Book Description
If lucky enough to have children of my own one day, my goal was to be the father to them that I never had growing up - to be the very best father I could be. Directionless and lacking confidence, that hope took me longer to realize than most. Years spent feeling lonely and full of sorrow delayed me from realizing my dreams... until I finally took control of my direction as I entered my forties. This happened to be just months before I met the person, my soulmate, who would make my dream of becoming a father come true. Though the journey of expanding our family took us eight long years, it all worked out eventually, and our twin boys Liam and Noah were born. Being a father is the greatest joy I have ever experienced, and I will never take it for granted. This book is comprised of a series of letters to Liam and Noah, in which I share some of my many life experiences (some good, and some not so good), how I have handled things, and what I could have done better. My hope is that by being open and honest with my sons they can learn from my mistakes, and more easily achieve their own goals in life. I hope you, too, can take something away from the advice I share, and that you are inspired to pass along some wisdom from your own experiences to your loved ones.

Book Description
It has become common for people to look back and write letters to their younger selves based on their life experiences. Well, instead of writing a letter to his teenage self, this 55-year old dad, married at 42 and a first-time father at 50, created a book of letters to his four-year old twin boys describing his life experiences. My life has had a series of ups and downs, many of the downs self-inflicted but many of the ups resulting from learning and growing from my mistakes. Along the journey that featured loneliness and sadness for the majority of my first three decades of life, I met the person affectionately known as "Mama" when I was 40 just months after I decided to finally change my outlook on the world and change the behaviors the had held me back from fulfilling my potential both personally and professionally. Our journey to becoming parents took us down a whole new path, one of dealing with years of fertility issues and set the bar high on the topics of determination, perseverance, education and the importance of never, ever, giving up. I set out to create a project that taps into the most common aspects of life in our society and how my experiences related to everyday circumstances in hopes that if Liam and Noah are ever in a similar situation, they have either a good lesson to learn from their Daddy's successes or can gain knowledge from one of my failures.

A thrilling new book in the wildly popular series from the author of Hidden, legendary #1 New York Times bestseller Fern Michaels! The Sisterhood is reuniting to investigate The Haven, a suspicious spiritual organization that’s more dangerous cult than caring commune… Maggie Spritzer’s nose for a story doesn’t just make her a top-notch newspaper editor, it also tells her when to go the extra mile for a friend. When she gets a strange message from her journalism pal, Gabby Richardson, Maggie knows her services are needed. Gabby has become involved with The Haven, a commune that promises to guide its members toward a more spiritually fulfilling life. But Gabby’s enthusiasm has turned to distrust ever since she was refused permission to leave the compound to visit her sick mother. Maggie wants to learn more about The Haven, and the Sisterhood is eager to help. It turns out The Haven’s founders are the sons of a disgraced Chicago businessman in prison for running a Ponzi scheme. They also have connections to a Miami billionaire with dubious sidelines. Soon, the Sisterhood gang embark on a search—and uncover a web of crime that runs deeper and higher than they ever imagined. And they’ll need all their special skills to bring it down… Praise for Fern Michaels “Michaels’s highly developed skills as a storyteller are evident in the affable characters [and] suspenseful plot.” —Publishers Weekly on Deep Harbor
