Can a worried mother find the perfect matches for her family of eccentrics on remote Whale Island?
 

Amelia
 

In the spring of 1910, an advertisement I spotted in the Boston newspaper called out to me. “Wealthy family in need of secretary on Whale Island. Must have an affinity for books.” When I'm offered the position, I do not hesitate to pack my meagre belongings and travel to Washington state. After all, I have nothing to lose. I've been dismissed from my current position. I have no family. It's all a dream come true. The only problem? My employer, Benedict Tutheridge, makes my heart flutter and my knees wobble. I didn't expect him to be devastatingly handsome or interesting. Unfortunately, I'm not from prestige or wealth. A man like Benedict would never marry a woman like me.
 

Benedict
 

In a town full of misfits, I win the prize. After my father's untimely death, I'm expected to run the family business. However, despite my efforts and education, I can barely read or write. At my mother's urging, I agree to hire a secretary, fully expecting A.F. Young to be a man. To my utter shock, Amelia Frances is very much a woman. A beautiful, beguiling one. A woman who would never fall for the town idiot.
 

A clean and wholesome historical romance that will pull on your heartstrings and have you cheering for second chances in this new family saga by USA Today Bestselling author Tess Thompson. 

Blitz: The Foopy Song! by G.D. Griffiths

The Foopy Song!

by G.D. Griffiths

Children's Book

Food goes in and poop comes out-it's the circle of happy!

Mealtimes can be a struggle, but The Foopy Song is here to turn every bite into a celebration. Follow the rhythmic logic of the "Foopy" cycle: from the very first munch to the final wiggle!

This catchy, cheerful and joyful book helps children understand that eating isn't just about sitting still-it's the fuel that lets them play, laugh, and poop their way to a happy day. By showing kids how food leads to energy and energy leads to play, it turns the daily routine into a delightful, rhythmic experience.

BECAUSE!

Eat. Poop. Play. Repeat!

With a bouncy rhythm parents can sing or read, it's the ultimate guide to why we eat, how we feel, and why a little "poop" is a very big deal.

About the Author

 

 G.D.'s storytelling spark was ignited in the hallowed land of Wales, where his childhood was spent exploring the sea until the legendary midnight summer twilight. His journey led him through academia, earning degrees in Computer Science and Operations Management, culminating in a PhD focused on Virtual Reality.

While pursuing his studies in Nottingham, he met his wife. Together, their spirit of adventure took them first to New Zealand, where G.D. worked in the video game industry and taught Scuba Diving. A seemingly simple job inquiry brought them to California, a place they planned to "try for one year," and where they still reside almost fourteen years later in Redondo Beach.

The family, which welcomed their son in 2012, is completed by Rhea, their quirky German Shepherd. Rhea became the key inspiration for G.D.'s first book, ABC's With Rhea, A doggy journey through the alphabet. Having observed that children learn best through stories, G.D. wrote this book to craft a specific, relatable world for each letter, encouraging children to connect deeply with the subject.

He has recently published his second book, Olly's Journey, and is already hard at work weaving new tales and adventures for his readers.

G.D.'s mission is to empower children to pursue their own creative writing journey.

Blitz: Oh, Tal! Not Like That (Oh Tal! Series #2) by Tal Anderson, illustrations by Michael Richey White

Oh, Tal! Not Like That

by Tal Anderson

Children's Picture Book

Date Published: April 15, 2026

Oh, Tal! Not Like That., a new book by autistic actor Tal Anderson and award-winning Hollywood artist, Michael Richey White, is Book 2 in the Oh, Tal! series for children.

Tal and the family cat, Winnie are once again taking on the world, and this time, they're doing it at school. Tal starts the school year off excited, but quickly learns that in the classroom, they like kids to follow directions, and to be the same, and do things uniformly. Tal has different ideas, however, and classmates and teachers work hard to teach and model the "right way" to do things.

In the end, they all learn a valuable lesson: that there are more ways than one to get things done, and that expressing yourself authentically leads to good things. Once again, Tal wins over hearts and confirms it's okay to be different, be yourself, and to follow your own path.

 

About the Author

Tal Anderson is a professional actor, filmmaker, and writer. She is an advocate for change, using her voice and unique platform as an autistic actor to support inclusion and authentic representation in front of and behind the camera in Hollywood. She is best known for her work in the Netflix series "Atypical" as Sid, but can also be seen and heard in many other productions including, guest-starring in Season 5 of "Magnum P.I." on NBC, and as the English voice of Tina in the Disney Plus series, "Team Chocolate." Tal has always been a storyteller, and as a child could be seen constantly using her FLIP video camera, or one of several hand-held voice-recorders to record every day life, or her daily performances of stories/scripts she had made up or written. It is this love of imagination that led her to acting and filmmaking as an adult. "Oh, Tal! - Not Today," is Tal's first book. She lives in Los Angeles with her cat Winifred, where they can both live their best lives and be their true selves.

