The first two strikes induce extreme pain. The third strike is death. As they struggle to survive without turning on each other, they have no idea that their actions and choices could doom humanity. Or save it.

It is not hard to become a used car dealer even if you are on a tight budget. As far as the income potential is concern, it is higher than most other side gigs you will find. Just imagine this, you buy a 6 years old Toyota Camry with 87K miles for $4,500, you bring it home, clean it up, fix few minor scratches, wash it wax it, then put it up for sale on Craigslist for $7100. In the first three days you get a few calls, and after 4 test drives, you sell it for $6,600.

Armand, Lich Lord of the Necropolis, is bored. So very... very bored. He's guarded the greatest dungeon in the world against all comers, but the issue is, no one is coming anymore. No adventurers have fought his reanimated dragon. No heroes have fallen into the spike pits. No one's come to admire the menacing décor of skulls and warnings written in blood on the walls. Nothing! So what's a last boss to do when no one's good enough to challenge his dungeon? Why, build a party himself of course!

With a looming battle within, Jonathon must get control and escape from his own team before they execute him. Will a life in exile be his only choice? Or worse?

When Travis announces his surprise engagement over Thanksgiving dinner, Rod decides he's done waiting for the impossible. He packs his belongings and heads for Skagit and a new life.

Sixteen-year-old Hamilton Dinger leads a charmed life. He's got the grades for the top of the class, the abilities of a star athlete and Tetris player, and the charisma to get away with anything. Everything seems to be going along perfectly, including his plans to ask out Gwen Kessler, as he enters into tenth grade at Apollo Central High School.

Short stories from author Marion Tucker.

As if Hamilton Dinger needs any more frustration at the moment. Not only has he accepted his duty as a Starlight defender, he's got swim meets to prepare for, his little brother to babysit, and an annoying new girl in his class. Plus he's got his 'mentor' dragon, Elysian, on his back every chance he gets, and his 'co-defender,' Starry Knight, urging him to quit the superhero business after every battle.

There is nothing like a birthday to give Hamilton Dinger something to look forward to in his busy life. With his new job as a part-time intern at the Mayor's office, being a full-time high school student and Starlight Warrior has its challenges. The arrival of SWORD, the growing demonic activity in Apollo City, and the increasingly negative media attention has sparked ongoing unrest among the city and its inhabitants.

With the arrival of 11th grade, Hamilton Dinger has no shortage of activities to pursue. With his job at the mayor's office, schoolwork, and fighting off evil, he has no time to worry about Starry Knight's recent betrayal and his relentless fixation with her.

Despite the decrease in crime and attacks, Hamilton knows it is only a matter of time before the remaining Sinisters and their mysterious new leader cause more trouble for him. When Alora comes under attack, Hamilton and his team, with help from his new friend, Mary, set off with St. Brendan the Navigator to restore the flow of time. But it is only after they work to save Time do they realize how little of it they have left.

The end is approaching for Hamilton Dinger and his friends. As the forces of darkness in Apollo City gain power, Hamilton finds himself on trial as the media, the law, and even his friends seem to have turned on him. The souls of the city, and the world, are on the line as the long-fought war against Alkuzor, Draco, and the Seven Deadly Sinisters comes to a crux with SWORD, Wingdinger, and the forces of Adonaias.

It has been many years since that day, the day Hamilton Dinger wishes to forget, along with the ache in his heart. But his desire to let go of the past is usurped when the future comes barreling into his apartment in the form of two young Starlight defenders, Lucas and Lyra, calling for a new mission for the retired Wingdinger. More than reluctantly, Hamilton heads home to Apollo City as Dante Salyards, now a rogue agent from SWORD, seeks his help in dismantling a new administration of evil in Apollo City.

It's important to stay ahead of the herd and buy resources when no one notices or cares about them. When a sector has been in a prolonged bear market people forget about it. When those sectors hit rock bottom and are ready to reverse, they launch like rocket ships. After listening to Marijuana Today Vanadium & Uranium Tomorrow, your question is not if they will go way up but when will they go way up and how high will they go. I believe we're about to witness an explosive and violent move to the upside in certain resource companies.

How to extract, use, and heal with cannabis medicine. I first learned about the medicinal benefits of marijuana through a Dutch friend who was born and raised in the Netherlands where marijuana has been legal for many years now. It was 1994 when I first got interested in learning more about the healing effects of marijuana, but not much data was available back then, as the Internet was just in its infancy at that time. As a self-proclaimed naturopathic healer, my interest just grew over time.

Most people understand quality relationships are not completely about sex, but sex does play a large role in determining the strength of the connection to your lover. Many people focus on being a good husband or wife by being reliable, caring, and helping provide for each other to name a few, but sadly, in many relationships, the sexual aspect goes neglected, and is the cause of many unsatisfied marriages, breakups, and divorces.

Hamilton Dinger is not having a good summer. Since his battle with Orpheus and Starry Knight, he has felt distracted. Not with important things, or anything, really. Just work and video games and sleeping in during the summer. When Elysian forces him out of the house, Hamilton heads out for Rachel's, only to find out it is closed for her wedding. Hamilton is relieved, and then concerned, as a new demon gets ready to attack the ceremony. Can he save Rachel's big day, without letting his anger toward Starry Knight get in the way?

Being with Sebastian is a scandal waiting to happen. Being without him isn't an option. Several years ago, Chase's dad married Seb's mom. It was a short marriage with a disastrous end, but Chase and Seb remained good friends - or so the world thinks. The truth is a bit more sordid.
