Off the court, tennis star Jason Cartwright's playboy image is taking a public beating. On the court, he's down forty-love. A knee injury is shutting down his game, and the paparazzi are splashing his love life on every magazine. A comeback is in order, but the makeover he needs to save his faltering career is in the hands of the woman he loved and left fifteen years ago.
While single-mom, Izzy Connors, sees people for who they really are through the lens of her camera, even without it, she knows Jason isn't the star he appears to be. Although his charm and good looks haven't dimmed since he broke her heart, all she sees is his wasted talent and playboy lifestyle.
Can Izzy put the past behind her and help Jason get his game, and his image, back on track? Or will the click of her camera shatter his world as well as his heart?

A tale of young love and adventure in a place far from home; Jonathan flew to the Philippines to experience true love and have an experience of a lifetime. At 25, heavy in debt and looking for a new life he decided to do something daring. He bought a round trip ticket to the Philippines to meet a woman he met online. They where the best of friends and things were progressing and he thought it was enough to conquer his fear in a land he's never been to, to meet someone he only knew online with the hopes and dreams that everything would turn out well. They shared their first kiss on Valentine’s Day and it has been bliss ever since.
Share in a true story of overcoming the odds and conquering your fear for an experience of a lifetime. This book was written to share our story of love and how anyone can do the same thing. I went through a few scams and heart breaks before finding true love. Perseverance and faith in something better will only come if you step out of your comfort zone and go after your dreams!
If you really want to find someone special, you need to be willing to fly to the ends of the world to be with them. I literally did this and have no regrets. I wrote this story to share my wonderful experiences in a country I had never been to. I will provide insight to those looking to do the same thing. Are you looking to find a wonderful Filipina woman to marry and fall in love with? Love the thrill and enjoyment of Philippine culture? I will give you an inside look into a slice of Philippine life.
I hope you enjoy this book, I wrote it while deployed to Kuwait on my off time. I'm looking forward to writing a second book in this series which details our wedding and hopefully provide valuable information for those looking to get married to a Filipina woman and going through the process of getting a visa and everything needed. I will also include travel guides and useful information for those wanting to travel to the Philippines for the first time, it's a wonderful country. Thanks for reading, Salamat!

A Broken System: Examining the Clark County Department of Family Services
A termination of parental rights has been termed to be akin to the death penalty. In society, parents that lose their children to the child protective services system are often viewed as child abusers and neglectful parents.
But what if a parent lost their parental rights permanently because they were poor? That is what happened in 2008, when my husband and I lost our parental rights due to a "lack of resources."
In this system, poverty is all too often confused with neglect. And in Clark county where children are removed from their homes at a much higher rate than normal, children are being doubly failed. Children that could remain with their parents are being torn from loving arms forever, and the children that do need help all too often aren't receiving it.
A Broken System is not only the true story of what my family went through when dealing with DFS in Clark County, it is also a look into why Clark County DFS has been called a broken system that creates desperate parents and where children have no rights.

Tripping Over Akron: Alcoholism & Insanity
In 1999 when my only child moved from Ohio to Oregon it ocurred to me that one day she might appreciate having a journal describing the events leading up to her unusual birth. I never married Katie's father because of something terrible he did to me in 1970 and I never discussed the incident with anyone. When Katie married and was expecting her first child I emailed her father to tell him we were to become grandparents. This led to a rekindling of our love/lust for each other and nearly destroyed both our marriages as well as my sanity. After another failed suicide attempt, quite a bit of psychotherapy, and a return to AA, it was suggested I continue my journal and elaborate on my experiences living the hippy lifestyle with my sister Carol during the late 1960's and 70's
Thanks to my alcoholism and mental illness my life could have been written into a soap opera. Throughout my adult years I've frequently heard, "You should write a book." I finally took that advice. I credit my sense of humor with seeing me through my worst catastrophes and I hope the reader understands that laughter gets a lot of the credit for saving my life.

However, once that story or game has ended, you will slip back into the day to day grind of the real world. Imagine being stuck in the world of make believe 24 hours a day, 7 days a week because the outside world is too confusing and painful. This is how the real world feels like for Christian Traverse.
Inside you will be introduced to the world of one extraordinary boy, who at first glance, you will not find anything unusual about his sandy blond hair, his big, deep blue eyes, or even the long, dark lashes that would be the envy of any woman. You will not be taken aback by his crooked grin or the bubbly personality that can make just about anyone instantly fall in love with him. In fact, unless you know what to look for, you are not likely to notice anything different about him at all, but he is different. This world we live in is confusing, overwhelming and painful because he has a condition known as autism.

