Taaffe points out that Marshall had countless responsibilities as Chief of Staff, but he believed that his most significant and difficult task was recommending officers for the President to nominate as generals and assigning them to their posts. ... [...] he relied on his closest advisors, Generals Henry H. (Hap) Arnold, Brehon B. Somervell and Lesley J. McNair, to identify promising officers to fill the command positions at division, corps and army level.

YONKERS N.Y. -- Yonkers residents are invited to a discussion about the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln and its devastating aftermath on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. at the Will Branch of the Yonkers Public Library
Ossining resident John Muranelli, 59, will lead the program titled, "Now He Belongs To The Ages - President Dies at Assassin's Hand April 14, 1865."
Muranelli will detail the events leading up to the shooting by American stage actor John Wilkes Booth. He will also talk about the trial of the various conspirators, and talk about legislation that came as a result of the assassination.
Muranelli's interest in Lincoln's assassination came from a library visit in 1977 where the sports section wasn't entertaining, he said.
"Back then I didn't know Lincoln from a hole in the wall," said Muranelli. "Then while browsing, this biography on Lincoln caught my eye, and I read it nonstop. It really drew me into the drama of the shooting, and how things really changed because of it. I have a regular job, but this has really become my passion. It's a pretty amazing story, and if I can just make one person interested then I'm happy with it."
The discussion will last an hour, and will include a half hour question and answer period afterwards. The event is free and open to the public. For more information, call 914-337-1500.

binary-coded decimalAbbreviated as BCD, binary-coded decimal is a format for representing decimal numbers (integers) in which each digit is represented by four bits (a nibble ). For example, the number 375 would be represented as:
0011 0111 0101
One advantage of BCD over binary representations is that there is no limit to the size of a number. To add another digit, you just need to add a new 4-bit sequence. In contrast, numbers represented in binary format are generally limited to the largest number that can be represented by 8, 16, 32 or 64 bits.

Michael Stipe comes out, sort of
BY Advocate.com Editors
May 15 2001 12:00 AM ET
REM band member Michael Stipe revealed in an interview with Time magazine that hes been in a relationship with an amazing man for the past three years, although he will not identify the man other than to say he is not a celebrity. Stipe says he now feels comfortable discussing his sexuality and describing himself as a queer artist. Stipe had previously waffled on the topic of his sexuality and would only go so far as to say that he had engaged in relationships with both men and women. While this new revelation falls short of full disclosure, several media outlets have interpreted this latest interview as Stipes official coming-out.

"We stayed at Rancho Relaxo and had an amazing time. The Ranch is extremely comfortable and has everything you could ever need. We brought our family dog and the Ranch was perfect for her as well. We have teenagers and the Ranch was close enough to walk to the beach, shops, and restaurants. This was excellent because it allowed for us to have a great family vacation but also allowed the teenagers to go off on their own when needed. The dog and I spent a lot of time on the screened in porch reading or doing cross word puzzles. I would recommend the Ranch to anyone.

DEFINITION of 'Double No-Touch Option'
A type of exotic option that gives an investor an agreed upon payout if the price of the underlying asset does not reach or surpass one of two predetermined barrier levels. An investor using this type of option pays a premium to his or her broker and in turn receives the right to choose the position of the barriers, the time to expiration, and the payout to be received if the price fails to breach either barrier. With this type of option, the maximum possible loss is just the cost of setting up the option.
A double no-touch option is the opposite of a double one-touch option.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Double No-Touch Option'
This type of option is useful for a trader who believes that the price of an underlying asset will remain range-bound over a certain period of time. Double no-touch options are growing in popularity among traders in the forex markets.
For example, assume that the current USD/EUR rate is 1.20 and the trader believes that this rate will not change dramatically over the next 14 days. The trader could use a double no-touch option with barriers at 1.19 and 1.21 to capitalize on this outlook. In this case, the trader stands to make a profit if the rate fails to move beyond either of the two barriers.

