The story of two girls and the wild year that will cost one her life, and define the other’s for decades

Everything about fifteen-year-old Cat’s new town in rural Michigan is lonely and off-kilter until she meets her neighbor, the manic, beautiful, pill-popping Marlena. Cat is quickly drawn into Marlena’s orbit and as she catalogues a litany of firsts–first drink, first cigarette, first kiss, first pill–Marlena’s habits harden and calcify. Within the year, Marlena is dead, drowned in six inches of icy water in the woods nearby. Now, decades later, when a ghost from that pivotal year surfaces unexpectedly, Cat must try again to move on, even as the memory of Marlena calls her back.

Told in a haunting dialogue between past and present, Marlena is an unforgettable story of the friendships that shape us beyond reason and the ways it might be possible to pull oneself back from the brink.

No Agent Needed: The Hottest Tips, Tricks, and Hacks from Rockstar Real Estate Investors That Anyone Can Use to Sell Their Properties Fast and for Top Dollar without a Real Estate Agentby Matt Theriault

Have you been pondering the idea of selling a property? Thinking about how you might be able to sell it fast while maximizing the profit doing it yourself? How difficult could it be? Like, it’s not rocket science, right? LOL! Nope, it’s not. However, experience selling “for sale by owner (fsbo)” has its benefits.

With today’s technology and advancement, transacting real estate can be pretty simple. There are many different services available, whether marketing services, fulfillment services, or transaction services that can empower the average person to sell their house in a relatively short period of time for a top of the market price–so much so that a private seller such as yourself could potentially reach a detrimental level of “over” confidence in the process. Technology is great and it has its place and value, but it’s still a “people business” and the number of people involved in a real estate transaction can introduce a seemingly countless number of variables that all the technology in the world couldn’t ever expect to prepare you for.

My name is Matt Theriault, and prior to becoming a real estate investor, I was a real estate agent. I have more than a thousand transactions under my belt–actually, I have many more than that (I stopped counting a long time ago). I haven’t seen it all, but I’ve seen a lot, and that’s why I know you can, with a little help, sell your property without an agent.

So, I scrolled through my personal phone for some of the most experienced real estate investors in the country. I specifically asked my friends to join me in this book and recall some of their past transactions and impart the lessons learned from a wide array of situations where they, too, were seemingly staring easy home runs in the face. Even with all their experience and available resources, random, wild pitches and foul balls took significant bites out of their run count. They’ve now shared their lessons learned along the way, as well as some of their regrets. Where they could have done things differently, they have shared that, too.

Real estate is not an exact science. There are many moving parts and variables at play in every transaction. No one could be prepared for every possible scenario; however, I have put forth a valiant effort to prepare you.

What I’ve compiled in this book is educational and practical (as well as entertaining at times), in the interest of minimizing the potential for loss while tipping the odds in your favor for the outcome you desire. An agent has their place in a real estate transaction, but they’re certainly not required.

Wasteland to Pureland: Reflections on the Path to Awakeningby Doug Duncan

A must-read for anyone interested in exploring the true nature of reality…

"If happiness is a result, it begs the question: result of what? If objects don’t make us reliably happy, what does?"

Master teachers Acariya Doug Duncan and Catherine Pawasarat draw on decades of experience in this guide to awakening in the 21st Century. Rather than retreating from suffering, Wasteland to Pureland dives into the heart of the uncertainty and busyness of our modern world, and provides clear steps to greater fulfillment and spiritual growth.

• How your career, creativity, sex, relationship and daily life can become your spiritual practice.
• How the ego and trauma may be holding you back – and how to transcend it.
• Discover new ways to push your awakening edge.
• Maps of the self that draw from Buddhist philosophy, Western psychology and wisdom traditions such as karma yoga, astrology and tantra.
• By learning to embrace "what is" we can transform ourselves, our relationships, and our world from the inside out.
• And much, much more! (Look inside for table of contents.)

Wasteland to Pureland is packed with straightforward, heartfelt, accessible teachings and truths that are explained in a way that is both engaging and fun. This book will become a gem which you’ll pick up over and over until it’s pages are dog-eared, at which point you’ll gift it to a friend.

So if you want to develop more meaningful relationships and establish a fulfilling career, if you want more freedom in both your work and personal life, and you want to lean into your unfoldment with a sense of humor, you simply can’t afford to miss this essential and deeply enjoyable guide to the Pureland.

