W
hen a caterpillar spots a green leaf waving from the top of a tree,
he doesn’t think twice about the dangers lurking about. Instead, he
comes up with a plan and doggedly inches his way towards the leaf.
A Butterfly Without Wings is the charming story of a hungry, selfconfident, and determined caterpillar that refuses to let obstacles stop
him from reaching for his goal. The caterpillar proves that if you believe
in yourself and set your mind to it, you can accomplish anything. With
snappy dialogue, humor, and perfect pacing, award-winning author David M. F. Powers captures the spirit of determination and self-confidence.
Parents and their children will love reading and re-reading this celebration of self confidence. A Butterfly Without Wings would not exist
without Powers’ children. It began as their bedtime story and quickly became part of their nighttime routine. It has been years since
those nights, but he can still hear their small voices speaking the caterpillar’s lines – “Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me?”
David M. F. Powers lives near the Walt Disney World parks in Central Florida with his wife and children. Having grown up in Rota and Madrid, Spain, Powers is deeply rooted in the traditions of Andalusian culture as
his mother is from Jerez de la Frontera. Homemade Churros are his specialty. Powers speaks fluent castilian
and always looks forward to his next visit to his second home, Spain.

Santa’s rogue assistant is on the loose
searching for the fabled Pole, the one
person who can see Santa because if
you can see him, you can catch him.
With action, adventure and fantastical sci-fi elements that conjure images
of a Spielberg tale, you are invited to
enter the untold world of The Kringle
Chronicles.
igh-tech gadgetry and ancient magic has done little to aid in
the centuries-old search for Santa’s rogue assistant, Servant Rupert. But Servant Rupert has been searching for someone too
--the fabled Pole, the one person who can see Santa. However, the search
hasn’t fared well for Servant Rupert. To make matters worse, his agents
have contacted Santa’s forces, wishing to defect. A risky plan is quickly set
in motion by Santa’s Special Forces to divulge the location of Jakob Jablonski, the Pole, in hopes it will lead to the capture of Santa’s forever-naughty helper. Wasting little time, Servant Rupert recklessly contacts Jakob.
In the ensuing mayhem, live snowmen deliver curse letters, a neighborhood
boy is turned to smoke, and Jakob is drawn into the mystery of Santa and his
dastardly rogue assistant when proclaimed a Pole by the attacking smoke form
of Servant Rupert. He quickly demands that Jakob catch Santa...or he will turn
everyone Jakob cares for into coal! Jakob and his band of friends, partnering
with elf spies and rogue agents of Servant Rupert, begin to uncover hints of a
sinister plot involving more than just catching Santa. Now it is up to Jakob and
his friends to set a trap to lure Rupert out into the open using Santa as the bait.

clues emerge and old leads heat up, Frank and Jake learn

Survivalist is her fourth book.
racken is a typical teenage boy, more interested in the angles of the girl’s exposed
back teasing him from the seat ahead
of him than in anything the geometry teacher
could present. His life is filled with school, video
games, and thoughts of girls, not necessarily in
that order. Life just flows along uneventfully and
unacknowledged, like the electricity that courses
through the power lines —
untiil PF (Power Failure) Day. On PF Day, the sun strikes
Bracken’s world with an unseen surge of electromagnetic
fury, which cripples power stations and burns transformers
to crispy nuggets of regret.
No one in Bracken’s world had ever thought about how
much they depended on electrical power, but now, without
it, they are plunged into survival mode. Without electricity
there is no communication, no modern conveniences, and
soon, no modern means of transportation, as the reserves of
refined gasoline run dry. Worse still is the failure of the water and sewer systems, the impossibility of getting food and
supplies to people living in cities, and the deaths of millions
of people from starvation, disease, and lack of medical care.
Bracken soon realizes how lucky he is to live on a farm
in the Midwest. What seemed like a dull and backwards life
before is now the greatest chance for survival in what seems
like a powerless world. Food, water, and heat are readily
available, although hard work is required to make use of
them. Bracken and his family must learn to survive like their
ancestors, who settled their land. Told in the first person,
Bracken tells the story of how they not only survive, but how
PF Day actually makes their lives better and more satisfying.

not knowing what goes on behind his dark eyes, Livia decides to keep

The Zombie virus continues to threaten humanity. The virus,
in the blood of every living person, guarantees them a zombie
transformation near their 30th birthday. At 29, you are marked for
transition, and for those whose families can afford it; you begin 6
months of zombie survival training – then you are delivered to the
arena to survive the last 6 months of your life. It is viewed as the
most humane way to deal with the zombie “transition problem”.
Every 4 years, to replace the 1 Supreme and 7 Provincial Witnesses (leaders), 3 candidates from each province along with 3
supreme candidates from Central City (all children/teens) are sent
to the Zombie Arena for 7 days. During the 7 days the candidates
will fight for survival against transitionals, zombies, criminals and
possibly each other while completing daily missions. The goal is
to complete the missions, move on, and survive the 7 days. The
top surviving Candidates and Supreme Candidate from each province and Central City will be confirmed as their new Provincial
Witness with the possibility of becoming the Supreme Witness if
all Supreme Candidates die. The Zombie Arena serves to remind
the world population of the zombie threat among them, control
the zombie population, and keep all provinces inline. It is all televised and provinces naturally cheer for their candidate.
The story surrounds Blas Vega, the 17 year old father of three,
from Province 7. In order for humanity to continue, marriage and
child birth occur at an earlier age. Geographically, 7 encompasses present day Europe. Capital city, present day Barcelona. Spain was
one of the first countries to contain the epidemic and isolate itself
from the rest of Europe thanks to the Pyrenees. The majority of
Province 7’s descendants hail from the UK, Portugal, and Spain.
Most of Europe’s population died. Blas has been nominated as one
of 7’s candidates by his Witness elder relative. His family, mostly
scientists and doctors, hails from a long line of Candidates and
Witnesses. Blas is haunted by his secret collection of family journals and their mention of a cure for the zombie virus. Dismissed
by his family for believing in fairy tales, Blas stumbles upon a
reoccurring conspiratorial journal entry from several relatives.
“This evening did not go well. I told elder Leyva about the
cure. He was indignant at the idea of valuing rumors above truth,
calling the whole notion of a cure utter nonsense. I fear, as my
predecessors have written before me, that I have become a liability to the Vega name. I have been nominated first Province 7 Candidate.”
The story arc is the suspected and eventual existence of the
cure and the pursuit to expose and overthrow of the dystopian
government.