Florida State Football: Will A Freshman Win The WR Battle?
The Florida State Seminoles are still trying to figure out who is going to slot in as their No. 2 receiver since losing Kelvin Benajmin and Kenny Shaw. There may be a few veterans left on the roster, but it's still an inexperienced unit. Head coach Jimbo Fisher has given few hints on who will be the lucky candidate.
At one point, Fisher was expecting Bobo Wilson to step up and take that spot, but since his little run in with the law, they have been searching for someone to step up. Isaiah Jones was thought to be a potential and viable replacement for Benjamin, but now he has been declared academically ineligible, leaving fewer options than before.
In comes a trio of freshman with star-studded talent written all over them. Both Ermon Lane and Travis Rudolph are former 5-stars, while Ja'Vonn Harrison was a 4-star. All three are looked to have an ample amount of opportunity to showcase their talents in the early stages of practice. The one who has looked the strongest out of the pack has been Rudolph.
He is looking like the potential odds on favorite to step in as the No. 2 receiver. He has impressed coaches this past week after sitting out for roughly a week due to a minor injury. So much so, that he has been getting quite a few reps with the first team offense.
His route running is arguably better than the veterans on the roster (besides Rashad Greene), he has solid speed, great hands, and he has a strong understanding of the game; these are all key components to becoming a starter.
While most of us won't know until probably the week before who is going to win the starting job, it wouldn't shock me if Rudolph gets the nod. You should expect to see a lot of him this season regardless of the outcome in the receiving battle.

BOOK TOUR REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: Confessions of a Queen B* by Crista McHugh
Confessions of a Queen B*
by Crista McHugh
YA Contemporary
Book Description
Alexis Wyndham is the other type of Queen B—the Queen Bitch.
After years of being the subject of ridicule, she revels in her ability to make the in-crowd cower via the exposés on her blog, The Eastline Spy. Now that she's carved out her place in the high school hierarchy, she uses her position to help the unpopular kids walking the hallways.
Saving a freshman from bullies? Check.
Swapping insults with the head cheerleader? Check.
Falling for the star quarterback? So not a part of her plan.
But when Brett offers to help her solve the mystery of who's posting X-rated videos from the girls' locker room, she'll have to swallow her pride and learn to see past the high school stereotypes she's never questioned—until now.
Confessions of a Queen B* by Crista McHugh
This short tale gets three stars, but just barely. To be honest, it's full of stereotypical characters, decisions that make no sense, and predictable moments. But at its' heart, it had a compelling theme that kept me reading until I finished it in one sitting.
Our main character is Alexis, senior and resident gossip blogger at her high school. There apparently is enough going on at this school that Alexis has gained quite the rep: if you're trying to hide something nefarious, she will find out, and it will be posted on her blog for the entire school to see!
It should come as no shock that Alexis doesn't have many friends. Her besties are the outliers; a flamboyantly gay Asian kid, and a sex grazed Goth girl. Other than that, everyone else in school is pretty much scared of her. Except for one boy: quarterback and student body president Brett Pederson.
It just so happens that Brett and Alexis get paired up for a school project. Though Alexis does her bitchy best to repel him, Brett is immune and instead seems to want to get to know her better. Alexis must learn to let her guard down around him, which she never does with ANYONE.
As I said, the book is full of stereotypical characters–the gay boy that can only talk about penis (wtf, I know that's not all he thinks about), the head cheerleader with fake boobs, the quarterback that is nothing but perfect. I saw another review that said if you can remember Freddie Prinze Jr's character in She's All That, then you've got Brett–and that is a SPOT ON observation. Even when it comes to his parents putting pressure on him about college. That is literally the only problem he has in his life. He is too good to be true, and that does not make a good YA character.
Alexis does have a bit more depth, and getting peeks into her true feelings is what kept me interested. Alexis cannot let anyone see her true self; I think she does not know how. She's also concerned about losing her status at school, though she would never admit it. If she's not the Queen Bitch, then what is she? Her struggles with her identity are a bit buried, but there if you are looking.
Apparently this book is the first in a series, but I'm not sure if I'll be continuing. I might though, just to see what Alexis turns into once she breaks out of her high school mold.

