Book excerpt: The catalyst for "In A Hurry To Wait" was beginning the story of Saph and AC in the first book, "Reverse Atlantis - Saph's Tale". I didn't intend to create a series of books when I finished Saph's origins but after I included AC's character I couldn't resist. To be honest I began to get more interested in AC's life and started to picture him as a lead rather than just a background character. "When Two Generals Make One - A Caesar's Story" was finished I was so pleased to have brought his life to light. So many things had happened in their relationship by then. There are events that happen in this book that test their bond. There really is only so much one relationship can take. So, the decision has to be made if it is really worth it all. Of course I know they are fictitious characters but there was a part of me that felt I owed it to them to finish on a good note. I hope I did them justice in the end because this last story, in it's entirety really helped me to let go of AC and Saph finally.

Book excerpt: In her eagerly anticipated second novel, Mail on Sunday Novel Competition winner Isabel Ashdown explores the treacherous territory of adolescent friendships, and traces across the decades the repercussions of a dangerous relationship. In August 1985, Sarah Ribbons celebrates her 15th birthday in the back garden of the suburban seaside house she shares with her aging father. As she embarks on her final year at Selton High School for Girls, Sarah's main focus is on her erratic friendships with Tina and Kate, her closest allies one moment, her fiercest opponents the next, as they compete for the attention of the new boy, Dante. When her father is unexpectedly taken ill, Sarah is sent to stay with Kate's family. The girls have never been closer—until events take a sinister turn. Now, as she prepares for her school reunion, 39-year-old Sarah has to face up to the truth of what really happened back in the summer of 1986.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last four years, the Chief Judge's office at the Office of Medicare Hearings and Appeals has squandered millions of our tax dollars hiring HQ staff instead of worker bees. It affects all of us, not just those enrolled in Medicare. Hurry Up and Wait relies on the perspective its author gained presiding over more than 3,500 Medicare hearings as an administrative law judge. It gives an overview of Medicare, explains the appeal process, shows how mismanagement at OCALJ and poor work by CMS contractors created a 600,000 case backlog, analyzes proposals to fix the problem, provides real solutions, and shows you how to make your voice heard to make much needed changes in the system. A portion of the proceeds are donated to worthy causes, such as the Center for Medicare Advocacy, and Save Lakewood Hospital. Note: You can buy a book without setting up a Lulu account. Thank you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can You Help Me?: Living in the Turbulent World of Huntington Disease shares the surprising, insightful, challenging, and even encouraging stories of patients and their families who live with Huntington Disease. Having seen patients for more than 40 years, Dr Thomas Bird, a pioneer neurogeneticist, adds a human touch to this genetic brain disease that devastates persons during mid-life when they can least afford it. With a brief history of Huntington Disease and the occasional scientific detail, the true heart of the book is the human experience of the disorder: � The man who cannot stay out of prison because he is addicted to being a burglar. � Another man shoots and kills his roommate while watching television and cannot explain why he did it. � The woman with Huntington Disease copes with her depression by using Texas line dancing. � A twelve year old girl with juvenile Huntington Disease who can barely walk and talk, but her classmates rally around with touching and heartfelt support. � And the 72 year old man with late onset Huntington Disease and severe depression is made worse by ECT, but improved (for a while) with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. These are just some of the compelling stories of people of all ages and in all walks of life who feel trapped by a progressive degenerative brain disease from which there is no escape.

Book excerpt: A novel about one girl’s journey to the arctic, where she discovers the power of letting go of pain and opening up to second chances When twelve-year-old Talia—still reeling from the recent death of her mother—is forced to travel with her emotionally and physically distant whale-researcher father to the Arctic for the summer, she begins to wonder if the broken pieces inside of her will ever begin to heal. Like her jar of wishes, Talia feels bottled up and torn. Everything about life in Churchill feels foreign, including Sura, the traditional Inuit woman whom Talia must live with. But when Sura exposes her to the tradition of storytelling, she unlocks something within Talia that has long since been buried: her ability to hope, to believe again in making wishes come true. A rich and poignant story about opening up—to new people, to second chances, to moving forward with life. Praise for Waiting for Unicorns: "Debut author Hautala's writing in this first-person narrative is lyrical and evocative; her descriptions of the landscape are vivid. Written by an author to watch, this quiet story of loss and healing will appeal to thoughtful readers." --Kirkus Reviews "This poignant story demonstrates that opening up to new experiences, places, and people can enrich life even in the aftermath of tragedy."--School Library Journal “[An] affecting exploration of grief and the hope that can come through the love of good friends. With spellbinding descriptions…this story will stay with readers.”--Publishers Weekly “Contemplative writing…a thoughtful examination of loss and hope.”--Booklist "Hautala mines the frigid setting for some exquisitely wrought metaphors of sadness and grief, and Tal’s reflections on her situation are lyrical and yet still appropriate, given her age. Readers who were touched by Holly Goldberg Sloan’s Counting by 7s will find this to be a similarly moving tale."--BCCB Reviews "Middle school readers will embrace Talia and her new family in the Arctic and perhaps receive the message about the power of stories to heal."--VOYA Reviews "This is a well-written tween novel that deals with growing pains, grief, and loneliness."--School Library Connection
