Living Under A Melancholy Cloud by Alan W. Hounshell

Living Under A Melancholy Cloud by Alan W. Hounshell

Job Cusp has felt sad and doomed all his life, experiencing more loss than most people do in their lifetime. Job’s depression often causes him to want to hurt himself and gets him removed from his home. He often finds himself under a grey cloud that follows him wherever he goes. Moments of normalcy are often associated with writing stories, which allows him to break away from his depression for short periods.

After his mother and father die, Job finds a lockbox with the truth about who his biological parents are and where his darkness comes from. Now, alone with no more family to turn to and on the verge of another major depressive episode, he must face his inner demons and decide if life is worth living.

Our Last Chance by Bob Keaton

Our Last Chance by Bob Keaton

What happens when the old college gang—many of whom haven’t seen each other in 20 years—get together for a weekend?
Tommy, their host, is leaving the country, but he hasn’t told anybody why. That—and a lot more—gets revealed during the last barbecue at Peckerwood, his plantation south of Atlanta. He bought the decaying Southern relic 10 years ago and put a lot of money into the restoration. Now he is ready to show it off. So, he invited the old college gang for the weekend, hoping to relive some memories and maybe even create a few new ones, as he sees his friends for the last time.
Lovingly referred to as “the family,” the gang includes a soap opera star from Los Angeles with a colorful past love life; a prominent Seattle attorney still trying to overcome damage done by one of the guys back in college; an evangelist from Charleston whose ministry is based on getting high on drugs instead of Jesus; a famous New York actress with a mysterious past; and a well-known model from the 70s who now has his own agency. Everybody’s favorite professor back in college who was always there to listen to their problems shows up, but now he needs someone to listen to him.
During the weekend old rivalries are reignited. Secrets get revealed. A young guy meets his birth mother for the first time and discovers who his dad is. Old love interests get rekindled. One member of the group reveals a sex change that nobody knew about. Oh, and there’s a murder, but who, and who did it?

Take a Chance by Sofia T Summers

Take a Chance by Sofia T Summers

No one can find out my real identity… especially my new boss.

Blake made my body shudder the night I met him at a club.

So that one night should’ve been the end of it if I hadn’t started babysitting his little girl.

This new nanny position is incredibly important to me.

I’m on the run from my dangerous father.

He’d kill me and Blake if he found out we were sleeping together.

Waking up next to him every morning reminds me that life is short.

Especially for someone like me whose family is in the mafia.

So I keep my mouth shut while letting Blake pleasure me every night.

But he’s bound to find out the truth sooner or later.

And then he’ll have to save the both of us from my father.

Unless… I uncover the truth about him first.

I’m a loner and I plan to stay that way. But meeting Dice has me rethinking everything. He makes me stronger and we’re going to need to be strong to save ourselves and the forgotten children.

The Doctor’s Twins by Lydia Hall

The Doctor’s Twins by Lydia Hall

A crazy nightmare led me into the arms of a hot doctor that saved my life.

My abusive ex-husband was a bigger danger than I’d thought.

Escaping him was my only option but I’d already lost the baby growing inside me.

Ben was not only my gynecologist, he was also the man that gave me hope.

His touch soothed my pain, melting me instantly.

It made me forget that I’d escaped a dangerous criminal.

Ben was ex-military and he made me feel safe, but I’d already decided to protect my heart.

There was no way I was going to fall for my doctor.

He was way older than me and I had already been shattered by more bad news.

I’d never be able to carry a child again.

But Ben was the kind of man that could transform nightmares into miracles.

Maybe even two little miracles this time.

Surviving the College Admissions Madness

About Surviving the College Admissions Madness:

Unlike any book written about higher education, Surviving the College Admissions Madness is a complete takedown of a deeply flawed and thoroughly broken system. Unconventional, irreverent, and entertaining, Kevin Robert Martin argues that elite universities do not care about their applicants.
College admissions is highly undemocratic and dehumanizing. University bureaucracies alienate applicants from their humanity and sense of self. Reading essay advice books might help you get in, but they won’t help you stay sane. Surviving and even thriving depends on digging deep into your beliefs and understanding your behaviors within the broader context of society.
This isn’t another Admissions 101 “how-to to write a killer essay” book or a promise of “six easy steps” for Ivy League acceptance. Instead, Admissions Madness is the first of its kind to integrate applicant psychology with the sociology and economics of higher education. Martin writes for families and high school educators who want a deeper understanding of the truth.
He provides helpful advice for avoiding application mistakes, building a reasonable college list, minimizing debt, identifying cognitive errors and distortions, and helping applicants reframe their college applications. Martin equips readers with the vocabulary, frameworks, and tools to make sense of America’s broken higher education system, starting with the admissions gatekeepers.
