Speed Bumps: And Other Impediments to Life in the Fast Lane

 

Speed Bumps:

And Other Impediments to Life in the Fast Lane 

Vicki Paris Goodman's enlightening memoir is a must-read for those who strive for perfection but sometimes find themselves tripping over hurdles of their own making. Whether you're a driven professional, someone juggling countless responsibilities, or a type B hard-pressed to decipher the motivations of a type A in your life, Speed Bumps will resonate with your own reality. Goodman's tell-all unmasks the little-known trials of life as viewed through the lens of a type A personality. With fierce honesty and abundant humor, she takes readers on a captivating journey exposing the perils of holding oneself and others to an impossibly high standard. Goodman steers clear of a clinical analysis of the type A, instead focusing on her personal triumphs and failures. She reveals how her relentless pursuit of excellence often became an obstacle rather than a path to success. Her vivid storytelling paints a picture of the internal and external pitfalls encountered by those who live life in overdrive. Speed Bumps is not just a memoir, but a guide to understanding the importance of self-awareness and humility. The book's narrative encourages readers to reflect on their own experience, and offers insights illuminating the path to greater balance and fulfillment.

Guardians Of Glyndor:

The Disappearing Creatures:

Magical School Adventure with Romance and Mystery

This fresh fantasy series-launching debut is perfect for readers who love coming-of-age magical school adventures, sprinkled with romance and mystery. Sixteen-year-old Jesse is always counting—the forty-two tiles in his café, the 37.8% chance of rain on Thursdays, and the stubborn minutes that keep him stuck behind the counter. It’s how he makes sense of a world that’s never quite made sense of him. Halfway across the globe, Emily feels too much, drowning in emotions that don't belong to her, in a world that always asks her to be less. Their lives change when a mysterious green-haired woman appears with an invitation to Glyndor, a prestigious school hidden in Eldora—the First Earth. In this world, magic is deeply personal. Jesse and Emily train alongside students from all over Earth, where quirks, traits, and personalities shape the magic they wield. But Eldora is dying. Its magic is fading. The wealthy hoard what remains, while the Blanched are left powerless. As the Three Moons align, Eldora's guardians start to disappear. Strange creatures emerge. Whispers of an ancient darkness grow louder. And amid it all, Jesse and Emily find themselves drawn together by something neither of them can ignore. In this coming-of-age tale of magic, love and friendship, Jesse and Emily must decide who they are and what they stand for—before all they hold dear is lost. The 2025 Second Edition brings a significant update, with new chapters, expanded scenes, refined storytelling throughout, and brand-new illustrations and cover art.

You and the Sunshine, Dylan: The Life and Times of a Caring Friend

 

You and the Sunshine, Dylan:

The Life and Times of a Caring Friend

Author : Linda Sanders

The Healing Presence of a Golden Heart: A Reflection on You and the Sunshine, Dylan

There are animals who become part of our families—and then there are animals who become part of the world. In You and the Sunshine, Dylan, Linda Sanders takes us on an unforgettable journey with her golden retriever, Dylan, whose life was more than extraordinary—it was transformative.

This is not just the story of a beloved pet. This is the story of a companion who became a quiet but powerful force in the lives of many. From nursing homes and hospitals to schools, parades, and memorial services, Dylan’s golden presence radiated comfort, connection, and healing. Through therapy work, grief

outreach, and community service, he offered what few could: solace in silence, a moment of peace, and a reassuring sense that everything would be okay—even when it may not be.

Through Sanders’ graceful and deeply personal narrative, we see not only the love between a dog and his human but the impact of that love on others. Dylan’s story becomes a lens through which we explore what it truly means to give—to offer time, presence, and heart without ever expecting anything in return.

"A heartwarming tribute to an extraordinary therapy dog….a poignant celebration of unconditional love, healing, and the unbreakable bond between humans and animals."

- Greg P.

More than just a memoir, You and the Sunshine, Dylan is a gentle meditation on loss and hope, service and love. It is a tribute to the kind of healing that transcends words, and to the quiet strength of animals who remind us to simply be. Dylan was not a trained therapist in the traditional sense—but he offered therapy in its purest form: connection, comfort, and unconditional acceptance.

Linda Sanders writes with tenderness and clarity, inviting readers to reflect on the moments in life when we are held together by grace—grace that often comes with fur, floppy ears, and a wagging tail. Her storytelling is layered with warmth, subtle humor, and quiet reverence, drawing us into a world where one dog’s service became a living testimony of love in action.

