Darcy's got the wealth and wit, but Elizabeth's heart is already spoken for. Cue the romance and shenanigans, because the game of love is about to get serious. **Elizabeth Bennet** It was supposed to be simple: come back to Derbyshire, see childhood friends, maybe fall in love. But that was before I realized George Darcy, the boy I'd set my heart on when I was just thirteen, was engaged to Lady Lucilla. Things I didn't expect this week: 1. Realizing I still had feelings for George. (Old habits die hard.)2. Being warned off by his oh-so-serious older brother. (As if I'd listen!)3. Finding myself in the middle of a love square? Love rhombus? Whatever it's called.4. Being oddly drawn to the older Darcy brother. (His eyes... that's all I'm saying.)5. Being the unintentional wrench in a seemingly perfect engagement.6. Participating in the wittiest banter battles of my life. (With Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome, no less.)>**Fitzwilliam Darcy** I pride myself on being the responsible Darcy. But responsibility gets a tad complicated when Elizabeth Bennet storms back into our lives. This week's unforeseen complications: 1. Trying to keep my wayward brother, George, on the straight and narrow. (Impossible.)2. Watching Elizabeth, with her sparkling eyes and razor-sharp wit, aim for George's heart. (Torture.)3. Reminding myself I'm trying to keep her away for George's own good. (A lie I keep telling myself.)4. Finding it increasingly challenging to keep my distance. (Why does she have to be so... captivating?)5. Becoming entangled in a mess of love, loyalty, and longing.6. Wishing, for the first time in my life, that I wasn't the responsible one.7. Realizing that perhaps it's my heart that's at stake in this unexpected game of romance.
A diverse range of emotions shared in poetic form. They are the ever-shifting lens through which we experience life. The poems range from haikus to Poe-esque style, and from cheer to gloom. So, as the back cover states "delve inside and read my lines, allow yourself to not confine the feelings carried deep inside, which sometimes hurt, but sometimes guide".
I've thought about writing this book for many years, but I just never seemed to find the time. Now that I have lived through hundreds of successfully retired clients, I have chosen to share the good and the bad about many facets of retirement or the next chapter in life, maybe the finest chapter in life. I've seen so many clients successfully transition into this next phase, and I've watched many clients flounder without purpose in their lives.My main goal is always to leave this world better than I found it and to help as many people live their dreams by putting a plan in place. That plan may only take a couple of years, or it could take decades to foster. The key is without planning, you have no plan.This book is for people that want to have the most enjoyable life possible - the definition of enjoyable is different for everyone. Wealth can be defined in so many ways, and you have to find a way to feel wealthy living within your means, not someone else's means. I see people without a lot of financial wealth living out their dreams to their fullest, and I see people with immense wealth living miserable lives and not making worthwhile memories because they have not taken the time to figure out what they really want in life.

A gladly captivating enchantment of a first book, the writer Caroline Reddy gives us poems about healing and transformation after trauma. Reddy's voice takes us from the rocket bombardment of a child hiding in a shelter beneath a building, to vivid personal incarnations of Zen philosophy as seen through the eyes of a martial artist, to the beguiling power of the feminine in relation to the natural world by a women casting spells over a fireplace in a dark forest; Reddy is always returning us to the tribal, the sacred dance, the ancient gathering places of human beings, places where healing and growth and understanding turn our outward darkness into inward brightness.
In 1971, at age 22, Toby Marion joined the Peace Corps. He was tasked with training high school science teachers in rural Afghanistan, and later with teaching in the Faculty of Engineering in Kabul. In text rich with description and detail, Toby relates his experiences living among a Farsi-speaking Muslim people, learning their language, their culture, their literature, their food. At the time Afghanistan was desperately poor, characterized by an ancient Islamic culture, a Pashtun monarchy and Farsi-speaking minorities descended from ancient Central Asian empires. The people readily accepted and welcomed American support. However, at this time towards the end of the Cold War, a revolution under the influence of the USSR was at hand. Toby's meticulous research into the historical background of Afghanistan's chaotic past will help the reader understand why this time period was the beginning of fifty years of strife and tragedy, culminating with America's unsuccessful efforts at nation building.

