Throughout history the long lost Cube has been sought after by emperors, popes, and caliphs alike. It is believed to be a container of knowledge; a holy vessel capable of emancipating humanity from the confines of earthly mortality.

Under the apocalyptic shadow of global unrest and rampant natural disasters, Gabriel and Natasha battle to prevent this sinister blight from being unleashed. With nothing but a tattered journal to guide them, they race from Italy to Morocco, and finally to the mountains of Northern Spain where they must locate a Lost Labyrinth spoken of by the ancients. There, deep in a Sacred Chamber, they will find salvation for mankind, but not without a price. A cosmic clock is ticking. It marks the world's entry into the oblivion of the Dark Rift, and the final days that remain.

The Bulls of War (Book I of the epic fantasy series Chronicles of the Andervold Thrones) by E.M. Thomas
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J0AXB74

“They say all the land is tinder; it braces for a spark.”

With that, you take the first steps into The Bulls of War, Book 1 of the Chronicles of the Andervold Thrones, the new epic fantasy series from E.M. Thomas.  Laden with flavors of Ancient Rome in a world all its own, The Bulls of War follows two lifelong friends in their struggle to save a homeland which is coming apart at the seams.

So it was in the ancient land of Andervold, where the Rokhish Empire maintains a fragile truce with hated Valogar.  The tenuous state of affairs has split the Imperial Capital into hostile power-brokering factions: Sudos fighting to keep the peace, Nortics seeking renewed battle at any cost.  From the highest minister to the lowest merchant, everyone has to pick a side eventually, lest the side be chosen for them - the most dangerous option of all.

Kyrus and Tyghus learn this lesson the hard way.  Although they are veterans of battlefields a thousand miles south, the men are no match for the Capital’s ruthless statesmen, unwittingly finding themselves pulled by opposite sides of the factional divide.  Tensions rise, loyalties fray, and hearts are broken, all as words of peace become drowned out by the drumbeats of war.  As the men grasp at the remnants of their fleeting friendship, the Empire lurches toward a conflict that could tear it asunder.

The Bulls of War is a sweeping tale of love and war, honor and betrayal, life and death, set in a realm whose glory days seem long past.

Tom Tanner, the crime-scene-cleaning virtuoso of L.A. Rotten—hailed by Dianne Emley as “eloquent, profound, hilarious, and redemptive”—is going Hollywood. Because a psychopathic movie producer is planning a bloody blockbuster . . . with Tom in a starring role.

Tom Tanner has a dark past but he’s no murderer. Unfortunately, Mikey Echo—the spoiled son of the most powerful man in Hollywood—seems to think otherwise. After a young actor suffers an untimely demise out a thirty-fourth-floor window, handsome ex-con Tom is summoned to scrub the splatter below. At the scene, he learns that producer Mikey has an indecent proposal to make—and for Tom, that means signing a deal with the devil.

Now Tom just wants this mad prince of Tinseltown to leave him alone. But the fatalist within braces for the inevitable: To get Mikey Echo off his back, someone must die.

Contrary to the dazzling wealth, glitz and glamour portrayed in the media, the Upper East Side of Manhattan is not only glass penthouses hedge fund managers, and $500 dinners.

There are also ordinary side streets where hard-working singles rent, where roommates split expenses, where elderly women live orderly lives. For many of them, home means a loving animal, the steadfast presence that shares a life, hears a secret, heals a hurt, claims the heart.

That's how it is for long-term resident Rosa Bassetti. There is no better friend than Princess, her arthritic Poodle. Rosa's neighbor, Eileen Hargan, feels the same about Fibber, McGee, her little Boston Terrier. Strangers at first, the two senior citizens become friends as they meet while walking their dogs, come sun, rain, or snow.

Their peaceful routine is shattered when Eileen receives an anonymous note demanding money, threatening to kidnap or hurt her dog if she doesn't pay. A dangerous criminal? Cruel prankster? Rosa is determined to find out.