BOOK TOUR REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: Sleepless by Michael Omer
by Michael Omer
Narrowdale Series, Book One
Book Description
Don't fall asleep. Don't dream. Don't get caught.
Amy knew she'd hate Narrowdale, a boring suburban town. How could it possibly compare to L.A., where she lived her entire life? Being a high school freshman in a new place made things even worse.
And that was before she started having the same nightmare over and over again. Before she woke up every night to a shrill whistle outside her window. Before she met a homeless man who seemed to know way too much.
Some things seem to happen only in Narrowdale, where dark secrets are hiding beneath the surface…
14 year old Amy isn't too thrilled when she has to leave LA to move to a small town called Narrowdale right before her freshman year. Not only is it bad enough that it's taking her a while to make friends, but she's starting to learn that this own is hiding more than a few secrets. Like the homeless man who seems to be able to read minds and see the future. Like the terrifying dreams that are haunting Amy's every night.
When Amy decides she can't take any more sleepless nights, she begins to dig into the truth about what is going on in Narrowdale. And a nearly ten year old crime catches up with her in a life threatening way.
To be honest, this story starts out very very slowly, with Amy overexplaining the mundane details of her day. But the book is only 160 pages so it was a very quick read…although it took nearly to the halfway point for any action to be going on.
I guess you could say Narrowdale is a kind of supernatural town, with things going on no one can explain and that no one really tries to. The citizens just accept that the town's "quirks" are a way of life. There's really no explanation given about why the town is the way it is, so I suppose we are going to accept this fact as well.
Amy is just OK as a main character, though at times it seems she can't make up her mind about what type of person she wants to be. Sometimes she's shy, others snarky, others a class-skipping rebel. Her constant narration of every little detail became annoying quickly.
Once the story hit its' stride about the reason Amy was having her dreams/visions, things moved very quickly. Amy and her partners investigate, pry, and just plain get lucky breaks, but they find out the truth. This truth puts them in danger, of course.
I truly appreciated that this story didn't have some budding romance or awkward meet cutes with its characters. Amy got by with help from her friends, but she didn't need a boyfriend, and that was great.
The end moved very, very fast in comparison to the beginning, and I wish the climactic moment had been fleshed out more. It's also interesting to note that Sleepless is the first book in a series set in the town of Narrowdale. Maybe we'll learn more about this place after all.

REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: Mercy House by Adam Cesare
Mercy House
by Adam Cesare
Book Description
Harriet Laurel notices the odor at Mercy House as soon as she sets foot inside, brought there against her will by her son, Don, and his wife, Nikki. In the early stages of dementia, Harriet has grown resentful of Nikki, blaming her daughter-in-law for failing to supply grandchildren. Yet even Harriet must admit that her mind becomes clearer as soon as she crosses the threshold. If it wasn't for that annoying smell.
Arnold Piper is an eighty-five-year-old ex-Marine, a proud man who has cared for himself his whole life. But no longer. Betrayed by his aging body, Arnold is learning that the trials he survived long ago in war-torn Korea pale beside the daily indignities of growing old. Little does he know that his greatest nightmares are still ahead of him.
Sarah Campbell is an idealistic nurse whose compassion has been stretched to the breaking point at the chronically understaffed facility that is Mercy House. But now Sarah's list of unpleasant duties is about to take a terrifying turn. For something wicked is brewing in Mercy House. Something dark and rotten . . . and deadly.
The book started out in a promising way, but quickly became a gore fest….it was gore just for the sake of having gore, in my opinion.
In this tale, some sort of change comes over the residents of a nursing home so that they're not only growing stronger and overpowering the staff and visitors, they are in fact thirsting for their blood! I wouldn't call this a zombie book, though.
We learn just enough about the main characters so that we care what happens to them; even though some are stereotypes, we still want them to survive. The book is pretty fast paced, with action happening within the first 20%, and ramping up quickly after that.
While I like the author's writing style and originality, I had a hard time taking this story seriously sometimes. It's not that the blood and gore turned my stomach, it's that it seemed it was at times just put into the plot for shock value, not to add anything. I would recommend this book only for strict horror fans who want a different, but still familiar feeling, book about survival horror.

