Book Description
People say a picture can paint a thousand words yet a painting still caused her thousands of tears until she met him. Love is often associated with romance yet the strongest love prevails that. Laurence Summers, better known as Lauren, thought all the money in the world could buy her the love of others as she blamed her father for naming her Laurence. This is something that she believed made her a social outcast, a fool and bullied wherever she went. But money fixed that for her or so she thought. Stephan Larr, not accepted by his family, believed that he needed a change in identity for those around him to love him. Both Lauren and Stephan didn’t fully understand the idea of love and still don’t. They didn’t understand that you need some sort of love in life to be fulfilled until a wizard brought them to a painted world. A painted world in which they were both separated in empty canvases until four words brought them together in mesmerizing canvases full of beauty and creativity. Join Lauren and Stephan on a journey of self-discovery and love, just not the love you may envision.

Book Description
Paint Me Beautiful, a New Adult/Contemporary Romance Novel Recommended for Ages 18 and Up. The second and final book, "Color Me Pretty" is available now! From the Bestselling Author of the Never say Never Trilogy (Tasting Never, Finding Never, & Keeping Never) “I'm dying to be beautiful.” My story isn't unique. You've heard it before. I'm just a girl who doesn't eat as much as she should. See, I have goals, big ones, and nobody is going to stop me, not even a boy named Emmett. He has good intentions and he's hot as hell, but he doesn't understand what it's like to want something so bad that you'll do anything for it. I'm going to become a model, even if it kills me. Dream big or go home, that's what they always say, right? Also Available From CM Stunich -Broken Pasts (Contemporary Adult Romance) -She Lies Twisted (Young Adult Paranormal Romance) -Hell Inc. (Comedic Paranormal Romance) -The House of Gray and Graves (Urban Fantasy) -Tasting Never (New Adult/Contemporary Romance) PAINT ME BEAUTIFUL EXCERPT: Emmett looks up at me, and the moonlight catches on his brown eyes, making them shimmer with color and life. I think I could get a crush on this guy pretty easily. If I had time for crushes, I would welcome Mr. Sinclair with open arms. As things stand, this could be our first and last date. I decide that if it is, at the very least I should at least let myself taste those lips. They're puffy and pink and far too nice to be on a man's face. Admittedly, I'm a little jealous. I scoot forward and lean over, putting my hands on either side of Emmett's knees, dragging my breasts against his jeans as I press my face close and let my eyelids flicker shut. As if on cue, he moves into me, tangling his hand in my hair, pressing hot heat to my cold lips, tasting me with long teasing strokes of tongue that cut through my cold shivers and replace them with sudden contractions of my muscles as my body cries out hungrily, desperate for another bite. I hold back, denying it with sheer strength of will. Just as I deny myself calories for fear of the repercussions, I will deny myself Emmett Sinclair and whatever it is that he's offering. We just met today, and he's making me think weird things, putting strange thoughts in my head. I don't know how or why, but he sees that I need help, and he's willing to give it. I touch the back of Emmett's neck, run my fingers up into his shaggy hair and pull his hat away so I can tease and stroke and explore. Our kiss lasts minutes, stretches out long and warm, twists like taffy and solidifies into this little nugget of something. If I thought I was going to be able to escape Emmett after one date, I was wrong. I want … no, need more, and like food to my hungry body, I can only resist so long before it kills me.

Book Description
A guide to restoring the successful models used by ancient cultures the world over to raise adolescent boys • Explains the negative effects of Western youth culture and how it can be transformed • Offers instructions for integrating basic rites of passage into modern family life and youth programs For tens of thousands of years all across the globe, societies have been coping with raising adolescents. Why is it then that native cultures never had the need for juvenile halls, residential treatment centers, mood-altering drugs, or boot camps? How did they avoid the high incidence of teen violence America is experiencing, and how did they prevent their youth from relying on drugs and alcohol, the use of which has become so prevalent in Western society? In From Boys to Men, Bret Stephenson shows readers that older cultures didn’t magically avoid adolescence; instead they developed successful rituals and rites of passage for sculpting teen boys into healthy young men. From Aleutian Eskimos to Polynesian Islanders, from tribal Africans to Australian Aborigines, each culture found archetypal ways to initiate their boys into the adult community. Stephenson explains the basics of rites of passage and offers insight into how to reintroduce these successful practices and traditional understandings into modern family life and programs for youth. He discusses the damaging effects of our youth culture and the negative teen products that are fueled by corporate America and reveals how we can counteract these negative forces by using meaningful rites of passage to create a society with happy and healthy adolescent boys.
