The aim of this publication is to answer some of the anomalies that arise day-to-day. You will not discover advice on breast-feeding, weaning or sleeping here. So, if this is your aim please stop reading right now. For some light-hearted fact-finding, you are in the right place. The observations of one dad, who carefully watched and partook in all aspects of pregnancy, birth and subsequent nurturing, aims to answer some of your quandaries surrounding babies and toddlers. If you have ever considered, or even not, why in deed Dads wear pyjamas then the answer is contained herein along with many other conundrums such as an alternative strategy for dealing with parent competition, why you really move to the suburbs when you have children and what toilet training really means.

Stella Moon isn’t much for change. Why else would she have left her hometown to study music in London only to scurry back to teach scales to overgrown brats and the occasional curious adult? But sometimes you can’t escape change, especially when it’s staring you in the face (like, for instance, your boyfriend walking out on you), nipping at your heels (new kids next door who’ve decided your house is more fun to play at than theirs), whispering in your ear (sexy stranger who shows up in unexpected places) and knocking on your door (the return of Dad, who’s had more than a few falls from TV chef grace). With the world bearing down on her, it looks as if Stella has no choice but to embrace change and see where it takes her. Lucky girl.

Nothing Concealed: Veiled Secrecy Will Be Brought To Light By: Jarrod Houston When he was ten years old, Jarrod stood atop a bridge tug-of-warring with thoughts of jumping—years of sexual abuse and other generational curses had plagued him long enough. Nothing Concealed is an autobiography cataloging the trials and tribulations during the early years of Jarrod Houston’s life. The compelling, descriptive narrative is a coming-of-age story that meets a self-help book, offering a fresh prospective on the acceptance of trauma. Despite sexual abuse, domestic violence, suicide, Jarrod’s story is told through the lens of a child who miraculously maintains his sense of wonder through it all. With his three children and loving wife, Laura, to his daily coaching job, Jarrod Houston is bold, unapologetically authentic, and driven to make a mark on the world. He speaks directly from his heart and strives to be transparent about the struggles he faces. Through his memoir, Houston hopes to reach a larger audience to instill hope in the hearts of those who have endured trauma and allow all to take a moment of self-reflection. Houston believes everyone’s story matters and hopes to ignite a fire within the readers to share theirs. Adversity is inevitable, but Houston is living proof that life can—and will—carry on.

An irreverent black comedy about sex, drugs, murder… and children's baseball. Dwayne Devero is just like you and me, except he simply doesn’t give a s**t any more. He’s had enough. He’s done with people living life wrong. You’ll do it right, or he’ll bury you under the bases at the ballpark where he coaches. It’s just that simple. Tired of poor decisions being made all around him, from the politics of player positions on his son's little league baseball team to the philandering of his wife in his own bedroom, Dwayne decides that breaking is better than bending. What follows is a wild ride full of carnage and revenge, led by a man who will stop at absolutely nothing to bring honor back to his family, his community… and children's baseball. Baseball Dads is a pitch black comedy in which one man takes on the duty of bludgeoning honor back into a sometimes dishonorable world.
