Deleted Scene From Bound to You
As you may or may not recall, the story of Bound to You begins several months after the death of scientist Layl North. His best friend, Jacks Baine, has taken a new job with Ferrell Terraforming and his new partner is corporate liaison Lia Bernardi. Jacks and Lia find themselves trapped on a deserted planet, and discover that the inhabitants of V-097 never really left.
What we do NOT discover, however, is what happens to Mr. North. He appears as a ghost throughout the novel, assisting Jacks and Lia whenever he can. But...what happened to Layl when he finally "moved on?"
I've been toying with the idea for a book just for Layl, and it should come out next year once a few of my other obligations are completed. But I thought it might be fun to share this bit of Layl's story and give you a hint at what's coming down the line for him.
An Excerpt from Layl's Story:
The top of the mountain looked out over miles and miles of vast plains. Layl stood at the top and looked at the swirling pool of water at his feet. "What's this?"
"Imagine a tunnel that extends between this plane and the others. The right push in the right direction and we deposit you into your new life."
"If I'm not going to be reborn then what's going to happen?" The rushing water made no sound, and when Layl stared into the water he could see that it seemed to empty into a pit with no discernable bottom.
"Sometimes the soul departs the body prematurely, in such a way that another could take its place." The girl knelt to run her fingers into the flow. "That's where you'll go."
"I'll be me, though?"
"Oh, yes." She smiled at him, and she was beautiful in her kindness and the goodness that seemed to shine from her. "You will occupy a new body, but you'll remember everything."
He crouched beside her at the edge of the pool. "I didn't really do anything worth this." He waved at the pool and the second chance she was offering. "Surely there's someone else who's more worthy than me."
"The Illaran people disagree. Without you, Jacks and Lia would never have defeated Verhagnis and their souls would never have been released." She tapped his chest again, over his heart. "Checks and balances, Mr. North. Checks and balances."
Layl stared at the water. His throat was dry, his heart pounding in his ears.
"Are you ready?" his young companion asked. Her hand was soft on his shoulder. "Don't worry. All will be well."
He sucked in a deep breath. "Yeah. I'm ready."
She leaned forward to press a kiss to his cheek. "Farewell, Mr. North. Have a good life." And she pushed him into the water.
I hope you've enjoyed this peek into Layl's upcoming book. I look forward to writing Layl's story and to make sure he has the happily ever after that he deserves.

Good Advice on Writing Week 4: The Discipline of the Writer
Set aside time each day, or select days each week, and write. Don't wait until you're inspired, because if you do, you'll never finish anything.
-Christopher A. Bohialian
I've discovered a lot about myself as a person since I've begun my journey as a published writer. For many years after I got my first "real" job and started my family, I didn't make time for writing. I was doing what I loved (working in healthcare) and raising my daughters. One day I sat down at the computer and decided I was going to try "that writing thing" again. I wrote three novels that, admittedly, weren't very good structurally, in a very short time. Still, I never planned to try to publish my work.
I decided to begin posting a bit of a story on Facebook, and my mother was adamant that I finish it. I sat down and wrote out the novel of fallen angels, a mythical KEY, and forbidden love. It turned out my story wasn't all that bad! I decided to look into publishing my work with a small press to get my foot in the door of the publishing world. After a few months of submitting my work...I got a publishing offer! The rest is history. I've since published ten novels and numerous short stories and novellas, and I feel that with each new work my sense of voice, craft and style got stronger.
The thing that hasn't improved is my discipline. I've never been what you might call a "plotter", and I dislike trying to outline my stories before I sit down to write them. From time to time, the issue is that I just won't sit down to write! There's always tv to watch, laundry to wash, meals to cook and a myriad of other reasons that are all really just excuses to stop me from writing! Why would I do that to myself? Writing, like any job without strict supervision, requires willpower and dedication. It also requires a strict discipline. As suggested above, I've tried to combat this lack of will with a schedule. At the beginning of the week I know which days I have my afternoons and nights available for writing, and I make sure that I don't allow myself to make excuses NOT to write. This has been a very difficult thing to learn how to do, and it is harder than sticking to a diet or avoiding the mall when I'm low on cash!
The best advice I can give is exactly the same advice that Mr. Bohialian gives. Make a schedule and stick to it. Know when you can write in your ideal environment without distractions, and take away everything that can possibly distract you. Lock doors, unplug the television and turn off your phone. Don't let YOU get in the way of you. A writer's best product is his writing, and you can't be a published author without a book to sell!
Thanks for joining me on Amy Reads & Writes, and I hope to have you all stop by my upcoming YouTube channel debut. I will be reading passages from my favorite books and discussing how they made me feel, what I think they mean and my take on the book. I look forward to discussing my favorite books with everyone!
Happy Reading!

