Book Description
Prince Thony’s adventure to find a princess-bride is derailed when he and his friend, Amanita, get stuck in a small town that is on the verge of being overwhelmed by an Evil Wizard and his army. ********************* BackBlurb: Thony’s adventure is not going at all the way he had anticipated. First off, he’s become a unicorn-maiden and is stuck wearing a dress, of all things. Second of all, he’s stuck in a war-zone where an Evil Wizard is assembling an army. And finally, the fairy prince Puck, who had agreed to see Thony and Amanita safely to her faraway homeland has disappeared. To make matters worse, it appears that the Evil Wizard is coming to the dusty little town he and Amanita are sheltering in. It’s beginning to look like the only option that the two of them have is to deal with the situation themselves. But surely just a couple of kids – even accomplished pranksters like Thony and Amanita – can’t possibly accomplish much against an Evil Wizard and his army… …no, that might take three kids. ********************* Teaser: Neither of them noticed the package of trouble hurtling towards them until Amanita was extracting herself from under a jumble of girl, longbow, and brilliantly colored arrows that seemed to have spilled everywhere. “Ooops,” said the new girl without a great deal of regret. She looked up at them with a certain wide-eyed innocence that Thony couldn’t help but feel was a bit of a put-on.. Her leather jerkin was criss-crossed by a shoulder sheathe for a rather long sword, considering her size, that she was trying to untangle from her longbow and quiver. “Don’t you believe in looking where you’re going?” Amanita demanded irritably. “Usually,” the girl replied. “Sometimes. Um... occasionally?” The greasy-seeming horse-dealer from earlier in the morning was also bearing down on them, his face furious. Amanita’s gaze narrowed as she looked between the new girl and the new arrivals. “What’s the matter here?” she demanded. “That girl just released all me stock,” the greasy guy snarled. “She’s goin’ t’pay for this trouble!” Amanita looked over her shoulder. “Did you really do that?” The girl shuffled her feet and looked down – to hide a self-satisfied smirk, Thony rather thought. “Eh... heh-heh-heh-heh-heh,” she chuckled uncomfortably, but didn’t deny it.

Book Description
In May 2008, Anne Jackson asked a question on her blog, “What is one thing you feel you can’t say in church?” Hundreds responded. Everyone had a story. Permission to Speak Freely is the unique new project and movement of author Anne Jackson, who is finished with keeping brokenness in the dark. Bringing to light the original intent of God’s sanctuary as a place of help and healing, Anne reveals that through confession, both to God and to others, we can live lives that are whole and healed. Told with disarming transparency, Anne shares what led to her own addictions and the ensuing lifestyle that left her wounded and withdrawn, but ultimately rescued and redeemed. She includes dramatic stories of others who also learned to abandon their fear, pride, and masks; to identify their hurts; and to find the courage to speak freely. Their confessions, submitted as mixed media pieces, photography, and sketches, were collected from people across the world, and are included throughout the book. Readers will share in the opportunity to find their own path to redemption and freedom.

Book Description
Runaway Prince Thony and his friends face an army of zombies created and controlled by an Evil Wizard and a vengeful Dark-elf who threaten the sanctity of the Fairy Wood. They must use pranks to save not only their world, but all the worlds in the universe. ********** Back Blurb: Thony’s Quest just gets more and more messed up. Forget about finding a princess and going home to save Aldyrwald. Now he and Amanita (who’s turned out to also be a runaway princess) are stuck trying to save all the worlds that are connected by the Fairy Wood from an army of zombies controlled by an Evil Wizard and a vengeful Dark-elf. For allies they have the undersized mercenary Dae Goldeneyes, the unicorn Twinklestar, a pack of street-kids, and a handful of grown-ups who think they know what they’re doing (but who all got themselves captured right off). And their only real resource is… their own skill at playing pranks… This epic fantasy explores the mysterious connections between Magick and Economics, Empire and Ethics, Friendship and Family… and of course, PRANKS! Want to start at the beginning? Book One of the Prankster Prince: Thony and the Much-Anticipated Adventure is available in print and eBook at all fine online retailers! ******** Teaser: “EEEEeeeek!” Amanita hid quickly to avoid being seen by someone running by – then peeked out as a sergeant and captain in Raven-soldier colors came out of a door down the hall. “You realize you’ve roused the entire garrison, Captain Fayorn,” the sergeant growled. “I can’t imagine His Sorcerousness is going to be particularly forgiving that you disturbed their rest because of a mouse.” “A rat,” Captain Fayorn corrected with a shudder as they stopped in front of another door. “Or so I thought at first. It wasn’t real. Someone was trying to rattle me.” The sergeant grunted. “I don’t suppose you were able to apprehend the culprit?” Fayorn flushed. “I most certainly did.” The sergeant entered the room and emerged moments later with a ‘rat’ in each of his massive paws. Thony and Dae, held in place by the scruffs of their collars. Thony looked chagrined; Dae, indignant. “Children?” Sergeant Sterevor said in amusement. “Go back to bed, sir. I’ll take care of this little rodent problem.” Captain Fayorn glared back at him, then stalked past and went back in his room, slamming the door behind him. The sergeant chuckled, letting go of his captives, but turning them so they both had to face him. “So, you’re the scoundrels who disturbed Captain Fayorn’s beauty sleep.” “Yup!” Dae said proudly. Thony groaned. “Hunh.” Sergeant Sterevor shooed the pair of them back down the corridor. They passed within inches of the darkened doorway where Amanita stood frozen.
