Pink Passion: A ruling passion motivates, pushes, stretches, encourages, inspires and in some instances a ruling passion might even challenge you to reach your full potential. Make no mistake about it, a ruling passion is much different from a goal. In general, a goal is a set deadline or time frame estabish by the goal setter to complete and accomplish a particular task. Normally, goal setters classify goals into categories, short term and long term. For a tantamount of consumers and shoppers, once a goal is set it stays at the center of attention until the goal is accomplished. Totally different from a goal___putatively, a passion, so to speak, is something that you love to do more than anything else that you do daily. Straight forwardly speaking, when you have a passion it consumes your every thought, it pretty much paints the picture of how you view, see, and live life. A strong feeling, longing, or desire;each of us as consumers and shoppers have different passions__ostensibly, even with the various passions available as choices, some consumers and shoppers have not found their ruling passion, understandably, it could take years before a consumer or shopper stumbles upon their ruling passion. At any rate that you find your passion, a passion or a ruling passion could be just about anything that you love and enjoy to do at home, away from the job, on vacation and during holidays. From shopping to blogging to cooking to singing to acting to dancing, it's what you love to do the most, it's what motivates, pushes, stretches, encourages, inspires, and challenges you, it's your ruling passion. In previous years, I have had a passion to try and do many things. While in college, I rediscovered my passion for the English language and writing. Within the past seven years, I developed a passion for shopping and blogging. 2009, I developed a passion for pink. Along with my passion for pink, I believe my ruling passion is to be an award winning editor and writer. Veritably, all passions begin with you_if you have found your ruling passion stick with it, share it, and create a niche for your passion. And for the percentage of you (consumers and shoppers) who you havent found your ruling passion, start_right now and start doing what you love and enjoy, it's not too late.

A midsummer morning, Brooklyn, 1955. Oscar Carnovsky, a respectable (yet hardly distinguished) middle-aged man, leaves for work in the usual fashion: takes his share of the morning paper, kisses his wife goodbye, and waves back as he turns the corner of Linden Boulevard. He has done it precisely this way five thousand times. This particular morning, however, he waves from the corner and is not seen again, nor is he heard from, for years. Decades later (at Oscar’s funeral) his daybooks come to light—a record of the missing years and of his life as The Invisible Mensch. This unremarkable man will soon become an unforgettable character as you accompany him on his flight through the 1950s in a highly original second novel from Larry Duberstein, whose earlier work, The Marriage Hearse, was hailed by the critics.

The unknown book is formulated on fictional events that can or may have taken place in maybe your life or someone close to you. Not in as much as an actual event that has taken place in the reality of this life but in a reality of a life that we have no awareness of. But we create our own realities in our own minds based off what we choose to be, real and unreal. A lot of these choices that we make are based off fear, doubt, and a nonexistent understanding, which allows our narcissism to peak overwhelmingly, thereby leaving us with a naked, skeletonized truth of who we really are, therefore leading us into the place in which I like to call the Unknown.

Just a few miles outside of Albuquerque New Mexico in a remote valley something has gone horribly wrong. To their eternal regret some people have mistaken the screams echoing in the hills as coyotes singing to the moon. When Josey drives his truck down into the valley he quickly learns the disturbing truth. It's not coyotes howling. It's men or what used to be men. Josey discovers that the valley is home to the depraved, the noble, the damned, the innocent, the beautiful, and of course the walking dead. When the least dangerous thing you encounter is an angry rattlesnake you know you've made a wrong turn at Albuquerque. Nestled in a remote valley, the residents of The Albuquerque Springs Trailer Park have lived out there lives nearly forgotten by the rest of the world. The trailer park is home to dozens of illegal immigrants, a hermit who has turned his back on society, a veteran of World War 2, a grumpy old woman, a family of Meth cookers known to local police officials as the Redneck Gourmets, and a beautiful young woman, are just a few. Life was peaceful and quiet (actually quite boring) until a deadly industrial accident killed Juan, one of the illegal immigrants. His friends and neighbors promised to dispose of the victim's body. Unfortunately, he came back and disposed of them- one mouthwatering bite at a time.

Ellie Alexander's Bake, Borrow, and Steal, the most delicious installment yet in the Bakeshop Series set in Ashland, Oregon! As the autumnal hues of November fall over the Shakespearean hamlet of Ashland, Oregon, Jules and her team at Torte are working on their biggest event ever. They’ve been invited to create chocolate showpieces for the gala opening of a new exhibit, Shakespeare’s Lost Pages at SOMA. The museum, located on the campus of Southern Oregon University, is getting ready to unveil the Bard’s lost manuscript, Double Falsehood, which is being touted as the greatest artistic discovery of modern times. In addition to molding luscious, silky chocolate into magnificent structures, Torte will be serving an authentic Elizabethan feast straight from the pages of a sixteenth century cookbook featuring Lardy cakes, Frangipane tarts, and jellies with chestnut cream. Jules has underestimated the amount of work required to pull off such a culinary feat. She finds herself in the strange position of feeling frazzled and stressed as the day of the gala approaches. However, her team rallies around her and once the massive works of chocolate art are safely installed at the museum, she can finally let out a sigh of relief and revel in the excitement of the grand celebration. But her relief is short-lived. Right before the unveiling, news quickly begins to spread that Shakespeare’s lost manuscript is missing. Not only that, but the security guard tasked with keeping the priceless artifact safe has been killed. Is this a case of a heist gone terribly wrong? Or could it be that a killer is lurking in the museum archives?
