If you had the damned money, you’d have paid it all off by now. I know this. So instead of telling you ways to scrounge up enough money to pay off your debts, I hope to convince you not to pay anything you cannot afford. I want you to keep as much of your stuff as possible while paying as little as possible of your own hard-earned cash. Most books that claim to be about getting out of debt are really just about good old-fashioned financial prudence. This one is not. It’s too late for that now. The Great Recession lingers, and even as our global financial institutions sit atop massive piles of taxpayer-funded bailout dollars, the ordinary people of America continue to struggle. Time for your bailout. Here is very simple, very practical, and most importantly a very realistic guide to the American legal process of enforcing debts. I am a debtor’s lawyer. This is what I do. Everything in this book comes from personal experience. I have helped hundreds of clients solve every sort of financial problem that people can encounter, and I have packed all of these lessons into this book. If you ever wanted to know things like: What happens if you don’t pay a debt? How do you fix broken credit? How can you keep your home from being foreclosed? What can I do about my student loans? Can they take my dog? Is bankruptcy a good idea or a horrible idea? What if I let the bank foreclose on my home? Will I ever be able to buy a car again? This book is for you.
I don’t know what I was thinking when I hired someone to attack me. Maybe I was bored, or lonely, or there was a void so deep inside of me that I needed something explosive to fill it. It was supposed to be safe. A thrill. A way to break through the monotony of everyday life. It was an illusion of danger that I could walk away from as soon as it was over. Except that it wasn’t. Because I had been in danger long before I ever invited it into my life. ——————— My mission is almost complete. The bubbling boil of vengeance that heats my blood might finally simmer. She is the last piece of the puzzle. Once I destroy her, everyone who ever hurt me will have paid their debt. It was supposed to be quick and easy, but as soon as I met her it got complicated. Very complicated.
Urban Fantasy with a Cyberpunk Twist
***Second Season of Debt Collector***
Recommended: start with Season One.
What’s your life worth on the open market?
In this gritty urban fantasy, debt collectors take your life energy and give it to someone more “worthy”… all while paying the price with black marks on their souls.
“Wraith is amazing and just as compelling as Lirium–once again I’m hooked!!”
“I loved being back in this world! Wraith has captivated me.”
Wraith is a shadow in the night, haunting the bedrooms of the rich “high potentials” who have stolen life energy from the desperate and dying. The justice and the sweet mercy hit that follow keep her from falling into her own personal abyss. Her secret nighttime work also keeps her on level for her real mission: carrying on her father’s legacy of attempting to bring an end to debt collection as a whole. But when a mysterious debt collector interrupts her in the act and discovers her secret, everything Wraith loves may be destroyed by the one thing she can never fix– the original sin of being a debt collector herself.

Small island developing states (SIDS) are widely acknowledged to be among the most economically vulnerable in the world. As small open economies, SIDS are especially exposed to external shocks. The environmental, economic, and social difficulties stemming from climate change, rising sea levels, and natural disasters exacerbate the significant risks to the sustainable development of SIDS. In spite of the critical impact of high and rising debt levels on the developmental fortunes of these nations, very little comprehensive and rigorous academic research has been conducted on the nexus between debt and development in these vulnerable economies.
Debt and Development in Small Island Developing States draws on the expertise of established researchers and public officials from the SIDS community to answer the following questions: What has been the nature and extent of the debt experience in SIDS? What are the drivers of debt accumulation in such countries? What are the characteristics of SIDS that explain their propensity to indebtedness? And what are the prospects for debt sustainability in such countries over the medium term? This edited volume contributes to the literature by highlighting the essential elements of an agenda for achieving debt sustainability in SIDS.

It’s a story of the friendship that saved his life, and the friendship that will play a part in ending it. It’s about growing up, sometimes much more quickly than we plan. But mostly, it’s Dylan’s story.

“Neutering the National Debt” is a refreshingly different perspective on deficits, the national debt, and economic growth. The author uses clear language and practical examples from our everyday lives to shed a surprising new light on these topics. For example, his “nuclear war brain teaser” quickly reveals the dangerous paradox built into the idea of a balanced budget amendment. And that’s just one example of the author’s frontal assault on conventional wisdom; these pages hold many additional surprises. His argument should jolt all of us into rethinking many topics we had thought were settled, such as: the Reagan-era deficits; the Clinton-era surpluses; the “debt ceiling”; the supposed wisdom of “paying down the debt”; what he calls “the fairy tale of trickle-down economics”; and other talking points high on both parties’ political agendas. He explains how the USA has neutralized the perceived problems of deficits and debt in the past, and how we could do it again. In the final chapter he bluntly suggests how the Republicans and the Democrats could adjust their respective agendas in order to neutralize the national debt and clear the path to prosperity, then he finishes with his estimate of each party’s chances of pulling it off. As CNBC’s Larry Kudlow said, Steve sheds a brand new light on this subject, and shows that economic growth solves debt. This book is a must read for anyone who wants a new perspective on these topics; it’s a welcome escape from the tired, worn-out talking points we’ve been hearing from both parties for too long.

Four hundred years before Oskar Schindler there was Suleiman the Magnificent, an Ottoman sultan who rescued thousands of Jews from the fires of the Inquisition. Inspired by this amazing and little-known moment in history, Nicole Dweck has imagined an enchanting family saga where the kindness of one man is repaid generations later.
It’s 1544, and young José Mendez and his family escape the Inquisition in Portugal with the aid of Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. Yet it’s only just before fleeing that José even finds out he’s Jewish—and that his own parents died for their faith. As he makes a new life in Istanbul, he yearns to feel connected to the parents he lost, digging deeper into his Jewish roots. But when his own daughter secretly falls in love with the sultan’s Muslim son, José finds himself in a life-changing dilemma, one that will shape generations to come.
Centuries later, when Selim Osman, the last living descendant of the sultan, is diagnosed with a fatal condition, he abandons the only life he’s ever known and flees Istanbul, taking refuge in a New York hospital. In a twist of fate, he meets Hannah, the daughter of a Holocaust survivor and an artist striving to understand a father she barely knows. Unaware the connection they share goes back centuries, they feel an immediate pull to one another. But when something from Selim’s past comes to light, the act that bound two families centuries ago ripples into the future, threatening to tear them apart.
From the 16th-century harem to WWII Paris to modern-day New York, Nicole Dweck weaves together a spellbinding tapestry of history with transcendent love and spirituality that will absorb readers from the very first page.
