Erin Green – författare

'A warm, funny, uplifting writer!' KATIE FFORDEIf you love Lucy Diamond, Phillipa Ashley, Sue Moorcroft and Holly Martin, you'll LOVE Erin Green's novels of love, life and laughter..............................Welcome to the Lakeside Cottage . . . A place to write, where inspiration awaits . . .Five authors have gathered at the idyllic Lakeside Cottage for a retreat, with the promise of peace and dedicated writing time. At least, that's the idea . . .Retreat organiser Rula is there to edit, surrounded by like-minded souls. An interloper, especially one with whom she has a past, was certainly not part of her plan.Eve has a bad case of writer's block, despite numerous bestsellers under her belt. Can she find new inspiration? Or will she get drawn into the dramas that unfold around her?Alice has a deadline looming but is seemingly more interested in anything but writing. And where does she keep disappearing to?Daphne is an experienced self-published author, but might she be more unconventional in other ways too?And then there's Brontë, the complete novice. She's a mere scribbler, not a 'proper writer' like these other women, and she feels totally out of her depth.As the collective word count grows, and their personal stories interweave, each woman finds herself drawn in unexpected and life-changing directions..............................Warm praise for Erin Green's heartfelt novels:'An uplifting and wonderful story about the power of female friendships' Donna Ashcroft'Thoroughly entertaining. The characters are warm and well drawn' Sue Roberts'A lovely, heart-warming story . . . I was hooked!'

But Affie, Carlos and Joseph have a similar idea, involving a sports channel, plenty of beer, and absolutely no women. Somehow, there's been a double booking.Paisley just wants to escape her worries, to recharge and reset for the coming year. The last thing she needs is complications. Kate, the elder sister, is a people pleaser, used to making things run smoothly for her CEO boss, but even she can't fix this, can she?Selena, meanwhile, may have a hugely successful career and be about to turn thirty, but she's her own worst enemy, and, as per usual, this mess may well be her fault...To make matters worse, Paisley and Joseph have history. Can the six of them find a way to navigate nearly a week together? Can the past be left behind and a new future found?.............................Warm praise for Erin Green's heartfelt novels:'An uplifting and wonderful story about the power of female friendships' Donna Ashcroft'Thoroughly entertaining.

The 196 social and life skills showcased in this fourth edition will empower young people to have greater success in school, at home, on the job, and in their relationships. Several of the new skills promote the values and principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Those skills include: · Sticking Up for Yourself · Sticking Up for Others · Agreeing to Disagree · Recognizing Your Own Personal Biases or Opinions Other new skills focus on personal autonomy (Gaining Consent, Giving Consent, and Responding to Persons of Authority). Plus, there are new skills that teach young people how to interact with law enforcement (Responding to Police Interactions and Dealing with Fear of the Police). The manual reflects and focuses on the importance of teaching social skills to youth of all ages, the elements of social behaviour (task and behaviour analysis), individual and group teaching techniques, generalization of skills, the role of skill-based interventions for difficult youth problems, and the Boys Town Social Skills Curriculum itself. For ease and convenience, there are four appendices that group skills by behaviour problem areas, common situations or circumstances, social and emotional learning competencies (self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making), and skill type (social, emotional management, academic, moral/ethical, and independent living). Every skill is available for download and print through BoysTownPress.org. TEACHING SOCIAL SKILLS TO YOUTH, FOURTH EDITION is ideal for classrooms, individual and group therapy, and job training programs. Educators and caregivers can use this guide to strengthen their cultural competence, increase the skill competency of children, help improve student behaviour in school, and develop individualized service plans for troubled or at-risk youth. It is an excellent companion to Building Resiliency in Youth and Mental Health: From Diagnosis to Delivery, both available from Boys Town Press.
