You can often earn a large number of points by downloading apps to your phone, or by running mobile TV spots, such as on Swagbucks and PerkTV. But maybe you don't want to tie up your phone or lose critical information. You can easily get a free phone to use with these sites and rack up gift card points faster than ever!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is how you can get a free Kyocera phone from Boost Mobile (until June 1, I believe). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nmyf4AR4-ho/U3uEwhgI7II/AAAAAAAAfeM/06BaT4Jo6rc/s1600/kyocera.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nmyf4AR4-ho/U3uEwhgI7II/AAAAAAAAfeM/06BaT4Jo6rc/s1600/kyocera.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I had to sign up for an Ebates account, because I didn't yet have one. If you don't already have one, <a href="http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=Dgc0uSAWRCbrj9w3itq8WQ%3D%3D" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">follow this link</a> and we will both get a bonus! When I signed up under my friend, I even got a $10 Target gift card! (Other choices were available.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Once your account is set up and your PayPal is connected (to get that cash back!), you are ready to shop! Do a search for Boost and Kyocera (which is the brand of phone). Look for the option that is a certified pre-owned Kyocera Hydro, formerly $34.99, now on sale for $17.49. It will also say $17.50 cash back! When I enter this search, it's the second option. Click on Shop Now.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You will be taken to the Boost Mobile site. The phone will come up with an instant savings, to be only $17.49. Click Add to Cart. When prompted, enter your zip code. There is no promo code - you are going to actually pay $17.49 and Ebates will reimburse you at their quarterly payout. You're just going to pay sales tax.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Fill out your payment and card information. If you want to pay extra for shipping for it to arrive sooner, go for it. I don't mind waiting three days for free shipping.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Read through the terms and conditions, but you won't be setting up an account when it arrives. You're just going to connect this phone to your WiFi to run apps.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Review your billing and shipping information and then click on Complete Purchase. Within a matter of moments, you should receive a confirmation email to go with the confirmation number you receive from Boost. You will also be able to see the $17.50 rebate as pending under My Ebates. It will also tell you when you can expect to see your payment hit PayPal.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Enjoy your phone! I will add more posts about things that you can do with your phone to earn more points soon!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Getting pregnant as a teenager and being coerced into giving her baby up for adoption left a festering scar on Jaymee Ballard’s life. Trapped by poverty and without many allies, Jaymee nearly gives up hope of getting her daughter back after her best friend is murdered. Now, four years later, a wealthy woman with legal connections hires her as a housekeeper, and Jaymee gathers the courage to seek her help. But Jaymee’s last chance ends up in a puddle of blood in one of the historic antebellum mansions in Roselea, Mississippi.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>I just murdered your wife…again</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An unsigned letter consisting of six horrifying words turns Nick Samuels stagnant life upside down. Stuck in emotional purgatory since his wife’s unsolved murder four years ago, Nick is about to self-destruct. The arrival of the letter claiming credit for his wife’s murder and boasting of a new kill sends Nick to Roselea, where he and Jaymee’s worlds collide.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jaymee and Nick realize exposing the truth about her daughter’s adoption is the only way to solve the murders. Up against years of deception, they rush to identify the killer before the evidence–and Jaymee’s daughter–are lost.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But the truth doesn’t always set the guilt-ridden free. Sometimes, it destroys them.</div>

When Justyn and Rebecca set off for the New York School of Performing Arts, they think their dreams are about to come true. To their dismay, they aren’t in high school anymore, and the competition is steep. Rebecca must compete against accomplished singers for a role in the production of Demon Barber, including a stunning Gothic diva with her sights set on Justyn.
<br />
<br />
It doesn't help that things keep disappearing from their apartment or that Rebecca's father refuses to accept that Justyn is an essential part of her life. Yet, all this seems minimal in comparison to the serial rapist terrorizing the campus.
<br />
<br />
Consumed by fear and obsessed with revenge, Rebecca and Justyn start living the story of Sweeney Todd—both on and off the stage.

