Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lyrical and heartfelt collection by an award-winning writer that connects the lives of young people from small towns in Alaska and the American west. Each story is unique, yet universal. In this book, the impact of wildfire, a wayward priest, or a mysterious disappearance ricochet across communities, threading through stories. Here, ordinary actions such as ice skating or going to church reveal hidden truths. One choice threatens a lifelong friendship. Siblings save each other. Rescue and second chances are possible, and so is revenge. On the surface, it seems that nothing ever happens in these towns. But Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock shows that underneath that surface, teenagers' lives blaze with fury, with secrets, and with love so strong it burns a path to the future.

With her four best friends—loving, infuriating, and all she could ever ask for—she can weather any storm. But when Sophie’s beloved Acadia High School marching band is selected to march in the upcoming Rose Parade, it’s her job to get them all the way to LA. Her plan? To persuade country singer Megan Pleasant, their Midwestern town’s only claim to fame, to come back to Acadia to headline a fundraising festival. The only problem is that Megan has very publicly sworn never to return. What ensues is a journey filled with long-kept secrets, hidden heartbreaks, and revelations that could change everything—along with a possible fifth best friend: a new guy with a magnetic smile and secrets of his own.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone dies famous is a story from the heartland about the uncommon lives of everyday people - the choices they make, how they live their lives, and how they die. As a tornado threatens their town, a stubborn old man who has lost his son teams up with a troubled young soldier to deliver a jukebox to the wealthy developer having an affair with the soldier's wife. It's July 2003 and the small town of Maple Springs, Missouri is suffering through a month-long drought. Dancer Stonemason, a long-forgotten hometown hero still grieving over the death of his oldest son, is moving into town to live with his more dependable younger son. He hires Wayne Mesirow, an Iraq war veteran, to help him liquidate his late son's business. The heat wave breaks and the skies darken. Dancer tries to settle an old score while Wayne discovers the true cost of his wife's indifference and turns his thoughts to revenge. When the tornado hits Maple Springs, only one of the men will make it out alive. "Len Joy's Everyone Dies Famous is a clear-eyed examination of how we live in an uncertain world. By creating imminently understandable characters and skillfully linking them to a specific landscape, one that is so evocatively described, he shows us all the ways in which we're connected, how fragile those threads are. In clear prose, Joy does real work here. I'm grateful for it." - KEVIN WILSON, author of Nothing to See Here "Mr. Joy sweeps us headlong into the swirling fury of lives buffeted not only by hail, rain, and wind, but even more so by disappointment, disillusion, and regret. He captures both physical and emotional dread with inexorable intensity." - JOE KILGORE, author of A Farmhouse in the Rain

Book excerpt: “Surely make you lose your mind…” So the Eagles warn us about the outrageous and ruthless lifestyle of the ambitious rock-n-roller. In fact, Don Henley could barely listen to the track “Life in the Fast Lane” when they were recording it. He was so high that it made him sick. The band that embodied the American dream with globe-straddling success, impossibly luxurious lives, and almost supernatural talent also descended into nightmare with bloodletting betrayal, hate-filled hubris, the skeletons of perceived enemies, brutally discarded lovers and former band mates left unburied in the road behind them. The Eagles’ story is a truly gothic American fable: one of ultimate power and rivers of money; of sex and drugs at a time when both were the lingua-franca of sophisticated So-Cal living; of a band who sang of peaceful easy feelings in public while threatening to kill each other in private. Now, legendary rock journalist Mick Wall delivers definitive insight into America's best-selling band of all time, a band that has sold more records than Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones combined, exploring their meteoric rise to fame and the hedonistic days of the 70s music scene in LA, when American music was taking over the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fighter pilots experience the fastest acceleration on earth. However, during training, the expression, “that pilot is all thrust and no vector,” can be heard. It describes a pilot who is going nowhere fast. That concept holds true in our lives and especially in business. We live in an age of instant information, where everything moves at the speed of light. Do you ever feel that you are going fast but getting nowhere? Accelerator Leaders learn how to focus and act so that their acceleration results in real impact. Discover how to be an Accelerator Leader to accelerate yourself, those around you and your organization. Book Review 1: "Alvin Rohrs is a remarkable leader. He "Accelerated" the growth of a small regional non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring students to improve the world through entrepreneurial action, Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE), to a place where it has become the largest organization of it's kind in the world, now known as Enactus, leveraging the resources of over 500 corporate partners, in 36 countries, engaged with over 1,700 colleges and universities, nearly 70,000 students, and impacting over a million people a year. Without Alvin at the helm of the ship, this extraordinary story of growth and contribution is impossible to imagine. Leveraging his extraordinary knowledge and experiences, Alvin is a gifted and inspiring speaker about everything from leadership, to accelerating organization and personal growth, to leading a meaningful and fulfilling everyday life. His wit, wisdom, and storytelling are second to none. I highly recommend him as a speaker extraordinaire." -- Douglas R. Conant, Former Chairman SIFE/Enactus Founder and CEO Conant Leadership; Retired CEO Campbell Soup Company; Former Chairman Avon Products Book Review 2: "Not only is Alvin Rohrs one of the most moving and powerful speakers I know he is also a great coach on what it means to be a leader and really move an organization towards success. He quickly grasps challenges and he understands people. He is perceptive and knows how to organize and motivate people to solve problems." -- Matt Blunt, 54th Governor of Missouri Book Review 3: "[His] stories themselves and [his] story telling style make this [book] a joy to read." -- Doug McMillon, CEO of Walmart
