Julia’s Vaulting Dream
Nine-year-old Julia has a reoccurring dream where she’s standing on the back of a cantering horse with her arms up in the air. When she tells her mother about this dream, she’s pleasantly surprised to learn that her dream isn’t a farfetched fantasy but, rather, is based on something very real that she saw when she was a baby.
Julia’s mother explains that what she saw in her dream is known as equestrian vaulting. It is a competitive sport celebrated all over the world, and Julia had attended such a competition when she was just two years old.
Fascinated with the images that stuck with her for so long, Julia makes up her mind to learn more about the sport and decides that she wants to compete, no matter what. But there are numerous obstacles that stand in her way. With nothing more than a faint memory guiding her way, can this little girl turn her dream into a reality?
A story of desire, resolve, and unyielding commitment to one’s dreams, Julia’s Vaulting Dream is a compelling tome that will not only educate young readers on the elements of an unconventional sport but will also inspire them to follow their own dreams.
The Legend of Altor
Margaret has always loved reading, especially stories about castles and adventures. But her life hasn’t been all fun and games. Ever since third grade, she’s been picked on by bullies, and when her family moved from the Midwest to the coast of New England, things didn’t get any better. New bullies started picking on her, making her feel alone and hurt.
But Margaret’s love for history and her curiosity about old books lead her to something incredible—an ancient, magical talisman hidden in the dusty corners of an old library. This special talisman has the power to protect its bearer from danger. As Margaret starts to learn more, she realizes that there might be a connection between her mysterious new therapist and the magic of the talisman.
Now, with a terrible storm brewing and dangerous people after her, Margaret must use her new powers to protect herself and the ones she loves. She’s not just facing bullies anymore—she’s up against something much bigger. Can she uncover the secrets of the talisman and save the day?
Coming Soon! Seanna – A Mermaid Tale
Coming Soon… “Seanna”
In a world beneath the waves, Seanna is a young mermaid who’s always followed the rules—until she starts having strange dreams. Dreams of a human child calling for help.
Bound by the ancient rule to never venture to the surface, Seanna is torn between duty and the mysterious pull of the human world. When the elders leave to find food for their community, Seanna breaks the rule and surfaces, where she comes face to face with the girl from her dreams. But danger lurks, and a human man is drowning in the stormy sea.
Seanna faces an impossible choice—save the man and risk being seen, or let him perish. Her decision will not only reveal her to the human world, but it will awaken a strength she never knew she had.
Seanna is a tale of bravery, self-discovery, and the unexpected bonds between two worlds—one beneath the ocean’s surface, the other on the land. Will Seanna find the courage to save both the sea and the humans she once feared?
