How was... The solar system created?

(Lizzy and Thomas)

It's storytime!

Lizzy and Thomas always have a story before going to bed.

Tonight the question that they have in mind is about how the solar system was created, so Dad created a story explaining how the solar system was born.

Using comparations, examples and a lot of amazing images Dad will take them from the very beginning of the creation up to the present. To the solar system as we know it today.

Featuring crazy planets, a baby sun and even a stork, millions of years will be explained..

Review:

"I was looking for a book that not only tell a story but also teach. My kid absolutely love it. He is really excited about the solar system and really like the two kids learning with their dad. The dad really make them feel special. It's really interesting. I have a feeling that my kid will ask to read this book many times." - EDB

It's a Lonely World: An Indie Author's Journey

  

It's a Lonely World:

An Indie Author's Journey

(Writing Mistakes and How to Avoid Them)

Are you the new guy trying to learn this self-publishing gig? Have you tried to self-publish your book, and then wonder why it failed to gather sales and reviews? Maybe you have a book script, but you don’t know where to start. Do you feel like self-publishing will mark you as an amateur? You and thousands of other Indie-Authors are not alone  

What is an Indie-Author? It is someone, a single individual, who chooses to publish their books without the help or interference of traditional publishing houses. The reasons are numerous for choosing such a path in life, but the core reason is freedom. It is also very hard to get attention from agents or publishing houses; therefore, self-publishing is the only way left to get your book published.

For decades, the stigma of the term "self-published" has meant bad book covers, bad interior formatting, and just a bad story in general. Back in the old days, there were no viable services accessible to the self-publishing author. You were lucky if you knew a guy, who knew another guy, who was an editor. This is no longer the case these days. There are thousands of editors, artists, and promoters out there, in the land of the internet, to help you.

With Amazon publishing thousands of titles per week, there is no reason why you, the Indie-Author, should fail in launching your book with - at the very least - moderate returns on your hard work.  

In this volume, you will learn:

• Why you need an ISBN
• The purpose of a Library Control Number, and why you need one
• Copyright
• The Hero’s Journey, and the importance of structure
• A checklist for your book launch
• What editors look for in a story
• Plagiarism
• Why you need to read

Among these critical keys for the success of your book, you will find plenty of other information regarding my journey into the world of self-publishing. My mistakes are there for you to learn from.

Letters From 1969

How far would you go for love?

An Army officer visits a mysterious antique shop and is given a hope chest containing love letters written more than fifty years prior by a nurse in Vietnam.

Mike Falco is a young Army lieutenant and 1960s aficionado. When Mike visits the new antique shop in town, the eccentric proprietors insist that he’s the rightful owner of an old dust-covered hope chest.

Reluctantly, he accepts the piece, despite the caveat that, “Once you touch what’s inside this chest, it will touch you back." He quickly discovers that the sole contents are love letters written in 1969 by a twenty-two-year-old Army nurse serving in Vietnam.

As Mike reads the letters, he finds himself deeply moved by them. And by the young woman who’d penned them more than a half-century before. He sets out on a quest to track her down, hoping she’s still alive so he can return them. But what he discovers when he finally unlocks the Secret of the Letters From 1969 propels him on an odyssey that spans not only continents,but across Time itself. It’s a journey fraught with risk and danger. But Mike’s willing to go as far as necessary for love, even if that means finding his future in the past.

So, put on your bell-bottoms, tie-dye, and love beads because Letters From 1969 will take you back to the Age of Aquarius, to the music, the culture, and the events that embodied that tumultuous time. And to all the joy—and heartache—that shaped both a nation and a generation.

All Bones Are White 

★★★★★ What does it mean to be American?

____

For a young immigrant boy named Carlo--who had to say goodbye to his birth name and country--the answer was a hard one to find.

When Carlo was just five years old, his Mexican mother, Camerina, married a gringo, Bill Allen. Wanting only the best for his three adoptive children, Bill moved his new family across the border. Bags packed and sights set for the sky, they left Mexico and set their sights on none other than the Big Apple.

