Hired killers. Vigilantes. Executioners. Paid killers or assassins working from a moral or political motivation. You’ll find them all in this thrilling anthology. But these are not ordinary killers, not your run-of-the-mill hitmen. The emphasis is on the "uncommon" here—unusual characters, unusual situations, and especially unusual means of killing. Here are tales by some of the best suspense/thriller writers today, including F. Paul Wilson, Ken Bruen, J. Carson Black, Billie Sue Mosiman, Laura DiSilverio, and 18 others. The stories range from historical fiction to science fiction to political thriller—there’s even an alternate history story in the mix. "Uncommon Assassins is a nicely put together anthology and there’s something to love for crime and mystery fans alike. As with any good anthology, you’ll probably discover a new author that you’ll want to add to your to–be-read list, and also some stories from some old favourites." -- Crime Fiction Lover <ul>

What horror anthology on body enhancements wouldn’t include gross-out fiction? This book has it in spades. But, this collection of stories goes far beyond that. Here you will also find science fiction, surreal fiction, fantasy, and even a full serving of dark humor. Disturbing, perverse, often gut-wrenching (pun intended) stories—all between the covers of this anthology! Nineteen chilling tales by some of the best horror and suspense writers today. Definitely not for the squeamish! "Hardcore horror that ranges from the socially relevant to the scatologically repulsive—the shock here is like 'The Scream' made flesh." — Mort Castle, editor of On Writing Horror: A Handbook by the Horror Writers Association "In Zippered Flesh 3, Editor Weldon Burge has done a masterful job of combining work from well-known masters like Jack Ketchum and Graham Masterton with newer writers. But it is the original work by newcomers like L.L. Soares and Meghan Acuri that stands out for me. ... Highly recommended." — Gene O'Neill, author of The Hitchhiking Effect: A Retrospective Collection "'Closer by Charles Colyott is a wonderfully poignant and romantic story. ... 'Going Green' by Christine Morgan is so original, timely, and well-written it deserves special mention. ... Kudos to Burge for putting together another fine anthology of cutting-edge fiction." — Paul Dale Anderson, author of The Instruments of Death series Billie Sue Mosiman — Horns, Teeth, and Knobs Shaun Meeks — Upgraded Christine Morgan — Going Green Jeff Menapace — Worm Adrian Ludens — Reduced to Tears William F.

We believe in ghosts. Do you? Expecting the usual? Please don’t. You won’t find haunted houses, spirit infested graveyards, demonic poltergeists, or possessed objects in these pages. It’s been said that there are no haunted places, only haunted people. That’s who you’ll find here, the haunted ones. A maintenance technician in remote Alaska, an English thief, a young couple on a road trip across America, an astronaut on a one way ride to Jupiter, an Irish gravedigger, and dozens more. All victims of an otherworldly infection, all tormented by a plague of shadows. Do you believe in ghosts? You will.