Cyborg Sunday: The Women of Aeon Project
The Women of Aeon Project
Oh! Hello again! I see my cyborgs have kidnapped..er..coerced...er invited you back to visit with me today and I'm so happy to see you. We've talked about the men of the Aeon Project series in our last few visits and today's talk is about the women of the series.
Aeon Project began with the Apparatic Monks. Their deep appreciation for life gave them the idea that their mission was to protect, prolong and improve life across the universe. Using cybernetics, they took the first few volunteers for their project from among the zealous followers with similar appreciation for the sanctity of life.
Jump ahead in the project to the point where the Terran government learned of the success the monks were having, and decided that they needed to have Aeon Project for themselves. When the government took over the project by force, the men and women involved in the project were repurposed as the new wave of super-soldier for the Terran's frequent wars.
The women of Aeon Project come into the story at the point when our project members have escaped their Command Programming and are trying to find their place in the galaxy again while remaining out of the hands of the Terran government. In short, our heroines are going to bring the light back into their lives and their hearts.
Sharyn: An Enduring Sun
Sharyn is a Ranger, an elite operative of the ERCAn Ag Corporation. In their constant war with the Rissid Corp, Sharyn has seen far too many children left orphaned, broken and alone. She runs an orphanage for the children of ERCA and swears to protect them from any further harm.
When Sharyn is sent on a mission, she meets the enigmatic man named Ren. Despite his secretive nature, Sharyn is attracted to the handsome stranger. Through harrowing danger and desperate times, Ren and Sharyn find something together that neither one of them expected.
Yurie: Dark Star
Yurie Kilowie was taken from the squalor of her tenement as a child and raised by the Apparatic Monks. Educated and sheltered, she had no idea that the monks were preparing her for a particular experiment; copulate and have children with one of the cyborgs of the Aeon Project. Despite being used as nothing more than a brood mare, Yurie came to care for her chosen mate and they even found a bit of happiness together as they became the parents of four sons.
The Terran government took over Aeon, and demanded that she use her knowledge of programming to create and implement Command Programming to control the cyborgs created by the monks. With no other choice, Yurie did as they asked and doomed both her mate and her sons to the loss of their free will. When they took her mate and sons away, Yurie was imprisoned inside cryostasis and believed dead by her family.
Yurie returns to the story when Primary One, her mate, learns that she is still alive. Together they explore their past, their future and all the possibilities that lie ahead.
Gus: Decaying Orbit
Augustin Mureou worships cybernetics. The people of her sector, the Alluree, believe that body modification is the next step to evolution and one step closer to perfection. Augmented herself, Gus is one of the galaxy's leading scientific minds in regards to cybernetics. When her old friend Sharyn contacts her, desperate to save her friend, Gus agrees to help her without a second thought. Strange, that a man might swallow a bomb, but she was likely the only person with the know-how to remove it without killing him. Unfortunately, Sharyn and her friend show up to Gus' lab at the Debilliton University just as the planet goes into the throes of civil war. Trapped in her lab with the dying man, Gus must use all her wits and skill to save his life. Did she mention he's the sexiest man she's ever seen and he makes her body tingle like no amount of cybernetics ever could?
Samaira: Resonance
We first meet Samaira at the end of Decaying Orbit when she and Sevyn have a bit of a run-in while Sevyn and his brothers are attempting to escape the planet. A freedom fighter and devout worshiper of the Pythar God, Risik, Samaira believes herself to be on a mission of the utmost importance. Nothing has ever swayed her from her path until she locks eyes with the stunning man with hair the color of moonlight. She has no idea who he is, or why he haunts her dreams every night after, but she knows that if she ever sees him again she will have no choice but to kill him as Risik demands.
Dechtire: Escape Velocity
Dechtire (deck-tier-ah) is the voice in the night for our hero, Q. When they talk over their lost radio frequencies it seems like nothing else matters in the universe. Unfortunately for Dechtire, her life is far from easy. Banished to a desert outpost with her father, far from other civilizations, she is lonely, angry and sad. Her face terribly scarred from an accident, Dechtire aches for normalcy she knows she will never have. And the one person who seems to like her, the one person she has shared her inner thoughts with, would kill her in an instant if he found out who she really is. Because Dechtire's father isn't just another soldier. He's a General. And he was once in charge of Aeon Project. For Q and all his brothers, she and her father can never be more than the enemy.
I truly hope you've enjoyed this look at the women of Aeon Project and a bit of a peek at what is coming down the line for our heroes. An Enduring Sun is available now, and Dark Star is with the editor! I'm hard at work on Decaying Orbit and Gus is an amazing character to write! I look forward to having all 5 of the Aeon Project books available to you by Summer 2018. As always, thanks for stopping by for Cyborg Sunday. Please don't forget to comment, email or pop by Facebook if you want to chat.
Conversion for all or life for none.
PS: I am currently working on a new VLOG that will work in conjunction with this blog. I plan to read passages from my favorite books and talk to the audience about why I like it, what it means to me and so forth. Please stay tuned for videos from Amy Reads & Writes and don't hesitate to let me know how you like them, and where you think I should go next! ~AR

