   Andrew McAllister is a dedicated husband and board-certified TV remote control operator. According to a recent survey of his three children, he is one of the most (and also least) popular fathers in his entire household. He holds degrees in both psychology and information systems, which means he can fix your computer software … but only if it really wants to change. He once ran into a goalpost while playing touch football. Some people think this explains a great deal about him. Andrew writes both fiction and non-fiction, including the relationship advice blog To Love, Honor, and Dismay. He strongly believes there are three kinds of authors – those who can count and those who can’t. He writes about problems that bother couples because they bother him too. The problems that is, not the couples. At least not most couples. He lives with his family in New Brunswick, Canada, where he is busy working on his next book.
   
2. Meet Franklin Bean - 2012-12-30 15:34:22-05
   Emmy Swain believes in the magical power of animals to heal and guide the human spirit. Emmy’s creativity was poured into music as a child and young adult. It then spilled into inventing, and eventually into writing. Life lessons linked with fantasy create a book series that any age will enjoy. Emmy has captured this in a world of her own. The Franklin Bean series was born out of her conversations with her own beloved pets to help end the devastating effects of bullying. The single mother has been an inventor, restaurateur, and business owner for over two decades. “Franklin Bean storybooks are created to be lean forward experiences, encouraging children to actively relate the characters’ situations to their real-world,” Swain says. “Intuitively, the words and illustrations reach into the readers’ imaginations, where real learning takes place. Choice allows them to craft their own story.” “That’s the beauty of Franklin Bean’s magic . . . new possibilities emerge.” A portion of book sales goes to the Worldwide Organization, Operation Smile.