SPOTLIGHT & GIVEAWAY: Consumption by Heather Herrman
by Heather Herrman
Book Description
For fans of Stephen King, Joe Hill, and Sarah Langan comes a thrilling new vision of American horror. In Heather Herrman's heart-pounding debut novel, evil is ready to feed—and it's got one hell of an appetite.
In the wake of tragedy, John and Erma Scott are heading west in search of a new life. So when car trouble strands them in sleepy Cavus, Montana, they decide to stay for a while, charmed by the friendly residents and the surrounding ambiance. Here, they hope, is the healing balm that their marriage needs.
Then John and Erma find themselves in a fight not just to save their marriage, but their very lives. For this is no ordinary town. Its quiet streets conceal a dark and bloody secret that has slumbered for centuries. Now, that secret is awake . . . and it's hungry.
Like a slow infection, evil is spreading through Cavus. Soon John and Erma—along with the local sheriff, an undocumented immigrant, a traumatized teenage girl, and an old man with terrible secrets of his own—must join together to battle an all-consuming force that has set its sights on its prey: the entire human race.
"Both the evil that suffuses the pages of Consumption and the motley gang of innocents who defend against it are much more interesting than those usually found in your average scare fare. Solid writing elevates this imaginative fright-fest from an invigorating new voice."—Sophie Littlefield, bestselling author of the Aftertime series

REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: Dark Screams Volume 3 Short Story Collection
Dark Screams, Volume 3
Short Story Collection
Book Description
Peter Straub, Jack Ketchum, Darynda Jones, Jacquelyn Frank, and Brian Hodge contribute five gloomy, disturbing tales of madness and horror to Dark Screams: Volume Three, edited by Brian James Freeman and Richard Chizmar of the celebrated Cemetery Dance Publications.
THE COLLECTED SHORT STORIES OF FREDDIE PROTHERO by Peter Straub
A mere child yet a precocious writer, young Freddie records a series of terrifying encounters with an inhuman being that haunts his life . . . and seems to predict his death.
GROUP OF THIRTY by Jack Ketchum
When an award-winning horror writer on the downward slope of a long career receives an invitation to address the Essex County Science Fiction Group, he figures he's got nothing to lose. He couldn't be more wrong.
NANCY by Darynda Jones
Though she's adopted by the cool kids, the new girl at Renfield High School is most drawn to Nancy Wilhoit, who claims to be haunted. But it soon becomes apparent that poltergeists—and people—are seldom what they seem.
I LOVE YOU, CHARLIE PEARSON by Jacquelyn Frank
Charlie Pearson has a crush on Stacey Wheeler. She has no idea. Charlie will make Stacey see that he loves her, and that she loves him—even if he has to kill her to make her say it.
THE LONE AND LEVEL SANDS STRETCH FAR AWAY by Brian Hodge
When Marni moves in next door, the stale marriage of Tara and Aidan gets a jolt of adrenaline. Whether it's tonic or toxic is another matter.
This is a fine collection of scary short stories. While some offer more chills than others ( I wouldn't read Nancy alone at night), they all had great twists and led to pretty cool conclusions.
My favorite story is probably Nancy by Darynda Jones. It's the story of a high school girl who seems to be tormented by a poltergeist–but when a new girl in town tries to help her, she discovers a shocking secret. This story was rather scary…I DID read it late into the night and kept looking over my should to make sure nothing was there!
Another great one is I Love You, Charlie Pearson by Jacqueline Frank. As the story of a young boy who seems to have a very creepy crush on an older girl unfolds, you get squirmy and by the end you have your mouth open in shock…because the ending was definitely unexpected!
Dark Screams Volume 3 is a gathering of perfect little bites of fiction, and as you finish one story you'll definitely be ready to move on to the next one. Reader beware!

REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: Let Me Die in His Footsteps by Lori Ray
Let Me Die in His Footsteps
by Lori Ray
Historical Fiction/Mystery
Book Description
On a dark Kentucky night in 1952 exactly halfway between her fifteenth and sixteenth birthdays, Annie Holleran crosses into forbidden territory. Everyone knows Hollerans don't go near Baines, not since Joseph Carl was buried two decades before, but, armed with a silver-handled flashlight, Annie runs through her family's lavender fields toward the well on the Baines' place. At the stroke of midnight, she gazes into the water in search of her future. Not finding what she had hoped for, she turns from the well and when the body she sees there in the moonlight is discovered come morning, Annie will have much to explain and a past to account for.
It was 1936, and there were seven Baine boys. That year, Annie's aunt, Juna Crowley, with her black eyes and her long blond hair, came of age. Before Juna, Joseph Carl had been the best of all the Baine brothers. But then he looked into Juna's eyes and they made him do things that cost innocent people their lives. Sheriff Irlene Fulkerson saw justice served–or did she?
As the lavender harvest approaches and she comes of age as Aunt Juna did in her own time, Annie's dread mounts. Juna will come home now, to finish what she started. If Annie is to save herself, her family, and this small Kentucky town, she must prepare for Juna's return, and the revelation of what really happened all those years ago.
This book is set in the South in the early to middle 1900's, and it moves at about the same pace as I expected life did back then: slowly, taking time for things to happen, but they are oh so delicious when they do.
The girls in this rural Kentucky town have abilities called the "know how"; some are both with the gift of being able to predict when things will happen, or just strong feelings about certain things, and some are born without gifts. The book tells the story of two sets of sisters, a generation apart, in which one sister has strong abilities and the other has none.
Our main character is Annie Holleran. On the verge of becoming a woman, she and her sister go down to a forbidden property one night to perform the tradition of seeing one's future husband in the well. But instead of seeing a boy, Annie sees a body. Events only get more sinister from there, as we begin to learn the story of Annie's mother and her sister, and how events from the past can affect the present in ways we never expected.
I definitely liked Annie as a character. Because of who her mother was, some people in their tiny town were wary of her and what her abilities might hold. Annie is like her mother in some ways, but she's her own person in the most important ones. She abides by tradition but doesn't focus her life around it. She has her own thoughts on who she should marry and how he should treat her.
The story has a slight supernatural touch, just enough to give the plot a darkly mysterious edge but never fully explained. The entire town is affected by "the know how", whether a girl has it or does not, and the townsfolk all believe in the powers and hold them in high reverence.
As I said, the plot moves slowly, but watching it unfold in the way it did was a fantastic plot device within itself. You find yourself feeling many different things about the characters as you learn more about them, and you will change your mind completely on some things by the time all is revealed.
This is a great summer read for anyone who likes their mystery with a bit of the unknown.

by Krys Fenner
YA Thriller
Book Description
Bella has lived a rather boring life, but that all quickly changes. A new position in school forces her to take charge. A new boyfriend (her first), Jeremiah, hands her a confidence she has never known before. A new role in her church's Fall Production makes her a leader.

