In January 2005, Oxccidus published A Gift of Healing in a Handbook , an inspirational non-fiction book by Penney Leyshon and Kathleen Spellman.

The Rebellious Wedding, another collaborative work by Leyshon and Spellman, will be in print later in 2006.

Oxccidus is in the final stages of designing its Young Author Program. Selected writers 7 through 13 years of age will have their stories published in a series of compiled works.
