UPCOMING RELEASES
| Firesoul By Frank LaVoie Tristan, a Ranger working deep inside Panic Wood, a cataclysmic storm, a ship named the Dreaming Wyrm, and allies that form an uneasy truce in order to battle a former conspiratorial Kelmist court sage – sarcastic, color changing dragons, a unique system of magic, beautiful and original cities, complex and emotional characters, and rare beasts of all sorts combine to create a new world that readers will find fascinating and imaginative while simultaneously steeped in issues of morality and conscious. |
| Dreamworld By Brian Wood Trayvian James is just a normal kid. Well, almost. During the day, he floats through his high school life in Colorado as a sarcastic, self-aware loner, simply trying to make it through school without falling asleep or making an idiot out of himself. But at night, when Tray falls asleep, he dreams himself into Havehn, a world filled with magic and wonder, where he is a Warrior Mage, and possibly the most powerful practitioner of magic in the world (hey, it is his dream). But all is not well in Havehn. An ancient Prophecy looms, and Tray is pretty sure he is at the center of the coming storm (actually, he's quite certain, since its called the Prophecy of the Dreamer). Just when a beautiful girl (named Claire) walks into his real life, and Tray finally gets the guts to talk to her, the dominoes of Prophecy start to fall in his dreams. Soon, Tray learns that his worlds may not be as separate as he thinks, and Darkness could take the only girl he's ever loved. Dreamworld is the first novel in The Chronicles of Trayvian James, and is a story laced with humor, wit, action, and wonder. The only thing more exciting than falling asleep is waking up. |
| The Art of Athletic Transferable Skills Joe Heskett and Frank LaVoie Finally, an on-the-edge-of-your-seat read that offers up an opportunity for the athlete in all of us: transfer those skills learned on the court, field, or mat—to everyday living. Skills that parents and coaches can impart to their children and apply themselves on a day to day basis. The Art of Athletic Transferable Skills (ATS) is a cutting edge concept that is exactly what the sports world, what average people— athletic or not—need. The backbone to ATS is Joe Heskett’s story; battling beyond normal childhood insecurities, Joe was raised by his white grandmother—a bi-racial child with an absent father and a mother whose murder was never solved—Heskett tells his heart wrenching story of how sports saved his life. Inevitably, sport gave him perspective, and the tools necessary for him to maintain a position in the top ranks of the collegiate wrestling world and ultimately compete for a spot on the 2004 Olympic team. Heskett never realized how valuable those skills were until the day he collapsed on the mat and nearly died. This is his story, this is your story— |
