Allie Treadwell has feelings. Lots of them. And they all center around her friend, Javi - that is, Detective Javier Portillo. But does he feel the same way about her? Allie isn't sure. And she's even less sure she wants to risk ruining things to find out. Their friendship is put to the test when while on a morning jog, the two stumble across a body. And what seems a simple hit and run is anything but as motives are revealed. Lanai is a town full of suspects.

Allie Treadwell’s mystery senses are tingling...again. A death at her grandmother’s retirement community has the food blogger suspecting murder. And she’s not the only one. Allie’s neighbor Jeanie happened to have a “special relationship” with the deceased, Melvin Fleming.

Tessa's finally getting the hang of her career as a grim reaper. She’s returned home from the reaper conference feeling confident in all things job-related. She even has a new special ability - the power of the scythe. What she isn't so confident about is her budding relationship with Silas St. Onge. He's onto her secret double life, and Tessa can't decide whether to keep putting him off or come clean with the truth.

It's all fun in the sun, until other reapers start to die.... Tessa Randolph is a reaper, one of the few endowed with the abilities of the real grim reaper. And now, she's been offered a spot to attend the annual reaper conference in Miami. But things get off to a rocky start when another reaper dies on the plane. And none of the other reapers saw his soul depart for the hereafter. Tessa takes it upon herself to figure out why.

A new flame. A recipe. Another murder. When food blogger and restaurant reviewer, Allie Treadwell, is invited to the grand opening of Lanai’s newest attraction, a murder mystery dinner party, she expects a night of fun, good food, and mystery. What she didn’t expect is an actual murder. What seems an open and shut case is anything but as Allie uncovers clues that lead to a conspiracy. With an innocent man framed, Allie can’t just sit by and watch. She uses the only power she has to help set the story straight, her words.

This important book offers a practical guide to understanding how Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) can be used in the classroom. Gardner identified eight different types of intelligence: linguistic, logical, spatial, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, naturalist, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. Celebrating Every Learner describes the characteristics of each type of intelligence and follows up with ready-to-use lesson plans and activities that teachers can use to incorporate MI in their pre-K through six classrooms.

"Macht" - darum geht's in der zweiten Reihe des "DomWort". Von Dezember 2021 bis März 2022 jeden Monat ein Vortrag im Trierer Dom, anschließend hier als Podcast-Folge, jeweils etwa dreißig Minuten.

Then she finds out that her dad didn't get killed years ago, but is the head of a powerful syndicate, hiding in Paris. In order to track him down, the seventeen year old interferes with his business, forcing him to resurface. Falling for the enemy wasn't part of the plan. Viktor doesn't just look hot.

So hat sich Ally den Tag nicht vorgestellt. Erst entpuppt sich ihr Onkel als waschechter Gauner. Als nächstes entdeckt sie, dass ihr Vater nicht vor Jahren ums Leben gekommen ist, sondern der Kopf eines mächtigen Syndikats ist und sich in Paris versteckt. Um ihn aufzuspüren, mischt sich die Siebzehnjährige in seine illegalen Geschäfte und zwingt ihn aus dem Untergrund. Dass sie sich dabei in den Feind verliebt, war nicht geplant.
