Have updated the kindle covers for the first year of Haunted: A Noir Series. Nothing wrong with the old covers at all and those will remain as the paperback covers, but for the kindle versions I wanted a similar design to show that the books are all a part of the same series. Pretty happy with these though!

So WutBJU has collected more information. This is from a local alumnus who attended a big confabulation yesterday at 29614.

Taking the TRUST out of Trustee

First, if you have no stake or interest in things relating to BJU, just keep scrolling. This won't interest you. I am posting this here because I expect it would be excluded from appearing on the BJU General Alumni page. (I may try anyway....)

I apologize in advance for the length of this post.

By now, many of you have seen the petition being circulated in support of Dr. Steve Pettit retaining his position as President of the university. At this writing, it has amassed over 5,200 signatures in two days, with hundreds taking time to write a testimony of how Dr. Pettit has had a positive impact in their lives personally, or on the school, or generally for the cause of Christ. It's been a tremendous outpouring of support - but petitions have never had much impact at BJU, and sadly, I suspect this one will be no different. Today I attended a general meeting at FMA (thousands in attendance) where Dr. Pettit did exactly what he needed to do: he humbly, calmly and graciously explained that the Board of Trustees - all well-meaning men and women - were engaged in the process that they are charged with (apparently every three years), that of appointing or re-appointing the university President according to the Board's procedural by-laws.

But there is more to the "procedural by-laws" story that precious few know about.

Up until not very long ago at all, the rules of the Board of Trustees required a majority vote (9 of 17) to affirm the re-appointment of a President. Then at a recent Board meeting it was “innocently” proposed that the requirement be changed from a simple majority to a two-thirds majority (12 of 17). Sure – why not? After all, what sitting President isn’t going to get a 2/3 majority approval from the Board? No harm. It sounded innocuous at the time, and the motion was passed...on to other matters.

Well, we now know that this procedural change was orchestrated by six Trustees who thus found a way to surreptitiously make their minority position more potent than it ever had been, and now these six – a one-third+ minority – hold the power to unseat a beloved leader and dramatically impact the direction of the University. Six people. I imagine they are proud of how they manipulated the system to their advantage. It was clever, arguably brilliant. It was effective. But in my mind, they’ve removed the “trust” from Trustee. This is not an insignificant detail to be quietly swept under the carpet. It matters.

The plea is for unity through this -- as it should be -- but when a mere six hold all the cards in defiance of eleven other Board members, and 5,200+ petitioners, where is unity...save in the resignation of the six?

I don't have a specific call to action, other than to pray that the conscience of at least one of the six will be pricked enough to reverse course. Secondly, share this with others who care; others who will also pray. As Dr. Pettit shared today, "All things work together for good to them that love God..."

And so it shall be.

So. six people. Who could that be? We know John Lewis, the CEO, was none too happy about the Fashion Show. If you collect the Board members from the Flint-Detroit hub and the Board members from the nearby Milwaukee hub, look what you get:

Dr. Dawn Akam, Menomonee Falls, Wis.

Dr. Hantz Bernard, Chair, Marketing & Development Committee, Caledonia, Mich.

Dr. Gary Cobb, Middletown, Ohio

Dr. Sam Dawson, Allen Park, Mich.

Dr. Mike Harding (Secretary/Treasurer), Chair, Academic Committee, Washington Township, Mich.

Dr. Joe Helm, Chair, Personnel & Plant Committee, Menomonee Falls, Wis.

Mr. Paul Kalmbach, Arlington, Ohio

Pastor Shawn Kook, Davison, Mich.

Dr. John Lewis (Chair), Davison, Mich.

Mr. Paul Matthews, Athens, Ala.

Mr. Jerry Morgan, Chair, Student Development & Discipleship Committee, Greenville, S.C.

Dr. Steve Pettit, Greenville, S.C.

Dr. Brian Priest, Perkasie, Pa.

Dr. Jean Saito, Greenville, S.C

Mr. Tim Stanley (Vice Chair), Chair, Finance & Audit Committee, Greenville, S.C.

Mr. Gary Thompson, Buffalo, Mo.

Dr. Bruce Woodworth, Knoxville, Tenn.

That's six. There's your six. And believe you me, Rust Belt types are exactly the kind of people who would do this kind of take-over.

