A comprehensive list of common misconceptions and popular myths

More scintillating words from Massachusetts poet Bill Comeau. Some of his "early works" (1955-1976) in print for the first time. This volume of poetry chronicles Bills years at Hartford Seminary, Bangor Theological Seminary, University of New Hampshire, Haverhill High School and spanning the decades to recent years. These are the sometimes poignant, always witty thoughts of a dyslexic, bipolar kid driven to impulsive actions and convinced that he would not make it beyond his 36th birthday in 1977. Bill exhorts readers to "enjoy, reflect on whatever you've been told about your prospects, your talent, or your future... and never stop creating what makes you happy."

He had total control of his game--until she changed all the rules . . . As one of the best players in the NHL and the "golden boy" of the league, Avery Westwood knows he has to keep his cool--on and off the ice. His whole life is a carefully constructed image of perfection for the media and his brand sponsors. Of course, that means he can never let his true feelings show. But when it comes to the sexy sister of his former teammate, Avery might be willing to make an exception . . . even if it means breaking all his own rules. As far as Stephanie Deveau is concerned, having a thing for Avery is the equivalent of psychological napalm. Tres bad idea. Then he moves in next door, all sexy smiles and a deliciously hot body that she can't resist. Something's happening between them--it's intense, a little (a lot) out of control, and real. Only Avery doesn't know everything about Stephanie's past. And the one exception to his rule might just be the one girl who could destroy his career.