Bay of Fearby Kathryn Le Veque

A classic Medieval-Gothic love story complete with ghostly wanderings, a spooky castle, and a damsel in distress. Baiadepaura Castle on the storm-swept cliffs of Cornwall is a place where scary things go bump in the knight!

****************

In the Dark Ages on a remote coast of Cornwall, there was a legend of a wicked lord who was burned to death for his deeds. Everyone in Cornwall knows to avoid Baiadepaura Castle because of the ghostly happenings, said to be the spirit of Lord de Rais, who has returned to seek revenge for his grisly death.

But these are local legends, barely reaching the ears of the lord who now owns the property. The Earl of Avon has acquired the old castle and intends to use it as a base against the pirate raids his coastal properties are suffering. He sends his best knight to command the derelict old castle and make it a powerful outpost, a knight who gives no credence to the tales of ghosts and revenge.

No-nonsense, seasoned knight Tenner de Velt is a grandson of the great Ajax de Velt (THE DARK LORD) and Christopher de Lohr (RISE OF THE DEFENDER). On his father’s side, Tenner comes from a family with its own horrific horror stories of the past, so tales of roasted lords and ghosts don’t bother him in the least. He’s thrilled to have his first real command and he intends to do himself proud by ridding the Avon properties of the pirates that plague them.

Accompanying Tenner is his new wife, Annalyla St. Lo. Unlike her husband, Annalyla believes the tales and she has more than one ghostly encounter but is reluctant to tell her doubting husband, fearful that the man she is falling in love with will believe her to be silly, or worse – believe she is mad. In keeping this information to herself, Annalyla unknowingly makes it easy for the marauding pirates to take advantage of the legend of Baiadepaura Castle – and make Tenner a target.

Join Tenner and Annalyla on the spooky, windswept shores of Cornwall as they battle ghosts, pirates, and at times, each other. But the passion between them is undeniable, and the love that blossoms is strong enough to fight off the darkness that threatens them both.

Light your candle, grab your good luck charm, and make way to Baiadepaura Castle for this unforgettable romance!

Famous People: What Their Lives Revealby George Kouloukis

Great German composer Ludwig van Beethoven went through a bad period of his life around the age of 32 because he had become totally deaf. Contemplating suicide, he wrote his will. But later he overcame his hearing problem, was recognized as one of the greatest composers of all time –he wrote nine insuperable symphonies– and became a celebrated member of Viennese society.

Napoleon provides another such an example. During the years 1792 to 1809, he conquered almost all of Europe, was crowned Emperor of France, and lived a life full of grandeur, triumph, and success. But then things reversed: Napoleon lost all he had achieved, he was defeated at the Battle of Waterloo, and he was exiled ultimately to the remote island of St. Helena.

Those two examples of alternations of seasons from good to bad ones and vice versa in the lives of famous people are not the only ones. Lots of more others show the same alternations in the famous people’s lives, as indicated in detail in this book. More important is however, that the seasons of famous people alternate from good to bad and vice versa according to a certain pattern. A good season gives its place to a bad one at a given moment, and a bad season gives its place to a good one also at a given moment – and so on. In this book I explain in detail that pattern.

The existence of that pattern radically transforms the way we all live today, and helps us to live a much better life. The moment you’ve finished reading this book, you’ll be able to learn whether the years just ahead are good or bad for you, and how long this season will last. You’ll be able thus to act accordingly: if there is a storm on the horizon, you’ll take shelter in time; if sunny days loom ahead, you’ll take advantage of it before the opportunity passes. In short, you’ll be able to take crucial decisions regarding your career, marriage, family, relationships, and all other life’s issues.

You will see among other things, why you mustn’t be seized by despair and pessimism when you are in a bad season – fearing that this season will never end. Winston Churchill, for example, failed his exams in school again and again when he was in a bad season of his life, and at a moment of another of his bad seasons he said: “I am done, I am finished.” But later he became prime minister of his country.

You will also see why you can dare when you are in a good season – fate is with you. Christopher Columbus, for example, succeeded in discovering the New World since he was in a good season of his life, despite of the fact that almost everybody – the Spanish royal council included – was skeptical and had rejected his idea.

There are many other benefits deriving from the pattern the seasons alternate in the lives of famous people, as you will see in detail in the book. We start our trip by seeing in the first Chapter how the good and bad season alternated in the life of great German composer Ludwig van Beethoven.
