Here are exerts from these reviews: 5* Review by K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite: Author Kam Karem masterfully blends elements of fantasy, adventure, and mythology, creating a rich and imaginative world filled with demigods, magic, and ancient conflicts... What makes this book especially compelling is its connection to real-world issues, particularly climate change and the preservation of ancient forests. Karem's inspiration from his family's legacy as Keepers of the Cedars of Lebanon adds a personal level of depth to the narrative that is truly unique... I would certainly recommend it for YA sci-fi and fantasy fans everywhere. 5* Review by Tanja Jurkovic for Readers' Favorite: Kam Karem delightfully describes the main characters and their quirky, but loving relationships with a touch of humor and lots of fun moments which will leave the reader simply wanting more! I enjoyed Karem's skillful implementation of the Gilgamesh myth in the story, which served as a catalyst for all the dangers that Ranger and his team had to face...It is truly a delightful read for every generation. 5* Review by Pikasho Deka for Readers' Favorite: >5* Review by Keith Mbuya for Readers' Favorite: Lovers of young adult fantasy and science fiction novels with a touch of action will love Kam Karem's Ranger Nader and The Unsolvable Riddle... Fans of Harry Potter will be hooked from cover to cover with this page-turner. 5* Review by Frank Mutuma for Readers' Favorite: ... I was hooked from the first page to the last. The plot line flows seamlessly, leaving no room for confusion. Karem also utilized suspense to great effect, leaving one yearning for more... I cannot wait to read the next book in the series. 5* Review by Liz Konkel for Readers' Favorite: ... One of the best parts of Karem's world is the blend of adventure and quirkiness that creates a fantastical atmosphere that has only grown since book one... Beneath the plot are prominent themes of leadership, friendship, and trust which can be seen in the various dynamics in Ranger's life. The menagerie of misfits continues to grow and they are just as endearing as they were in book one, having evolved individually since... (The Book) is a fun YA treat that blends charm, riddles, friendship, and science fiction to create a unique adventure that readers will enjoy.

Two Time Award WinnerFirst Place Winner of the 2020 Writer's Digest Self-Published E-Book Award for Fantasy 2021 Readers' Favorite Honorable Mention in the Fiction - Fantasy - General Reader's Favorite 5-Star ReviewsDivine Zape - "Witch'n features elaborately developed characters and fascinating world-building. The dialogues are well-written and the author's meticulous care for plot elements infuses the story with great entertainment."K. C. Finn - "Author Joshua Braun has crafted a completely enchanting work of fiction with plenty of wit to offer readers. One of the features which I found particularly impressive about this piece was its styling, voice, and attitude, which make the author just as important as the story in a way that Sir Terry Pratchett would be proud of. I adored the character development, dynamics, and tongue-in-cheek humor."Ruffina Oserio - " Witch'n is well-plotted and the pacing is fast; there are twists that I didn't see coming and the unpredictability in plot development makes the story a page-turning read. The descriptions are vivid and strong and from the very beginning, the reader is presented with horrifying images of the aftermath of evil magic. Joshua Braun's novel is intelligently plotted and superbly executed."Foluso Falaye - With an ingenious blend of dark humor and fantasy, Witch'n grabs the reader and holds their attention from start to finish. I couldn't put it down as I was arrested by the protagonist's energetic personality and her unbelievable evilness. It's nothing like I've seen before... prepare for a wild, dark, different, and memorable experience!">Bored with solving little people's problems and the petty squabbles of her beastly advisors, the witch quits, leaving the world in a much worse state than she found it with a new evil quest. It's time to learn how to be a good person. There's just one teensy-tiny little problem... Being good doesn't come easily - after all, it's much easier to sacrifice babies and summon hideous demons to get things done. Seeking out her old nemesis, a legendary-hero-turned-academic (who she only imprisoned and tortured a little bit), she gives him an outlandish proposition: to help her make a dazzling transformation from wicked witch to good. It's an offer he can't refuse. The odd couple have a long, perilous journey ahead of them and a lot of psychological hang-ups to work through. Can an evil witch ever truly be reformed - and what could possibly go wrong when you're relying on your nemesis to be your BFF? Witch'n is a rip-roaring high fantasy satire with razor-sharp wit and penetrating social critique that fans of Terry Pratchett will find irresistible. If you love vulnerable wicked witches, bizarre monster encounters, and debating the morality of baby sacrifice, then this novel is for you.

"The Sun Never Sets On The Scots", nor on the Immortal Works of Robert Burns. These original poems pay unique tribute to Mither Scotland, her Bairns and her National Bard. They also salute, and occasionally tease the countless Burnsophiles who celebrate his Life and his Birthday every year, all over the World.Written to entertain those of his ilk at home and abroad, this Scottish author offers a hilarious and frequently thought-provoking collection of poetry in Scottish dialect. These comical yet insightful verses cover subjects and characters cherished by the Scottish diaspora who revere Robert Burns, the man and his natural genius. The title reflects the dominant, albeit tasteful reign of "The Chieftain o' The Puddin-Race" as the traditional formalities of these "Burns Night" celebrations get under way. With absolutely no intention of competing with the genius of Scotland's National Bard, this collection is intended to provide additional fun after all the traditions are observed. Although written in various poetic forms, and some are somewhat unorthodox, they are relatively easy to read or recite. This is achieved by the mix of Broad Scots, Glaswegian and Standard English wording, together with the consistent rhythmic flow and conversational style employed.The author expresses sincere hopes that his readers will derive as much pleasure from "Haggis Rules!" as he has from Rabbie's songs and poems over the years. Illustrating these hilarious verses are the wickedly appropriate cartoons by Scott Relth.

Despite more tools and resources to assist us in our pursuit of wellness than have ever existed, the health and fitness of Americans continues to decline, with the Church leading the way in unhealthy behaviors. What accounts for this? Pastor and Author David Bush follows up his previously published book, Fit For The King, with a 30-day devotional that gets to the root of our problem - a misunderstanding or misapplication of the gospel. This book starts where all change must begin - with our minds and our hearts - by leading the reader through a daily re-examination of the relationship between our physical bodies and the development of gospel-centered motives for change. The Christian in need of physical transformation must first address his or her motive for change, then pursue a health journey that is guided by the grace and truth of the gospel! Before you try another fitness class or take the latest diet craze for a test drive, spend 30 days gaining God's perspective of your body, your motives, and your pursuit of better health!
