A Terror Triptych: Ostara

  Negative Looking Picture of Woods and full Moon


A Terror Triptych: Ostara


Blooms. Blossoms. Blood.

Spring means renewal. Growth. Fresh starts. And what grows this spring is hungry.

In 
Rootbound, Mara returns to the Nordic village that never forgot her. The garden behind her grandmother’s house waits patiently. The villagers ask her to plant; to honor their pact with what lies beneath - when she refuses, the garden chooses her. Some roots run deeper than blood.

In 
Marrowseed, Orchard House offers broken souls a month to reinvent themselves. The garden promises to make them bloom again. It keeps its promise. But beneath the blossoms lies a pulsing heartroot fed by longing, loss — and what the residents never meant to give. Jayson thinks he can kill it. The garden thinks he’ll bloom beautifully.

This Spring, the Worm Moon rises in 
Osedax. The ground writhes. The oceans answer. And hunger, ancient and indiscriminate, devours everything in its path. Out of a group of friends, who will crawl toward morning?

The first thing Spring devours? Is you.

Ostara is the 3rd book in the Terror Triptych series. As independent collections, they do not need to be read in order.

Tech Equity: Freedom Through Enabling Technology: A Dream Officer's Playbook for Tech Equity in Disability and Aging Services

Tech Equity: Freedom Through Enabling Technology:

A Dream Officer's Playbook for Tech Equity in Disability and Aging Services

by Precious "Preciosa" Myers-Brown

What does freedom actually look like for someone who has been told what they cannot do their whole life?

That question lives at the heart of Tech Equity: Freedom Through Enabling Technology by Precious "Preciosa" Myers-Brown. It is a book about what becomes possible when a whole community -- providers, families, Direct Support Professionals, policymakers, and the people being served -- decides that the way things have always been done is not good enough anymore.

The care system we are working inside was built in the 80s, way before we had the tools we have today. Imagine finding a pager from that era and thinking it still works -- then spending years looking for the payphone you need to go with it. We honor what was built with what we had. And now it is time for all of us to move forward together.

This is not a book about technology replacing people. It is about technology giving people back their time, their dignity, and their choices -- and giving the communities around them the tools to actually support that. DSPs who are burned out. Families who are exhausted. People with disabilities who deserve more than a system running on assumptions from 40 years ago. The blueprint is here. The community that changes this already exists. This book is for all of you.

 Single Chess Pawn on a Dark green backdrop


99 PROBLEMS, BUT FEAR AIN'T 1 OF THEM.:

A Modern Day Self-Help Saga for everyday Courage

From a tin-roof home in Decatur to the inner battlefield of belief, 99 Problems, But Fear Ain’t 1 of Them is a true-life self-help saga about choosing courage over fear. Quinton Girtman blends raw story with practical tools—self-awareness as the mirror, critical thinking as the flashlight—to help you see your patterns, update your choices, and steer your life on purpose. You’ll walk through hard-earned lessons on identity, resilience, and clear thinking; you’ll leave with simple practices you can use today—breath-and-journal drills, trigger mapping, values sprints, and decision frameworks that hold under pressure. This isn’t theory from a podium—it’s a field guide written from the middle of the storm and the climb out. If you’re ready to trade crowd-pleasing for clarity and choose courage over fear, this book hands you the keys to your own driver’s seat.

Cipher: A Proven Framework to Hire the Best People

Small Statues of people around a yellow target with an arrow in the bullseye



Nearly half of new hires fail within 18 months. That’s not a “people problem”—it’s a process problem. Most hiring still runs on gut feel, vague job descriptions, and unstructured interviews—an approach with odds worse than a coin toss. The cost shows up fast: wasted time, lost money, and a team that can’t deliver. For 15 years, Craig della Penna has helped leaders hire with clarity and rigor using his proprietary HireBest® system resulting in better hiring decisions, reduced attrition, and less time wasted in extraneous interviews. The key component of that system is the Cipher®, a simple, powerful framework that defines what success must look like before you meet a single candidate. It distills any role into four essentials: Charge, Outcome, Deliverables, and Efforts so everyone evaluates talent against the same standard. In this practical, step-by-step guide, you’ll learn how to build and use Ciphers to help: • Replace hiring based on gut feel with a structured, repeatable hiring system • Reduce bias by anchoring interviews to what truly predicts performance • Compare candidates consistently based on data-rich perspectives • Hire better, onboard faster, and coach performance using one framework If you hire or your business depends on hiring, stop gambling with your most important asset. Learn the clear, teachable framework that improves decision quality and hiring outcomes. It’s time to HireBest.

The Fall of Two Houses

  Castle in front a firey sun


The Fall of Two Houses


Disclaimer: reading may require spiritual cleansing and other purification rituals. What would you sacrifice to keep your kingdom alive? In the Land of Dreams, light means life, tradition is law, and power is bought with blood. As Lord Crushma faces his own slow death, he races to secure his legacy before enemies close in and darkness swallows the Westlands. His solution is a political marriage, but his only heir is unfit to rule, his allies are corrupt, and every choice threatens to damn the realm he's trying to save. His most dangerous option is an ambitious Count, brilliant at starting conflicts and catastrophic at ending them. To refuse her may doom the Westlands. To accept her may ensure its destruction. The alternative is a young girl not nearly old enough to be courted, and Crushma must choose between the lesser of two evils.
