Book excerpt: The Chicago Honey Bear cheerleaders, in their iconic white boots, cheered and danced their way across Soldier Field right into the hearts of Chicagoans and Bears fans throughout the world for nine NFL seasons. Fans watched these talented, vivacious, young women help support the team through one of the best decades of Bears football, leading up to the 1986 Super Bowl XX championship.But while celebrating the Super Bowl XX victory, the Honey Bears found out they would never take the field again. The abrupt decision by Bears management sent shock waves throughout the Bears nation and the entire National Football League.Legendary NFL co-founder and owner of the Chicago Bears, George "Papa Bear" Halas, wanted nothing more than to have cheerleaders on the sidelines at Soldier Field in Chicago; and an amazing staff was quickly put together to make his dream a reality. So why were the Honey Bears sent packing after one of the most successful seasons in the Chicago Bear's history?"Missing from the Sidelines" poses that question, along with many more:* Why were the Honey Bears disbanded? Was it the Playboy scandal? Was it fraternization between players and cheerleaders?* Were the Honey Bears a distraction to the players on the field?* Was the disbandment of the Honey Bears really just a "business decision?"* Is there a Honey Bear curse and will it ever be lifted?Written and compiled by two former Honey Bears, "Missing from the Sidelines" opens the door to the behind-the-scenes world of the Honey Bears through their own personal stories. Including an exclusive new interview with Coach Mike Ditka, stories from the Bear's notorious super fans, and over 400 Honey Bear photos, "Missing from the Sidelines" is a must-read for any Chicago Bear's fan!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of men who are hurting—and hurting America by their absence Man Out describes the millions of men on the sidelines of life in the United States. Many of them have been pushed out of the mainstream because of an economy and society where the odds are stacked against them; others have chosen to be on the outskirts of twenty-first-century America. These men are disconnected from work, personal relationships, family and children, and civic and community life. They may be angry at government, employers, women, and "the system" in general—and millions of them have done time in prison and have cast aside many social norms. Sadly, too many of these men are unsure what it means to be a man in contemporary society. Wives or partners reject them; children are estranged from them; and family, friends, and neighbors are embarrassed by them. Many have disappeared into a netherworld of drugs, alcohol, poor health, loneliness, misogyny, economic insecurity, online gaming, pornography, other off-the-grid corners of the internet, and a fantasy world of starting their own business or even writing the Great American novel. Most of the men described in this book are poorly educated, with low incomes and often with very few prospects for rewarding employment. They are also disproportionately found among millennials, those over 50, and African American men. Increasingly, however, these lost men are discovered even in tony suburbs and throughout the nation. It is a myth that men on the outer corners of society are only lower-middle-class white men dislocated by technology and globalization. Unlike those who primarily blame an unjust economy, government policies, or a culture sanctioning "laziness," Man Out explores the complex interplay between economics and culture. It rejects the politically charged dichotomy of seeing such men as either victims or culprits. These men are hurting, and in turn they are hurting families and hurting America. It is essential to address their problems. Man Out draws on a wide range of data and existing research as well as interviews with several hundred men, women, and a wide variety of economists and other social scientists, social service providers and physicians, and with employers, through a national online survey and in-depth fieldwork in several communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I believe in the power of purpose. Join me as I walk through both my traumatic experiences and triumphant victories to reveal that even in our dark places in life, God never stops shining his light. From a young child I was certain of my future, but as lack of faith and bad choices reframed it, God took my unplanned misfortune and painted his masterpiece. Through these experiences, lessons, and blessings, I learned that we only become prisoners when we allow other things and people to change the course that God set for us. My story further reveals that nothing or no one can take from you what God has placed before you; we are only lost along the way. In spite of hopelessness, suicide, abuse, homelessness, and poverty, he said I would survive. God spoke life into me, into my purpose, thus into this book so that anyone who read it would be led out of their dark places into his light, therefore breaking free of their prisons and reaching their purpose as well. I am blessed to share with you all what strikes the core of our lives and peels away the layers of our existence to reverse the negative impact of society, self-hatred, lack of faith, and gross ignorance.

Book excerpt: Words are my weapon. Stories wrap around my soul, choking me, capturing you. I don't work in dreams. I don't offer escapes. I cage you within my nightmares. Magnolia Grace is a horror writer, despite what the name might suggest. One of the best in the business, if you asked around. Pressure comes with that title. Expectation for the next nightmare. The next bestseller. Sickness. That's what it is. She can't be healthy. Because that means she won't write. And she hasn't been writing. A looming deadline and a crumbling psyche drive her into the woods. To a cabin which was the site of a grizzly murder. A serial killer, butchering women, toying with her. Her plan is to borrow some of the horror that seeped into the soil. But hers follows her. The woods are meant to be her escape. But they are almost her demise. Almost. He was an unlikely saviour. An unexpected muse. He has horrors of his own. A motorcycle club looking to settle a score. A soul too broken to offer her anything but pain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People are always going missing—some accidently and others on purpose. Files are kept on these people until their cases are closed, but some will never be solved. The team were asked to go to the Isle of Wight to oversee an Indian diplomat’s visit, and whilst there, Percy told of the disappearance of a woman, an acquaintance of Alicia’s, who had left her daughter at the bookshop for Granny to look after until Alicia came back. No one knew where Sandra had disappeared to, leaving behind her child and husband. Later on, a father reported a missing daughter, his eighteen-year-old had been missing for six months. This was a puzzle James and Alicia could not let go; several ideas came up but proved fruitless in the search. If foul play did not happen, just how does a young woman disappear? No one had seen or heard from her for several months; they hoped the explanation was not sinister. Their lawyer friend asked the team whether they could look into a nursing home death. There had been unexplained deaths, and the patients were frightened. Percy recognised the nurse under suspicion—could he catch him out? There were signs also that their old enemy, the Sahib, was issuing orders from his jail cell to cause harm to James and Alicia. A fire bomb was thrown into the office. Could this be a sign for their future? Would they always be looking over their shoulders?