Can she survive the road of destruction and emerge stronger? Or has all that she gained been destroyed forever?
Using Psychology in Writing
by Krys Fenner
There are two ways to use psychology in writing. One gets very technical, while the other is more descriptive and action-oriented. There are two questions I would ask. Whose perspective is the story being told? And who is your audience? Once those are answered, then you'll know how much terminology should be included in the manuscript.
Theoretically a work of non-fiction directed at a psychology student, psychologists, psychiatrist, or any counselor will be filled with more terminology than say a work of fiction intended for a young adult (12-18), new adult (18-25), or adult (25+) audience. Pieces of fiction are more likely to be action-based than using terminology. However, this again depends on the point of view character and your audience.
If the novel is written from the perspective of a counselor, psychologist, psychiatrist then the use of technical terms is highly probable. But if the book is written from a character suffering a particular psychosis, the character isn't going to think "I have an adjustment disorder with a depressed mood." Instead, actions and words of that character will display the psychological issue. If I was an author writing this character, then I would take into consideration how to demonstrate their problem.
Let's say Jane has just gotten divorced. To describe an adjustment disorder with depression, I would reference her problems sleeping or lack of appetite. I would write about Jane's refusal to spend time with friends. Or how she misses time from work. I could show her crying a lot or getting frequent headaches. All of these things would be symptoms of the psychological issue without verbally giving it a name. So, what if the point of view were changed?
With all that is going on, Jane recognizes she has a problem and decides to go see a psychologist. The doctor Jane chooses consults with another psychologist in their practice. We'll call Jane's psychologist, Dr. Tracy. If I were writing the scene from Dr. Tracy's point of view, then I am more likely going to use technical terms, especially if she is speaking to a colleague. However, as a writer I will take into consideration my audience. Who am I writing the story for? Do I expect people who read the novel to understand these terms? If not, I have two options: define the terms in the book or dumb the terminology down.
It isn't hard to write a book using psychological issues without technological terms. You just have to know who your audience is and whose perspective the story should be told from. The difficulty is in making sure the actions and feelings the character displays are accurate and appropriate for the situation. If you can do that successfully, the terminology won't matter; the story will.

Meet Scarlett, a smart, sarcastic fifteen-year-old, ready to take on crime in her hometown. When Scarlett agrees to investigate a local boy's suicide, she figures she's in for an easy case and a quick buck. But it doesn't take long for suicide to start looking a lot like murder.

Jennifer Latham delivers a compelling story and a character to remember in this one-of-a-kind debut novel.
About the Author
I write because it's the only job I've been able to stick to for more than two years. Seriously.
I've lived lots of different places. Here's the list: New York City; San Francisco; Augusta, GA; Buffalo, NY; Philadelphia, PA; Madrid; Providence, RI; and now…Tulsa, OK.
I've had some really weird and really normal jobs. The weirdest was helping out with autopsies. The one I'd go back to if I couldn't write is being a school psychologist. The one I still do sometimes is teach yoga.
I live with my two daughters, two dogs, a cat, three turtles, three hermit crabs, a bunch of fish, and a husband (mine, of course).
I love watching people.
And I love writing about the people who live inside my head, even when they don't play nice.

REVIEW: Lucky Strike by Bobbie Pyron
Lucky Strike
by Bobbie Pyron
Middle Grade
Book Description
Nate Harlow has never had a lucky day in his life. He's never won a prize, he's never been picked first, he's never even won a coin toss. His best friend, Genesis Beam (aka Gen), believes in science and logic, and she doesn't think for one second that there's such a thing as luck, good or bad. But only an extremely unlucky person could be struck by lightning on his birthday… and that person is Nate Harlow. By some miracle, though, Nate survives, and the strike seems to have changed his luck.
Suddenly, Nate's grandpa is the busiest fisherman in their small, beachside town. And Nate finds himself the center of attention, the most popular kid at school, the one who hits a game-winning home run! This lucky streak can't last forever, though, and as a hurricane draws close to the shores of Paradise Beach, Nate and Gen may need more than just good luck to save their friendship and their town: They need a miracle.
Nate is so unlucky, that he gets hit by lightning on his 11th birthday! He does survive it though, and it seems that somehow, it has had an effect on him–everything he does now turns out right. It even appears he can affect the luck of others!
But Nate soon learns that just because a wish comes true, doesn't mean it solves every problem in your life–in a lot of instances, it can create more.
Nate and his best friend Gen are kind of the outcast kids of their small town, but they have each other and their families, at least. When Nate gets struck by lightning, his luck changes, and he finds himself a very popular person all of a sudden. It doesn't take him long to learn that popularity comes with a price, and his "blessing" of good luck is more like a curse, at least when it comes to the relationships he has with the people closest to him.
I think this is a pretty good middle grade offering that 5th-7th graders would like. Gen and Nate have a pretty good friendship, and I think a lot of kids would relate to the way they are outsiders.
Lucky Strike had plenty of humorous parts, which I think young readers will enjoy as well. There are also moments of sadness and suspense that will keep readers quite engaged.
I liked the writing, though everything seemed to move very fast, even for a 250-plus page book! As I said, this is more geared toward middle grade readers, and they will love learning Nate's story.

