Book Description
From lauded writer David Valdes, a sharp and funny YA novel that's Back to the Future with a twist, as a gay teen travels back to his parents' era to save a closeted classmate's life. All Luis Gonzalez wants is to go to prom with his boyfriend, something his “progressive” high school still doesn't allow. Not after what happened with Chaz Wilson. But that was ages ago, when Luis's parents were in high school; it would never happen today, right? He's determined to find a way to give his LGBTQ friends the respect they deserve (while also not risking his chance to be prom king, just saying...). When a hit on the head knocks him back in time to 1985 and he meets the doomed young Chaz himself, Luis concocts a new plan-he's going to give this guy his first real kiss. Though it turns out a conservative school in the '80s isn't the safest place to be a gay kid. Especially with homophobes running the campus, including Gordo (aka Luis's estranged father). Luis is in over his head, trying not to make things worse-and hoping he makes it back to present day at all. In a story that's fresh, intersectional, and wickedly funny, David Valdes introduces a big-mouthed, big-hearted, queer character that readers won't soon forget.

A detailed system that will help you achieve your professional and personal goals Moving the Needle provides both the "kick in the pants" and the game plan many of us need to break out of the rut and get moving to achieve our goals. CEOs, vice presidents, professionals, military personnel, and even college students frequently express frustration at the entrenched status quo, in which initiating progress feels like moving mountains. This book lights a path toward continual improvement, helping readers first find a direction, then make the key transitions that jumpstart forward progress. This highly practical guide outlines a change process that can be applied to professional or personal goals, giving readers a concrete plan for making big things happen. Rather than blindly shooting for the moon, readers will formulate a solid, systematic, actionable plan that can only result in progress. In today's tenuous business climate, employers and employees alike can be glued to the ground, unsure of the path they should take, or whether they have the freedom to move forward. Moving the Needle helps readers clarify their current position, identify their optimum position, and formulate a workable strategy for getting from here to there. Find what "moving forward" means for your career and life Shake off the doldrums of routine and establish a culture of innovation Improve performance on a consistent basis, at every level Break the inertia and get moving in the right direction Stagnation is diametrically opposed to progress. Moving forward requires a vision, a plan, and the impetus to get things done. Those who sense that big things can happen need to get clear, get free, and start Moving the Needle.

New suspects. And a fandom that will stop at nothing in their obsessive quest for answers, not even murder...

Book Description
The book begins in a carnival-type setting, with an exaggerated, cartoonish carnival barker selling tickets to The Big Roulette Wheel of Internet Dating. There was also a sad little clown, selling tickets to the "Second Chance Wheel," in case the first match didn't work out. There were photographers, as well as showgirls to make you as presentable as possible for the pictures. These pictures were sent out over the "Matchwell" dating site. The book then talks about different men I have met over the Internet and dated. I then met the "Hypnotist," and fell madly in love with him. In a very short time, he moved in with me, and very soon after that, we flew to Las Vegas and were married. This man was a psychopath, and a pathological liar. He is the type of man women should recognize when the "red flags" jump up in their faces. They should then run away from him as fast as possible. I didn't. I think I knew what he was, but I was so desperate for someone to love, and who loved me, that I pushed those thoughts to the back of my mind. The book then delves into both of our childhoods, possible reasons I was attracted to him, and begins to identify him for what he was. He lied about so many things. He lied about his Army career, and I write several chapters on the things that he TOLD me had happened. He supposedly learned hypnosis in a very classified dept. of the Army, training "super" soldiers who would have no fear in battle. He lied about his first wife, and he made up children he never had, and told stories about how they were killed. He said he was a member of the NSA, and that he had a doctorate degree (which I later found out he printed himself). I hired an ex-FBI agent to investigate him, and found out he had been abusive in the past, and had been arrested. Everything he said and did were lies, and for only ONE reason. He wanted everything I had. He wanted my house, my money, my retirement, and all of the life I had left in my soul. I gave him so much money, but I refused to sell my house. Then when I threw him out, he put a bomb in my house, and I had to call the ATF. He also put a gun to my face, and was abusive in so many other physical and psychological ways. He said he was coming back to kill me one day, and I don't know if he will or not, but I always look over my shoulder everywhere I go, just in case. Then, I talk about spousal abuse, the why's, etc., and list places for women to get help if they find themselves in a similar situation.
