    Paperback (Fat Cat Books, April 19, 2018)
    What if a war was taking place under your nose? Two ancient races locked in a battle for survival. Which side would you take? Allegria appears to all to be nothing more than a simple priestess devoted to worship of the sun goddess. Hallow is a masterless apprentice. Deo was meant to save the world and bring the Fireborn and Starborn together in peace. But then invaders beseiged the land of the Starborn, breaking the prophecy. Now Allegria has fled the priesthood, and wields the power of the sun. Hallow accepts the mantle of leadership he so long avoided. And Deo is tormented and tortured by the power of the invaders, using chaos itself to create an army that will drive the interlopers from the land, and bring about the peace of the Fourth Age. The three unlikely heroes must learn to trust where there is suspicion, to believe where there is only doubt, and to fight when all hope is lost.

    Jonni Good

    Paperback (Wet Cat Books, Nov. 1, 2010)
    Please change the book description to: This coloring book was created by Jonni Good, an author and illustrator who is fanatic about animals. She created this coloring book for kids just like her - kids who love to read and learn new things, who love to draw and paint, and, most importantly, who love animals. The drawings in this book were created to make coloring fun, and young artists (and adults who love to color) will be proud of their finished artwork. While coloring and painting the drawings, they will also learn about the animals, and find out why they're endangered. At the bottom of each page is a section called "Something to Think About," which could start some very interesting conversations at home and school. Students who enjoy reading will learn a lot about these animals, and what we can all do to help save them. Younger kids will enjoy coloring the pictures, but they'll need help understanding the ideas in the text.
