Everything changes when Kyle stumbles upon his doppelgänger dying in his yard. The boy claims to be from another world and begs Kyle to take his place. Soon after, strange occurrences from space tentacles to dragons begin to haunt Kyle's life, forcing him to confront a mind-bending reality: his ordinary existence is insignificant to the fate of a universe on the verge of destruction. He must find the Merlin of his world before a powerful creature destroys everything and everyone he loves. Can Kyle become the person his doppelgänger was meant to be, or will the universe fall to ruin?

Worm-infested creatures, vengeful gods, and… pudding cups. Swept into a war that spans realms, Kyle must fight to protect his friends Gwen and Lance, who are as brave as they are unprepared for the dangers they face. With the eccentric Merlin as their guide, the trio ventures through a land of living myths and divine struggles, where gods wage a desperate battle against an enemy that threatens to unravel everything—the same enemy hunting Kyle. But he isn’t just fighting to save this world; he’s fighting to prove to himself that he’s more than a scared boy hiding behind ancient legends. With every step, Kyle draws closer to understanding who he truly is—and what it means to bear the name Pendragon.

Have you ever wondered what kids get up to while riding the school bus? Well, here are some of their jokes, funny stories, and humorous expressions--all field tested by veteran bus driver Harwood, whose passengers awarded them an A+ for humor!

The following stories are inspired by Jerry Harwood's life experience including his time working in Rwanda in the late 90's and previous career working in the mental health field. The stories are fiction, but anchored in the reality of life.

Barbarians, Dragons, Mermaids, and Wizards abound in this eclectic collection of fantasy from Chattanooga's own, The Corner Scribbler's. Forward and "An Oath's Other Edge" a Shijuren universe short story by guest author, Rob Howell.

Kids are like little learning sponges. They are so eager to soak up every new and exciting life experience they encounter and they view and interpret these experiences through unfiltered, inexperienced, and innocent sensors. Kindergarteners provide a perfect and easy to understand example of how children react to their first-time learning experiences around school. So, it is very important that when children are experiencing something for the first time, that experience should be positive, pleasant and meaningful. That's why it's so important that we adults help them to understand and relate these experiences to their lives. When children first come to school, they are so excited, and they just want to have fun. If you can make their learning experiences interesting and fun, you are setting them up for a school experience that will be a learning banquet for them and will give them an insatiable appetite for learning. My name is Jerry Harwood and I'm a retired teacher and school bus driver. I have lived, worked, and joked with elementary school children for most of my life. Since it is my contention that children learn from their play and are always looking to have fun, it seems only natural that a funny joke book for kids, like "JOKES FOR KIDS ABOUT THEIR FAVORITE DAYS" can be a very good tool to encourage children to become very good readers and learners.

This collection of eclectic short stories is the work of a group of writers that meet twice a month to discuss their works, the craft, the business, and their lives. Each year they create a collection of stories as varied as their styles, genre, and opinions. They donate the royalties to an organization that encourages young writers.

The second collection of stories from a group of writers in Hixson, TN. The group is composed of writers very different styles and genres, in age, experience, political outlook, and their stance on the Oxford comma. They have again created an eclectic collection of short stories. Their hope is that you find an author whose style you like, who stirs your emotion with a phrase, who plants a story in your mind that you remember long after you've put the book aside. This year, the profits from their collection of stories will again go to support a regional arts or writing program. The profits from sales of the first edition will go to the Young Southern Student Writers sponsored by the Southern Lit Alliance and UTC's Department of English to help offset the cost of the awards ceremony they hold each year.
