From USA Today Bestselling author and high school creative writing teacher L.A. Detwiler comes a book of tried and true strategies for the writing classroom.The opportunity to teach a high school creative writing class can be both thrilling and terrifying.

Most were solely focused on fun activities or how to be a writer, not on how to structure a class and actually teach it.This book is the product of my own frustrations in my first year and the experience I've gained from trial and error over the past eight years of teaching the course.

When everyone is against you, it's tough being a Lifeliner, as Nash Bannon found out. Lifeliners are ordinary people…almost. They draw energy from others; they live longer and are smarter. Will homo sapiens be replaced by homo renata within ten generations? Protest marches by extremist groups, attacks against Lifeliners and repressive laws enacted by governments everywhere are portents of a dark future, and Nash does not like what's going on. Unless lifeliners rise up and fight for their rights, they can expect sterilization, incarceration, and possible extermination as democracies everywhere turn into autocracies. To survive, the Lifeliner Party must employ the same dirty tricks the government used against them.

All Rose ever wanted was the love of her father - not his money or prominence, just his love. After her mother's early death, her father was all she had left. But, instead of reaching out to her and giving her the love she so desperately needed, his grief and pain made him pull away - leaving her to the care of his servants and staff. She grows up into a beautiful, headstrong, feisty, yet serious young woman, but no matter how hard she tries to ignore the emptiness in her heart, it was still there. Terrified to meet the relatives she hadn't seen since she was five years old, she makes the journey alone. She quickly realizes that her late father's wealth - and with that, her dowry - made her a target for journalists and men everywhere. Will her family welcome her with open arms, or are they taking her in because they have to? Is a man worthy of her love out there, or does everyone only care about her wealth?
