Dr. Donald High is a storyteller, innovator, and lifelong believer in the power of imagination. With a career that spans cutting-edge technology, artificial intelligence, and federal innovation, Don has always found joy in transforming the complex into the magical. Now, he brings that same spirit of creativity to the world of children's literature. A proud grandfather, former Chief Data Architect at the IRS, and current Chief AI Officer, Don's love for storytelling began not in boardrooms or data labs-but in bedtime stories. Inspired by his granddaughter, Leanna, and the whimsical way children see the world, Don set out to write stories that spark wonder, encourage perseverance, and remind every reader that sometimes the best kind of magic is the kind we make by accident. His debut series, Cedric Thistlewhump and the Academy of Accidental Arts, follows the misadventures of a well-meaning but bumbling boy wizard who never quite gets it right-but never stops trying. Alongside talking owls, musical ferrets, and a book that might be alive (or just very rude), Cedric reminds readers that failure is just the beginning of every great adventure. Don's writing is rich with humor, heart, and hidden wisdom-gently nudging children toward resilience, curiosity, and kindness. Each chapter ends with a mirrored Old English journal entry written by Cedric himself, who doesn't realize he's done something wonderful. He simply keeps going. And that's the point. When he's not writing, Don enjoys weightlifting (he's in training for a bodybuilding competition!), going on adventures with his real-life diva partner, and turning everyday chaos into creativity. He also holds over 300 technology patents, teaches university-level blockchain courses, and has helped shape some of the most innovative data strategies in the federal government. But his proudest title is 'Grandpa.' Don believes that every child deserves to see themselves in the stories they read-whether they're twins like Cedric and Ellie, musical like Rook, curious like Whindle the Owl, or a little bit all of the above. His books aim to be inclusive, joyful, and just a bit mischievous. Welcome to the world of accidental magic, improbable heroes, and the kind of fun that gets a goose floating through town. Because in Don's world, mistakes aren't the end of the story-they're where it all begins.
Being fabulous is hard. Being cursed is harder. But being cursed and fabulous? That's a full-time crisis. Princess M'Niya Minus was born to shine. Her walk is flawless, her tiaras are legendary, and her confidence could knock down castle walls. From royal galas to glitter-drenched pageants, she always brings the sparkle and the side-eye. But everything changes the day she trips over a magical mirror in the garden and accidentally breaks it. Out jumps a grumpy forest hag who curses her with seven terrifying words:"e;Everything you touch shall turn to trash."e;Suddenly, M'Niya's life of glam becomes a disaster parade. Her crown flattens like a pancake. Her milk explodes. Her sketchbook melts into goop. Even bubble bath isn't safe anymore. And when a ballerina music box breaks in her hands, M'Niya knows the curse is real and it's personal. With the Royal Radiance Showcase only days away, she must find a way to break the curse before she wrecks her future and every shiny thing in sight. But this diva doesn't have to do it alone. Enter a cast of wonderfully weird companions:Sir Slinksalot: A thug-life ferret who doesn't believe in pants but does believe in biting curses. Princess Zaria: M'Niya's secret twin sister, a calm, brilliant magic student with boots, brains, and a scroll that could save them both. Jax: A wand-wielding rhythm mage with a beatboxing lizard, a crush on chaos, and maybe a crush on M'Niya too. Kirrily: A barefoot forest girl who speaks to animals, trees, and occasionally stubborn princesses. She doesn't like drama. Which is awkward. As M'Niya stumbles through magical training, cursed objects, musical frogs, and royal tantrums, she begins to realize the curse might not just be about what she touches but how she sees the world around her. To break it, she'll have to follow eight strange scroll rules, face her worst habits, and maybe, just maybe, grow into the kind of royal who can touch things without destroying them. Will M'Niya figure out the truth behind the curse before she trashes the entire kingdom?Will Sir Slinksalot ever stop judging her?And will she finally learn that sparkle means nothing without self-control?Perfect for readers ages 8 12, Princess M'Niya Minus: Everything I Touch Turns to Trash is a hilarious, heartfelt, and unapologetically fabulous tale about magic, mistakes, and what it really means to glow up on the inside. If you love stories with sass, scrolls, and slightly cursed glitter, this one's for you.
