Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this future-set novella by bestselling author Scott Westerfeld, Kieran Black lives in a "perfect" world. Disease and starvation have been eradicated, sleep is unnecessary, and it takes no time at all to go from the Bahamas to the moon. But now Kieran has to take Scarcity, a class about how people lived in the bad old days. And as if sitting through an hour of Scarcity every day wasn't depressing enough, it's final projects time. Each student must choose some form of ancient hardship to experience for two whole weeks. Kieran chooses having to sleep eight hours a night, which doesn't seem too annoying. Maria Borsotti has never thought much of Kieran, but she decides to take pity on him and help him out with his project. Soon, Kieran is sleeping and having vivid dreams, while Maria, whose Scarcity project is to give up all teenage hormone regulation, is experiencing emotions she never knew she had. As their assignments draw them closer together, they begin to wonder if the olden days weren't so bad. Maybe something has been missing from their perfect lives after all?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is why he said, Let the weak say they are strong. Keep saying it and you will become it and you will have no choice but to release it because power and strength never stays within. A ruler and a scale are two different forms of measurement. The scale is used to create balance with the thoughts and with the ruler you measure everything else. You can measure the life and not the thoughts because the thoughts have no ending. But the mans life, you can measure it, because there is an end to his life. There is no position that you are stuck in until you die. As a matter of fact, you get out of life just what you put in. We are all Gods children. Talking about your fear with other people is the best thing you can do. It does not matter how ridiculous the fears in your mind sound. Ponder this: I think greed discovered man, rather than man discovered greed. There are many reasons why I think most men feel that women should not run the world. Firstly, their own insecurity, secondly, their thirst for greed, thirdly selfishness, but most of all is that fear inside that women do the same to them that they did to females in the past. Being a slave to your own fear is one of the most deadly things in life, it prevents you from achieving your dreams, it is sometimes worse than alcohol or drugs.

It is a story that will appeal to parents, teachers, community workers, health specialists and fans of travel writing alike.

Amanda and Clay head out to a remote corner of Long Island expecting a vacation: a quiet reprieve from life in New York City, quality time with their teenage son and daughter, and a taste of the good life in the luxurious home they’ve rented for the week. But a late-night knock on the door breaks the spell. Ruth and G. H. are an older couple—it’s their house, and they’ve arrived in a panic. They bring the news that a sudden blackout has swept the city. But in this rural area—with the TV and internet now down, and no cell phone service—it’s hard to know what to believe. Should Amanda and Clay trust this couple—and vice versa? What happened back in New York? Is the vacation home, isolated from civilization, a truly safe place for their families? And are they safe from one other?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What Is Everyone Talking About?" Throughout my forty-five years of life, many people (family, friends, teachers, neighbors, co-workers, bosses, professionals, or others) have made verbal statements regarding how I act, respond, or think. Here is a wide variety of the most common among them: "Susan, quit biting yourself!" "Susan, stop banging your head on the floor!" "Why are you hurting yourself?" "Stop flapping your hands in the air you look like a fairy!" "Susan doesn't have any sense of pain." "Put those shoulders down and stop rocking." "Stop kicking your feet and carrying on this temper tantrum." "Slow down!" "Lift up your chin and look at me, not out in space." "Stop screaming!" "Stop yelling!" "Talk slower!" "You're too loud!" "Stop your damn laughing; there is nothing funny about that." "Susan is so sensitive about everything." "Stop staring off somewhere and pay attention." "Susan is nervous and jerky mostly jerky." "Are you deaf? Answer me." "Your thinking is backward." "You are such a klutz." "Why are you so clumsy?" "What did you do now crash?" "Stop spinning that radio; you're going to break it!" "Susan, will you stop spinning the dice and take your turn." "Stop spinning the spinner; we want to play the game!" "Stop, Susan, you're going to ruin the record player, turning the turntable by hand!" "Sue, you talk about the same things over and over." "Susie, we are tired of you asking us the same questions. We already answered it. No, the answer didn't change!" "Susan, get out of that room and socialize!" "Sue, why are you going on and on about the same thing? We are not even talking about that anymore." "Susan is so damn stubborn." "Why aren't you emotionally sensitive to other people?" "Do you believe everything people say?" "You take things people say way too literally!" "You take things too seriously!" "You have no sense of humor!" "Nobody understands what the hell you are talking about!" "What is wrong with you?" "Susan, stop making that noise!" "Susan, will you shut up!!!!" "Listen to what I said are you deaf?" "You are a blockhead!" "You are a half-wit!" "Why do you do the same things all the time?" "Why do you eat the same things all the time?" "Don't talk to Susan. She won't understand!" "Susan, we don't want to hear your problems!" "Will you stop organizing everything!" "You're weird!" "You're odd!" "You're stupid!" "You're a retard!" "Sue, you are so slow. You're not getting it!" "You're always lost; that's why I love you!" "God, you're so naive!" "Geez, you're a moron!" "Stop talking with your hands and tell me what you want!" "Close your mouth! You look like an idiot!" "Stop pinching!" "You are so exasperating!" "You're crazy!" "What is Susan so upset about?" "Calm down!" "You're a pain!" "Stop pointing at things and speak up if you want something!" "Well Susan, we thought you were possessed!" "You never did like change!" "Susan, you are going to have to adjust to change in order to survive!" "You are so task oriented." "Do you do everything people tell you to do?" "Susie, do you remember everything people say?" "Susie, you have a remarkable memory!" "You're like a computer!" "You need to be yourself; you are a chronic people pleaser!" "Don't touch her; she jumps!" Comments like these or others would send an automatic wave of scrambling. The behaviors you want to change would become more intense, or an emotional outburst would follow. If you are displeased about us, then we are displeased with you but for different reasons. Ours are "Why?" "You don't make sense to me." "Your words hurt me." "Your actions hurt me." "Your tone of voice hurts me." "Your facial expression (if we can make eye contact) scares me." "Leave me alone!" We may look at you with intense anger or wave our arms in a panicky motion. We may push things, kick, scream, bite, pinch, cry uncontrollably, or withdraw. Physical contact becomes unbearable. Remember, we are scrambled. The words used by others cause friction in our brain circui