Sneak Peek: Stone Guardian (Witches Amulet Book One) by Paulina Woods
A Sneak Peek into Stone Guardian
Milcah was born to rule. Stolen soon after birth, her magic was locked and she was forced to live a normal life, with no knowledge of her heritage.
Raised by a detached parent, she learned to depend on herself and her best friend, Mary, for support. While on a road trip across country she's forced to find shelter in an abandoned town called Beacon.
She finds her destiny and learns about her past which will lead to the salvation or damnation of the world, and a mate who can give her everything her heart desires.
Raised by a detached parent, she learned to depend on herself and her best friend, Mary, for support. While on a road trip across country she's forced to find shelter in an abandoned town called Beacon.
She finds her destiny and learns about her past which will lead to the salvation or damnation of the world, and a mate who can give her everything her heart desires.
"I see you have finally opened your eyes," a deep voice stated, making her jump and turn toward the sound. As soon as she turned the pain in her head throbbed and her stomach rebelled, and she started dry heaving. Not wanting to mess up the very expensive bed and feeling really embarrassed, Milcah twisted and tried to scoot closer to the side of the bed. A strong arm circled her waist and helped her maneuver until she was leaning over a wastebasket. When her stomach finally settled, all she could think of was what a mess she must look. Her hair was flat in the back from where she had laid on it, her eyes had to be puffy, and her mouth tasted like shit and had to smell like it too. But there was no use hiding, so she looked up and almost screamed.
The man—no, the creature—standing over her was huge. He was bending down so his face was close to hers and she could see every detail. Long, black hair had been pulled back into a ponytail to reveal long, pointed ears and two large horns right above his temples. His skin was a bluish gray and looked like leather. A movement behind him caught Milcah's eyes and she noticed his beautiful, almost transparent wings. Swallowing hard, she forced herself to meet his gaze. Striking gold with brown shooting from the center, his eyes were beautiful.
"I guess I wasn't dreaming earlier?" Milcah croaked before clearing her throat.
The smile on his lips looked more like a grimace. "No. We were not properly introduced. I am Jarod, General of the gargoyle King Machisadis's armies and elite Guardian. How are you feeling?"
"I'm feeling much better now that my stomach isn't trying to climb out my throat." Giving a little laugh, Milcah tried to sit up again but her head swam. "I'm Milcah, by the way. Why do I feel as if I have been run over by a truck?"
At first Jarod looked confused. "That is my fault, I believe. I didn't have time to prepare you for travel through the portal. Many of my warriors needed to be taken to the healers immediately. I am forever grateful to you for helping us get home."
"What portal? Where am I?" Feeling hysteria rising, she closed her eyes and concentrated on breathing.
"You are in the realm of the Guardians. A parallel plane to your world, which can only be reached by means of travel through interdimensional portals." Jarod stood up and paced a few steps away.
Now Milcah could see all of him and he was impressive. His back muscles bunched as he paced and his wings, tucked close to his body, seemed to twitch. His strong thighs and calves ended on clawed feet. He was beautiful, that was the only way she knew to describe him. Rubbing her temples, Milcah thought of Neon and Mary, the only two beings left in the world who cared about her. "How do I get home? I have to take care of my dog and I'm sure my best friend is looking for me. I was supposed to call her when I reached my destination."
"You need more rest. You have been unresponsive for three days." Jarod turned back toward the bed.
"Three days?" Milcah sat up quickly and immediately regretted it as the cover slipped and she noticed she wasn't wearing anything. She grabbed the covers and glanced up in time to catch his eyes fixed on her breast. "Jarod, where's my clothes? Jarod!" Jarod jerked his head away and blinked his eyes, as if he was coming out of a trance.
About Paulina:
Some people write because they love it, others because it pays the bills but for Paulina it's a compulsion. Even before she published her first book she carried around notebooks to write in and could be found lost in thought as she scribbled away. From funny to dark, her thoughts flowed from her fingertips like water from an undying well. When she finally decided to publish it felt natural. This was what all her writing had been about over the years.
Her world may be a little dark and scary. Sometimes it may seem like she has fallen deep into a pool of despair but each character, each moment has been predestined from the beginning of time.

