<span style="font-size: large;">Gabe Montana’s clumsy. He’s overweight, and he’s dyslexic. Worse yet, the bullies make his fifteen-year-old life even more miserable—so miserable he wants to die. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Charley, his guardian angel, says no to that idea, and comes up with a different plan. He’ll give Gabe self-confidence so he can solve his problems, not run away from them. But Gabe wonders why the angel doesn’t just help with the bullies. What’s with this self-confidence stuff? </span></div>

<span class="s1"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><u>Chapter One Excerpt</u></span></b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">This was going to be his winning year—the championship, the scholarship, and the right girl. Devon already had one win chalked up—Kristen Wright. In a few weeks, he’d nail that championship. Then he’d reel in the basketball scholarship. School of his choice.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">“Yo, Champ!” Colin’s shout came from down the hall.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Devon shut his locker and raised his arm in a salute. “Not yet.” But oh so close. He could feel it. He tipped his head toward the cafeteria. “Come on. I’m low on fuel.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">On the way down the hall, he barely felt the floor underfoot. He didn’t try to cover the grin. He’d hovered over earth ever since last Saturday’s awesome game. No, last Saturday’s more than super-awesome game. The Tsunanis had controlled the ball almost the whole time, and he’d never missed a basket. They were on their way to the varsity state basketball championships, and Oceanside High all but held that trophy by its silver-plated handles. Devon’s palms tingled, already feeling the excitement. The high point of his junior year was only a little more than four weeks ahead.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Devon pushed through the cafeteria door and stopped short when cheers downed out the buzz of the lunch crowd.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">“Go Carlyle!”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">“Go Tsunamis!”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Colin stood alongside him and pumped his arms.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">“Knock it off, grandstander.” He soft-jabbed his friend, and to damp down the excitement inside, Devon took a plate and started with a generous plop of mashed potatoes. He’d carb out today. With trays loaded, the two of them made for their usual table.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">They passed Simon, who scowled at them then turned his back. He’d been off his jump shots during most of the game. The more mistakes Simon made, the worse he played. Devon would have felt sorry for the guy if he wasn’t always such a jerk, on and off the court.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Once Coach took Simon out, the Tsunamis won in a walk.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Pinky McCloud gave them the thumbs up on their way past his table, but Devon acted as if he hadn’t seen it. Pinky was nothing but trouble.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Colin patted Devon on the back. “You couldn’t miss a shot out there last night, man.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Nothing made Devon feel better than kudos from his best friend. But he already knew he’d been at the top of his game, exactly where he meant to stay.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">“We’ve got it made this year,” Colin said, pulling out a chair and straddling it with his long legs.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Devon set down his tray. “We’ve worked our butts off for this. Here’s to the Tsunamis! Numero Uno!”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Silently, he saluted himself. College scouts would be at those playoffs, including one for every school he planned to apply to. All he had to do was play like he had Saturday night, and he’d have a scholarship in the bag. By the time he graduated next year, he’d have everything he’d always wanted: a great college, basketball, and money to help out with his room and board.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Leaning across to Devon, Colin whispered, “Susan at eleven o’clock.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Devon choked and swiped at his mouth. There was no place to hide, and he couldn’t duck out the door because Susan stood in the way. She still stalked him even though he’d broken up with her months ago. He shielded his eyes with one hand. “Please tell me she’s not coming our way.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">“No can do.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Devon got to his feet, but Susan blocked him.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">“Hi, Dev.” She stood there with that look of How can you possibly not want me anymore? Her blouse gaped, showing off some sexy lace, and her jeans snugged against her thighs. Skin couldn’t be any closer on a body. Before he could duck, she stroked his chin. “You can’t stay mad at me forever.”<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">He took her wrist and was pushing her hand away when he looked up into Kristen’s dark eyes. She hurled sparks across the cafeteria. Before he could stop her, she stomped out of the room.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We were lucky to interview Julia Tannenbaum after recently sharing about her debut book <i>Changing Ways</i>. How exciting to read a YA book that is actually written by someone in high school! We hope you enjoy learning more about the story behind the story. </span><br />

