College does not prepare you for the real world. Of course, you go to college to earn a degree which you can put into good use once you graduate or once you get yourself a job.

You might think you have been equipped well in school to be able to fare well in the real world, but think again. You might be bringing with you the name of your prestigious college when you apply for work, as well as you’re a+ grade. They will work on your favor but not at all times. When you go out to the real world, it takes more than that to survive and blend in or get to the top. There is a whole wide world of career opportunities for you out there. Depending on the degree you earned and your aspirations, you can readily start on one of these career paths.

A romantic adventure set in Mazatlán, Mexico amid the world's third largest Carnival celebration and violence and corruption with a uniquely Mexican feel. Mundo Carrasco, baseball hero turned journalist, isn't in danger from the "narco" cartels, or whoever murdered the Mayor--it's the woman he longs for that will get him dead if he doesn't watch out.
Mazatlan’s riotous carnival explodes into murder, love, sex, kidnapping…and baseball.
If anybody wondered why star journalist Mundo Carrasco would stop investigating Mazatlan’s drug lords and politicos in order to run the shady new puppet mayor’s press relations, then they had never been to bed with the scorching, amoral, monumental Mijares. Mazatlan’s huge, blaring Carnival became the greatest time Mundo had lived since his days as a local baseball hero: access to the real power and closeted skeletons, a political future of his own, and…mostly…the perfect flesh of Mijares. Then the mayor beats up his wife, the city government starts to unravel into scandal and panic, and they start killing people–with Mundo right up there on their list. Tumbling through the tumult of Carnival, mob violence, narco suites and wretched bulldozed hovels, musical mayhem, his own corruption, and three women who want to reclaim his soul for his own good and their own purposes, Mundo is either sorting himself out or getting totally mixed up…if he comes out of it with his damaged scruples and bruised hide intact.
Author Linton Robinson is a veteran, award-winning journalist and author of several popular books on Mexican culture. His work is very much affected by the decades he lived in various parts of Mexico and Central America. “Sweet Spot” is a valentine to the eight years he lived on a hill right above the throbbing heart of Mazatlan’s carnival celebration, wrote for local newspapers, and hung out with the local musicians, athletes, cops and criminals.

BOOK 4
WHERE FROGS DON'T CROAK IN THE WINTER
for the little boy with the sad eyes and the lady on the corner talking to the moon - the lonely and the simple are the closest to God.
Fanny hesitated and said barely above a whisper, "You have to help me find my heart, somebody stole my heart."
I remembered my first love. It was so long ago no image of her face remains, only a distant feeling, a feeling so dim it barely glows, but still a warm, happy feeling. But, even feeling warm, I couldn't think of anything to say. Fanny, I can't find my own heart didn't sound right.
"You have to help her, Roosevelt," my Guardian Angel said. "A person without a heart is nothing. Ask the Scarecrow?"
I wanted to tell her - Fanny, we all have a heart - it's there, we only have to hold onto it during this life. I feel like holding her. Telling her stories. Telling her the Wicked Witch of the North has flown away. But, as usual, I couldn't express my feelings.
Fanny stood up and took my hand. Fanny's hand is warm, warm like the inside of a fur-lined glove, warm like a mother's hand on the forehead of a sick child. She pulled me up and I followed her, hand in hand, to the room with the empty dome. Fanny released my hand and pointed at the glass dome. "There was a heart in there, a small diamond heart on a white gold chain that belonged to my grandmother. She gave it to my mother who gave it to me. Somebody stole it sometime yesterday." Her words were low and distant, mysterious, filled with longing and sadness.
"How much was it worth?" I asked.
"Not much, maybe a couple of hundred dollars, but it was special, it was my heart."
She turned from the table and I followed her. We went outside through the front door and walked around the house. On the side of the house is a set of steps leading to the porch. Beside the steps were two coal black cats. They were frozen solid and laid out back to back on their sides. Their legs were stretched out straight. What didn't seem like enough blood from their cut throats stained the snow. "Who ever stole my heart also killed my cats and put them here," Fanny said, holding back a sob.
I feel her loss. I feel her sadness. I wondered who would be vile enough to kill her cats. It made me angry. I swore to myself I would find the culprits. In a small town it couldn't be that hard to find the killer or killers and recover the diamond.
Fanny turned to face me. Two teardrops were frozen on her face. I reached out and touched them gently and they fluttered to the ground like ice butterflies. "You are a good man, Roosevelt," my Guardian Angel said, "Even if you are a jerk most of the time."
"You'll help me?" Fanny asked.
"I'll do my best," I promised her. "For all the lost hearts, I'll do my best."
A lonely smile creased Fanny's face. I suddenly had an eerie feeling in my stomach. It felt like the grim reaper was beckoning me. I wondered if I could get killed over a lost heart and two dead cats.
"You bet your booty," my Guardian Angel said.

