When grandpa rules are about to be written…

Grampy’s in charge. He might sip a soda in a safari zone… and then forget to throw it away. One curious rhinoceros just can’t resist a taste—and that’s when the wild, fizzy fun begins. Expect giggles, sneezes, and a rhino with a serious case of the burps!

* A playful tale about friendship, curiosity, and saying “oops”—Grampy’s best moments happen when things go wrong 

* Sweet theme of grandparent-grandchild bonding—featuring Grampy, Elliott, Lennon, and a very nosy rhino 

* Beautifully illustrated with colorful artwork that brings Todd Cardin’s silly circus of soda chaos to life

When he’s not writing or directing, Todd enjoys pretending to know what he’s doing, chasing ideas, and occasionally chasing grandchildren.

Today I have a nonfiction book in our book spotlight! Learn about Breaking Deceptions and author Kirk Sassak! 

Non-Fiction, Current Events, Political Commentary, Media Studies

Date Published: May 7, 2025

Publisher: MindStir Media

In Breaking Deceptions, Kirk Sassak, a mechanical engineer turned first-time author, delivers a powerful exposé on the modern media's role in distorting truth and reshaping national narratives. From COVID-19 misinformation and the Hunter Biden laptop cover-up to the media’s radically different treatment of the 2020 BLM riots and the January 6 Capitol riot, this book takes readers on a gripping journey through some of the most controversial events in recent American history. 

With the structured mind of an engineer and the creative soul of a poet, Sassak dissects media narratives with precision and passion—shedding light on the rise of politically motivated journalism and its impact on democracy, freedom, and truth.

🛑 They lied to us about:

● Russian Collusion

● Charlottesville

● COVID Lab Leaks

● Hunter Biden's Laptop

● President Biden’s Mental Fitness

● And much more...

● Are concerned about media bias, fake news, and propaganda

● Want to understand how misinformation influences political outcomes

● Appreciate investigative non-fiction that questions mainstream narratives

Seek a thought-provoking, politically charged read rooted in real events

About the Author

Kirk’s journey as a writer began in 2011 during a professional assignment in Mexico, where he first discovered a surprising talent for poetry. Though his writing took a backseat for nearly a decade, the events of 2020—particularly media coverage surrounding COVID-19 and major political events—reignited his creative drive and moral conviction. Blending the logic of an engineer with the expressive voice of an artist, Kirk now writes with purpose: to challenge mainstream narratives, spark awareness, and advocate for journalistic integrity. 

When he’s not writing or managing complex engineering projects, Kirk enjoys exploring the intersections of art, logic, and truth. Breaking Deceptions is his first published book.

This morning, I have a motorcycle club romance novel in our book teaser spotlight! Learn about Vendetta, the first book in the Cottonmouth MC series by Jamie Targaet! 

Motorcycle Club Romance, Suspense

Date Published: October 10, 2025

Publisher: Changeling Press

Dylan -- I thought I could handle my uncle’s world. I thought if I kept my head down and stayed quiet, I could survive with the help of the mysterious man who’d slipped into my bed like a secret I didn’t want to question. But one night everything shattered. My uncle Eli handed me off to a trafficker like I was nothing, and the man I trusted turned out to be the ghost Eli thought he’d left hanging in the woods -- the man who would kill to keep me safe. 

Vendetta -- I used to be Tank, proud to wear the Cottonmouth patch, until I spoke out against the rot our so-called leaders let poison our MC. They hung me for it. I crawled out of my grave and took a new name. Now I’m back to burn the criminal empire infecting Oak Grove, and the Cottonmouths that invited it in, to the ground. 

Dylan was never supposed to be part of the plan. Hell, she’s the niece of the man who betrayed me. But I’ll die before I let him hurt her again. And when Eli and his men try to finish what they started, they’ll see I’m not the same man they tried to bury.

Warning: Vendetta is intended for readers 18+ due to explicit adult content, violence, and bad language. There’s no cliffhanger, no cheating, and a guaranteed HEA.

About the Author

Jamie Targaet is the author of the Hounds of Hell MC. She's anxious to introduce you to this club of gorgeous, dominant men and the lucky women who surrender to them. The ride is going to get wild at times, not going to lie. But there's thrilling action, scorching hot sex scenes, and all the feels. 

Jamie writes erotic romance for Changeling Press, a little fanfiction on the side, and she's an aspiring horror writer in another life. She enjoys time with her family (including the fur babies). She likes good horror movies and shows, emo metal and classic rock, and time spent in other worlds writing and reading. She loves hearing from readers and is looking forward to hearing from you.

Today, I have a nonfiction book of biographies in our book spotlight! Learn about Raising Genius and author Nam Nguyen! 

Mozart, Einstein, Jobs

Nonfiction, History, Biographies

Date Published: October 6, 2025

* Mozart’s father paraded him across Europe as a child prodigy, driving him to dazzling heights and early ruin.

* Einstein’s mother pushed him relentlessly, molding a stubborn dreamer into the world’s most famous scientist.

* Steve Jobs was adopted by a machinist and a bookkeeper, raised in a California garage where craftsmanship met rebellion—only to falter when fatherhood became his own test.

Written as gripping narrative nonfiction, Raising Genius reads like a novel but stays true to history. You’ll walk candlelit halls in Vienna, sit in Einstein’s parlor in Bern, and stand in the Los Altos garage where Apple was born. Each scene is real, each triumph shadowed by sacrifice.

This is not just another biography. It is a reflection on parenting and genius—how families shape greatness, and what genius costs in return.

Mozart gave his body.

Einstein gave his family.

Jobs gave his daughter.

The world remembers their brilliance. This is the story of the parents who made—and unmade—them.

About the Author

I blend backgrounds in psychology, neuroscience, and business strategy to create books that help parents and readers think differently about raising children, balancing modern life, and understanding the roots of genius. My work spans practical parenting guides like Raising Future Leaders and Perfect Parents Don’t Exist, as well as narrative nonfiction such as Raising Genius: Mozart, Einstein, Jobs — The Price of Brilliance. 

Through my writing and consulting, I aim to make research and history not only accessible, but actionable—so that families can thrive, and readers can see the world in new ways.
