Delivering inspiration and "parenting comedy at its finest,"* here is one woman's story of ditching her fairytale dreams and falling in love with her unpredictable, chaotic, imperfect life Kristina Kuzmic has made herself a household name, speaking directly to mothers from the trenches of parenthood via her viral videos and social media presence. She is now bringing her message of self-acceptance, resilience, and joy to book readers. With a refreshingly unpretentious, funny, and galvanizing voice, Kuzmic goes behind the scenes to reveal how she went from broke and defeated to unshakably grounded and brimming with thankfulness. Illuminating the hard-won wisdom from a life always spent one step behind--whether it was as a high school student new to America, a suddenly single mother to two kids, remarried and juggling two teens and a toddler, or the unexpected recipient of Oprah's attention and investment--Hold On, But Don't Hold Still is the book every mother needs to reassure her that she's not only fine just as she is, but that she already has more tools and support than she can possibly imagine. Sparkling with wit, this heartfelt memoir is like a long coffee date with a best friend, or the eleventh-hour text message that gives you just the boost you need to get through the night. *The Huffington Post A VIKING LIFE TITLE

Maya San Lucas had been lost in her dreamworld for the better part of five years. Desparia was just a fantasy world for her to explore during stretches of boredom at school and at home. Going to that world let her have adventures, exploring secret locations, and searching through towns and cities for loot to come away with. The life of a thief was so much more exciting than high school, especially with no friends to speak of. After the battle at the museum, Maya returns to her dreamworld, this time in person. But was she really ready for the world of Desparia? Still stuck within the emperor's stronghold, the group continues in their quest to defeat the enemy that threatens the lives of everyone in the world.

Surrounded by powerful beings, they must confront their own internal demons that rival those that surround them in the flesh. When you're stuck in hell, the only way out is through. When Heather first came into her powers, it wasn't the smoothest of transitions into the role of a mage initiate. Her magic destroyed her childhood home, with her parents along with it. As her powers continued to rage beyond her control, only the help of her new teacher could possibly let her go back to the normal life she so longed for. But when the emperor comes knocking, her choices are stripped from her, and her future is no longer her own.

Being There and the Evolution of a Screenplay provides an insightful look at the drafting of one of Hollywood history's greatest scripts. Being There (1979) is generally considered the final film in Hal Ashby's triumphant 1970s career, which included the likes of Harold and Maude (1971) and Shampoo (1975). The film also showcases Peter Sellers's last great performance. In 2005, the Writers Guild of America included Being There on its list of 101 Best Scripts. Being There and the Evolution of a Screenplay features three versions of the script: an early draft by Jerzy Kosinski, based on his 1970 novel; a second by long-time Ashby collaborator and Oscar-winner Robert C. Jones, which makes substantial changes to Kosinki's; and a final draft written by Jones with Ashby's assistance, which makes further structural and narrative changes. Additionally, the book features facsimile pages from one of Kosinski's copy of the scripts that include handwritten notes, providing readers with valuable insight into the redrafting process. For each version, Ashby scholar Aaron Hunter adds perceptive analysis of the script's development, the relationships of the writers who worked on it, and key studio and production details. This is both a presentation of the script of Being There, and a record of the process of crafting that script – a text that will be of interest to film fans and scholars as well as writers and teachers of screenwriting. Evolution of a Screenplay is the first book of its kind to so amply demonstrate the creative development of a Hollywood script.

Lamerion was a land tended by the six Goddesses that watched over the balance of life on the once fair and fertile realm. The three races of Faer that shared Lamerion with the animals and the plants and the waters had both aided and hindered the Goddesses tasks yet life had thrived for millions of years on the fair Lamerion. Then the realm had seen the first signs of the evil that would soon gain too great a hold on the land to be banished with ease. Wingless Dragons given the name of Bekchers had nested in the far north and within weeks had destroyed all life from the Suveyus Sea to the Onoik Mountains. Only the arrival of larger and fiercer winged Dragons had prevented the destruction of the entire realm. Three unique races of Goblins had appeared nearly eight hundred years later seemingly without warning. The evil beasts threatened all forms of life that made Lamerion their home as they grew in numbers and spread quickly over the land. The six Goddesses had watched with grief as their precious charge had quickly succumbed to the evil that now raped the land. For nearly a century They could only watch and try to renew as the Goblins destruction spread like fire over the land that They nurtured. Then Trolls had appeared in the far south and the lesser Goddesses had pleaded with the greatest to intervene before all was lost yet They had been forced to wait until Lady Weling would declare it time to act. They had waited until long after the birth of the Feenin Fae that would change the course of Lamerion forever. Evil had never before dwelt within the heart of any Fae yet in Lord Jolten a darkness seethed that rivaled that of the Goblins and the Bekchers and the Trolls. A threat now existed on Lamerion worse than anything that the realm had seen before and Lady Weling finally assented to aiding the Faer in a way that They never had before, in the only way that They could.
