Ransom
Life in the fast lane... Screaming fans... Bright lights... Fame... And all the pressure that comes with them. "So... are there any musicians in here?" A simple question, asked one afternoon in a rural high school music room. A few days later, six kids answer it. A year later, they are the biggest thing in pop music. Go figure? Join Martin, Misty, Joshua, Ariel, Rhyan, and Vanessa - known to the world as RANSOM - as they go from small-town Kansas, to filling 15,000 seat arenas, and ultimately, to the stage at the Grammys - twice. Tag along as these six amazingly talented friends show the world that fame can be achieved without losing one's roots, and that being driven and passionate, can turn 'life in the fast lane' into the 'journey of a lifetime'.
Ephemeral Encounter
“What’s it about?” “Falling in love...” “You wrote a book about falling in love?” “Yeah… well… it seemed like a good idea at the time. And you know I’ve written others, so what’s with the disbelieving look?” “Just unexpected is all.” ***** Twenty-two, and famous – in the blink of an eye. One second, she’s just another university student – the next, she is recognized by everyone in Great Britain. Not something easily dealt with, by a farm raised, country girl, from Wales. When her tumultuous life begins to spiral completely out of control, she abandons it – and disappears. Completely. Forty-five years old, single, and comfortable in his life. Well... comf...
Solution Squared

What the world - and those in power in both countries - aren't aware of, is that over the years, Courtney ...
Living the Dream
Legendary broadcaster Jack Brickhouse once said "any team can have a bad century." He was joking, of course, but the Chicago Cubs franchise, whose games he worked for decades, entered 2008 on the brink of making his words come painfully true. A number of expansion teams in the four major sports never have won a World Series, Super Bowl, Stanley Cup, or NBA title in their brief histories. But no team ever has gone 100 years without winning a championship. Following the Cubs' quest to avert that infamous distinction is the backdrop for Living the Dream, which, for author Jim McArdle, it truly was. McArdle, a former Cubs employee as editor of the official team magazine Vine Line, quit his job to devote himself completely to the 2008 Cubs' season. Thanks to clubhouse access generously offered by the team and an apartment located just beyond Wrigley's left-field fence, McArdle was uniquely positioned to compile this fascinating story.
Cubbing
Right Now You Are Cubbing Whether you are at Wrigley Field, discussing the baseball team at work, or reading about the Cubs—you are Cubbing. Just thinking about the Cubs—you are Cubbing. Just writing about the Cubs—I am Cubbing, and pleased you have joined me as we go Cubbing. In the 2009 season, the Cubs were in first place by two percentage points on July 31. From the start of Spring Training as related in this book, my Cubbing comments were positive as I was positive about the 2009 season. The first three months I felt that the Cubs any day would pull away from the pack. And when in late July they started making their move, actually being in first place by a percentage point, I just...