In The Gatekeeper's Sons, Therese and Thanatos, the god of Death, met and fell in love. In The Gatekeeper's Challenge, they did everything they could to be together, even break an oath on the River Styx. But the Olympians don't tolerate oath-breakers. In this final book in the trilogy, The Gatekeeper's Daughter, Therese may have finally succeeded in becoming a goddess, but if she wants to remain one, she'll not only have to discover her unique purpose, but also make some allies among the gods. Artemis sends her on a seemingly impossible quest across the world, while Than searches for a way to appease Ares. To make matters worse, her aunt's baby's life hangs in the balance.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i>Female science fiction writers have existed since Mary Shelley invented the genre with Frankenstein, but their work has not always been easy to find. We've found nine excellent stories from the 1950s, many of which have never been reprinted since their first publication, and edited them especially for the Kindle and other e-readers.
<br /><br />
Stories include lost classics from legends of the genre such as Judith Merril, Miriam Allen deFord and Carol Emshwiller, as well as a few authors that we'll guarantee you've never read before.</i></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Mr. Elsie Smith by Dana Lyon</b></span>
<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Whether you see this story as science fiction or fantasy depends on whether you view Mr. Elsie Smith as a nascent artificial intelligence or simply as a magical typewriter.</span></blockquote>

<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Psychiatrists make a good living these days helping people work through the issues of their childhood. Here, a woman and her husband find a more direct (and catastrophic) route.</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>The Very Secret Agent by Mari Wolf</b></span>
<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A tale of interplanetary war, the outcome of which depends on a woman in love with a married man. Along the way, a telepathic alien discovers that some thoughts just aren't worth reading.</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>The Hero by Elaine Wilber</b></span>
<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The gruff, worldly marine in an outpost far from home. The pure, innocent local beauty. A trite combination, perhaps, but in this story, it is also one with an unexpected outcome.</span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Suppose, on some idyllic alien world, everyone has a lifespan of exactly 100 years. Now suppose a scoundrel of an Earthman finds a way to game the system...</span></blockquote>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The story opens in 1934 on the Spanish island of Ibiza. Following an incident at a fiesta Verity, a young English lawyer, is listed as a British spy by General Franco, the military governor of the island. She escapes just in time to avoid arrest.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Back in England, she returns to work in her father’s law firm but friendships made in Spain begin to shape the course of her life.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As the tumultuous events in Barcelona build up to the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War she is increasingly caught up in these events. As the Civil War gathers pace and the chaos builds, it becomes apparent that only she may be able to carry out a daring rescue mission. She finds that she has to make a choice between staying at home in a safe job or casting aside all conventions and being drawn into the shadowy world of espionage.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Can she both succeed and survive as a woman in a man’s world?
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The intricate threads of the story draw together a group of diverse characters in London and Spain whose lives come together in an explosive conclusion as Verity becomes the target for sabotage and final betrayal in a battle whose outcome is far from predictable.

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Jolyn Jones was born and educated in the suburbs of London and did her initial training as a lawyer in London. On qualification as a solicitor, she continued her career as a commercial lawyer initially in a finance house and later in the automotive industry. She moved into private practice, firstly as a partner in a Birmingham law firm but later ran her own private commercial law practice.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">One former Spanish boyfriend did propose to her at a bus stop in London but the rain soon quenched that relationship. She trained for a private pilot’s license for aeroplanes, held a balloon pilot’s licence and owned her own hot air balloon. Jolyn Jones is married and lives in a small midland town in England.

<br />
Bargain Mart, long a fixture in the Missoula economic structure has fallen on hard times. Things are dire,
and if a financial windfall doesn’t arrive soon, their doors will close.
<br />
<br />
Across town, a woman grieves her recently deceased husband. Sitting alone at her kitchen table trying
to put her life back in order, a call arrives asking where his quarter million dollar life insurance policy
should be sent. A quarter million dollar life insurance policy she never knew existed.
<br />
<br />
Answering the phone on the other end of her call for help is Drake Bell, third year law student at the
University of Montana. Joined by his partner Ava, and his loyal friends the Zoo Crew, Drake must
attempt to make sense of the case Alice presents him.
<br />
<br />
A case that only grows more complex as people continue to pass in Missoula, all with ties to Bargain
Mart, all with large life insurance policies attached to them. Policies known in the corporate world as
Dead Peasants…

