Dorota Skrzypek

Scott Frazelle

When Hannah?s boyfriend of five-and-a-half years breaks up with her on New Year?s Eve, Hannah is shocked, and stunned?before picking up a glass and throwing it at him.

Surrounded by a colorful cast of characters, Hannah treads the infamous waters of heartbreak and heartache. The inaugural volume of the Sex, Life, and Hannah book series is a colorful palette of stories about the aftermath of a major break-up. Everything from the pros and cons of rebound sex, to navigating manic mood swings over The Ex, and whether a leather harness and latex can help distract you enough to finally move on. A fun and fictional expose about a pivotal moment in life.

Sex, Life, and Hannah - Volume 1 - Winter Season

Hannah feels him stir. Holding an ice pack to her swollen face, and stuck in an elevator between the second and third floor of a hospital is not how she envisioned running into The Ex. She starts analyzing the situation: Is she still in love with him? Is he still in love with her? They start kissing, then petting, then heavy petting, until she can feel his growing hardness against the inside of her thigh... The Spring Season in this sexy series is a continuation of Hannah's fall from perfect twenty-something grace. Hannah's run-in with The Ex is more about icing her nose than melting her heart or giving him a second chance. She seems to be making all the wrong decisions about all the right men; rejecting the doctor who makes her vagina quiver for Mr. Smyth who turns out to be the tall, dark, sophisticated older man she thought he was...with just one problem. The unexpected twists in this humorous romance would drive any woman to the opposite side of nice girl, which is exactly what happens to Hannah. But a bad girl can have some fun along the way.

As featured on 60 Minutes, Dateline, Inside Edition, and 48 Hours, the shocking true story of banker Edmond Safra's death and the man wrongfully convicted and imprisoned for the crime. When billionaire banker Edmond Safra died in the ashes of Monaco’s La Belle Époque building on December 3, 1999, the event made international headlines—for many reasons. One, of course, was the sheer wealth of the Lebanese mogul and his formidable presence in the international banking world. But the more seductive reason for the worldwide attention was the strange and intriguing way Safra died—ensconced within the armored walls of his vigilantly secured residence in the “safest city in the world.” At 4:45 in the morning, a firestorm gutted Safra’s opulent Monte Carlo penthouse, trapping—and killing—Safra and one of his nurses, Vivian Torrente. When the fire was ruled arson, a fast finger was pointed at the only other nurse present: former Green Beret Ted Maher. The true, bizarre circumstances that led to Safra’s death and to the subsequent imprisonment of Ted Maher are contained within the pages of Framed in Monte Carlo: How I Was Wrongfully Convicted for a Billionaire’s Fiery Death. The story features a play-by-play of that deadly night, as well as Ted’s sham of a trial that put him behind bars for seven years and eight months. Brutal betrayals, harrowing kidnappings, prison breaks straight out of The Great Escape, and more pepper the pages of Framed in Monte Carlo. Ted was freed when the judge from his trial came forward with a stunning revelation. But his life was never the same. And since his return to American soil, he’s continued to unearth more and more disturbing details about his ordeal. Armed with fresh facts, a greater understanding of the players, and a wider lens of perspective, Ted now reveals all, including his never-before-released findings that seek to answer the lingering big question: Who did kill Edmond Safra? The powerful famous names legitimately put forth by the author will shock you.

Cele cinci limbaje ale scuzelor este un ghid esenţial pentru oricine doreşte să îşi îmbunătăţească relaţiile cu partenerul de viaţă, familia sau prietenii. O colecţie intimă de sfaturi, probleme şi soluţii pentru fiecare membru al familiei; o familie cu adevărat fericită. Prea puţine dintre cărţile apărute până acum ne învaţă care este atitudinea pe care trebuie să o avem atunci când greşim. Tuturor ni s-a întâmplat să avem reacţii exagerate faţă de părinţi, faţă copii sau faţă de partenerul de viaţă ori pur şi simplu să nu putem fi iertaţi sau să nu ştim, la rândul nostru, cum să iertăm. Aşa cum există un limbaj distinct prin care îţi exprimi iubirea, la fel există şi un limbaj aparte prin care îţi ceri iertare. Gary Chapman şi Jennifer Thomas, reputaţi experţi în relaţiile interumane, se adresează cititorilor care sunt hotărâţi să învingă frica de a-l ierta pe celălalt, fiindcă, în mod firesc, de fiecare dată ne punem întrebarea: „Oare va greşi din nou?“ Limbajele scuzelor implică asumarea răspunderii pentru faptele noastre. De multe ori, cei care greşesc nu au un suflet bolnav, ci o percepţie greşită. După ce vor urma paşii recomandaţi, cititorii vor depăşi dificultatea morală de a fi iertaţi sau de a-i ierta pe cei de lângă ei.

Die Kunst, wieder zueinander zu finden

Die fünf Sprachen des Verzeihens

Few people gave a second thought to Abercerig. The seemingly unremarkable village in the Welsh mining valley looked dreary; endless grey terraced cottages housing dull people with little or no desire to better themselves. But nothing could be further from the truth. A story of true love and family intrigue weaves itself around the lives of two sisters, Grace and Mari, and their families. A scandalous marriage, the suffering and deprivation of the war years, personal triumphs and communal grief contribute to the colourful tapestry that is Abercerig. The dedicated family doctor and the fair-minded police sergeant steer their flock through the ordeals of everyday life while the chapel ladies in their ‘Sunday Best” hats with their closely guarded recipes for apple pies, rule over the moral welfare of the villagers. Newcomers are scrutinised before finally being accepted into the watchful community and eyebrows are raised as class barriers are breached. But essentially, this is a story of Sian, a young girl who, from a very early age, sees far beyond the inflexible prejudices of the adults surrounding her and offers a solution that will put an end to many wasted years of misunderstanding.

Butterfly Tears

Art Masterpiece--"Black Iris" by Georgia OKeeffe

A Different Light is a first-person novel written from the pages of the authors diary during her years tour of duty in Da Nang, Vietnam from October 1967 to October 1968. Hired by the Red Cross, she worked on the III Marine Amphibious Force, headquarters for the First and Third Marine Divisions. There she delivered hundreds of death-and-disaster messages as well as being available 24/7 for emotional support during a war no one understood. Long hours at work and exposure to the Wars ugliness at its height proved to be costly on her stamina and compassion. She saw death, decay, beauty and newness, first love and hate, and marveled at the extremes all lived under. She witnessed survival tactics used by civilians, the military and even herself in a thankless, unappreciated, poorly run and ultimately, forsaken war. Everyone was confused by the Wars politics, lack of emotional support from home, the inability to get ahead and the ultimate sacrifices so many gave for what was thought as Freedom for the Oppressed. It was time to grow up. Jenny was born in Southern California in 1944. Life was normal for her and her two brothers but when her mother died when Jenny was three years old, life became bleak at the hands of the wicked stepmother of the West. Graduation from Hi School in 1962, college in 1966 with a Sociology degree, Jenny volunteered to work as a counselor and bookkeeper for the Red Cross. She spent six months in Southern California, a year in Vietnam, nine months in San Francisco, two years in Germany and finally back to work on a Naval Base in the Pacific Northwest. Here she found love for the beautiful ever-green countryside, the marine atmosphere of Puget Sound and a Navy man. Now married for thirty-eight years, she has three handsome sons, three beautiful daughters-in-law and three adorable grandchildren. Jenny loves her family, horses, fishing, boating, the mountains, and the saltwater. She remains active in her community by selling real estate as well as reading, working in her garden, and making new friends.
