Ben and Shiloh - Inman, John

. .

Résumé :
A Belladonna Arms Novel Shiloh Smart is alone and looking for a fresh start. Convinced he's finished with love forever, he signs a lease at the Belladonna Arms, a tacky, run-down apartment building situated high on a hill in downtown San Diego. Determined to turn his back on romance, Shiloh works hard at carving out a life for himself where love doesn't stand a chance and staying single is all that matters. Then his drag queen landlord's nephew, Ben Moss, moves in. Thanks to a rumor Ben has heard since childhood of a fifty-year-old crime and a fortune in stolen money, he sets out to find the loot supposedly hidden decades ago in his uncle's apartment building. The minute Ben spots a kilted Shiloh toddling off to work at the Scottish restaurant up the street where he waits tables, he falls hard and fast for the aloof young redhead. Even a hidden treasure can't compete in Ben's eyes with the beautiful waiter with the fiery copper hair. But even while he diligently works to break down Shiloh's defenses, Ben doesn't give up his quest for buried treasure. Soon, as their friendship deepens, the two young men join forces in a search for the stolen cash. As the treasure hunt gathers steam and all the tenants get involved, Ben and Shiloh come to realize the greatest treasure isn't buried in the Belladonna Arms at all. It's buried far deeper-in each other's hearts!

Biographie:
Dr. Inman has been blessed with both gifted and deficit exceptionalities. He grew up believing he was broken and in need of fixing, a frame of mind that has haunted him his whole life. He did not realize he had gifts until conducting research for his doctorate in education. Rather than just experience the impact of being 2e, Dr. Inman decided to do something about the experience other children have growing up feeling broken and in need of fixing. This work is the outcome of that mission. With a deep understanding of how humans organize into communities, how humans communicate through dialogue to create meaningful and lasting change, and how humans of all ages learn, grow and contribute to the world, he helps educators of all types come together to craft their unique paths forward to transform how children and adults learn. Dr. Inman grew up unable to read the way his school system taught, methods unchanged in 55 years, and understands how so many children wither in the predominant education systems. His work is founded on the concept of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and any strategy that helps move a school system toward teaching the way children learn vs. forcing children to learn how the teacher teaches is of interest. Dr. Inman embraces learning strategies that include traditional Indigenous learning, andragogy, flipped classrooms, cognitive processes design, green inspired classrooms (SEED), multiple pathways, systems thinking, cluster-grouped classrooms, technology-assisted learning, situated learning, and scenario-based learning. He helps education communities design their transformation approach based on these and any number of other strategies. Dr. Inman earned his doctorate in educational leadership for change from Fielding Graduate University in 2015 and currently is the founding faculty for the applied management bachelors' program at Tacoma Community College in Tacoma Washington.
