The Revenge of Bridget Cleary

About The Revenge of Bridget Cleary:

Exiled for a murder her father committed, Brigid Cleary has until midsummer to gather what she needs for readmission to her home in the fairy mound: a chest of stolen gold and a chest full of her father’s blood. With nothing but her own wits and an ability to be mostly unseen, she takes a position as a scullery maid in a country manor house, where stealing gold is easy as dusting the candlesticks.

When discovery of her thieving becomes likely, she scarpers, embarking on a madcap season in London. With midsummer fast approaching, Brigid must recoup her stolen gold in any way she can, even if it means modeling for a lecherous pre Raphaelite artist, posing as a young debutante to spy on other debutantes, and forming a clandestine Pugilism Club for Young Ladies.

With gold filling her pockets and her father newly released from prison, the path back to the fairies should be clear. Or would be, were it not for her growing feelings for Edmund, the gentle young lord who hired her to spy on his sister; her burgeoning sense of loyalty and friendship to Adelaide, the sister upon whom she was meant to spy; and the unsettling question of whether she should–or even could–bloodily avenge her mother’s death.

Inspired by the actual 1895 murder of Bridget Cleary by her husband Michael, the struggle for Irish Home Rule, and events surrounding the late pre Raphaelite artistic movement, The Revenge of Bridget Cleary has been heralded by author Joanna Ruth Meyer as “equal parts haunting, compelling, and thoughtful.”

He would be forced onto a quest of unparalleled magic and danger by forces unknown to him. Hellbent on world control. evil necromancer Crepitus sent assassins to Streamside, forcing Nathaniel and his brother into a fight for existence and a struggle to regain his birthright and save his kingdom. It is an epic fantasy of immense sweep set in the misty beginnings of the world and tells of the struggle of one young man, facing War and Magic, to survive.

A Quickening Wind

About A Quickening Wind:

In a time before history — when Athens was only a little town and Rome not even a dream — a great civilization flourished on the island of Crete. With paved roads and indoor plumbing and a palace with a thousand rooms, the city of Knossos was the wonder of the world.

In a small mountain village, a girl called Lyssa is about to set off on an adventure that will take her to the center of Minoan civilization, the grand city of Knossos — in search of answers. Her best friend, a boy named Tak, has disappeared. Everyone else believes him dead. She believes he is in Knossos.

But what she finds in the city is far more mysterious, far stranger than what she could’ve imagined. To find out the truth behind the messages she has received, the visions she has seen, she will have to go even deeper into the unknown, and take actions that could change the course of history.

A Quickening Wind is the first book of an epic historical fantasy, a thousand page adventure exploring themes of friendship, purpose, belonging and belief.

The story continues in Then the Moon Trembled, and concludes in Days Beyond Numbering.

Augland 54 is the Pacific Northwest’s most extravagant theme park. Those with Suits choose the body they want and live the life of their dreams…and those without Suits work for the Artificial Existence Center, or AEC.

So she decides to fight back. After all, if Augland is going to make her dress up as a red-headed warrior princess, then she’s more than willing to become one.

In a corporation-ruled world inhabited by the augmented bodies of the wealthy, securely cut off from the rest in life-extending pods, Ashton exposes the sham of corporate success and refuses to remain a cog in the machine. The only thing that matters now is freedom.

Ring Fold by Scott Swisher

Ring Fold by Scott Swisher

“High-octane, engrossing, and action-packed. A truly unmissable sci-fi read.” — Readers’ Favorite

“An exciting, heartfelt time travel novel. Scott Swisher mixes up scene-setting and action-based adventure exceptionally well. His imaginative descriptions of different historical periods transport readers with ease, and strong character development make this enjoyable sci-fi tale a standout.” — SPR

Jordan Zesker is one of only five surviving descendants of “The Ring.” She thinks the 1920s are tough, but family debt and speakeasy blues will soon seem insignificant. Her blood type, a bona fide blessing and a curse, has placed her in the sights of TEMPUS. Shadowy forces have long worked to weaponize the chosen few endowed with the gift to transcend time and space … and absolutely nowhere is safe.

When Jacob appears out of the blue, bearing news too strange to believe, a staggering decision must be made: will Jordan cling to her desolate life or trust this stranger and help assemble an intergenerational team to somehow save humanity?

Accessing the Fold, an extra-dimensional passageway through time, Jordan must race to find her fated kin across the ages. Rocco in 1956. Paul in 1973. Steffi in 1984. Carissa in 2015. Each will prove essential in the battle for humankind’s future—and past.

Should diabolic entities succeed in overtaking the Fold, it won’t just mean the end of Jordan’s kind but all things good.

When American orphan, Bree, arrives at Norwood College—the elite English training ground of nannies to the world’s rich and powerful—she knows that making it through the first year to land a spot in the coveted certificate program is the key to her future.

Life Skills for Your ADHD Teen: Coping Skills and Life Lessons to Prepare Your Teen for The Emotional World Ahead

About Life Skills for Your ADHD Teen: Coping Skills and Life Lessons to Prepare Your Teen for The Emotional World Ahead:

All teens need help preparing for the adult world. For parents of an ADHD teen, additional navigation is essential—starting today!

The average human brain isn’t fully developed until around the age of 25. That’s already 7 years into adult life.

When you consider the neuro differences between a typical brain and an ADHD brain, your teen may have greater developmental challenges.

Think of how hard it is to sit down and dedicate time to your budget or to find a moment to stay on top of household chores.

When the world gives you (an adult) problem after problem, it’s almost impossible to control your emotions.

But you know how to manage your impulses, your focus, and your time. Does your teen?

The emphasis on early intervention is wonderful—if you have a toddler.

However, the support for parents who need to teach their teens complete independence is extremely limited. Until now!

In this companion for adults with ADHD teens, here is just a fraction of what you will discover:

● What ADHD feels like for a teen but how this doesn’t have to stop them from becoming self-empowered adults
● How a potential lack of dopamine and reduced frontal lobe activity makes life for an ADHD teen even more challenging
● How a teen’s enthusiasm for technology can help with personal hygiene
● 3 diets proven by experts to ensure your teen is getting all the nutrients they need
● How to get teens to use their senses and get excited about cooking before flying the nest
● Techniques to support teens when they are feeling stressed, anxious, or angry
● 10 ways for teens to get better at time management, along with a BONUS — the procrastination enemy!
● How color-coding makes organization simpler for the ADHD brain
● The answer to one of parents’ great debates—Should your teen get a job?
● How teens can start managing their money before they get into financial trouble
● What essential adult documentation a teen will have to be responsible for and how to model a practical filing system
● How to teach teens crucial skills like listening and positive self-talk to boost their confidence in social situations

And much more.

For sure you have done your research and found tips to help teens be more responsible or how to help your ADHD teen improve their grades. You might have found yourself more frustrated than when you began.

All children are unique and each child will go through the teenage years differently. The exact same can be said for teens with ADHD. Take it from someone who knows!

You don’t have to go through this feeling like you are alone. From personal experience and with the right advice, you can be a rock for your teen, improve your relationship, and prepare them for an amazing life.