Owen

Read With Kindle Unlimited

After ten years of silence, Owen Wolfe returns to Wolfe Mountain to lay his father to rest and face the five brothers he left behind after a bitter family rift. The plan is simple—settle the estate and walk away again.

But Jeremiah Wolfe had other ideas.

At the reading of the will, the brothers learn their father left the rundown Wolfe Mountain resort, along with its abandoned cabins, failing ski lodge, and the legendary wolf-shaped peak, to all his sons… including one they’ve never met. There’s only one condition: every brother must remain on the mountain for one full year or lose everything. The mountain will go to Leslie Wilkins, Owen’s former fiancée.

If they stay, a five-million-dollar purchase offer is waiting at the end of that year.

As suspicion grows and secrets begin to surface, the Wolfe brothers must put aside a decade of anger to uncover the truth about their father’s death… and decide whether Wolfe Mountain is worth saving.

But for Owen, the greatest battle isn’t on the mountain. It’s proving to Leslie that the man who once walked away is not the same man who returned.

Because losing his family again isn’t an option.

Release: Dosa Day by Veena Katikineni, illustrator Karina Nechval

 

Dosa Day

by Veena Katikineni

Children’s Picture Book

Date Published: June 2, 2026

It’s Dosa Day!

Join a curious child and their loving Ammamma on a joyful kitchen adventure filled with crispy dosas, colorful chutneys, and heartwarming family traditions. As they learn about different kinds of dosas, they discover that the real magic isn’t just in cooking—it’s in the time spent together.

Dosa Day is a playful children’s picture book celebrating Indian cuisine, family traditions, and intergenerational love. With rhythmic read-aloud text and vibrant illustrations, this story creates a rich sensory experience that introduces young readers to culture, connection, and mindful togetherness.

Perfect for children ages 3–7, this diverse picture book is ideal for:

• Multicultural children’s books
• Indian and South Asian culture stories for kids
• Picture books about food, family, and traditions
• Engaging read-aloud bedtime stories

Whether you’re introducing Indian cuisine like dosa for the first time or building a more inclusive children’s library, Dosa Day is a meaningful addition to any child’s bookshelf.

 

About the Author

 

 In the quiet magic of the Mojave Desert, where the sky stretches wide and the sunsets set everything golden, Veena Katikineni found the perfect place to let her imagination wander.

Dosa Day was born from a heart full of cherished memories: big, bustling family gatherings with her beloved Indian family, where the house was always full, the food was always flowing, and the smell of something delicious was always drifting through the air. Food wasn’t just food — it was love, laughter, and the heartbeat of every gathering.

A physician by training, Veena has spent her career caring for others, but she has always believed that stories heal in their own special way. This is her love letter to dosa, to her roots, and to the joy of sharing both with the world.

When she’s not writing or seeing patients, you’ll find her on her yoga mat, planning the family’s next adventure, or exploring the world with her loving husband and two spirited boys, her favorite companions in wandering and in life.

She believes magic lives in the everyday moments, especially the ones shared around a table.

Blurb:

Some men are born drifters. Others are just waiting to find their way home.

Loss is tough.

Some learn to live with the grief and move on. 

I couldn’t.

There were too many memories.

It hurt too damn much, so I packed up and left.

I spent years trying to outrun my ghosts

And then, a threat drew me back in. 

It wasn’t my fight. 

Hell, it wasn’t even my chapter.

I was only in Little Rock to deliver a warning. 

I never intended to stay. 

And I certainly never intended to meet her.

She was beautiful and soft in all the ways that can undo a man.

And she unraveled me without even trying.

I had no business getting tied up with her, but I couldn’t stay away. 

She reminded me what it was like to have something worth living for. 

Now, I had to make a choice. 

Stay lost or find my way home. 

Drifter is an emotional, slow-burn romance about grief, healing, the real meaning of family, and learning that loving again doesn’t have to mean letting go. HEA and no cheating.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars -

Wow! This story touched my heart. I felt so much for both Drifter and Raelyn with their pasts. I loved the way Raelyn kept her life going. She was a wonderful mother, daughter, and friend. Her sons, Thomas and Lucas, added very much to the story. As Drifter came to terms with his past and his future, I had tears. I enjoyed how this author had me caring for all the characters. I look forward to the next one.
