"Where do you get your ideas?" And what happens when the well runs dry? If you spend any length of time writing fiction, it eventually happens to all authors—you hit a wall in your story and you aren't sure what to do next. More accurately, you don't know what your characters are going to do next. Even if you outlined your story within an inch of your characters' lives, now your book's bottomed out and blown a tire on a plothole in the center of your writing road, and you're stuck at midnight in the middle of nowhere, in the rain, with no cell coverage and no help in sight. So to speak. Or, worse, you're losing sleep over a looming deadline and panic's setting in. Now what? Let's blow some sh*t up! Or…not. But yeah, we will. We're going to blow the sh*t out of your writer's block and get your story back on track. Maybe you're just starting to work on your book and need some ideas of what tortures to inflict on your characters. Hello, friend! You're also in the right place. This book isn't a generic list of possible plot points and story prompts scraped off Reddit's AITA sub. It's a blueprint for you to use regardless of your story's genre—whether you're writing a short story, a novel, a play, or a screenplay. It's a guide to teach you how to change your plot's flat tire, puzzle your way out of your problem, give the finger to writer's block, and keep readers turning pages all the way until THE END. Award-winning author Lesli Richardson—and her USA Today Bestseller pen name Tymber Dalton—has penned over 250 titles and counting in diverse genres from mainstream science fiction, to urban fantasy, to romance. Learn her tips and secrets to plotting your way through your writer's block without ripping out what's left of your hair…or drinking your poor liver into safewording!

D.L. Hughley calls it like he sees it, discussing everything from dating to former president Barack Obama with sharp, thoughtful commentary “The best book since The Hunger Games. First he was a King of Comedy; now he’s the king of comedy authors.”—Chris Rock The American dream is in dire need of a wake-up call. A f*cked up society is like an addict: if you are in denial, then things are going to keep getting worse until you hit bottom. According to D. L. Hughley, that's the direction in which America is headed. In I Want You to Shut the F*ck Up, D.L. explains how we've become a nation of fat sissies playing Chicken Little, but in reverse: The sky is falling, but we're supposed to act like everything's fine. D.L. just points out the sobering facts: there is no standard of living by which we are the best. In terms of life expectancy, we're 36th—tied with Cuba; in terms of literacy, we're 20th—behind Kazakhstan. Things are bad now and they're only going to get worse. Unless, of course, you sit down, shut the f*ck up, and listen to what D. L. Hughley has to say. I Want You to Shut the F*ck Up is a slap to the political senses, a much needed ass-kicking of the American sense of entitlement. In these pages, D. L. Hughley calls it like he sees it, offering his hilarious yet insightful thoughts on: • Our supposedly post-racial society • The similarities between America the superpower and the drunk idiot at the bar • Why apologizing is not the answer to controversy, especially when you meant what you said • Why civil rights leaders are largely to blame for black people not being represented on television • And more!

Bob Pisani is Senior Markets Correspondent for CNBC and has spent the past 25 years on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. He has been on the front line of finance for all the major events of the last quarter century, including the Asian Financial Crisis, the dot-com bubble and collapse, the terrorist attacks of 9/11, and the Great Financial Crisis. What was it like to witness these events firsthand, at the center of the financial world? In Shut Up and Keep Talking, Bob tells a series of captivating stories that reveal what he has learned about life and investing. These include encounters with a host of stars, world leaders and CEOs, including Fidel Castro, Robert Downey Jr., Walter Cronkite, Aretha Franklin, Barry Manilow, Jack Ma, Joey Ramone, and many more. Along the way, Bob describes how the investment world has changed, from brokers shouting on the floor of the NYSE to fully electronic trading, from investment sages and superstars picking stocks for exorbitant fees to the phenomenal rise of low-cost index funds that are saving investors millions, and from the belief that investors make rational decisions to the new age of behavioral finance, which recognizes the often-irrational nature of human decision making and seeks to understand its role in the stock market. Bob also considers what really moves stocks up and down and tackles the big questions: why is stock picking so hard, and why is the future so unknowable? Don’t miss this highly entertaining and revealing account of how financial markets have changed, and how they really work, from someone who was there.
