    Bending Water and Stories Nearby

    In Bending Water and Stories Nearby, author Pete Wurdock has infused new life into the literary landscape with a collection of short stories. These stories are reminiscent of the pioneering narratives of Hemingway’s Nick Adams stories, avoiding the pitfalls of the derivative by plotting a course through the rough, unpredictable, and often isolated terrain of Michigan’s natural splendor. Bending Water and Stories Nearby is populated with characters wrestling with emotive realization in a voice that is as equally fresh as it is contemporary.

    Author Peter Wurdock is a Michigan born writer who has just released a new collection of short stories that are all based in northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula. Bending Water and Stories Nearby has only been out for a couple months and is already receiving great critical acclaim. This is Pete Wurdock’s second book written about Michigan. Bending Water and Stories Nearby is the only book of its kind that combines northern Michigan short stories with beautiful color artwork by Michigan artists.

    Bee Organic Skin Care and Candle Products

    The Bee Organic company was founded by Amanda of Oxford, Michigan with the belief that consumers needs, health and wellness are of the utmost importance. As a result, a high percentage of their business is from repeat customers and referrals. We welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and deliver you the best product in the industry.
    During Amanda’s first pregnancy, she was on the hunt for an organic stretch mark cream. Unfortunately, she couldn’t find one that was free of preservatives and additives but still smelled good. During her extensive search, she learned that 60% of chemicals in skin products are absorbed directly through the bloodstream. Many of these chemicals are known to cause cancer, tumors, and numerous other dangerous or undesirable effects. She started researching the safest, most effective organic raw ingredients for skin care during her second pregnancy but no existing product seemed acceptable. So, Amanda decided to make her own. Through extensive trial and error she finally developed something she could be happy with: a product that both smells and feels wonderful but at the same time is good for you and your skin. Plus, it’s safe if ingested and completely organic. After sharing some of her first skin-care products with friends and family, she knew she had something special. They loved the products and wanted more. Based on their feedback, she developed more products and decided to make them available to everyone. Amanda is very happy and proud to have Bee Organic products available to the public online. She is working with small local businesses to have them available for purchase there as well.
    Bee Organic only uses organic ingredients that are derived from nature in their purest form. Chemicals, preservatives, parabens, dyes or anything else toxic are never used in any of these products. Bee Organic Products are organic, gluten free, GMO free, cruelty free, and Fair Trade ingredients are used. Buy your Bee Organic Skin Care and Candle products today!

    Taj Cleans the Garage Children’s Book by Author Renee Prewitt

    The children’s book, Taj Cleans the Garage, intends to help close the 30 million word gap by igniting the imagination and the wonders of words and reading. Taj Cleans the Garage is a beautifully illustrated children’s book for ages 2-7, about a little boy who does a chore that turns into an exciting adventure. In the process he becomes a hero!

    Educators report that by the time a child is age 4, children from prosperous and more-educated households have heard and read more than 30 million more words than children from a disadvantaged socioeconomic background. So, Detroit author Renee Prewitt wrote the children’s book, “Taj Cleans the Garage” and illustrated by Michaela Nienaber.
    Taj Cleans the Garage Book

    Quote from the author, Renee Prewitt:

    “This is the first in a series of books I’m writing to help close the 30 Million Word Gap by Age 3,” Prewitt says. In addition, she also plans to talk to parent groups about the study and new findings in closing the achievement gap. “Reading to our children is so important,” she says, “but we should also engage them in conversation!” Prewitt hopes that Taj will also encourage more young boys to read.
