Book Description
One April in Boston is the story of a real American family and a gift that was passed down from generation to generation. It teaches American history, the power of imagination, and the value of goal setting. In this unique book you will learn the real story of Paul Revere’s midnight ride; witness the first shots of the American Revolution; attend the reading of the Declaration of Independence in Boston on July 18, 1776; visit the Paul Revere House in 1909; and much more. After researching his Boston ancestors for six years, author Ben Edwards has crafted a tale that not only tells their story by tying in real connections to Paul Revere and Abraham Lincoln, but honors his relative Private Philip Edwards by revealing the gift he gave to the neighborhood children before leaving for France to fight in World War I and passing into legend. When the story begins in April 1775, 10-year-old Ben Edwards carries a spyglass that once belonged to his grandfather, an early Boston sea captain. Ben believes he can glimpse the future through its lens. His goal is to work on a sailing ship and see the world. Can the spyglass and a member of the Sons of Liberty help Ben on his journey? Will his predictions about the future come true? By reading the book you’ll discover that Ben’s gift is something we all possess, a power that can help you on your own life’s journey—if you believe in it.

Book Description
There once was a king who ruled over a darkened kingdom. Crops were planted and then failed, houses were built and then neglected, people were impoverished and dispirited. But when a traveler arrives at the crumbling palace, he shows the monarch his kingdom through the lens of an enchanted spyglass -- a spyglass that shows him his kingdom not as it is, but as it could be. The king's imagination is ignited by the spark of faith, and with faith comes hope and change. By sharing his vision and inspiring his subjects to work alongside him, the king restores his land to glory. Faith is at the heart of master storyteller Richard Paul Evans's moving new fable, which is brought to life by the rich, magnificent oil paintings of artist Jonathan Linton. Together, author and artist have created a powerful story that will inspire readers young and old to see their world through the eyes of faith.

Lexi Gant, an American working in Taipei, brokers digital bonds for Lotus Pacific Finance, a private bank that specializes in laundering underworld profits. Caught spying for the U.S. Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, she flees in a panic but a deadly encounter derails her escape. On the run in a city burning with anti-American hate, and double-crossed by her handler, she becomes a fugitive with nowhere to hide. Thomas Chadwick, inspector for the U.N.'s International Maritime Authority, investigates a purported act of piracy on a cargo ship off the coast of South America. When he stumbles upon the CIA agent who ended his intelligence career a decade earlier, Chadwick suspects the agency's hand is behind the failed attempt to sink the cargo vessel. Exploring dark corners where his light is not welcome, he forces his way into the center of a covert operation spinning out of control. The Central Intelligence Agency is desperate for a major operational victory. An obscure agency department has arranged one in the form of a risky sting operation. The target: a Taiwanese billionaire crime lord. The prize: weapons of mass destruction. But before it can be gift-wrapped for a White House eager to restore credibility with America's allies, the sting operation rips apart at the seams. Lexi Gant and Thomas Chadwick find themselves fighting for their lives alone, outnumbered, and sacrificed by corrupt American intelligence officials. With a sinister triad closing in and nuclear weapons changing hands before them, Lexi Gant and Thomas Chadwick are the only two people who can expose the truth, if they can escape the reach of their own graves.

Book Description
"With potent, lyrical language and a profound knowledge of storytelling, Shaw encourages and illuminates the mythic in our own lives. He is a modern-day bard." – Madeline Miller, author of Circe and The Song of Achilles At a time when we are all confronted by not one, but many crossroads in our modern lives—identity, technology, trust, politics, and a global pandemic—celebrated mythologist and wilderness guide Martin Shaw delivers Smoke Hole: three metaphors to help us understand our world, one that is assailed by the seductive promises of social media and shadowed by a health crisis that has brought loneliness and isolation to an all-time high. Smoke Hole is a passionate call to arms and an invitation to use these stories to face the complexities of contemporary life, from fake news, parenthood, climate crises, addictive technology and more. Shaw urges us to reclaim our imagination and untangle ourselves from modern menace, letting these tales be our guide. More Praise: "I can still remember the first time I heard Martin Shaw tell a story. The tale that emerged was like a living thing, bounding around, throwing itself at us there listening. I had never heard anything like it before." – Paul Kingsnorth, Booker shortlisted author of The Wake "Martin Shaw’s work is so very beautiful. A new animal. His love of images is deep and contagious." – Coleman Barks, author of The Essential Rumi "Through feral tales and poetic exegesis, Martin Shaw makes you re-see the world, as a place of adventure, and of initiation, as perfect home, and as perfectly other. What a gift." – David Keenan, author of Xstabeth "Shaw has so much wisdom and knowledge about the old stories, it emanates from his pores." – John Densmore, The Doors