I originally hail from southern Ohio, growing up in the heart of
farm country, and still consider it, along with West Tennessee,
my co-home. Between the two, I have a firm belief that football
is the greatest of all past-times, sweet tea is really the
only acceptable beverage for any occasion, there is not an
event on earth that either gym shorts or boots can't be worn
to, and that Dairy Queen is the best restaurant on the planet.
Further, southern accents are a highly likeable feature on most
everybody, English bulldogs sit atop the critter hierarchy, and
there is absolutely nothing wrong with a Saturday night spent
catfishing at the lake.
<br />
<br />
Since leaving I've been to college in New England, grad school
in the Rockies, and lived in over a dozen different cities
ranging from DC to Honolulu along the way. Each and every one of
these experiences has shaped who I am at this point and I have
developed enormous affinity for locales and people of every size
and shape.
<br />
<br />
By day I work as a healthcare attorney in Honolulu, focusing
largely on health policy and implementation. By night I am
usually found barefooting along one of Oahu’s many beaches
before heading inside to write. Dead Peasants is my eighth
novel, and the second in The Zoo Crew series. I am currently
working on the follow-up, along with a handful of independent
projects.

When the Unseelie Court sentences an innocent man to death, the elven Princess Morgana cannot sit idly by as the human Knight perishes. The Queen calls her pathetic and worthless. It does not change how Mori feels about the old laws of Alfheim. These rules punish the faultless, lesser races of the Nine Realms of Odin.
<br />
<br />
Of the nine, this realm of the Light is home to many mythical creatures.
The portal gates remain forever closed to the human race. However,
neglected for centuries, a Knight from the realm of Earth enters the
Light. Holding onto his faith and code of honor, he holds stoically in
the face of capture and death. Princess Mori remains his only hope, but
to save him, she must first save herself.<br />

In the late 1940s, the minor league Milwaukee Brewers are foundering yet again and manager Arthur Murphy is desperate. When he sees seventeen-year old Mickey Tussler throwing apples into a barrel, he knows he has found the next pitching phenom. But not everyone is so hopeful. Mickey’s autism—a disorder still not truly understood even today—has alienated the boy from the world, and he is berated by other players and fans. Mickey faces immense trials in the harsh and competitive world of baseball while coping with the challenges inherent to his disorder. An honest and knowledgeable book about overcoming adversity, and the basis for the television movie A Mile in His Shoes, Mickey’s powerful story shows that with support and determination anyone can be triumphant, even when the odds are stacked against him.

It’s 1949 and eighteen-year-old pitching phenom Mickey Tussler is back with the rejuvenated minor league Brewers in the sequel to The Legend of Mickey Tussler (the basis for the television movie A Mile in His Shoes). Despite Mickey’s proclamation that he will never play baseball again after last season’s violent conclusion, his manager—and now surrogate father—Arthur Murphy cajoles the emotionally fragile, socially awkward boy with autism into giving it another shot. Mickey reluctantly returns to the field and must once again cope with the violence and hatred around him. When a young African American player joins the team, the entire team is subjected to racial threats and episodes of violence, one of which Mickey witnesses firsthand. Struggling to understand such ugliness and hatred, and fearful of reprisal should he tell anyone about what he has seen, the boy’s performance on the field suffers. Mickey now must deal with a side of human nature he scarcely comprehends.

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">This sums up how <span style="font-size: large;">I feel in between Pearl Jam concerts. I depend on li<span style="font-size: large;">ve Pearl Jam sho<span style="font-size: large;">ws to rejuvenate me and to put me back in touch with myself.</span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Yes, it's a personal problem, but I know I am not alone in this.</span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The intro of the song builds up, layer by layer, increa<span style="font-size: large;">sing your anticipation, before <span style="font-size: large;">releasing into an explosion of light and sound. I feel the build up begin deep in my stomach and then<span style="font-size: large;"> all o<span style="font-size: large;">f <span style="font-size: large;">my cares a<span style="font-size: large;">nd worries disappear.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">I love the line "I don't wanna take wha<span style="font-size: large;">t you can give. I would rather starve than eat your bread." To me, it means I am better off doing my thing alon<span style="font-size: large;">e than trying to deal wit<span style="font-size: large;">h you being fake. You have nothing to offer me, so go away. I hate fake people<span style="font-size: large;"> and try to keep them away at all costs. This is an example of where I am<span style="font-size: large;"> in<span style="font-size: large;">terpreting the lyrics for myself, instead of what Eddie wanted them to mean. Remember, he wants us all to become "part-own<span style="font-size: large;">ers" of <span style="font-size: large;">the music and to take what we want or need from <span style="font-size: large;">their songs.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

