Dump Your Problems is a collection of witty and satirical skits written by Pakistani author Karim Khan (better known by his surname "Ernest Dempsey," after the famous author). Each skit attempts to tackle a myriad of questions about our world, our lives, and the universe in general. The book doesn't follow your standard chapter by chapter layout but instead expands into more of a conversation between the various narrating voices and you, the reader. It's engaging in this sense, especially because the things being said are so true about the world we live in. You'll laugh when reading this book but you'll also take a moment to think about the fact that this was written by an author who lives in one of the most dangerous parts of the world and yet he has found a way to make his voice not only known but relatable no matter where you are from. Truly inspiring. NOTE: This book is a .pdf download only at this time. When you pay, you will be sent a .pdf of the book within 24-48 hours.

Dump Your Problems!

Ever wonder where the Santa got his elves? There are many myths and ideas about how the man in red got his help, but Jason Kinnear offers us a truly definitive version of the ancient origin of the helping elves. His book is highly imaginative and at times both a realistic, gritty portrayal of a group of people who struggled to make ends meet and also a children's story that centers on cementing a magical realism into place for anyone with an imagination. This title is poised to become an annual Christmas favorite, as it paints an interesting picture of what we have all come to accept as part of the background to the Christmas mythology.

Daniel Landes

Sakura Publishing is very proud to finally have acquired a deal with Daniel Landes. He is the owner of Watercourse Foods and City, O' City in Denver, Colorado, and also Osa Mariposa restaurant in Puerto Escondido, Mexico. Over the years, Daniel has built a tremendous and successful business with these restaurants delivering the finest in vegan and vegetarian dishes to be found in the entire United States. His restaurants are considered to be a main attraction of anyone touring Denver, including the rich and famous that can be seen nightly at his wonderful establishments. Yet even though Daniel has poured his life into these restaurants, he has created a story so prolific and so profound that it wouldn't be a big surprise if it becomes not just a national best seller, but a movie adaptation made by Studio Ghibli! It's called Joonie and the Great Harbringer Stampede. The story is about an unlikely hero that was born "into tumultuous times," according to Daniel. This hero happens to be a rabbit who is being heralded as a "runner" and who has the unforgiving mission of stopping the great Iam from overtaking the world. Confused yet? One read and you'll see why this is essential reading for our times, as it's not just about a rabbit but about the beginning consciousness. Joonie's story will be published by Sakura in late Spring and we can't wait for that day to come!