Played out against Manhattan's aging brownstones, tree-lined streets and pre-war buildings, CONNECTIONS brings together an intriguing cast of New Yorkers--a same-sex couple, a tough social worker finding love, a troubled boy, a lonely office manager--who all come together through their love for animals, and join forces against a terrifying menace.

Author Jacqueline Wein writes with warmth, subtle wit, and intimate knowledge of the powerful bonds we share with our four-legged families. Sometimes, it is our beloved pets that help us to get through life's difficult experiences. But, as CONNECTIONS never lets us forget, the ultimate connection is with each other.

Being tall can open many doors in life. The trick is not knocking your noggin on the way through. You see, while tall people are thought to be smarter, wealthier, stronger, and happier, it is these that block the view of the many challenges including greater injuries, higher cancer rates which contribute to decreased longevity, and many social issues including the difficulty tall women face in dating. Tall Life takes a multidisciplinary and scientific approach in coming to understand and, where possible, contributing towards the resolution of these problems. While tall people will benefit most from this book, it is also a contribution to the understanding of tall stature, and more broadly, height in general.

Escape From Freedom - an Orwellian concept of a government putting political dissenters in concentration camps by Robert Allen Bradford
https://www.amazon.com/Escape-Freedom-Robert-Bradford-ebook/dp/B004OR1MOI

Concentration camps in California? It has happened before and could happen again. The time is ten years in the future. Political turmoil and small wars are globally common. Plagues and famine are commonplace. Diseases are prevalent at all levels of society, especially sexually transmitted ones such as AIDS and the variations that have developed from it. Paranoia and distrust run high among people as the media spreads lies and fear. Due to our political system playing off that fear, the United States has established a total health system to a degree more invasive of human rights and more savagely enforced than could have been imagined during the plague of the Middle Ages. We are entering our story shortly after the passage of a Federal health-protection law which provides for mandatory testing and reporting requirements, as well as penalties for infected persons and even minor dissenters of the system in addition to establishment of concentration camps and even, secretly, executions for the main spokesmen of the Resistance. Bernie, who heads the Resistance, is arrested by Federal agents and taken to a concentration camp where both diseased inmates and anti-government resistance leaders are kept. When Rick learns of this, he appeals to his father to use his political connections to get Bernie out, totally unaware that his father is a strong supporter of the system that put him there.

“If our eyes are the windows of our soul, then our emotions are the voice of our soul.” 
~ Jenny Florence.

If you are interested in deepening your emotional awareness and in developing your emotional intelligence in ways that enhance conscious co-creative living, then this book is for you. It is a drop of peace in the ocean of our busy lives.

--> Do you understand the role that your emotions play in your capacity for free will and conscious living?
--> Are you interested in the power of conscious choice?
--> Do you feel as though you are in charge of the decisions that you make in your life, of navigating your own journey?

Designed to be read in just 10-15 minutes a day for 7 days, this deeply philosophical and highly transformational book guides readers through a 7-day journey of emotional discovery and expanding spiritual relatedness. Each day, practical and pragmatic suggestions integrated with emotional insight deepen our understanding and awareness of the way in which empathy sits in relationship with spirituality and emotional intelligence, supporting us in enriching the quality of our personal well-being, our relationships and our everyday lives.

Our emotions sit at the core of our ability to build successful, healthy relationships in all areas of our lives. They play a key role in our self-development and in our ability to navigate our lives through conscious choice and conscious intention.

Empathy isn’t simply a listening ear and something that we can offer others. In essence, true empathy is a state of being; a way of living that opens a pathway of spiritual relatedness with life itself.

Spiritual empathy transforms our ability to relate with our full experience of life at a level of mindful and conscious awareness; awareness of ourselves, of others, and awareness of a greater, universal intelligence of which we are an integral and dynamic part.

This is the first in a series of books about the intelligence of our emotions, each written to support and enable deepening layers of relational growth and understanding. Florence invites readers on a journey of self-discovery, beautifully combining conceptual knowledge of emotional intelligence with practical and pragmatic application.

