Darcey's life continues as normal as it could be. She has a family now, and friends that really love her. This is her home. But a wrench is thrown into the mix when she meets the dashing but arrogant Prince Hadrian. Will Darcey be able to tame the savage beast, or will she timidly back down?
Note: NOT DONE. Spelling/grammatical checks aren't done. I read it over, but I'm only human. There are bound to be mistakes and overuse of words. Let me know in comments. And I'm aware of how fast their relationship progresses...that's going to be slowed down in final drafts. Alot.
Leo is an average teenager who's parents create him an amulet but when he accidentally uses his powers and destroys it they place him on the street. A book is the only answer. Magic is the key. A dark storm is coming and the country is in crisis it all rests on the shoulders of Leo, Hazel and Nathanial.
In a time of economic anxiety, global terror and shaken confidence, Englishman Leon Logothetis, star of the hit series 'Amazing Adventures of a Nobody' (National Geographic Channels International, Fox Reality), shows us what is good about mankind: the simple calling people have to connect to others.
Tired of his disconnected life and uninspiring job, Leon Logothetis leaves it all behind—job, money, home even his cell phone—and hits the road with nothing but the clothes on his back and five dollars in his pocket.
His journey from Times Square to the Hollywood sign relying on the kindness of strangers and the serendipity of the open road, inspire a dramatic and life changing transformation.
Along the way, Leon offers up the intriguing and charming tales gathered along his one-of-a-kind journey: riding in trains, buses, big rigs and classic cars; sleeping on streets and couches and firehouses; meeting pimps and preachers, astronauts and single moms, celebrities and homeless families, veterans and communists. Each day of his journey, we catch sight of the invisible spiritual underpinning of society in these stories of companionship—and sheer adventure—that prove that the kind, good soul of mankind has not been lost.

These nine stories are first and foremost autobiographical. They are also true. In the early 1970's my parents decided to leave England in search of a more interesting life; fueled by a lifetime of adventure stories my father was desperate to see the world, to experience adventure and to see what little remained of real cultures before the bland cookie-cutter culture of the United States finally took hold.
For the next forty years my parents remained overseas choosing to live in some of the harshest environments and I was fortunate enough to be taken along.
We were not explorers, nor were my parents interested in being 'the first' at anything; but what spurred them on, what kept them going into their retirement, was the desire to not just simply visit distant lands, but to live there, to try as best they could to experience the daily lives of the people they lived amongst.
The stories in this small book are a snap shot of some of the things we saw and experienced. They are in chronological order starting in the early 70's in the Middle East and ending in 2006 in the Pamir mountains.