It's off of <i>Vitalogy</i>. The clip that I included <span style="font-size: large;">above is from the May <span style="font-size: large;">2, 2003 concert in Buffalo, NY. I was at that show, somewhere to the right of the person filming. I remember being up in nosebleed section, getting dizzy before the show. I went with my sister and one of our friends. It was her first concert. (Brat.) I still</span></span> say this is the best show I have ever been to of theirs.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

A young teenage girl is l<span style="font-size: large;">istening to her cassette tape <i><span style="font-size: large;">Ten</span></i><span style="font-size: large;"> by Pearl Jam<span style="font-size: large;"> as she does her homework. She has listened to it do<span style="font-size: large;">zens of times before, while reading and studying. But this time, it's different.</span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">The haun<span style="font-size: large;">ting chords begin and suck her i<span style="font-size: large;">nto an alternate universe. Her eyes close as <span style="font-size: large;">Eddie's voice washes over her. Her meditation is so deep that she doesn't even notice when th<span style="font-size: large;">e <span style="font-size: large;">next song begins. The <span style="font-size: large;">loud pop of the cassette ending on that side <span style="font-size: large;">jars her out of her re<span style="font-size: large;">verie. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">She feels emotionally spent, yet cleansed at the same time. An obsession is now buried deep in her soul and her life will never be the same again.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">That, my friends, is what happened to me one day when "Black<span style="font-size: large;">" came on. Even though I had heard it before, somehow that day, it sp<span style="font-size: large;">oke to me in a way that nothing else ever had before. I had been a Pearl Jam fan for a <span style="font-size: large;">while, but that moment triggered something new inside of me. To this day<span style="font-size: large;">, I can be transported elsewhere by listening to their music. It heals me. It makes me laugh. It makes me cry. It f<span style="font-size: large;">uels my writing, cleaning, reading, whatever I need to do.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

It <span style="font-size: large;">hurts to hear it. Even when I hear it live, I end up closing my eyes, transported to an<span style="font-size: large;">other place, <span style="font-size: large;">with tears streaming down my cheeks. I get really pissed at people who have to talk or <span style="font-size: large;">yell when this song is <span style="font-size: large;">being played. It's the ultimate experience.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

No one else is ever going to make me feel the way that their music does. Nothing else inspires me the way that they do. No one else molds my emotions and spirit in the same way. So, this year, for the A to Z Challenge, I am going to try to focus on one of my muses...<br />
<br />
"Alive" was the second single that came off of <i>Ten</i>, and was the first one to really make waves on the radio. I do remember seeing the video for "Evenflow" and falling in love with the band at that time, but "Alive" really captured my attention.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
It is one of the greatest guitar songs ever written. Its message is strong. Though it is about Eddie finding out the truth about his birth father, the chorus rings true for all of us at all times. "Hey, I'm still alive." It doesn't matter what kind of personal hell you are going through. You are still alive. You have made it through yet another day. You can get through yet another one.<br />
<br />
Have you ever been to a live Pearl Jam show when they play this song? The entire venue is uplifted. It's almost a physical reaction, as well as an emotional and spiritual one. Everyone is bellowing the words and pumping their fists in a collective redemption of their souls. It's magical and part of the reason I crave going to a live Pearl Jam show.<br />
<br />
The song also has special significance for me since meeting Eddie a few years ago. I shook his hand and said, "Thank you for the last 18 years of my life." He squeezed mine back and moved on. And then he turned to look at me again and said, "Stay alive." This was on the eve of some of the most difficult months and years of my life. And I have stayed alive, thanks in part to their music.Andihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02800570277515611505noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758873849241413451.post-74787268220037843702013-03-22T07:09:00.001-04:002013-03-22T07:10:39.698-04:00Cover Reveal!

