Without a dowry, Lady Jane knew not to count on her looks to land her a husband. When her mother summons her back to London and she receives a proposition from an Earl she’s never met, she wonders what sort of man would send someone to propose on his behalf?

Certainly the beauty his friend brings to his country estate could not fit this description. Edward must get rid of her and fast…before he falls in love with a beauty who could never return the affections of a beastly earl.

About Facilitating Balance by Dr. Mudassar Hussain

This book offers many practical tools to optimise our well being by: understanding our heart’s reaction to stress and how to minimise its impact, processing emotional trauma through meditation, becoming aware of natural cycles in the day, understanding how different foods impact on our mood and function; understanding basic principles of the complementary health model of Ayurveda.

The complementary Ayurveda section explores a person’s constitution and predispositions, allowing a better understanding of us as individuals and how to optimise functioning using diet and activities. The book also looks at breaks, therapeutic use of light, food supplements, omega-3 fatty acids, alcohol, drugs, conflict resolution and sleep.

This book is written by Dr Mudassar Hussain, a UK based general practitioner with training in Ayurvedic medicine and mental health. It comes with a guided meditation audio available as a download at the end of the meditation chapter. The guided meditation technique has been used effectively in various settings, allowing most people to learn to meditate after one session. People often think they cannot meditate because their mind will not be still, meditation actually helps your mind to process what it needs to, so it can then become quiet. It also helps you to watch your mind from a quiet place, i.e. practice mindfulness. Meditation is also shown to have a number of physiological and mental health benefits.

About Sex in the Name of God by Wilfred Knight

From the first nudist colony to the pearly gates, the bible has sexcapades aplenty. Yet, numerous scenarios unfold with conflicting information including laws on monogamy and polygamy, rules against homosexuality alongside blatantly gay tales, and warnings about sexual immorality amid pornographic ramblings. Enjoy the real stories, with a hefty side of humor, in this fun and easy read that is also strangely informative.

Author Bio:
Wilfred enjoys writing, dry humor, and sarcasm when used correctly. He is intrigued by the likes of religious scientists, cult members who claim they aren’t brainwashed, and comedians who can joke about politics, race, and gender without ticking off half the audience.
This high school drop-out and college graduate may be found playing computer card games, minesweeping, blogging, or petting his purring pooch outside of watching way too much television.
In writing this book, Wilfred tried to refrain from anti-biblical views to keep the subject matter funny, but failed on occasion. As such, Wilfred feels the bible should be viewed more as a historical text and not a current guideline, as there are better lessons to be learned from Aesop’s Fables.

About Forging of a Knight

The first book in the Forging of a Knight series! Ebook version now on sale for the spooky season for .99 cents 10/6-10/14!

A battle against the forces of Those That Stand in Shadow brings an end to an old hero and a beginning for a new one. Together with a half-orcne thief named Glaive, a young warrior named Qualtan must battle through undead hordes, shape-shifting maugs, hungry trolls, and more on his journey to become a knight. Along the way, he learns the world isn’t as simple as he first thought. Good and evil are not always what they seem, close friends can be deadly enemies, and loyalty can sometimes be rewarded with treachery. Even if Qualtan can grow from these lessons, a greater one will need to be faced: can an unexpected friendship with a thief of orcne blood, despised by all, support his chance for knighthood, or ruin it altogether?

About The Shortcut To Melody Creation

Learn how to instantly create riffs hooks and vocal melodies with the backing chords at the same time.

This book dispels the myths of songwriting and destroys the negatives that hold songwriters back.

We’ve all read books on songwriting or seen the questions, where do i start or how do i write a song, where do i put my fingers next, or how do i progress a melody, and then you get the usual recycled generic answers, such as fawm write a song every 2 days during the month of February, persevere, keep a hook book, go to music college learn theory write for 10,000 hours, don’t go to sleep the night before you write a song, because you’ll be more creative when your tired etc. you’ll see these little snippets in books and scattered all over the internet. But these are not the answers you are looking for.

Then you might do all of these things and find they don’t work and you might even go to music college but then on your first day at college. When your expecting to learn how to start creating vocal melodies. The thoughts of why am i here start to enter your mind.

Abstract from book

“Pupil says to mentor, I know you’re going to teach me how to write better songs, but how do I come up with the actual melody.
The mentor turns to the pupil and says. “well, that’s the million dollar question. I wish I could just say, sit there with your guitar do this, and out will pop a melody. But unfortunately, there’s no such thing as a magic formula”. This isn’t true.