The format of the book is deliberate. Its bite-sized chapters make it accessible, easy to read and translatable into a kind of emotional toolkit that can pragmatically help to integrate emotional awareness into daily living in ways that will enhance all aspects of who we are and who we wish to become.

"A beautifully written book that will be an invaluable resource for anyone interested in learning more about themselves.  I particularly like her daily 'invitations'. Jenny's book is accessible, practical and inspiring."  ~ Juliet Grayson: Psychotherapist and Author

Drawing on her extensive experience as a therapist, Jenny Florence’s books are a journey of self-awareness, connecting the intelligence and creative capacity of our mind with emotional knowledge and understanding.  She has a unique ability to talk about the complexities of our mind and emotions in a language that is accessible and without jargon.

Jenny has worked as a counselor and therapist for over 25 years, having trained in a variety of therapeutic modalities. She has listened to people of all ages, men, women, couples and individuals, each one unique and individual, on their own unique and individual journey. In her experience, she has determined where the majority of us, herself included, seem to struggle most in our lives is intrinsically connected to our emotions. Our childhood, families, relationships, life events and everyday happenings all leave their mark, and that mark is an emotional one.

“We cannot change our past but we can change our relationship to our past. In doing so, we create change within our present, which changes the shape of our future. If we work on the premise that we are the source of change, it becomes clear that we will need to listen to ourselves without fear or judgment.”

Our emotions are a powerful, human commodity. They can be our strongest, most supportive ally or they can disable us, leaving us feeling blocked, out of control and in pieces. Jenny believes it is our ability to listen and decide that will make the difference between a breakthrough or a break down.

Vonnie Davis welcomes readers to Wounded Warrior Falls! In this sizzling contemporary series, broken heroes meet women worth fighting for—and discover the healing power of love.

Navy SEAL Dustin Frank can handle physical pain; it’s his soul that needs mending. After losing part of his leg in an explosion, the panic triggered by his PTSD nearly drives him over the edge. So Dustin retreats to the Eagle Ridge Ranch, a charming hideaway tucked into the Hill Country of Texas. There he finds solace in the arms of a shy beauty who reawakens desires he thought he’d lost forever—and who makes him want to lose control, just when he needs it most.

Kelcee Todd sees beyond Dustin’s scars to the real man beneath: fiercely protective, strong yet tender. She wants nothing more than to feel his battle-hardened hands on her body. However, Kelcee is not the ordinary small-town girl she appears to be. Her brother is a killer with ties to the Russian mob, and after her testimony put him in prison, he’s out and eager for revenge. Now Dustin is her best defense, even if it could cost him everything. Kelcee could never ask him to make that sacrifice . . . but she can’t stop him, either.

From the author of Hidden Heat (“Filled with action, deception, and emotional and sexual tension.”—Publishers Weekly), the Brothers of Mayhem MC rides again in an explosive novel of wounded hearts and undeniable heat.

Forget shining armor. Motorcycle shop owner Mary Jane Parker could use a knight in black leather right about now. A local gang has been extorting her for protection money, and standing her ground would be a lot easier with the Brothers of Mayhem at her back. She just needs to convince the club’s new president to take the job. The powerful, brooding biker claims he’s not interested—but if his version of tough love is supposed to be punishment, Mary Jane would gladly misbehave for the rest of her life.

Storm Ryder has no interest in rescuing anyone but himself. He spent three agonizing years in prison, and there’s no way in hell he’s going back, not over a spoiled rich girl who’s flirting with trouble. So why does he find himself craving Mary Jane’s lips—and holding her close when he should be pushing her away? Deep down in his tortured soul, Storm knows she’ll be there for him. And when Mary Jane needs him most, he’ll find the courage to give her everything he’s got.

THIS BOOK IS FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT (OR NEED) ANSWERS

Unlike any other book on the topic of addiction, this one is truly groundbreaking and amazingly unique. It is not so much about opinions or theories, as it is about the proper and accurate application of our new scientific evidence – for the benefits they hold.

