Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annabelle is a teen-aged girl who feels like a misfit most of the time. Her difficulties with friendship and trust are put fully to the test when she discovers a dragon hiding in the woods behind her home, and a strange and powerful bond forms between them. When this beautiful and enchanting creature is joined by a fellow ally from a far-away world called Qi^Ba^Ru, they invite Annabelle to go on an adventure she couldn’t possibly imagine. The dragon speaks of a legend of her return to a world that was once well known to her ancestors and explains that her human family is in great danger. An evil war lord from this world, Daramac, has dedicated his life to putting an end to humankind, and he may have finally found a way to get to Annabelle’s world and complete his mission. Full of fear, mistrust, and uncertainty, Annabelle embarks on this quest, relying more and more on the bonds she has formed with the dragon, Arielle, and the half-elf, Doogal. Once in Qi^Ba^Ru, Doogal, Arielle and Annabelle hope to recover Daramac’s greatest hidden treasure - the stolen golden eggs which hold the last of the female dragons of their time. The Legend of The Return paints Annabelle as the hero of the story, but she cannot believe it to be true. She is just a girl who misses her mom, and who feels afraid and unsure. This bond she has formed with her dragon, Arielle, is changing her, though. Maybe, when fueled by love and trust, anything is possible. Maybe their love is even strong enough to overcome great evil. As Annabelle faces this strange new world, she must find courage, confidence, and love within.

The downside about being a famous child detective is that sooner or later, you have to grow up . . . As a kid, Charlotte Illes’ uncanny sleuthing abilities made her a minor celebrity. But in high school, she hung up her detective’s hat and stashed away the signature blue landline in her “office”—aka garage—convinced that finding her adult purpose would be as easy as tracking down missing pudding cups or locating stolen diamonds. Now 25, Charlotte has a nagging fear that she hit her peak in middle school. She’s living with her mom, scrolling through job listings, and her love life consists mostly of first dates. When it comes to knowing what to do next, Charlotte hasn’t got a clue. And then, her old blue phone rings . . . Reluctantly, Charlotte is pulled back into the mystery-solving world she knew—just one more time. But that world is a whole lot more complicated for an adult. As a kid, she was able to crack the case and still get her homework done on time. Now she’s dealing with dead bodies, missing persons, and villains who actually see her as a viable threat. And the detective skills she was once so eager to never use again are the only things that can stop a killer ready to make sure her next retirement is permanent . . .

Book excerpt: This book is not just about me. It’s about life, relationships with parents, siblings, children, and friends. It’s about addictions, it’s about you, and most importantly, it’s about change. I will be surprised if you can’t find yourself somewhere in this book. I promise you at the end of the book, life will seem easier. It’s about taking back control of your life, not letting drugs, alcohol, or people have control of you. I am not a celebrity. I am a regular person who became addicted to drugs because I didn’t have the courage or the knowledge to take charge of my life and to be positive. A large well-known medical center in the southeast took me on as a case history. I learned so much from Dr. D and Dr. Arielle Kogan and the other medical staff and want to share it with you. In the book, I tell what it feels like to be addicted to opioids. I talk about going through withdrawal and counseling and what happens in group therapy, and I share private counseling as well. I have changed the names of the patients, family members, and friends as not to cause embarrassment. I am not using my real name. I wrote the initial draft of this book forty-three years ago when everything was fresh in my mind. I put the book on the shelf, and there it lay for forty-three years, collecting dust as there was no ending, and the time was not right. Now with the opioid crisis, the time is right, and the book now has a happy and surprising ending.

Download or read book Appearing Live at the Final Test written by John Teton and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003-05-06 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: APPEARING LIVE AT THE FINAL TEST is an intense hybrid of contemporary real-world drama and mythic science fiction about a black newsstand operator, his wife and three neighbors in a Brooklyn-like neighborhood, whose lives take a cosmic punch from a nuclear bomb threat that launches them on an eerie and spellbinding journey. "APPEARING LIVE AT THE FINAL TEST is an extremely well-written novel--a pleasure to read, a wild ride of depression at some points, exhilaration at others. John Teton has raised some serious concerns regarding the fate of civilizations, and our consciousness is raised with this thought-provoking work." Eric Chaisson, Author, COSMIC EVOLUTION Professor of Astronomy and Physics, Tufts University Director, Wright Center for Science Education "APPEARING LIVE AT THE FINAL TEST is a genre-breaking story unlike any other. Its scenes range from a scarily realistic depiction of an urban nuclear event to mind-stretching intergalactic travel,;all related in the author's savvy, wisecracking, original and sometimes hilarious hyperbolic voice." Craig A. Lambert, Ph.D.; Deputy Editor, HARVARD MAGAZINE Mr. Teton gives fictionalized treatment to "cosmic evolution," a complex and controversial theory which holds that evolution affects not just life on Earth, but extends back to the birth of the universe and continues to include changes in human civilization, culture, technology and beyond. The story benefits from a grounding in everyday human fears and troubles, along with mind-blowing scenes which venture into questions about creation and the role of human beings in it. The novel is chock-full of information about stars and the planets, and yet he clearly knows a thing or two about teenagers, old folks, sailing, marine biology, marriage, love, pop culture, terrorism, religious extremists and the media.
