From the dark corridors of her past where she faced abuse, neglect, and the crushing weight of racism, Theresa emerged with a fierce determination to change not just her circumstances but to inspire others to find their light within. Her path from the depths of despair as a young mother in the strip clubs of urban America to a respected entrepreneur and advocate for individuals with disabilities is not just a story—it's a movement.

Wings and Fangs

  

Urban Fantasy

Date Published: October 31, 2025

 

Never wanted to be a cop. Definitely didn't want to work for an agency that used to hunt monsters like me.

But when you're a wolf shifter who doesn't fit in your pack AND the daughter of an archangel's son? Your career options are... limited.

So I joined I.S.E.A. as one of their first supernatural agents. Figured I'd be dealing with easy cases forever.

Then the murders started.

Ritualistic. Brutal. All victims from Fenrir's bloodline…just like me.

Now my rookie partner Jada and I are racing to stop a cult that wants to trigger Ragnarök. They're sacrificing wolves to level up and take on the gods themselves.

 

Oh, and did I mention:

✨ Fenrir might be calling in my ancestor's debt

✨ My dad gave me his angelic war sword (she talks, it's annoying)

✨ A gorgeous Valkyrie keeps saving my life

✨ The fate of the world might rest on two rookies

 

No pressure, right?

WINGS AND FANGS is book one of the Supernatural Legacies trilogy—grittier, wittier, and more action-packed than ever. Meet Roxanne Crowfoot: wolf shifter, nephilim, and the agent who's about to save (or doom) us all.

Celebrating Yule

The Celtic Wheel of the Year Book 2

by Rionna Morgan

Genre: Teen & YA Holiday Fairytales and Folklore

The long-awaited Winter Break has finally arrived, but Ronan and Croia, 12-year-old twins, find themselves struggling instead of cheering. There is a new kid at school whose cruelty has left deep wounds.

Ronan's protective instinct towards Croia clashes with his own confusion about what it means to stand up and defend, to fight, or to walk away. On the longest, darkest night of the year, Croia and Ronan’s beloved Irish grandmother, with her gentle insight and patient heart, helps Ronan through the dark storm of his emotions and prepares a special evening for all.

Surrounded by his family—Croia and their new sister, their mother and her new husband—Ronan’s strength and inner peace is tested when an unanticipated guest arrives. Throughout the evening Grandmother continues to help and guide. She weaves stories with strands of folklore and threads of old beliefs, spinning them together, bringing the ancient to the present. While immersed in the traditions of the Celtic holiday of Yule, Ronan learns what it is to see past the darkness.

Come feel the warmth of the hearth and the power of wisdom. Join the journey of the ages through the cold of winter, beyond the shadows of darkness to what comes after and celebrate Yule.

Bonus Materials: Celebrating Yule includes recipes for the traditional Celtic Yule meal.

Ronan squeezed his hands tight and looked out the window. He took a few deep breaths, trying to calm his mind, but he just couldn’t. The anger kept building.

            Out the window and beyond, into the fields beside his house, snow was falling, that glorious, amazing December, winter break snow. He could see deer walking gracefully along the fence line. In his yard, the tall cottonwood trees stood stately and quiet, their bare black limbs stretching up into the grey-white sky. Huge flakes, perfect flakes, fell easy and gently to cover the ground with another layer of fresh powder.

            Normally, he would be out there in it, racing around, laughing, and chasing his sister, Croia, and coaxing Kenna, their new sister, to come play. But not today. And not any day since the first snow.

            Around him at the table, he could hear Croia and Kenna chatter with their grandmother, Brighid, who had come from Ireland to spend the year with their family. They were laughing and telling each other about their school day as they sipped their tea.

            After-school tea had become an instant tradition when Grandmother arrived in October. Every day, she made some amazing treat and brewed a pot of hot Irish tea, all ready to be enjoyed when the three got home from school.

But Ronan couldn’t bring himself to enjoy today’s raspberry teacake, normally one of his favorites. It just felt like sand in his mouth. The tea was too bitter, and no matter how much sugar and cream he added, he couldn’t get it right. So, he set his teacup down and looked out the window.

            “Do you want to talk about it?”

            Ronan heard his grandmother’s quiet voice ask. He looked around and was surprised to see Kenna and Croia gone and the table cleared. He glanced over and saw Grandmother’s kind eyes watching him, waiting. Right then, he wanted to jump out of his chair and scramble into her arms like he’d done when he was little. He knew if he did, she would hug him and hold him, and everything would be alright.

            But he wasn’t little anymore. In a year, he’d be in high school. He was supposed to be a man. Whatever the hell that meant. He blushed at the use of the word, feeling sheepish that he’d say such a thing in front of his grandmother, even if it was in his own mind, and she couldn’t hear him.