Through the examination of past and current scientific discoveries, we now hold the answers to all the perplexing and puzzling questions posed to us by chemical addictions; however, there still remains a resistance to its use in clinical practice.

This book seeks to address this resistance by providing an understanding of addiction that is truly revolutionary. One that is founded in clinical study and cannot be denied on the basis of belief alone. It puts an end to all the confusion currently in the field and seeks to unite us all in the fight against chemical addictions. It is founded on the principle that through greater understanding, there will come better treatment outcomes; and thus, reduce the need for multiple treatment episodes. This is something the field of addiction is in dire need of, and now is the time to put it to use.

His book contains vitally important explanations for people with addictions; explanations that all people need to know if the stigma of addiction is ever going to be extinguished. They are especially important to those with addictions because of the power they hold in their ability to reduce shame and guilt, conquer episodes of doubt, and provide a solid foundation for a complete, unwavering, and satisfying recovery.

Therefore, if you are a person with an addiction; a person affected by the addiction of another; a clinician in the field; or a student in any field of human service, then this is the book for you. You need not look any further. The future is right here.

The Nephilim’s Worst Nightmare – Rocket Babe

Rocket Babe – Fallen Angel is the second edition in a series of classic 1960's style science fiction tales. A story of aliens, space, rockets, fighting men and a beautiful woman like the girl next door. All laced with dark intrigue, humor and love.

Only a few months after fighter pilot Captain Verna Starr, call sign, Rocket Babe, led DSSF to victory on Mars all alien abductions ceased. The first interplanetary strike by humans had been almost flawless and provided a window of opportunity for DSSF to gain strength, but soon it looked as though their victory would be short lived. A small number of the Greys survived and while no longer a threat to Earth on their own, their allies, an ancient race believed to be the descendants of fallen angels known as the Nephilim, would soon prove a much greater threat to mankind.

Enraged by the attack, the Nephilim were moving rapidly to avenge the Greys. Their leader, Anakim, now bore a deep seeded hatred for all humans and DSSF but above all he had an overwhelming desire to possess and punish the only woman that had ever dared to defy him. In retaliation he meant to bring a firestorm upon Earth like mankind had never seen before.

Now in command of fighter squadron SF-1, Jolly Rogers, Rocket Babe and her pilots race to intercept Anakim before he reaches Earth. But if the Nephilim leader can defeat DSSF he will own the entire solar system and rule every life form, including a captured Rocket Babe who would be forced to watch the destruction of everything and everyone she loves, as his slave.

Suitable for all audiences, the Rocket Babe series is frequently described as fun, light reading, that is hard to put down.

National Parks: What happens, in the near future, when Congress plans to bail out a bankrupt America by selling the national parks to the highest bidders by Rolf Margenau

National Parks: What happens, in the near future, when Congress plans to bail out a bankrupt America by selling the national parks to the highest bidders by Rolf Margenau
https://www.amazon.com/National-Parks-Congress-bankrupt-national-ebook/dp/B01FSZHY3W

The best book for lovers of semi-dystopian, satirical send ups of political malfeasance, corporate greed, and threats to America's environment. Rolf Margenau skewers all available targets in Washington's beltway in his story about what happens a few years from now when Congress wants to bail out a bankrupt America (caused by legislative ineptitude) by selling our national parks to the highest bidders. This is a slap the table funny book that also encourages the reader to appreciate the glory of our national parks and worry about their potential loss.

Some characters from the author's earlier books reappear, and  new ones include the deliciously corrupt Crouch triplets; the beautiful lobbyist, Tureen O'Porto (deficient of conscience); Sneath Naydir, closet toe fetishist, early adopter of all things digital, and lobbyist; Melvin Salmon, genius computer maven who creates a pornographic avatar app that makes him a millionaire; Benjamin Franklin Chang, Hong Kong billionaire gangster who lusts for the Smoky Mountain National Park; and other surprising people you might recognize (or be).

The activities of legislators are reported as though "ripped from the headlines" of tomorrow. They act pretty much as they do now. That is, ineffective, argumentative, and inactive. It's business as usual.
