In a brutal and lonely world, how do you get
the human connection that you NEED
from the person that you CRAVE but cannot TRUST?
A deceiver like you. As ruthless as you.
The ENEMY.

On an alternative Earth called Terra, imperial Basur calls the shots, and everybody falls into line. Well, almost everybody…

Kendra Veiss is a young woman, but one to be reckoned with. She is as complicated as her life has always been. After a difficult childhood and a turbulent coming of age, she has found purpose in the ranks of the DSS, the Basuri secret service.

Times are complicated too. The rebellious, belligerent Askar were crushed by the Basur in a vicious internecine war nearly a century ago. They have picked themselves up off the ground and are making trouble again. Trouble that comes knocking on Kendra’s door. For one night, the unprecedented, the unthinkable happens. Kendra is abducted for interrogation by Askari intelligence from the streets of the Basuri capital.

She should be dead. But Kendra walks out of an Askari black site without a scratch on her. A modern-day miracle, some might say. Not Kendra. She knows her guardian angels are all too human.

Aran Reiner, for one. Six-foot-four-inches of arresting good looks and bad, bad news. He seemed determined to ensure her release. Now he is hanging around her like a hungry stray. What does Reiner want?

What Kendra wants is to surrender to temptation. But she thinks she can resist the lure of forbidden fruit. With all that bad blood between them, it should be simple.

Except that, in the murky world of espionage, nothing is simple. She should know that by now.

This racy, high-octane thriller grapples with fascinating dichotomies: inexorable attraction between enemies, the building of trust in an atmosphere of deceit, the showing of mercy in the course of ruthless pursuit of imperatives. It is the first installment in a thought-provoking series that explores human relationships in all their complex glory.

The Lost Boys from Longwood: What Hides Behind the Walls of a Facility Housing Wards of the State with a Juvenile Record. True Stories.  

About The Lost Boys from Longwood: What Hides Behind the Walls of a Facility Housing Wards of the State with a Juvenile Record. True Stories.

When Toby was little, his mom blew her brains out with a nine-millimeter while he was sitting on her lap. Mike spent his childhood locked inside a chicken coop on a farm in Illinois, and his scars indicated severe abuse. Pablo was smuggled into the country from Mexico and dumped on the streets. Demetrius was kicked out of his house after he revealed to his family that he was gay. These boys had one thing in common: they were all neglected, abused, or both. Some endured unimaginable torment; a few suffered from mental illness and were dangerous to themselves and others. They were housed at Longwood because they graduated from juvie and had nowhere else to go. They were all experts at being institutionalized. With limited prospects for the future, many planned to commit a crime immediately after being discharged from Longwood and spend the rest of their lives in an adult prison. They would say that it beats being hungry and homeless.
Longwood was a scene of rampant corruption, sexual abuse, and violence. It was also a place where people loved, laughed, took risks, and made sacrifices to help one another. In The Lost Boys from Longwood, J. C. Pater reveals what hides behind the walls of a facility for the wards of the state with a juvenile record. Her book shows how children’s privacy laws, put into place to protect the children, are used to shield exploitation and profiteering. J. C. Pater urges that, if we are sincere about helping the most vulnerable members of our society, we must act now.

Rumor Has It  

About Rumor Has It

Boone Hatcher.
He’s the very definition of ‘the bane of my existence’. He’s also the main attraction in all my dreams.
I’m the girl from the wrong side of the tracks. I’m not here to impress, so I don’t care what anyone thinks of me.

That’s before Boone. And Reed Thornton.
Rich, popular, and chiseled jaws make all the girls weak in the knees.
By the end of summer when they leave for college, I’m fully invested, or at least, that’s what my heart tells me.

That was ten years ago.

Now, they’re back, and with them comes whispers of tall tales and hard facts.
Will I know the truth when I hear it, or will I lose the man who’s owned my heart forever?
Rumor has it, I’m about to find out.

So Your Boss Can’t Lead? A Practical Guide to Be the Leader You Want by Stephanie German  

About So Your Boss Can’t Lead? A Practical Guide to Be the Leader You Want by Stephanie German

Anyone can be a boss. It takes a true servant to be a leader.

The success of any organization and its people depends on the type of leader you choose to be. Stephanie German, leadership coach and speaker, succinctly dissects what it takes to become a leader worth following. Maybe you’ve heard these phrases from your own boss:

“Well, I’m the boss so I’m going to do what I want.”
“I’m the boss and get to make the final decision.”
“This is how it’s going to be done–no questions.”

If those words sound familiar, then realize that you’re not alone. This book is designed to help you navigate your own leadership journey so you can become the boss you’ve always wanted to be. Stephanie German teaches you how to:

Find your strengths as a leader
Learn how to delegate others
Lead people with their particular personality in mind
Communicate effectively with your employees
Act like a leader, not a manager

What if you actually did what you thought was right and not whatever it took to meet deadlines? What if you learned a better way to lead people? And what if that style of leadership made everyone more successful?

So Your Boss Can’t Lead? transforms leaders into great ones. From crafting a mission statement of your core values to examining the differences between management and leadership, you’ll finish this concise book with a plan in place to demonstrate servant leadership instead of micromanagement.

Are you ready to establish trust with your employees, communicate an organization’s vision, and build up new leaders in the process?
