Book excerpt: Time’s running out and Wes Calvin needs a fake girlfriend to show up for the holidays, at least for the duration of the company Christmas party. Then he can make excuses for the rest of his seasonal commitments with his family. When he mentions his dilemma in passing to his building manager, a very eccentric but lovable older lady, she says not to worry, she has just the woman for him. Holly Monroe has no desire to go on a date with some trust-fund baby but feels guilted into agreeing to the preposterous idea made by her building manager. The woman may be a bit odd but saved her from spending the holidays on the streets by offering up a very nice apartment in her building. As long as he doesn’t spend the evening espousing his greatness or advising her on how to improve her financial net worth, she’ll toss back an egg nog or two and then wish him Feliz Navidad. But when she opens her door to Mr. Money Bags, Holy Christmas, she can’t hear the words coming from his mouth because … hark… are those angels singing? His Fake Holiday was released in November 2022 as part of the Curves for Christmas multi-author collection. It has been recovered and is being integrated into Anne Lange's Kismet Publishing series.

Book excerpt: Candice Gaines loves Christmas. Not only does she bask in the twinkling lights, sing Christmas carols and go crazy with the decorations, she's also in the giving spirit, donating much of her time and wealth to various charities in the local area. Charlie Sullivan despises Christmas. Though it keeps his family afloat, considering they own Sullivan Family Christmas Tree Farm, the main provider for Christmas trees on the Monterey peninsula. He'd much rather work among the trees versus have to deal with people. But Charlie's parents are taking on more philanthropic projects-and as their oldest child, they want him to be their official public representative. He just has to play nice and convince everyone he's not a total holiday hater. When Charlie's mom asks Candice to accompany him to a variety of holiday parties and events, she reluctantly agrees. She thinks Charlie is a big ol' Grinch, but is determined to change his mindset and help him spread Christmas cheer. Charlie finds Candice is too chatty, too sweet, too much. Do people like her really exist? Why yes, yes they do. The more time they spend together-along with a few kisses under the mistletoe-the more they start to like each other. Hopefully Charlie can convince Candice he doesn't have a heart that's two sizes too small before the ball drops on New Year's Eve.

Download or read book The Half Life of Happiness written by John Casey and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2015-08-19 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the winner of the 1989 National Book Award (for Spartina), a major new novel--wise, sad, and richly comic--about the meltdown of a marriage against the backdrop of a gloriously awful congressional campaign. Charlottesville, Virginia, 1978: Mike is a successful forty-something lawyer, a onetime congressional staffer who's had it with Washington; Joss, his wife, is a filmmaker. They're Virginia liberals with a clan of close-knit friends--a bright, edgy, flirty, games-playing group, spinning like a Catherine wheel around Mike and Joss. But the sparks that fly between the two are getting hotter and more dangerous, as Joss' restlessness turns to impatience and then anger. When one of the group introduces them all to the woman he wants to marry, things suddenly explode--this new arrival and Joss fall passionately in love, and their whole world careens out of control. What ensues is tragicomedy, as Mike tries to allay his rage and misery by letting himself get sucked into a trial run for a seat in Congress. He wants to be a hero to someone; instead he becomes the unwitting star of a political farce. Meantime, Joss is struggling with her new life, and their two young daughters (who form a lovingly unmerciful Greek chorus commenting on the action) have to navigate a turmoil in which one parent is a public joke and the other a private scandal. Rarely has the undoing of love been chronicled with such large-hearted humanity.

Part self-help, part current affairs, this book provides an investigation of a myriad correlating prophesies and events that synergistically corroborate one another. Each piece of the End of Days puzzle comes into view by the book's end to reveal a crystal clear picture of what is about to occur with our fragile world. This complete picture will manifest an epiphany within you. Many topics discussed here have remained undisclosed to the public, are sensitive and not publicly indoctrinated. Trained for war by the U.S. Marines Corps infantry and then turned pacifist, author Drew R. Maras raises the flag of awareness on the duality of man and the importance of peace. So, if you want some answers-or just a provocative, powerful ride-this book is just for you.
