Meldrick, the Master of Death, has gathered to him four crowns - the means by which he will be able to rule the world as the lands each crown belongs to slowly falls into darkness without its power source. All he lacks is the destruction of the legendary trinity of the chosen ones, prophesied to protect the world. From him. In the tropical paradise known as Somerton Island, young Kale Dillans finds himself faced with an immense task, as the title of the Chosen One Leader is given to him.

There they must stop Meldrick forever and foil the master in his evil purpose.
When Elison Hart was seven years old, she lost everything with a big bang; her parents, her little sister Aless, and her home Keynan, the land of magicians, a floating island in the sky which would never soar again. Only approximately eight years later, a week before her fifteenth birthday, Elison discovers that her sister still lives, only she's living with Mildred, Sister of Death. Elison is one of the three CCO members, along with Kale Dillans and Tyson Smith, prophesied to save the world form an unearthly darkness. Now the trio must begin their second adventure to reconnect planet Cascade, as each of its lands float scattered in the galaxy. With the help of their new friends, Merlin the Magician, Cindy, and Viviane "Lady of the Lake", Elison realizes she isn't the last of her kind. The Sister of Death wants revenge against them for "murdering" her brother, and will do absolutely anything to get what she wants. In order to defeat this new threat, Elison might have to defeat her long-lost sister as well.

Adolescents and emerging adults today spend an estimated seven hours daily attending to media. The media teens attend to commonly present relationships between men and women as a "game" or "competition" in which women seduce through their physical appearance and the masculinity of men is defined through sexual conquest. A growing body of research suggests that viewing this sexualized media may contribute to adolescents’ and emerging adults’ understanding of and behaviors around romantic and sexual relationships. Using social cognitive theory of gender development, scripting theory, and heterosexual script theory as a framework, Scripting Adolescent Romance presents methods and analyses of data from in-depth interviews with 16 high school and young college students, and focus groups with over 100 individuals in this age group. Findings provide a rarely seen view inside youths’ private spaces—their bedrooms and their social media spaces. In often highly-personal conversations, youth provide in-depth information about how they understand and navigate virginity, romantic relationships, sexual situations, and interpersonal violence. Their discussions of "Netflix and chill," Facebook stalking, and the scorecard script illuminate aspects of romance and sex that may be uniquely characteristic of today’s young people. This book is a must-read for parents of adolescents, and promises to be an enjoyable, insightful text for classes about media effects, adolescent development, gender roles, and sexual health.

I was going along on this journey and came to notice that I had no joy, nor did I have the ability to create happiness for myself.

My heart had been snuffed out, and I felt helpless and depleted. I was numb. Life will bring its stuff, and I want to help with the process of being prepared when the tornadic winds blow. This book will provide some tools needed for building your permanent plan to fulfill the purpose and help gain a clear understanding about what it will take to become unstuck, walk in freedom and be the prolific human being you were created to be.

Ryker was the quintessential success story. Small town boy studied hard, moved to the big city, and became what every businessman dreams of and what most women lust after. However, it wasn't until he returned to small town Georgia that Ryker met the woman who would capture his heart. Sitting in the old rickety church, he heard the voice of an angel. When he lifted his eyes, he saw his future bride. What he didn't realize was that the woman with the angelic voice, Lyriq James, had once fallen and was still struggling to regain her footing. Despite the objections of his beloved mother and concerns of the local pastor, Ryker was convinced that Lyriq was divinely created for him. It wasn't long before Ryker realized that stealing Lyriq away to the big city may have been more than she was prepared for. Los Angeles had all the trappings that caused Lyriq to fall from grace five short years ago. It offered her the same seductive high that took the life of Ryker's father, the same enticement that his mother had warned him about. But Lyriq was his now, to have and to hold until death do they part. He took his vows and his faith seriously, but would that be enough to pull her back from the cliff she was about to fall from? Were the friends and faith leaders that he turned to for help going to be the ones to push his wife into the clutches of a demon in order to save their own souls?
