LOLA IS DEAD [ COMPLETED ]
Lola died in a car accident. She expected silence. Darkness. Nothing. Instead, she woke in the middle of a war. A war that has raged for thousands of years, between the soul-hunting Darkling Demons and the ruthless Guardians of Zion, warriors of Purgatory sworn to protect the dead. Here, angels are real. God is real. And so are the creatures that would drag every soul into eternal slavery. Lola is the only living witness to the truth of the afterlife, where the dead gather in Iduri City, waiting for judgment... and where every soul is a prize worth killing for. Because the Darklings are no longer waiting. They have a plan to overrun the city and it begins with stealing its greatest defense: the Heavenly Salve of Archangel Raphael. When Lola is given a rare chance to return to the world of the living, she doesn't hesitate. It's her chance to see her family again. Her friends. The boy she never got to say goodbye to. But the mission comes with a cost. Going back means leaving behind the one person who kept her alive in a world of the dead, the mysterious boy who fought beside her, protected her... and might mean more to her than the life she lost. One world is calling her home. The other is calling her heart. And Lola has to choose.Complete
Shane Jeremy James
Let me begin by introducing you to myself, and why I wish to write these blogs on motivation, compassion, and passion. My name is Shane Jeremy James, and I have always been business-headed. From the ages of 16, I was reading business articles, and learning the art of business. I even started selling hockey cards - not a business I know, but obviously demonstrating sheer spirit and entrepreneurship! Growing up, I had two passions. My first passion was hockey. I loved hockey, and although I loved the sport and was pretty good at it (if I do say so myself), I knew I would never be able to make a career out of it. My dream of joining the NHL faded, and I knew it wasn't meant to be. Instead, I focused all my time and energy on my second passion - the passion for business. Not only was business something I wished to pursue, but also knew that I wanted to make something of myself - to be successful, to be known, to make a difference!Complete
