Ronald Lewis Weaver, or Ron as we have called him for decades, is the senior producer for the mega hit series “The Bold and the Beautiful.” After over two decades of being around creative forces at the show, the man who also was part of the initial production of “Sesame Street” broke the mold of monotony and wrote one of the most amazing novels in history. “Soul Mate” is a story that many have fallen in love with or in lust with. Betty White recently said, “Not since ‘Bridges of Madison County’ have I been so involved in someone else’s very private life. For an even more impossible forbidden love you must read this book. You won’t put it down.”

The story was one that being a prude myself, I was not sure I’d like. An English teacher in a Beverly Hills High School, Claudia de la Rosa, has a bright new beginning planned ahead until she meets one of her new students: Lance Van Arden, an 18-year-old gifted student whose destiny collides with that of his older teacher. De la Rosa begins mentoring Van Arden, and soon a love affair ensues. This book moves as fast as the ever exciting “The Bold and the Beautiful.” Ron being a hidden hero over at Bell-Phillip Television Productions surprised everyone who read this tome. Absolutely no one expected this type of story to come from such a business-minded fellow. The characters who are involved with both the teacher and student began to suspect things are happening. However, what I did not expect or suspect, was that I’d be enthralled and fascinated by this story. And I’m not alone. Actress Katherine Kelly Lang said, “Before I read ‘Soul Mate,’ if you’d told me I’d be rooting for a relationship between a teacher and student, I’d have said, you are crazy! But these are great characters and a great story.”

My friend and “As the World Turns” costar Lesli Kay, who also portrays Felicia Forrester on “The Bold and the Beautiful," said recently, “I’ve read ‘Soul Mate’ five times. That should tell you something. It’s been a mind-blowing experience every time, and [it] always leaves me wanting more. Can’t wait to see the movie!” I wholeheartedly concur with Kay, and there are certainly roles for both of us in this page turner when it hit’s the big screen. What is most undeniable about “Soul Mate,” is how you never want to put the book down until you’ve read it through. Initially I was most fascinated by chapter 10 where Lance seems to jump off the page at the reader, then I fell in love with chapter six as Claudia arrived at the school. Now I can’t pick a favorite chapter, but I’ve now memorized the book from cover to cover.

Weaver has certainly etched out a new career as a novelist for himself. Surely he’s creative, we all knew that. However, to bring forth to his readers such a rich, diverse and exciting cast of characters in such an illicit and taboo relationship makes this book one of the most exciting I’ve ever read and surely a candidate to become a literary classic. I found myself daydreaming of all the exciting actors to play the lovers while reading it. Could it be Julia Roberts and Robert Pattinson, or Sandra Bullock and Usher? Or closer to home for the author, his “B&B” superstars Lesli Kay and Kyle Lowder or Ashley Jones and Zack Conroy? Whatever Ron decides, here’s hoping that there is a sequel to this enigmatic, exciting and pulse-pounding novel. Susan Flannery, the multi-Emmy winning and Golden Globe-winning actress said, “This is subject matter reflected in today’s headlines. It’s important, and should be taken seriously. Perfectly delightful.”

DAS MEDALLION: "The Locket" is a well-told, well-paced thriller of treachery and remembrance harking back to the grim final years of World War II Germany....Like good mysteries, this one blossoms petal by petal, while delivering a demur love story in the midst of sinister circumstances. - Anna Gilmore, Windjammer Books

I sat in the front seat wishing I could tell my son how proud of him I was—that despite his fruitless efforts at securing a date, he chose to go to the prom alone. I wanted him to know how brave he was, that most kids lack the self-confidence he has, and that the girl with whom he had been dancing was only one of many girls who might be “the one.” But I knew this wouldn’t salve his wounded seventeen-year-old heart.

It is not easy being a parent, being a single parent, being a woman raising a teenage boy, and raising a teenage boy with special needs. I am his mother and nothing I could say would be right. Long ago he reminded me: Love is complicated.

I read the wedding announcements with the same commitment some people read the obituaries. I am searching for inspiration. I see past the poses and the smiles; I see the challenges of cultural diversity, same sex unions, and older women marrying younger men. In these strangers’ nuptial snippets lie their challenges, frailties, and faults. I see what they overcame to get there. The ten-year anniversary of my divorce is coming up. I feel excommunicated at times from anything marital, in some ways from anything mainstream. In the same way Daniel seeks the love of his life, I thought I would have been remarried by now.

