Fourth of July Adventure
Author: Kathleen Whitham


Sometimes the best way to understand history… is to live it, even just for a page or two.

What begins as a classic Fourth of July celebration quickly transforms into a journey through time in Kathleen Whitham’s Fourth of July Adventure—a cheerful, imaginative, and powerfully educational children’s book that turns American history into an unforgettable adventure. 

Young readers follow Olivia, Graham, and Amelia as they unexpectedly stumble upon a mysterious time machine nestled in the woods behind their house. With childlike curiosity and fearless excitement, the trio travels through pivotal moments in U.S. history—witnessing the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, absorbing Lincoln’s stirring words at Gettysburg in 1863, and feeling the heartbeat of the civil rights movement in 1963 as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. declares his dream.

Each stop along the way is more than a lesson—it’s an experience. History comes to life in ways that are colorful, emotional, and incredibly human. And when the children return to the present, they carry with them more than stories—they carry meaning, pride, and questions worth discussing. 

A joyful, educational, and imaginative journey through American history—perfectly wrapped in red, white, and blue. —Hollywood Book Review

Blending historical context with delightful illustrations, playful dialogue, and even a brownie recipe, Whitham’s story offers a perfect balance of celebration and reflection. It’s ideal for read-aloud moments, classroom discussion, or quiet bedtime learning. 

For any parent or teacher seeking to introduce foundational American values to young readers in a meaningful and enjoyable way, Fourth of July Adventure is more than a holiday book—it’s a spark of inspiration. 

Kathleen Whitham’s Fourth of July Adventure earns the Gold Seal—A charming, patriotic story that inspires pride in the past, and hope for the future.

The New PSYCHOLOGY: A Unified Field of Brain, Mind, Behavior, Perception, Culture...: Abbreviated Edition (B&W)

    The New PSYCHOLOGY: A Unified Field of Brain, Mind, Behavior, Perception, Culture...: Abbreviated Edition (B&W)      480 Pages, 8.5X11”, Fully Illustrated These are the bits and pieces that make up a deep understanding of how our mind works. Welcome to the deep woods.     Psychology controls the biology of our brain. At the witch trials in Salem, when the accused were brought into the court, adrenaline and cortisol would have shot into the bloodstream of the spectators. Neurotransmitters would have surged through their brain. Their very brain waves would have shot up from 12 to 40 cycles per second. A P300 brain wave would have screamed “ALERT”. Their heart jumped.  A chill went up their spine. The girls began to shriek “Witch, Witch!”     We know this because the same thing happens in America today among those watching a Hollywood horror movie about witches, zombies, demons, murder and more. In varying degrees thi...

The Revenant's Mark

  The Revenant's Mark A dark historical fantasy novel set during the American Revolution Jacob Hawthorne was hanged as a traitor—forgotten by the cause he fought for, buried in a shallow grave by those he fought against. But death didn’t keep him. The forest brought him back. Now bound to an ancient and wild power, Jacob walks again as a revenant—something more than man, less than myth. Haunted by visions and a mysterious mark burned beneath his ribs, he joins two rebel soldiers on a perilous journey through war-torn colonies and spirit-haunted woods. As the Revolutionary War rages, a secret faction known as the Golden Circle seeks to harness the power of the forest spirits for their own ends—twisting the old magicks into a weapon neither crown nor colony can stop. Jacob must reckon with what he’s become, what he was brought back to do, and whether the soul of a dead man can still choose the right side. Epic in scope and grounded in grit,  The Revenant’s Mark  blends dark...

Peak Season

  Peak Season Author : Emily Harrison One winter. One chance. One desire that can't be denied. Lola Maxwell isn't looking for love, she's barely looking up. Reeling from heartbreak and a life that's never quite made sense, she takes a last-minute job with holiday company Powder White, at Le Grenier, chalet hotel tucked deep in the French Alps. It's meant to be simple: work hard, stay out of trouble, and avoid any man with a crooked smile and a snowboard under his arm. Then Harley Nash walks in. Moody, magnetic, and impossible to read, Harley has made a name for himself on and off the slopes. Once a rising snowboarder with a reckless streak, now he's the ski team lead at Powder White, doing everything he can to keep things under control, including himself. The last thing he needs is a new recruit with fire in her eyes and chaos in her wake. But Lola's not easy to ignore. And Harley's not nearly as in control as he looks. As the season deepens, so d...
