Free: Home is Where Heart Is: Tiny Houses, Vans, and Living Your Best Life

July 4, 2021 By

We live in a world where your wildest dreams can come true, as long as you’re willing to make some serious decisions. #Vanlife and the Tiny House Movement provide people with an extra helping of wanderlust find their own niche in the crowd… but neither option is a straightforward transition.

Kristine Hudson has tried on both lifestyles for size, and found them amazingly similar and starkly contrasting at the same time. While living in a van or a tiny house on wheels can provide dwellers with the option to create adventures wherever they go, they do require a lot of thought and planning in order to live the life of your dreams.

In her first book, “How to Live the Dream: Things Every Van Lifer Needs to Know,” Ms. Hudson helps readers understand the ins and outs of their first year of van living, based on her own experiences leaving behind her home and hitting the road in an aged Volkswagen Vanagon. Through tips and tricks provided by members of the van community, you’ll learn about all the things you might want to consider before taking the plunge.

When the 2020 pandemic hit the United States, a lot of things changed for Ms. Hudson, and she and her husband Brad ended up parking the van to wade out the changing world in a tiny house. Her experiences inspired “Little Home, Big Dreams: The Tiny Home Lifestyle for Beginners,” in which she shares some of the less obvious things anyone needs to know before taking up residence in a tiny house.

If living in a traditional house or apartment isn’t working for you…
If you feel like there’s a lot of world to be seen while you’re standing still…
… and for all of those who feel like they’re stuck in someone else’s dream…

The time has come to pick up “Home is Where Heart Is: Tiny Houses, Vans, and Living Your Best Life”, and learn more about where your life can lead. There are options out there for us all, and while they may be a bit different than the conventional stationary lifestyle, these are all valid options for those willing to put in the time and effort to make their dreams come true!

Great Quotes For Gardeners

May 4, 2021 By

In “Great Quotes For Gardeners,” you’ll find hundreds of quotations aimed at inspiring those who enjoy and love gardens — and that’s just about everyone.

“Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as paint, and the soil and sky as canvas.” — Elizabeth Murray

The gardener is always learning, often pausing to contemplate life, growth, and change. For everyone who spends time in a garden, as Jane Hawking says, it’s an enduring and rewarding pastime. It’s an art that involves experimenting with and sharing creativity, colors, and produce — a process which sustains givers and receivers alike.

To be a gardener, according to Vita Sackwell-West, is to live in hope. From the dazzling return of perennials in spring to the excitement of looking at glossy seed catalogs and gardening websites in mid-winter, that hope is a year-round exercise.

“To dwell is to garden,” wrote Michael Heidegger. For so many of us, life just wouldn’t be the same without getting a little dirty from time to time. Getting our hands into the good earth and encouraging something to grow and blossom — that adds flavor and fragrance to a home regardless of its size or location.

The quotes in this book come from novelists and poets, philosophers and statespeople, artists and entertainers. Most important, the quotes come from gardeners — all of them providing charming and thoughtful passages and inspiration for generations of growth and growers, and in that sense they’re all gardeners. $2.99 on Kindle.

The Body Blog: Explorations in Science and Culture

April 22, 2021 By

WINNER OF THE FLORIDA AUTHORS AND PUBLISHERS ASSOCIATION SILVER MEDAL PRESIDENT’S AWARD IN ADULT NONFICTION.

“Replete with anecdotes and examples, this book is the perfect read for those curious about the wonders of the human body, and death itself.” – IndieReader Discovery Awards Review

Natural selection has been honing the human form for millions of years. During that time, our brains have enlarged, our mouths have gotten smaller, our guts have been streamlined, and we’ve inhabited every ecological niche on the globe. And although we are a single species, with bodies that are both adaptable and intellectually malleable, how we live impacts our bodies in vast and often astounding ways. It all comes down to culture.

This book explores the numerous ways our bodies are affected by culture. Why do we mutilate our teeth, tattoo our skin, bind our feet, or deform our heads? How do some of our most intriguing cultural inventions – cooking our food, transplanting organs, transfusing blood, or treating infectious disease – impact our survival?

What about some of the darker aspects of culture? Why do we bury our dead? When did cremation first take root? How did embalming evolve? What compels the act of cannibalism, necrophilia, or grave robbing? These questions provide insight into our species, for how we treat the dead speaks volumes about how we view the living.

The Body Blog celebrates the fascinating and complex processes that keep us alive and the impact of culture on our remarkable bodies. $7.00 on Kindle.

Heavenly Flood

April 17, 2021 By

Still considered as literal truth by many people around the world, the tale of the Biblical flood has been one of history’s most fascinating but controversial mysteries.

Now revealed to the public for the first time, S.H. Scholar invites you on a journey to uncover the astrological foundations that led to the development of this famous story and join the privileged ranks of those who are rediscovering this ancient secret. $1.99 on Kindle.
