✅ A Comprehensive Estate Planning Bonus Toolkit Featuring Clear, Practical Guidance - Brand-New 2026 Senior Edition

An Estate Planning Guide Written Specifically for Seniors and Retirees

Estate planning shouldn't feel intimidating, expensive, or overwhelming, especially at this stage of life. Yet many seniors put off estate planning for years because most estate planning books read like law textbooks, are filled with confusing legal language, or subtly push readers toward costly attorneys and complex services they may not need.

If you're over 60 and want clarity not confusion this guide is for you.

If Any of These Sound Familiar, You're Not Alone:

❌ You worry about what will happen to your home, savings, or property after you're gone
❌ Lawyers' fees seem overwhelming just to "get started"
❌ Online forms feel generic, risky, or incomplete
❌ You're unsure whether a will, living trust, or both are right for you
❌ You fear probate delays, court involvement, or family conflict
❌ You want your wishes honored not questioned or misunderstood

Len Lawson's remarkable poetry collection New Names for Stars is a journey and a companion for that journey, exploring Afrofuturism, superheroes, mental health, social justice, and beyond, with narratives ranging from personal to universal. At one moment, we're experiencing the daunting-yet-intimate vastness of the cosmos, as the poem "slush" instructs, "bury me in a slush of stars. if i transition from this life to the next, light scrubbed from my eyes, call me by this name. i'm rejoining the slush that birthed me." Later we interface with important figures like Simone Biles, Guy Bluford, and Amanda Waller, and conclude with the poignant "Elegy for Chadwick Boseman." Lawson's talent for stunningly original diction is a constant in this volume of varied textures and themes. It's impossible not to be awed by his turns of phrase, as in "what if the universe is flesh" when the speaker notes, "wasn't the universe supposed / to be made by a voice, // the single most devastating / weapon to the body? // no one asked for light." Every poem in this collection provides readers with the gift of wisdom, opening a conversation with history both distant and near, enlightening as it delights.

--Mary Biddinger, Author of Department of Elegy and The Girl with the Black Lipstick

Five college friends.

One sacred tradition: sun, sand, and sisterhood.

But this year? The tide rolls in with more than just beach chairs and sunscreen.

There are old secrets... sharp as sea glass.

Salty confessions whispered over coffee and crab cakes.

And a preacher's wife-sassier than ever-who might just start a revival before brunch.

One's misplacing more than just her keys.

One's holding onto fading memories with both hands.

Another's marriage is coming apart at the seams.

One sets a place for someone who's never coming back.

And one? She's holding a diagnosis no one saw coming.

They laugh. They cry.

They speak truth, spill tea, and share things they swore they'd never say out loud.

But somewhere between the flare-ups and forgiveness...

They remember who they are.

Messy. Funny. Real.

Just like life.

Just like friendship.

Just like this trip.

Culture of Excellence is a deeply practical leadership book for school leaders who want to build high-performing learning cultures without sacrificing trust, wellbeing, or sustainability.

Drawing on decades of work with principals, leadership teams, and education systems around the world, Lee Crockett reframes excellence as something far more than improvement plans, initiatives, or performance metrics. Instead, excellence is shown to be a cultural outcome-shaped daily by leadership presence, decision-making under pressure, professional relationships, and the way learning is experienced by both staff and students.

This book offers a clear and coherent pathway for leaders navigating complexity, change, and rising expectations. Crockett challenges the dominant myths that excellence is driven by overwork, compliance, or individual heroics, and replaces them with a research-informed, experience-tested framework focused on intentional leadership, shared responsibility, and sustainable practice. Through real-world school contexts, reflective prompts, and applied insights, readers are guided to examine how their leadership behaviours either strengthen or erode the culture they are trying to build.

Written specifically for principals, superintendents, system leaders, and educators with leadership responsibility, Culture of Excellence bridges strategy and lived practice. It supports leaders who are tired of surface-level reform and are ready to engage in the deeper cultural work required to improve learning, strengthen professional trust, and restore meaning to leadership.

