Small Town Famous is book 2 in the Fawn Creek Series. This closed-door rom com is full of more Hallmark vibes, lots of banter, small town charm and a story of two friends that fall hopelessly in love.

But she''s determined to build a better life for herself and her daughter. Even if she has to do it alone. Encouraged by her friends, Avery dives into a new, and totally unexpected, side hustle as a content creator, in order to gain financial independence. As her online fame starts to take off-with plenty of quirky, laugh-out-loud moments along the way - Avery finds herself unexpectedly falling for Derek, Fawn Creek''s hunky police officer that always has her back. But when her past traumas rear their ugly head, will she allow them to sabotage the life she''s worked so hard to create?

Dating in a small town is hard. Not falling for your friend''s brother? Even harder. Madison King is single for the first time since junior high and determined to make the most of it. After a devastating divorce and one regrettably amazing night with her friend''s brother, she''s back home from vacation and ready to focus on what really matters: rediscovering the colorful, confident girl she used to be. She''s got a plan, starting with everything from a fresh hairstyle to new paint on the walls. There''s only one rule: absolutely no more Bryan Thompson. She might even go on a date or two... but dating in a town like Fawn Creek? Not exactly the fresh start she imagined. Between nosy neighbors, awkward setups, and walking red flags disguised as eligible bachelors, Madison''s quickly learning that being single in a small town comes with its own set of challenges. Maybe Madison is destined to be alone after all. Or maybe her friend''s brother isn''t nearly as off-limits as she thought. This is book three in the Fawn Creek Series, but this story can be enjoyed as a standalone as well. No prior books required.

Akiko Yamada felt like the prodigal daughter returning home after years away. They had whisked her away for her safety, but that safety net had failed. Yoichi Kyo knew the moment Akiko had been released from his clutches. He only had to figure out where his half-blood brother had sent her. They would all learn, regardless, she was his now. What had begun as a game had only turned into an evil and dark obsession. No one else could have her. Luca Kyo had been flung into the deepest pit of hell after seeing Akiko off to America. Tokyo felt cold now, a perpetual winter for him. It had been for her safety, but then Yoichi found her. Now, he moved quickly to get her back home to protect her properly.

They took my childhood. They took my country. But when then they tried to take my sister, it led to their downfall. You grow up fast when leading a rebellion. You learn who to trust - sometimes the hard way. You become hard because you have no other choice. Whatever it takes. That’s what it’s come down to, but it didn’t start out this way. They’ve given us no options; no safe path to tread. They’ve imprisoned us. We’ve had to watch our friends die. But it ends now. We’re no longer alone. One fight is over, but another has just begun. Not all of us will make it, but there’s a weapon that is more dangerous than anything we’ve ever seen. We have our mission: stop them from destroying everything we have and come back to help build everything we could hope for. A new world. This wasn’t the life anybody imagined, and we’re going to do something about it.

Safety is an illusion. We’re back to where we started – two sisters living under a government we can’t trust. The rest of our friends are dead or missing. Texas should be our safe haven, but have we traded one prison for another? There are larger things at work; more allies and enemies to be found. They all look the same to us. The Texans want us to fall in line. The rebels want us to fight. The colonies are more dangerous than we imagined, and we’re caught in the middle. Not all of us are meant to be soldiers, but the time for indecision has passed. Sides must be chosen. Bonds must be broken. And the war will begin.

Bryant Garrity isn''t irresistible. His lengthy resume of Heisman Trophy winner, number one draft pick and highest paid player isn''t all that impressive. The fact his chiseled jaw and mesmerizing blue eyes have probably made him Mr. Popularity from the age of five isn''t going to work on me. Not when I have goals-goals that don''t include finding myself on an all pro-football heartthrobs checklist. Carly Lincoln is different. I could go on and on about her dark wavy curls, her pouty pink lips, or her whiskey-on-the-rock eyes that reveal her truest desires. The fact she''s not impressed by my sports superstar aura like most women makes her worth more than a fling. But this year is my last shot at glory after crumbling to a mere mortal on the game''s biggest stage. My focus needs to be on the ring, not turning Carly''s no''s to yes''s. Carly and Bryant''s paths are about to collide, and they better be prepared to fight for what matters most because life''s paths aren''t all sunshine and winding roads.

