Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " LITTLE CRIMINALS WITH BIG HEARTS was written by author Luella Thomas. She was inspired to write this book based on her personal and professional experiences working as a Youth Counselor through her church organization in Southwest Michigan. It tells the story about a teenage boy who is arrested and placed in a juvenile detention center for fighting. While there, he crosses paths with kids who've been abused, abandoned, neglected, and have ran away from home. Others are there for fighting, domestic violence, violating court orders, using drugs or alcohol, and for committing crimes. It will undoubtedly change his life forever. The story demonstrates how kids will embrace self-respect and respect for others, when raised or placed, in an environment that provides discipline, structure, and guidance. Additionally, it homes in on the power of love, lies, loyalty, influence, and truth. Although some characters in this story will go on to live productive and successful lives, others will not be so lucky. They will unfortunately be sent to jail or prison, and others will die at an early age. Some incidents in this story are based on true events, while others are fictional. The names were created through the author's mind in an effort to bring the story together. A local book-club in Austin, Texas, states "Little Criminals with Big Hearts is a heart-felt romantic-drama that will make you smile, cry, and empathize with its characters." Although this story was written to entertain, it was also written to enlighten parents and all adults about the importance of improving their relationships with children, starting with their own. "

The events are depicted as he remembers them, though he has done his best not to embarrass friends and family. With straightforward honesty, he shares some of his deepest thoughts and beliefs on a wide rage of topics. For example, he explores how he and his wife handled their children with humor. Although his recollections aren't always fun, he does try to find a humorous side whenever possible?even when it's at his own expense.

From road rage to raising children, Ramblings, Rants, and Ravings of a Man offers one man's honest thoughts?possibly a bit more honest than most. Robbins recalls his sixty years, including the good, the bad, and the unbelievable.

Book excerpt: Mike and Jack walked down the path to the beverage cart but didn't see anyone attending the beverage cart. "Well, someone must have parked it here," Jack said, looking over the stocked beverage cart and opening a few containers to inspect the contents. Jack walked around the back of the beverage cart and noticed some sneakers behind a bush. "Mike, look over here," he said. They pulled back the bush and immediately Mike turned and ran a few feet. He bent over and violently vomited from the sight of what he had just witnessed. Sandy Creek Country Club is thrust into the center of a horrific scandal when one of its cart girls is found murdered on the thirteenth hole of the golf course. Lieutenant Ron Carr, the lead investigator on the case, struggles to connect the meager evidence to any of the suspects. Lieutenant Carr receives help from the county medical examiner, Dr. Jean Loreno, an attractive single mother who is looking for a father for her son, Jake. Carr and Loreno spend hours together examining the evidence and interrogating the long list of suspects-and everyone is a suspect. The two begin to develop feelings for each other, but will the grueling task of solving the murder get in the way of their growing relationship?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A beautiful book. . . . There are phrases in here that will make you laugh out loud, and others that will stop your heart. A definite triumph.” — David Rakoff, author of Love, Dishonor, Marry, Die, Cherish, Perish The international bestseller by Heather O'Neill, the Giller-shortlisted author of Daydreams of Angels and The Girl Who Was Saturday Night. A blend of Girl, Interrupted and Thirteen, Lullabies for Little Criminals is a heartbreaking and wholly original novel about a young girl fighting to preserve a bruised innocence on the feral streets of a big city Baby, all of thirteen years old, is lost in the gangly, coltish moment between childhood and the strange pulls and temptations of the adult world. Her mother is dead; her father Jules is always on the lookout for his next score. Baby knows that “chocolate milk” is Jules’ slang for heroin and sees a lot more of that in her house than the real article. But she takes vivid delight in the scrappy bits of happiness and beauty that find their way to her, and moves through the threat of the streets as if she’s been choreographed in a dance. Soon, though, a hazard emerges that is bigger than even her hard-won survival skills can handle. Alphonse, the local pimp, has his eye on her for his new girl; he wants her body and soul—and what the johns don’t take he covets for himself. At the same time, a tender and naively passionate friendship unfolds with a boy from her class at school, who has no notion of the dark claims on her—which even her father, lost on the nod, cannot totally ignore. Jules consigns her to a stint in juvie hall, and for the moment this perceived betrayal preserves Baby from terrible harm—but after that, her salvation has to be her own invention. Channeling the artlessly affecting voice of her thirteen-year-old heroine with extraordinary accuracy and power, O’Neill’s dazzles with a novel of extraordinary prescience and power, a subtly understated yet searingly effective story of a young life on the streets—and the strength, wits, and luck necessary for survival.