by my struggles with mental illness. In eighth grade, I was battling an </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">eating
disorder and depression. I was unable to talk about what I was going through
and suffered in silence until I discovered writing. Writing became my voice and
my escape. Without writing, I honestly don’t know if I would have found the
strength to commit to recovery. Five years later, I decided I wanted to use my
passion to help other people in the way that it helped me. I wanted to create a
realistic, authentic story to spread awareness and understanding of mental
illness. So that’s what I did.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">How long did it
take you to write Changing Ways?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">It look me a little over a year to write <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Changing Ways</i>. I started writing it over
the summer of 2017, when my family was visiting a friend in California. I
finished six months later, and then spent six more months editing until it was
ready for publication. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">What is your
writing process like? Do you listen to music? Write in a special place? Edit as
you go or write and then edit? <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">I’m a disorganized writer. I rarely write in chronological order; instead, I jump around a lot and cut and paste as I go. I usually wait
until I’ve finished the entire manuscript to begin editing, although I do reread
scenes and chapters along the way to make sure they flow. I love listening to
music, as it helps me get in the right mindset. When I’m writing, I need quiet,
and therefore do most of my work in my office.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">What are some of
your favorite books from childhood? Were there any specific authors who
inspired you?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">I’ve always been an avid reader. I used to go through at
least two books a week. My favorite author is J.K. Rowling. She’s such an inspiration
to me with her writing, success, and ability to overcome adversity.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">California. I was born there, so I’d love to move back when
I’m older. I’m not a fan of winter and tend to hole up in my house when it’s
cold outside—my moms can attest to that.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">I’d befriend Grace’s best friend, Lou, in a heartbeat. While
a lot of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Changing Ways</i> is based on my
own experiences, unfortunately, she isn’t. I’d love to have a friend like her;
someone who accepts me for who I am, supports me in tough times, and just makes
me smile.</span></div>

help. I’m self-taught, so initially, I was reluctant to let other people in. I
was convinced that I could write and publish <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Changing Ways</i> on my own, but over time, I realized that to make my
book as best as possible, I needed to swallow my pride and get help. Looking
back now, if it weren’t for my amazing team of editors, mentors, and marketers,
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Changing Ways</i> certainly wouldn’t be
in the place it is today.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">CHANGING WAYS- A BOOK ABOUT GROWING UP, WRITTEN BY A TEEN!</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Growing up sucks. Struggling to cope with the constant stress of school, her mother, and her confusing social life, sixteen-year-old Grace Edwards finds sanity in the most destructive of ways: dieting and self-harming. But just when Grace thinks she has everything under control, a classmate catches her cutting in the girls’ locker room, and Grace’s entire life is flipped upside down. Now she’s faced with the unthinkable – a stint in a psych ward with kids who seem so much worse than she is. After all, she’s not sick. She’s totally okay. She’ll never do it again. But the longer Grace stays, the more she realizes that the kids in the ward aren’t that different from her. Slowly Grace comes to terms with her mental illness, but as her discharge date crawls closer, she knows that the outside world is an unpredictable place . . . and one which whispers temptations about hidden food, dangerous objects, and failure to stay in recovery. ~Amazon</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Narrated by eleven-year-old Orla Gwen Gleason, Orla's Canvas opens on Easter Sunday, in St. Suplice, Louisiana, a "misspelled town" north of New Orleans, and traces Orla's dawning realization that all is not as it seems in her personal life or in the life of her community. The death of St. Suplice's doyenne, Mrs. Bellefleur Dubois Castleberry, for whom Orla's mother keeps house, reveals Orla's true paternity, shatters her trust in her beloved mother, and exposes her to the harsh realities of class and race in the Civil Rights-era South. When the Klan learns of Mrs. Castleberry's collaboration with the local Negro minister and Archbishop Rummel to integrate the parochial school, violence fractures St. Suplice's vulnerable stability. The brutality Orla witnesses at summer's end awakens her to life's tenuous fragility. Like the South in which she lives, she suffers the turbulence of changing times. Smart, resilient, and fiercely determined to make sense of her pain, Orla paints chaos into beauty, documenting both horror and grace, discovering herself at last through her art. ~Amazon</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">In Painting Mercy, the sequel to prize-winning Orla’s Canvas, Orla, now twenty-four, has been studying and painting in New York City. It is 1975. Saigon has fallen to the Communists, and Vietnamese refugees have been invited to settle in New Orleans by Archbishop Hannan, a former paratrooper and military chaplain in WW II. Orla’s childhood friend and forever confidant, Tad Charbonneau, is practicing immigration law in New Orleans, where he mitigates challenging adoption cases involving children, many of them bi-racial, recently airlifted from Saigon and in need of new families. On her way back home for Katie Cowles’ wedding and a summer painting in misspelled St. Suplice, Orla reconnects with Tad and contemplates her future. While she anticipates marriage and family with her undisputed soul mate, she discovers upsetting news about Tad’s sexuality and learns that her forty-three-year-old mother is pregnant. Adding to her troubling personal revelations, Orla becomes involved in the devastating costs of war for former GI and Katie’s brother Denny Cowles and Mercy Cleveland, a Vietnamese orphan who eventually becomes as essential to Orla as her art. Orla once again calls upon her art to make sense of loss and gain. Through her craft she reimagines how Love and Home might look, finally charting a future for herself she had not previously considered possible. ~Amazon</span></span><br />