OH how would the guys react to seeing reader in something sexy for the first time

omg i loved this - please send me some dylan characters and headcanons!

stiles: his jaw would quite literally drop to the floor, eyes staring shamelessly. you were probably going to a party and lydia gave you some unnecessary fashion advice, but you started rethinking just how necessary it really was when you saw stiles' reaction. he would have the equivalent of cartoon heart eyes, and an obvious trail of drool down his chin. constantly babbling about how good you looked, how beautiful you were. scott would need to give him wack over the head to break him out of his admiring daze.

mitch: this depends purely on the situation. if it were casual, he would wolf whistle loudly. probably make some small remark about how sexy you look, how he was desperate to get his hands all over you. holding your hand above your head and prompting you to twirl for him. if it were on a mission, however, he would stay silent but he can only control himself so much. you're undercover and he didn't expect the tight material, but he would stare, like really stare... especially at your ass. most likely thinking very dirty things.

thomas: the first thing he would do is curse under his breath, very taken aback. he would be drawn speechless after that, but it was his eyes that did all the talking. they trailed every single inch of you, slowly and with purpose. when he focused on a bit of skin you can guarantee that he would be biting down hard on his lip, trying to hold back a moan. thomas wouldn't be able to stop thinking how soft your skin would be, and you better believe that he has the image of you burnt in his mind forever.

stuart: he would need to be coaxed away from his phone or laptop screen, but damn, when he did he would forget that they even existed. his face would contort into a faux-drunken expression as he took you in - eyes blinking constantly, wondering if this was a dream. you'd be talking to him about going out with neha and some other friends, but he wasn't listening in all honesty, just absolutely mesmerised by how hot you looked. then he'd probably snap out of it and remind you to take one of his jackets to stop pervs from staring at you too.

joel: it'd be a hot day, a really hot day, as you wandered across the surface to get to jenner beach. joel would be ahead of you, face peering down at the map, talking aloud but mostly to himself. it wasn't until he turned around to ask you something that he saw that you had shed some layers - your jacket gone, shirt rolled up your torso, shorts cuffed even shorter. you were glistening from the heat and perspiration of the environment. he could hear boy barking at him, and he could see you reach out, but joel was so taken by how you looked that he didn't notice the hole behind him - one step too far, eyes focused on you, and joel fell deep, and hard (play on words, hehe).

sam: he first saw you standing across the bar from him - he'd definitely spoken to you before, in fact, you were one of his many tinder dates, but he never called you back. sam didn't remember that though as he drunk in your tight clothes that hugged you just right, and how your hips swayed as you walked, your body perfect as it stood before him. sam's obliviousness forced him over to you as he leaned on the bartop, tongue lapping at his lips, a silent groan settling in his chest. he threw a compliment your way, and next thing he knew, your drink was thrown back in his face.

richie: he would be so proud that his partner looked that good. it was a thing of richie's to focus on appearances - he had to, always being in the spotlight. not to be mistaken though with the fact that he loves you for being you, your kindness and huge heart is what captured his. but he never would've expected your clothing to be that figure-hugging, especially within this day and age of conservative, but expensive, dressing. you were both at a gathering and richie definitely showed you off, you were his and he wanted everyone to know it. after enough gawking, though, he took off his coat and draped it over your shoulders - not to be removed until later tonight, in his bedroom.

Haunted: A Noir Series A.I. Art!

Took several tries, but I'm pretty happy with these.

Sam, Sugar, Jean and Awan!

Link to my author page on amazon with links to all my books if you haven't read the series. It's a horror/noir novella series, designed to be TV show like. 4 stories every year, every fourth story is double the length as the "season finale", the other three are around an hour to read. Planned as a 5 year story.

In order they go: Haunt, Howl, Bite, Son and Asylum is the latest.

The primary protagonist is Sam Dawson, a paranormal private investigator, who's son Thomas went missing 10 years previous. Sam vowed never to let what happened to him happen to another and has a thirst for paranormal knowledge.

Jocelyn "Sugar" Morrison is the other primary protagonist. She starts the series as a beat reporter for the Harrisburg Courier and is helpful to Sam. They develop a friendship and then, well, you'll see!

Jean Romey is the main antagonist of the first season of the story. She's the femme fatale. She upends Sam's life multiple times, shaking it to the core.

Awan is one of Sam's best friends, a local park ranger and always has his friends back.

And that's just some of the cast of characters from the first year of the story.

So check it out if you haven't, all the stories are on kindle unlimited, so they're free if you have that. Individual stories are .99 on kindle, Son is 1.99, but are available in paperback as well. Then the first season is collected as well in paperback, hardback and kindle!

