College student Sara Donovan is in the homestretch of graduating when a mysterious package arrives with an invitation to an exclusive contest. One that will drastically change the winner's life. Included are unsettling photographs from forgettable chapters in her life and a threatening note strongly suggesting she participate. With no good options, Sara enters the contest and finds herself at a fabulous mansion up against eight formidable opponents, each with a dark secret and all racing to solve seven levels of riddles and puzzles. After a contestant's body is discovered, Sara contemplates dropping out when another package arrives, its chilling contents making clear she's at the center of a dangerous game with deadly consequences if she quits. But what it doesn't say is-what happens if she wins?
A 'lost' form is a form that was once practised often by the students of a martial art, but which in time has been forgotten, and information about it lost. Taekwondo is a relatively new martial art - being only sixty years old as of 2015. However, in that time, there are a few forms which have been forgotten.Unam is one such 'lost' form. Practised in the formative years of Taekwondo, the only evidence of it that remains today is in Choi Hong-hi's first edition Taekwondo textbook in Korean. (The form never made it into the English editions.) Now, more than fifty years after the form has been practised, B. T. Milnes has translated the section of Choi's 1959 textbook that describes the movements of the form.With this book, a supplementary text to Taekwondo Forms, find out what became of this ancient form, and why we no longer practise it. This book contains a line-by-line translation of the movements of the form, with detailed annotations as to what particular words and phrases mean, and how the terminology has changed in the decades since. The book also contains a discussion about the form, and a description of the movements using modern terminology, so that you can practise and perform the form yourself.

Snugglin InBy B.T. SchererSnuggling In is a charming bedtime story written in verse for children ages 2 to 6. Through gentle rhymes and heartwarming illustrations, the book follows baby animals as they cuddle up with their family, creating a soothing and comforting atmosphere for little ones as they drift off to sleep. As they enjoy the cozy scenes of nature, children will also learn to count from one to ten in a fun and engaging way.B.T. Scherer grew up in South Florida, where she spent much of her childhood exploring the outdoors. Many animals were part of her everyday life at the beach: crabs, seagulls, pelicans, turtles, and fish; and in the country: horses, dogs, cats, chickens, possums, bunnies, and squirrels. Her love of nature led her to study biology and zoology in college, and that passion continues to inspire her today. Her stories are about the animals she came to know and love in her childhood. They are also reminiscent of the beloved bedtime stories told to her by her father.

In the year 2102, mankind has discovered the secret of eternal life. Human souls can be moved from one body to another through the process known as transference. Control of this new technology has fallen under the dominion of Jovian--a powerful prophet and head of the Church which governs every aspect of existence. Banished to a mining colony on a distant planet for lawlessness is Barrabas Madzimure--the king of thieves. Only when Barrabas faces execution does he claim that another man committed his infamous crimes decades earlier. The authorities are suspicious. Is he the Madzimure of legend, or just another victim of transference? The epic story of a personal mission, Transference takes the reader on a heart-racing journey through rebellion, revenge, self-sacrifice, and the soul's search for identity. When everything you believe about civilization is a lie, the ultimate power is truth.
