There was a time when all was right in Taylor Dresden’s world—that is, as long as she was on the baseball diamond, pitching with all her heart.

 Jackie O: On the Couch
By Alma H. Bond, Ph.D.
Jackie O: On the Couch is the story of Jackie Kennedy Onassis as she might have written it.
This is not just another biography. For the first time, Jackie O: On the Couch highlights Jackie’s life from her own perspective, as imagined by author Dr. Alma Bond, a psychoanalyst and long-time student of Jackie lore.
The facts are all historically correct, as are the ideas, the Washington intrigue and politics, and the examination of the role of women in society and in the White House. Jackie speaks of her need to record her story truthfully—to replace the hodgepodge of lies published during her lifetime. Read

A nation where software companies have developed and successfully marketed “fantasy government” games in which players take on the roles of cabinet members and congressmen—passing laws, handling crises, and solving problems with street ideas that are neither Democratic nor Republican, but truly independent.

Meet Hank Collins, an astute, gutsy, and funny 13-year-old
who's just finished the seventh grade at a public school
in Baltimore's affluent suburbs. But all is not trouble-free
for Hank. He must contend with a troubled family, an
alien school, and a world otherwise booby-trapped with
alluring but perilous possibilities.
Hank is the page-turning, contemporary, coming-of-age
story he tells of growing up amidst this wreckage during
a dangerous and suspenseful summer. From him, we hear
the events of his life. We stand by him on the baseball
field and at the dinner tables of his remarried parents.
We walk with him into an epic, appalling, yet believable
teenage party. We share with him an astounding encounter
with adult weekend warriors. We see not just his confusions
and dismays, but his grit, his honesty, and his vulnerability.
We like him, and root for him, and care about him. >>Read

MAN IN THE MIDDLE
By Ken Morris
You are invited to enter the world of high stakes and
low morals insider trading, where winning no matter
how it's done is measured by how much money you have

situation that soon spins out of control. Come experience
what happens when a young man with a good heart is tempted
with unimaginable wealth; when a love affair gets tangled
with long-buried family secrets; when a persistent SEC
agent matches wits with ruthless businesspeople who
think nothing of murder of individuals and of entire
countries' economies! >>Read

Charmain Burns rises from Florida white trash to Hollywood

by the reporter's editor and a maniac stalker. These
actions come at the worst possible time, for Charmain
