Christmastown USA has a new CEO. But owning a majority share of the holiday-decorating company makes no difference for Cyrus Theroux if the other forty-nine percent refuses to cooperate...>Cyrus is so excited that he is beside himself. Never mind that it's ninety-three degrees outside in the middle of a hot July in Savannah. Christmas will be here any day now. He has checked his Christmastown USA warehouse twice, counted his inventory four times, and added ten new team members to join his thirty. He can spread them all over town. Sure, he can manage the decorating teams himself, even if his business partner can't handle it. What's with Amy anyway? Maybe he should consider buying her share of the company. He will keep Mr. Untermeyer's memories and wishes alive. Yes, that's what he'll do. Kick Amy off the sleigh and keep Christmastown all to himself- No. There was something about Amy that draws Cyrus to her. Something he can't put his thumb on...>Amy simply cannot believe how anyone could focus on the Christ of Christmas when people overspend and get stressed out at festivities they cannot enjoy with family members and relatives they do not wish to see or buy presents for. Why Mom has given Amy a forty-nine percent share of Christmastown USA, she'll never know. Amy doesn't want it, but she can't sell it. To sell her share to some stranger would disrespect the memory of Dad, who inherited this business from Grandpa Earnest, who had started the company back in the fifties. The entire Untermeyer family lives from Christmas to Christmas. It was because of Christmastown that Amy's parents were able to send her and her two brothers to college. Amy cherishes the happy memories of her childhood and the Untermeyer legacy until some devastating news makes her question everything she has ever known about the Untermeyer family...

July, 1926 finds ace pilot Jack McGraw and scientist Dorothy "Doc" Starr, hot on the trail of evil agents murdering prominent captains of industry-a trail that leads them to face an old enemy they thought vanquished. With the backing of Thomas Edison's A.E.G.I.S. foundation, Jack and Doc use their light reconnaissance airship Daedalus to travel to the Himalayas, where a deeper mystery unfolds. Together with their crewmates, suave English radioman Edward "Duke" Willis, curmudgeonly Bronx mechanic Carl "Rivets" Holloway and laconic Cherokee sharpshooter Charlie "Deadeye" Dalton, they delve into local customs and ancient lore surrounding the "Eye of the World", a hidden kingdom in the heart of the mountains known as Shambala, where the only antidote to the world's deadliest poison still grows wild. Based on the Airship Daedalus retro pulp comic strip by Todd Downing and Brian Beardsley, Assassins of the Lost Kingdom is the first novel from author E.J. Blaine, who brings the fun and excitement of classic adventure stories to the fore. Mobsters, mad science, secret societies, occult threats, and lost worlds meet globe-trotting, sky-high aerial adventure and two-fisted heroism, like the pulp novels of old!"Airship Daedalus: Assassins of the Lost Kingdom has everything you'd hope for in a pulp adventure. Crafted in the mold of its predecessors from the 1920s, the book has a bit of everything. Adventure, intrigue, danger -- and most of all, atmosphere. I'd recommend it to fans looking for hints of late-era steampunk, 1920s pulp adventures, Indiana Jones, or just people looking for a fun, fast adventure."-Jeffrey Cook, author of the Dawn of Steam trilogy

A Bible StudyAs "A Daughter of the King" you should be overflowing with confidence, but if you're anything like the average woman insecurity may still be a struggle at times. Why do we struggle when we have such a secure identity? Because we take our eyes off God and forget what He says about who we are. We instead focus on how we feel about ourselves and let doubt creep in. We worry about how others perceive us and live a life seeking to gain their approval. It's time to refocus our minds onto what God says about us, replacing our areas of insecurity with His truth. Over the course of eight lessons you will build your foundation of confidence based on what God says about you. God says you are loved, you are forgiven, you belong, you matter, you are beautiful, and you have purpose! You are strong! You are royalty! "A Daughter of the King" is a Bible study workbook that is simply written, and meant to be enjoyed as if having a comfortable heart-to-heart conversation. Through the study of Scripture, personal stories, insightful reflections, and thought-provoking questions, your identity as a "child of God" will take on a fresh meaning, bringing with it a bold new confidence.An 8-week study.For individual or group use.