Short Description
Torn From the Inside Out is a literary narrative domestic violence memoir in which the incorporation of literary techniques such as the use of symbolism and skillfully placed metaphors, along with well-developed characterizations, delivers a powerful emotional impact.
Synopsis
Given away to her aged and wise Uncle Robert and Aunt Molly at age 3 ½, Sara spent ten years on the ‘flower bed of Eden’ being lavished with love and attention until death took its toll and Sara married an abusive man named Thomas Niles when she was only 16. Niles invites us to enter into her lifelong odyssey by the words: 'Let the journey begin', and so it does as the reader enters into a formerly forbidden zone.
Excerpt:
“Thunder rattled the window- panes two stories high and lightning split the sky, it was as if the whole world was in turmoil that night. My nerves were keyed up as tight as piano strings and in a sudden moment of stillness and silence it felt as though my heartbeat was amplified ten times over. He was over a hundred pounds greater than I; nearly a foot taller and I knew he could move his muscled body into unbelievable sprints. Rain started falling in torrents, while the storm raged outside. I was not afraid of the storms of nature; it was the storm inside this night that I knew I might not survive”
…February 13th, 1987, the night of Sara Niles’ flight with her five small children.

Well, we will make sure that he doesn’t hurt you again or anything. If he tries anything else, we will go to the police station that is a few blocks away from here. “That’s good to know that you are really true friends and not fake friends after money. I also know that you guys wouldn’t use me. We have been friends for a very long time since kindergarten, I believe. In that time, you guys have stood up to bullies that made fun of me and everything else. I am so glad to have true friends.”

Malla was my mother who died of cancer in 1991 at the age of 71. She never remembered my birthday and was an avid follower of Elvis.
On the morning of her funeral I was angered - asking why she never remembered me on that special day.
As I began to shave, that's when I noticed it: I had Malla's nose! What a special gift - and then I realized it is not always about money! I love you Malla!

Loving the Dandelions: serving God's children where they are
We live in a dangerous, scary world. Most kids are lucky enough to be sheltered from the worst of it. Unfortunately, for far too many the world is a confusing and scary place. This book is dedicated to the kids of the world who are marginalized and hurting, for any reason, and to the ordinary people who give their own time and energy to try to serve them. If we want to change the direction of society, we all need to step in and do our part. It can not be acceptable for one child to fall through the cracks.
This book is a collection of stories and lessons learned in over 20 years of dealing with God's children; many of them broken and hurting. These stories have grown out of the time I spent as a counselor at a camp for children with special needs, a Sunday School teacher and, most recently, helping at a crisis shelter, providing temporary respite for preschool children.
This book is not for the professional psychologist but for the everyday person trying to serve God's children they best they can. Hopefully it will give some ideas and perspective when dealing with kids that don't react, for whatever reason, in ways we are familiar with.

Child abuse and domestic violence against men are two related issue I have been trying to talk about for nearly forty years. Up until now child abuse has been an issue that was acknowledged but treated as a minor abortion. Domestic violence against men is an issue that is completely ignored. Battered husbands just do not exist according to our society so the millions of men who are victims of domestic violence are completely invisible.
Both groups need a voice. This book is intended to be a continuous work in progress. It is an eBook I have started with one story with the invitation for anyone with a story of abuse to send it to me. As contributions are received it the book will be updated.
If the eBook reaches one hundred thousand words it will be split into 2 books and so on so that the more contributions the greater the number of books. At appropriate times the books will be submitted to the Government and Opposition.

But in the end, I came to clearly understand what it felt like to be one of The Last of the Mohicans. The final bit of my blood passed away in 1994. I was 41 years old. The lingering aftermath is nothing less than a void ⦠a sphere of darkness. Itâs like traveling through oneâs life completely covered in a shroud, visible only to oneself. Every morning, every evening, surrounded by friends, it doesnât matter ⦠if Iâm laughing, itâs fake. Smiling, itâs fake. Everything seems to be counterfeit. The essence of the natural world is a long ago, blurred memory for me.
Folks that have suffered a similar fate as mine do all sorts of things to maintain some kind of meaning in their lives. For me, I discovered that writing about these things brought me peace, and even on occasion, joy; but ultimately, we all do what we have to do.
Along those lines, this is a true story about my departed extended family and a still aboveground best friend, all of which ended up on my memoirâs proverbial, editing room floor, under my direction.

Many people wrongly feel they should be 'tolerant' of gay marriage and not oppose it, even though it is not something they would do personally. This book explains the falsity of this notion. Gays won the legal right to be left alone in the 2003 case of Lawrence v. Texas. While many feel uncomfortable about opposing gay marriage because they think this will somehow 'force' their view of marriage on gays, they need to realize that gays do not feel uncomfortable in forcing their views at all. Gays are no longer on the defensive, and the battleground of gay marriage is not a neutral one. Their goal with gay marriage is to proactively compel acceptance of gayness as normal.

Some friends are more memorable than others, such as Steven and Linda. After the Priest gave him his last rites, Steven continued to live. And not until decades later, we understood why.
Excerpt: “Mother snapped her fingers. ‘Get down on your knees,’ she said while pointing to the floor. We knew she meant it by the stern look on her face. In her bedroom, we gathered closer together in front of the Virgin Mary and quickly kneeled. She lit the candle beside the statue, performed the sign of the cross, immediately knelt next to us, and said, ‘Keep in mind what I told you: each time you remember a person who has passed on, their spirit reads your thoughts. He’s close to death, but to help save him, we want God to hear our loud prayers . . . . and that will shower us with hope.'"
