With great trouble come great laughs! Everyone including BigaByte is in a lousy mood because someone’s stealing their laughs? Whaaa? Plus SuperZero’s mom has a bewildering surprise for him. Plus, plus, plus there is a cunning clone in school who is turning himself into everyone else and creating full-on chaos. (Pssst, that’s your cue, SuperZero. Do your thing!)
Angela White had no love lost for her pack. They hated her as much as she hated them. Why? Because her father had a falling out with his former best friend, the Alpha and he chose to shun him. The entire pack took their Alpha’s side and shunned her father and her entire family, disregarding the fact that no one knew the reason for the fight. Because of this, Angela grew up hating her pack. But she was also determined to restore her family’s standing in the pack to make sure her brother did not grow up shunned like she did. She would enter into the Grand Hunt and when she won, her prize would be the Alpha’s forgiveness. It was a simple enough plan. Until the Alpha’s son came into the picture. Louis Knights was arrogant, handsome, powerful and everything Angela hated. He’d also joined his father to shun her family even though he’d been in the ideal position to find out the cause of the fight and perhaps resolve it. So yes, Angela hated him. He had always avoided taking part in the Hunt. That is, until the year that Angela planned to join. His presence there would make it twice as hard for Angela to win but not impossible. However, the unexpected appearance of a rogue wolf forces Angela to let go of the tight hold she had on her wolf in order to protect herself. In that moment, her wolf reached out to her mate, and Louis Knights shows up to protect what’s his.
This tale chronicles Maadhu's struggle to emerge from the shadows of a precarious self-image built around the subtle oedipal struggles of not being able to match his father's illustrious status. His own inability to overcome the subconscious paradoxes ingrained into his psyche due to the systemic neglect and emotional indifference from his father. The exclusive presence of adoration and constant respect for his father acts as a lynchpin for his insecure complexes. He tries to find adoration by being antisocial, but the deep-rooted values and system instilled by his mother comes back to haunt him which destroys his ego, and he reclaims and becomes a professor. His poor volitional talents psychologically devastated his daughter to only lose herself in a labyrinth of green wrist and blue floating ladders. Will his constellation of conflicting emotions affect the existence of his own daughter??
Thriving - LifeStyles with Love! A collection of short stories for inspiration. "Wonderful little Pepper-Uppers." Each saga is shaped as a photo-essay and most need only a few minutes to read. A different way to get a glimpse into the every-day life in Thailand - a travelogue. These are a few of the people that have left particularly large impressions. Knowing them has provided inspiration, energy and verve; perhaps through this book, others will also benefit. Each novella shines a light on some events that stands out over the years. This is not an endeavor to bestow the title of "angel" upon anyone; rather it offers a look into everyday life. Thriving - LifeStyles with Love includes people living in meager situations as well as University Professors, techies, owners of family enterprises, and many more. It is their generosity of spirit, which cuts across all social levels and professions (also contributing much to a better life and society) that makes them so special. A popular expression in Thailand goes like this (phonetic translation into English): Kon Thai ben khon jai dee! Thai people have a kind heart! These stories delight and shine a light on the benefits from these kind-hearts.