The purpose of this study was to measure student-athlete''s awareness of transferable skills, identify what skills are most transferable, and identify the resources available to aid student-athletes in the transition from athletic career retirement to a non-athletic career setting. A modified version of McKnight''s (2007) survey was used to collect data regarding student-athlete awareness of career transition and transferable skills. One hundred and sixty student-athletes participated in the survey, which was comprised of three parts: (a) transferable skills, (b) career transition, and (c) demographic information. A quantitative approach utilized descriptive statistics to identify student-athlete''s awareness of transferable skills, the most frequently reported transferable skills, and the resources that aid in the acquirement of transferable skills and transition from athletic career retirement to a non-athletic career setting. The theoretical framework of the Model of Transition (Schlossberg, 1981) and Life Development Intervention (LDI) (Mayocchi and Hanrahan, 2000) was used to explain the factors that influence transition and role of transferable skills while transitioning out of sport. The findings are consistent with previous research stated in the literature, indicating student-athletes are highly aware of transferable skills. The student-athletes who participated in this study also determined strong work ethic as the most frequently reported transferable skill. Family members and athletics department personnel such as coaches and student-athlete development staff were identified as the most useful resources for aiding in the acquirement of transferable skills and transition from athletic career retirement to a non-athletic career setting.

My book is about a lot. I created really artsy and pretty stories some of it''s real and few of could''ve been true. And some might''ve come from the heavens above. I really believe all and all that kind of stuff I''ve been told by the minister. Yes, I have my crystal ball. Done some god-gifted types of psychic stuff and all. But those things cause cramps or spasms and some other stuff. Friend and family would know about well. I sometimes can look art, paintings and know and make a pretty poem. I started creating poems when I was teenager. Yeah, plenty of people have it rough and tough. I am lucky to survive healthcare. Doctors thought I died one time when I got really sick. When I was in the hospital I should have been treated a lot better. So, some of it''s true and a lot of stories are just fake and made up.

Everyone makes lots of little decisions from the moment they wake up until they sink back into sleep at night. Decisions that have no consequences or expectations. But, what about the rare choices that could change everything? How do you know what is right for you? Happiness is something you have to choose again and again, each day. Michaela Matthews wants that more than anything. Standing in her way is a family pushing her down a specific path and the man she loves preventing her from choosing anything different. When she moves to the city for the next step in her parent''s plan, she starts to figure out what she wants - or more importantly, what she doesn''t want. She thinks she has to leave her old life behind to discover a new one. This throws every choice she has made into question. It isn''t until tragedy strikes that she learns that sometimes there is no choice at all. Sometimes you can have it all. Jason Marks has had the kind of life where things have seemed to just happen to him, no choice involved at all. It''s a struggle for him to keep the past at bay while he tries to move forward. He is no longer the unwanted foster kid. He is a business owner, surrounded by people that love him. But, he isn''t in love. He''s not even sure he believes in it. Not anymore. At least, not until a heartbroken girl falls apart in his arms. It''s enough to make him a believer. Make him a dreamer. Enough to force him to answer that question. Do you give all of yourself to someone who might not choose you in return? Yes. Yes, you do.

About 2500 years ago Daniel, the Hebrew prophet, penned some incredible words. He wrote a history book in reverse, as it were. He was seeing forward through ''history'' in the same way we look back through it. Quite an incredible claim, yet as is demonstrated in this book, a valid one. Regardless of your background or belief system (or lack of), you will be astounded at the perfect marriage of the 45 verses of Daniel 11 and the history of the world. This book is unique in concept and in form and will bring ease and clarity to the study of a difficult subject. It naturally begins at verse one of the chapter, focusing on the historical figure given, and then follows the text to each subsequent point in history. Reference materials are included to make study of the verse text simple.

This descriptive and analytic study used a secondary data set to describe and compare medication use and agricultural injury experiences between younger (≤54 years old) and older (≥55 years old) farmers; and to examine the relationship between the use of specific classes of medication and reported agricultural injury. The study sample included a total of 316 farmers, age 26 to 80 years old; 103 older farmers (33%), and 210 younger farmers (66%). This cohort of farmers sustained a total of 318 nonfatal agricultural injuries. No statistical difference was found in the mean number of injuries sustained by older and younger farmers. The injury rate for the whole cohort of farmers was 41.95 injuries/100 years; older farmers'' injury rate was 38.35 injuries/100 person-years, while younger farmers'' was 44.01 injuries/100 person-years. Older farmers were more likely to report taking a medication than the younger farmers (OR: 3.08; 95% CI: 1.94-4.92). Older farmers had statistically significant greater odds of reporting the use of several medication classes/subclasses than the younger farmers, including: hormones; cardiac medications such as: ACE inhibitors, blood pressure medications, alpha blockers, and beta blockers, and finally central nervous system medications such as pain medications. Older farmers were also found to report taking more medications than younger farmers. Multiple logistic regression analysis using GEE was used to examine the association between using specific classes of medication and agricultural injury, taking into consideration a myriad of confounding factors. Agricultural work exposures associated with injury included noise (OR 1.39, 95% CI: 1.02-1.90), chemical/pesticide use (OR 1.88, 95% CI: 1.39-2.55), heavy lifting (1.55, 95% CI: 1.06-2.28) and raising livestock (OR 1.49, 95% CI: 1.08-2.06).