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The
Deacons of the Order are all that stand between the wicked spirits of
the Otherside and the innocent citizens of the Empire. They are sworn
to protect humanity, even when they cannot protect themselves…</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">After
the Razing of the Order, Sorcha Faris, one of the most powerful
Deacons, is struggling to regain control of the runes she once
wielded. The Deacons are needed more desperately than ever. The
barrier between the world of the living and the world of the dead is
weakening, and the Emperor has abandoned his throne, seeking to
destroy those he feels have betrayed him.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Though
she is haunted by the terrible truth of her past, Sorcha must lead
the charge against the gathering hordes of geists seeking to cross
into the Empire. But to do so, she will need to manipulate powers
beyond her understanding—powers that may prove to be her undoing…</span></span></div>

<h3>
About Author Liz Schulte</h3>
Many authors claim to have known their calling from a young age. Liz Schulte, however, didn't always want to be an author. In fact, she had no clue. Liz wanted to be a veterinarian, then she wanted to be a lawyer, then she wanted to be a criminal profiler. In a valiant effort to keep from becoming Walter Mitty, Liz put pen to paper and began writing her first novel. It was at that moment she realized this is what she was meant to do. As a scribe she could be all of those things and so much more.
<br />
<br />
When Liz isn't writing or on social networks she is inflicting movie quotes and trivia on people, reading, traveling, and hanging out with friends and family. Liz is a Midwest girl through and through, though she would be perfectly happy never having to shovel her driveway again. She has a love for all things spooky, supernatural, and snarky. Her favorite authors range from Edgar Allen Poe to Joseph Heller to Jane Austen to Jim Butcher and everything in between.

Andre de Laurent is the second son of an extremely wealthy family, which basically means he’ll always be number two. That is, until his mother’s uncle dies and leaves him a multi-billion-dollar fortune. So what’s the trouble? Andre has sixty days to take a wife, and he’ll have to remain married for one year or forfeit the inheritance to distant relatives—who are hell-bent on claiming the inheritance as their own.
<br />
<br />
Aspiring actress Tasha Gordon has never wanted anything quite so much as that big break—until she met Andre de Laurent. Could his offer turn out to be the role of lifetime?

"All my life I've worked to be simple, but I can't pretend anymore. Nothing about me is simple."
<br />
<br />
In the year 2050, a secret government study nicknamed Operation Source Code injects eight volunteers with a retrovirus. The goal? To abate the energy crisis by reprogramming human DNA to power personal electronic devices. The experiment works but with disastrous consequences.
<br />
<br />
Seventeen years later, Lydia Troyer is far from concerned with the energy crisis. Growing up in the isolated community of Hemlock Hollow, life hasn't changed much since 1698 when her Amish ancestors came to America. She milks her cow by hand, makes fresh bread every morning, and hopes to be courted by Jeremiah, the boy who's been her best friend since she could walk.
<br />
<br />
But when Lydia's father has a stroke and is taken to the outside world for medical treatment, Lydia and Jeremiah leave Hemlock Hollow. An ordinary light switch thrusts Lydia into a new world where energy is a coveted commodity and her own personal history makes her the most sought-after weapon on the planet.

What would it take for the United States to fall from within? In a not too
distant future, America is put to the test. With the American people deep
in The Second Great Depression and two of the most powerful hurricanes on
record to contend with, the United States is in no condition to deal with
hidden terrorists on its soil, maniacal politicians, and the most
formidable military threat the world has seen since the Third Reich.
<br />
<br />
This is the story of three men from three very different walks of life:
Howard Beck, the world's richest man, also diagnosed with Asperger's
Syndrome; Richard Dupree, ex-Navy SEAL turned escaped convict; and Maxwell
Harris, a crippled, burned-out chief of police of a small Texas town. At
first, they must overcome their own struggles and fight for their survival
against impossible odds. In the end, the unlikely trio must band together
to save their beloved country from COLLAPSE.
<br />
<br />
Empires topple. Nations crumble. Civilization is fragile. In 2027, America
will fall.<br /><br>
<h3>
About Author Richard Stephenson</h3>
Richard Stephenson was born in 1975 in Denison, TX and spent his childhood
in North Texas. In 1992, he graduated high school after only three years.
He then pursued his degree at Oklahoma Christian University, once again
accomplishing the task in three years. Richard then married his best
friend before going off to basic training to be a military policeman with
the US Army. With his new wife joining the adventure, they spent the next
four years at Fort Polk, LA and had two children.
<br />
<br />
Just before his son turned five, Richard and his wife were told that their
oldest child had Asperger's Syndrome. Nine years later, Richard's son
would become the inspiration for the character of Howard Beck.
<br />
<br />
After leaving the armed forces, Richard continued his law enforcement
career in the federal sector and has been with the Department of Justice
for twelve years.