Sneak Peek: Maiden of Fire by Ishabelle Torry
Maiden of Fire by Ishabelle Torry
I've featured Maiden on my blog before, but this is a special sneak peek into the novel, available now from author Ishabelle Torry! If you love historical SF/F with dystopian themes, this books is for you.
Jalomar's temper rose as he reclined himself back on the chair's two back legs and waited for Ramona to appear. He'd summoned her to the library hours ago to discuss the events leading to her entrapment. Based on reports from his men and his own personal observations from afar as she settled in, he no longer believed her to be the Fiery Maiden. The legendary being was recorded to be a warrior, something her mannerism fell far short of. Aside from an obnoxious laugh and a foul mouth, she displayed nothing other than ordinary female qualities.
A timid knock, immediately followed by the tardy Ramona, startled Jalomar and caused him to lose balance. The chair fell backwards with a loud thump; a last minute leap saved him from tumbling with it. "It's about time, milady," he growled.
"I came as soon as I was able to," she responded sweetly.
He noticed her servant's attire, minus the white apron, but chose to ignore it. "I am certain you did."
She crossed her arms. "What's up? Your gofer said it was important."
"By gofer, I assume you're referring to Kald. But aye, it's a matter of importance."
"Yeah, then shoot ."
"Shoot what?"
She pursed her lips. "Say what you need to say, Jalo. Meg and I have plans."
Jalo? Did the woman purposely disrespect his title? He'd let the indiscretion pass. This time. She'd learn soon enough the customs of his kingdom. He returned his focus back to the task—dispelling the Fiery Maiden myth. "What were you and the others doing beneath so much rubble?"
Emerald eyes mocked him. "Taking a vacation. What the hell do you think we were doing? We were taking cover for our lives."
"What were you running from? Whom were you escaping?"
"Umm, the same as everyone else…an asteroid named Abaddon. Why the redundancy, Jalomar?"
"Lord Jalomar, or milord," he scolded this time around. He rounded the desk and snatched up an open text book. So much for an easy solution. She was obviously well learned and knew her history. "What kind of warrior are you?"
"Warrior? More like a student."
He looked her up and down. Those puny arms could never hold a sword. A scholar fit perfect. "Who is your teacher?"
"I've had several. What's with the third degree?"
"Third degree? Are you a potter as well?"
She tapped her feet. "No. My turn for twenty questions. Why are refusing to acknowledge the bombardment?"
"Why are you pretending to be the Fiery Maiden?"
"Who?" She threw her arms into the air. "Is that what all this maiden calling is about?"
"Aye, and you know it is. The legend of the maiden is common knowledge, and that unnatural color of hair you possess makes it easy to accomplish."
"You're insane. I'm outta here." She turned to leave.
He closed the gap with three long strides and snatched her back by the upper arm. "I have not dismissed you, milady."
She whirled around, fury contorting her lips. "Dismissed me? Are you fucking serious? Dude, I know we're currently living in a castle due to the end of the world thing, but seriously? Dismiss me? The Dark Ages have passed, and I highly doubt they're coming back." She jerked her arm free. "And this whole I am the master of blah blah blah isn't working either."
Her rant fell on deaf ears. Jalomar couldn't help but stare at her bright red locks—her link to the prophesy. Beautiful. Vibrant. Tempting. Unnatural.
Majikal…just like the lights surrounding her arrival. He let out a deep growl. How could he not have seen it before? Damn her. He'd let her comely face distract him from seeing the truth of her real identity. He clenched his fists and inhaled deeply.
"Labelle sent you. You're Labelle's spy!"
"Who's Labelle?"
"Don't continue to lie to me, woman," he snarled. "You are Labelle's spy. Did you think a little dark majik to change your hair color would fool everyone for long?"
"My hair makes me a spy? You're nuts. It's hair dye. Women use it all the time to alter their natural color."
He snorted. Nonsense. Who would purposefully discolor their hair for no reason? "Labelle sent you. Admit it, and I may be inclined to show leniency."
"Fuck you."
Jalomar raised his hand as if to strike her, but instead grabbed the loose hair at the nape of her neck and pulled her fully into him. She tried to collapse, but he held her firmly, ignoring the look of fear in her beguiling emerald orbs. Every part of him wanted to punish her for her deceit, but the idea of causing her pain turned his stomach into knots. His mouth rested a hairsbreadth from hers, he couldn't resist brushing his lips against hers. "I will not hit a woman, spy or not. But be warned, milady. There are many among my men who will. I advise you to choose your words carefully while in the dungeons. Some may even take your choice phrases as an offer."
"You wouldn't? Let me go!" She lifted her leg in an attempt to clip his genitals, but he prevented the blow by catching her foot between his thighs. After several more attempts, she gave up and stood motionless against him.
"I'll let you go if you promise to remain calm."
She said nothing. He hoped for a denial, proof of innocence. He'd much rather lock the comely wench in his bedchamber than a dark and damp prison. The feel of her curves pressed against his body excited all of his senses. She remained close-lipped, breathing heavily in her guilt.
Jalomar released her, unable to concentrate with her so close. He returned to the desk, and snatched up the book containing the Fiery Maiden's legend. He flipped through the pages without really looking. Since ascending the throne, he'd never had to imprison a woman. But what was he to do with her? She couldn't be freed with the knowledge she'd gained of his defenses. By the Vespa. His only option was taking her into custody. He continued to peruse the pages in an effort to find another solution. He froze several pages over. "This cannot be," he whispered. "Nay…it's all wrong."
"What can't be?" she demanded from across the room. "What's going on in this place? And for the love of God, what and where is this place? Goddammit! Answer me!"
He placed the book on the desk and motioned her closer. Humility silenced his anger. His fingers pointed to the passage he'd just read. "Read this here."
Ramona crept to the desk; untrusting eyes watched him. She shook her head in denial as she read the text. "That's absurd! You're stupid to think I'll believe this!" She fell to her knees. "It's stupid…absurd…a joke, right?"
Jalomar stiffened. If only it were a jest.
He patiently waited for her to turn the page.
About Ishabelle:
When Ishabelle Torry stole Warrior's Lady by Madeline Baker from her mother's glass "no-no" cabinet at the age of fourteen, she had no idea it would be the start of a love affair with romance that would last a lifetime… so far! She loved the escapism from the real world, the strong and relatable characters and the powerful concept of love conquering all. Even having her scorching books confiscated at school couldn't cool her passion for them and she swore that one day she would also write the kinds of stories that kept people turning the pages no matter where they were!

