  Acclaimed Debut Book Earns Top Honors from the 2024 Next Generation Indie Book Awards, 2024 Next Generation Short Story Awards, and Prestigious Mom’s Choice Award 
  Inspired by personal experiences with identity theft and wrongful eviction, the author of The Believer within You draws from 29 and a half years in the US Navy to expose hidden corruption within local governments. This award-winning debut novel follows 12-year-old Brenda Sue Bellamy, whose trusty notebook helps her uncover fraudulent real estate practices that threaten her family. 
  Brenda Sue’s investigation reveals how systemic failures in the home-buying process destabilize families—mirroring the author’s own experiences. Her journey offers financial and educational insights for both young readers and adults. Faced with the choice to stay silent or speak out, Brenda Sue’s courage and commitment to justice become central to her story. 
  Recent events, such as the halted illegal foreclosure on Graceland, echo the themes of The Believer within You. These real-world incidents show how real estate fraud endangers families, but with vigilance, much of it can be prevented. 
  Just as Elvis Presley’s granddaughter defended his property rights, Brenda Sue—armed with her notebook—champions the need for vigilance, courage, and self-belief. Based on true stories, The Believer within You highlights the importance of protecting property rights while offering a message of hope and resilience.

  Connor Bradley is dreading the first day of high school. Not just because he is new, or because he misses his best friends, but because he knows the other kids won't understand his barking and tics. Connor has Tourette Syndrome, and every day has been a challenge—from the mimicking to the laughing, the questions, and the stares. It turns out school isn't quite as bad as he expected. Connor forms a fast friendship with a girl who also has Tourette's and is welcomed into her accepting circle of friends. He also meets a special music teacher who encourages him to take up the drums to manage his stress, and maybe get a break from his tics. 
   
   
    
  But Connor's world is turned upside down when his absent father reappears and a bully starts to escalate at school. All these problems—with family, with friends, and even with himself—build and build until Connor feels ready to explode. Will a surprising revelation save him and help him find his beat again? 
   
   
    
  Endearing and authentic, The Beat I Drum offers an empathetic look at a misunderstood syndrome, the therapeutic value of music, and the power of forgiveness.

  Lepidopterology - Butterflies...

  Lepidopterology is the branch of entomology dedicated to the study of butterflies and moths, which together make up the order Lepidoptera. This field examines their anatomy, behavior, life cycles, ecological roles, and evolutionary history. Scientists and enthusiasts alike have contributed to a growing body of knowledge that enhances our understanding of these fascinating insects and their importance in ecosystems. 
  The study of Lepidoptera dates back centuries, with early naturalists documenting species variations and their transformations. One of the earliest references comes from Aristotle, who noted the metamorphosis of caterpillars into winged adults. In the 17th and 18th centuries, scientific classification systems began to take shape, with Carolus Linnaeus organizing butterflies and moths within his broader taxonomy of life. As entomology advanced, researchers uncovered more details about their lifespans, migration patterns, and interactions with other species. 
  Beyond taxonomy, lepidopterology explores the critical role butterflies and moths play in the environment. Many species serve as pollinators, aiding in the reproduction of flowering plants. Their presence in an ecosystem can also indicate environmental health, as they are highly sensitive to habitat changes and climate fluctuations. Conservationists rely on butterfly and moth populations to assess biodiversity and detect ecological imbalances caused by deforestation, pollution, or climate change.
