The course of teen love never did run smooth, but these days it seems bumpier than ever. Children are growing up faster and pushing the boundaries of sexuality earlier, as well as facing new kinds of pressures most parents have never even dreamed of.

You cannot shut down your daughter's hormones. What she is feeling—the thrill of romantic anticipation and the euphoria of falling in love—is biologically programmed and age appropriate. But watching your daughter discover boys is both exciting and scary. Before you lies a major challenge: helping your daughter navigate the oncoming rush of romance during the young adolescent and teen years.

Boy Crazy! shows you how to recognize and remember what your daughter is going through—the excitement of a first date, the throes of a first crush, or the pain of a first broken heart. It also gives you insight into what teen love is like today, and helps you establish yourself as your family’s authority on relationships—no longer will daughters feel starved for guidance and forced to turn to the suspect guidance of the media or peers.

Learning how to enjoy romance and build healthy relationships are some of the most important skills to have throughout our lives. This book is a blueprint to understanding and helping your coming-of-age daughter start to develop those skills..

This book contains the first part in the history of the Goblin Wars of the Middle Realm. The Fourth Age is ending, and Torquatus, the mage king of the goblins, is moving to bring all the nations of the Middle Realm under his evil dominion. The elves are gone, those not destroyed by the goblins having fled over the sea. Only the dwarves and men of the South now oppose the goblins.

While the war rages on, a young boy mysteriously appears in the forests of the South and is found by Balbus, an old soldier. Balbus suspects that the boy, whom he names Arius, may be one of the vanished elves. He raises the boy in hiding, and he and his mage friend Tullius teach Arius the skills and the magic he will need to survive as he grows older. In his quest to discover his past, Arius travels the length and breadth of the Middle Realm, while facing dangers from magical trees, shape changers, goblins, trolls, and human raiders. Along the way he meets and befriends a dwarf named Ascilius and together they become involved in the struggle against the goblins, while Arius tries to discover the truth of his past..