From the List: Gyms & Health Clubs
Dave Leon hasn't finished building his 15th Planet Fitness health club and he already is planning to open his first gym overseas.
Leon's Troy fitness center will be his 10th in the Capital Region and 15th in New York state. Another six or seven clubs are planned for western New York, he said.
"The average store profits between $30,000 and $50,000 a month, which is why we can grow so fast," Leon said. The Loudonville club alone brings in $1.3 million in profits a year on $2.2 million in annual revenue.
The 50-year-old former bodybuilder and power lifter also is investing $1.8 million to build the first corporate headquarters for his PF Management Group, which oversees his franchises. That 10,000-square-foot building will be located near Rotterdam Square Mall and will employ 295. Until now, the business had operated out of his house.
The region's growing gym and health club sector is highly competitive. It has been growing fast over the past five years. The total number of club memberships across the region have grown from 163,000 to nearly 232,000 since 2008.
IBISWorld, a Los Angeles research firm, estimates that the fitness industry in the United States will grow 2.3 percent this year, despite low disposable income. Nationally, revenue from fitness clubs, personal trainers and fitness products will reach $45.2 billion this year.
Leon said the return on investment is good. It costs $1.5 million to build an average fitness center, and his average club generates $546,000 a year in profit.
His area development agreement with Planet Fitness will allow him to open one more local fitness center. He's looking at Latham or Malta, where GlobalFoundries is building a $4.6 billion computer chip manufacturing plant that will employ 1,400 by the end of the year.
Looking further down the road, Leon has even bigger plans.
"My goal is to go international," he said. "I want to go to Panama. It's American-friendly, it's an American banking system and they speak English."
He is looking to build in Panama in 2014 where the average membership fee is $90 a month. Leon plans to charge the equivalent of $10 in Panama.
When he opened his first Planet Fitness eight years ago, there were just nine Planet Fitness clubs in the country. Today, there are 572.
He was the third Planet Fitness franchisee in the country—and the first in New York. Now he is the chairman of the Newington, New Hampshire-based chain's franchiser advisory board.
Six years ago, Leon had fewer than 5,000 members at his clubs. Today he has more than 80,000.
Sign-up costs are a driving factor in being able to survive and grow in the industry, Leon said.
That's a lesson he learned after opening his first club in 1990, Body Dynamics Health Club in Schenectady. He charged the going rate at the time, $40 a month.
That business closed in 1993 and he opened Powerhouse Gym in Rotterdam, which closed in 2000. Then, Leon opened two more clubs, Leon Center in Schenectady and New York Fitness in Loudonville in 2002.
By 2004, his fortunes and business model changed when a small chain announced plans to open near his Schenectady club and charge half his price.
Leon converted both his club clubs to Planet Fitness, charged $10 a month, and saw his membership skyrocket.
"It was shock-and-awe," he said.

