Traveling with their faithful Pop-up Camper, 6 kids in tow (15- 3 years old), America has left them with a deeply enriching experience. A full colour, 300 page book with many stunning and inspiring photographs taken by their eldest son Asher (who was 15 at the time of the trip), this travelogue attempts to chronologically record the family's epic 43 state journey around the USA. The whole family contributes many candid thoughts and learning moments being on a daily shifting schedule and of their encounters in a vast country so different from their own. As exciting as any unscripted adventure could go- expect the unexpected. There were many ups and downs in the course of their journey. The Ongs give an insight into some of their Christian guiding principles on how their family of eight co-exist together in loving relationships, and how they overcame obstacles and difficulties they encountered. School was everywhere they camped, Education was lived out, America was their textbook, and God, their Master Teacher!

The Kid Looks Back is a collection of sixty-eight stories that cover a wide range of topics. I hope that his book will be a gentle hiding place where you can go to get away from something, return to something or go where you have never been. Some of these stories are true. Others are factually true, although bit embellished. Others are outright fabrications. Most look back to a kinder, mellower time. Digging for worms, swimming in a pond, using an outhouse or wading in a river may bring gross evaluations from our urbanized cousins. I hope that this book introduces them to life with a smile. Most of the stories have a message. Many are simply humorous. Entertainment is the motive. Carefree is the mood. Try to find yourself within these pages. May the beak of reality crack your comfort shell. Start anywhere. Finish anytime. Enjoy!

Everyone is feeling jolly, that is until a suspicious visitor arrives. The guest's presence has everyone on edge, or maybe that's just his fangs. But when a dead body turns up, and it's clearly a setup, Angelica knows she can't hang the vampire out to dry—Aunt Thelma taught her better than that. Can Angelica trace the clues and bring the real killer to justice, or will there be more than one untimely departure? Midnight at Mystic Inn invites you to Silverlake's New Year's Eva gala! But when the clock strikes twelve and a curse is unleashed, old acquaintances will be anything but forgotten. Who has it out for Silverlake? Or maybe the magical town isn't the target. Because when the snow settles, two women are left frozen at the center of it all. It'll take more than a bewitched blizzard to keep Angelica from tracking the clues. There isn't a minute to spare. If she doesn't catch the culprit, the two women remain frozen forever. Bewitched Break-Inn opens with a string of break-ins. Whoever the burglar is, he's smart, able to bypass magical wards and make off with the goods before the police even have a clue something's amiss. That is until Loretta Johnson's grandson is caught red-handed at the scene. It seems like the case is closed, but Loretta is convinced her grandson is innocent, and she wants Angelica's help to prove it. Too bad everyone else wants Angelica to stay out of it. But when Harvey's turned to stone in his jail cell, Angelica knows she has to take the case. Something more than petty theft is at play, and one's safe until she gets to the bottom of it. Welcome back to Silverlake, a place where nothing is EVER as it seems... and where a witch can find, and lose, a lot more than herself.
