Just before her thirteenth birthday, Angel Sometimes' aunt took her 800 miles from her home in Oklahoma, gave her $50 and left Angel on South Padre Island, Texas. Four years later, Angel hitchhiked to Austin and got a job swimming as a mermaid in a bar in the music district. At twenty-two, she has friends and a place to live. When a homeless girl is beaten and a waitress killed, Angel realizes she will never be whole until she confronts her parents. 

To do that, she needs three things: her high school diploma, a car and a gun. She has a car. She’s finished her final test for her GED. The only thing she needs is the gun and she knows where to get one.

by Helen Ginger

Few careers hold more mystique than those in the aviation field. Who hasn't walked by the open door of a cockpit and gazed at all the lights and panels and wondered what they meant? But it's not just the pilot who keeps the plane flying. It's also the aviation electronics technician (AET) who keeps the instruments running, which in turn keep the craft in the air, in communication, on time and out of danger. TechCareers: Avionics has all the information you'll need to start your career in this rewarding field.

About the Author:
Helen Ginger began writing when she was in grade school. After getting her Master’s from Southwest Texas State University, she taught at San Antonio College and Incarnate Word College. She did a stint as the Executive Director of the Writers’ League of Texas and is an owner-partner in Legends In Our Own Minds®.Helen’s e-newsletter, Doing It Write, goes out to readers on every continent except the Antarctic. She’s looking for someone there. When not writing, she edits fellow authors’ books. When asked to write Automotive Technicians, Helen hesitated. After all, she’d somehow gotten through life without ever having to change a tire. She wrote Automotive Technicians for those, like her, who want to learn about this career. She met the most interesting people -- students who enjoy working on cars, teachers dedicated to their students, employers with years of experience who think there’s no better profession, and working techs who love what they do and do what they do with amazing skill. Those are the people you meet in this book and in automotive shops everywhere.

Ghostwriting

Yes, Helen is a Ghostwriter. (See how easily she can talk about herself in the third person?) But that's all she's going to say. Her clients tell all; she doesn't. That's why she's called a ghostwriter.
