The Turquoise Twins
Koolidoscope Kids · Book One
by Hiram Taylor & Lorre Brewer
Planet Earth is about to experience the magic of the Koolidoscope Kids. Our story starts the day after tomorrow in a world much like ours — until a young woman in Louisiana gives birth to turquoise twins whose shocking appearance becomes worldwide news. The dumbfounded father and protective mother are forced to take their family on the run in a frenzied madcap adventure, besieged by a mob of bozos, stalked by a child beauty pageant queen with vicious voodoo tendencies, and pursued by a demented Government Scientist and his zany crew of shape-shifting monsters. It's a wild ride — but only the beginning, as other babies start being born in colorful skin tones across the globe.

He Watched
Verses from the twilight
by Mekenze Walden · Illustrated by Stephanie Sloan
In the shadowed realm where life and death intertwine, a crow perches upon the precipice of existence. Its wings bear the weight of countless souls — both animal and human — whose final breaths echo through the void. He Watched chronicles the crow's solemn duty: to witness the unraveling of mortal threads. From the gnarled roots of ancient forests to the blood-soaked cobblestones of forgotten alleys, it observes without judgment. The grotesque and the sublime converge in a macabre ballet. Each demise becomes etched into the crow's unyielding gaze. But as the seasons turn and the moon waxes, a twist of fate awaits. The crow, once a silent observer, becomes ensnared in a web of treachery. Captured by unseen hands, it faces its own mortality — a revelation that transcends mere poetry. The boundaries blur, and the crow's wings ache for flight beyond the ink-stained pages. He Watched is a haunting tapestry woven from verses and prose, where the boundary between life and death dissolves. Prepare to be startled, unsettled, and transformed as you journey alongside the crow — a witness turned protagonist — in this enigmatic tale. The crow's secrets lie hidden within these verses. Will you dare to decipher them?
