Bella Brown Meets Pip the Domovoi (Bella Brown Picture Book Series)

 Young Grill Shining Flashlight on a Bear looking Creature


Bella Brown Meets Pip the Domovoi

(Bella Brown Picture Book Series)


Eight-year-old Bella Brown thought her grandma's stories about Baba Yaga, Koschei the Deathless, and the domovoi were just tall tales... until she meets Pip, a tiny blue-haired, orange-skinned domovoi, in her own living room.

When Pip loses the magical key that protects his world, Bella must help him find it before sunrise, otherwise Sinti, the evil immortal sorcerer, will find a way into Pip's world and steal all the domovoi magic.

With only her wits, a glowing locket, and a bit of stardust magic, can Bella and Pip save the day?

Join Bella on a whimsical late-night adventure filled with shape-shifting shenanigans, kitchen capers, and the power of believing in the extraordinary. Perfect for young readers who love a sprinkle of magic in their bedtime stories.

Discover the wonder that hides in plain sight in this enchanting tale of friendship, bravery, and the magic of helping others.

Introducing the domovoi to American children's literature for the very first time. Inspired by real Slavic bedtime stories carried across the ocean by the author's grandmother, Yetta.

While the domovoi in the Bella Brown books are family-friendly and kid-fun, domovoi are ancient Slavic household guardian spirits rooted in real Eastern European folklore tradition, older, wilder, and far more interesting than the house elves you might already know from Harry Potter and similar stories.

THE WHISPER IN THE JAR

   Cracked Jar with Light Coming from the Crack


 

Prophecy always demands a witness. She was seventeen when she learned that the gods do not send visions to help. What she saw, she could not unsee. What she warned against, she only hastened. And what she became, no one had a name for. Across the burning cities of the ancient Mediterranean, she walked. She lived among scholars who feared her, slaves who hid her, senators who used her. She loved quietly. She lost everyone. She kept writing letters to a girl who could no longer read them. And when she could bear no more witnessing, she sealed herself inside a clay jar and waited for the world to forget her. The world forgot. Until someone came looking. A literary historical novella in the tradition of Marguerite Yourcenar's Memoirs of Hadrian and Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities. For readers who love quiet, philosophical fiction set in the long shadow of the ancient world.

    Book Title on Black book Cover


Claude isn't a chatbot anymore. Stop prompting — start delegating.

Most people type a question into Claude and copy the answer. That's using a fraction of it. Claude is now a stack for thinking, creating, remembering, connecting, delegating, automating, and orchestrating real business work — and this is the playbook for running it like an operator, not a tourist.

Claude AI for Business: The 10X Playbook takes you from your first good answer to a governed, automated Claude Business OS — beginner to builder, everyone levels up. Written by a founder who runs an agentic AI workforce in production, it's a complete implementation system, not a prompt dump.

  • Artifacts & finished deliverables — real spreadsheets, decks, docs, dashboards, and mini-apps.
  • Skills, Connectors & MCP — teach Claude your procedures and safely connect your tools with least-privilege permissions.
  • Cowork — delegate a complete job, schedule recurring work, and run reliable multi-agent workflows behind a human approval gate.
  • Claude Code — for operators and founders, not just developers: build tools, automate operations, work in parallel.
  • Department playbooks for executive, marketing, sales, customer success, operations, finance, product, and engineering.
  • Safety & governance — prompt-injection defense, permissions, evidence, and an ROI scorecard to prove it worked.

Signature frameworks — the Capability Ladder, the BRIEF delegation method, the Governed Business-Agent Pattern, and Proof-Before-Scale — give you a memorable path, plus a living companion vault of workbooks, 101 Power Moves, 50 BRIEFs, and an exhaustive, proven Skill library.

Agentic Software: The App Layer Wins

   Book Title on Black Background with a simple flow chart



The software era just ended. Here's what replaces it—and how to own it.

For thirty years, business software did one thing: wait for you. You opened the app, clicked the buttons, chased the tasks. That era is over. The next generation of software doesn't wait—it works.

In Agentic Software, Contractor+ founder Justin Smith sends a dispatch from a few years into the future: a real, revenue-generating company increasingly run by a governed AI workforce—a marketing team, a support team, and a success team, all built as software and directed from a chat window while the founder sleeps.

This isn't theory, and it isn't hype. It's a working field guide and a live case study—hand-drawn and plain-spoken—that shows the exact architecture behind a company that markets, sells, supports, and improves on its own, and gets measurably smarter every night.

You'll learn how to:


  • Stop operating software and start directing it—the shift from tools to teammates.
  • Build the one asset that compounds: a shared "brain" your AI never forgets.
  • Draw an org chart of agents—managers, specialists, and validators that scale output without scaling headcount.
  • Keep AI aggressive and safe at the same time with an autonomy ladder, a confidence gate, and a kill switch.
  • Run the whole thing affordably by routing every task to the cheapest model that can do it well.
  • Turn one painful workflow into your first agent—with a concrete 90-day plan you can start Monday.

The winners of the AI era won't be the companies with the biggest model. They'll be the incumbents who move first—the operators who own the data, the workflow, and the customer trust, and wrap a workforce around them before the competitor down the street does.

If you run a business, lead a team, or simply want to understand where software is heading, this is the playbook for the agentic era.

Start with one workflow. Earn trust one rung at a time. Let the loop compound.

Includes original hand-drawn diagrams and a step-by-step blueprint.

