Our Books

How BP Oiled the Gulf

          a Kids' Book for Adults.

     by David & Amy Welsh

Our first eBook is a collaboration between the writing of David Welsh and drawing by Amy Welsh, his daughter. It's a quick and funny read with a bite, chronicling the biggest oil spill in history as a child might understand it. All of the events it describes are true and all the characters are based on the real people...which is why they are so funny...if you have the right point of view.

There are fifty pages of text and cartoon style illustrations that we are betting will be worth your time and money. One thing is sure, there's nothing else like it.

Tara: Initiate of Heliopolis

     by Theresa Welsh