This is not a book about doing more.

It is a book about leading with clarity, intention, and humanity-so that excellence becomes sustainable, collective, and deeply embedded in the life of a school.

Attila Veres' The Black Maybe was hailed as one of the best horror debuts in years and was chosen as Rue Morgue's best collection of 2022 and a finalist for the Bram Stoker Award. Critics compared it to debuts by Clive Barker and Thomas Ligotti in terms of its sheer originality of style and vision. Now Veres is back with a follow-up collection of unforgettable cosmic horror.

In 'a pit full of teeth', a writer finds out that one of his stories will be translated into an extremely obscure language. But when his copy of the book arrives, it doesn't match what he wrote: instead, the text contains a much more horrific narrative that may be playing out in reality. In 'The Designated Contact Individual', a traveling representative for a soft drink company finds his sales territory expanding when he is sent to an alternate reality where they have their own nightmarish use for his cola. The narrator in 'The Summer I Chose to Die' is ready to give up on life, until a murderous army of fish-people begins to rise from the oceans. And in the title story, money literally does grow on trees when the government tries to alleviate poverty by supplying families with a strange new plant species, but their newfound financial gain comes at a terrible cost.

Like the stories in his first collection, the tales in This'll Make Things a Little Easier are blood-chillingly frightening, often darkly humorous, and always dazzlingly brilliant.

Growing up in the quiet, historic town of Natchitoches, Louisiana, Christopher Metoyer appeared to have the perfect childhood: loving parents, a stable home, church on Sundays, and summers filled with bikes, cousins, and streetlight curfews. But beneath the surface lived a tension he could never name-whispered comments, lingering stares, and a growing sense that something about his identity didn't add up.

At twenty-one, a DNA test shattered the silence and confirmed what his intuition had sensed for years: the man who raised him was not his biological father. What followed was a deeply personal journey through identity confusion, grief, anger, forgiveness, and spiritual rebuilding-and an emotional reunion with the father he never knew.

Pieces of Me is a raw and honest memoir about growing up surrounded by love but deprived of truth, and the quiet wounds created by secrecy. With vulnerability, reflection, and faith, Metoyer explores the hidden cost of silence, the complexity of family bonds, and the healing power of truth.

Cinematic, heartfelt, and deeply human, Pieces of Me invites readers into a story of self-discovery, reconciliation, and becoming whole-reminding us that identity is not found in fragments, but restored through truth, grace, and courage.

In his first collection of poetry Quinn Bailey has crafted a book that is meant to live in your backpack, to be carried with you, as companion, field guide and friend as you traverse the rich wilderness of life. Inspired as much by the words of poets like Mary Oliver and Jim Harrison as by the songs of the trees and the birds, the poems within arise from a deep love of the natural world and call attention to the power an outer landscape has to be, all at once, mirror, compass, and divination tool for our inner landscape.

In this hit gritty action manga, a young boy is framed for murder and cast off the edge of a floating city into the abyss, where he grapples with the monsters that the elite high above would rather forget. The more the rich glitter, the higher the price paid by the poor...

With an anime adaptation from the studio behind Mob Psycho 100 and the writer behind Attack on Titan and Vinland Saga, Gachiakuta is the dystopian epic critics are calling "the next big shonen series!"

Rudo lives in the slums of a floating town, where the poor scrape by under the shadow of the rich who live a sumptuous life, simply casting their garbage off the side, into the abyss. Then one day, he's falsely accused of murder, and his wrongful conviction leads to an unimaginable punishment--exile off the edge, with the rest of the trash. Down on the surface, the cast-off waste of humanity has bred vicious monsters, and if Rudo wants to have any hope of discovering the truth and seeking vengeance against those who cast him into Hell, he will have to master a new power and join a group known as the Cleaners who battle the hulking trash beasts of the Pit!