Let’s blow the other myth out of the water. The one where they say composing cannot be taught. Well, I’ve just learned you how to create 3 vocal melodies in a combined time of less than 15 seconds in the examples in the tutorial video that comes with this book. 2 of them sold over 30 million copies. Usually it only takes a few seconds to hear the new melody being born. Now you can teach your friends and family how to compose a melody in less than 10 minutes. Even if they’ve never composed a melody before. And not just any melody but catchy hit melodies.

In this book you won’t learn how to write lyrics or theory or any of the other recycled generic answers mentioned above.
But what you will learn is how to sit down with your guitar or at your piano, do this and out will pop a vocal melody with the backing chords at the same time.

This book ends songwriters block in melody
See my author page on amazon for the books video trailer to see just how easy it is to compose hit vocal melodies with the backing chords at the same time, in seconds.

About Beyond the Numbers: 5 Key Factors that Impact an Entrepreneur’s Success by Larry Brummond

While strong finances and operational processes (the numbers) are essential for any business, entrepreneurs need tools and strategies that go beyond the numbers. Life-long entrepreneur, Larry Brummond, discovered 5 factors that have little to do with the numbers, but can have just as great an impact on the success of a business:
1. Personality – What’s your best role: partner or sole proprietor?
2. Responsibility – How’s your work/life balance?
3. Goals – Do you know where you’re going and how to get there?
4. Values – What’s your uncompromisable core value?
5. Attitude – It’s contagious; has your team caught it?

About The Fall of The Phoenix

The long siege of Troy, the battles fought over it, and the city’s eventual capitulation and incineration are events which have often been retold since their first recitation by Homer. Seldom, however, will they have been narrated with such close attention to the minute particulars of battle, to its reek and terror and pain, as in this startling account by Daniel Kelly. Kelly looks minutely at every detail of archaic combat, as well as at the lives and feelings shaped by it. His Troy is not only a scene of shining glory, but also a grimy struggle for survival and mastery. And he introduces surprising questions: what if not everything in the Trojan war came to pass just as Homer tells us? What if the future of the Roman empire were hidden in the burning ashes of Troy’s – and not in the way we might expect?

About God’s Daughter by Heather Day Gilbert

“The life of Vikings in North America is energetically described, and the entire cast of characters feel fresh and vivid, including Leif Ericson and Gudrid’s father-in-law Eric the Red…a remarkably assured tale, well-recommended.” ~ Historical Novel Society Reviews, May 2014

One Viking woman. One God. One legendary journey to North America.

In the tenth century, when pagan holy women rule the Viking lands, Gudrid turns her back on her training as a seeress to embrace Christianity. Clinging to her faith, she joins her husband, Finn, on a journey to North America.

But even as Gudrid faces down murderous crewmen, raging sickness, and hostile natives, she realizes her greatest enemy is herself–and the secrets she hides might just tear her marriage apart.

Almost five centuries before Columbus, Viking women sailed to North America with their husbands. God’s Daughter, Book One in the Vikings of the New World Saga, offers an expansive yet intimate look into the world of Gudrid Thorbjarnardottir–daughter-in-law of Eirik the Red, and the first documented European woman to have a child in North America.

About Through the Hostage by J C Steel

Khyria Ilan is a commander in the Cortii, the most elite mercenary organisation in known space. With a past she can’t remember, and commanders who would love to see her dead, her future is likely to be short: her command faces their ultimate test to prove their right to survive.

When the odds are impossible, sometimes the only thing to do is play the game …

——————————

Through the Hostage has been described as complex, exciting, and compelling, and is currently averaging 4 stars on Amazon.

While I won’t lie to you and tell you this is a nice, simple, open-and-shut story about good triumphing over evil, most readers seem to be enjoying a non-standard read. I hope you will too.

My characters are fighters, schemers, and survivors, and the galaxy they inhabit is an eclectic mix of cultures and species. (For reference, our nearest neighbours are perfectly well aware of the existence of Earth: we’re just too much trouble to contact when there’s still an off-chance we might exterminate ourselves and leave a nice empty planet to colonise.)

—————————

Reader notes: I use British English, and the book references adult themes including violence, drugs, alcohol, and physical intimacy.

Author Bio:
Born in Gibraltar and raised on a yacht around the coasts of the Atlantic, I’m an author, martial artist, and introvert. In between the necessary making of money to allow the writing of more books, I can usually be found stowing away on a spaceship, halfway to the further galaxy.

Science-fiction and urban fantasy are my favourite genres to write in. I grew up on a rich diet of Anne McCaffrey, Tolkien, Dorothy Dunnett, and Jack Higgins, and finally started to write my own books aged fourteen. I can’t point the finger at any one book or author that set me in my current direction, but I blame my tendency to write characters who favour drastically practical solutions on some mix of those. If I can toss in a bit of gender- and genre-bending, so much the better. Status quo is boring.

I hope you enjoy reading the books half as much as I enjoyed writing them!
