3. Calasade: Strife by Mark Stone - Author Mark Stone began working on the world of Calasade in 2001. Between then and 2008 there were many starts and stops. In 2009, while atop a mountain overlooking the Rockies, Mark had an epiphany, so he got serious about Calasade. Maybe a little crazy, too…not the lock-him-up sort of crazy, but the mad scientist kind of crazy. Many nights he spent hunched over a computer not unlike how Victor Frankenstein hunched over his vials and instruments while trying to animate life. After much fleshing-out of details, experimentation, and writing-writing-writing, Mark sold an award-winning story called Calasade: Retribution. A publisher also accepted a novel during that year, but Mark eventually had misgivings about the novel and canceled the contract. Most roads worth traveling are bumpy and an author’s road is among the bumpiest. Undeterred and more determined, Mark dived back into Calasade and learned some new details about the massive, medieval world. In the latter part of 2012, he started writing anew and now some Calasade stories are here while others are forthcoming. More will always be coming.

10. I Guarantee You Will Buy Low Sell High and Make Money - I was born on Friday the 13th a long time ago in a far away galaxy. I went to Catholic grade and high school. My first published article appeared in the July, 1965 issue of Railroad Model Craftsman magazine for model train hobbyists. I was 17 years old. I totally confused my New Jersey parents and went to college at the University of Arizona - had never been further west than Philadelphia. Got a degree in History & Government and started law school. Interrupted by the Nixon lotto when I drafted into the Army in 1970. After two amazing years (in Vol. 2 of my autobiography), I went back to law school. Finished 1 1/2 years of law school (guess I'm a half-assed lawyer) and worked for the City of Tucson in the City Clerk's office. Then weirdly got hired as a Park Ranger out of the blue (also somewhere in the autobiography of 3 volumes. Then the Park Rangers were disbanded (Jim Ronstadt, Linda's brother, needed $250,000 to repair his new wiped out golf course) so I headed to Las Vegas to make my living betting on baseball games (I had a system!) Of that didn't work (see why my autobiography is aptly titled "My Only Crime Was Being Born"? So I went back to college at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas and got a second degree in Accounting. Since then I have been an auditor with the US Army and now the Air Force written audit reports for over 30 years. I first wrote my book in the 1987 in Seoul, Korea.

I am passionate about sharing what I have discovered to help others to tune in to the inbuilt signals and instincts that each of us was born with. The principles outlined here can be used by anyone, in any situation, no matter what their lifestyle or needs. These principals don’t cost anything to use, nor do they require the purchase of expensive gym, exercise equipment or personal trainers or chefs. Stumbling upon this new and totally natural way of eating totally changed my life for the better. They transformed my perspective on food and my body and helped me rid myself of long standing guilt surrounding certain foods. Once I overcame these issues, and could stop obsessing with food and my weight, I could get on with focusing on the important matters in my life. I’ve learnt that having the body of your dreams really is a priceless joy and I invite you to try these methods to do the same.

17. SPLIT-SECOND LIFETIME - My very first memory of life was the sound of my glorious mother's voice singing to me, most likely a Schubert lullaby, and I'm convinced that is why music always has a delicious way of creeping into my writing and becomes one of the most important elements. I spent twenty years in Europe because of my father, who was with the U.S. Diplomatic Corps, and my mother who was an opera singer. I worked mainly as a simultaneous interpreter and translator as I am a linguist and speak several languages, five of which are fluent. Because of my exposure to people of different nations my writing includes many foreign settings and cultures. I am a proud mother of a gallant Marine who served in Iraq, and among the members of our household you will find Louie the cat, so named because of his clawing love of Louis XV and XVI furniture, and surely thinks he must have been a fearless Marine in one of his former lives.

While writing my books I have always been guided by a single goal in mind. My goal and foremost desire is to help everyone understand the financial world surrounding us and enjoy it as much as I do. After meeting hundreds of clients I decided to enlarge my outreach and share my knowledge through my books, focusing on the topics I found to be most interesting and relevant. With more than 25 years of expertise investing in stocks and real-estate, including of course taking care of my own family's budget, I offer you in my books precious advices and practices to wisely use your money and reach retirement richer and happier.
