This is the story of a family of unique frogs looking for a better place to live. Their current area of habitat is a mess: the pond where they swim is not only too small for their growing families, but has become rather dirty, as well. The surrounding forest has also become too dangerous for the frog families.

One night, a few of the young frogs overhear their parents and the other older frogs talking about the terrible situation and that they need to relocate. So Lia, the oldest of the kid frogs, decides to come up with a plan. She and Dom the Bomb (that's his nickname) gather their relatives and the plan is put into motion.

Read along as this group of young frogs teach us the values of courage and perseverance, and that families who stick together can accomplish anything!

Long live the Five Frogs on Biscuit Bay!

Fair, Honest Self-Publishing That Really Works

“I started this company because I was tired of getting phone calls after it was already too late. As a publishing consultant, newly-published authors would call me to help fix it after they got ripped off, after the promises of royalties and movie deals and publicity turned out to be lies, after they held their book in their hands and knew the production wasn’t good enough.

“Together, I’d work with these authors to do damage control, and fix what we could. We’d scrimp to salvage what worked and make the best of a product that could be so much more. But in many cases, the damage was already done.

“I knew that if we could just do it right, from the beginning, we could change the industry. So we started a company that’s honest, and fair, and committed to excellence. We started a company that connects real-live industry professionals—creative, trustworthy masters of their crafts—with authors who want to publish the right way from the start.

“The publishing industry is broken. But self-publishing works, when it’s done right. It gives a podium and a megaphone to the small voices. It gives an opportunity to those who deserve it based on the content of their ideas. When we commit to excellence and professionalism, self-published authors have the same market access and the same audience as their broken, conventionally-published counterparts.
