There are plenty of favorite things out there, but what if that "favorite thing" is always ... you? In the morning, you are the wonderful, happy thing. You remind people of sunrises, cuddly animals at the zoo, flowers, and even amusement park rides. As long as you're around, every vacation is the best. You're like a fairy tale; you make things magic! "You're my favorite everything" is a phrase author J. J. Allen has said to her children and grandchildren every day. After years of using endearing quips to find different ways to express her love, she wanted to share her words with parents. She encourages verbalization of emotions to loved ones with sweet phrases and kind expressions. Kind words have a remarkable effect on self-confidence, so it's important to tell the ones we love just how special they are. From exchanging laughs and dreams to going on adventures and telling stories, You're My Favorite Everything will strike a chord for readers, parents, and children alike. By loving each other, we make the world a better place and make each other better members of the human race! "Lines and images from some books are so special they remain fixed in our memories for a long time, years and even decades after the children who were read these stories are grown and have children of their own. J.J. Allen's "You're My Favorite Everything" promises to be one of those special books, written with soft, comforting language that brings the reader and listener joy, and confidence that things are all right. Children who hear this book will probably be reciting it by memory to their own children years in the future." Glenn Adams Freelance writer Retired Associated Press Writer

Some old Greek myths and the computer age collide in twenty-first century America. Just before she turns fourteen, Jane Smith learns what has been kept from her since she was born: she is destined for something different, more ancient, and much stranger than the ordinary American life she has expected. And when she meets the boy who calls himself Adam Night, she guesses there may also be mortal danger

As THE THREADS OF EARTH begins, Jane needs time to learn all she needs to know in her destined role as One of Those Who Hold the Threads. This time will be cut short by new challenges in the form of a vengeful Titan goddess, the god who crosses impossible boundaries, and a threat from the past that could put all Earth at risk—perhaps even more than Earth. Could Adam Night be at the center of this new threat?
