After the sensational murder trial of a prominent politician's son, Trinity humbly accepts her confinement into the Lowry Mental Institution, protecting Alex, and their secret promise that can never be broken. Confusion turns into hopelessness as the years pass by, until one strange day when Trinity suddenly finds herself back out on the streets after a simple identity mix up, and her drug infused adrenaline ultimately leads to an unrelenting determination. Danger escalates as Trinity attempts to escape her turbulent world and suddenly finds herself on the run, catapulted into a courageous and triumphant journey of the heart. Seeking refuge deep in the mountains, Trinity meets up with the old woman, Macey, & her "Coon" dog, and the pair take up an unlikely alliance. Hope is fleetingly instilled in these passing gasps of short lived friendships, as she bonds with other lost souls, who help guide her along her troubled path, each weaving their own threads of turbulence into the framework of the story. Yet, for Trinity - those memories of unspeakable horrors refuse to be buried any longer and slowly make their way back through to the surface, leading the truth through the bowels of one horrific night that no-one wants to remember, yet those involved would never be able to forget, the darkness of a ruthless man and a deranged mind that threatened to forever extinguish the one love that was the only strength and hope that she had forever carried in her heart. Will she be able to outwit the powerful and vengeful Max Blane and relinquish the control he has placed upon her very soul and the entire town of Cresentville?

In this project he takes the reader on a thought-provoking journey through the hills and valleys of one's personal life.As time went on he began to see how dysfunction affects people across all areas including government, education, military, ministry, family, and the work place. This revelation gave him, as it were, a moving screen showing how the ball of dysfunction rolls along from childhood into adulthood and the role of leadership.The current book "Unmasking the Deception of Dysfunction" goes into a much different direction by pointing out how dysfunctional deception is so wide spread that it knows no limitations and thwarts the boundaries into the leadership arena.James' goal, as a writer, in his signature writing style, has become one of having the reader examine him or herself by purposefully-placed questions throughout the book. It is his desire that by using the tools revealed herein a person is challenged to become more complete in his/her leadership role.

Some women look to me for answers. I can only tell them what I would do in certain situations but it's important to tread lightly with some subjects. After all, despite what some may think, I don't have all the answers. Who on this planet does?" ~ Caren A. Stein

Con il suo stile brillante e spassoso, Rick Reale ci porta con sé in un viaggio negli Stati Uniti degli anni quaranta, cinquanta e sessanta attraverso una serie di episodi curiosi, divertenti e avventurosi che ruotano intorno al mondo delle automobili e dei motori di quegli anni. Si potrebbe pensare che la vita a Meriden, tranquilla cittadina di provincia del Connecticut, possa essere noiosa per un giovane scapestrato com¿era Rick Reale tra gli anni ¿40 e ¿60¿ niente di più inesatto. A parte sperimentare sempre nuovi metodi per mettere a repentaglio la propria vita (e quella dei suoi amici e familiari), la sua passione per le automobili e i motori gli hanno offerto spunti inesauribili per vivere avventure pittoresche, bizzarre, a tratti paradossali. Un viaggio di 5.000 chilometri, da una costa all¿altra del Paese lungo la Route 66, percorso in 58 ore ¿ inclusi una serie di imprevisti ¿ in una Buick incidentatissimä Una esilarante gita in Messico di tre settimane ¿ sempre in una Buick, sempre malandatissima ¿ con due amici altrettanto folcloristici, di cui uno affetto dalla mania per l¿igiene e l¿altro ossessionato dalla vendetta di Montezumä Questi e altri spassosi episodi della vita di Rick Reale vengono narrati attraverso la storia delle sue autovetture e dei suoi furgoni: una sfilata di veicoli con cui il nostro protagonista ha compiuto peripezie di ogni genere, e che talvolta lo hanno accompagnato per una vita intera, contornata da amici, soci, appassionati di automobili d¿epoca e altri personaggi variopinti e bizzarri. Automezzi per lo più affidabili (pneumatici un pö meno), meccanici competenti, frammenti di un¿epoca che non c¿è più... col suo tono scanzonato e a tratti un pö nostalgico, questo libro ricrea l¿atmosfera di un¿America che non c¿è più.

Birthright werewolves were once the companions of kings. They lived among humans as pets and guardians until it was discovered that the Bite of a Birthright passes an infection that creates a more violent and uncontrollable werewolf called Sauvage. Only humans are susceptible to the Bite and most quickly go insane, unable to handle the wolf that is thrust inside them. They are taken over by the wolf and morph into monsters. Few are capable of controlling their wolves and they are indeed the lucky ones. Because elves and fae are immune to the Bite, their warnings against creating Sauvage go unheeded by the humans. In the late 16th century, one Sauvage stood against the humans in a struggle for werewolf independence. He was defeated by the humans, but only with the aid of the elves. Werewolves regard him as a god-like hero. Humans consider him a Judas. The elves and fae keep their opinions to themselves. In the ensuing centuries, Birthright werewolves have become mere shadows of their former glory. They are feared, shunned and in many cases killed to be used as reputed medicinal cures. As the Victorian Age dawns, bringing steam power and gaslight to an otherwise dark world, one werewolf will again rise to bring honor to her race. Born in the United American Territories on a werewolf reservation, Agatha Whistleton is given the opportunity to become a mail order bride and start a new life in Australia. The brash young country is in need of females of all persuasions. Although influenced by the Victorian government of Britain, Australia is very much a wild frontier. The penal colonies have fallen apart and the Victorian veneer has cracked. The elf High Council maintains order among the elves and several fae races, but they are constantly at odds with the humans. At the home of the marriage broker who brought her to Sydney, Agatha meets and marries Copernicus Buchanan, a widower twice her age, who happens to run a sheep station. In time, her secret is revealed. They are able to overcome their differences to make their mixed marriage a success and even begin a family. Their idyllic lives are shaken by the revelation that she is the key to another potential rebellion against humans. She is the target of a moon mad Sauvage with close ties to her husband. With the fate of Australia and all werewolves in the balance, they will have to love, honor and obey their instincts to prevent the impending destruction of their family and country.
