If you have ever wondered about the joy of aging, wonder no more. You only have to read a few pages of my book to find out. But, we know aging is not all about joy. It is filled with so many different events that happened in our lives. Different friends and acquaintances shared their good times as well as the not so good times. You will not be able to keep from laughing with them at some of the happenings and perhaps be saddened at others. As you read, you may find yourself relating to some of their stories. You will enjoy the games that test your acceptance of getting old and the original poetry that fits the topic.

When Sarah returns to Paradise after seven years and sees that it's been burned to the ground, she realizes it's time to let go of the past. Being able to bury the past makes it easier to concentrate on her future and her ambitions, but who is this person that continues to haunt her nights? Who won't leave her alone? Why does it seem like they are always around but no one ever sees them? When the police department she works for sends over a technician to install a security system and he gets hurt before he even starts the job, she wonders what, this maniac has in store for her. Will she be safe in her own home, or will she be a prisoner? Who, if anyone, can she trust? She decides to try trusting the technician since he seems to be at her place so much. Could she be falling for the man who is trying to keep her safe, even though she vowed years ago to not let anyone into her heart ever again? She's supposed to be the one who catches the bad guys, but when she doesn't know who that is, will she ever find him? Be sure to look for the next thriller in the Sarah Wheeler series, "Secrets".

Since her parents' divorce, Sarah, who is now fifteen, has become withdrawn and painfully shy. She didn't have a lot of friends before the divorce, but now, she doesn't have any. When the hunky new guy starts trying to talk to her and asks her to help tutor him, she keeps him at arm's length, tutoring only, nothing else. Why do people think there's something going on with them when there isn't? Why are other girls threatening her when she hasn't done anything? How is it that this new guy is causing so many issues in her nice little town of Paradise? What can she do to stop all this madness? She has no idea the run through hell her life is going to take and will soon learn what's in store for her and why you should always be careful what you wish for. Don't miss the next thrilling adventure in the Sarah Wheeler series, He's Watching. Coming soon.

Like other books in the Core Clinical Concepts in Audiology Series, Speech Audiometry is designed to be particularly helpful and appealing to students and clinicians. It provides a single, easy to manage volume that provides broad coverage of speech audiometry and masking in clinical protocols. In addition to providing appropriate background information, the coverage presents a broad spectrum of assessment tools ranging from traditional to modern. Procedures in this book will assist clinicians in determining differential diagnosis, assessing auditory processing ability, identifying pseudohypacusis, determining cochlear implant candidacy, predicting hearing aid benefit, and counseling. Speech Audiometry, Word Recognition, and Binomial Variables: Interview with Gary Lawson, PhD Douglas L. Beck, AuD, speaks with Dr. Lawson about his 2011 textbook on speech audiometry, critical differences in word recognition scores, dynamic range of speech, and more.
