"The thrill of autobiography is in its "character." We hope to have introduced into our lives a life we've never met, a life of difference-that whatever we may think of this stranger, we emerge the better for hearing his or her story. Robert Klassen is a stranger I urge you to meet. He will not be a total stranger to many, for his books and ideas have introduced us to a new paradigm for the future. But just wait until you meet the author as a person. Survival is his challenge. How he does it is his gift to us." -Joe Taylor Ford, author of Zodiac Manager

"The Last Last-Day-of-Summer reminds me that all children deserve to exist in magical spaces where their imaginations and familial bonds will them into heroism.

Now, with the help of some very strange people and even stranger creatures, Otto and Sheed will have to put aside their differences to save their town--and each other--before time stops for good.

Welcome back to Fool’s Gold, California where summer love between two foes just may last a lifetime from New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery! Locked in an unexpected land dispute, Rafe Stryker is trapped in the one place he vowed never to return to—the Castle Ranch in Fool's Gold, California. He made millions facing ruthless adversaries in the boardroom, but nothing could've prepared him to go head-to-head against stubborn, beautiful Heidi Simpson. No one is more surprised than Rafe to discover that he's finding Heidi—and life as a cowboy—much more compelling than he wants to admit. For Heidi, the Castle Ranch is the home she's always wanted.