After years of searching the nuptial pages, one photo is missing—the photo of the couple with something that obviously, outwardly identifies them as being challenged, different, or complex. If ever I find it, I will cut it out and put it in my drawer to remind me that my son will find his intended, the one who will love him long after I’m gone. I am looking for a guarantee, for both of us, because for different reasons, I think I, too, must be complex. I want the promise fulfilled that “For every pot there is a cover.”

When I took my wedding vows, I was sure I would keep them. But things happen—life changes us and sometimes makes it impossible for us to keep our promises.

That first year after my divorce, I cried a lot. I think Daniel cried, too, but we never talked about it. I wondered if he would forgive my selfish quest for fulfillment—a quest I could hardly articulate to myself, let alone to an eight-year-old challenged with his own issues and divorce. In my weakest moments I wondered if I made a bad mistake, but in my stronger moments I trusted that my inner navigational system hadn’t malfunctioned. I had better things in mind for both of us. I won’t lie. A year into being alone, I longed for romantic nights. I longed to be told how I was beautiful, sexy, wanted, and needed. Sometimes, I felt like I was fleeing, manic like a refugee. Other times, I was well-stocked, centered, searching for a love I had yet to find. I knew I wasn’t short on commitment, or loyalty, or dedication; I had to keep my faith in love, but I had to keep up with my life, too. I had to keep Daniel on track. Every parent-teacher meeting, every academic triumph, every organizational coup, every wave of the mascara wand, every new lipstick, every pair of shoes, and every trip to the gym were all part of the heroic regimen for “super single mom”—balancing, child, work, and self. My only prayer was that my complex son would somehow come out okay from all this and learn his own brand of independence.

Then the day came when I started crying. I am not sure how long Daniel stood by the doorway watching.

His voice surprised me, “What’s wrong?”

“I am sad.” I wasn’t sure he had ever seen me cry.

“Why?”

“I am tired of being alone.”

“You have me.”

“Yes honey, I have you. Thank God, I have you.”

“If you feel alone, maybe you should have some dates.”

I sniffled.

Maybe he was right. So, I went out on dates. Lots of dates. Sometimes I was so disappointed I was sure I would spend the rest of my life alone but I could never ever let my son know I felt this way.

One day when Daniel was fifteen, he and I were deep in conversation about a girl who was showing him no interest.

“I am a kind, generous, good-hearted person. I am so nice. Why is it that she does not see this in me? What could she possibly want?”

I wish I knew.

“I must be ugly,” he said.

“No, you are not ugly, and when you are older, you will meet the right girl and she will see the beauty of your soul,” I offered.

“I think you should get married again, Mom.” He was changing the subject.

“Why do you think that?”

“Because it would make me happy.”

I wasn’t so sure. A lot of time had gone by.

And so, soon after that conversation, I hired an executive matchmaking firm—which failed to produce even a single appropriate prospect. At forty-eight, I had not sat in a bar alone for twenty years, and wasn’t deluding myself into thinking that was how I was going to meet the man of my dreams either.

One night, after a terrible ice storm caused our living room window to come crashing in, I needed a drink. When the bartender came over, I looked into his eyes, and thought, very handsome.

I sat there drinking slowly, pretending to watch the baseball game. Really, I watched my bartender, whose name I learned was Jim. When I asked to borrow the reading glasses that hung from his shirt, I wondered if we had anything in common. I was fishing for clues about how I could justify making small talk with a bartender.

By my second drink and a salad, I had learned that bartending was his weekend gig and that during the week he worked in sales and had two children to whom he seemed committed. The more liquor I consumed, the commonalities mounted, or maybe I just hoped they were. We shared a strong work ethic and devotion to our children. Neither of us wore rings on our left hands. I am, however, wise enough to know it meant nothing. There were plenty of single women who came and went from a place like this, and a handsome bartender would have to know how to keep the ladies coming back. I shocked myself that I had given it any thought.

Neighborhood people came and went. I never left my perch. After a rotation of light-weight conversations, including a stalker whom I had fantasized my bartender would punch in the face, and a long-winded one-sided conversation with a nice guy who knew a lot about movies, Jim offered to buy me a drink.

“If I drink one more, someone has to walk me home.”

“Okay, how ‘bout I buy you that drink and I walk you home?” he offered.

Outside, I felt myself swaying and appreciated that he steadied me. We stopped a few feet from my door. I wanted to show him the view from my roof, and without warning, I took him by the hand and let him into the building. He willingly followed. Once we were outside on the roof, he took me in his arms, and began kissing me. I don’t know how long we were there. It was the quietest I had been all night. And then, afterwards, in the awkward silence, he asked me if he could take me out the following week. He said he would call over the weekend.

