This modern fantasy combines magic with emotion while promising political intrigue and adventure. Each page transports you to a realm of dueling worlds, one advanced and the other locked in the age of sail and pirates. Andalon Awakens Many years from now, in a world in which we have all been forgotten, the Caldera of Cinder erupts and Andalon descends into chaos. Pirates and outlaws ally against tyranny as magical powers awaken at alarming rates, unraveling the plans of the evil Falconers. These dark administrators harvest children who could potentially manipulate the elements, stealing their abilities for a darker purpose. The heroes of this tale include Eusari Thorinson, kidnapped and sold at a young age. She must choose vengeance against those responsible for the pain she endured in evil hands, or choose to challenge the Falconers beside Braen Braston - a quiet outcast from the northern kingdom of Fjorik. Across the continent Robert Esterling fights to come of age and struggles with physical limitations while leading a civil war against his usurper brother - the leader chosen by the Falconers. He must decide the fate of thousands of refugees from the west, the hated and feared Pescari and their powerful goddess of fire. Follow these unlikely heroes as they face political intrigue and work through personal barriers. Read along as they learn to use their powers without destroying the very people they feel compelled to save. Gasp as they discover a much more dangerous foe than Andalon ever dreamed.

Download or read book Choosing the Right Legal Form of Business written by Patricia Mitchell and published by Atlantic Publishing Company. This book was released on 2010 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According the United States Small Business Administrationâe(tm)s most recently released date, there are more than 9 million small businesses in the United States and almost 250,000 new ones started every year. Of those new businesses, half will fail in the first 12 months and part of that failure is due to the lack of information about how to start and develop that business. Without the right legal form of business, you may end up paying too much in taxes, failing to comply with certain laws, or miss out on certain breaks that you deserve. This book provides you with a complete guide, discussing all four major forms of business, which one is right for you, and how your decision may affect you in the future. The first thing you will read about is the list of non-legal issues you need to deal with before you start the business creation process. In addition, you will learn which form of business is ideal for your particular situation with a short overview of each type, a comparison of what each offers, and how the legal implications of each might apply to you. You will learn specifically how to choose between an LLC and a corporation in instances where it might not be immediately clear which is best for you. You will also learn which special business structures are best suited to your needs if you do not fit into any of the four primary categories. The process of structuring a partnership is outlined, along with how to create a written agreement and how to change a partnership after the business has been created. You will also learn how to create a corporation, including the structure you will use, how to establish financing, the compensation you will provide yourself, whether you need a lawyer, the 13 step process of starting and filing your corporation, and what you need to do immediately afterwards. The number of members needed to create an LLC is provided as well, along with how to structure management and determine financing and compensation. Hours of careful interviews were conducted with successful small business owners and legal experts to help create a comprehensive collection of materials that will guide you through the processes above, as well as how to handle transition of ownership and the extended process of naming your business âe" including the legal implications of this process, what you need to know about trademarks and service marks, how to protect your own trademarks, and where to do name searches. The licensing and permit processes, as well as the tax structures for each business type, are included for federal, state, and local laws, while additional information is provided on how to build your home-based business as opposed to one in a physical location. If you are looking to create a new business and do not know which format is best for your needs, this book will walk you through each step of the selection process, making sure your new business meets all applicable laws and regulations.
