An excerpt from Where Dreams Are Born, a Kindle Unlimited book.
Jack pried the child’s dimpled arms from his neck, kissed her sisters, and rumpled Tommy’s hair. “Where’s your mom, sport?” “Upstairs trying on her new clothes.” “Daddy,” Linda said, tugging at his arm. “Can you take us to the park after supper?” “Can’t, honey, I have a racquetball game tonight.” “Tomorrow?” “Can’t then either, babe. I promised Tommy we’d work on his pitching arm.” The little girl’s face clouded over. “Honey, I’m sorry. I already promised Tommy. Besides, Daddy needs time to do just guy stuff. I’ll take all of you to the park some other time, okay?” Linda’s bottom lip bulged. “Ohh-kay,” she said, drawing out each forlorn syllable. Hoping to cheer her up, Jack tickled her under the chin. “But, hey, we’re all going to the beach on Sunday. That’ll be fun.” Linda returned his announcement with a feeble smile, Suzy greeted it with a delighted shriek, and Jodie merely wrinkled her button nose and grinned. Jack grinned as well, amazed by his children’s diverse personalities. Linda, independent and controlled, expressed her feelings subtly if at all; Suzy, abounding with exuberance, shared every emotion the instant she experienced it, vocally, animatedly, and uninhibitedly; sweet, even-tempered Jodie fell somewhere in between, not as aloof as one sister, not as vociferous as the other. A real mixed bag, he thought as he climbed the stairs, unlike the children he grew up with. In the foster care system, most of the kids learned early on to rein in their emotions, wary of showing anger when ragged lest they become the butt of every prank. And God help the poor tyke who couldn’t control a quivery lip and brimming eyes. Even joy was suspect, a kid sooner scorning that which brought him pleasure than risk having it snatched away by mean-spirited playmates. *********** http://www.amazon.com/Where-Dreams-A...dp/B00EFG7X5A/ |

New Non- Fiction Book- The Power of Simple available for FREE
New non-fiction book to Transform Education for FREE for the next 24 hours.
__________________________________________________ _____________ My new book, "The Power of Simple" which helps teacher and school leaders transform their schools through simple strategies is available on Amazon today. It's been very well reviewed so far and the editorial review below was written by a leader in innovative education at High Tech High. Find it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EAIDBC6 Description: While the world has propelled itself in the 21st Century with new technology, innovation, and ways of doing things, our schools are having a hard time catching up. Schools still shuffle hundreds of students daily to classrooms with inflexible learning spaces, an outdated curriculum, and work disconnected from the real world. What if as an educator you had the power to change that? What if you could transform student learning and still have time to cover your standards? What if someone who has made radical changes in education provided you with five simple strategies that you could implement in your school tomorrow? The power of SIMPLE will inspire you to make those changes by documenting Kyle Wagner's entire journey in creating Futures Academy- a school that changes the way we educate. It is a school that adapts schedules every week depending on the learning experience; has students presenting regularly to experts in the field; and integrates learning around students exploring their passions and creating work of value in the real world. This book will empower you to create your own vision for school and provide simple and practical strategies to make that vision come to life. You will no longer be paralyzed by fear, but empowered by the fact that you can create real change, and it's not that hard. Editorial Review: Wagner's excellent advice to school innovators is to keep it simple. He follows his own advice to great effect in this lively volume, focusing on key aspects of school transformation: clear vision, purposeful use of space, personalization, curriculum integration, community-building, and connection with the physical and temporal world beyond school. At every turn, he fills this framework with practical wisdom and concrete strategies, born of his experience teaching and leading in schools on both sides of the Pacific, for addressing the challenges of contemporary education. |

Truce of Two Polars: Psychological Thriller Novel
Hi everyone! I'm Audrey, and I'm a newly published author. I just published a psychological thriller novel called Truce of Two Polars. The book only costs $2.99. [Edited - MODERATOR] Reviews are greatly appreciated, as well! You might already know this, but you don't need an actual kindle to download e-books. You can use the kindle app that can be downloaded on most iOS devices. Anyways, here's the description for my book:
Normal is a term reserved for those who live the average life filled with simple ups and downs. And that’s what Caine thinks he is. He doesn’t have parents – his mother died at childbirth and his father’s death is a bit of a mystery – but Aunt Julia raised him fairly well, if a bit strictly. He goes to school, studies, and hangs out with his best friend. His friend’s name is Jared, and he’s a ghost. But Jared's an exception to Caine's ordinary life. He was the only exception until Caine stumbled upon truths that turned his world around. As a result, he finds himself in a ward questioning again what really happened that night his father died, and he begins to doubt the trustworthiness of those around him and his own mind. Caine didn’t end up in there by accident. He almost killed his aunt, and the thing is, he can’t remember anything. Here's the link to my book- https://www.amazon.com/Truce-Two-Pol...+of+two+polars Thanks! Last edited by Dr. Drib; 07-02-2016 at 07:19 AM. Reason: I forgot to add some details. |

Dan Brown Meets the Grimm Brothers
Hello,
It's an honor to be here, thank you one and all. I'd like to present my book, which received a three-star review on Amazon, a review which I paid ten dollars for, thanks again BookMarketingDivas! If someone I paid to read it gave it three stars, just imagine how much you'll love it! This book has it all! Only it isn't a novel, it's non-fiction, but it is out there, so it could all be in my mind, which would make it fiction, right? Should the confused ravings of a deluded madman be considered fiction? Or evidence perhaps, of mysteries so alien and all-encompassing as to drive any who dared to contemplate them to madness and self-publication. (insert appropriate emoticon here)! FREE BOOK July 9th! An ancient Latin text, the Ad Herennium, lays down instructions for building effective Memory Systems. These instructions just happen to mirror one of the central images of Christianity as found in the Gospels. Were the Gospels constructed to act as a type of literary memory system? Could it be that the authors were adepts at the Art of Memory? Perhaps the tri-fold nature of the Synoptic Gospels is not a historical accident but is a method of encrypting the data contained within the miraculous tales of Jesus the Wonder Worker. More importantly, perhaps this correspondence is a signifier to anyone familiar with the Art of Memory, that here is something screaming for attention, begging to be decrypted, promising, knock, and the door will be opened. The Gnostic Notebook is an examination of hidden layers of meaning uncovered within various classic and ancient texts including the Grimm Brothers' fairy tales and the Gospels. The meanings are decrypted using a variety of steganographic and cryptographic techniques. These hidden readings are not the usual esoteric or Freudian interpretations; rather they seem to reveal actual, undeniable information encoded into the texts ages ago. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TGC9OAA Last edited by Gnostradamus; 07-09-2016 at 09:06 AM. |

Hi All,
My science-fiction thriller Black00 is out on Amazon, Kobo (soon to come to Barnes & Noble and iTunes) for a promotional price of $0.99. For a limited time you can also get it free on my website for an honest review. It was professionally edited for both content (plot) and style. Quote:
Update July 6, 2016: Just a quick update to say that currently you can get this thriller FREE from Kobo. The Kindle/Amazon price is still $0.99. Enjoy! Last edited by Andreiuta; 07-06-2016 at 11:21 PM. |