How would the characters react to their partner who is usually smiley and happy, stop smiling because of a bad day or something happened

please send me some dylan characters and headcanons! TEMPORARILY CLOSED

stiles: the moment he sees your saddened face, his would drop too. your smile would be his driving force and without it, all energy would be drained. stiles would be desperate to know the source of what made you lose your sparkle but he also knew that comfort needs to come first, and questions asked later. stiles loves hugs - so immediately, you would be wrapped within his arms and he would hold you until he deemed enough. if you cried, his hand would rub your back. if you were just dejected, he would whisper stupid jokes in your ear until you laughed. he wouldn't try using his detective skills on what made you upset until he knew you were looked after.

mitch: if you were his work partner, mitch wouldn't know what to do if you were sad. usually, you were kickass and didn't let anything bother you, keeping your emotions at bay like the CIA taught you both so well to do. you would finish a mission, and the relief wouldn't be evident as it usually was - and that was mitch's first clue. he wouldn't ask what was wrong, but probably pat your shoulder awkwardly, and try to distract you with promises of drinks or packing up your belongings for the jet ride home. if you were his lover, he would feel emotional distress of his own seeing you upset. he would hold you tight, and try to coax out the reason for your sadness. if it was a person, mitch would definitely handle it.

thomas: he had spent so long making sure everybody was safe and happy in the safe haven, so it was only natural that his determination continued if he saw you downhearted. thomas wouldn't ask why until you were ready, but he would try to distract you. he'd probably convince you to go on a run with him to clear your mind, stopping for a break at one of the small cliffsides up the mountain as you both took in the view. he'd try to make you smile and happy, then probably make a comment like 'there's that smile I've been missing'. after a while, he would ask what was wrong. and despite possible protests, he would do whatever he could to make sure he could resolve it.

stuart: he didn't have the best social skills, and probably wouldn't notice you were sad until someone else mentioned it and it caught his attention. he would be awkward around the situation, but he wasn't heartless. stuart just rolling his seat over to yours and sitting silently until you looked over to him - he would smile nervously, probably reach out to lightly pat you shoulder and it would make your face screw up in confusion. but he wouldn't leave you as he started making small talk, asking if you needed anything, or wanted help with work. stuart wouldn't ask what was wrong but he would try be be accommodating, and that was more than enough for you.

joel: he is extremely empathetic - if you were upset, he would be on you in seconds asking what happened. joel would want to know so he could figure out the best way to make you feel better. you need comfort? sit back and he would make you some soup to 'warm your soul'. you need consolation? he would stick to your side, hugging you or just holding you to him as he rocked you slowly. you want to be left alone? he understood that, and he would let you cool off but he wouldn't be far away as he observed to make sure you were alright. joel would never be too far away... as long as he would be able to make you smile again.

sam: sam would begin with being slightly anxious - a part of him would worry if he did something wrong, the other part would be about whether he could fix whatever was wrong. this aspect of him drove gentle questioning about what led to you being upset, and once he knew the answer, he jumped straight into caring protective mode. he would have careful movements as he held you, or led you to a comfortable place. sam getting you a warm drink to give you a bit of pep, or if you are incredibly upset he would make you drink a glass of cold water to calm your nerves. he would assess whether you need to talk it through, and act accordingly.

richie: richie doesn't always think rationally, which is why anger would be at the forefront of his mind. the fact that something or someone made you upset was utterly appalling, and they needed to be taken down. he would find out what happened, and either send someone to deal with it on behalf of him as he looked after you, or he would go deal with it himself so that they felt the despair that provoked you to collapse sad and upset in his arms. he never showed this side of him in public, but behind closed doors he would absolutely dote over you - loving hugs and reassurance, a soft tender side that only came out for you. whispering sweet nothings in your ear, and promises like 'they will think twice next time they decide to mess with my girl again'.

yet another amv this time set to the beer by kimya dawson <3

[echos-muses]

i will literally never be over how peter mills is the one who went to hold matt after he got the news that hallie died. not even gabby could do it, but peter did it without hesitation. even though he felt some type of way towards casey, he went to comfort him when someone he loved and almost married died. everyone else was so shocked and didn’t know what to do, but peter? peter mills’s gut instinct was to put his personal feelings aside and comfort someone who he thought was making his life at work hell on purpose because he was with gabby. peter mills who instantly took in a puppy because it would’ve been drowned otherwise. peter mills who always tried to get people to smile. peter mills who lovingly cooked for everyone. i will never ever ever not love peter mills so much. he was such a great addition to the show. he was empathetic, kind, hard-working, ambitious, caring, determined. i love chicago fire so fucking bad, this show has genuinely made me sob so many times, so many ways, for so many different reasons.

Your Delena moment was the dance, mine was "coming after elena? bad move. you leave her alone or I will rip you to bits because I do believe in killing the messenger. you know why? because it sends a message"

I am a simple girl I see mean man go feral for his girl and brain goes brrrrrr

also damon was a softy wrapped in a serial killer and stefan was a serial killer wrapped in a softy and ngl but I prefer my serial killers to be upfront you know?

THIS. EXACTLY. I don't trust men who pretend to be so virtuous and upstanding. You never know what you'll find when they shed that sheep skin. I like my men with their red flags waving high! I wanna see them coming from miles away and giggle because red is my favorite color.
