Second Skyn: Lost Time Book 1 by Damien Boyes
About Second Skyn: Lost Time Book 1 by Damien Boyes
They say you never forget the first time you die.
Finsbury Gage remembers, it’s stuck on repeat in his digitized mind—he and his wife, smeared across the highway by a crazed bit-head driving a stolen urban assault vehicle. Fin hung together long enough for the Second Skyn recovery team to arrive and rescue his fading thoughts from his ruined body. His wife wasn’t so lucky.
Now, with his salvaged mind uploaded to a custom bioSkyn replacement body, Fin’s thrust into a dangerous underworld of plastic minds and enhanced bodies, driven by the split-second memory of his killer’s face. He’ll do whatever it takes to find the man who stole his future, but when revenge lives forever, just how far will he let himself go to avenge the memory of the woman he loves?
Second Skyn is the first book in the Lost Time series, a mind-bending sci-fi noir in the spirit of Blade Runner, Altered Carbon, and Neuromancer. If you love your sci-fi relentless and armed with twists, this is what you’re looking for.
Book One is free and Book Two is only $0.99 until May 5

KILLING FIELDS OF WORLD WAR I by Cotter Bass
About KILLING FIELDS OF WORLD WAR I by Cotter Bass
World War I (often abbreviated as WWI or WW1), also known as the First World War or the Great War, was a global conflict originating in Europe that lasted from July 28, 1914 to November 11, 1918. Contemporaneously described as “the war to end all wars,” it led to the mobilization of more than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, making it one of the largest wars in history. It was also one of the deadliest conflicts in history, with an estimated nine million combatants and seven million civilian deaths as a direct result of the war, while resulting genocides and the 1918 influenza pandemic lead to another 50 to 100 million deaths worldwide.
KILLING FIELDS OF WORLD WAR I, by Cotter Bass, is Volume 2 of the KILLING FIELDS TRILOGY and provides a brief but graphic overview of the battlefield horrors of World War I.

Author Bio:
Hello, and welcome to my Author Bio!
Although my pseudonym reads Cotter Bass, my given name is Denis Nawrocki. I am an 81 year old retired architect/writer/photographer. My lovely wife Violet and I reside in Greenwood, Indiana. Vi and I have been married for 60 years. We have raised two sons and one daughter and are proud grandparents of eight grandchildren. We both enjoy the outdoors, especially fishing. In addition to writing, much of my time is spent in the pursuit of trout and bass, tying trout flies, playing golf, and photography.
I have been writing for more than 50 years. The majority of my early work revolved around fishing and related outdoor subjects. I penned angling columns for several regional newspapers and eventually secured a monthly trout column with an angling publication entitled FishingPA.
I wrote FUDGE! several years ago but never pursued publication in ebook form until this year. ECHOES OF SLAVERY and KILLING FIELDS OF WORLD WAR I, Volume II are my most recent works. Both books are presently listed for sale with BookRix, Amazon.com, Kobo, and others. I’m currently working on a young adult book entitled THE TREASURE OF OYSTER ISLAND and I expect Volumes I and III of KILLING FIELDS OF WORLD WAR I to be ready for publication in the near future.

Awake Leadership
Do you have the techniques and the mindset you need to take the lead? How do you keep your team aligned, engaged, and inspired? Awake Leadership presents a system of seven vitals and exercises for leading with clarity and creativity. While other leadership books detail qualities of excellent leaders, this guide shows how to lead through a progression of specific practices and exercises. Each section of the guidebook contains interactive exercises with examples and tips for putting the seven leadership vitals into action.
Hilary Jane Grosskopf developed the Awake Leadership system and exercises as an emerging, visionary leader in business looking to lead differently. As a team member and rising leader, Hilary found that leaders often lead with too much structure or too much freedom. She realized that modern leaders need practices and exercises that work for both aligning and motivating their team in order to achieve objectives and make progress. As a leader seeking to find a balance between achievement and enjoyment, she developed this practical, creative guidebook to help leaders of all ages and backgrounds lead with more ease and enthusiasm.
The seven vitals of Awake Leadership are inspired by the Chakra system, an ancient system of yoga philosophy. Just as the seven chakras are vitals for energetic alignment and life balance, the seven Awake Leadership vitals cover the spectrum of practices for successful leadership in action. It is a system for finding optimal balance as a leader in the dynamic world of business. While half the exercises are team exercises, the other half are individual exercises for strengthening your leadership. Work through the guidebook to find the right balance between providing structure and freedom for yourself and for your team in order to make optimal progress.
Awake Leadership provides aspiring and rising leaders with the foundation they need to start their leadership journey. The guidebook gives current leaders guidance and actions for revitalizing their leadership to better align and motivate a team. Take the lead of your work, your career, your team, and your life. Enjoy the process and the results.

Theonite: Planet Adyn by M. L. Wang
About Theonite: Planet Adyn by M. L. Wang
– ONLY 99c May 1-7th! –
Joan is at her happiest when she uses her powers – stirring air currents, creating fire, and levitating metal objects – but she learned at a young age that no one in her small-minded suburban town was prepared to accept her abilities. Since that painful revelation, she has hidden her powers, isolating herself from others, even keeping her own parents at a distance.
However, all that changes when a boy named Daniel Thundyil transfers to her school and she begins to suspect that he is concealing powers of his own. Burning with curiosity and desperate to end her loneliness, Joan makes it her mission to get to the bottom of this boy’s secrets. What she doesn’t realize is that Daniel isn’t just another Earthling with uncanny abilities; he is an inter-dimensional traveler from a world of super-powered beings. And the moment she started prying into his life, she put herself in the sights of the godlike evil that follows him from his dimension.
Now, the most powerful girl on Earth faces a choice: will she retreat back to the safety of her life in hiding or brave the storm for a chance at truth and friendship?

Author Bio:
M. L. Wang was born in Wisconsin in 1992, decided she wanted to be an author at the age of nine, and never grew up. She got her Bachelor of Arts in history from Knox College in 2015 and currently works at a martial arts school in her home city of Madison.
Her Theonite Series is the product of over ten years of writing, research, and rampant imagination that began when Wang was still in middle school. She majored in history, learned multiple foreign languages, and even studied abroad with a West African oral traditionalist to realize the universe of these books. The idea behind the series has always been to revel in all the fun and action typical of YA adventure while also exploring deeper (less-fun) issues of gender, ethnicity, and power.

Torian gazes at the moon and is haunted by a desire to escape. There must be more for him and his companions than this stark planet can offer. But Maintenance hunts for dissidents, controls the City’s air, and is always nearby, always watching.

Release Your Mind
This book is about the step process that I used to conquer that limited and inferior mind-set and started achieving things I have always wanted and the process it took me to understand that whatever the mind can conceive and believe the mind can achieve it. It is about the mindset change I and my sisters have to go through to become better. And how our minds became our greatest motivator instead of our greatest limiter as it used to be.