BOOK TOUR INTERVIEW: Blood Matters by Aviva Bel'Harold
Blood Matters
by Aviva Bel'Harold
YA Supernatural
Book Description
Grief changes people.
Brittany used to be a normal teen. She ate like one, slept like one, and had typical teenage mood swings. But after she found her best friend dead, everything changed.
Grief might explain her loss of appetite and her lack of sleep. It might even explain why she sees her dead friend everywhere she goes. But it certainly won't explain why everyone she touches develops bruises or why she's attracted to the smell of blood.
And, she's pretty sure grief dosen't make you want to rip apart your boyfriend just to get closer to his beating heart.
But what happens when it's the choices we make, not the creature inside, that proves the monster is in us all?
1. Tell us a little about yourself.
I love people. I love being around them. Listening to their life stories. Talking to them. Entertaining them with my life stories. I love doing this so much that for a long time I figured I should have been an actress. But I had kids before I could pursue a career in acting.
I never wanted to be a writer… No, actually, that's not entirely true. I never thought I could be one. You see, I've always had stories — huge epic fantasies in my head. But I'm dyslexic so I never thought I could become an author. I always figured I'd just be a good story teller — you know, the kind of person who's good to have at parties.
No, not in this book. I did however borrow names for it but not because the characters represented anyone, I just liked the names.
Right now I am working on a space adventure that takes place in a solar system ruled by magic that's being misused. It's a YA that's a dystopian space opera with magic. It's going to be amazing!
Writing makes me feel like I've lived more lives than the one I've been given. Also, I like meeting new people and when I write I feel like I do that with each new character. And lastly, even if I wasn't writing I'd still be making all these things up — so being a writer helps me justify all my daydreaming.
Aviva Bel'Harold writes young adult fiction: Horror, Science Fiction, Urban Fantasy, etc. — as long as the characters are young, full of life, and out for adventure. When she's writing, you'll find her curled up on a sofa with a pen and a pad of paper, surrounded by her adorable puppies.Born in Winnipeg and raised in Vancouver, Aviva Bel'Harold currently resides in Calgary with her husband, four children, and six dachshunds.

Activists "Kiss In" at Mormon Church
Jul 15, 2009
USA Today reports that former Salt Lake City Councilwoman Deeda Seed helped organize a "kiss in" to protest the treatment of Matt Aune and Derek Jones outside the Mormon Temple. About 100 gay and straight participants were seen smooching near the spot where the two were harassed.
In El Paso, the Dallas Morning News informs readers that Puentes LGBT Resources put in a formal request at a city counsel meeting for El Paso to get serious about training police to properly deal with the gay community. This seems to be a reletively modest plea after the force's royal blunder.

Product description
Compass chronicles the misadventures of those who attempted to perfect the magnetic compass-so precious to sixteenth-century seamen that, by law, any man found tampering with it had his hand pinned to the mast with a dagger. From the time man first took to the seas until only one thousand years ago, sight and winds were the sailor's only navigational aids. It was not until the development of the compass that maps and charts could be used with any accuracy-even so, it would be hundreds of years and thousands of shipwrecks before the marvelous instrument was perfected. And its history up to modern times is filled with the stories of disasters that befell sailors who misused it. In this page-turning history of man's search for reliable navigation of treacherous sea routes around the globe, Alan Gurney brings to life the instrument Victor Hugo called "the soul of the ship."
