ESCAPE FROM THE MAGIC MAZE, part three of the Magic Maze Trilogy, is about eleven-year old fraternal twins, Tyler and Tess Porter, who accidentally get sucked up into the bizarre world of the Magic Maze. Geared to appeal to children from seven to thirteen and older fantasy fans as well, the story propels the twins into an "Alice in Wonderland/Wizard of Oz" world. In order to return home, they must get through twelve separate parts of the maze. Each is its own world with strange rules, riddles and puzzles that the twins must solve using their wits, knowledge and athletic prowess. Tyler and Tess learn how much they mean to each other as they evade the evil QUEEN ZEBRA and her ZENTAURIAN GUARD of two-faced POLINERDS, and a duplicitous wizard, SIMON PERCIVAL. They form alliances with the rebel TRIDGETS (tiny trolls with Mohawk hairdos) led by the feisty BELKIN, and an assortment of other bizarre and funny characters. At the end, they must track down and put back together three parts of a MAGIC AMULET before they can be finally transported home, safe and sound.

What to Say to Your Crazy Right-Wing Uncle is a fun, informative handbook for progressives to counter conservative talking points and disinformation. Full of funny and clever dialogue and political cartoons, this is a perfect gift for your political allies and the loved ones in your life who you are driving you nuts.Thom Hartmann, the number one progressive radio talk show host in the U.S., writes in the book’s foreword: “In ‘What to Say,’ Sam and Phil provide both a template for talking back to your Crazy Uncle (who’s not really crazy, just misinformed) and a narrative script, both as example and detail.  It’s a small but important step in reclaiming truth and sanity in the midst of an insane and often nakedly untruthful media landscape.”The book addresses such hot topics as Republican scandals, gun control, abortion, the Supreme Court, and income inequality. For instance, in the chapter “Kids in Cages”, myths about immigration are debunked. In “Corruption Eruption,” the Trump swamp are laid bare. In “Going to Pot,” the pros and cons of legalization are examined, as well as many more current topics.