About UNSEEN EVIL:<br />
How can you fight what you can’t see?<br />
Seventeen-year-old Kaylan Bradford has no idea what she wants to do with her future, but dying sure as hell isn’t on top of her list. Yet everywhere she goes, strange accidents happen, each one nearly taking her life. Someone or something is after her.<br />
Reese, the sexy new guy in town, immediately takes an interest in Kaylan, and something about him makes Kaylan feel more alive than ever. Reese isn’t the only new face in Kaylan’s life, though. Riley is beyond gorgeous, and he saves Kaylan’s life more than once.<br />
But Reese and Riley are both keeping secrets—secrets about Kaylan’s future. The more Kaylan discovers about herself, the more the attempts on her life begin to make sense.<br />
Kaylan is desperate to change her fate, but when she discovers the identity of the one who’s trying to kill her, she may not have a future at all.<br />

About EVIL UNLEASHED:<br />
Kaylan Bradford thought having her boyfriend decide her future for her was the worst thing ever. She couldn’t have been more wrong. Discovering the truth about her past sets in motion a slew of events that unleash evil on the world.<br />
Determined to fix her mistakes, Kaylan resorts to traveling through time, but every move she makes only creates new problems for her to deal with. People are dying, and she’s to blame.<br />
She’ll need to figure out how to battle the ultimate evil...even if it means battling herself.<br />

where she traveled through time and helped solved a murder mystery. She didn’t
do it alone, Evan was with her and she couldn’t have done it without him. Which
wasn’t a surprise once she realized the history behind their families and the

senior year. After spending most of her life making sure that ghosts couldn’t
contact her, it seems like the floodgates are open. She is being asked to solve
problems for many who have passed before. Kat’s been doing her best, but
helping ghosts is exhausting and she’s worried someone at school will walk in

Tansley I was lucky enough to read an ARC of <i>The Girl Who Saved Ghosts</i>, book 2 in the
Unbelievables series. I enjoyed it so
much that I decided to read it again now that I have a print copy. What a fun book! It was fascinating finding out about Kat’s
ancestors and how different families are connected. I would love to see her
ring, which helps her to contact ghosts. The magical artifacts in the story all
sound interesting! I like the way the
characters continued to develop in this story and now that Kat knows more about
her father and other relatives she has a depth to her that makes her seem wise
beyond her years. The story brings the supernatural together with reality in a
way that makes the magic that much more believable. A perfect mixture! Things
really get tense when lives are on the line and I couldn’t turn the pages fast
enough. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good mystery. I am already
looking forward to the next book in the series. What will happen next?</span><br />

After a summer spent in a haunted castle—a summer in which she traveled through time to solve a murder mystery—Kat is looking forward to a totally normal senior year at McTernan Academy. Then the ghost of a little girl appears and begs Kat for help, and more unquiet apparitions follow. All of them are terrified by the Dark One, and it soon becomes clear that that this evil force wants Kat dead.</div>

Searching for help, Kat leaves school for the ancestral home she’s only just discovered. Her friend Evan, whose family is joined to her own by an arcane history, accompanies her.

