My name is Autumn Spring Winters. Right? What sane person names their kid after not only one season of the year, but three? Well, the last name was inherited, but still. Nobody ever said my mom was in her right mind, though. I often wonder what life would be like if she wasn’t a tweaker. But, you know, that’s just a daydream. Reality is she’s a meth addict. She’s been an addict for as long as I can remember. Sometimes I like to believe her when she says she’s clean. Sometimes, when she’s high, we get along great. Sometimes we even talk. When she’s coming down, though, it’s best to just hide. My name is Autumn Spring Winters and Dream Smashers is my story. It’s a love story, but most of all, it’s about letting go. Readers of Ellen Hopkins, Laurie Halse Anderson, Jay Asher and Leslie Connor will enjoy reading Dream Smashers.

In todays society of the hustle and bustle of busy life, we so often miss not only the greatest pleasures of life, but, also the greatest lessons of life as well. We are forever submerged in an ocean of consciousness and possibility, however, this ocean of consciousness must exist within us as well, for it must in order for us to exist. Without taking the time that is essential to learning from these wonderful things, we can easily go from the craddle to the grave without ever experiencing the richest treasures in life which possess the power to immensely enhance our existence as well as the lives of others. It is the authors deepest and most sincere desire that the reader would not merely gaze upon the material superficially, but rather, take the time necessary to meditate in all earnestness with the desire and purpose to reap the fullest benefits. When things are handed to us, though much appreciated, they simply do not possess the magnificent value and joy that comes from what one discovers for him or herself. Equivalent to digging up and discovering a wonderful treasure for yourself which now forever belongs to you, it is yours. Life is a gift that knows no equal, a gift which is clearly intended to be fully enjoyed. Taking time from our busy lives to notice the things that truly matter the most to us will enrich our life, our family, and our community. For those who perceive such grand truths bear full responsibility for sharing such profound knowledge with others, but most of all, we must bequeath these precious gems to our children for their greatest advantage.

From Homer to Tim O’Brien, war literature remains largely the domain of male writers, and traditional narratives imply that the burdens of war are carried by men. But women and children disproportionately suffer the consequences of conflict: famine, disease, sexual abuse, and emotional trauma caused by loss of loved ones, property, and means of subsistence. Collateral Damage tells the stories of those who struggle on the margins of armed conflict or who attempt to rebuild their lives after a war. Bringing together the writings of female authors from across the world, this collection animates the wartime experiences of women as military mothers, combatants, supporters, war resisters, and victims. Their stories stretch from Rwanda to El Salvador, Romania to Sri Lanka, Chile to Iraq. Spanning fiction, poetry, drama, essay, memoir, and reportage, the selections are contextualized by brief author commentaries. The first collection to embrace so wide a range of contemporary authors from such diverse backgrounds, Collateral Damage seeks to validate and shine a light on the experiences of women by revealing the consequences of war endured by millions whose voices are rarely heard.

Life is all about choices. The ones you get to make and the ones you dont. You can choose the friends you have and the people you want to employ. You can choose your battles but you cant always choose your enemies. You can choose your goals and your dreams although these things dont always choose you. You can choose what you want to eat and where you want to shop. There is however, three choices you cant make. You cant choose who you fall in love with or who falls in love with you. You also cant choose your family.How well do you know your closest friends or people you choose to have in your life? Your lovers? Your own family? The people who claim to be your friends? Even the people youve just met? Would you do to them what they would try to do to you? Would you try to take their boyfriends? Or would you simply talk about them behind their back? Theres a token few who are loyal in that world. What will your friends do for you when the chips are down? This is where Lexi lives, right in the middle of her chaotic events. Everything that happens always begins with something she says, knows, or does, often with disastrous results. She sees everything through her purple tinted sunglasses. What will happen when she loses the glasses and starts seeing things for what they really are? In a strangely humorous way, live the ups and downs of her and her friends romances. Will she choose the nice guy or the bad boy? Will the nice guy become a jerk or will the bad boy become nice? How do people react to situations they arent used to being in? Welcome to Lexis world. Her life is sent through a wringer with Church Boy Blaine, her rock star boyfriend Izzy, a famous dad she didnt know she had, and everyone else in her life. People arent ever what they seem to be. Just look at the chapter titles. That should be enough to want to know more. I would call this tale a twisted dark romance with a keen sense of humor. Something like a warped modern day Romeo and Juliet with all the modern problems. Sorry, no vampires here. Once you start reading you probably wont even miss them. There are plenty of bloodsuckers of a different kind. Careful, you might even learn something. If nothing else, youll get sucked into these colorful and sometimes unlikable peoples lives. Its all about love and hate and the thin line in between. If youre the least bit curious open it to any page and read. Youll want to keep reading to find out what happens. Youll get addicted, youll want more. I hope.

Never one to mince words, Woods offers perspectives about marriage and monogamy that you wont hear on daytime television. If youre wondering why certain couples always seem like they are sharing a sexy little secret while most others are trapped in habitually contentious Mars/Venus relationships, UnLearn Vanilla Marriage will tell you things that the self-help industry doesnt want you to know. This is the definitive book for anyone who needs help repairing the damage that conventional wisdom does to a marriage. - David Harris Harris Media Group Inc.
