People have been disappearing all across the State with no apparent connection to one another. Police are baffled and struggling to determine if the disappearances are connected or are simply isolated incidents. There are no bodies or evidence- only abandoned vehicles and missing persons reports. Meanwhile, Alex Sanders is battling his own demons... Almost a year after surviving a horrific weekend held captive by his former best friend, Marc, Alex is now a freshman at the University of Tennessee. Desperately trying to start over, he is consumed with depression, anxiety, and guilt for the murder that he helped cover up. Always fearful of being discovered, Alex can't help but wonder, is Marc still secretly watching him? Could Marc's obsession with him have something to do with the current flood of disappearances across the State? All things seem to lead back to that fateful weekend... the one that started with murder ... and ended in betrayal. Warning: This book contains scenes which may be considered triggering events for some involving extreme violence, murder, kidnapping, and torture.

Benz, a Dobermann puppy, is rescued by a foreign scientist working in a Joint Venture with Cuba in the late 1990s. Being accused of being a dangerous dog by his Cuban military boss, Benz escapes execution by joining a team of Cuban scientists and speleologists in the capacity of Ore Search Dog.Risking his life by diving into lakes of dangerous caves of Cabo San Antonio located in the Peninsula of Guanahacabibes, the westernmost point of the island of Cuba, he assists in the search for the lost valuable treasures of The Cathedral of San Ildefonso of Merida.Benz recorded his adventures in caves and love affair with a local mongrel dog using a Brain Clone Helmet, containing the Brain-Computer interface specially developed for him by young Cuban engineers and programmers. This unique Helmet discriminates minor neural electrical signals in his brain and decodes his information.Based on actual events but told in the most sardonic and simple language of a Dobermann dog, this story is about the hypocrisy of the Cuban communist system in abusing and oppressing ordinary Cubans in the post-revolutionary period. It is a political satire about contemporary Cuba with an anthropomorphic touch.

If Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Who had a teenage daughter, you'd end up with Marisol and the Book of Doors.Thirteen year old Marisol Lee wants to become a detective, not a thief. But when she impulsively steals a rare book from the mysterious man in black, her friend and mentor, the bookseller Mrs. Henley goes missing. Marisol feels responsible for the disappearance and decides to compete with the police detectives assigned to solving the case. Along the way, she travels into the magical world of books themselves - where she'll gather clues scattered throughout a host of traditional literary genres. And, the more that Marisol learns about the world of books - the more she realizes what's truly at stake. Plus there's fairies, I mean pixies.

The brave souls who choose to serve others in dangerous professions have a connected burden. There is a cost to all they see, hear, touch, and manage. Stress injuries take root in the brain and nervous systems often to the detriment of long-term psychological wellness, physiological health and public and personal relationships. The enhanced resiliency that most bring to the job can be impacted by cumulative or one-time trauma events. Experiences that change behaviors, personalities, interactive management from a pre-escalation mindset and the mental fortitude to choose healthy coping mechanisms. The cost to individuals, agencies, and potentially, community members when left unchecked is substantial. Emotional control, managing interactions, coping with stress and influencing others in the best interest of all involved may be hindered without preparing for the mental ambush. T.E.A.R.S. - Tactical Emotional Adversity Resiliency System uses Behavioral Sciences and Neuroscience from a layman's perspective to strengthen and build resiliency for the known challenges in these professions. From addictive coping to burn-out to disorders to suicide there is a better system to prepare for the mental ambush. Our preemptive approach will avoid the costly and potentially deadly outcomes of unmanaged stress injuries before they ruin careers, lives, and relationships. Our mission values the lives bettered and saved with our system of training. However, the benefits reach far beyond the individual as we support the government and agencies who lose millions in unnecessary costs due to stress related time off, injuries, safety issues, conduct unbecoming cases, and lawsuits. We aim to improve all aspects of interactive success and the communities served will be better off with mentally fit members.These professions don't show up unless there is an emotionally heightened situation. It is logical to change the way most agencies approach their core and annual training to improve the tools needed for 90% of the calls they face. Currently most agencies focus core training on the 10% of calls they attend. This practice takes up most of the time and funds allotted in the budget. It leaves the government, agencies, individuals and communities vulnerable to the festering wounds of stress building up in every member serving the public. Our strategic approach provides tactics to prepare and mitigate risks from all fronts. The front-line professionals gain awareness, prevention, mitigation, and resiliency tools on how to manage the guaranteed stress impact of their career choice, from recruit to retiree. Mental fitness directly correlates to budget and risk management and Going Beyond the Call consults clients on how this impact can be reduced. This book will aid leaders, administrators, and elected officials with insights on how a trauma-informed workforce will improve the bottom line quickly.Increasingly, jurisdictions are covering PTSD as an allowable claim under workers' compensation. Recognition through medical and scientific proof are undeniably changing our understanding of how psychological trauma impacts the mind and body. The projected burden on budget dollars is incentive enough to ensure that organizations optimize their mental health training as logic and facts prove that prevention is always a wise investment. Lastly, the cost of rising lawsuits over conduct-unbecoming cases; sensationalized media reporting management; spousal-suits for lack of training related to suicide and on-the-job deaths; and recruitment and retention challenges translate to a necessary cultural shift in how agencies train, performance-manage and reduce preventable incidents. FOR SELF. FOR PUBLIC. FOR AGENCIES. FOR LEADERS. FOR OVERSIGHT ROLES.

Without thinking of the implications, she, time and again, will jeopardize her safety and those around her to defy the edicts and bring a semblance of what is right back into the world. But when the opportunity to crash in on a ball and openly speak against the queen and her rule, all the while avoiding capture form the imperial guards, comes, Tinay must decide if she is ready to risk it all to do what is right.

"At night, I was forced back into the house for dinner and then followed the routine bath and going to bed. I remember feeling so alone and disconnected from everyone there. I was an orphan amongst them all. I couldn't relate to them, their experience and their interaction they had with each other. I was blonde with green eyes while they had blue or brown eyes and dark hair. I figured I was probably adopted and that would explain why my mother was so spiteful towards me. Many a night, I would sit by the bedroom window, pull my blind over my head and look at the stars. I would talk to the stars knowing others were there, listening to me, those who really knew me, my real family, asking and begging them to let me go back home. I wanted nothing to do with this life, I couldn't understand what was expected of me. These strangers that kept me confused and scared. I wanted to feel whole and loved again, I knew that on the other side of this dimension, amongst the stars, where my soul would be reunited to my higher-self, I could feel loved in the presence of mother/father God."This excerpt from the book gives you an insight that I was not a child like any other. After a difficult childhood and a tumultuous adolescence, I try to escape but I am pursued by my demons, my fears and a belief system that continues to sabotage all my efforts for a balanced life. This book explains the journey of a human being who must forgive herself and continue to strive forward despite her missteps and failures. I share my story in order to inspire you so that you know that you are not alone in your quest and that there is hope.