With Carrie's killers still out there, Salem's not sure who she can trust. If
she can't she prove she’s right before it’s too late, the conspiracy might take
another life—hers.</span><br />

<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The class is dead silent. Mr.
White’s lips tighten. He swallows. There’s something dangerous about the new
guy. The teacher leans over AddyDay’s desk and spins her packet so he can read
the list of partnerships. “Fine. We’ll break up the threesome. You’ll pair
with . . . Salem Jefferson.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">At the sound of my name, I turn to
look at my new partner.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The guy near the door is tall. He
has the kind of incredible good looks that invite stares, but that’s not the
only reason he’s getting them now. The cursive lettering of a tattoo rises from
the opening of the guy’s worn flannel shirt. Two gold chains hang from his
brown neck. A guy accessorized in gang paraphernalia, not caked with it. His
only completely visible marking is an upside down <i>V </i>inked onto his right cheekbone, black and distinct. The tattoo
calls my attention for some reason, even though I’m sure I’ve never seen a
symbol like that before. An upside down <i>V
</i>. . . it seems so familiar.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">His expressionless, dark eyes dart
to meet my gaze from under a stiff, backward-facing ball cap. My classmates
watch him stare at me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Salem Jefferson,” he says slowly,
putting a slight emphasis on my last name. He waits for my response. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">I realize he knows exactly who
Salem Jefferson is. Exactly who I am. I’m Carrie’s sister.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Terrified, I whirl back around to
face forward. Gang members targeted Carrie, made her frightened. Was he one of
them? The skin between my shoulder blades tightens. Why were gang guys after
Carrie?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

honest, I’m going to have to say that learning about my own prejudices was my
favorite part. I won’t give away too much to avoid spoilers, but I will say
one of the characters was originally supposed to be a villain. About a quarter
of the way into the book, I ached for him the way I had ached for my trouble
students as a teacher. I felt like I understood why he made so many bad
choices. I realized that as author I had written a plot that didn’t allow him
to ever make positive changes in his life. I believe in positive change. So I tweaked
the premise of the book and rewrote a lot. A <i>lot</i>. But it was worth it. I hope real teens know they have a chance
to change if they fight for it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

I didn’t set out to write short stories, flash fiction,
vignettes, poems. I started out writing full-length manuscripts for kids and
teens. But I had a lot to learn about writing. I joined critique groups, read
how-to-write-and-revise books, and attended workshops, conferences, and
retreats. Along the way, I received the advice to write short stories.</div>

</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">I would be more likely to gain a publishing
credit.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
After all, that’s how writing god Stephen King gained
experience and name recognition.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the span of a year, I tried many different types of
writing. I found anthologies looking for short stories and received my first
publishing credit. Then I took a poetry workshop series. When I got brave
enough, I began submitting my poems for publication. And I tried a number of
flash fiction prompts, mostly through blogs. I squeezed this in between writing
longer pieces. Not only did my manuscripts improve, but I also gained some
publishing credits. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Years later, these vignettes had added up. In case you don’t
know, a vignette is a short poem or prose piece that explores mood, character,
setting. Vine Leaves Press editor, Jessica Bell, invited me to submit if I had
enough for a collection of vignettes. I placed these various writings scattered
in files onto one document. What had started as an exercise to improve my
longer pieces in the hope of getting them published turned into THE way I
became the author of my own book. </div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Who would have thought that a teenager could have a successful career creating makeup tutorial videos on YouTube? For Lacey Robbins, this dream has been her reality. An up-and-coming YouTuber, she has thousands of fans and can't wait for the day when her subscriber count reaches the one million mark. And when she is offered a high school internship at On Trend Magazine, she figures that this could be the make it or break it moment. <span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></span><br />

Her editor is only interested in promoting junk products, and her boss in the Hair and Makeup department introduces her to the larger world of makeup artistry, making her wonder if making tutorials online is all she is meant to do. To top it all off, when the magazine's feature subject, musician Tyler Lance, turns his broodingly handsome smile her way, falling for him could mean losing her fans, forcing her to make a decision: her YouTube life or her real life? </span><br />

years. When she's not writing, Beth can be found swatching eyeshadows, solving
Wheel of Fortune puzzles, and playing with her adorable cat, Penny Belle. Beth