While it is unlikely that two persons suffering from depression have the same exact triggers, we cannot deny that we've all had the same bitter taste of this dreadful "mental" condition: - the constant terrifying sense of foreboding and hopelessness- that perpetual queasy sensation in the gut- the weakness in the limbs- the persistent mental pull to focus on the negative things- the inability to get satisfaction from sleep- and the constant need to breathe deeply as an attempt to ease our chests from the burden of unrelenting pounding palpitations.These and many other harrowing characteristics of depression, in different shades of severity, are the common grounds shared by most people who suffer from it.In each therapy chapter, you will witness how every one of these awful facets of depression was dealt with and whether there was success or not. You will have an unobstructed view of the nitty gritty, the darkest and most naked of thoughts, the smallest and biggest of steps taken, and all the failures and successes in between.You will see how seemingly insignificant steps can prove to be reliable lifeline out of your horrible pit of depression. From these intimate efforts, you can draw out your own customized templates for therapy that you can readily use any given time that you need them, anywhere, unlimited times, for free.It is my hope that you would find the same courage that enabled me to strip my mind naked as I faced the only person in the Therapy Room: ME.When you realize that you can face and look in the eye this stark-naked person that you are - and that you are willing to improve the areas that you can and accept those you cannot - then you have the rest of the therapy time to enjoy.

Are you Y? Or are you X? X - incessantly anxious, edgy and agitatedY - composed, calm and collectedX - constantly worried, fearful and apprehensiveY - Peaceful, tranquil and unfazedX - frantic, frenzied, worked upY - cool, self-controlled, confident, unflappableX - easily offended, very touchyY - willing to overlook an offense, forgiving, patientX - hypercritical, confrontational, quarrelsomeY - easygoing, moderate, pleasant, not given to angerDuring the entire period of my depression, I experienced feeling hopeless, helpless, fearful, anxious and downright terrified. I was in that mood for most days.When I wasn't, it simply meant I had swung to the opposite end of my mental and emotional spectrum. This end was peppered with feelings of animosity, anger, and revenge. I was combative and aggressive.X manifests both ends of the spectrum - the extremes.Y resides in the balanced and stable middle.Do you know that you were never meant to be X? You were never born as an X. The natural and original you is Y. Y was how you were created.What happened? What went wrong? How did we lose our ability to stay in that balanced, stable and harmonious "middle"?What pushed us too strongly that had kept us perpetually swinging from end to end, unable to find our way back and stay mentally and emotionally sound?The answers to these questions are what this book is all about.This book will show you: 1. How you got from being Y to X;2. The things that stubbornly keep you as X;And most importantly: 3. How you can find your way back to being Y (balanced, sober, peaceful) and the things you can easily do to stay as such.My depression lasted for 3 years but it seemed forever. And forever can make one forget. Having depression felt so intense and so real that I had forgotten how life felt without it.I remembered only when I finally experienced being "me" again. "Me without depression" felt so simple yet beautiful, so free yet dependable. And I was just all willing and ready to do everything to make sure I become and stay that way for good.It turned out that I did all the right things. And they're all in this book. For you. This book is yourSUPER-HIGHWAY out of your depression pit.At last, the elusive face of this so-called "mental" condition that has plagued modern mankind is revealed.It's no longer a face we ought to fear.This book details how I navigated my way out of the dark, horrible and anxiety-riddled pit of depression from which I suffered for 3 debilitating years. I reveal the shocking scientific, yet very simple principles I discovered behind my healing and recovery, from which you can benefit, right now.

Facing my own mortality, I take a stranger to bed so I can feel alive. I'm in a foreign country and will never see him again, so what's the harm?The only thing worse than cancer at twenty-four is having to keep it a secret.Worse still is trading knuckle wraps for head scarfs and mouth guards for IV drips.Like I sought the best coach, my search for the best cancer researchers lands me in Kansas City, far from home and alone.But when I take the handsome and funny Rory Dennis home, I learn there is more between us than an insatiable physical attraction.I want to see him again, but can I keep my illness a secret from yet another person?

Forget everything you've heard from mainstream white veganism; this isn't a book about single-issue advocacy through the most privileged of lenses. "Veganism of Color" is a compilation of writings from seldom-heard voices of color drowned out by the same white noise that systematically oppresses us all- vegan or not. This community-led effort is a call from Vegans of Color to People of Color to decenter whiteness and work towards dismantling a form of oppression that, although very different, interconnects with our own. Embracing a social justice spectrum that is aware of, and working against, all forms of supremacy is a must if we are going to achieve true liberation from systems of oppression for ourselves and other marginalized communities. About the EditorJulia Feliz Brueck is a published author, editor, and illustrator with a background in science and the arts. Julia is also the founder of Sanctuary Publishers, a book publisher that works to give back to marginalized communities.
