The pleasant, ordinary lives of citizens in a tiny Medieval kingdom are interrupted when an angry witch “vanishes” their young, beloved royal twins. The Royal Sorcerer informs the king that there is nothing to be done until an immediate threat has been dealt with: someone is going to have to find and kill a dragon.William of Linke, training for knighthood by serving as the Whipping Boy, is immediately promoted to King’s Champion. Enchanted armor, shield and sword are William’s only chance of victory. The sword, broken in half during an ancient battle, now has a double-pointed blade and the armor is too big. The enchantment is completely confusing.By the time Sarai, daughter of the Royal Huntsman, gets lost in the royal forest and meets a young Dragon who wants to be friends, William has grown into the armor and, with the help of Sarai’s brother, sets out to rescue her and slay the Dragon. This new American fable confronts the mysteries of dragons, vampire bats, sea serpents, time travel and the North Pole with wry, heartwarming humor.

After an eventful freshman year and a disastrous summer, fifteen-year-old Will Carter returns to Merrian High none the wiser. The year starts off pretty normally. He's back on the football field (the bench area of the field). He and his boys start a fight club to defend themselves against Scary Terry Moss, who is out of juvie and hunting Carter. And he goes to homecoming again with Amber Lee. The good news: she's really into him this year. The bad news: she's all kinds of pregnant (not with his kid, but that probably goes without saying).When his on-again/off-again girlfriend, Abby, is accepted to the New York Drama School, Carter's world is thrown upside-down. She wants him to apply to the school, too. He knows it would be awesome, and he's pretty sure Abby would let him see her naked in New York. But what about his boys? And with his sister headed to college, can his parents survive without him? Plus, the application is really long.It will take a lot of soul-searching (and in-school suspensions) for Carter to make his decision. In the meantime, there are plenty of classes to be late to, parties to avoid, and cops to run from.The laughs and good times continue in Carter's Unfocused, One-Track Mind, the third book in the Carter series.

Leslie always picked on someone every day. She would make sure no teachers were watching and would always pick on one of her very own classmates! Today, it seemed I was the one that she chose to pick on. She walked right over to me and threw sand on my brand, new shoes. I stood up and asked, “Why did you throw sand on my new shoes?”Leslie said, “Because they are ugly.” Some of the other kids laughed and pointed at me. I didn’t know why I was being laughed at because my parents worked hard to buy those shoes for me, and now, I have to go home with dirty, new shoes. I was not only scared of Leslie, the bully, but now I was scared to go home and tell my parents what happened.

Losing a pet or loved one is traumatic and overwhelming. During a loss, children need a safe place to express how they feel and process emotions. Growing Wings offers the experience of a child’s journey in the excitement of making a new friend, and the pain when this loved one leaves for any reason. Kim Crawford helps to normalize emotions and offer meaning to relationships as she concludes, “Now I know that life is full of change and new beginnings. Just because someone leaves does not mean there is an ending. People and pets leave love forever in our hearts, whether they are near or we are apart. Life is full of people, places, and new things. Life is all about growing our very own wings.” The little girl in Growing Wings is illustrated in the likeness of Kim’s granddaughter, Lily Mae, who is growing beautiful wings. Kim Crawford is native to Birmingham, AL. She is a Board Certified Chaplain, instructor of Laughter Yoga, creative writer, and inspirational speaker.

A FULL LENGTH NOVELEvil lurks on the shores of Lake Avonelle. A cunning shape-shifter has stolen the Lady of the Lake's most precious possession and will use it to subjugate the world if the Lady cannot recover it. The hunt to procure the heart of the first female in the line of Gwenevere drags the future queen of Collingswood, Farrin the Fair, into the fray and patience has never been one of her strong suits. Although Farrin possesses the fabled sword, Excalibur, she senses she will need more than a sword to ward off the powerful magic wielded by her enemies. When Merlin appears as an unexpected ally, he generously offers to teach her a few tricks of the trade. If Farrin can survive Merlin's perilous training, the future of all England will rest upon her ability to outwit the bloodthirsty Morgana le Fay.
