Ever since the creation of Evermore, its animal residents believed that they would be forever separated from the world of man. It was not until centuries later that the two worlds would collide. Without warning, Cheshire Cougar, the Marquis of Cougars, finds himself face to face with two human teens who have found themselves transported to Evermore. Now Cheshire and his animal neighbors find themselves standing between the humans and a demonic foe that will stop at nothing to gain the humans' souls. It will take more than strength and claws to stand up to a demon and his soul-rotted army. Victory can only come through faith and perseverance.

Patrick Sheridan is experiencing technical difficulties... Patrick's thrilled to become a student reporter on a teen news show. But when he leaves his small Texas town for the bright lights of Los Angeles, everything changes. It doesn't take long before Patrick is mingling with the rich and famous and doing all kinds of things he never thought he would -- like cheating on his girlfriend, lying to his parents, and losing his best friend. And by the time he learns that it was his handsome face and not his writing that landed him his new job, he's left to pick up the pieces alone. Hollywood is already full of beautiful people with no talent; how can he prove that he's more? He'll have to start by convincing himself.

Collin's Trip to Upside Down Town was written as a work of pure fantasy, but the small boy in the story is very real. At the tender age of three, Collin was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, a particularly aggressive form of childhood cancer. Suddenly, his whole world and that of his family was, in the most profound sense, turned upside down. The purpose of this book was simply to make Collin smile. The idea that this story might bring joy to other children around the country seemed a logical step. We encourage you to take the time to share Collin's adventure with a small person you know who deserves to escape for a little while into a land where dreams come true and anything is possible. While our book was written for a child with cancer, this humorous story is appropriate for all young children.
