In a realm far from the world of sapiens, the Age of the Lavishing unveils the path each girl is destined to walk. Yet for Butterkup, the hushed whispers and the elders’ knowing eyes reveal a fate far beyond what tradition can name.
Her relic hides truths shrouded in silence. Her ceremony follows no familiar pattern. And what awaits her will rewrite everything she believes. Her becoming begins now— igniting the first glimmer of a destiny written long before her birth.

The legends have become real.
The Volari—dragons who mirror the spirit of their bonded partners—have returned, reshaping destiny itself. As the elders fall silent and old prophecies stir, Butterkup feels a calling that reaches beyond her island. Her Volari, reflecting her purity and rising power, becomes both guide and mirror, revealing truths long kept hidden.
To find her place in this new age, she must journey into realms where myth lives and destiny awakens. With each step, her bond with the Volari deepens—changing her world in ways no one can foresee.
As the Volari rise again, Butterkup’s awakening begins.
Note: Comes with a Plush Dragon!!

Butterkup has stepped into her true calling. Her wings have matured, her Volari bond is complete, and the Mark has awakened a power meant not to rule, but to liberate.
As long-hidden truths surface, those who once held control now see her as a threat. With her Volari beside her, she must face forces determined to stop the change she represents.
Her courage is unwavering.
Her heart remains pure.
And her destiny is about to reshape her world.

The Tin Box
by Mitch Taylor
Mitch Taylor’s upcoming short story collection draws from a lifetime of extraordinary experiences — from his early days as a mischievous boy in military school to the intense years of law school and the wild world of courtroom drama, filled with moments too funny and outrageous to be believed (but every word is true). A race car driver, attorney, and storyteller at heart, Mitch brings humor, grit, and humanity to every tale. His stories remind us that life’s best lessons often come from its most unpredictable turns — and sometimes, you just have to laugh your way through them.

This tender and timeless story captures the unbreakable bond between two sisters whose connection began before birth. Side by side, they navigate childhood adventures, shared laughter, and a language only they understood, carving memories
into every stage of life.
Told with warmth and grace, To My Twin Sister is a heartfelt tribute to the kind of love that lives in every memory and every unspoken moment.
A story for anyone who knows that some relationships aren’t just special ... they’re eternal.

In a town where the weather is serious business,
one summer evening took a sudden, unforgettable turn. The skies darkened, sirens screamed, and just like that, normal went flying out the door…literally. What the neighbors saw that day would echo for generations. Told with wit, wonder, and the unshakable truth
of a lived experience.
The Hankie in the Tornado is not just a storm; it’s a small-town legend in the making.

On an ordinary day, a sixteen-year-old boy made an extraordinary choice to protect someone he loved at any cost. What followed was a moment no one could explain, a light no one could forget, and a miracle that changed every life it touched.
The Light in the Sky is a true story of courage, divine intervention, and the quiet
power of faith when all hope seems lost.

It was supposed to be a quick stop at the supermarket. No drama. No distractions. Just in and out. But in a town like this, even the most harmless slip can set the whole place buzzing. And on this particular day, Carmen becomes the center of attention
for reasons she can’t quite explain.
Winks, smiles and greetings come from unexpected faces. Something about her had the town tuned in like two radars lighting up a quiet sky.
Delightfully awkward and undeniably human, Twin Radars is a peek into one woman’s unintentional moment of fame — and the glorious
freedom of laughing anyway.

In a quiet Oklahoma town in 1977, a girl from a distant land discovers an unexpected friendship with a gentle boy—one whose love for her ran deep, though never spoken aloud. On the night they said goodbye, he placed a rose
with a letter in her hand.
The Girl He Couldn’t Have is a poetic and soul-reflective story of first love, quiet restraint, and the kind of moments that leave permanent echoes in the heart.

In the burning Sahara Desert of the 1960's, Jim had just finished setting the dynamite when he noticed the local, whom he hired, hovering over the detonation button- finger ready, nerves shaking, and completely misunderstanding what Jim yelled next. "Don't push that button!"
The man heard something else entirely. What happened after that became one of the most unforgettable and unbelievable experiences of Jim's life.

The sun does not ask permission to rise. It does not apologize for its warmth. It simply shines. Made of Sunshine is a luminous story of moving from shadow into self - from noise into peace, from surviving into fully living. It is the quiet journey of a woman who realizes that freedom is not found in escape, but in returning to the steady light within her. Some awakenings are not loud. They are radiant.
