There's a Mouse in My Blouse
The idea for this book came to me while receiving chemotherapy treatments. My implanted Medi-Port made a very scary situation far less frightening and far less painful. To me, my port looked like a little mouse, so I imagined it as a friend who was there to help me whenever I needed it.
May this book bring a smile to all who read it, and to all who need it.

Match Penalty
I have two goals this season:
1. Win the Cup with the Seattle Serpents.
2. Get my wife back.
I've always been the kind of guy who sticks to my vows. So when my wife asked for space, I let her walk away, hoping what we had built would be strong enough to withstand it.
When she shows up three years later in Seattle, smack dab in the middle of the best season the franchise has ever had, I'm torn between trying to figure out my marriage and not letting my teammates down.
I've never been one to shy away from a fight, and I refuse to start now. This time, though, it's more than just a game on the line-it's my marriage, and I refuse to call it quits.

Numinosity: A New England Forester's Search for the Ineffable
There are moments in our lives where a door of awareness opens, if only for a brief second. These are the moments that are simply impossible to express, but moments that have captured us for all time.
Join a New England forester on a fifty-year quest for something larger than all of us. Here are a series of essays, stories and poems emerging from the natural world, but always connected to a life that has had its common share of illumination and darkness, hope and despair, love and loss, ambition and failure, resistance and acceptance, anger and peace. Marking timber for harvest becomes a meditation on the unique connection between responsibility to the natural world and awareness of self and others. A shadow in the woods, a voice on the wind opens up the mystery inherent in all the wisdom traditions. The impact of a sudden death on a logging crew lingers for decades, demanding a resolution between hubris and fate. The crushing retreat of the United States from climate science and advocacy manifests in a longing for the precise language of another time when we were closer to the natural cycles of life.

Democracy We Must Keep: Seven Founders, Nine Documents, and the Ideas That Shaped America
"A great scholar of the American past, David O. Stewart has brilliantly mined what has come before to guide us in our own, all-too-urgent American present. An important and timely volume." Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The American Struggle
What did America's founders say about democracy-and can we remain true to their vision for America?
Two hundred fifty years ago, passionate men attempted to create something the world had never seen before: a nation built not on kings or armies, but on ideas where the people ruled.
In The Democracy We Must Keep, historian David O. Stewart takes readers inside the nine key documents that shaped the formation of the United States-from Patrick Henry's thunderous cry for liberty to the carefully crafted design of a government chosen by the people, with limits on all officials holding power under the Constitution.
Through the words of seven visionary founders-Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton, Gouverneur Morris, and others-Stewart shows how a fragile experiment in self-government took shape.
These men were not saints. They argued passionately. They worried that the new nation might fall apart. Yet together, they forged the principles that must still define American democracy.
As the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary, The Democracy We Must Keep urges readers to rediscover core ideas that built the nation-and to consider what it will take to protect them.
Accessible, engaging, and timely, this book is for anyone who wants to understand how American democracy started, and why it still matters.
"The American experiment was built through action based upon the ideas preserved in our founding documents. In this compelling call to engage with our past to secure our future, David Stewart shows that democracy is not a spectator sport, but a responsibility each generation must uphold." Colleen Shogan, 11th Archivist of the United States, CEO of In Pursuit
"In The Democracy We Must Keep, noted historian David O. Stewart provides an inspiring antidote to America's current dangers of one-man rule and unprincipled government. Alarmed citizens can do no better than read Stewart's compact account of how America's flame of liberty was kindled, and how we must restore it." James McGrath Morris is a New York Times best-selling biographer and author of Pulitzer: A Life in Politics, Print, and Power
"The cause of America is...the cause of all mankind," the pamphleteer Tom Paine wrote in 1776. Grappling with very human sins and flaws, Americans have led the cause of freedom from Valley Forge to Omaha Beach, and promoted human rights from Seneca Falls to Selma. But now a deviant strain of oppression stalks America: What better moment for David O. Stewart, jurist and historian, to bring us The Democracy We Must Keep, a crisp and eloquent reminder of our better selves. "Only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger," John F. Kennedy said. "I do not shrink from this responsibility, I welcome it." So does Stewart, and in his books we find the energy, the faith and the devotion that Kennedy called for. The trumpet summons us again and Stewart, to our good fortune, is a virtuoso. John A. Farrell, Author of Richard Nixon: The Life, Pulitzer Prize finalist

To Steal a Throne
Her magic feeds on lies.
Mira Kyler runs the court of Virdei from the shadows. Ever since she helped her half-brother Luc cheat his way into the role of Virdei's leader, she's used her lie-powered magic to collect secrets from members of court, then used them as blackmail to keep her brother in power. Kaidren Vale has magic of his own-magic that can detect the precise nature of someone else's power with a single touch. Kaidren is after the throne, and Mira knows it could be his for the taking if he so much as brushes against her and discovers Mira has been manipulating the court with her power for years. As Kaidren and Luc compete for the throne in The Trials-three deadly challenges-Mira realizes, even as she fights to keep her brother in power, that no matter who wins, she'll be stuck serving someone else. She's done hiding in the shadows. She wants the throne for herself. To get it, she'll have to betray both her own brother and Kaidren-but the fiercer the competition gets, the more Mira realizes that the one boy who could destroy everything is the one boy she might not be able to resist.
His magic could destroy her. -
Second Estate: How the Tax Code Made an American Aristocracy
Named by The New Yorker as one of the Best Books of 2025
A revelatory book that lifts the curtain on America's most consequential public deception: how the rich get richer using tools the government gave them.
Amid conflicting narratives about the drivers of wealth and inequality in the United States, one constant hovers in the background: the US tax code. No political force has been more consequential--or more utterly opaque--than the 7,000-page document that details who pays what in American society and government. Most of us have a sense that it's an unfair system. But does anyone know exactly how it's unfair? Legal scholar Ray D. Madoff knows. In The Second Estate, she offers an unprecedented look behind the scenes of America's byzantine system of taxation, laying bare not only its capacity to consolidate wealth but also the mechanisms by which it has created two fundamentally separate American societies: the working Americans who pay and the ultra-rich who benefit. This is not a story of offshore accounts or secret tax havens. In The Second Estate, Madoff shows that the US system itself has, over time, been stripped and reconstituted such that it now offers a series of secret paths, hidden in plain sight, for wealthy people in the know to avoid taxation altogether. Through the strategic avoidance of traditional income, leveraging of investments and debt, and exploitation of rules designed to promote charitable giving, America's wealthy do more than just pay less than their share; they remove themselves from the tax system entirely. Wealth becomes its own sovereign state, and the living is surprisingly--and maddeningly--cheap.

Inside are 61 short, actionable strategies you can start in 5-15 minutes, covering the seven areas where high school students struggle most: academics, time management, phone and screen habits, social life and emotions, driving and jobs, and mental health.
This is not a lecture. It's a toolkit. You don't have to do all 61. Open to any page, pick one that fits your life right now, and try it. Even 10 out of 61 will change how your week feels.
Inside you'll find how to: close the gap between what you know and what your grades show, stop losing track of assignments with one simple system, build morning and nighttime routines that actually stick, take back control of your phone and screen time, handle emotions that go from 0 to 100 in seconds, and get ahead on life skills nobody teaches in class - driving, jobs, laundry, and money.
You're not lazy. You're not broken. You just didn't have a system - until now.
Book 2 in the Don't Fall Behind series.
