Hi, I’m josh calder a 23 year old autodidactic scholar who went vegan at 17 years old. My childhood diet was extremely processed which left me with servers occasional stomach aches, fevers, and other conditions that made me feel emotions of pending doom. I went to an iridologist/naturopath doctor for a holistic diagnosis and got the answers I was looking for! Well not really what I wanted to hear, which was that if I continued making the life choices I was making while subscribing to a detrimental dietary regimen I would end up in an early grave. So I decided to go on a extensive detox and organ restoration protocol for a few months which had me feeling spiritually, mentally, and physically like a god, the feeling was immaculate. Nevertheless I was overwhelmed with how the diet and herbal products kicked my cravings for sugar and smoking. To this day changing my diet changed my life, and this is what led me to write this cook book and nutrition guide. I am certified in the field of human anatomy & physiology including pathology, iridology and sclerology, and I’m currently Perusing my certification in biochemistry, biology, and genetics. I take all the knowledge I have acquired over the past 6 and a half years and disseminate pure scientific facts to back my thesis on why we should transition to a plant-based diet. I hope you enjoy this cook book/nutrition guide because there will be many more to come.

About The End of the Tour by Misty Sizzles

Sarah Slater is a queen of the rock world, having spent two decades churning out heralded classic albums and getting encore after encore on her world famous tours. But something feels not quite right. After uncharacteristically reading a review of her latest release that calls her technically accomplished but claims her music lacks a fresh quality, Sarah finds herself hit with a midlife crisis. She requests her assistant Ashley come up with something particularly wild and crazy and most importantly new for her to do to prove her critics (and her own insecurities) wrong.

Ashley’s devotion to Sarah knows few bounds, being both a huge personal and professional fan of her, and as such she was prepared for this with a particularly audacious idea. She reveals a society she knows that would allow Sarah to be worshipped in an orgy with ten hot men all intent on pleasing her. Sarah surprises even herself by saying yes, and is even more surprised at everything she winds up gaining from this evening of unhinged hedonism.

About Just a Cowboy’s Convenient Marriage

A man who lost everything.

A woman squatting on a property that’s not hers.

An aunt who suggests a marriage of convenience.

When Smith Long strides into his new hometown, he doesn’t expect to get bowled over by a woman chasing her cow whom she claims has fallen in love with a pig. Doesn’t every small town have that one crazy person?

He’s not laughing later, though, when his aunt informs him that in order for him to receive the old, rundown property she’d promised him, he has to marry the crazy woman he’d hoped to never see again.

Abrielle Adams is squatting on a ranch outside of Sweet Water, North Dakota and hoping that she’ll get back on her feet before the heir shows up. Wishful thinking since she finds out that the man who’d kept her from catching her cow is the very person she was trying to avoid.

But now Abrielle has been offered the one thing she could really use – half ownership of the ranch she’s been “borrowing” – and all she has to do is marry a (grumpy, sour, and okay, handsome) stranger.

To both Abrielle and Smith, marriage is more than convenience and a vow is a lifetime commitment. Will they see how much they have in common and decide they need each other?

★★★★★ “This book was fantastic from start to finish! I love how it gives marriage advice and Christian living advice as part of the story. While fiction, it makes one think about one’s own behavior and actions. I loved how Arielle and Smith dealt with each other’s situations and behaviors even when they didn’t really know each other. A fantastic clean read. Jesse has done it again by writing a very fun book to read. It makes you laugh, surprises you, and holds your interest, all while having a great message! I can’t wait to read the next one!” – Nancy
