Jackpots and Jealousies in Las Vegas by A. R. Winters Pdf

A Cupcakes-And-Crime Caper Roger Owen's business isn't doing well, and when he takes his wife and son to glitzy, glamourous Las Vegas for some quality family vacation time, he brings along a surprising +1: his mistress! "Winters will have you giggling into your book!"Life seems to pick up for Roger when he wins a huge jackpot... until someone gleefully kills him on the casino floor.Caught in the hot seat as suspect number one, Roger's wife Wendy hires Tiffany and Ian to clear her name and to solve the mystery of who really killed Roger Owen--even though it may very well be black widow Wendy! Or was it his mistress, Mona, come to exact revenge for playing second fiddle so many years? Was it his son, Aaron, tired of his dad's philandering and ready to inherit those big bucks? Could it have been Roger's business partner, eager to take over the company and purge it of potential scandals? Fingers fly in every direction with blame and accusation, and it's up to Tiffany and Ian--with some assistance from little Snowflake and Nanna, of course--to unravel the tangled webs and shed some light on the truth.Jackpots And Jealousies in Las Vegas is the fourteenth book in The Tiffany Black in Las Vegas Mystery Series. It can be read as a standalone, but the Tiffany Black books are best enjoyed when read in series order. This is a cozy mystery featuring a strong female protagonist, some unusual friends and family, and a mystery that needs solving! It has no graphic gore, bad language, or sex. Praise for A.R. Winters: "You fall in love with Tiffany Black from the start, and the mystery starts immediately" - Melissa Greenberg, Amazon.com Top 500 Reviewer"The perfect balance of being lighthearted, but still a serious page-turning mystery." - Jaycie D, Amazon.com "A great mystery wrapped in humor and surprises." - Amazon Customer

The Actor's Mindset by Craig Archibald Pdf

The Actor's Mindset: Acting as a Craft, Discipline, and Businessuniquely prepares actors to live a full, successful life as a performing artist. While most acting books focus on either the art or the business of entertainment, Archibald looks at the entire picture of what it means to be an actor, focusing on the foundations of both the artist and the entrepreneur to guarantee a complete and fully functioning approach to a career. The Actor's Mindset is divided into three distinct parts: "The Craft," "The Discipline," and "The Business." Archibald's unique experience as both an actor and a coach gives him an unparalleled perspective on the current industry landscape. While classic method texts still circulate, and there are actors who have written books that address craft, none have Archibald's depth of knowledge and experience in coaching, nor approach the art from a professional standpoint instead of solely a teaching one. The success of Craig's approach is exemplified by the success of his clients, a roster that includes Constance Wu, John Slattery, and two-time Academy Award Nominee Dan Futterman.

Jealousy by Marsha Jenkins-Sanders Pdf

How much should beauty determine a person’s worth in society, and how far will one woman go to gain approval? Rochelle Jackson is a woman born without, as she calls it, the “pretty gene.” Without makeup, she believes she more closely resembles a man, and she hasn’t revealed to anyone that she prefers dating women—though she isn’t noticed by anyone of any gender. This mix of repressing volatile emotions and the simmering resentment bred by years of rejection becomes the destructive force behind her scheme to dethrone Dakota North, Rochelle’s beautiful cousin and a prima donna in her own right. Rochelle is ready to emerge, for the first time, from Dakota’s shadow. When Rochelle lets loose with her vicious plan, it becomes an all-out war that will leave both parties changed forever. In the compelling tradition of E. Lynn Harris, Jealousy has an emotionally wrenching plot and characters dealing with tough issues. Jenkins-Sanders skillfully explores the emotional issues of cravings approval, power, and validation, which is intertwined with struggles of bisexuality and homosexuality. Jenkins-Sanders’s powerful novel questions our values and provides a fresh perspective on the fight for power and identity in a world full of negative self-image.

The Killing Star by Charles Pellegrino,George Zebrowski Pdf

A near-future thriller of a devastating alien invasion from the paleontologist who inspired Jurassic Park and the award-winning science fiction author. There were always those who disagreed with broadcasting signals into the deepest reaches of outer space, because our mere existence could be taken as a threat. They were right to be concerned . . . In the spring of 2076, just days short of America’s tricentennial celebrations, every inhabited surface in the solar system gets wiped out by a catastrophic storm of relativistic bombs, flaming swords that pierced the sky. The only two survivors left on Earth exist in a submersible that had been exploring the Titanic’s final resting place on the bottom of the North Atlantic. In space, only the settlers in small, asteroid-based colonies have gone unnoticed by the aliens—for now. But any sign of life, any call for help, might bring the Intruders straight to them. These far-flung survivors are now on their own, stalked by a ruthless, faceless enemy straight out of the nightmares of humanity’s greatest minds—those lone voices whose warnings went ignored. “[A] novel of such conceptual ferocity and scientific plausibility that it amounts to a reinvention of that old Wellsian staple, [alien invasion].” —The New York Times Book Review “Relentless . . . The ultimate disaster novel . . . A thought-experiment and warning.” —The Denver Post “A whirlwind of ideas . . . full of action and danger . . . Pellegrino and Zebrowski are working territory not too far removed from Arthur C. Clarke’s, and anywhere Clarke is popular, this book should be, too.” —Booklist

No Fat Chicks by CL Rowell Pdf

Life isn't strictly black and white, and those shades of gray in the middle can trip you up, throw you a curve ball and change your whole outlook. Brandon...my Achilles heel all through school, from kindergarten through my senior year. He pulled my hair, tripped me in the halls, gave me a horrible nickname that makes me cringe even now, and generally made my life hell. When I stumble upon an antique shop I've never seen before, I'm presented with the opportunity of a lifetime...PAYBACK. I'm given the chance to make him worship me, to make him do anything I ask, to make him debase himself in front of everyone who cheered him on back in the day. But...can I do it? Can I take my revenge and make his life as hellish as he made mine? Or will I discover that things aren't always what they seem from the outside looking in? Hi, I’m Zoe and this is my story. This novella was previously released as a short story with the same title. It’s been cleaned up, polished, improved, expanded and released under a different pen name. 17+ due to mature language and situations. #soulmates #enemiestolovers #fatedlove

Qualitative Research in Gambling by Rebecca Cassidy,Andrea Pisac,Claire Loussouarn Pdf

The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.tandfebooks.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 3.0 license. Gambling is both a multi-billion-dollar international industry and a ubiquitous social and cultural phenomenon. It is also undergoing significant change, with new products and technologies, regulatory models, changing public attitudes and the sheer scale of the gambling enterprise necessitating innovative and mixed methodologies that are flexible, responsive and ‘agile’. This book seeks to demonstrate that researchers should look beyond the existing disciplinary territory and the dominant paradigm of ‘problem gambling’ in order to follow those changes across territorial, political, technical, regulatory and conceptual boundaries. The book draws on cutting-edge qualitative work in disciplines including geography, organisational studies, sociology, East Asian studies and anthropology to explore the production and consumption of risk, risky places, risk technologies, the gambling industry and connections between gambling and other kinds of speculation such as financial derivatives. In doing so it addresses some of the most important issues in contemporary social science, including: the challenges of studying deterritorialised social phenomena; globalising technologies and local markets; regulation as it operates across local, regional and international scales; and the rise of games, virtual worlds and social media.