Whether you’ve known the companionship of a therapy animal or simply marveled at the gentle wisdom of dogs, this book will stir something within you. It’s not only a celebration of Dylan’s legacy but a reminder of our own capacity for kindness, empathy, and presence.

Because sometimes, the greatest teachers come without words—only wagging tails and golden hearts.

A Pause Between Two Names He spoke through stammered syllables.

A Pause Between Two Names

He spoke through stammered syllables. She listened with her heart.

In the early 2000s — long before dating apps and DMs — a shy boy named Ankit found love in the most unexpected way: through voice messages on a landline.

Stammering through his own name, terrified of vowels, Ankit had always been afraid to speak — until one day, his voice met someone who truly listened.
What started as a whispered message into the unknown became a soul-deep connection with a girl he’d never seen… but already felt.

She didn’t know his face.
He didn’t know her name.
But something real was growing — in pauses, in poetry, in silence.

This is not your usual love story.

It’s a story of:

• 💌 Soul connection in the age of missed calls and dial tones
• 🧠 Emotional healing through unexpected companionship
• 🤫 First love without filters, photos, or even names
• 🕊️ A stammering boy and a patient girl — trying to find their voice in each other

Based on a true story, A Pause Between Two Names is a tender, humorous, and deeply nostalgic journey into what love felt like before the internet got loud.

If you’ve ever loved quietly, waited faithfully, or hoped against hope —
this story is for you.

To My Ram: With Love

 

To My Ram: With Love

Author: Cheryl Knoll

Where Love Meets the Divine: A Journey Through To My Ram

There are books that speak, and then there are books that listen—to the heart, to the soul, to the whispers we often ignore. Cheryl Knoll’s To My Ram is one of those rare works that does both. This isn’t just poetry. It’s a revelation—of love awakened, of healing long overdue, of divine orchestration woven into everyday moments.

With more than 120 free-verse poems, Knoll traces the emotional arc of falling in love later in life—unexpected, disarming, and beautiful in its depth. The “Ram,” both muse and mirror, represents a presence that entered not just her life, but her spirit. Through tender musings, playful flirtations, and sacred introspection, she unpacks the wonder of a connection that feels heaven-sent.

But To My Ram isn’t only about romance. It’s about becoming—becoming whole, becoming brave, becoming open. Knoll weaves spirituality through every line, not with grand declarations, but with quiet certainty. Conversations with God, nudges from angels, and reflections on timing form the invisible threads holding these poems together.

This is a collection for anyone who’s ever asked, “Is it too late?” For those who’ve carried ache quietly, and for those who still believe—perhaps secretly—that love arrives when we least expect it, in ways we never imagined.

Some books are read. Others are felt. To My Ram lingers.

And for those already familiar with Cheryl Knoll’s work, To My Ram marks a meaningful fourth entry in her growing collection. Following the soul-stirring pages of Face in the Window, She Hears the Wind, and Hidden Hills, this newest work is both a continuation and a homecoming—anchored in faith, love, and the mystery of connection.

Smolder & Sugar

(McAlester's Sinful Nights Book 1)

One grumpy ex-military man. One sassy bakery owner. And a small-town scandal that’s about to turn up the heat… Charlie Dawson has two rules: Never mix business with pleasure and never fall for a man who doesn’t do sweets. But when Wyatt Jameson, a brooding ex-soldier with a past as dark as his coffee, keeps showing up at her bakery, she starts to rethink both. Six months of stolen glances and sharp banter have done nothing to shake his unreadable exterior—until a break-in at Sugar & Comfort changes everything. Now? Wyatt isn’t just watching from the sidelines—he’s staying close. Too close. With someone targeting her bakery, Wyatt refuses to leave her unprotected. And the more time they spend together, the harder it is for Charlie to ignore the heat simmering beneath his stoic facade. He’s all rough edges, but when he looks at her, she swears she can feel the embers of something dangerously addictive. But Wyatt didn’t come to McAlester looking for a fresh start. He came to escape. And Charlie? She’s never been the kind of woman to settle for half a man’s heart. With a mystery unraveling around them, late-night confessions, and one stormy night that changes everything, can Charlie convince Wyatt that some things—like love and cinnamon rolls—are worth the risk? Or will he walk away before the fire between them ignites into something neither of them can control?
