PORTLAND, OR (November 17, 2020) –  PayRange announced it ranked 83 on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy tech companies in North America now in its 26th year. PayRange grew 1,325% during the previous 3-year period.

PayRange’s Chief Executive Officer, Paresh Patel, credits the revenue growth to its passionate team that develops and markets innovative payment technology to an industry ripe for innovation. He said, “The automated retail industry, characterized by small ticket payments made traditionally with cash and coin, had been largely left behind by incumbent cashless payment providers. Recognizing the opportunity and leveraging our industry experience, we invented mobile payment technology designed specifically for this market that not only brought touchless payments to these machines, but also elevated the overall experience. We’re thankful to our customers for deploying our solution which is at the forefront of transforming an industry that has otherwise seen little payment innovation in over 50 years.”

“For more than 25 years, we’ve been honoring companies that define the cutting edge and this year’s Technology Fast 500 list is proof positive that technology — from software and digital media platforms, to biotech — truly does permeate so many facets of our lives,” said Paul Silverglate, Vice Chairman, Deloitte LLP and U.S. technology sector leader. “We congratulate this year’s winners, especially during a time when innovation is needed more than ever to address the monumental challenges posed by the pandemic.”

New Children’s Book Helps Young Readers Fall in Love with the Alphabet

Published

on

Jessie E. Walcott introduces a fun and educational alphabet journey designed to support early parent-child learning.

Washington, DC, Washington, United States, 9th Feb 2026 – Jessie E. Walcott is excited to announce the release of NevandRe and the Alphabet (ABC), a new Children’s Books title now available on Amazon. Created for children ages 3 to 7, this book offers a fun and thoughtful way for young readers to explore the alphabet while building strong early reading skills.

Designed with both learning and enjoyment in mind, NevandRe and the Alphabet (ABC) introduces each letter with simple words, short sentences, and playful examples. From “A for Ant” to “Z for Zorse,” the book helps children grow their vocabulary while keeping reading enjoyable and easy to follow. This Children’s Books release supports early learning in a way that feels natural, not forced.

About the Book

NevandRe and the Alphabet (ABC) takes young readers on a friendly journey through all 26 letters of the alphabet. Each page is made to help children recognize letters, understand sounds, and connect words to meaning. The book focuses on helping children listen, speak, read, and begin writing, four important skills in early childhood learning.

Unlike many Children’s Books that focus only on letter recognition, this book encourages children to think about words and how they are used in simple stories. The approach helps children move beyond memorizing letters and toward understanding language. Parents and guardians can easily read along, making this book a helpful tool for shared learning during both day and nighttime reading.

Why This Book Matters

Early literacy plays a big role in a child’s confidence and future learning. NevandRe and the Alphabet (ABC) was created to help children build a strong base at an early age. The book supports both active and passive vocabulary, helping children understand words they hear and words they begin to use on their own.

This Children’s Books title also helps strengthen the bond between parents or guardians and children. The short stories and simple structure make it easy to read together, ask questions, and talk about new words. Educators will also find the book useful as a classroom or learning support tool.

Author’s Story and Inspiration

Jessie E. Walcott is an educator and teacher with a strong passion for learning and reading. Her journey with literacy was not always easy. As a child, she struggled with reading and writing and was a slow learner in school. Over time, she realized that learning begins with understanding small words before moving on to bigger ones.

By breaking words into sounds and syllables, she was able to grow academically and gain confidence. This personal experience shaped her desire to create a Children’s Books title that supports children who may need extra encouragement in learning to read. Her goal is to help at least one child begin a lifelong love for learning, knowing that child may then inspire many others.

Purpose of the Book

The purpose of NevandRe and the Alphabet (ABC) is simple and powerful. Jessie E. Walcott wanted to share her knowledge in a way that helps children become literate early in life. She also wanted parents and guardians to feel included in the learning process.

Many alphabet books are created for very limited age groups. This Children’s Books release was written to bridge that gap by gently challenging young minds while still keeping the content clear and friendly. The lessons in this book are meant to last and be passed on for generations.

Availability and Purchase Information

NevandRe and the Alphabet (ABC) is available now on Amazon.

New YA Adventure Novel Brings Real Antarctic Science—and Survival—to Young Readers

Published

on

Century House Publications launches Adventure: Antarctica!, a grounded coming-of-age story that blends real research with high-stakes survival on the Ice.

Seattle, Washington, United States, 9th Feb 2026 – Educator and author Jeff Hendricks is pleased to announce the release of Adventure: Antarctica!, a gripping new Young Adult Adventure novel now available on Amazon. Blending real-world Antarctic science with an emotionally driven survival story, the novel places readers in one of the most extreme environments on Earth and asks what it truly takes to grow up when everything goes wrong.

The story follows Danny Gage, a hesitant but determined high school senior who never planned on traveling to Antarctica. When he joins a science research team as an intern, what begins as an unexpected opportunity quickly becomes a life-changing test. Working alongside fellow intern Yura Tanaka and biochemistry graduate student Tatyana Tarasova, Danny embarks on a field expedition that turns dangerous when a routine research trip escalates into a fight for survival.

Set against the harsh and unforgiving Antarctic landscape, Adventure: Antarctica! explores themes of teamwork, responsibility, and courage. As Danny faces physical danger and personal doubt, the frozen continent becomes more than a backdrop—it shapes every decision the characters must make.

Real Science, Real Challenges

A defining feature of Adventure: Antarctica! is its commitment to scientific accuracy. The novel portrays authentic field research, showing how teams collect data, protect fragile environments, and confront real-world issues such as climate change. Rather than relying on fantasy elements, the story highlights the true challenges faced by researchers working at the bottom of the world.

This grounded approach invites readers to appreciate both the excitement of exploration and the importance of scientific work. The result is a fast-paced adventure that also offers meaningful insight into how science is practiced in extreme conditions.

Themes of Growth and Discovery

Beyond the action, Adventure: Antarctica! delivers emotional depth through Danny’s personal journey. His uncertainty, fear, and determination reflect the real struggles many teens face as they search for direction and confidence. Moments of reflection balance the novel’s tension, showing how growth often happens far from comfort and familiarity.

The story also captures the wonder of scientific discovery. Each stage of the expedition introduces readers to the tools, questions, and problem-solving skills used by real research teams. This makes the novel a strong example of STEM-focused fiction, appealing to general readers as well as educators, librarians, and parents seeking stories that inspire curiosity.

About the Author

Jeff Hendricks is an educator, instructional designer, and author with degrees in Geological Sciences and Science Education. He has spent years creating learning experiences that connect science with storytelling, helping students understand how scientific research works in real life.

His background brings authenticity and clarity to Adventure: Antarctica!, ensuring the science is accurate while the narrative remains accessible and engaging. His passion for the Young Adult Adventure genre is evident in the novel’s pacing, character development, and attention to detail.

Hendricks describes his inspiration for the book:

“I wrote Adventure: Antarctica! to show that science isn’t just about facts—it’s about courage, curiosity, and discovery. Antarctica felt like the perfect place to explore that truth.”

High-Stakes Survival and Environmental Awareness

As the expedition unfolds, Danny and his team must rely on their training, equipment, and growing trust in one another to survive a powerful storm far from help. These moments of danger sharpen the novel’s pace while reinforcing themes of environmental responsibility and resilience.

Through survival and sacrifice, Danny begins to understand who he is becoming. This balance of action and meaning makes Adventure: Antarctica! a compelling addition to the Young Adult Adventure genre.

Adventure: Antarctica! is available now on Amazon in the following formats:
 • eBook
 • Paperback
 • Hardcover
