The phenomenon that is Santa Claus is known in practically every corner of the globe. How I became Santa Claus takes on what Christmas Carols don't tell you, just how this bearded fellow and his wife came to live with a community of Elves and spend every Christmas Eve flying over the globe, delivering presents to all good boys and girls.Part children's story, part adventure and part fantasy, the novel delves with gusto into how Santa became Santa, providing creative answers to what has previously been Santa's mysterious origins.

Ten-year-old Nathan Caulder thinks he might be going crazy. He can't remember his childhood, he hears voices when alone on the Nebraska prairie, and a mysterious woman he encounters on the road tells him that he will soon learn dark family secrets. But there are clues that guide Nathan in his search to unravel these mysteries: a gypsy fortuneteller speaks to him in a trance while gazing into her crystal ball; he has a recurring dream of touching the winter moon; and his eccentric grandfather begins calling him Jake. Ultimately, the secret to Nathan's past lies in a steamer trunk in the attic, where the family retreats during one of Nebraska's worst natural disasters of the twentieth century. Circling Goes the Wind is a book that speaks of magic, forgiveness, and the quiet inner voice that guides us when we strive to learn what is lasting and true in our lives. It is a coming-of-age story in which Nathan not only confronts his past but also encounters a power beyond human understanding that seeks to guide him towards a future destiny enabling him to heal the wounds of others. While the story was written for children and young adults, its theme and lyrical prose style will appeal to children of all ages looking for magic in their lives.

Rimsky Mittendorf receives email from God. Are the messages genuine or the work of a sophisticated computer hacker? In this Young Adult novel, Rimsky is a high school student whose life is split in two because of his parents' divorce. His troubles are compounded when the teacher he despises most falls madly in love with his father, while his mother seeks to have his uncle--the only cool adult he knows--locked up in a psychiatric hospital. Rimsky believes that his stressful life might just be bearable if he could only utter more than a few syllables to his classmate, the beautiful Sarah Petrovich. That's when emails from the Almighty start to appear in Rimsky's inbox. Rimsky Rises is a humorous yet penetrating look at a teen's search for meaning in a world in which sane people appear to be outrageously crazy--and crazy people seem to know the real truths underlying the absurd, confusing, and often comic reality called life.