The next morning, all I could think was, “you stupid fool, you kissed a bartender and he works nearby—and you gave him your number. You have lost your mind.”

Three days later, there were a dozen roses and a note from him on my dining room table. “I would have called Sunday, but at 2:00 a.m., without my reading glasses, I was definitely challenged. Your number never made it into my phone. I feel a little stupid, so please accept my apology.” His number was on the bottom. I liked his choice of the word “challenged.”

A good friend of mine said, “Doors open, doors close…” It never dawned on me until later that both of us could have bolted. A lost phone number was an automatic out. I read his note three times before I called. I thought about the reading glasses I had borrowed and the kiss. Common ground.

When I came down to the lobby for our first date, his smile was so warm and sweet, I thought I’d trip. When he took me by the hand I thought, “I could hold another man’s hand, and it will never feel this way.”

There is a certain comfort in the way we finish each other’s sentences, or come to a full stop at exactly the same second to observe a pink sky or a moon over the East River. If you see us walking hand-in-hand, stopping to kiss each other, you might wonder how long we have been together, a lifetime or a minute. Sometimes it feels like both.

Recently Daniel, now 18 and a half, was on a teen tour. He called early one morning. I picked up the phone to hear his choking voice. He could not get the words out. I am not sure how I knew, but I had a feeling it had something to do with Ilana, his friend from the trip—the young woman he had told me about and then sent me a text message of her photo. I had a feeling that his announcement two days earlier of their being “girlfriend and boyfriend” might have been pre-mature. I had a feeling that they were not destined for the commitment he hoped for. But despite the sobbing, I know my son, and I knew that while the pain of his broken heart was mine to share, his broken heart would be his to

recover…When he called back a few hours later, I said, “I am sorry sweetheart.”

“I know,” he said, “That was really hard.”

“I know darling, but each young woman you meet, is meant to be there for either a season, a reason, a lifetime or a lesson… and mostly, they will just get you closer to the one you are meant to be with…”

“Gotta go, mom.” He was right, the words meant nothing.

Each Sunday, for a long time, I would read the wedding announcements in The New York Times, hoping Daniel and I both make it to those pages. My photo would announce to the world my triumph over the complexities of my life and loves. But in the picture of my special son, a young man for whom love triumphs over all, I will one day see he has found the one with whom he was destined to live out his days, the woman he is to love and honor and cherish. I will know he has found the one who will love him long after I am gone. In Daniel’s wedding photo, I will know it is true, “For every pot there is a cover.”

Written by Robyn Stecher, author of There's Something About Daniel.

Astrid Llewelyn grew up being afraid of unicorns because of her crazy mother’s rantings of venomous, fanged, and violent unicorns that existed in real life. As a teenager, Astrid dismisses her mother’s stories as just a weird obsession and tries to lead a normal life. Her normal life comes crashing down when a small unicorn gores her boyfriend, Brandt. Unicorns are re-emerging everywhere and attacking innocent bystanders. Astrid’s whole life is taken away and she has to live up to her heritage as a unicorn hunter. Her mother sends her to Italy to train and hone her skills to have a better chance against the new wave of unicorns. Astrid has no choice but to go, since she’s a minor, but she doesn’t know if she wants to do this with her life or even if the unicorns should be forced into extinction. Can she even afford to think about these things when she and a handful of inexperienced girls are being constantly attacked by deadly unicorns?

When I first heard about a book about killer unicorns, I literally laughed out loud. It just seemed really silly and cheesy to me. Based on the summary on the flap, it looked like my initial description wasn’t too off the mark because it seemed that Astrid was an empty-headed valley girl who cared more about going to the prom than about her boyfriend who was just seriously injured by a wild animal. Needless to say, I wasn’t expecting much when I started Rampant. I was completely wrong and these things are really the only things I didn’t like about the book, none of which is about the actual story. Rampant turned out to be one of the best young adult novels I’ve read all year.

Diana Peterfreund is an excellent writer, choosing a strange, but undeniably unique premise and immersing the reader in her world. Astrid is a compelling character who transitions from normal teenager to strong, confident warrior throughout the course of the novel. Although her unicorn killing abilities border on mythical, her problems beyond unicorns are ones that many teenagers face. She is forced to pursue a path as a unicorn slayer only because her mother wants her to and, as a teenager, she really has no say in the matter. At first, Astrid frantically looks for ways to get out of it, just as any person would, but eventually comes accept that there are a limited number of people that can combat against these dangerous unicorns. To abandon the other hunters would be dangerous not only to them, but to humanity at large. Issues about sex and relationships are in the forefront, due to Astrid’s role as a unicorn hunter being dependant on her virginity, but the narrative avoids being preachy in any way. I was impressed that Peterfreund was able to intertwine real teen issues with her fantastic story.

