About PK Publishing
PK Publishing is an independent publisher. We make books for kids and teens, dark fantasy romance for adult readers, and short, practical PDF guides: home repair in the Fix-It Playbook, AI prompt playbooks for small businesses, and study guides for cardiac nurses. We also build small browser apps, described below.
Perry Kendrick
Perry Kendrick is the author and publisher behind every title. He is a Navy veteran and a father, with undergraduate degrees in psychology and sociology from the University of Nebraska Omaha and a master's in organizational leadership from the University of Denver. He has published 12 books, including The Coley Kids series, and writes adult dark fantasy under the pen name Lord P. He grew up in Omaha, Nebraska, and has lived in cold-weather places including Iowa, Illinois, Washington and Colorado, which is where the frozen-pipe and winter-home advice in the Fix-It Playbook comes from.
How we write the guides
Fix-It Playbook guides are written to answer the question a homeowner is actually asking: what is wrong, what to try first, what it costs, and when to stop and call a professional. They are not a substitute for a licensed contractor, electrician or plumber, and every guide says so. Each article shows the date it was last updated. If you find a mistake, write to us and we will correct it.
The guides are written by Perry Kendrick with AI assistance, and we say so on every article. Safety claims and key figures are checked against outside sources, such as government agencies, safety organizations and university extension programs. Where outside sources exist, they are listed at the bottom of the guide.
The Cardiac Nurse Playbooks are built with input from a working cardiac nurse. They are study aids, not clinical protocols, and do not replace your hospital's policies or a clinician's judgment.
The apps
Alongside the books and guides, PK Publishing makes a few small apps that open in a browser tab, each built to do one job. There are no accounts, nothing to install, and they keep working offline. What you enter stays on your own device (see our Privacy Policy).
- RenovaTrack: renovation budget, contractor quotes and milestones, with a forecast of your final cost. 14-day free trial, then a one-time purchase.
- HomeFix Calendar: a seasonal home-maintenance schedule built from six questions about your house. Free, with a one-time Pro upgrade.
- ADHD Audio Engine: brown noise, binaural beats and a rhythmic pulse around an adaptive focus timer. Free.
- UnstickMe: a 60-second micro-action, a spoken prompt and a countdown for the moment you can't start. Free to try, then a one-time purchase.
- AppDeadline: a college application planner that tracks schools, deadlines, essays and recommendation letters in one countdown view. One-time purchase.
The focus apps are not a treatment for ADHD and are not medical advice. All apps are at pkpublishing.com/tools.
