MORGANTOWN, W.Va.

Author Amanda R. Potts is preparing to introduce young readers and families to Ray’s Summer at SandPlant, a joyful children’s book inspired by treasured summers spent camping, swimming, exploring, and making memories with loved ones.

The story follows Ray, a cheerful young girl who travels with her parents, her older sisters Dawn and Rose, and their loyal dog, Toto, to SandPlant, a place the family visits every summer. From the moment they arrive, Ray eagerly looks forward to swimming, sliding down the waterfalls, playing Marco Polo with her cousins, building sandcastles, enjoying ice cream, roasting marshmallows, and falling asleep beneath the stars.

Although the adventure is filled with fun, Ray also learns to be careful and responsible. She listens to warnings about slippery rocks, remains in shallow water when she feels unsure, watches for snakes near the swimming areas, washes her hands before meals, and follows her parents’ guidance throughout the day. These gentle lessons are woven naturally into a story centered on family connection, outdoor play, safety, and childhood confidence.

For Amanda, the book carries deeply personal meaning. SandPlant was an important summer destination for her and her sisters, and the memories they created there remained with her long after the location closed to the public. By transforming those experiences into a children’s story, Amanda hopes to preserve the happiness of those summers while encouraging other families to appreciate the simple moments they share together.

Ray’s Summer at SandPlant is intended for parents with young children and early readers who enjoy stories about family, camping, pets, nature, and summertime adventures. Its warm and relatable scenes invite children to think about their own favorite traditions and the people who make those memories special.

The forthcoming book will be released in e-book and paperback formats through Lumera Publishing. Additional publication and purchasing information will be announced closer to its official launch.

SAN RAFAEL, California

California contractors can create more opportunities to reach local customers by making their websites, Google profiles and business information easier to find and understand online.

Mount Tam Marketing, a San Rafael-based marketing company, provides straightforward, fixed-price services designed for roofing companies, plumbers, electricians, landscapers, general contractors and other trade businesses.

The company helps contractors strengthen how they appear across Google, local directories and AI-powered search tools without requiring expensive agency packages, monthly retainers or long-term contracts.

“Many contractors already have the experience, reputation and customer reviews needed to grow,” said a Mount Tam Marketing spokesperson. “Our goal is to help make sure potential customers can clearly find their business, understand what they offer and contact them for an estimate.”

Mount Tam Marketing reviews contractor websites and online listings to identify practical opportunities such as:

• Clearly explaining services and service areas
• Improving contact forms and estimate-request options
• Correcting inconsistent phone numbers or business information
• Strengthening Google Business Profiles
• Creating direct Google review links and QR codes
• Adding useful local business listings
• Identifying credible backlink opportunities

The company’s Website Search Check reviews how effectively a contractor’s website communicates its services, locations and contact information. Contractors receive a practical list of recommended improvements that they can complete themselves or share with their website provider.

Mount Tam Marketing also offers press release writing and distribution for contractors announcing new services, completed projects, company milestones, certifications, expanded service areas or community involvement.

The company was created to give local businesses access to professional marketing support at a reasonable price.

Author Richard B. Alman Releases North American Unity Plan (NAUP): A Blueprint for Continental Integration and Security

New book outlines a bold strategy combining joint-ownership Free Trade Zones, tariff stabilization, and geostrategic defense across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

Strategist and author Richard B. Alman has officially released his new book, North American Unity Plan (NAUP). The publication presents a transformative roadmap for deep economic, social, and industrial integration among the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Moving beyond traditional, fragile trade pacts, NAUP proposes a permanent structural partnership designed to stabilize North American markets, shield critical supply chains, and build a unified economic front.

“The North American Unity Plan is not merely another trade agreement—it is a vital structural evolution. By establishing shared ownership models and stabilizing border dynamics, NAUP delivers long-term economic security while safeguarding our continent’s future.”

— Author Richard B. Alman

Core Pillars of the Plan

• Economic Resilience: Replaces volatile tariffs and decaying trade dynamics with bilateral wins that stabilize regional markets and protect jobs across borders.
• Geostrategic Urgency: Serves as a crucial geopolitical bulwark against growing influence from global rivals like China and Russia, preventing foreign economic or military footholds in the Western Hemisphere.
• Social Cohesion: Brings high-quality industrial jobs directly to border regions, dignifying labor, keeping families united, and addressing the root causes of dangerous migration.
• Governmental Buy-In: Offers a high-impact legacy project for political stakeholders across upcoming administrations by delivering mutual fiscal gains and shared sovereignty.

Key Framework & Implementation

At the heart of Alman’s strategy is the establishment of cross-border Free Trade Zones (FTZs) across border states and provinces (e.g., New Hampshire/Quebec, North Dakota/Manitoba).

• Scale & Capacity: Development of 25–50 million sq. ft. sites equipped for industrial and manufacturing growth.
• Shared Ownership Model: A 50/50 split in ownership, revenue, and workforce between U.S. citizens and Canadian/Mexican citizens.
• Immediate Tariff Relief: Advance legal designation of properties to grant instant tariff exemptions upon lease execution, permanently de-escalating trade tensions.

Availability

North American Unity Plan (NAUP) by Richard B. Alman is available now through Amazon
