For journalist Anna Jones of the New York Daily Journal, nothing is more important than finding the truth. So when Fort Riley, Kansas, suffers a terrorist attack, Anna jumps at the chance to see what’s happening at the base. She and her partner Viktor Simonson rush to the heartland to cover the events as they unfold. Once on the ground, they agree to divide and conquer—one will check out the damage at the military installation, the other will attend a press conference with Kansas Governor Marie Danielle Schreiber in the nearby college town of Manhattan. In no time, Anna realizes the attack may not be as cut-and-dried as it appears. She also loses track of Viktor.

Meanwhile, on a farm outside Junction City, housewife Theresa Walkermore is grappling with mysteries of her own. Between her husband Noah’s unexplained absences and middle-of-the-night activities, she’s sure he’s being unfaithful to her again. But as she’s drawn into his world, she fears he’s embroiled in something far worse than adultery.

Sharing the same values and moral strength, Anna and Theresa realize that, together, they may be the only ones capable of stopping a plot that threatens not just Kansas, but the United States itself....

Along the way, he details his cross-country travels, spiritual practices, and the miracle of surviving a quadruple bypass surgery, as well as a post-recovery return to India to reconnect with his family, heritage, and the enduring ties that shaped his life.

Thoughtful, rich, and full of heart, The Power of Persistence is the memoir of an avid traveler, world citizen, and loving patriarch of a sprawling family putting their own roots down across North America.

Praise for Echo in the Well

"Finding books that spark genuine wonder in children feels increasingly rare. Echo in the Well checked every box for what I look for in a book to read with my school-age child. Kathryn has written a story that nourishes on every level: the story, the magic, the science, the whole heart of it. This book clearly communicates that children and their choices matter. It's joyful and wise and genuinely magical, the kind of story that reminds kids (and the adults reading alongside them) that the natural world is alive, worthy of our care, and full of wonder. I loved every page."

​

In these pages, you’ll meet various women, all striving to reach for what they want without hurting the people they love. At times, there’s just too much change, movement, and divergent paths. Life’s not always fair, but sometimes, if you know where to look, it can be shockingly beautiful too.

After publishing his first book of poetry, Gateway to Obscurity: Life in Verse, Ken detailed some of his journey toward Christianity in the book Strength and Vulnerability. Since then, many things have happened, both in the world and in his personal life, deepening his devotion to God and inspiring the poetry that reflects his profound spiritual gifts. Due to the influence of both sermon and scripture, Ken’s body of work advanced, with only a portion displayed in this compilation, Transformative Journey.

The collection of free-verse poems charts the poet’s spiritual and emotional journey from a life of struggle and confusion to a path of healing through Christian faith. He reaches out to other new believers in the persona of a layperson lacking in cultivated knowledge but with an open heart, eager to learn and share “what God’s love means to us all.” The poet uses literary techniques that focus his artistic ability toward the Holy Spirit, seeking to comfort a world overshadowed by darkness and to make accessible the love, beauty, and gentleness of the everlasting light of Christ.

This book of poetry on the Christian theme of redemption and transformation of the new Christian disciple will appeal to all Christians of heartfelt faith, no matter how recent their commitment. It is hoped that you will be able to relate to some of this poetry, which is both personal and revealing, as the struggle of life’s many ups and downs benefits from the navigation that God’s wisdom provides.

What if a spoiled prince behaved like the world owed him everything—and everyone else had to clean up his mess?

The Prince: A Story About Being Nice is more than a children’s tale.

On the surface, it’s a funny and outrageous story about a boy who always wants more—toys, friends, attention—and who throws tantrums and blames everyone else when he doesn’t get his way. But beneath the humor lies a clever allegory about power, privilege, and the consequences of self-interest, echoing the ironies of modern American politics.

As the prince’s neighbors grow weary of his antics, he begins to discover that demanding, lying, and grabbing won’t win him friends or respect. Only kindness, honesty, and sharing can do that. Witty and thought-provoking, this story also raises bigger questions: what happens when leaders act like spoiled children? And what does it truly mean to be “the prince”?

“In 1957 two Americans, Jack Kerouac and Neil Cassady, became legends with the publication of On the Road, a fictional account of a drive across the United States that was less a journey than an opportunity for an intense and performative celebration of self.

That same year two Canadians, one an aspiring artist of 24, the other a wildlife biologist just 22, went around the world by road, with nary a thought given to their own place in their unfolding saga. What mattered to them as they traversed the Serengeti, inched through mud forests of Congo, reached India and Nepal, joined military forays into the jungles of Malaya, reaching finally the deserts of Australia, was what lay beyond the shadow of self, everything to be seen and experienced on the very edge of uncertainty and true adventure.

Along the way they forged a bond of friendship that would endure for more than sixty years, even as both men left an indelible mark on the world; Robert Bateman as the world’s most celebrated wildlife artist, and Bristol Foster, the scientist singularly responsible for setting aside in perpetuity more than 100 ecological reserves in British Columbia. The Rover Boys is their story, finally told, and it is a glorious account.”

Anxiety was not part of Ember’s plan. She has everything she’s ever wanted: a home, a successful career, and a loving partner she can’t wait to marry. When her past unexpectedly sets off a series of panic attacks, she is desperate to keep it from ruining the life she’s built, and resorts to the one thing she never imagined she’d need—therapy.

Sana is stuck in a nowhere place with no memory of who she is or how she got there. She’s told she is a mystical guardian with time-bending magic, assigned to help a little girl in need. It doesn’t take Sana long to realize that Amelia’s story is anything but magical. But what choice does she have? If anybody knows how it feels to be unseen, it’s Sana.

Stay out of trouble. It’s a rule. Amelia tries very hard to follow the rules. She knows bad things happen when rules are broken. So, when she notices a stranger sitting across from her at the kitchen table—the one nobody else seems to see—she also knows better than to say anything. A ghost at the dinner table most definitely spells T-R-O-U-B-L-E.

As each woman fights for the future, knotted threads of the past will force Sana, Amelia, and Ember to face the painful choice that binds them together: stop waiting for an apology and take back their power or stay tangled and trapped by inherited wounds they didn’t deserve to begin with.
