Something new and important is afoot. Nonprofit and philanthropic organizations are under increasing pressure to do more and to do better to increase and improve productivity with fewer resources. Social entrepreneurs, community-minded leaders, nonprofit organizations, and philanthropists now recognize that to achieve greater impact they must adopt a network-centric approach to solving difficult problems. Building networks of like-minded organizations and people offers them a way to weave together and create strong alliances that get better leverage, performance, and results than any single organization is able to do. While the advantages of such networks are clear, there are few resources that offer easily understandable, field-tested information on how to form and manage social-impact networks. Drawn from the authors’ deep experience with more than thirty successful network projects, Connecting to Change the World provides the frameworks, practical advice, case studies, and expert knowledge needed to build better performing networks. Readers will gain greater confidence and ability to anticipate challenges and opportunities. Easily understandable and full of actionable advice, Connecting to Change the World is an informative guide to creating collaborative solutions to tackle the most difficult challenges society faces.

New Yorker Faith Astor is a successful fashion photographer. Living in Manhattan and parading glamorous parties, she seems to have it all, yet nothing could be further from the truth. When a female personal trainer shows up on New Year's Day, she regrets booking the kickstart session in a drunken haze, but the woman likes a challenge and won't take no for an answer. After years of struggling with an eating disorder, Silva Carter finally has her life back on track. With a careful balance of exercise, healthy living, and a strict routine, she keeps her anxiety at bay, but breaking her ankle forces her to let go of the control she so desperately needs. When she's unable to tackle the staircase in her apartment, her beautiful client Faith offers Silva her spare bedroom for the duration of her recovery, and they soon learn they have more in common than they realized. Faith is fascinated by her cute trainer, who seems to understand her better than anyone else, and for the first time, she finds herself attracted to a woman. But after a run-in on a high-profile photoshoot, that could be the least of her worries.

I'm visiting my friend Tessa who lives in New Orleans and we've just been busted for gate-crashing a masked party after Tessa pretends to know Countess Montgomery, the mysterious hostess. A charming and devilishly attractive stranger saves us from humiliation and ushers us inside, and it soon becomes clear that this is not the kind of party I was expecting. Things are getting heated and the atmosphere is unconventional to say the least, but so is my hostess, the Phantom, who drives me to my limits in a private room upstairs.When identities are hidden, nothing is what it seems, and only time will reveal what lies beneath when the mask finally drops...

That is, until I meet her.When a mysterious woman buys me a drink at a hotel bar in New York, I never expect her to impact my life the way she does. From the moment she lays eyes on me there's little point fighting my desires because she seems to know them better than I do...The Good Girl is the naughty debut novella by Madeleine Taylor, author of lesbian erotica.