God Johnson
"God Johnson is from the polar north country of Minnesota where the winters are long and the coats are thick. It's a volatile climate where a band of men came together in 2003 to write four albums worth of great original midwest music. God Johnson music brings out the common deity that dwells in all of us and the eternal conflict between our righteous and sinful nature, or you could also just say it's a great band that rages tunes hard for kidz to get down in full boogie.
The band is known for its live "rawkshows", dynamic jamming and creative and inspiring songwriting by keyboardist Tim Carrow. God Johnson also was known as the house band at the Cabooze nightclub in Minneapolis for over four years".

What a coincidence, J…I just reviewed "Nathaniel's Nutmeg" myself today!
That's a great book that you recommend right there. Even though the topics are not so much about Indonesian history than the consequences of nutmeg trade (and the explorations it caused) per se…
Have you finished reading it too?

Waiting for Karma is fine—for the patient. But for the rest of us, it sure would be nice to give Karma a little nudge every once in a while.
Was it one too many dates that turned out to be losers or liars? Have a problem with two-faced backstabbers? And don't even start with the so-called customer service centers. There comes a day when enough is really, truthfully, enough already. For Kelly and Esmeralda, two snarky single witches, that day was yesterday. After applying their witchcraft to dish out a little magical payback, they realize they have a penchant for the dark art of revenge. And who's to say a witch can't make a few bucks with a talent like that?
Doing the odd job was fun and gratifying. Then along came an unusual client with a pitch for an idea, "Karma Inc.-Reality TV." The witches set up shop in the sleepy little town of Caldron Falls, Wisconsin. By enabling the good citizens to settle old scores, they hoped to transform the town into a virtual coliseum of televised revenge. It didn't take long before a few inconvenient and unexpected dead bodies began to pile up. To complicate matters, Caldron Falls just happens to have more than its fair share of paranormal creatures, not to mention a Chicago mobster seemingly bent on taking over the town.
Can Esmeralda and Kelly solve the rash of unexplained deaths before they get the blame and end up behind bars? What will Marie Laveau and the Witches Union have to say about this? And as any fool knows, Karma carries a round-trip ticket.
Kitt has been sent to Earth for one purpose, to fill one woman with as much pleasure as she can bear - a mission he would enjoy very much if Honey would stop second-guessing herself and accept his touch. But Kitt will be lucky if Honey can keep herself out of harm's way long enough to give in to the hunger he sees in her eyes.
When an ex-flame threatens to extinguish the woman he loves, Kitt will have to decide between celestial peace and his urgent need to protect Honey.

Coping with a brain injury can be very challenging. Often, you will face a long road to recovery that includes ongoing medical treatment and extensive rehabilitation. In the event of a severe brain injury, you may have to relearn how to do many basic tasks that were once routine, and it's possible that you may experience permanent disabilities which impact your ability to earn a living and enjoy the quality of life to which you were once accustomed.
The financial, physical, and emotional burdens of a brain injury can be crippling for you and your family, and it's crucial that you have an experienced attorney on your side to help you through this difficult time. If your brain injury was caused by the negligent actions of another, Wilson Law, P.A. will fight aggressively for the compensation you deserve.
The best way to learn about your rights and options after suffering a brain injury is to speak with Kimberly Wilson White in person. Please call 919-890-0180 today to schedule your free consultation at our Raleigh personal injury office.
Common Causes of Brain Injuries
A jarring blow to the head will often result in a brain injury. There are many different types of accidents that can cause these catastrophic injuries, including:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Slip and fall accidents
- Construction accidents
- Sports accidents
If your injury was caused by the negligence of another, you may be able to recover compensation through a personal injury lawsuit.
Brain Injury Symptoms
Brain injuries can be very mild in nature, such as a concussion that takes only a few days for a full recovery. They can also be severe enough to impact you for the rest of your life. Similarly, the symptoms experienced after a brain injury are varied.
The exact symptoms you develop will depend on the severity and location of your brain injury. These may include:
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Slurred speech
- Disorientation
- Loss of consciousness
- Balance issues
- Mood swings
- Depression
- Nausea and vomiting
- Sensitivity to light or sound
- Ringing in the ears
- Bad taste in the mouth
- Difficulty concentrating
- Memory loss
- Agitation
- Sleeping more than normal
- Difficulty sleeping
- Fatigue
- Convulsions or seizures
In some cases, it may take days or weeks for these symptoms to manifest. Therefore, it's crucial that you get evaluated by a doctor immediately following a blow to the head. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment can mitigate the damage caused by your injury and significantly improve your chances of a full recovery.
Experienced Raleigh Brain Injury Lawyers
If you've suffered a brain injury, Wilson Law, P.A. can help. Our lawyers have witnessed firsthand the devastation caused by these catastrophic injuries, and we'll fight aggressively to hold all negligent parties accountable for your damages.