Life was pleasantly normal for Gala Rhyce—that is, until her mom moved the family to Flagler Beach, Florida. Now—despite the palm trees, ocean breezes, and cute surfer guys—Gala is miserable…until she meets Trista. Trista makes a great friend, except for one thing: she's a ghost.<br />
<br />
The girls learn to communicate, and through Gala, Trista finds a way to experience the world again. As Gala’s romance with a heartthrob poet begins to bloom, her unlikely friendship with Trista continues—until the ghost wants more than Gala can give, and things start to go horribly wrong.<br />
<br />
Filled with horror, romance, and humor, Food for a Hungry Ghost is about friendship, trust, jealousy, and boundaries that get pushed too far.<br />
<br />
How much can Gala endure? Will she survive the clutches of the Hungry Ghost?<br />

Joshua Hanover had it all. He was handsome, rich, athletic, and had always been popular with the ladies. Yet, until he gets paired up with his beautiful but shy lab partner, Rosa, he never allowed himself to fall in love. As the chemistry between them grows, Josh realizes that his player days have come to end. But it seems his change of heart has come too late. Not only is Rosa leery of his bad boy reputation, he has four vindictive ex-girlfriends who are on a rampage. At first he doesn’t take their threats seriously, but then his tires are slashed, someone tries to poison him, and one of the girls turns up dead. Josh doesn’t know who to trust, but one thing is certain. It definitely isn’t worth the price he’s paying to be a player.

Nobody Has To Know, Frank Nappi's dark and daring new thriller, tells the story of Cameron Baldridge, a popular high school teacher whose relationship with one of his students leads him down an unfortunate and self-destructive path. Stalked through text-messages, Baldridge fights for his life against a terrifying extortion plot and the forces that threaten to expose him. NHTK is a sobering look into a world of secrets, lies, and shocking revelations, and will leave the reader wondering many things, including whether or not you can ever really know the person you love.

About Author T.S. Graham</h3>
T.S. Graham was born and raised in midcoast Maine. He has worked as a sea urchin diver, fish monger, home renovator, and in several group homes for children and adults with disabilities. His original screenplay, Stone's Point, written as Clint Elliott, has won multiple awards. He studied English Literature at the University of Southern Maine, where, despite developing a strong dislike of the traditional curriculum focused on old, dead (and boring) scribes, he somehow managed to graduate with honors. His greatest influences are writers like Stephen King and Michael Crichton, whose talents would have allowed them to write more literary fare, but they chose to thrill and entertain instead. He now lives on a horse farm with his beautiful wife and five daughters, two poodles, two cats, two happy turtles, four playful ferrets, three fish, a corn snake named "Tiger," dozens of chickens, and, of course, four awesome equines. The Chronicles of Trellah, Book One: The Perpetual Rain is his debut novel.

</b></h2>
Everyone should have something to rebel against.
<br />
<br />
Crank Wilson left his South Boston home at sixteen to start a punk band and burn out
his rage at the world. Six years later, he's still at odds with his father, a Boston
cop, and doesn't ever speak to his mother. The only relationship that really matters
is with his younger brother, but watching out for Sean can be a full-time job.
<br />
<br />
The one thing Crank wants in life is to be left the hell alone to write his music
and drive his band to success.
<br />
<br />
Julia Thompson left a secret behind in Beijing that exploded into scandal in
Washington, DC, threatening her father's career and dominating her family's life.
Now, in her senior year at Harvard, she's haunted by a voice from her past and
refuses to ever lose control of her emotions again, especially when it comes to a
guy.
<br />
<br />
When Julia and Crank meet at an anti-war protest in Washington in the fall of 2002,
the connection between them is so powerful it threatens to tear everything apart.
<br />
<br />
