The book that opens the Circuitous Path series — available in hardcover, paperback, and for Kindle.
They met at a class called "How to Flirt." She ordered iced tea. He ordered milk — in a Texas saloon. Right then, Kimberley knew she'd found someone different.
What followed was a thirty-six-year love story and an entrepreneurial adventure that neither could have scripted.
Kimberley was a military daughter who dealt blackjack at Harrah's and earned her business degree at forty. Stephen was a self-taught inventor who climbed from telephone installer to international executive — then lost it all to a corporate layoff three weeks before receiving his master's degree.
Facing an uncertain future, they remembered a simple idea born while watching fireflies over their Texas ranch: What if we could capture that magic?
From their living room, armed with a soldering iron and relentless curiosity, they built Firefly Magic — a business that would appear on HGTV, fool scientists, and even land in the hands of Bill Gates during a TED talk.
The Circuitous Path: Through Entrepreneurship is part love story, part business memoir, and part proof that life's most beautiful destinations are rarely reached by straight lines. For dreamers, doers, and anyone who's ever wondered what if — this is your invitation to chase the light.
But this book is more than a memoir — it's a guide. Woven throughout their story are hard-won lessons on bootstrapping a business without venture capital, writing patents at the kitchen table, finding manufacturers, and protecting intellectual property.
This isn't business theory from a classroom — it's wisdom earned through decades of curiosity, resilience, and partnership. For aspiring entrepreneurs, it's both a roadmap and a reminder: the most rewarding journeys rarely follow a straight line.
The class Kimberley and Stephen Taylor taught together, now in book form — with companion worksheets for readers.
Class is not about knowing which fork to use. It is about being the kind of person others are glad to be in the room with.
For years Kimberley and Stephen Taylor taught a class called How to Be Classy, In Spite of Yourself — in continuing education centers, corporate conference rooms, hotel ballrooms, and nonprofit organizations. Those who attended were not told what they were doing wrong. They learned how it's often the small things — compounded over a career and a lifetime — that truly make the difference in so many extraordinary ways.
Kimberley was the finest teacher of these principles Stephen had ever seen — not because she had studied them, but because she lived them, every day, in every detail, with every person she encountered.
The book is organized around three dimensions of every human encounter: Appearance, Communication, and Behavior. Each section moves from principle to practice, with self-assessment pages throughout.
Etiquette defines rules. How to Be Classy defines values — those qualities that can bring confidence, happiness, and more joy to life.
Two titles scheduled from the Circuitous Path series.
How independent entrepreneurs can harness artificial intelligence without surrendering what makes them independent — practical, grounded, and written for people actually running businesses rather than writing about them.
Warning — this is not your mother's etiquette book. Not about which fork to use or wearing white after Labor Day. It is about something older, warmer, and far more powerful: how to make people feel truly comfortable in your presence.
A four-volume series of rigorous genealogical scholarship by Donald Taylor, drawing on the archives of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and the General Society of Mayflower Descendants. Published by University Extension Press because careful ancestral scholarship deserves a careful publisher.
A detailed genealogical study of the descendants of Philip Logee, who was living in Salem, Massachusetts by 1668 and married Mary Snasher in 1673. Ancestors, descendants, and relatives lived mainly in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.
This genealogical reference work details the descendants of Philander Mead, born about 1790 of New York or Vermont; the descendants of Edward Owens, born about 1780 in Ireland, and his son Thomas, born about 1810, who moved to Maine around 1829; and the ancestors of Thomas's wife, Abigail Tarr, who was born 16 April 1816 in Maine.
A genealogical reference work for the Webber and Holland families and their related lines. Drawing on research from the New England Historic Genealogical Society and the General Society of Mayflower Descendants, the author highlights key facts and cites those works for deeper study — and then expands beyond the early ancestors, tracing the family lines forward through subsequent generations to the present. For relatives descended from the Webber and Holland lines, an invaluable link between past and present family relationships.
The keystone volume of the series — a detailed family history of Vernet Moore "Dick" Taylor and Ruth Anita Logee, whose two family lines anchor much of University Extension Press's genealogical catalog. The Taylor line and the Logee line (explored at length in Volume I) converge in this biographical and genealogical study, which ties the earlier volumes of the series into a single family narrative.
