She lives with her childhood best friend, Rosanna Clinton, and her daughter Daisyntha Purvis in a house Dave, a friend she looks up to as an elder brother helped her secure.

Would she be able to fight back or would she run away again? Find out in Na(Tasha)! ____________________________________________ My head throbbed and the floor below me was ice cold. I let out a whimper as I slowly opened my eyes. The room I was in was pitch black. 'Where was I? DAISY! Where's daisy!' I tried to move but realized soon that my hands were tied behind my back. My legs were tied together too. With all my strength I sat up. Feeling a wall behind me, I leaned back a little, my upper back and shoulders touching the wall. Resting my head against the wall I thought long and hard trying to remember what happened last and how I ended up here... That was how she ended up when Tasha tried to run from her past. She instead got swallowed by them. How did she end up in this very situation? Locked up on a cold floor with no way to escape? How was she going to get out? Having feared fighting and confrontation would she be able to fight the demons off? With time ticking away, would she be able to save her daughter in time before she gets shipped to some place unknown?

From the author of Henry and Clara, a dazzling, hilarious novel that captures the heart and soul of New York in the Jazz Age. Bandbox is a hugely successful magazine, a glamorous monthly cocktail of 1920s obsessions from the stock market to radio to gangland murder. Edited by the bombastic Jehoshaphat “Joe” Harris, the magazine has a masthead that includes, among many others, a grisly, alliterative crime writer; a shy but murderously determined copyboy; and a burned-out vaudeville correspondent who’s lovesick for his loyal, dewy assistant. As the novel opens, the defection of Harris’s most ambitious protégé has plunged Bandbox into a death struggle with a new competitor on the newsstand. But there’s more to come: a sabotaged fiction contest, the NYPD vice squad, a subscriber’s kidnapping, and a film-actress cover subject who makes the heroines of Fosse’s Chicago look like the girls next door. While Harris and his magazine careen from comic crisis to make-or-break calamity, the novel races from skyscraper to speakeasy, hops a luxury train to Hollywood, and crashes a buttoned-down dinner with Calvin Coolidge. Thomas Mallon has given us a madcap and poignant book that brilliantly portrays the gaudiest American decade of them all.

An inspiring companion for your journey through grief. Grief is closely associated with death, but can be triggered when we lose anything with which we have an emotional connection. Much that can be read about the grieving process is outdated and can serve an injustice to our rapidly evolving, modern society. In conjunction with recent medical and societal advancements, new and complex presentations of grief have arisen. As a result, our own journey through grief must also evolve in order for us to effectively heal and even flourish as a result of our experiences surrounding loss. Delivering an eclectic blend of medical and spiritual observations and teachings, Good Grief: The A to Z Approach of Modern Day Grief Healing addresses life as well as death, and provides a practical guidebook for your unique grief journey. It goes beyond the conventional views that we are just a physical body, aiming to enlighten and encourage the reader to use the tools within the pages to bring about a collateral beauty that reveals great strength, personal growth, and spiritual emergence.

Nine out of ten dentists agree, Mazey Eddings's rom-com A Brush with Love makes your smile brighter!* *not scientifically proven Harper is anxiously awaiting placement into a top oral surgery residency program when she crashes (literally) into Dan. Harper would rather endure a Novocaine-free root canal than face any distractions, even one this adorable. A first-year dental student with a family legacy to contend with, Dan doesn’t have the same passion for pulling teeth that Harper does. Though he finds himself falling for her, he is willing to play by Harper’s rules. So with the greatest of intentions and the poorest of follow-throughs, the two set out to be “just friends.” But as they get to know each other better, Harper fears that trading fillings for feelings may make her lose control and can't risk her carefully ordered life coming undone, no matter how drool-worthy Dan is. Blood, gore, and extra-long roots? No problem. The idea of falling in love? Torture.

Opposites attract doesn’t explain why the construction worker can’t stop thinking about the flamboyant actor. Instant attraction maybe a thing, but Tom is most definitely male, which isn’t opposite enough for Ben, who’d always considered himself very straight. Shaken by the news that two of his colleagues are married - to each other - Ben can’t stop thinking about it. Macho construction workers aren’t gay. They just aren’t. Ben knows he’s being ridiculous, but he can’t control his thoughts. And he can’t stop thinking about the cute guy he met in their home. Ben considers himself liberal and broadminded but also straight. And he’s not a kid, he’s a grown man with a job, responsibilities, and an ex-wife. As a single dad, he shouldn’t be obsessing over gay men. But if he did fall in love with A MAN how would he tell his family, his friends, and his young son? Working his way through casual hookups raises Tom’s spirits after a long dark period of depression and grief. He is slowly getting over the heartache of his past and coming to accept that he’ll never find a love like that again. So, he doesn’t expect to be swept away by a straight-acting, flirty scaffolder. Tom has enough baggage of his own. Should he spend more time with Ben? And Is it time for Tom to ditch the low-paid work, pick up the threads of his life, and resume his own professional acting career? This standalone romance novel shares overlapping characters with Our Secret Wedding. Tread the Boards is a feel-good, love-at-first-sight, low-angst gay romance. The 55,000 words contain a lot of kissing.

The story takes off as most stories do. I met a girl. She was gorgeous, smart and funny. I didn't think I deserved her. I did what any rational guy would do when put in that situation. I turned to a life of crime. How bad can selling drugs be? It was only pot, which is hardly considered a drug anymore. To some people, its the curer of all things evil, like cancer and taxes. I just wanted some extra cash. If you have ever caught yourself thinking the same way, you should definitely hear my story. Things obviously go sideways. I was an idiot.