I have a few new opportunities for 2014 and I can't decide whether to go with my gut and jump head first into the water and take these opportunities by the horns and just do it, or if maybe I'm just not ready yet. I feel ready. I feel like I could do this and I could do it big.
But what if I fail?
I have had enough disappointment in 2013 for another let down. I don't want to be the one to regret not taking a chance. I don't want to shy away from this and then think "Well what if?"
I've modeled for years now. Some think I have potential for the magazines, for the big time, for the novel covers.. etc. DO I have it in MYSELF to do this?
A friend just told me of his first leap of faith…. Sorry to use your words Mark but I hope you don't mind…
And maybe people would hate it and I wouldn't be worthy. but I took the leap

PORTLAND, Maine — Construction delays on a Portland, Maine, housing project have cost residents over $170,000.
The Portland Press Herald reports (http://bit.ly/2soi1Pl ) taxpayers have paid interest on a Department of Housing and Urban Development loan taken out by the Federated Cos. for a project that includes housing units and a parking garage. Federated purchased the land from the city for $2.3 million in June.
The firm hasn't started construction even though site plans were approved in 2015.
Federated changed plans in favor of taller buildings even after a lawsuit against the high-rises was filed by residents. The firm has also marketed a portion of the project to other developers and switched construction plans.
Portland's economic development director Greg Mitchell says he is hopeful construction will start this year.

Transient Electronics that Dissolve in Water Usher in Next Generation of Devices, from Green Technologies to Medical Implants
Electronic devices that dissolve completely in water, leaving behind only harmless end products, are part of a rapidly emerging class of technology pioneered by researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Early results demonstrate the entire complement of building blocks for integrated circuits, along with various sensors and actuators with relevance to clinical medicine, including most recently intracranial monitors for patients with traumatic brain injury.
The advances suggest a new era of devices that range from green consumer electronics to 'electroceutical' therapies, to biomedical sensor systems that do their work and then disappear.
John A. Rogers' research group at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering Frederick Seitz Materials Research Laboratory is leading the development of such concepts, along with all of the required materials, device designs and fabrication techniques for applications that lie beyond the scope of semiconductor technologies that are available today.
"Our most recent combined developments in devices that address real challenges in clinical medicine and in advanced, high volume manufacturing strategies suggest a promising future for this new class of technology," said Rogers. He will present these and other results at the AVS 61st International Symposium & Exhibition, being held November 9-14, 2014 in Baltimore, Md.
Practical applications might include: bioresorbable devices that reduce infection at a surgical site. Other examples are temporary implantable systems, such as electrical brain monitors to aid rehabilitation from traumatic injuries or electrical simulators to accelerate bone growth. Additional classes of devices can even be used for programmed drug delivery, Rogers said.
Such envisioned uses are all best satisfied by devices that provide robust, reliable, high performance operation, but only for a finite period of time dictated, for example, by the healing process—they are not only biologically compatible, but they are biologically punctual, performing when and as the body needs them.
After their function has been fulfilled, they disappear through resorption into the body, thereby eliminating unnecessary device load, without the need for additional surgical operations. In terms of consumer electronics, the technology holds promise for reducing the environmental footprint of the next generation of "green" devices.

Yesterday at Baird Nuckolls home, I was surrounded by talented, giving friends and writers, who shared their good will and best wishes with me. Baird throws a party as she does everything else in her life, like a master, being a true Renaissance Woman. It was a perfect soirée. The weather was glorious, the wine and cheese first-rate. Some people brought gifts and flowers, totally unexpected, but I accepted their offerings with gratitude and humility, because the greatest gift they gave was of themselves. The Bay Area is a big place and some friends traveled as far as from Oakland, Sausalito, and Half Moon Bay to be with me on this day. Friends like this are a blessing, whether near or far. I will never, never forget Sunday, August 21st. It was a milestone for me in so many ways. Thank you all so very much.

