Explora Books to Showcase Wandering Lonely as a Cloud at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair
Explora Books will feature Wandering Lonely as a Cloud: A Lifetime Journey Across Oceans, Eras, and Cultures, a memoir by Dr. Charles Qianzhi Wu, at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair (BIBF), held from June 17–21 at the China National Convention Center (CNCC) in Beijing.
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 2nd Jun 2026 – Born in 1935 in Shanghai, Dr. Wu was raised among classical Chinese learning, calligraphy, and Tang poetry. He later built a distinguished academic and cultural career in the United States, including a long association with the Portland Classical Chinese Garden as a cultural advisor and board member. The memoir’s title, inspired by Wordsworth’s poem, reflects a life spent between cultures, carrying memory, identity, and meaning.

Dr. Wu’s early life was shaped by a scholarly household spanning generations of intellectual tradition across China’s Jiangnan region. His upbringing was influenced by classical education and a strong cultural foundation rooted in literature and philosophy.
In adulthood, he continued this trajectory abroad, developing a career that bridged Chinese and Western intellectual traditions. His work in the United States included academic engagement and cultural stewardship, most notably through his role at the Portland Classical Chinese Garden.
Wandering Lonely as a Cloud is at once a family saga, a cultural history, and a meditation on inheritance and identity. Dr. Wu’s narrative is populated with vivid portraits—including a scholar-grandfather whose library concealed Sherlock Holmes behind a sliding door, a mother from Suzhou who embodied frugality and Buddhist virtue, and a father who completed university studies in accelerated time while embracing Western liberal arts education.
Against the backdrop of twentieth-century China—war, revolution, migration, and transformation—Dr. Wu traces not only a single life, but the evolution of a broader cultural experience across generations.
Scholarly yet accessible and grounded in both Chinese literary tradition and Western intellectual thought, the memoir explores themes of diaspora, memory, and identity. It offers a reflective account for readers interested in the intersection of Eastern and Western cultural histories and lived experience.
Attendees of the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair will have the opportunity to explore this cross-cultural account at the Explora Books’s exhibition booth 5A.B14.
Wandering Lonely as a Cloud is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Otterly Spotless Brings Professional Cleaning Services to Suwanee and North Atlanta
Suwanee, GA, United States, 2nd Jun 2026 — Homeowners and businesses across Suwanee and the greater North Atlanta area have a new option for keeping their spaces clean. Otterly Spotless Cleaning And Maid Services has officially opened, offering residential and commercial cleaning built around reliability, flexible scheduling, and a team that actually shows up when it says it will.
The company launches at a time when many local families are stretched thin. Between work, kids, and everything else competing for a weekend, deep cleaning the house tends to be the thing that slips. Otterly Spotless was built to take that off people’s plates without the usual headaches of finding someone trustworthy.
“We kept hearing the same frustrations from people in the area,” a company representative said. “They’d booked cleaners before who canceled last minute, did a rushed job, or were impossible to get back on the phone. We wanted to be the opposite of that — easy to book, consistent, and genuinely thorough.”
The Suwanee location handles a full range of services: recurring house cleaning on weekly, biweekly, or monthly schedules, one-time deep cleans, move-in and move-out cleaning, and commercial work for offices and small businesses. Customers can book online in a couple of minutes or reach the team directly by phone, and the company offers upfront pricing so there are no surprises after the work is done.
What sets the business apart, according to the team, is less about any single service and more about how it operates day to day. Cleaners are vetted and background-checked, jobs are quoted clearly before anyone starts, and the company stands behind its work if something isn’t right. It’s a straightforward promise, but one the team says is harder to find than it should be.
The launch in Suwanee is the first step in a wider rollout. Otterly Spotless plans to expand across North Atlanta and into additional markets throughout the Southeast, building on a model that prioritizes local responsiveness over the impersonal feel of larger national chains. Starting in a community like Suwanee, the team says, lets them get the details right before scaling.
For now, the focus is on earning trust one home and one office at a time. Residents in Suwanee and surrounding neighborhoods can schedule their first cleaning today, whether that’s a regular service to stay on top of things or a single deep clean to reset after a busy season.
Otterly Spotless is currently accepting new residential and commercial clients throughout the Suwanee and North Atlanta area. Appointments can be booked online or by phone.

