Joke Time! 📖
It’s time for another one of my famous jokes. I am literally the King of Jokes. I’m the best in the business, and if you’ve seen my other jokes, you know what I mean (the phrases above are mostly fiction and are for entertainment purposes. Although I’m open to King of Jokes). Here we go! Where do farmers and kings come to read books? Any guesses…? Barn-s & Noble! The idea for the joke came while walking in the Seattle center. That’s when I saw a Barnes & Noble. Now, I’ve seen hundreds of Barnes & Noble’s before, but in this particular moment I noticed something. Barnes sounds a lot…

ANIMALS: A New Generation, Book Excerpt 2
This is the second book excerpt from my book ANIMALS: A New Generation. When I was 10 years old I had an idea for a book (I actually had a lot of ideas, but this was one of the first ones I acted on). My book, Animals, is a story about a 16-year-old boy named Aiden who discovers that he’s part of a centuries old lineage called the Animal Elders. The Animal Elders are warriors that can transform into their spirit animal. Joining up with a girl who seems to know a lot, and a mysterious bird, they come together to form the new generation of Animal Elders… just in time to…
