Download or read book Very Nice Funerals written by Jennifer Cruise and published by Cool Gus Publishing. This book was released on 2024-10-25 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rose Malone’s future is looking pretty bright except for three things: Her daughter is struggling with PTSD after being kidnapped, her lover is hitting the Appalachian Trail and taking his dog with him, and the rumor that there might be a million bucks in the building she just inherited has spread, and now every money-hungry ex-spy in her weird little town is bringing her cheap flowers and offering to search the place for her. Max Reddy needs to get back to the Appalachian Trail with his dog, Maggs, leaving his memories of the work he did for decades and the town of Rocky Start behind; it’s hard to recover from a life of undercover work when you’re in a community of ex-agents. But that community also has a woman and her daughter who he cares about more than he thought possible. Still, he made it his last mission to finish walking the entire trail, and he’s not the kind of guy who doesn’t finish what he starts. Rose understands why Max needs to go, but then there’s a death in town, and suddenly Rose and Max are once again dealing with a town full of retired spies and assassins, one of whom may have decided to go back to work. The targets seem to be the retired agents who may know things somebody wants buried, literally: the voluptuous bakery owner, the even more voluptuous femme fatale, the bitchy beekeeper, the hinky pharmacist, the obnoxious exterminator, the dignified funeral home operators, the divorcing postal workers, the sweet little old assassin with the support llama, and most annoying of all, Max. Very Nice Funerals: Somebody is taking “cleaning up the town” to a much lower level.

Download or read book My Dream to Trample Aids written by Don Carrel and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2011-11 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don Carrel has been living with AIDS since 1995. He suspects he was infected with HIV in 1981. Thirty years later, less than 2 percent of people with HIV have lived long enough to share their stories. In 1995, while lying in a hospital bed with Pneumocystis pneumonia, the most common form of death for someone with AIDS, Don had a riveting dream that dramatically altered his life and, perhaps the future lives of more than 100,000 teenagers. After making a full recovery, Don set out to teach young people what they needed to know about HIV prevention so that they wouldn't wind up in his shoes. His lofty goal: to stomp out AIDS. After 16 years, Don has collected thousands of thank-you letters from teens and adults who have heard his compelling presentations. Today, Don hopes to reach an even wider audience with his book, My Dream to Trample AIDS. Don's original goal was to put his presentation in book form, but it ended up being much more. Don says, "My story is about love, friends, family, grief, despair, hope, death and faith." It's also a detailed primer on HIV, as expressed in the subtitle: "What everyone of any age should know about HIV/AIDS." Don devotes a chapter to the history of HIV/AIDS, including the compelling theory as to why the virus first hit the gay community in the United States before it spread into the general population. Don's book summarizes current statistics on HIV/AIDS. It warns of populations most at risk of infection today: people of color, youth and even the elderly. It instructs readers on how to be tested for HIV. In very frank language, the book describes the risks of various sexual activities and even how to use a condom "properly." Don chronicles HIV treatment and his drug regimen for the past 25 years, including the cost, side effects and possibility, or lack thereof, of a cure for HIV/AIDS. Most compelling are Don's gut-wrenching stories about how HIV/AIDS has affected him and the profound sense of loss he's experienced repeatedly with the deaths of many friends from AIDS. He explains what it feels like to have HIV/AIDS and how it has shaped all facets of his life: physically, emotionally and spiritually. He asks his closest family members and friends to share their feelings when they first learned of his diagnosis. He also includes hundreds of quotes from students who have heard him speak. Last but not least, Don explains why he believes he has survived - and thrived - thanks to a powerful directive from "the messenger." Don says, "Having HIV is a huge blessing in my life." Don writes that this experience has helped him make a dramatic shift in how he views himself and has strengthened his belief in God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this compelling new time-slip mystery, a little girl goes missing from her family’s castle in the Thousand Islands of New York. Eighty-five years later, a journalist teams up with a woman living on Koster Isle to find out what happened to Poppy, once and for all. 1907. On the eve of her fifth birthday, Poppy Pendleton is tucked safely in her bed, listening to her parents entertain New York’s gilded society in their Thousand Islands castle; the next morning, she is gone, and her father is found dead in his smoking room. 1992. Though Chloe Ridell lives in the shadows of Poppy’s castle, now in ruins, she has little interest in the mystery that still captivates tourists and locals alike. She is focused on preserving the island she inherited from her grandparents and reviving their vintage candy shop. Until the day a girl named Emma shows up on Chloe’s doorstep, with few possessions, save a tattered scrapbook that connects her to the Pendleton family. When a reporter arrives at Chloe’s store, asking questions about her grandfather, Chloe decides to help him dig into a past she’d thought best left buried. The haunting truth about Poppy, they soon discover, could save Emma’s life, so Chloe and Logan must work together to investigate exactly what happened long ago on Koster Isle. “[A] propulsive time-swapping tale. . . .
