Happy Publication Day to REPAIR WITH SELF-CARE: Your Guide to the Mom’s Hierarchy of Needs by ! 🎉

In this transformative guide, Forde presents a framework for prioritizing physical, emotional, and intellectual self-care. Through personal experiences and extensive research, she highlights the challenges uniquely faced by working mothers, especially those from marginalized communities.

“More than a self-help book—it’s a call to stop deprioritizing yourself and start living a more fulfilling life.”

“In this honest, empowering book, Forde helps mothers reclaim their time.”

“The book every burned-out, overextended mom has been waiting for, but didn’t know how to ask for. With equal parts clarity and generosity, Forde dismantles the myth of ‘balance’ and replaces it with a practical, deeply human roadmap for change.”

Happy Publication Day to POWER ON: Managing Screen Time to Benefit the Whole Family by ! 🎉

From “The Gamer Educator”, an openminded guide to parenting alongside screens and gaming, offering practical solutions to managing your family’s screen time.​ 📺🎮📱

“The nuanced, thoughtful, and realistic approach to screen time that all parents need—without the fear-mongering or guilt often tied to technology discussions. POWER ON is a must-read book written by someone who genuinely enjoys video games, sees the value in screens, and understands technology’s role in childhood. Essential reading for parents raising kids in today’s tech-forward world.” , author of Actual Parenting

“Brandin uncovers how performative parenting, perfectionism and media fear-mongering have trained us to demonize “screen time” instead of figuring out how to make screens work for us and our families. Reading this, I felt a decade of guilt and judgment dropping away. I came away so much clearer on how to use screens to connect with kids and how to set the boundaries we need around them.” , NYT-bestselling author of FAT TALK

Happy Publication Day to SHAW CONNOLLY LIVES TO TELL by !

A page-turning, compelling thriller about a woman who will stop at nothing to uncover the truth behind her sister’s disappearance.

“Riveting…French skillfully weaves together an intricate plot involving past and present, bringing both to life while believably developing her cast of characters…a wild journey full of thrilling twists and turns.”

“French writes Shaw’s character with undeniable depth by way of witty and often humorous dialogue throughout absolute tragedy, showing the extent of human endurance…A swift plot and constant pressure on Shaw create an enthralling mystery thriller that highlights the grip grief can have on a person.”

“French lays the foundation so expertly...What lingers most in the memory is a chilling atmosphere equally shivery with cold and despair.”

“Fast-paced and witty...What sets this book apart is its ability to include humor alongside the heaviness that accompanies grief, crimes, and loss in a way that still feels authentic.”

“French is a gifted storyteller who knows how to tease the reader with well-timed twists and disclosures―just as stalker Anders Jensen knows exactly how to keep forensic technician Shaw Connelly off-balance and guessing. And the Maine setting? Perfect in its ice-cold dread.” ―Paul Doiron
