The Pragmatist’s Guide to Crafting Religion

About The Pragmatist’s Guide to Crafting Religion

Humanity consists of coevolving software (our religion and culture), firmware (our hardcoded proclivities, such as language acquisition), and hardware (our brains). Ripping out a third of the equation has led to innumerous unintended—and typically negative—consequences. This book offers a guide to rebuilding or fortifying this increasingly neglected aspect of the human condition.

About Uncommon by Rachel Rowan

Modern-day Bridgerton meets Pretty Woman in this steamy romcom novella.

The Earl of Lansbury’s mother thinks it’s high time he was married. But playboy Edward is in no rush to tie himself to one woman, not even when one conveniently falls at his feet during a bridal photoshoot at his country seat, Lansbury Hall.

However, the Grace Kelly lookalike—complete with wedding dress—gives him ideas. Firstly: can he persuade her to act as his girlfriend and stop his mother’s nagging? And secondly: can he persuade her into his bed…?

[A]n impressive story that packs a punch. —Kirkus Reviews

Trapped between a homicidal brother and a homophobic podcaster eager to reveal her lesbian romance novels, a seventy-year-old grandmother seeks help in Clear, Alaska.

Suffocating in a loveless marriage and lonely existence, Taylor MacKenzie lives only through her writing, using the pen name Brooke Skipstone, her best friend in college and lover before her death in 1974.

Afraid of being murdered before anyone in her family or community knows her life story, Taylor writes an autobiography about her time with Brooke and shares it with those closest to her, hoping for understanding and acceptance.

Accused of promoting the queering and debasement of America by a local podcaster, Taylor embroils the conservative community in controversy but fights back with the help of a new, surprising friend.

Can she endure the attacks from haters and gaslighters? Can she champion the queering she represents?

And will she survive?

A Short History of Lithuania to 1569: Centennial Edition (1921–2021) By Josef A. Katzel

About A Short History of Lithuania to 1569: Centennial Edition (1921–2021) By Josef A. Katzel

Why did Lithuania’s dictator in the 1920s (the pro-Nazi Augustinas Voldemaras) kick the author out of the country for writing this seemingly harmless book? What was the significance of the fact that the author’s father tutored a teenage Lenin while both were in law school in Russia in the 1880s? And how was this ground-breaking equivalent of “Lithuanian History for Dummies” a century ahead of its time?

This centennial edition of a ground-breaking classic, translated from the original Russian into smooth and idiomatic English, with numerous images that bring the story to life, includes an introduction written by the author’s grandson—a Harvard graduate and PhD in political science—in which he describes the detective work through which he solved various mysteries relating to the book. He also describes three interesting parallels that were impressed upon him, including the striking similarities between the dictator Voldemaras and the present-day American authoritarian politician Donald J. Trump.

In a sense, this book represents a case study in the power of the written word and the repercussions that its exercise can generate. It is also a story of an oppressed minority people struggling mightily to break free from centuries of vicious prejudice. One hundred years later, at a time of heightened assault on both truth and freedom of speech worldwide—with authoritarianism steadily on the rise—these themes remain as timely as ever.

Recycled Hope by Linda Drugan

About Featured Book: Recycled Hope by Linda Drugan

Linda, now middle aged, relishes reminiscing about her childhood and what people commonly refer to as the good old days. This is especially prevalent when she gets together with her siblings, and their now extended families. One particular Saturday afternoon’s visit to her mother’s townhouse, which is located on what was once the McDowell’s Farm, Linda is reminded of the events that transpired there when she was a young girl growing up in the sixties. Though at one time the farm was profitable and bustling with activity, by the time Linda’s family moved to the neighborhood, McDowell’s farm was overgrown and uncared for by a crotchety, old farmer and his kind hearted wife.

This sets the backdrop for this whimsical and nostalgic tale which takes many unexpected twists and turns. Linda’s strained relationship with her older sister, Karen, does a complete 180 due to the fateful events that occur one fall afternoon in 1967, when they take a shortcut through McDowell’s farm on their way home from school. One wrong decision leads to a chain of events that one would never anticipate and takes the reader through a journey which is tragic and heartwarming.

Who’s Behind the Mask?

About Who’s Behind the Mask?

Who’s Behind the Mask is a picture book to help children become comfortable with face masks and shields. Children are learning how to process and understand facial expressions and emotions, during a time when everyone is wearing a mask.

“I am a preschool teacher. This book was VERY popular with the children! It’s essentially ‘peek-a-boo’/guessing game with a face mask. The reader sees a masked person and tries to guess who is behind the mask; they are revealed on the next page. A great concept. The children really LOVED it (very popular), and it achieved its intended aim of increasing children’s comfort with facial covering use. Perfect for all ages (3+).” – Abigail Miller

An Empire of Geese and Hats

About An Empire of Geese and Hats

Morton Plonsky is certain he should be dead.

And yet now he sits in an unknown desert as an automobile sized goose soars overhead. His former student, Ashley — the person he is certain just murdered him — stands before him grinning maniacally in a desolate land dotted with unexplained corpses. This is no situation for a history teacher, and the unlikely beginning of his path to emperor.

Forced to follow the dangerously unstable Ashley, and her upsettingly vague heroic prophecy, Morton will travel this land, known simply as the Someplace Else, in the hopes of fulfilling his fate. Fighting against hordes of dangerous fools and zany inter-dimensional creatures, he must traverse a gruesome alternate world to seek the emperor and use all of his cunning to end the three thousand year war between the war goose riding Goosemen and the menacing, kind of generic Empire – all in the hopes of being granted passage home.

And his unexpected ascension to emperor? Well, that’s another story all together, and one likely to reveal the true masters of this terrible place.

An absurd and savagely violent romp through a wild sci-fi/fantasy adventure for those interested in a world of absolute madness.
