"What was it like going from no children to four children in an instant?" Ashley Wells has answered this question countless times. Ashley, and her husband Michael, were licensed to accept a placement of up to four children aged eight and younger into their home through their local foster care system. They didn't realize these parameters would exactly describe the children God would bring into their lives. In April 2012, after ninety minutes to prepare, Ashley and Michael became the parents of an eight-year-old boy, five-year-old girl, thirteen-month-old girl, and a two-and-a-half-week-old baby boy. Their journey included the typical "roller coaster" ride of emotions and setbacks, yet through God's grace they persevered in the journey. On November 22, 2013, Michael and Ashley welcomed these four children into their family forever through adoption. Releasing on their one-year adoption anniversary, Blessed Chaos: A Journey through Instant Motherhood is an inspiring memoir documenting Ashley's journey becoming a mother through foster care adoption and the lessons she learned along the way. Blessed Chaos is written with the prayer to encourage women in the midst of their chaos, enlighten readers on the foster adoption process, and inspire people to think about how they are called to support foster children as wells as foster and adoptive parents.

The Pierce and Yarrow families have remained the pillars of their lands; Greywether and Greenebough, but an unknown force has compelled a meeting at the Pierce Manor. A force that has slowly eaten away at the borders of the coast, ever-progressing toward Greywether. The land has roiled in blood and the buried secrets that the families have long protected, but these soon will become known, and the only piece left of their souls' worth measuring will be doubt.

The Shadow World contains the collective fragments of souls that were stolen from time through photographs. In this world, a series of murders has occurred, these have baffled detectives, John and Frank. And worse yet, mounting evidence suggests that the killer may not be from the Shadow World, but someone who has bridged the gap from the World of Color, where all photographs derive, and possessed an inhabitant of the Shadow World. If so, an evil soul has just been released.

Footprints in the Sand is collective book of poetry that explores emotions, thoughts, and dreams.

"The Cowgirl and the Racehorse offers a moving, intimate, and richly descriptive memoir on the relationship between a girl and her horses. Beginning with a traumatic horse-riding accident, Wells reflects on the personalities and characters of the many horses-both real and fictional-who have accompanied her through often difficult life experiences, teaching her strength, resilience, discipline, care, and trust. The Cowgirl and the Racehorse is also a scholarly reflection on the many cowgirl narratives-films, television shows, music, and books-that have marked the author's life passages and which offer complex and compelling images for girls as they grow: particularly in terms of their independence of spirit and the social and familial expectations with which they are burdened. Finally, The Cowgirl and the Racehorse is a detailed examination of the ethical and societal questions raised by the sometimes dangerous and cruel, and sometimes seductive and compelling, world of horseback riding"--

Sometimes people are just a few simple words. Some are as beautiful as a rose, others like a wilting flower. Some lead you out of the tunnel others leave you there. Some stab you in the back other watch you bleed. Some walk with you till the end of the road, others don't take the first step. Some say they are happy others hide it with a smile. Some apologize for their wrongs others keep it hidden. Some say they love you even if it's just a lie. Some people change your life others add more baggage to it. Some fall in love others don't. Some people....
