“On Mondays We Play Bridge” is a fictional memoir about life lessons Joshua learned playing Contract Bridge with friends twice and thrice his age, including his best friend at 99-years-young. There are 13 tricks in a Bridge game, and so their are 13 chapters in this book, each with a unique lesson to tell. Lessons include losing a hand, being dealt a lousy hand, listening to your partner and more.

Joshua has learned so much from playing games most of his life, and he hopes to eventually write a story for each day of the week with lessons learned from other card games, video games and the like.

The Tale of Two Princes is a beautiful children’s story about two princes in love, but told as a classic fairytale. Forced to leave their kingdoms for being who they are, the two princes may eventually find a castle full of princes just like them, but it’s not until their families are reunited with the princes that the valuable lessons of tolerance and acceptance are truly learned.

The Tale of Two Princes is not just a story about finding your “happily ever after.” Instead, the two heroes in this book not only teach us all the lessons of tolerance and acceptance, but that sometimes you can choose your own family. And most of the time, the families we can’t choose learn to love us no matter who we are. The Tale of Two Princess teaches valuable lessons on forgiveness, acceptance, and inclusion for both the young and young at heart.
