Book Description
Most people want to work at home, do something they enjoy, yet still make enough money to live a comfortable lifestyle. Working for other people has become less practical, as traditional jobs are paying less and offering reduced incomes, benefits, flexibility and retirement. Anyone can start a costume character business and become successful. It's fun and creative and can become profitable quickly. Start-up costs are low, and you have the flexibility to set your own hours and make your own decisions. Being your own boss is the true American Dream. Why not dream it for yourself?

Book Description
"In the Land of the Dinosaurs: The Mammoth's Halloween Costume" is a fun book for kids that takes place in a world full of huge mountains and old forests. Max is a young, curious giant with a heart exactly the size of his body. The story follows him as he goes on an amazing Halloween journey. Max's loving parents, Manny and Martha, live in a beautiful cave between two huge rocks. With Halloween coming up, Max becomes more interested in the parties and celebrations going on all around him in the dinosaur world. Oscar the pterodactyl and Tina the triceratops tell him about fun costumes, pumpkin lanterns, and tasty treats. Max, who is excited and interested, asks to spend Halloween with his folks. Even though mammoths don't celebrate Halloween, Manny and Martha look at each other with a sly grin and decide to get Max involved. Max then says that he wants to dress up as a scary dinosaur for Halloween, drawing ideas from the animals that like to hang out where he is. Because they love and support him no matter what, Max's folks decide to help him make the dinosaur costume of his dreams. To make the scales on his back and tail, they get vines, twigs, and leaves from the bush. Max is so excited as they work on the outfit together that he can't hold it in. He can't wait to put it on and feel like a real dinosaur. Max gets his finished outfit on Halloween. His parents make a few small changes, and then he is ready to go trick-or-treating with his friends Tina and Oscar. As they leave on their Halloween adventure, they are shocked by the decorations and pumpkin lanterns that have been set up around the old forest. Creatures dressed up in scary costumes are making everyone laugh. After some time, the three of them reach an open area with a Halloween costume contest. Max, Tina, and Oscar are excited to take part, and the judges give them prizes for their creative outfits. Max is thrilled to have won the prize for the scariest outfit. As the night goes on, Max and his friends enjoy Halloween in ways they never thought possible. They play games, dance, and eat a huge meal. As the night comes to a close, Max goes back to his cozy cave, takes off his dinosaur costume, and thinks about what a great Halloween trip it was. Max loves his family and friends very much because they helped him reach his goal and showed him that with their help, anything is possible, even a baby giant dressed as a dinosaur for Halloween. The story shows how important friendship, dreams, and all the wonderful things in the world are. This is how the story starts: Max was a baby mammoth that lived in a world full of old woods and high peaks a long time ago. This friendly and curious giant had a huge heart, and his kindness was just as big as his size. His cave was safe because it was tucked between two huge, solid rocks. It was always a treat and an honor to be Max. He would go into the vast desert every day at dawn because he was very curious and wanted to see everything there was to see. With every step he took on the beautiful ground, his huge body left a mark on this old area. Max wasn't the only one in the middle of this magical land. His parents, Manny and Martha, are very careful, so they made his basement home a close-knit family. They worked together to make a safe place where they could live through the hard times of ancient times—a warm and loving place in the middle of a harsh environment. Max could feel the excitement building in the air as the seasons changed and the land went through its normal changes. He became interested in the idea of a party. On its way, Halloween, a one-of-a-kind event, was coming up. Max was interested because his friends and people on the air had been talking about this wonderful event. He had never been to a Halloween party or done anything scary on Halloween before. Max was interested in the accounts of beautiful costumes, glowing pumpkin lanterns, and tasty snacks that filled the room. Max was getting more and more excited about Halloween every day. His friends, Oscar the pterodactyl and Tina the triceratops, told him about the things they did on Halloween. Max was mesmerized by their creative descriptions, which made him think of magical parties and magical disguises. Max chose to make the most of the nice afternoon. He went to his parents, Manny and Martha, with a strong will and told them the truth. Max said, "Mom and Dad, I want to celebrate Halloween this year. I want to dress up and have fun with my friends." Manny and Martha smiled along with Max because they could see how happy he was. He asked in a somber voice, "Halloween, you say?" "It is not a custom amongst mammoths, but if it stirs your heart, dear Max, we shall stand by you." Martha agreed and nodded, her eyes shining with love. Max's mind was racing as he imagined his dream costume. "We will help you make a wonderful costume, my child. Tell me, what does your heart desire?" "I just picture myself as a mean dinosaur!" he cried with joy. He was thrilled at the thought of spending the night as one of the beautiful animals he had seen for a long time wandering their ancestral lands. Max's folks were happy and supportive of his choice. They set out to make the best outfit possible. They worked very hard to make scales for his back and tail by weaving together leaves, twigs, and plants from the lush forest.

Book Description
If you are not waking up every day in love with your life, it is time to make a change. If you are not in love with the person you are with, if you are not in love with your job, if you are not in love with the station you inhabit, you must realize that you are staying out of fear. A fear of the unknown. You probably think these things are your safety net, but they are not. They are your leash. The leash that is holding you back from your happiness and truly experiencing life. It would be the words that my younger brother shared with me, "Great! You lost your job, now find your life," on the day I was terminated from my job that would inspire me to write this book. I wanted to keep a journal of my thoughts, experiences, and ideas every day until I was employed again. One day turned into a week, a week turned into a month, and a month would eventually turn into a year. It would be that year that would change my life forever. I was forced to face the reality of who I had become. I was able to manage to become a somewhat-successful person in life without becoming a complete person. Without truly knowing myself. My hope is that this book lands in your hands when you need it most. I think our priorities are all wrong. We are chasing wealth and material things, thinking those are what will give us a fulfilling existence. We are wrong, and it is time for each of us to find our life. Lloyd Hopkins
