Now in publication!	Utilizing Native-American themes and a pro-environmental stance, NATURAL FORCES™ (© 2002 Media Uprising) centers around five rowdy animal “kids” pre-destined to protect the planet. Brought together by the spirit of an ancient shaman, the youngsters were given the power to morph into their adult-warrior forms, each endowed with unique mystical powers. The books deal with a diverse range of issues such as teamwork, individuality, abuse of power and, of course, how the team comes to terms with their role as Mother Nature’s guardians. Parents will appreciate the book’s positive effects on kids and be pleased with the environmentally-friendly theme. No matter how mighty mankind becomes, Natural Forces will always remain more powerful, unpredictable, untamed and unbeatable. *Air in Judgement:* Nathan Axxes unleashes a plot to toxify the world's oxygen supply from a secret lair hidden inside the Grand Canyon and puts his evil scientist, Dr. Kaustik, in charge.

Coming in 2011!	This startling collection of scary stories from battlefields across the globe has been hidden from unauthorized eyes deep within the depths of the War Department for untold years. Prepare yourself for ten terrifying tales of terror! The occurences within these pages are not for the timid and cannot be explained other than the fact that they are supernatural creepy stories from what is undoubtedly the most horrific of all places - the combat zone. Targeted at young readers aged 8-12 with their insatiable appetites for scary stories, CREEPY COMBAT STORIES™ (© 2007 Media Uprising) takes a different spin on on the genre by fictionally relaying “documented” unexplained tales of terror from the battlefield. The ten short stories, so designed for the easily distracted and/or intimidated readers of today, cover eerie encounters from war zones of ancient times to the modern conflict in Iraq. Each chapter covers a different bizarre occurrence and is presented in a variety of ways; some are third person, some as though taken directly from a sworn statement. The ghosts, monsters and unexplained phenomena within the book are often malicious, but occassionally misunderstood or heartwarming heroes. Each story gets two forms of artwork; the first is a revealing snapshot of the alleged investigative file and the second is an ink-wash depiction of the specter itself. The insanely popular SCARY STORIES series by Alvin Schwartz has sold over 8 million copies worldwide and the venerable GOOSEBUMPS series by R.L. Stine numbers over 80 titles and put him in the Guinness Book of World Records by selling over 220 million copies. CREEPY COMBAT STORIES finds a unique niche in this category and offers a mesmerizing and tantalizing alternative.