Rampant was a really quick read because I couldn’t put it down. The Italian setting sets this book apart with its beautiful descriptions of museums and iconic landmarks. It also gave the book a link to Roman history, which was thoroughly researched and sometimes embellished upon implementing art, legends, and historical events. The ancient background contrasts with the modern setting and forces the unicorn slayers to try to find a balance between their destinies determined by fate and their modern right of free will.

Rampant is a surprisingly good novel that I would recommend to fans of fantasy and books with strong female characters. Its unflinching look at harsh realities and violence mixed with fantasy sets it apart from other YA fantasy novels. I can’t wait to read the sequel, Ascendant.

Victor Frankenstein was a precocious child, inspired by and obsessed with the scientists of the past. In university, he continues his obsession, which culminates in the creation of a man made of corpses. As the creature awakens, Victor is horrified and disgusted and runs away. He becomes stricken with illness shortly afterwards and his childhood friend, Henry Clerval, helps nurse him back to health. After four months, Victor finally recovers, only to find that his little brother, William, has been murdered. Sure that the fiend he created is responsible, Victor returns to his home. The tormented creature eventually reveals himself to his furious creator and relays the events leading to William’s murder. After his heart-rending story, he begs his creator to make a woman for him who will accept him and become his mate. Victor agrees, but has second thoughts. Should he create another monster like the one already in existence? If he decides against this second blasphemy, what repercussions will he and his family have to endure?

Mary Shelley’s classic novel Frankenstein is an iconic work that has spawned countless spin-offs, sequels, remakes, copies, and re-imaginings. It’s hardly surprising considering the eloquence and skill that she exhibits. With all the allusions and references to literature and works of science, she shows her vast education, which is even surprising today for an eighteen year old. I absolutely love this book, but I used to hate it. I remember reading it as a child and finding it boring and hard to understand. As an adult, I see the different philosophies being illustrated and the significance of its place in the romantic era. It explores themes such as the nature of man, the effect of isolation verses society on man, and the ethics of science. These are themes that science fiction authors are still writing about today, as seen in the film Splice, Scott Sigler’s novel Ancestor, and countless others. This is really the epitome of the gothic novel, which conveys its messages with a dose of horror and suspense.

The characters and their development is really what makes Frankenstein special. I can see the suffering and anger on both Victor’s and the creature’s side. Victor is a good person who got swept up in his fervor for science without thinking about the consequences. After making the creature, he tries to move forward with his life, but his past follows him. The creature, on the other hand, is actually a sympathetic character. Far from the shuffling, silent monster seen in film, he exhibits great intelligence and is shown to be inherently good. After being consistently rejected and abused by man, he turns to violence and really only to mimic how people have always treated him. He only ever desired to be loved and accepted. I tend to side more with the monster because he was created and then immediately abandoned with no instruction on how to act or survive in the human world. I find the fact that Victor finds this acceptable and proceeds to further antagonize his creation reprehensible.

I could probably go on and on about how Frankenstein is one of the best books ever written, so I’ll stop here. This work is still relevant today and can both horrify and interest modern audiences. I think everyone should read this book at least once.

In the summer, there are strange happenings in Sweden that are hard to ignore. First, people have headaches and electrical items refuse to turn off. They can’t even be unplugged and if this is attempted, the person gets an electric shock. When things suddenly return to normal, the unthinkable happens: the dead rise. These zombies seem to just walk around with no capacity to understand or speak or even harm the living. This is only happening in Stockholm which leads the world to ask: what caused this? Why such a small area? While the rest of the world is trying to make sense of the event, the inhabitants of Stockholm are dealing with their dead loved ones with interesting results. David’s wife had died minutes before the uprising, making his wife the only zombie that can speak. Elvy and her granddaughter Flora are both psychic and don’t know what to make of Elvy’s dead husband showing up at their door. Journalist Gustav Mahler and his daughter have been in a stasis since his grandson died and now see new hope in the dead rising. They just have to dig him out of his grave.

