Midwestern Pulp
A 300 page fictional exposé on the Midwestern Millennial Experience.
Generations of chaotically mild behavior set the stage for a group of friends as they travel back to the Great Lakes for a buddy’s funeral.
A post-modern, comedic tragedy that reads like a movie for people who haven’t finished a book since high-school.
Anything
A re-imagination of the “You can do anything!” mantra that floated through every after-school-special of the 1990s.
This book challenges the reader to move the emphasis from
“You can do ANYTHING”
to
“You CAN do anything”
in hopes that a kid (and maybe their parents) will take the opportunities they’re given and use their gifts for good–rather than just doing whatever they want... just because they can.
Lessons in improvisation and thinking outside the box.
Don’t Get Too High (said the Bird to the Fly)
This is a story of two old friends who lose touch, meet up, hash out their differences, and reconnect. It's a book for aunts, uncles, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, hippie-grandparents and anyone who understands that the world isn't black and white–it's a very hazy grey.
Chicken’s Made of Chicken
When an overzealous chicken decides he wants to become a carnivore, his fellow barn yard animals decide to take matters into their own hands.
This story of food awareness, self awareness, actions, and consequences belongs on the book shelf of every child that doesn't mind some real talk and some honest life lessons.
Weird Lil Prayers
Every night, when we say our bedtime prayers, it's easy to remember our friends, family, and the people we see everyday. But what if we started including the people we don't know– the people we may pass by and never get to speak to– the people we may not understand– the people who live their lives everyday, just as we do? This is a book designed to remind us to keep it real while exploring this weird lil world of ours.
The Earth Book
With the strange weather these days, we need to remind ourselves to be grateful and good to a planet that’s provided us with so much goodness.
