About Blank Check: What if you were asked to help reinvent public schools?

Inspiring young adults to reimagine public education, Blank Check is a novel about young people and a generation that is prepared to step in and re-engineer public education.

The problem with gathering the forces of educators and businesses to advance the process of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) with Career and Technical Education (CTE) education is not that it is unworthy of their attention.

It’s not that it’s unimportant to the future kids coming through public schools.

It’s not that people do not get cheered when they champion new standards.

It’s ALL of these.

STEM and CTE education need a story. Today’s culture advances things through storytelling. It needs a context. That’s what happens when there is allowed incremental advances to nonchalantly lead the way. It fails to inspire.

Blank Check is that story.

It’s a fictional tale grounded in pure reality.

It is an intriguing, inspirational Young Adult novel that takes place on a fictional U.S. island, but the story that evolves could help reshape public schools in America.

So here, for the first and hopefully not the last time, there is a tale offered that can inspire people because when the destination can be seen in the distance, it quickens one’s pace.

The Friday Edition by Betta Ferrendelli

Snow isn’t all that’s falling in Denver, Colorado on Christmas Eve.
A beautiful, young district attorney tumbles from her balcony to her death.
Police suspect suicide, but the DA’s sister, newspaper reporter Samantha Church, isn’t buying it.
Samantha discovers evidence linking her sister to a drug smuggling case and quickly learns she has stumbled onto a major news story. She must summon the courage to not only face a cartel of criminals, but her own fears and shortcomings when she is confronted by the inescapable specter of a far greater enemy—her addiction to alcohol. Samantha’s dependency has not only cost her job at a major metropolitan daily, but, worse, custody of her daughter, April.
Samantha pursues her sister’s killers, maneuvering through a minefield of intrigue deliberately set out to divert her from the truth. Despite being betrayed, physically beaten and facing the possibility of sharing her sister’s fate, Samantha refuses to stop her investigation. However, when the killers threaten to harm April, Samantha realizes that, for her daughter’s sake, she can no longer continue the investigation on her own. She knows she must swallow her pride and turn to her ex-husband and police detective, Jonathan Church, for help.
Can Samantha ultimately prevail—find her sister’s killer, write the story of her career, confront her drinking problem, and finally begin to change her life, or will she and April become the killer’s next victims?

About Red Mist

For London lawyer, Jack West, a chance meeting with an attractive and mysterious women one lunchtime in his local wine bar turns his day into disaster and his world upside down. The secret she hides however is far, far worse…

All I did was go to my local wine bar for lunch and a glass of my favourite Malbec. My instincts should have told me that the attractive brunette, who approached me, was trouble. She was foreign, perhaps Eastern European and called herself Amber. When she pleaded with me to leave with her after two sinister-looking guys entered the bar, I should have declined, but instead I made my first mistake. My second mistake was going back to her apartment.

An Erotic Encounter…

Twenty minutes later, and I’m feeling intoxicated with her sexual magnetism and I find myself in a situation I never thought possible, but the fun ends abruptly and all hell breaks loose. The guys from the bar are at the door, and breaking in, shouting in a foreign language, sounds like Russian. And then suddenly – Thwack…Thwack! Amber has been shot, assassinated in front of me, her blood is everywhere. She falls back into my arms, and with her last breath, whispers; “Jack, run…Take my bag…and run!”

A Terrorist Attack…

I only have seconds to think. I grab Amber’s bag and flee for the fire escape, dodging a hail of bullets in the process, but the two assassins come after me.

A Global Catastrophe…

I finally make it home and work my way through the contents of the handbag, Was Amber an assassin? A spy? Perhaps even a terrorist? I slowly manage to join the dots, put some pieces of the puzzle together, but the more I learn the more terrified I become…and then my wife finds out.

RED MIST is a gripping, unputdownable, edge-of-your-seat, thriller with terrorism elements that will keep you turning the pages until the very end. If you enjoy espionage and spy thrillers and the action and adventure of a James Bond or Jason Bourne movie then you will love this fast paced mystery thriller.

About Yummy Me Feels So Good

This children’s book is a great way to explore and play with feelings together with your children. There are animal pictures that children can enjoy and talk about. This is a beautiful way for your children to make friends with their feelings and learn how to “play” with them. It’s also a way to encourage us to keep remembering and returning to positive and nurturing feelings and memories. This creates healthy neural networks in our brains. Something as simple as remembering an animal or happy feeling can change our whole body chemistry.

We can anchor happy feelings and memories in our neural networks by remembering them and “replaying” them to strengthen our “Happy Muscles”
We probably all remember when we were young how feelings came and went quickly and didn’t “stick” so much. A simple belly laugh could easily erase feelings then and bring us back to joy and wonder.

This is the feeling of wonder and gratitude for just being alive. Watch as a child loses him or herself with an insect, animal, small pebble. or even a faraway star. They are lost in the feeling of wonder and joy. We can all remember that as our natural happy place we lived in when we were young. We can reclaim this when we give space to and appreciate our children’s silent moments of wonder and joy.
