Congratulations to Mike Delka and his proud wife, Mary, of Red Cloud! The book storks dropped by with three cartons of Mike's debut novel, "Heroes Can Cry!" --- a labor of love for over eight years. Fiction readers will enjoy reading this witty adventure of two dedicated public servants.

"Mike" is an innovative and resourceful animal lover with several unique pets. "Chris" — Mike calls her “Barbie” — is a frustrated female warrior trying to prove herself to the world. Together they’re cops with an antagonistic relationship who banter their way through the trials of society. The story will empower women, amuse men, entertain sports enthusiasts, and stimulate dreamers. Animal lovers will relate to it. The story blends happiness, triumph, love, and sorrow… sprinkled with a few life lessons. The reader should not be afraid to laugh,cry, or, be touched in the mind and heart.

Mike has copies to sign. Or you can soon order from Amazon, and anywhere you order books!

"BASED ON A TRUE STORY!!"
Brava to Melisa Raastad and her new children's book, "Outlaw, Grandma, & Me -- Make Three!" Released just last week, Raastad shares the story of bringing home a new Great Dane puppy. Grandson RJ isn't quite sure how this behemoth of black and white energy is going to work out. You see, Outlaw is getting a lot of grandma's attention now.
An ideal read for any family anticipating a new pet, new baby, or any life change that a child will likely see as HUGE!
A delightful story that will teach children about empathy and the fact that grandma has enough love to share. Contact Melisa Raastad at https://www.facebook.com/melisaraastad.

From an inkling of an idea, the Paula Bunyan Children's Books has sprouted! If you know anyone with kids---like, everyone!!!---please have them like and follow this page! WHY?
AI isn't going to fix your leaking faucet. It can't repair your HVAC system. Paula Bunyan is going to teach tots and kids about trade professions so that they can help keep America's trade workforce strong and growing.
People choosing trade professions will have less---if any---educational debt. They'll get a leg up in the job market and keep America running smoothly, from your home electrical system to the highways and skyways upon which we travel.
Redbrush is proud to be helping Paula Bunyan bring her book series to kids everywhere!!

The Books: Turning Curiosity Into Inspiration.
Each trade in the Paula Bunyan Children’s Book Series will be explored through three distinct books — designed to engage young readers from different angles and learning styles.

1. Vocabulary Adventures
Rhyming A-to-Z books introduce children to the unique language of each trade.
Kids can pronounce “t-rex" and "tyrannosaurus rex,” so why not “amp” and “ampere”?
Early exposure to trade-related words builds familiarity, curiosity, and confidence.
Everyday Heroes

2. Role-model stories celebrate the real-world impact of skilled professionals.
Children grow up reading about firefighters — so why not electricians, welders, or plumbers as heroes of their own trades?

3. Trade Match Rhymes
Playful, rhyming stories connect children’s natural interests with potential future careers.
These books help kids imagine themselves in the trades that fit them best.

Thank you to Paul Hammel for the amazing article about John Maisch’s book, “WHITECLAY: An American Tragedy,” that John’s widow, Julia, championed and carried over the finish line to publication.

Redbrush could not be more proud to have helped realize Julia‘s vision to see John’s personal and detailed account of the story brought to light.

Those who would like to read a true David versus Goliath story will appreciate reading how John Maisch, an attorney and professor of law, used his legal superpowers for good and brought about significant change. May his example inspire generations of lawyers to come on how to champion the causes and communities that are not always equipped to fight for themselves.

The documentary about John’s mission, “Sober Indian, Dangerous Indian,” is also an important resource for any young people considering a career in law, while being an excellent refresher course for any attorney who needs a hero in their field to admire and emulate.

An e-book and audiobook will soon follow. An extremely limited hardcover, heirloom edition will soon be available directly from Julia Maisch.

Thanks also to the Nebraska Examiner and those news organizations who continue to share the stories that matter most.

LINCOLN – Beginning in 2013, Oklahoma attorney and college instructor John Maisch made dozens of 700-mile trips over four years to visit the alcohol-soaked village of Whiteclay, Nebraska. Maisch, who grew up in Grand Island, had earned a reputation as a tough prosecutor of liquor violations in Okl...