<span style="mso-bookmark: _Toc441325425;">Take
the Challenge: Be a Popcorn Dater</span> </h2>
<div>
<span style="mso-bookmark: _Toc441325425;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
In 2008, a group of
friends sat me down for an intervention. <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
“Zack, you date like
popcorn. Just bouncing around everywhere. We’re going to give you a challenge.”<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
They gave me a box with eight
bags of Old Fashioned Natural popcorn and wrote on the box, “The possessor of
this box, Zack Oates, agrees to go on eight separate dates with the same girl
and on each date eat one bag of popcorn (one per date)” and made me sign it. <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
My roommates ate three
bags without me asking over the years, so it was down to five. <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Truth be told, I don’t
believe in going on movie dates (a.k.a. kissing) before a third date (until I
met my fiancée, that is #sorrynotsorry).<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Needless to say (yet for
some reason I’ll still say it anyway), I didn’t pop a single bag. <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
By the time I got married
at the end of 2015, the five remaining bags were expired. </div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
BUT <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">the principle of focusing on going on dates
with one person changed my mentality and is what enabled me to get married. </b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Since we just talked
about candy and candy + popcorn are the best couple ever to take to a movie
(even if you’re the third wheel), we’re going to put this to the test. <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Here is your challenge: <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Think of ONE person you are dating that you like the most or figure out
someone you’d like to date. Now, hang out with them and then get them on a
date. And then go on at least five dates in a row before you go out with anyone
else. </b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Here’s the thing—love,
marriage, dating—they are all choices. A choice to be ready, a choice to be
open and then a choice to be committed.<span style="font-size: 13.3333px; line-height: 20px;"> </span>Everyone is loved
incredibly by someone. Use those five dates in a row to find out why they are
loved so much.</div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Take the challenge and be
a Popcorn Dater!<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">Kat Preston has been trying
to believe that ghosts don’t exist ever since one wanted to take over her body
many years ago. Telling herself that
there are no unbelievable helps to keep them away. She is keeping them at bay
until a research job takes her to Castle Creighton, where a grisly wedding day
murder has remained unsolved for many years. A research assistant, Evan
Kingsley, from the university is one of the people accompanying her on her
mission and he definitively doesn’t believe in ghosts. When the two search the
room where the murders took place they are transported through a magical mirror
to the past where they find themselves in the bodies of two of the people who
knew the murdered couple. Will they finally be able to piece together what
happened to the bride and groom on their wedding day over one hundred years
ago? Can Evan and Kat make it back to
their own bodies in the present time or will they be trapped forever?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 12.6pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;">

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">I truly enjoyed
reading <i>The Girl Who Ignored Ghosts </i>by
K.C. Tansley. The supernatural elements in the book were very appealing to me
and the fact that Kat had experiences with ghosts when she was young drew me
right into the story. I was very worried when she was going to Castle Creighton
because I knew she would no longer be able to block out the unbelievable, but I
also understood it was something she needed to do to put everything to rest. I
have always loved old mirrors and I enjoyed the magical elements attached to
the one in this book. The world of the unbelievables is well explained and I
was on the edge of my seat as Kat and Evan found themselves in the bodies of
two people who were connected to the bride and groom. I started off not being a
fan of Evan, but as the two traveled back in time I came to like him more and
so did Kat. The way the pieces of the puzzle came together was fascinating and
it was fun trying to solve the case with Kat. I would recommend this book to
people who enjoy books with ghosts, magic, and other supernatural elements.
Young adults and adults will get caught up in the mystery and will be turning
the pages to find out how it all turns out!

