An action-packed, young adult coming-of-age adventure, K. K. Perez's The Tesla Legacy follows a precocious young scientist named Lucy Phelps whose fateful encounter in the Tesla Suite of the New Yorker Hotel unlocks her dormant electrical powers. As Lucy struggles to understand her new abilities through scientific experimentation, she is thrust into a centuries old battle between rival alchemical societies. One side wants her help and the other wants her dead, but both believe she is the next step in human evolution. Unfortunately, carriers of the genetic mutation—including Nikola Tesla—have a greatly reduced life expectancy. Even if Lucy can outrun her enemies, she can’t outrun herself.

"Covering 825,000 acres in the Coastal Plain and Brush Country of South Texas, King Ranch, established in 1853, looms large in Texas and American history. Since its founding by the energetic and visionary Richard King, it has indelibly captured for generations the essence of the American West. As Tom Lea asserted in his epic 1953 history, the spirit of the place "is alive in the land itself, in the far quietness of growing grass and grazing herds." In King Ranch: A Legacy in Art, editors Bob Kinnan, William E. Reaves, and Linda J. Reaves have assembled a team of collaborators to present a beautiful, informative account of the ranch and its place in the artistic heritage of the region. Pairing original paintings by artist Noe Perez with insightful essays from curators Bruce Shackelford and Ron Tyler, this book celebrates the many ways 'King Ranch culture' has enriched appreciation for the decorative, practical, and fine arts in Texas and the greater American West. Opening with a foreword by Jamey Clement, current chair of the board for King Ranch, Inc., and continuing with a brief introduction to the ranch's history by Bob Kinnan, King Ranch: A Legacy in Art will heighten appreciation of the natural beauty and artistic influence of this legendary place. BOB KINNAN previously managed the Santa Gertrudis Heritage Society and King Ranch Archives and has been King Ranch Historian since 2016. WILLIAM E. REAVES is the author of Texas Art and a Wildcatter's Dream, coauthor for Of Texas Rivers and Texas Art, and coeditor of Sense of Home: The Art of Richard Stout. LINDA J. REAVES is coeditor of Sense of Home: The Art of Richard Stout and coauthor of A Book Maker's Art: The Bond of Arts and Letters at Texas A&M University Press"--

A Smile of Hope is about a mother's love knowing no boundaries for her son, AJ Perez, who meets an untimely and sudden passing. Marivic Perez yearned for the opportunity to say goodbye to her son, and through her faith, her wishes are granted in special ways. Until they meet again, Marivic and her family continues to work in continuing AJ's legacy of inspirational hope. One does not need to know who AJ Perez was to want to read A Smile of Hope. A big take away from the book is; although we are all born into various "economic status," we are also born "equally gifted with some kind of talent and true potential." It is up to us individuals to recognize our gifted talent and to nurture and take care of its maximum potential with a kind heart, perseverance and humility. At a very young age, AJ was provided an opportunity to be in show business. He recognized he had the gift to entertain through his acting, dancing and singing. He made millions of fans very happy. He appreciated his gifts. He worked hard to always improve his craft. He was always grateful for his family, friends, colleagues and God. He knew the value of time and being present. He recognized the importance of goal setting and never giving up. He lived with purpose like there was no tomorrow.AJ's life of eighteen years may be considered very short by many. A Smile of Hope will convey it otherwise as perfectly timed with an abundance of blessings; and way before he was born, a life that was predestined and written in the stars.