Cookie-Led Growth: Find Your Cookie

      Book Title on Black Cover with a simple drawing of cookies in a box

 


You can't out-spend the funded. So out-create them.

Every growth guide is written by someone who had a war chest. Burn millions on ads, buy a growth team, brute-force your way to scale. That's not a playbook — that's a budget. And if you're bootstrapped, it'll bury you.

Cookie-Led Growth (CLG) is the opposite. It's the discipline of finding your cookie: one weird, creative, relationship-driven growth mechanism that lands your best customers at a fraction of the cost of paid ads — and compounds. Named as a deliberate riff on Product-Led Growth, CLG is what you do when you can't buy growth and have to engineer it instead.

Justin Smith bootstrapped Contractor+ into a fast-growing software company with zero venture capital. In this book he opens the kimono — real plays, real numbers, no theory:

    • The cookie box: how a Crumbl-style box of fresh-baked cookies, hand-delivered to the right doors, out-converts a $750 cold click.
    • The directory hack that landed the first 1,000 users with one gloriously sneaky trick.
    • Mobile-led growth: turning $3.60 installs into a ~$120 effective CAC — and the retention trap nobody warns you about.
    • The four numbers (CAC, ACV, tenure, LTV) that decide whether a channel lives or dies — with the exact math on the page.
    • How to build a growth machine — routing, payroll, an ambassador app — in an afternoon, with AI.
    • The viral flywheel that makes your biggest customers recruit your smallest ones.

    This isn't a mindset book. It's a field manual — hand-drawn diagrams, honest unit economics, and a dozen concentrated experiments you can run this week, from bootstrapped all the way to the exit.

    Stop copying the funded playbook. Go find your cookie.

    The Perpetual Raise:

       Book Title on Black Background with Golf image


    The Perpetual Raise:

    A Crowdfunding Strategy for Founders, Operators, and Investors Who Care About the Payday


    Everyone celebrates the raise. Almost nobody asks the only question that matters.

    Did the capital create real enterprise value — or did the round just create a higher number on paper?

    The startup world worships the mega-round: raise as much as you can, as early as you can, at the highest valuation, from the biggest names. The Perpetual Raise is the opposite discipline — a capital operating system for founders who want to keep control and actually reward the people who backed them.

    The sequence is simple and ruthless: Raise. Deploy. Prove. Report. Reprice. Repeat. Exit. Raise the smallest meaningful amount that funds the next milestone. Deploy it fast into the highest-confidence use. Prove the result. Then — and only then — reopen at better terms.

    Justin Smith built Contractor+ on under $750,000 raised from the crowd and zero venture capital. In this book he shows founders, operators, and everyday investors how the new rules of capital actually work:

      • The real legal lanes — Reg CF, Reg A, and Reg D 506(c) — explained at a strategy level, without the legalese.

      • Raise-to-deploy vs. raise-to-survive: the moral line most founders blur — and how to write a use-of-proceeds you can be graded on.

      • The Iceberg of Capital Cost — the platform fee you see, and the interest, dilution, investor-acquisition cost, and control you don't.

      • Eleven real crowdfunding case studies — RAD Intel, Legion M, RISE Robotics, Miso, Gumroad, Monogram (crowd → Nasdaq → acquisition), Boxabl, Knightscope, Arrive AI, BackerKit, Solectrac — the wins, the warnings, and the line between a markup and a payday.

      • The Investor-Whole Doctrine: customers first, investors second, founders last — and why that order is a point of pride.

      • The Milestone Stack and a five-year architecture for building a company an acquirer actually wants.

      This isn't hype. It's a field manual — hand-drawn diagrams, honest numbers, and a doctrine you can run this quarter.

      Investors don't get paid from screenshots. They get paid from cash. Go earn your next round.

      Impossible to Say No

          Book Title on Black Background with Bell


       

      Impossible to Say No: The Integration-Led Growth Playbook — Turn Partners Into Your Cheapest, Stickiest Growth Channel


      Everyone thinks an integration means instant traffic. It doesn't.

      You ship the integration, post the announcement, and wait for the flood of users. Nothing comes. Then a newer app pushes your listing down the partner's directory and even the trickle dries up.

      Here's the truth almost nobody operationalizes: an integration isn't a feature you ship — it's a channel you operate. Run it right and it's the cheapest, stickiest growth channel you have. Customers who connect your product to their other tools churn dramatically less, and every integration a customer adopts is another root a competitor has to rip out.

      Impossible to Say No is the execution manual for Integration-Led Growth (ILG) — written from the chair of the smaller vendor who thinks it's presumptuous to ask a bigger platform to promote them. (It isn't. You just have to do the homework.) Inside:

      • Be impossible to integrate with — an API, docs, and an MCP server so partners (and AI agents) can plug in without a meeting.
      • The Silver Platter — the full co-marketing enablement kit you hand your partner (positioning, co-branded landers, ads, demos, KB + support, offers, press, email, cinematic + UGC video) — and how to build it with AI in about an hour.
      • The Grand-Slam Partner Offer — two offers (their customers and the partner) engineered to be impossible to refuse.
      • Pick the right partners with a triage matrix, sell the champion inside the partner, and give first.
      • Co-marketing that lasts — launch and evergreen; the mutual Slack "war room"; measuring integration-sourced revenue; and reviving dead integrations that quietly stopped sending traffic.

      Part strategy, part field manual, part wake-up call — for founders, PLG operators, and partnership leaders who want the cheapest leads and the stickiest customers they'll ever get.

      Stop shipping integrations and hoping. Start running the channel.
