Anna Mitchell-Cannone’s New Book ‘The Tales of Duke and Ash: Coming Home’ Is a heartwarming children’s story about a dog searching for a family of his own

Anna Mitchell-Cannone’s New Book ‘The Tales of Duke and Ash: Coming Home’ Is a heartwarming children’s story about a dog searching for a family of his own

HUNTLEY, Ill. – September 29, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Fulton Books author Anna Mitchell-Cannone, who was born and raised in the Midwest, has completed her most recent book “The Tales of Duke and Ash: Coming Home”: an engaging children’s story that introduces Ash, whose future is up in the air. 

Desperate for a family of his own, Ash is stuck living a sad, lonely life as an outcast. Bravery, courage, and friendship are what he needs most right now. Will his circumstances change? Will he be stuck forever, scared and looking for love?

Author Anna Mitchell-Cannone and her husband, William, adopted their two dogs, Killian and Lycan, who became the inspiration for Duke and Ash. 

Anna is a speech pathologist who works mostly with the pediatric population. She loves to incorporate children’s books into her therapy sessions to facilitate literacy skills. After reading so many of them with her clients, she decided to write her own book. She wanted a story geared toward individuals who may feel they are not accepted as they are or who have joined new families. 

Author Anna Mitchell-Cannone writes, “A pack of older dogs came to check me out. They must have not liked what they found because they turned and walked away. When I asked to join their pack, the big dog growled, telling me to stay away.”

Published by Fulton Books, Anna Mitchell-Cannone’s book invites readers to discover whether Ash will finally gain a family. 

Readers who wish to experience this original work can purchase “The Tales of Duke and Ash: Coming Home” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes and Noble.

It’s a story about the power of hope in a very real way which starts with darkness but with the help of other thoughts and friends, Hope ends up changing.

PROVO, Utah – September 29, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Emmalisa Horlacher, a disciple of Jesus Christ who is a current student at Brigham Young University and grew up in West Valley City, Utah, has completed her new book, “Henry’s Hope”: a story that teaches kids about the power of hope.

Emmalisa states, “This book was written for those who need it; for those who feel alone, scared, empty, lonely, numb. The story itself covers heavy subjects, but there are unmistakably relatable pieces throughout the entire book. The goal is to bring more hope into this world and the one wish for this book is that it will reach the person who needs it, whoever that might be.”

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Emmalisa Horlacher’s new book is a story that will teach readers about the power of hope like no other children’s book ever has.

All the little thoughts in Henry’s mind couldn’t help him to feel better. He felt like something was missing and that something was Hope. When Henry finally feels Hope, something positive erupts, which eventually leads to a complete change within Henry’s mindscape. Readers will learn about the power of hope, a lesson for both young and old.

Readers can purchase “Henry’s Hope” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

Author Wallace Hoffman’s New Book ‘Economics 101 for Senators and Representatives’ is an Examination of the Ways in Which the National Debt Grew Under Obama’s Presidency

Author Wallace Hoffman’s New Book ‘Economics 101 for Senators and Representatives’ is an Examination of the Ways in Which the National Debt Grew Under Obama’s PresidencyRecent release “Economics 101 for Senators and Representatives: President Obama’s Legacy of Deficit Spending and National Debt” from Covenant Books author Wallace Hoffman discusses the ways in which policies and laws passed during the Obama administration’s time in office led to a growing national debt, affecting the average American’s wallet and daily lives.

LEESBURG, Fla. – September 29, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Wallace Hoffman, who earned a PhD degree from Ole Miss, served twenty-five years with the U.S. Air Force, and had a decades-long teaching career, has completed his new book, “Economics 101 for Senators and Representatives: President Obama’s Legacy of Deficit Spending and National Debt”: a thorough analysis of the ways in which the national debt and spending grew as the result of policy changes while President Obama was in office.

“The mission of this book is to inform all American citizens how their senators and representatives vote in Washington. Do your senators and your representative fulfill the responsibilities of government in the Constitution and vote in your favor? If that is true, they are your friends. Or do your senators and your representative violate the Constitution and vote against your best interest? If that is true, they are your enemies. If you vote for and reelect your enemies, they will be your enemies the next two or six years,” writes Hoffman. “President Obama’s legacy of deficit spending is characterized by average deficit spending of more than a trillion dollars annually. During those eight years, every American household went to bed each evening fifty dollars deeper in debt, regardless of how hard they worked or whether they spent any money. The national debt more than doubled during President Obama’s eight years in office. Each person’s share of debt increased from $30,000 to $70,000.”

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Wallace Hoffman’s new book is an eye-opening look at American economics and how it can be easily influenced by the will and biases of the politicians the American people elect to represent them.

Readers can purchase “Economics 101 for Senators and Representatives: President Obama’s Legacy of Deficit Spending and National Debt” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, or Barnes & Noble.
