You Don’t Scare Me Dad is an illustrated children’s book set against a Halloween theme, wherein the precocious Princess frustrates all of her fathers attempts to scare her. From ghost to devil to wolfman to vampire his costumes have no affect. Their playful banter ultimately reveals a loving relationship. Yet the story ends with an unexpected twist which will surprise children and amuse adults. Beneath the surface it teaches that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, that love casts out fear, and that we need not hide from family behind masks. Above all it is a fun story.

The Mirror Mirror Series is dedicated to the search for self. It's organic philosophies embody a metaphysical "self-help" prescription which engenders self-awareness, sentient enlightenment, and experiential bliss. It seeks to heal the fractured identity of the human psyche and the illusions born of perceptual isolation, warped socialization, and cognitive denial. This holistic approach kindles the serenity of self-knowledge, self-empowerment, self-determination, and self-love. Moreover, it rectifies and cements the bonds of integral social cohesion, reverence for individuality, endearment towards diversity, and cultivating empathy, ethics, altruism, and a transcendent sense of universal unity.

The Page Door Books series is crafted to facilitate parents reading to their children. Each story is designed to amuse adults and delight children. Hence, the verbiage is not overly simplified. When parents read to their children something intangible passes between them which cannot be transmitted through modern media. It cannot be downloaded off the web, substituted with surrogates, or disseminated in a pill. Communicating with children is essential. Simple storytelling time provides an effective conduit which can reach deep into the heart. Herein we pass our humanity from one generation to the next. This process is both socially integrating and spiritually grounding. It is love, passion, purpose, and perspective. It is the pollination of thoughts, impressions, and feelings. “Just place your children on your knee and read them books galore. For every page you turn for them will open up a door.”--Joseph Ahlman/Author