This is an entirely unexpected zombie novel. John Ajvide Lindqvist has done for zombies what he did for vampires in his previous novel Let the Right One In; he practically reinvented the genre. The novel is like a slow burn. It moves slowly, but succeeds in being extremely suspenseful and an altogether different kind of horror than is common in the genre. The focus of the novel isn’t the gore or the zombies or the reasons for these strange happenings, but the living people that have close family members returning as zombies. The people focused on are about as different as can be, but they all share in this bizarre experience. Each character is described eloquently, complete with histories that directly influence how they deal with the zombies. Their reactions are realistic and believable, ranging from religious fanaticism to hysteria to anger to disgust to delusions of normalcy. Each chapter focuses on a different group of characters. Lindqvist is skilled at capturing different individuals’ voices, getting into the hearts and minds of each character, and making it all ring true. The most chilling situation is with Gustav Mahler, his daughter, and her young, undead son.

One thing that I really enjoyed is the presence of the rest of the world in the novel. Many other zombie books and movies are just focused on one country with no reactions or events from other countries. Newspaper articles, television interviews, and radio broadcasts from all over the world are placed in between chapters through most of the book. It lets the reader know that this is an isolated incident and what other countries think about it, as well as giving the story a sense of realism.

There are only a few things in the novel that are flawed. The cause of the uprising is never revealed. I don’t find this a flaw, but I think other fans of the genre would. This isn’t the focus of the story, so it essentially doesn’t really matter what caused it. The ending of the novel is pretty much unresolved. I feel like it could have been tied together a little better. I wouldn’t be surprised if he wrote a follow up novel to continue the story.

Although it has a few flaws, Handling the Undead really blew me away with its originality and eloquence. I can’t wait to see what John Ajvide Lindqvist will do next.

I knew the story of the author and her amazing journey from a welfare, single mom to a community leader and published author - so when the book came out, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. My only disappointment was that it was too short and I wanted more. Ah well,, I guess I'll have to wait for her next book (s)!

Here's a little something about the author and I hope you are inspired too:

About Ms. Irene Brennick

Irene Brennick is an award winning public speaker, who has shared her story of overcoming adversity with tens of thousands of people, bringing audiences to tears and cheers.

When her marriage ended, Irene Brennick was left with two small children and little capacity to support her family. She received no child support, had no college education and no job skills in particular.

She received little family support and didn't even own a car. She took on three part-time jobs, yet many bills remained unpaid, which became a stressful situation.

In desperation, Irene dropped her pride and became a ‘welfare mom.’ She sought out the aid of non-profit groups and took classes at California State University, Northridge and held down a part time job while raising two, young children. Through perseverance, she graduated in 1994 with honors.

Within a few short years, Irene Brennick went from welfare mom to featured speaker for the United Way of Los Angeles and the Jewish Federation. She has addressed tens of thousands of people and her story has been featured in the L.A. Times, Daily News, and on television and radio.

LA Times Articles include: http://www.irenebrennick.com/degree-of-honor.html and http://www.irenebrennick.com/shattered-dream.html and Daily News Article: http://www.irenebrennick.com/volunteer-hero.html

She has inspired corporate CEOs and millionaires as well as politicians, blue collar workers, high school students, and even gang members. In addition to sharing her life story, Ms. Brennick has been invited to speak on topics that include finding one’s purpose in life, welfare reform, and the importance of giving back. Irene is devoted to charity work, including visiting inmates at the Ventura County Jail.

Ms. Brennick founded the GOALmodels speaking program for at risk teens – a program that links students with the likes of Brenda Hampton (creator of the show 7th Heaven), Los Angeles Mayor James Hahn, and Catherine Ryan Hyde (author of Pay It Forward). This weekly, interactive speaking program motivated youth to set and achieve positive goals in their lives. Through the program, students met successful people whom they may never have met if not for Irene. The two-way discussion was done in a non-threatening way and encouraged students to learn from, rather than envy, highly successful people. The speakers came from diverse cultures and all shared personal secrets for success as well as mistakes they’ve made and lessons learned. The main goal of the program was to inspire the students to overcome obstacles in their lives, just as the successful speakers had.

The rights to produce Irene’s life story were purchased by Kushner Locke Productions. She has just published her first book, Bring Your Audience To Their Feet with NorlightsPress.com (www.norlightspress.com ) and it is available at Amazon.com. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=irene+brennick

Irene currently manages over 650 volunteers at Los Robles Hospital in Thousand Oaks, California and puts on health and education events as their Director of Community Services and has taught a course on public speaking called “Anyone Can Do It” at Ventura College. Her classes follow the steps from Bring Your Audience to Their Feet.

Irene’s two beautiful daughters have followed in her footsteps by choosing careers that help others. Ms. Brennick has overcome the difficulties of her past and has written and performs a musical tribute to the everyday heroes entitled, People Like You. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ad-tNkoRvSo

Bottom line: The book had me in tears on page 4 and feeling like a speaking pro at the end -- but I wanted to hear more about the author's journey
