Book Description
There is another race of people inhabiting our world. They are not identical to us - although we are closely enough related to interbreed. They go largely unseen and unknown - although occasionally there are reports from a select few eyewitnesses of encounters with them; or observations of their advanced craft and technologies; or half-remembered interactions at night in homes across the world by the general public, that are usually scrambled or unclear in the mind's eye. They have been here co-existing with us for millennia; influencing our spirituality, folklore and religious, philosophical and even political systems. They wield a sophisticated set of technological 'toys' that bedazzle and mesmerize us, confuse our senses and our recollective powers, allow them to walk through walls, become invisible at will and float soundlessly through the air.This book is an investigation into the long-term presence of a race of humanoid beings - different and yet disturbingly similar to us; that walk unchecked through our houses and gardens at night, lurk in our woodlandsand remote places... andwho move beneath our oceans and govern our dreams.We move though historical accounts of non-humanoid beings - from the Fairy Faith of Celtic lands, to the earliest accounts of 'aliens' and 'ETs' in the modern era, all the way to the contemporary casesof Charles Hall's Millennial Hospitality and Christopher Bledsoe's Fayetteville Incident- meditating on the similarities and apparent identical natures of these non-human entities throughout history and time.The Children of Orion are here... and with them come the answers to our past, to our present and to our future selves.

Book Description
The acclaimed author of Ms. Bixby’s Last Day and Posted returns with an unforgettable tale of love and laughter, of fathers and sons, of what family truly means, and of the ways in which we sometimes need to lose something in order to find ourselves. Celebrate dads and Father's Day year-round with this warm and witty novel for tweens. Rion Kwirk comes from a rather odd family. His mother named him and his sisters after her favorite constellations, and his father makes funky-flavored jellybeans for a living. One sister acts as if she’s always on stage, and the other is a walking dictionary. But no one in the family is more odd than Rion’s grandfather, Papa Kwirk. He’s the kind of guy who shows up on his motorcycle only on holidays handing out crossbows and stuffed squirrels as presents. Rion has always been fascinated by Papa Kwirk, especially as his son—Rion’s father—is the complete opposite. Where Dad is predictable, nerdy, and reassuringly boring, Papa Kwirk is mysterious, dangerous, and cool. Which is why, when Rion and his family learn of Papa Kwirk’s death and pile into the car to attend his funeral and pay their respects, Rion can’t help but feel that that’s not the end of his story. That there’s so much more to Papa Kwirk to discover. He doesn’t know how right he is.

Book Description
What if the "aliens" are not from other planets? In THE CRYPTOTERRESTRIALS, Mac Tonnies proposes that at least some accounts of alien visitation can be attributed to a humanoid species indigenous to the Earth, a sister race that has adapted to our numerical superiority by developing a surprisingly robust technology. At the same time, this groundbreaking work attempts to reconcile the mythological and contemporary accounts of "little people" into a coherent picture. "For too long, we've called them 'aliens, ' assuming that we represent our planet's best and brightest," writes Tonnies. "Maybe that's exactly what they want us to think."

Book Description
The year is 2100. John Stroff and his team of seven, code named Air Hawk, are on a global mission to the Earth-like planet of Greenleaf, located in the Holarid solar system. Their assignment is to identify, capture and bring back a set of land, air and marine wildlife species to repopulate the Earth with, which at this point in time, has seen most of its fauna become extinct. Greenleaf teems with an abundance of natural life and environmental ecosystems that match Earth's, from around 5,000 years ago. However, not all of the migrant and native human inhabitants living on Greenleaf at Alita Island are happy about this mission, with a secret organisation called the New World Legionnaires looking to make their planet an independent colony from Earth. While Stroff's mission to Greenleaf starts successfully, there is a shocking discovery made soon after, which will smash the very foundations upon which humanity's story of origin has been built and believed, for the last 65 centuries.This is the first installment in The Books Of Revelation series.
