Release Day: The Coal Elf

We are excited for the release of The Coal Elf by Maria DeVivo!

Santa is real, but this isn’t your childhood Christmas tale!

Ember Skye is a fed-up teenaged Coal Elf with a big ashy chip on her shoulder. Torn away from her carefree life Aboveground, she was forced into a world of dirt and darkness in the Mines. Now, the coal is starting to take its toll. Plus, being the only girl-elf coal miner at the North Pole is not fun at all!

Then there’s Sturd—a power-hungry, twisted elf with a serious grudge against Ember. Hellbent on overthrowing the hierarchy, he leaves the smoking gun in Ember’s lap: the Naughty List.

When a mysterious illness threatens to decimate elves both Above- and Underground, Ember is thrust into a journey that will see her confront the demons of her past and lead her straight to the head of the North Pole himself.

After a security breach threatens their survival, Vee and Shane move into a new home and pack headquarters. Before she can even attempt to find a new normal, a new threat arises. Of course it does.

Release Day: Dead Carnage

We are excited for the release of Dead Carnage by Amanda Fasciano!

How do you defeat a monster that can injure the Gods?

All everyone wants to do is catch their breath. With Cadence’s brother and the head of Southern Paranormal Investigations gone, Cadence, Aiden, and Derrick struggle to move past the deaths of those dearest to them. They want to breathe and grieve, taking a moment for some quiet time out of danger. With X’Haldzos released from Scarecrow Farms, however, they have more pressing concerns as one-safe spaces are being demolished. The ghostly team will be shaken to its core as the dangers and casualties mount.

Andy is trying to find his way in the now far more complicated and dangerous waters of his job when things take a turn. Now he’s faced with choosing to meet his enemy head on or spending the rest of his life looking over his shoulder. Meanwhile, Cadence is reeling, not only from what happened, but from the implications of what could come as she’s caught in the crossfire of the grim chaos that’s enveloped the world.

With X’Haldzos free to roam, no one is safe: not mortal, not spirit, not even the Gods themselves. Breath catching is going to have to wait. He must be defeated. But how? And whose life may it cost this time?

Release Day: How to Eat Like a Normal Person

We are excited for the release of How to Eat Like a Normal Person by Kait Richardson, RDN, LD!

This is not a diet book because let’s face it: the last thing you need is another list of foods to avoid, rules to follow, or pills to take to “boost your metabolism” (Psst, they don’t exist).

Diets that guilt you for eating fruit and tell you to skip breakfast for the sake of weight loss say they’re healthy when in reality, they’re disordered. Rather, this book is a collection of stories and strategies to teach you how to eat like a normal person, and restrictive dieting is anything but normal. There is no single body type nor metabolism.

As a registered dietitian and ex yo-yo dieter, Kait Richardson knows first-hand that too many rules around food lead to anxiety, binge eating, poor body image, and distressing health outcomes. They create dysfunction around hunger cues and often leave you in a worse place than where you started (mentally and physically). Plus, diets teach you nothing about how to fuel YOUR unique body!

How to Eat Like a Normal Person will guide you through the journeys of six women who struggle with obsessive dieting. This book provides applicable tools and journal prompts to help women go from an all-or-nothing mentality to finding balance and peace with their diets. The strategies in this book are designed for:

  • Yo-yo dieters
  • Perfectionists
  • Emotional eaters
  • Binge eaters
  • And women overwhelmed by the conflicting diet information out there!

If you want to feel confident in your skin, boost your energy, and experience control around food for the first time in your life, How to Eat Like a Normal Person will forever transform how you think about food. After applying the strategies in this interactive workbook, you will never need another diet again!You can order this book  in all formats directly from our 4HP Website and receive 10% OFF using coupon code 4HP10!

Release Day: Comics Lit Vol. 1

We are excited for the release of Comic Lit Vol 1 by Alyson Shelton, Eric Lee, Kelly Gaines, Seth Singleton, AA McCartney, Heath Fodor, A.R. Farina, Tonya Todd, and Anthony D. Holt Jr.!

Comic books are high art.

They—and their graphic novel counterparts—harken back to classic literature and artworks. Through a series of essays, the authors will illustrate that modern pop culture characters are direct descendants of classic works of literature and their visual depiction is inspired by the works of master artists.

Join us as we peel back layers to discover gothic influences, representations of badass females, uses of the mask, and the new look of Rappaccini’s Daughter as well as discuss teaching comics in college, Black identity and power, mythological and religious tie-ins, and many more correlations hidden within the pages of action-packed heroes and villains. The essayists in this collection are, first and foremost, comic book fans with extensive backgrounds in art, film, education, literature, and writing.

Comics Lit Vol. 1 contains essays by Alyson Shelton, Eric Lee, Kelly Gaines, Seth Singleton, AA McCartney, Heath Fodor, A.R. Farina, Tonya Todd, and Anthony D. Holt Jr. Foreword by Bryan Edward Hill.