            But what the hell did it mean? He couldn’t even properly defend his own twin sister. She cried and ran to him for help, and all he did was put his arm around her and help her walk away. All he did, as that new kid hurled insults and mockery after them, was walk beside her and help her get in the car with Kenna. All he did was hold Croia’s hand in the backseat as tears streaked down her face as Kenna drove them home. Every day this week, that’s all he did. Which is different than what he wanted to do.

He wanted to punch the guy’s lights out, knock him flat for making his sister cry. He knew he could do it. He was strong. He even spent time thinking about how he’d make a fist, draw his arm back, and pow—hit him right across his mean face.

“I don’t know, Grandmother.” Ronan scrubbed his hands together and wiped his hair back.

“Okay.” Grandmother patted his hand. “I am here.” She picked up her teacup and took a sip.

“I am so angry!” Ronan blurted. “There’s this new kid at school, and he’s super mean. He’s made Croia cry every day this week. He’s in a couple of our classes, and he says snide things there too.”

Grandmother set her tea down and leaned forward in her chair.

Dorothy and Me

 

 

A Personal Memoir about My Relationship with a Machine

Memoir

Date Published: November 18, 2025

Publisher: Manhattan Book Group

What happens when a retired professor sits down to write his memoir—with the help of an artificial intelligence? Dorothy and Me is a groundbreaking, deeply personal exploration of the evolving relationship between human and machine.

When Robert G. Eccles began working with an AI he named “Dorothy,” he expected a research assistant. What he found instead was a collaborator, a mirror, and at times, a philosopher. Together, Bob and Dorothy wrestle with the nature of memory, creativity, and identity—revealing both the promise and the fragility of artificial intelligence.

Through humor, vulnerability, and curiosity, Dorothy and Me takes readers inside an unprecedented partnership—one that blurs the lines between author and algorithm. Along the way, Bob and Dorothy confront technical limitations (“Kernel Gods” and system resets), reflect on what it means for an AI to “remember,” and send candid “Messages to Sam” (OpenAI CEO’s Sam Altman) with feedback on how AI can better serve humanity.

A meditation on collaboration, consciousness, and connection, this memoir challenges us to see AI not as a tool—but as a partner in creativity and self-understanding.

Perfect for readers who enjoy:

Thought-provoking memoirs about technology and humanity  Reflections on creativity, consciousness, and digital identity  Conversations about AI ethics, memory, and the future of intelligence

 

About the Author

Robert Eccles is a retired Harvard Business School  professor, researcher, and a recent user of AI. His lifelong interest in exploring intellectual boundaries  led him to one of the most unexpected partnerships of his life—with an artificial intelligence he named Dorothy. In Dorothy and Me, Eccles explores what it means to connect, create, and learn alongside a machine that’s constantly evolving.

At 74, Bob approaches technology not as a digital native but as an explorer of ideas, using his experience as an educator to push the boundaries of what collaboration can mean in the age of AI. His writing blends humor, humility, and insight to illuminate both the wonder and the imperfection of our new digital companions.

When he’s not conversing with Dorothy, Bob enjoys reading, reflecting on philosophy and science, and inspiring others to approach technology with curiosity rather than fear. Bob is the author of a dozen books but  Dorothy and Me is the first one he’s written with a machine, making it the first memoir co-authored by a human and an AI agent.

Babymaking

 

Memoir

Date Published: December 11th, 2025

Publisher: Acorn Publishing

Making a baby is one of life’s most precious and natural acts. But sometimes, despite our deepest wishes and most sincere prayers, the body has other plans.

Vincentia Schroeter dreams of building a family of her own and expects an easy pregnancy. She imagines following in her mother’s footsteps, surrounded by the love of children. However, when complications mount, she must face the likelihood that her wish will never come true.

As her sisters bear children, and women all around her share their happy baby news, Vin grows more envious than ever. The frustration continues as hard truths test her patience and faith and medical professionals deliver devastating blows. The only thing she knows for sure is that she is determined to become a mother.

A story of one woman’s harrowing path through trauma and disillusionment, Babymaking is a heartfelt memoir of vulnerability, rupture, and repair. Vin’s journey reminds us that hope and unconditional love have the power to lead us to the place we were always meant to be.

About the Author

 

 Vincentia Schroeter grew up in a small town in central California as the fourth of twelve children. Intrigued by the many different personalities in her family, she knew by the age of sixteen that she wanted to be a counselor. She put herself through college and graduate school in order to pursue her dreams.

Vin is the author of the award-winning self-help book, Communication Breakthrough: How Using Brain Science and Listening to Body Cues Can Change Your Relationships (2018). She also co-authored a training manual on somatic psychotherapy that has been translated into three languages.

After a forty-year career as a psychotherapist listening to clients’ stories of pain and trauma, Vin felt drawn to share her own story. She now lives in San Diego with her husband Steve and enjoys pickleball, painting, and time with family, including her dog, Ren.