From the start of this long trek across North America, Carlo’s childhood was filled with exciting new experiences, harrowing odds, and cultural backlash.

◆ Detailing one man’s personal journey of self-discovery in a foreign land, All Bones Are White offers readers a rare firsthand glimpse into the seemingly insurmountable struggles of the lengthy Americanization process.

Told in Carlo Perez Allen’s own words, learn first-hand how one person’s identity can be forcefully molded, generalized, and lost within the struggle to obtain the All-American dream.

SIGIRIYA: The Epic Story of Love, Loss, Betrayal and Tragedy in the Royal Court

  

SIGIRIYA:

The Epic Story of Love, Loss, Betrayal and Tragedy in the Royal Court

This is artful storytelling at its finest with a rich narrative tapestry full of eloquent prose and poetic imagery. The book will keep you enthralled from beginning to end - Sunday Observer.

Kasyapa is the bastard child of a king and a village girl. On his mother's untimely death, he is plucked from his tiny village and brought to the royal palace. Shunned by his father, the king, this lonely little boy is raised by royal courtiers. As an adult he is sidelined, but fate intervenes. The villainous Migara, the chief of the army and Kasyapa's nemesis, murders the king and implicates Kasyapa in this hideous crime. Even though his lowly birth denies him the right to the throne, Kasyapa must act to save the kingdom. What events unfold next that drives him to build Sigiriya and rule as a god-king?

This is also the story of Amira, a beautiful red-haired, blue-eyed girl, who is only twelve years old when her father sells her into slavery. At eighteen, she is traded for a hundred pearls and joins Kasyapa's harem. Here, she is transformed into an alluring concubine. Amira soon infatuates the king with her stunning beauty, wide-eyed innocence and good heart.

Set fifteen hundred years ago and based on real people and events, Sigiriya is a hauntingly beautiful story of palace intrigue, passion, deceit, betrayal, and tragedy. It reminds us that little has changed over the centuries. Good and evil, love and hate, decency and cruelty are ever-present. But some, by the sheer strength of character and determination, rise above their stations and do great things.

From Capitalism To Socialism Toward Communism a.k.a. Globalism: 

Three Generations of a Chinese Family Moving Forward in Chaos Over One Hundred Years 

 Not many books documented the complete modern history of China. This book details such a history. It tells the stories of three generations of a Chinese family. -Helen and George, Helen's father and uncle, and Helen's daughter Maggie.

In the first half of this book, China was a capitalist country. Americans had many interactions with Chinese people then. In the 1840s-1930s, American missionaries went to China. They sponsored schools that developed into higher education in China. In WWII, volunteered US pilots fought side-by-side with Chinese soldiers. Many Americans know the Chinese constructed the railroad in the 1860s. Fewer Americans are aware of another group of Chinese. To attract Chinese students, the US returned part of the indemnities. The Qing Dynasty sent students to America. They used the money for tuition. The Republic of China continued sponsoring the program until the 1940s. Helen's two brothers came to the US to study in the 1930s-1940s. George graduated from MIT with a Ph.D. So did his two brothers. They studied science and technologies in the US in the 1940s. Overseas-educated people played critical roles in China. Banking, education, architecture, and other industries. However, their life changed after the communists took over the country.

The latter chapters describe how the communists scrapped the capitalist system. Socialism ideology is becoming a trend in the United States. Americans would need to know the answers to some questions. Had small businesses fared well in a socialist system? Could Chinese people keep their houses and land? How about social security and medical insurance? Is the air clean? How about food safety? Would the government allow private medical practice? Had people's savings shrunk to a fraction over time? Would every worker receive compensation after completing a job? Would the government take people's lives as the priority? Why do so many parents separate from their children to make a living? Is there the Rule of Law? Would the government help to catch frauds and scammers? Would there be abuse in preschools and schools? Are vaccine shots for children safe?  Could one find a place to seek justice if something happened? Would the government watch everyone 24/7?

This book answers all these questions to the readers with real stories of the people. With the turning of pages, readers will learn about China's sceneries. That includes East, South, Northwest, Southwest, and Northeast China.