Explora Books to Showcase Bruce K. Royer’s Supernatural Drama Two Connected Souls at the 2026 BIBF
Explora Books will showcase the second edition of Two Connected Souls by Bruce K. Royer at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair (BIBF), held June 17–21 at the China National Convention Center (CNCC) in Beijing. Blending family drama with supernatural suspense, the novel explores the boundaries between human connection, mortality, and the unseen forces that shape perception and belief.
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 2nd Jun 2026 – Two Connected Souls follows Derrick Sullivan, a devoted husband and father who survives a devastating car accident only to find his consciousness suspended in a quiet, light-filled interim realm. Guided by a mysterious robed figure, he comes to understand that his bond with his eight-year-old son, Ricky, extends beyond physical existence. When a malevolent entity enters the physical world and threatens Ricky’s soul, Derrick is forced to confront the limits of love, faith, and human agency in his effort to protect his family.

Set between hospital reality and an otherworldly dimension, the novel traces Derrick’s experience of separation, uncertainty, and spiritual disorientation. His relationship with his wife, Susan, and his son anchors the narrative, while shifting between grief, fear, and fragile hope. Rather than separating the human and supernatural elements, the story interweaves them to examine how individuals process crisis, identity, and emotional endurance under extreme conditions.
The novel’s emotional perspective is shaped by Royer’s own lived experience. Becoming a father at forty-four deeply influenced his understanding of responsibility and attachment. The loss of his younger brother during hospice care in 2010 further informed his reflections on grief and mortality. These experiences ultimately led him to explore how meaning is formed in moments of uncertainty and emotional rupture.
Shortly after his brother’s passing, Royer experienced a moment of unexpected comfort while watching his infant son through a baby monitor, prompting deeper reflection on memory, faith, and the possibility of connection beyond physical life. Drawing from these personal events, he wrote Two Connected Souls as an exploration of grief, family bonds, and the ways people seek meaning in the face of loss and change.
Attendees at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair are invited to view this supernatural drama at Explora Books’s exhibition booth 5A.B14 at CNCC in Beijing.
Two Connected Souls is available on Amazon and other major digital bookstores.

Explora Books Features ‘Glimpses Into Other Worlds’ at the BIBF 2026
Explora Books will feature Glimpses Into Other Worlds by Kristy Shanahan at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair (BIBF), held from June 17–21 at the China National Convention Center (CNCC) in Beijing. Previously showcased at the London Book Fair and now developed into a screenplay, the nonfiction title brings a researched and exploratory perspective to the fair’s international literary exhibition.
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 2nd Jun 2026 – At its core, Glimpses Into Other Worlds asks how people across history have attempted to explain encounters and phenomena they could not fully understand. To explore this question, Shanahan draws on mythology, historical records, military documentation, religious traditions, and scientific theory while organizing the book into three interconnected areas of inquiry.

The first section, “Outer Space (The Heavens),” surveys accounts of heavenly visitors found in oral traditions, cave carvings, religious texts, myths, and legends from cultures around the world. The section moves from biblical figures such as Enoch and Elijah to Mesopotamian references to the Anunnaki before turning to modern cases, including the 1947 Roswell incident and recent government disclosures concerning unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). Visually supported by images from NASA and other space agencies, the section examines how stories of unexplained aerial encounters have persisted across centuries and civilizations.
The second section, “Ultraterrestrials and Other Dimensions,” shifts from outer space to questions surrounding alternate realms and multidimensional existence. Drawing from both ancient traditions and contemporary reports, Shanahan examines accounts of individuals who describe encounters with other dimensions alongside scientific discussions involving physics, cosmology, and quantum theory. The section considers how different cultures and disciplines have approached the idea of realities existing beyond ordinary perception.
The final section, “The Inner Dimension,” focuses on consciousness, spirituality, and human perception. It explores subjects ranging from prophetic traditions and remote viewing to Hindu philosophy and classical metaphysics while also examining modern discussions surrounding consciousness and the nature of the mind. Rather than presenting definitive conclusions, the section investigates how spiritual inquiry and scientific exploration have both attempted to address questions about human awareness and humanity’s relationship to the wider universe.
Taken together, the book approaches mythology, science, spirituality, and historical testimony through an interdisciplinary lens, encouraging readers to consider how different societies and fields of study have interpreted the unknown across time.
Kristy Shanahan is a recently retired medical laboratory scientist and educator in biomedical and biological sciences. She holds degrees from the University of Wisconsin, Johns Hopkins University, and Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, where she continues to serve as an adjunct faculty member. Her scientific background and longtime work in education inform the book’s research-driven approach to historical, cultural, and speculative inquiry. She lives in northern Illinois with her family and her golden retriever, Rosie.
Attendees at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair are invited to view the book at Explora Books’s exhibition booth 5A.B14 at CNCC in Beijing.
Glimpses Into Other Worlds is available on Amazon and other major digital bookstores.
