The Amadán Map

It’s a natural phenomenon — a small country in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean hidden from the rest of the world by a circle of unnavigable fog. It’s called Giggleswick, and twelve-year old Elliot Bisby has never heard of it, that is until he and his family are approached by an unusual man and asked to move there. Before they know it, the struggling Bisby family finds themselves on a tiny boat captained by a man who prefers a singing parrot to a compass, and they soon embark on a journey that no other seaman could make and live to tell about.

In Giggleswick, Elliot and his parents find themselves mingling with a colorful set of locals the likes of which include an Irish-Arabian bagpiper, a man who thinks he’s a knight, and a woman who does her exercises on the roof in high-heels.

At last, Elliot has found the happiness he’s been waiting for and a place to call his own, but what he doesn’t know, is that helping Giggleswick to remain hidden from the rest of the world may prove far more difficult and dangerous than he could have ever imagined …

Drive Route 66 with four women seeking adventure on the road. The adventure turns into enlightenment on Route 66 USA that is often humorous, painful, and rewarding.

Live from the Road takes the reader on an often humorous, yet harrowing, journey as Meg Newton and Sally Sutton seek a change in the mundane routine of their lives. Joined by their daughters, they set off on a journey of salvation enhanced by the glories of the Mother Road.

Along the way, they are joined by a Chicago bluesman, a Pakistani liquor storeowner from Illinois, a Marine from Missouri, a gun-toting momma from Oklahoma, and a motel clerk from New Mexico.

Death, divorce, and deception help to reveal the inner journey taking place under the blazing desert sun as a Route 66 motel owner reads the Bhagavad-Gita and an eagle provides the sign they’ve all been seeking.

Enlightenment comes tiptoeing in at dawn in a Tucumcari laundromat, while singing karaoke at a bar in Gallup, New Mexico, and during dinner at the Roadkill Cafe in Seligman, Arizona.

The trip isn’t always easy as laughter turns to tears and back again. However, the four women’s lives will never be the same after the road leads them to their hearts – the true destination for these road warriors.

Desperate to earn her diploma and salvage something of her life, she transfers schools when people get too close. After switching to Woodson Prep with only two months to go until graduation, Mae keeps her goals in sight. But when she meets Ty, the “perfect boy” with his own secrets and a relentless interest in Mae, she must decide if she can stop running from the past and still protect those she loves.

Part One

“It’s normal to love a dangerous woman. They know how to wield their power, and they are not afraid of yours. They make you work for everything you get and it’s all the sweeter once you get it…”

What happens when curiosity becomes obsession?

Luck is Jack Roman’s middle name— and Chicago is his Empire. He lives to work, loves to play, and makes no commitments. But when the mysterious S. Wyatt moves into the adjoining penthouse, he’s immediately drawn to her, a striking, elusive woman who transitions seamlessly from wood-paneled board rooms to high-stakes, high-risk rescue operations in the most dangerous parts of the world.

Intrigued by her self-possession, aroused by her incredible passion, and disarmed by a vulnerability she cannot hide, Jack pursues her into the nexus of her dangerous present and her enigmatic past. An entire world is revealed to Jack, where living for pleasure becomes fighting for survival. And the only woman he wants may be the one he cannot have…

Tame Social Anxiety, Meet New People, Build Self-Confidence

The Shyness Curse

40 percent to 45 percent of adults say they are shy. Every excursion out of their home feels like a minefield littered with something terrifying—people they don’t know.

Social anxiety is one of the most common hurdles people face. Confronted with the options of breaking out of their shell or retreating inward, most shy people choose the latter; the possibilities of ridicule, shame or awkwardness are simply too overwhelming to handle.

Okay, I’m Shy. So What?

While it would be untrue to say that no shy person has ever found success in life or business, the truth is that hiding behind shyness is limiting. The whole depth and beauty of forming close relationships with others often evades the shy person.
Those with the confidence to meet new people, to pursue what they want and to be vulnerable enough to help others in need are the people who will find the most beauty and success in the world.
Overcoming shyness is not simply about fulfilling your needs; the most successful people tend to be those who help others get what they want while pursuing their own desires. The ability to give to others, and in turn increase one’s own bounty, requires courage and self-confidence.

But I’ve Always Been Shy. There’s No Hope for Me.

Michal Stawicki, author of From Shy to Hi, can relate. Until recently, Michal was painfully shy; it held him back in his social life, kept him from achieving his dreams and broke his heart every time he saw someone in need and couldn’t muster the courage to offer them help or even a kind word of encouragement.
That is, until he decided to change. When Michal began a journey of self-actualization, he realized that he needed to banish his social anxiety and build self-confidence to get where he wanted to be.

Success Through Consistency and Small Actions

Like the rest of the philosophy which guided Michal’s new-found growth, success in conquering his shyness came from taking small, daily steps. For most people suffering from social anxiety, the idea of instantly stepping out of their shell and becoming outgoing is terrifying, and for that reason is not the right approach.
Instead, Michal developed a practice focused on helping the shy person achieve confidence over time, through small, easily achieved building blocks.

From Shy to Hi includes:
● The sources of shyness
● Confidence and trust
● Visualization and mental exercises to build a confident mindset
● A 21-day blueprint for overcoming shyness, and:
● Personal success stories from the author and tips from readers

Banish Your Social Anxiety and Live Your Dreams

Looking forward to the future, confident you? You too can take small steps that drive big results. From Shy to Hi will show you how!

For most dancers, at one stage in their career they will most likely have to attend an audition, whether it is to get into a school or to get that job they’ve always wanted.

Unlike a performance where you’ve practiced your steps many times before displaying them to an audience, the unknown of what an audition can be a nerve wracking experience, and a different challenge altogether.

What to wear? What companies are out there? What can I expect?

Luckily for you, having experienced my fair share of auditions, I have compiled this book to guide you in your ventures. This short volume in the “Aspiring Ballerina’s Guide to” series is designed to help ballet dancers identify these challenges and give themselves the best chance of success in an audition.

From resume details, photos and audition DVD’s, to choosing the perfect attire, we’ve got it covered. You’ll also find links to many company websites along with other helpful resources.