This book tries to highlight what appears to the author to be some of the shortcomings of the foreign policy approach of the Philippines. The author is of the view that two considerations in decision-making are deficient: national interest and state power. Through this work, the author makes suggestions, based on his background and experience in government. On the national interest, the country started out with a huge swathe of territory bequeathed by the Treaty of Paris between the United States and Spain in 1898. The country's leaders did not cement ownership of that wide expanse of water. On state power, the Philippines did not prepare itself so that it could secure its territory after independence in 1946. While it is true that it was beset with internal dissidence, the external defense mission was way short of fulfilment under the mandatory portfolio of nationhood. For this neglect, the Philippines paid the price in that it lost territory, including access to resources on and beneath water, that it was entitled to under international law. Given the above-mentioned historical background, the author suggests that Philippine leaders, diplomats and shapers of public opinion need to shift their focus of analysis from the current naive approach of legalism to realism. Realism is at the base of international political analysis in the sense that its approach precisely takes care of what the Philippines needs as a theoretical framework. It was codified by Morgenthau, systematized by Waltz, and applied by practitioners like Kennan and Kissinger. The loss of territory and territorial rights is one of the most devastating blows that a nation can suffer. Never again should the Philippines bear such a catastrophe. It is time to mature as a nation. Leadership is key to the renaissance of the Philippine psyche. The future generations of Filipinos will depend on two vital elements that their leaders should concentrate on: the appropriate foreign and defense policies consistent with the national interest and the required state power. These elements have to be underpinned by a robust economy to support expenditures and investments in them. The Philippines has to be equal to the task if it seeks to deserve to be a respectable state in the community of nations.

Listed on Reader's Digest Best Short Books Under 150 Pages Listed as one of Flavorwire's 10 Must Read Books for March, 2014 Listed as one of Entropy's 10 Best Novels of the First Half of 2014 "A miniature masterpiece of mood." -- San Diego City Beat "Hobson is adept at matching mood with setting." -- The Dallas Morning News"Hobson establishes a city that is as lively as Twin Peaks..." --Electric Literature "...ultimately a story of appreciation and hope." -- Southern Literary Review "DEEP ELLUM is a novel of beauty and power, about family and transcending family, lives unwinding even as they tangle together. Brandon Hobson writes luminescent prose of hard-edged, quiet intensity. His narrator owns a voice at once mysterious and intimate, like a long-lost, slightly suspect friend returning to tell you how the world really is. In a mere 120 pages, Hobson fashions a universe so vivid you can read it in one sitting and stagger back to the world entranced." >"Both dreamy and gritty, bleak and oblique, DEEP ELLUM treads the sketchy margins of Dallas, following one young man as he tries to reconnect with his family and reconcile his mystifying past with his uncertain present. Brandon Hobson's mordant portrait of the lost and damaged among us recalls the estranged, drifting world of Denis Johnson's Jesus' Son.">"Among all the bloated bookstore shelves with bloated books by bloated major presses there's Calamari Press and Brandon Hobson's DEEP ELLUM-sleek and powerful like some bright firework rising from the bloat. I feel lucky to have discovered this book.">"If Dickens had written Through the Looking Glass or Alice in Wonderland, the result might have been Brandon Hobson's magically irreal and raw take, taking us deep into DEEP ELLUM. This fever-dreamed novel is adept at offering a gripping journey, scored without traction, not slippery but mired up to its one-thousand-yard staring eyeballs in that delicious sensation of general dread, that exhausted exhausted static velocity, all that going, going nowhere very very fast."-Michael Martone
To whom it may concern: I quit.Preston Michael Shaw. PMS, as I like to call him. I don't need his job. I don't need his fancy designer suits or his arrogance or his claims that I put a hex on him, because of course a strong, empowered woman needs to put a spell on a man. As if I want him. Pfft. He should be so lucky. I definitely don't need his irritating demands for caramel-coconut coffee or his fixation on being on time. Spoiler-I'm not, ever. I certainly don't appreciate how his touch singes my skin. Literally. I need to stop obsessing about him. It's just hormones. One roll in the silk sheets and I'll be over him. But we can't sleep together until my best friend-his real assistant-comes back from vacation. Damn his admirable morals and my flaming panties. And now I've been cursed, because I can't resist the hottest, most annoying man I've ever known... Author's note: His Temporary Assistant is a standalone office romantic comedy set in our small town Kensington Square, which is near Crescent Cove. It has a happily-ever-after ending and no cliffhanger.
