Fulton Books authors Laurie Ravin and Alexis Kantor, lifelong learners with a passion for the environment and telling stories, have completed their most recent book "Veridesian Tales: The Hidden Woodlands": a whimsical and potent story about the dangers of deforestation through the eyes of a girl with a unique gift to communicate with nature.
"In Veridesia," writes authors Ravin and Kantor, "the creatures are aware that Earth humans are the dominant creature, enjoying and using the gifts of their planet and all its life-forms while taking little to no responsibility for its welfare."
Published by Fulton Books, Ravin and Kantor's book takes readers on a journey through Veridesia, a magical woodland in California. To an ordinary human, Veridesia looks like any other forest. Only special humans, called Veridesians, can see the true wonder it contains. The highest of the Veridesians are called to be Guardians of their extraordinary land, protecting it from outside humans and preserving its magic.
One such Veridesian, named Katt, inherited Guardianship at a very young age. For centuries, the creatures of Veridesia have depended on her Clan for protection from the "regular" world. Her abilities are still developing, but a dark change is looming. With the help of her animal friends, can Katt maintain peace and harmony in Veridesia despite sudden intrusions from the violent outside world?
Laurie Ravin wrote "Veridesian Tales" with her granddaughter, Alexis Kantor. The duo say they have always shared a deep love of making up stories together, and now they bring that passion to readers. Ravin and Kantor have already begun writing the second installment in the "Veridesian Tales" series and hope that "the beauty of Veridesia will inspire readers to become positive, active influencers in taking responsibility for the current and future health of our planet by gaining more information, asking difficult questions, seeking employment in impactful fields, and being good to our planet in their daily practices."
Readers who wish to experience this gripping work can purchase "Veridesian Tales: The Hidden Woodlands" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Fulton Books author Linda Vagnetti, a retired Title 1 teacher of 28 years in a school district in Michigan, has completed her most recent book "Ralphy the Sequel and Now There Are Four: New Ralphy Sequel": an engaging story that follows Ralphy and his friends as they visit Lebean's great-aunt Etta on her houseboat. The group plans a great pumpkin-carving event together.
Author Linda Vagnetti is married and has three children and four grandchildren. The children she taught in school gave her the idea of putting many stories in one book so that they didn't have to carry around smaller books. This encouraged reading in her students.
Linda begins her story, writing, "I am Ralphy. It was the beginning of summer vacation from school. We were all told that next year, we would be the first sixth, seventh, and eighth middle-school tryout class. We didn't talk about it much just yet. Other things were on the minds of Jabber, Lebean, and me—alias the Awesome Trio."
She continues, "A family meeting had been called. This was not unusual except that all three of our families were involved. We had gone on several vacations together in the past few years. They had not gone that well at first—well, at least for one. Anyway, the meeting was at my house as my mom had brought up the subject."
Published by Fulton Books, Linda Vagnetti's book is an entertaining and imaginative children's story filled with fun and surprises.
Readers who wish to experience this creative work can purchase "Ralphy the Sequel and Now There Are Four: New Ralphy Sequel" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes & Noble.

Singer/songwriter Ed Gumbrecht Delivers Soulful Music for the ’22 Fall Season
WASHINGTON - October 29, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Today, an original song arrives from Ed Gumbrecht, announcing a new season of resonant and expressive music. Make Us Wise became available on all streaming services starting at midnight, 10/29/22. In a year where the standard fare of catchy and campy music feels out of sync with the times, Gumbrecht delivers a refined alternative.
The song is a meditation on loss and the comforts of relationships. It suits a middle sensibility, neither too bright nor too somber. With a bassy melody and spare acoustic production, it has an intimate friendly quality. Its message is poignantly ripe for the season.
Make Us Wise as a single release is a prelude to Gumbrecht's upcoming album, Enter the Muses (out in November) -- a textured panoramic rendering of modern life's cares and surprises. His February 2022 release, Colorshow, revealed the artist as a poetic storyteller. His new album presents a deeper and more evocative collection of songs.
Gumbrecht's growing oeuvre contains a harvest of music that will leave you feeling encouraged and alive in any season. Fans of the songwriter, folk rock, rock and country genres especially should listen, and add Make Us Wise and Enter the Muses to your Fall playlists.

NEW YORK - October 28, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Kara More has completed her new audiobook "My Opinions Just Some Thoughts": a compelling read that reflects upon the author's thoughts surrounding important political and social topics that arise in modern society.
"I'm an opinionated person, and I like to analyze everything that happens. It might be the Irish in me to give opinions on just about everything because I've been this way since I can remember. This is why I've decided to write a book on current social and political issues," writes More. "Since I'm not a person who studies history, my opinions will be my own thoughts and conclusions with maybe a hint of history. Of course, everyone has their own opinions, and I respect the fact that their opinion may or may not agree with mine. But I have learned that I can always learn from reading or listening to others' opinions. That doesn't mean I'll change my opinion, but there are times that I have benefited from others' opinions. This open-minded way of thinking has given me a different way of thinking about a specific subject, but it doesn't change my values or my understanding of right and wrong. My opinion may not always be accurate or make sense to others. Hopefully, people will think about each opinion before they toss them aside. Maybe my opinion will encourage people to ask a friend or themselves what they think and may even create questions for a good debate, or even change a person's opinion. I'm hoping that people who read my opinions will not reject them because of their emotions, but rather, I hope that they think about what I've said and keep an open mind before they decide whether they accept or disagree with that opinion."
Published by Audiobook Network, author Kara More's new audiobook will help to spark conversation amongst listeners and encourage ongoing dialogue. By sharing her opinions, the author hopes listeners will find her thoughts witty and engaging, no matter if one agrees or not.
Listeners can purchase the audiobook edition of "My Opinions Just Some Thoughts" by Kara More through Audible, the Apple iTunes store, or Amazon.
