gathers the rest of the grandkids and Grandpa Johnny, they all embark on a magical adventure where rocks are made of bubble gum, swing sets are made of candy sticks, and little gingerbread men welcome them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Referred as "The feel of a New Harry Potter Epic Series" Soliza's new work, The Tales of the Dream Keepers: The Legend of the Dream Castle makes me think we could be seeing the birth of a new set of epic stories for young adults. This time instead of witchcraft and muggles the reader is enticed into a swirl of a story by an uncanny and wonderful cast of characters from the Interstellar Black Hole Vortex and the magical Gumdrop Mountain on Pandora Island 'somewhere' on earth. In the first tale, three brothers, Victor, Rudy and Walt, and the beautiful Britta face the evil SnitchSnatchers from the Black Hole Vortex who can steal your dreams, whishes, energies and desires. With the help of giant mice with names like Sir Thomas, Twitty and Tweet, and Zeek, a white horse who wants to be a zebra, the intrepid foursome must find a way to reach the Dream Castle on fabled Gumdrop Mountain and defeat the SnitchSnatchers. With wonderfully imaginative new twists and turns at every step the Dream Keepers Legend is one page-flipping story. I highly recommend it. Larry Pontius, Former Marketing VP for Walt Disney and Disneyland, 'Waking Walt' "What an accomplishment! Your story is fabulous and I am impressed with your creativity and marketing plan for your books. I would be more than happy to help you in any way because you are a friend and most of all a genuine person with great ideas..." Sandy Murman, State Representative Children's Advocate The Tales of the Dream Keepers: The Legend of the Dream Castle, was one of the Top Award Winners in the 13th annual SFWA 2004 Novel Writing Competition.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICE • A young woman searches for the truth about her father—and the secrets of her family—in this “big-hearted debut that absolutely crackles with smarts” (Emma Straub). “A warm and funny debut novel . . . perceptive, wry, and witty.”—The New York Times Two years out of college, Ellie Adler has a job in journalism, an older lover, and a circle of smart friends. Her beloved father, James, who has children from three marriages, unites the family with his gentle humor and charisma, but Ellie has always believed she is her father's favorite. When he suddenly dies, she finds herself devastated by the unexpected loss. Then, at the reading of his will, she learns that instead of leaving her his prized possession—a baseball that holds emotional resonance for them both—he has left her a seemingly ridiculous, even insulting gift. Worse, he’s given the baseball to someone no one in the family has ever heard of. In her grief, Ellie wonders who could have possibly meant more to her father than she did. Setting out to track this person down, she learns startling information about who her father really was and who she herself is becoming. Moving, witty, and unforgettable, The Catch is a story of the gifts we’re given over the course of a lifetime, by family, friends, and strangers—the ones we want and the ones that catch us unawares.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A journey to Alaska’s remote roadless villages, during a time of great historical transition, brings us this enduring portrait of a place and its people. Alutiiq, Yup’ik, Inupiaq, and Athabascan subjects reveal themselves as entirely contemporary individuals with deep longings and connection to the land and to their past. Tom Kizzia’s account of his travels off the Alaska road system, first published in 1991, has endured with a sterling reputation for its thoughtful, poetic, unflinching engagement with the complexity of Alaska’s rural communities. Wake of the Unseen Object is now considered some of the finest nonfiction writing about Alaska. This new edition includes an updated introduction by the author, looking at what remains the same after thirty years and what is different—both in Alaska, and in the expectations placed on a reporter visiting from another world.
