Parkton is a dangerous town, full of dark secrets, and 14-year old Byron James finds himself stranded there. To make matters worse, his two new friends – his only friends – turn out to be class rejects with an unhealthy interest in monsters. They want to discover the truth to the infamous monster house at number 809 Jacob Street, and Byron is soon caught up in their game.

Joey Blue is an old bluesman who fell into his songs and couldn’t find his way out again. Now he’s one of the Gutterbreed, a slinking shifting shadow haunting the town’s too-numerous alleys. When an old dead friend comes begging for help, Joey’s world is torn apart. He is forced to stare down the man he has become in order to rescue the man he once was – and there is only one place he can do that.

The house on Jacob Street calls to them all, but what will they find when they open its door?

Touchstone Book 1

On her last day of high school, Cassandra Devlin walked out of exams and into a forest. Surrounded by the wrong sort of trees, and animals never featured in any nature documentary, Cass is only sure of one thing: alone, she will be lucky to survive.

The sprawl of abandoned blockish buildings Cass discovers offers her only more puzzles. Where are the people? What is the intoxicating mist which drifts off the buildings in the moonlight? And why does she feel like she’s being watched?

Increasingly unnerved, Cass is overjoyed at the arrival of the formidable Setari. Whisked to a world as technologically advanced as the first was primitive, where nanotech computers are grown inside people’s skulls, and few have any interest in venturing outside the enormous whitestone cities, Cass finds herself processed as a ‘stray’, a refugee displaced by the gates torn between worlds. Struggling with an unfamiliar language and culture, she must adapt to virtual classrooms, friends who can teleport, and the ingrained attitude that strays are backward and slow.

Can Cass ever find her way home? And after the people of her new world discover her unexpected value, will they be willing to let her leave?

This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to find happiness and fulfillment in your life now.

Happiness seems to be such an easy word. You may hear a lot of people claiming how happy they are right now that they could not ask for anything more. How true is it? Or a better question would be how absolute happiness is? People define happiness in various ways.

What makes you happy right now may not necessarily be the same for other people. You can say that you are happy because you just got your new car or you are happy because you just got promoted. But the problem here is that happiness seems to be only temporary.

After using your brand new car for a few days, would you still feel as happy as the day you first drove it? A few weeks after your promotion, would you still feel as excited to go to work as the first day you got it? You might answer these questions with a “no”. Does this mean that happiness is only momentary? The answer is no.

True happiness is actually permanent. You just have to know how to find it.

One Man’s Tale of Love, Loss, and Wonder on the Long Roads of China

Tony Brasunas’s award-winning debut memoir is a bold and inspiring journey across China.

In a classroom in sultry Guangzhou, having never before left the United States nor taught a class on anything, armed only with a beginner’s grasp of the language, Brasunas is confronted daily by thirty-seven ninth graders in uniform. Only his intrinsic curiosity about Chinese culture and about himself drives him on, to keep trying in the tense classroom, to trust his instincts in the frenetic and dishonest street markets, and to make new friends from all walks of life.

When the school year ends, Brasunas sets off with just a backpack across the vastness of China, along the Silk Road in the north, and to the edge of ancient Tibet in the west. His rugged road brings daunting perils, unexpected romance, and wild twists of fate that transform his understanding of right and wrong, beauty and truth, suffering and happiness.

Double Happiness is a fascinating portrait of life in China and a groundbreaking story of coming of age in today’s era of globalization.

The Ultimate Performance Guide for the Elite Athlete

Any physical superiority an elite athlete may (or may not) be naturally gifted with MUST be accompanied with severe discipline and a mental toughness that cannot be fathomed by people who aren’t trained the same way. Your physical capabilities, no matter how great, will not keep you at the top, rather it’s your discipline and mental toughness that allows you to keep charging forth even when your own body appears to be working against you. How do you keep training when all your physical strength is drained?

And how do you maintain strict workout routines even after you know you’re without a doubt the very best at your field? That is what this book will reveal. It will teach you how to resist slacking off, and how to become the master of your own mind such that even your body will not rebel against what you have conceived in your mind. The essence of this book is to reveal how you can unravel your inner drive… the drive which makes champions even greater… the drive from which all elite athletes are made of.
