On the anniversary of her sister’s disappearance, she experiences a nasty fall while ice skating and knocks her head on the ice. When Layla wakes up, she finds that she has been magically transported to a kingdom made of ice and snow called Verglas. There, she is declared the warrior Verglas has been waiting for. She must choose between fighting against the Frosts—a long-time enemy—or going home without finding out more about her sister’s disappearance. Will she succeed as the warrior like her predecessors? Or will she crumble under all the pressure?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique book about a unique life chronicles a persistent journey from an isolated Appalachian area mired in deep poverty. Illegal bootleggers and nasty mountain villains haunt the young man's family. A fundamentalist preacher condemns the young man to hell. As a four-year-old first-grader, he perseveres to academic excellence. Numerous episodes in his misspent youth ring outrageous with an abundance of original sin. The young man frantically struggles to find acceptance and eventually receives a surprise calling. Driven to find meaning in life, he battles against a social anxiety disorder and eventually speaks to audiences of thousands. He is the founder of a first-of-its kind publication for clergy and a clergy conference that renowned theologian Walter Brueggemann calls "a major piece of work that will stand when the history of the U.S. church is written. It must be providential that you were led from your start to that great work." Experience the epic travels from hillbilly obscurity to encounters with fame and the sacred. Paths cross with Archbishop Desmond Tutu, civil rights activists, U.S. senators, and world-famous musicians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have all learned to acknowledge the "elephant in the room", the unspoken issue that is affecting our ability to move forward. However, after getting the issue into the open, time passes and we begin to stop paying close attention to the issue. It begins to slip away from us, while still affecting our views and our behaviour. The elephant in the room has become an elephant on roller skates. This book looks at some familiar issues that we seem to notice for a while, and then stop subjecting to careful consideration: they range from the free market, telling the truth, and liberty through to more personal issues concerned with mutual respect, entitlement, and our willingness to give way to the opinions of others. There are many such escaped elephants out there. This is both an introduction to some of these issues, and an encouragement for you to become an elephant spotter. Good luck!

Book excerpt: Jenna and Billy are in love. He's an app developer, a hyper-plugged-in citizen of the internet, with a big Scottish family and winning smile. She is a yoga teacher, tuned in to the vibes of the spiritual universe, who was abandoned by her mother as an infant and orphaned by her father's recent death. When they meet, it's electric, and it is no time before they are married and eager to start their own family. But when they can't get pregnant, Billy devises a plan: they would raise funds for their in vitro fertilization on Kickstarter, offering donor perks like cutting the cord, naming the baby, and catching the baby when it takes its first steps. The good news is that they make their fundraising goal, get pregnant and have a baby! The bad news is that their marriage begins to fall apart when they have to deliver on all those perks. It's hard enough to survive delivering a baby without a performance artist making a documentary of the cord cutting. It's difficult enough to get baby to sit up and smile for a six month portrait without a local politician taking up half the lens. What does it mean to be owned by the internet? Lydia Netzer's Everybody's Baby explores how relationships grow and fail in public and private life, the hazards of living "in the cloud," and the nature of love online and off.