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 14.85px;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: purple;">Alexia had assumed his home was a hut in some local village. “Where is it you came from?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: purple;">Deamus motioned upward.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: purple;">Alexia followed his aim to the warming sky, stars fading. “From the stars?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: purple;">Both hands disappeared behind his back as he considered her closely. Something in his stare solidified, and he leaned forward, lifting an arm and pointing. “There. Out beyond those lights waits another earth, one where…where we live without fear. Only those with <i>Passionate</i> blood dwell there.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: purple;">The idea whirled her head like a top he was spinning just to watch her grow dizzy.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: purple;">Amos stepped between them. “Tell me about this place.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: purple;">Deamus backed away, gaze shifting shyly to the ground.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: purple;">Alexia touched his arm. “Tell me.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: purple;">“The other land was <i>created</i> long ago by a powerful man. There has never been a man more powerful.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: purple;">To create an entire world… Alexia still couldn’t quite fathom it. Only God possessed that kind of power.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: purple;">“When humanity began destroying…the Passionate, he knew he had to stop them.” He brought his fists together and pulled them apart to illustrate. “It would mean separating two worlds. He studied and gathered and worked for decades to make his dream a reality, and at last, he did it.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: purple;">Alexia gave him a skeptical frown. “Separated two worlds out of one?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: purple;">“I heard me somethin’ like this story before.” Regin scratched his chin. “Weren’t there two sons and some kind of battle?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: purple;">Deamus stilled and shifted away as if he’d forgotten about his larger audience.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: purple;">“Do continue,” Alexia urged.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: purple;">“A bridge was erected, a bridge of light that allowed our kind to pass over, but the cost of channeling so much power was the man’s life.” Deamus bit his lip. His chin shook and he looked away. Quiet accosted them. Alexia wondered if he would continue when he straightened his shoulders, lips puckered in a frown. “He left two sons.” He gave a quick nod at Regin. “Both studied his arts and followed in his path, but one was tempted and drawn into dark powers, the kind that consume the soul.” A line appeared between his eyebrows. “The other watched over and protected the Passionate—mostly from his brother.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: purple;">Alexia glanced up at the disappearing stars and shivered, feeling suddenly very small. “And how do you know of this other world?”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: purple;">Deamus’s head tilted, hope shimmering in his gaze. “It is my home.”</span></span></div>

She practices her brother-induced ninja skills while teaching children or madly typing about fantastic and impossible creatures. She has lived from coast to coast and now calls Florida home with her creative husband, four littles, and “friend” (a.k.a. the zombie locked in her closet). Secretly, she dreams of world domination and a bottomless supply of cheese.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ella’s convinced Avery’s been kidnapped, and she tries everything to find him—even following a strange shadow to another world where the constellations are real-life figures in the sky. But three star groups have fallen and are destroying the world. </span></div>

Melanie, the princess of Stellaris, is forcing Ella, Avery, and an army of other kids kidnapped from their world to fight the rogue constellations, even as the land is draining away their life. The longer they stay, the more they fade into substanceless shadows—a fate worse than death.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif; font-size: medium;">Evryn’s got mad skills at playing hide and seek. She can find lost children, hack the most secure databases, pretty much anything. Except for the one thing she desires most: the knowledge of who her parents are, why they abandoned her, and what her special talent means about who and what she really is.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Cuprum; font-size: 20.79px;">
<span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif; font-size: medium;"> So, when a guy named Seeker appears quite literally out of nowhere, claiming to know about her past and offering her a job, Evryn can’t say yes fast enough. Even if it does mean following him to another realm. As in, mind-blowingly, not Earth. Apparently she’s part of an elite clan of Hunters descending from Artemis who can find just about anything in all of time and space. As the last of Artemis’ direct lineage, Evryn is her clan’s best shot at finding a lost city before rival clans do.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Cuprum; font-size: 20.79px;">
<span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif; font-size: medium;"> Not just any city, but the flying, realm-hopping city of Skye. Aboard Skye is the Artifex, a magical device with the power to create or destroy worlds. Everyone wants the device, and with Evryn’s super-powered lineage, it means everyone wants her, too. It’s hard to decide who she can trust, even within her own clan. After she discovers a strange, alluring connection to the Artifex, she’s not even sure she can trust herself. Worse yet, the only person who may be able to help her is the Timekeeper, the sadistic ancient being who created the Artifex. An interdimensional war is brewing, and Evryn is right at the epicenter of it all. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Cuprum; font-size: 20.79px;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Ten-year-old Leona Chapter doesn't understand why her papa left his six children at the Brooklyn Home for Homeless Children after their mother's death in 1921. Each day she prays he'll return and take his children home. God, however, isn't listening. Her brothers and sisters are either adopted or run away, leaving only Leona and Baby Mildred in the orphanage. Leona promises she and Mildred will be together for always. A promise she cannot keep, for Leona, along with her friend Noah, who she defends from the bullies Hiram and Jehu, and several other orphans, are soon on a train headed to Texas, while her sister stays at the orphanage. Leona vows she'll go back to Brooklyn, the first chance she gets. An Orphan Train tale during the 1920s. ~Amazon</span><br />