As the Admission Director of a private school, you're probably amazed at the many different ways prospective families discover your school hearing positive word of mouth from a friend of a friend of a friend, coming across your school Web site during a Google search, reading about your school in a magazine or newspaper, receiving one of your direct mail pieces, watching one of your sports events or attending a school play or concert, or hearing the School Head on a local radio talk show. Regardless of how they find you, the key question you must ask is: What do I do when parents and students express an interest in our school? This book answers that question and more! Not only does it answer what to do, but it provides a step-by-step process to bring prospective families into your office and eventually, if you meet their needs, matriculate their children into your school as successful, mission-appropriate students. Keeping the funnel full from top to bottom and free-flowing is the Admission Office's challenge. Your ability to skillfully guide mission-appropriate families through the admission process is essential in guaranteeing your school s future and maintaining its quality. This book helps you assess your process to ensure the effectiveness of your current practices. If your school is having trouble maintaining full enrollment, analyze your admission process using the Admission Funnel as a gauge. As you read this book and follow step-by-step through the funnel process, you're likely to find ways to fine tune your own process and strengthen the overall enrollment program at your school. The book is a based on the experience of the Consultants of Independent School Management and their consulting in private schools for more than three decades; articles published in ISM's two management advisory letters, Ideas &amp; Perspectives and To The Point; and materials used for teaching in ISM's various workshops and seminars. Throughout this book, a fictional K-12, coed day school, Aegis Academy, is used to provide examples and samples to better explain the strategies and techniques discussed. These examples (e.g., contracts, forms, and response letters) are intentionally generic in nature so that you can easily adapt them for your school's unique character and mission. Chapters include: The Foundation of a Successful Private School Admission Process * How Do You Define Your School? * Encouraging and Handling Inquiries * The Visit * The Application Process * The Screening Process * Acceptances (and Waiting Pools) * Enrollment * Matriculation * Evaluating Your Admission Funnel Process Appendices include: The Role of the Faculty in Admission * The Online Admission Office * Strategies for Strengthening Relationships With Feeder Schools * Recruiting Students Through Your Summer Program * Admission Procedures for ADA Compliance * The Applicant Survey * The Shared Roles of Your School's Advancement Offices * Re-recruitment Keeping the Students You Want * Recommended Reading "This book is an A-to-Z encyclopedia on the steps of the admission funnel, with a wealth of detailed suggestions at each step along the way. It will be consulted frequently by readers who are new to their Admission Office roles, as well as by those veterans looking to enhance their operation and strengthen their enrollment. The chapter on all aspects of the campus visit alone is worth the price of this book." --Roger Dillow, Director of Admission, Friends Select School (Philadelphia, PA)

Independent School Management

Your private school's facilities and grounds often comprise the "first impression" visitors--including potential students and their families--experience of your institution. Proper facility design and maintenance are critical components in how your school is portrayed to constituents and the public, and reflect strongly on your overall program. Facilities Planning and and Maintenance for Private-Independent Schools pulls together key articles published by Independent School Management (ISM) addressing plant and campus management--from determining educational specifications for available classroom space to developing a campus master plan to envisioning your facility needs in coming decades, and much more. Here you will find the core principles for designing and maintaining your facilities and campus--preserving and enhancing your school's unique character and program! Learn how to: &gt; Establish cost-effective, sustainable building solutions &gt; Develop a checklist for a comprehensive long range property/facilities plan &gt; Perform a facilities audit &gt; Refine your deferred maintenance account &gt; Identify steps to improve security on your campus &gt; Provide for facilities rentals (and improve your auxiliary income &gt; Plan for and prepare your school grounds for outdoor learning opportunities

Facilities Planning and Maintenance for Private-Independent Schools: Second Edition

Tuition and financial aid are not about money. Tuition and financial aid are about mission. When consulting with a private school, Independent School Management always starts from the point of the school’s mission. This foundational statement—often further clarified by statements of values, philosophy, and educational practice—distinguishes any given school from its neighbors (public and private). It enables each school to have purpose—and be competitive!—within the marketplace. We gauge each school practice or policy against this mission to discover its importance: “Does this practice or policy further our mission or not?” Tuition and Financial Aid: A Guide for Private Schools introduces important management and leadership theory, as well as ISM research, that provides the backdrop enabling schools to support and sustain their missions. Given that school missions are about children (rather than faculty, administration, Boards, or others), the implication is that this theory and research answer the question about whether particular practices or policies are “good for children.” Tuition and Financial Aid does not—and cannot—tell you what your tuition rates should be. Nor does it tell you that a particular tuition rate is too “high” or too “low.” The book also does not dictate how much you should earmark for financial aid. It does, however, tell you what the real questions should be and the considerations that will impact those questions. Question 1: What is your mission? Question 2: What kind of school will deliver your mission? Question 3: How much money do you need to run that kind of school? Question 4: How many students do you have to provide that money? Tuition and Financial Aid is not about dollars and cents. It is about what your school is and how it communicates that to the secondary client—the parent. It is about what your school is and how it delivers excellence to the primary client—the student. It is about what your school promises through its admission process and how that promise is (or is not) kept in every program—from academics through cocurricular programs; through leadership programs; through the Business Office; and through development, constituent relations, and admission. We hope this book inspires you to have meaningful conversations about your school, and take the tuition and financial aid actions that enable you to have a sustainable and mission-appropriate future.