Another great Atomic Festival this year, despite the bloody British weather!
Having attended Atomic Festival last year, a highlight in my vintage calendar despite the cold weather, I have to say that this year's sporadic morning downpours still didn't curb my enthusiasm for this event. I truly love Atomic Festival, which sets itself apart from other events with its distinctly rockabilly appeal.
This year I enjoyed far more bands and entertainment options than ever. Although I must admit I felt pretty unfortunate when I realised I'd missed the swimwear catwalk but I guess I had to leave something new for next year. 😉
Highlights for me included being a passenger in a gorgeous, classic American car. Not only are they surprisingly speedy, but we had a very excitable couple who took us out. It was the first time they'd brought the car to Atomic and they gave us a second loop of the runway, as well as treating us to a race with another car. I know it sounds silly, but it really was awesome! Last year I hadn't managed to fit a car ride into my visit so I was pleased to have managed it this year. It really is worth the queue, which actually disappears incredibly quickly.
Another great aspect to Atomic Festival is the UK Rock'n'Roll Jive Championships that they host. Last year my boyfriend and I had watched the heats from the back of the hangar in total awe. This year, we knew how popular they would be so arrived early to bag good seats. Having taken jive lessons this year I could really appreciate the skill and stylised jives on the dance floor. It was excellent being able to point out some moves that we had learnt and woop at the occasional aerial that was featured. Something to aim for next year? Pahh!
I also enjoyed the music even more than last year. Although I would say that perhaps the big top's sound was a little bit echoey, I loved jiving away and singing along to all the bands I saw. The Revolutionaries had one of the biggest crowd draws early on in the day; however it was Coral Lee who came all the way from Australia, The Sureshots and The Jive Romeros who I really loved!
There was plenty of shopping to be done, with a good mix of reproduction and genuine vintage. I was well behaved and only came away with a couple of Luxulite and Splendette goodies. My boyfriend on the other hand bought a Clumsy Kate mexican cactus shirt, which I've had my eye on for a while, cheeky bugger!
With the bumper cars, roller skates, drag races and dance lessons there is plenty to keep anyone entertained at Atomic Festival. I only visited on the Saturday but the campervan field was full. One day I might risk camping in a tent for the weekend but hopefully I can squeeze into the hotel next year!
Before I go, I have one last recommendation, which you may be able to guess from my previous photo. When you are getting cold and tired in the evening, go and hit up the donuts stand! Not only are the workers in the air stream lovely, but the donuts are fresh and therefore warm. Literally the best sugar pick me up to keep you dancing into the morning.
See you next year Atomic Festival.

A few days ago Jason Kottke posted his media diet - a list of books and movies he's read and watched recenty. I found some interesting things on his list, which I made a note of.

In the spirit of Kottke's media diet list, here are some books that I've read recently and recommend.
People Who Eat Darkness: The True Story of a Young Woman Who Vanished from the Streets of Tokyo -- and the Evil That Swallowed Her Up, by Richard Lloyd Parry. A true crime novel about the disappearence of a young British woman who worked as a hostess in Toyko's Roppongi nightclub district. Her body was found several months later. The most interesting part was the glimpse into Tokyo's criminal justice system, which is very different from the United States'. In Japan, getting a suspect to confess is an essential part of the process, and their legal system almost breaks down when a suspect refuses to confess.
11/22/63: A Novel, by Stephen King. This was my first Stephen King novel, and many people say it's his best work. It's about guy who finds a secret portal to 1958. He enters it through the back of a diner, and no matter how long he is in that past, when he re-enters the present, only a few minutes have elapsed. Read the rest

Burgess's fascination with slang extended well past Nadsat, the synthetic Russo-English dialect he invented for A Clockwork Orange; his autobiography mentions in passing that he'd begun work on a dictionary of slang but gave it up: "I've done A and B and find that a good deal of A and B is out of date or has to be added to, and I could envisage the future as being totally tied up with such a dictionary."

Atlas Obscura discloses a secret library, The Conjuring Arts Research Center, established to preserve the secrets of magic!
Read the rest
The not-for-profit organization was established in 2003, "dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of magic and its allied arts." It was started by William Kalush, who developed a love of magic from the card tricks shown to him by his father, a Marine wounded in World War II. This love of card magic turned to a love of collecting magic books, which now form a wondrous collection of over 15,000 books—some dating to over 600 years old—housed in this hidden location.
"I like early books that no one else has ever seen", Kalush says, sitting in a high-backed, ornately carved wooden chair that wouldn't look out of place with a wizard sitting on it. "Books of performances pieces, card secrets, many that are unique."
Browsing through the shelves stacked with all things conjuring, you will find obscure books on sleight-of-hand techniques, mentalism, deceptive gambling, the history of magic, and the mysterious secrets of card tricks. One book is the seminal The Expert At the Card Table, which appeared in 1902, written by an S. W. Erdnase. It's one of the most detailed collections of sleight-of-hand techniques and card sharping, a book so iconic and well-studied within magic circles it is known as "the Bible." Appropriately enough, S. W. Erdnase was a pseudonym. The real identity of the writer has remained a century-old mystery.