My wife referred to her growing enchantment in outdoors adventure as “competing in a man’s world.” That idea infuriated me. I understand that anyone who pretends to be anyone must struggle with everyday problems and relationships. I realize love must be learned and earned, and that it can be lost through mistakes or choices made or not made during life. Some might applaud the thought of a lady determined to become her “own woman” in a man’s world. Not me. What bothers me is not that my petite and lovely wife of a half-century wants to compete in outdoors proficiency with others. But where in hell does she—or anyone else—get the idea that all in nature belongs to men?
This book, Dance On the Wild Side, is about two people in love who started out on the wrong foot in every way—except for their commitment to each other. It’s about a man who switches career paths one, two, three times while seeking fulfillment and adventure. And it’s about a bewildered and disappointed wife who gradually comes to understand and accept her guy’s dream until she, too, embraced and came to love that same dream.
But life was hard for the young family, and as they struggled to exhaustion, dreams proved illusive. Still they dared, then they glared financial ruin eyeball-to-eyeball. Some might call it regimented-discipline. Roland called it determination. Jane referred to as stubbornness. Whatever its semantics, the couple wallowed through wastelands of deprivation to arrive at the far side of their chosen lifestyle as leaders among their peers. If nothing else, Roland and Jane Cheek proved themselves survivors in the game of life. And along the way they were forged by challenge, indulged in adventure, and developed a multitude of forever friends from all over America and the world.
This book, then, is about two people in love, sharing a life of dreams amid exciting adventure—and growing in the process. It’s a tale peppered with wild animals and untamed people, set against a backdrop of magnificent American wilderness. You’ll encounter, as they did, runaway horses, sudden blizzards, raging rivers, and fierce windstorms. Along the way, you’ll also bask in the sunbeams and rainbows that rewarded this couple as they discover a growing respect and reverence for a wild land, a fulfilling lifestyle . . . and each other.
In reality, it’s about any couple who live and love and share and struggle to achieve the life they wish. What makes this story especially remarkable is how many times these two people fell on their butts while doing it.
The Midwest Book Review wrote: “Dance On the Wild Side is terrific reading, part true life adventure, part inspiration, and part blueprint for a life worth living.”
A Great Falls Tribune reviewer wrote: “There are dark passages in this book: Roland’s devotion to a haunting older brother, an underlying characteristic of belligerence in the man and some trouble in the marriage.”
But the same reviewer concludes: “This is a good book about good people who do the right thing.”
“Loved your last book [Dance On the Wild Side]. Must say it was a bearing of your souls. Also must say it should be required reading for every young couple considering marriage. It’s quite a story of give and take—love and pulling together toward a common goal. - Alex Tully / Reklaw, TX
“I just read Dance On the Wild Side and couldn’t put it down. I want everyone in my family to read it.”

Following a strange encounter when out celebrating her birthday, Jeannie’s once perfect boyfriend becomes distant and violent. And, to make things worse, she starts seeing and hearing ghostly apparitions on nearby North Shore Beach. As one part of her life falls apart, however, Jeannie finds herself offered an extremely well-paid job at a beach café and with a boss she hardly sees.

With more ghostly happenings and violent incidents occurring every day, Jeannie soon starts to realise that all of these various elements are connected and that their story is one of epic love and tragedy that will involve the fate of entire races of people... including our own.

NICE TO KNOW YOUR PUPILS GOT YOUR BACK WHEN YOU NEED IT.
JUST SOME OF THE COMMENTS FOUND IN THE 5 STAR REVIEWS OF THIS COLLECTION OF STORIES FOR ADULTS!
So What! Stories or Whatever! is a collection of stories about the people who are found in a contemporary High School; tales that will make the reader laugh, cry, think deeply or differently, and maybe even be inspired or impressed. It generally follows the early and subsequent career of Robert Jeffrey, as he attempts to prove to himself that he can motivate the children he teaches to want to learn about Science – and maybe become scientists one day. All through the book we are made aware of the joys and disappointments experienced by pupils and their teachers.
The book tends to concentrate in the latter part on an unpleasant boy Kyle, who is a bully, and his effect on two other boys, Adam and Nigel Shantra. Unknown to Mr Jeffrey he also affects the way his teaching job changes at the exact time that Robert really feels he has become a “good teacher”. The three paths of Nigel, Kyle and Robert Jeffrey converge several years later in the last chapter.
Waterloo Road or Grange Hill meet Gervase Phinn? - well maybe! When you read this book you will have to admit that the stories about its individuals will stay in your memory for a long time. With over twenty years teaching experience behind him, G J Griffiths has brought to the reader some of the stories about the children he taught, in this amusing and often sobering book. Parents, teachers, pupils and students will all recognise the characters and their tales.With the ever-present controversy about changing the education system this is a timely illustration of what is to be found in the classrooms of any contemporary High School.
