In this powerful novel, a young librarian grieves the loss of her husband…and discovers a love that defies classification. It’s been over three years since a train accident made a widow of Katrina Lewis, sending her and her young daughter Abbey back to the suburban town of her youth…the only place that still makes sense. Lauder Lake is the perfect place to hide and heal. Recluse rocker Adrian “Digger” Graves survived the implosion of his music career, but his muse has long lain dormant. Until Kat hires him to play at her library—not on the basis of his hard rock credentials but rather, because of the obscure kids’ TV jingle he wrote years ago. In a case of mistaken identity, Adrian stumbles into the lives of Kat and her comically lovable daughter. Using tattoos as a timeline, Adrian unfurls his life for Kat. But as the courtship intensifies, it’s unclear whose past looms larger: the widow’s or the rocker’s. Will their demons ever rest, or will they break these soul mates apart?
There are a gazillion non-fictional books about Albert Einstein. On the fictional side, he is a character in movies, plays, and operas—but you will search in vain to find a historical novel about him alone. Unlike almost all famous people in history, Einstein has strangely remained untouched—until now. Here is the story of Einstein’s life as reminisced by Albert himself on one day (March 21, 1955) less than a month before his death. Sitting in his study in Princeton, New Jersey he composes a condolence letter to the family of a friend who just died. In the process, he ruminates on his life: dreaming and day-dreaming, and conversing with his secretary, step-daughter, and friends who visit. He recalls the women in his life, his struggle with his Jewish identity, his progressive social and political ideas, and of course his radical scientific theories. In this work of historical fiction—but based on extensive research—the role of music in his life and work weaves throughout the text—like a soundtrack to a movie.
As the dress-bearer for her mother’s wedding, Laney Hudson has a lot more baggage than the bulky garment bag she’s lugging from New York to Hawaii. Laney is determined to prove she’s capable of doing something right, but running chores for her mom’s fairytale nuptials is proving to be a painfully constant reminder of her own lost love. So when she’s mistaken for the bride and bumped up to first class, Laney figures some stress-free luxury is worth a harmless white lie. Until the flight crew thinks that the man sitting next to her is Laney’s groom, and her little fib turns into a hot mess. The last thing Noah Ridgewood needs is some dress-obsessed diva landing in his first-class row. En route to his Vegas bachelor party, the straight-laced software designer knows his cold feet have nothing to do with the winter weather. When a severe storm leaves them grounded in Chicago and they find themselves booked into the last available honeymoon suite, Laney and her in-flight neighbor have little choice but to get better acquainted. Now, as her bridal mission hangs in the balance, perhaps the thing Laney gets right is a second chance at love.
This book tracks the history of the theory of relativity through Einstein’s life, with in-depth studies of its background as built upon by ideas from earlier scientists. The focus points of Einstein’s theory of relativity include its development throughout his life; the origins of his ideas and his indebtedness to the earlier works of Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Mach and others; the application of the theory to the birth of modern cosmology; and his quest for a unified field theory. Treading a fine line between the popular and technical (but not shying away from the occasional equation), this book explains the entire range of relativity and weaves an up-to-date biography of Einstein throughout. The result is an explanation of the world of relativity, based on an extensive journey into earlier physics and a simultaneous voyage into the mind of Einstein, written for the curious and intelligent reader.

Want to make some extra money with an initial outlay of 2-3 hours and $25 or less? Want to have FUN doing it? Want to work when and where you determine? Well then - you better get this book! There is an incredible opportunity for people who are personable, outgoing, friendly, like kids and that have enough common sense to come in out of the rain. Seriously! That's all it takes!

However, since then, he's made over 100,000 MORE and the knowledge you get in this book is EVERYTHING he's learned over the years about how to have fun, and how to make money doing it. Topper tells you everything you need to know in this book to soon start hearing his favorite 3 words when he's twisting for pay. Those three words are "Keep The Change!" "Keep The Change?" Yep! When the total is $12 and they hand you a $20 and say "KTC" is almost DOUBLES your income on the same customer! If you have a parent with a child in front of you, doesn't it make sense to make THEM as happy as humanly possible so that they will WANT to say, "KTC!" Sure it does! How do you get that to happen? READ THIS BOOK! Topper has been a professional clown since around 1999. He became a Certified Financial Planner in 1995. He's also an award winning clown and magician along with being an experienced public speaker and fund raiser for Children's Hospitals since 1996. Topper combines the best of all his experience into his persona as Topper the Magic Clown! This is a FUN book to read! Topper holds NOTHING back. Experienced balloon twisters have bought this book and learned a LOT about how to do what they love doing, better than ever. This book will make you happy, funny, popular, a hit with the kids, and if you follow some SIMPLE suggestions, more money than you would believe! Also, if you are looking for ways to increase the effectiveness of your church outreach efforts, THIS IS IT! Toss out the info about making money and follow the rest of info in this book! You NEVER have to charge $00.01 for a balloon, or even accept tips, if you don't want to. This information WILL help you with outreach beyond your wildest guesses. Here's what people have said about the book! The book is excellent! Even this ole' "guy" picked up a few new pointers!!! I'm excited about the several great ideas it has given me for my twisting and my gigs. I'll highly recommend your book to everyone I can who twists, clowns, or entertains children in any manner. You're sooo correct - the payment from a child of a kiss, hug, or just seeing the smile light up from something you create for them is one of the best paydays I receive. Great job!! A big ol' bump of the red nose to you! Received and loving it. I am not a twister and don't plan to be (although I'm intrigued). I bought the book for the real world insight and was very pleased with what I received. As a magician, it gave me a lot to consider in presentations to children and their parents. I enjoyed reading your book, very much. I really did enjoy it and I will be using the entertainment suggestions and advice. The section on set-ups, bags, signs and lights was great. As a new twister I needed that advice very much. It's great! Thanks. Topper's niece, at age 9, took a FEW of these ideas - at age NINE - and over 2 nights while the rest of the family was eating in a restaurant, made $90 in tips. She did it ALL herself. She knew 4-5 balloons & that was it! If you are worried about having to learn how to make a LOT of creations - STOP! You can learn about 10 in about 2-3 hours. That's plenty. You'll never miss the price of this book, but if you don't get it, you'll be missing out on FUN & some great potential income. Best Wishes & Happy Twisting! p.s. If you buy this book, send a copy of the receipt to Topper at topper@topper.us & he'll send you TOTALLY FOR FREE a VERY cool present! NO cost, at all
