The Complete Toller book cover — two Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers on a golden-hour beach

September 2026 · Dog Breeds · Owner’s Handbook

The Complete Toller: The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever Owner’s Handbook

Most breed guides are written from research. This one was written from the kitchen floor, by an owner in Nova Scotia who lives every day with two Tollers. The scream nobody warns you about, the engine that outruns every Lab at the park, the sensitive heart that shuts down under harsh handling, and the health file a breeder should show you before you pay a deposit — because generic retriever advice keeps failing Toller owners. An honest self-assessment that is allowed to say no, the first weeks home, training built for the breed, Addison’s disease in plain language, and the senior years. 170 pages, paperback and Kindle.

Pool Maintenance, Open to Close cover — a sunlit backyard pool with a yellow banner and dose-table badge

September 2026 · Pool Care · Kindle

Pool Maintenance, Open to Close: The Complete Season-by-Season Guide

You know your alkalinity is low. Nobody has told you how much to add. Every pool book on the shelf gives you the target ranges; this one gives you the amount — a dose table at the end of every chemistry section, worked out for pools from 5,000 to 30,000 gallons. Organised by your pool’s year, from opening day through the weekly routine to closing and winter, with chlorine and saltwater side by side and troubleshooting you enter by what you can see. Kindle edition, free with Kindle Unlimited.

The Home Ops Manual book cover — a house blueprint and tools on deep navy

September 2026 · Home Maintenance · Log Book

The Home Ops Manual: Home Maintenance Log Book and Field Guide

Stop finding out where the water shut-off is during the flood. Every house has a manual — yours didn’t come with one. Nobody hands you the shut-off valve, the furnace filter size, or the year the roof went on, and most maintenance logbooks just hand you blank forms and assume you already know what belongs in them. This one is a field guide and a record book on the same page: what to check, how to judge whether it is your job or a licensed trade’s, and the line to write down that it is done. An emergency shut-off map you fill in on day one, seasonal checklists, and paint and appliance records that outlast your memory. 128 pages, 8 x 10 inches.

Food & Symptom Logbook cover — a fork and a symptom chart on soft teal

September 2026 · Health Tracker · Food Diary

Food & Symptom Logbook: 98-Day Food Diary and Symptom Tracker

Pinpoint the food behind your bloating, headaches or flare-ups in 98 days. Symptoms rarely arrive with a label — they turn up hours after a meal, mixed in with sleep, stress and everything else you ate that day. Memory edits the meal; a page written at the table does not. Every day gets a full page: four meals with their clock times, the seven most common suspects to circle, and a symptom table that records when it hit, how bad, and how long it lasted — the timing most trackers never ask for. Every fourteen days, a review page turns the entries into a shortlist. Built for elimination diets and delayed reactions. 120 pages.

About the book
Chalk Lines: A Christmas Murder Mystery Word Search book cover — a snowy cobbled street at night with wreaths and fairy lights, a holly Christmas card bearing a fingerprint on a word-search grid of cobblestones, and yellow tape reading 80 Christmas Cases

October 2026 · Murder Mystery · Word Search

Chalk Lines: A Christmas Murder Mystery Word Search

Eighty Christmas cases, and one card nobody can account for. It is Christmas in a small English town and every mantel is crowded with cards — but at every death there is one that nobody in the house can explain. Same mechanic as the series: one word missing from the grid names the killer, the letters you never use spell the crime scene, and one entry decodes to the weapon. Four difficulty divisions, one case to a spread, every case machine-checked before printing. Stands entirely on its own. In time for Christmas.

Chalk Lines Volume 2 book cover — a fingerprint over a word search grid on a rain-slick night alley, with yellow crime-scene tape reading 120 All-New Cases

September 2026 · Murder Mystery · Word Search

Chalk Lines, Volume 2: Murder Mystery Word Search

120 all-new cases, and a different man to catch. Volume 1’s culprit was at every scene; this one was never at a single one — he is in the paperwork, and the last case in the book is his own. Same mechanic: one word missing from the grid names the killer, the letters you never use spell the crime scene, and one entry decodes to the weapon. Four difficulty divisions, one puzzle to a page, every case machine-checked before printing. Reads on its own. 276 pages.

Chalk Lines book cover — a white chalk body outline over a word search grid on a rain-slick night alley, with yellow crime-scene tape reading 120 Connected Cases

September 2026 · Murder Mystery · Word Search

Chalk Lines: Murder Mystery Word Search

A word search you have to solve rather than finish. Every grid is a crime scene: one word on the list is missing, and that word is the killer’s name. The letters you never use spell where the body was found, and one entry is gibberish until you run it through the division’s decoder to get the weapon. One puzzle to a page across four difficulty divisions, every case machine-checked before printing — and every case gives up a single letter. Solve all 120 and those letters spell a confession. 276 pages.

Caregiver Daily Log Book cover — a large-print daily care page for shared care

August 2026 · Caregiving · Large Print

Caregiver Daily Log Book: Large Print Daily Care Tracker

End the shift-change guesswork. When a spouse, an adult child and a visiting aide all share one person’s care, the same questions come round every day: was that given? has she eaten? when was the last time? A note on the fridge answers it for an hour — it cannot tell the next person what happened this morning, or the doctor what happened last month. One page a day, big enough to read without hunting for your glasses: vitals at the top of every page, a space to initial every medicine, and every thirty days a single summary page written to hand straight to the doctor. 136 pages, 8.5 x 11 inches.

About the book
Medication Log Book cover — an extra large print daily medicine tracker

August 2026 · Caregiving · Extra Large Print

Medication Log Book: Extra Large Print Daily Medicine Tracker

Four dose times a day and a space to initial every one — so nobody has to guess whether a dose was given. A pill box answers that for today. It cannot tell you what happened yesterday, and it cannot tell your husband what you gave an hour ago. Headings at 18 point and nothing on a daily page below 13, set in Atkinson Hyperlegible — the typeface the Braille Institute drew for low vision. Morning, midday, evening and night on every page, plus a separate row for as-needed medicines, and a sign-off column for shared care. 110 pages, 8.5 x 11 inches.

A 70th birthday party in a book, for anyone born in 1956.

A host page at the front explains exactly how to run the night, so whoever picks it up can start in five minutes. Team scorecards, a tiebreaker for when it goes to the wire, and every fact checked against two independent sources. 200 questions, 120 pages.
