Author Bio:
Michael Anderle (ok, weird talking about myself in the 3rd person) (1967-Hopefully a long time from NOW) was born in Houston, Tx. A very curious child, he got into trouble – a lot. What to do with an inquisitive mind when he was grounded? Read!

Ok, done with all of that 3rd person stuff.

In the first 20 years, I mostly read Science Fiction and Fantasy. In the last 10 years I have enjoyed Urban Fantasy and Military Fiction. With this background, I’ve been blessed with creating The Kurtherian Gambit series, a well-selling, and fan loved, collection of stories.

The fans have propelled these stories beyond my wildest imagination and they should get all of the credit for sharing with friends, family and occasionally the random person on the street. They are fantastic!



Blood Republic  

About Blood Republic

Blood Republic is a cerebral political-thriller for a divided modern America. First published in the summer of 2016, as the United States now spirals further into dangerous tensions many are commenting on the eerie, almost prophetic, similarities between this novel and America 2020.

Ruthless politicians, riots, corrupt media, and a looming conspiracy-fueled disputed election; Blood Republic examines the extremism of both sides through a heart-pumping thriller with the fate of the country at stake. Will America survive its next election, or collapse into a 2nd civil war of conservative versus liberal?

During the closing hours of the tightest presidential election in US history, firebrand Annie Daniels is a socialist senator determined to win the White House. She dreams of eradicating injustice, and hopefully, saving her dying daughter’s life. Major Amos Daniels though, her conservative Green Beret brother, might have something to say about that, if her plans go against his faith.

As an Electoral College tie nears, the country erupts into chaos with an unknown enemy fanning the flames. Annie and Amos are thrust to opposite ends of a constitutional crisis with guns drawn, the very soul of our nation at stake. Will the Daniels family find common ground above ideology to prevent a second civil war, or will a secretive enemy-of-the-state bring about America’s final days?

Blood Republic is an intelligent thriller described as combining the philosophical depth of an Ayn Rand or George Orwell novel with the excitement of such story-tellers as Michael Crichton or Tom Clancy. Politically independent in tone, Blood Republic will make you question your own political and philosophical beliefs while keeping you guessing who the true villain is in a fractured modern America.

Can peace and reason overcome two-party hate, or has the country already been pushed too far? Read Blood Republic to see if America will survive.

Raise happiness, After birth: the manual by Konstantinos Salapas  

Raise happiness, After birth- the manual by Konstantinos SalapasAbout Raise happiness, After birth: the manual by Konstantinos Salapas

There is a manual even for a screwdriver, but not for managing a newborn baby

When my partner, Areti, got pregnant with our first child and we saw that everything was fine about the pregnancy, the first signs of anxiety about the imminent situation began to appear.

What happens now?
What is our life going to be like after the baby?
Will we have time to do anything?
Will we sleep?
WILL WE HAVE SEX?
Will we be good with each other?
Will we make it?
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

I am sure that if you are expecting a baby or you already have a baby, the above seven questions have been on your mind and have troubled you a lot.

To all these, unfortunately, your friends and family come to answer, many times without anyone asking them. The main nonsenses you hear or will hear are the following.

“Oh, you will see now what are you up to, we haven’t slept for 487 thousand years. You will chase them all day when they’ll start walking; You cannot imagine what you have to deal with, with the little ones”.
(Friends of mine, who I wanted to punch right in the nose when they told me all that, while I already had a HUGE anxiety about what would happen.)

“Well, of course we will tell you what to do with the little one, so many children we grew up, didn’t you grow up well?”
(Parents and relatives mainly, let us judge if you raised us well, that we were beaten every five steps because we had not done six.)

A piece of advice from me for all this and listen to me well:

Put carrots in your ears or anything can insulate the external sounds, particularly the advice from experts on everything, and do what I decided to do as I did back then.

“Things cannot be so dramatic,” I thought. A kid is coming, dude, and it such a happy incidence. Here everyone presents me an imminent Hell. So what do I do? ”
In order the following.

CLOSE YOUR EARS TO THE EXTERNAL VOICES.
READ.
GET INFORMED.
LOOK FOR WHAT IS WRITTEN ABOUT CHILDREN.
MAKE YOUR OWN PHILOSOPHY AND FOLLOW IT.

Go Online, read articles by child psychologists, get books from Amazon (should we not advertise our work a little?), have an appointment with a child psychiatrist-child psychologist, get opinions, filter what is right and what is wrong.

Do all this not alone, but with your partner, and make a plan for how you will manage your child’s rising from Day 1, which will come to this world, your rosy pink and very healthy I wish!

Talk, disagree, fight, have make up sex to have fun, but end up somewhere in terms of the plan and the philosophy of growing up that you will follow!
Believe me, talking openly about everything corrects MANY ISSUES.
And after all that, make the best move.

Keep listening to no one but yourself, your now renewed self with the knowledge you have acquired, and carry out your plan.

Therefore, before my little Stephen was born, I started deboning every article which was for raising and parenting, seeing every video in Youtube, ordering books and talking with experts (psychiatrists, psychologists, child psychologists, etc.).

The more I learned things, the more I closed my ears to external voices, which no longer had anything to say to me.

Because my plan for raising my child was slowly starting to take shape.
This book, then, has this purpose.

To impart you as much knowledge as I could gather trying to do the best for my child, but gathered together in one place, without having to spend the endless hours I spent.

Enjoy!

A few words about me

I was born in a small town in Greece, Agrinio Etoloakarnania, on February 26, 1976.

From a young age I was interested in arts and letters and at the age of nine I started learning music (specifically classical guitar) and taking painting lessons (free and line drawing), because I wanted to become either a musician or a comic artist.

Eventually, my great love for music prevailed, but after the age of 10 I developed a deep relationship with literature and great poets and writers, both domestic and non.

Basically, my mother contributed to this, who initially gave me extra pocket money to read books (we are talking about actual bribery!), but after the germ had entered and I couldn’t stop!

At the age of 19 I attended the journalism seminars of the Athens Editor of a Daily Press Association and then for a long time I worked as a journalist, proofreader in major Athenian newspapers and magazines and as article writer (mainly humorous) on well-known Greek sites .

My mentor in writing was the great Greek journalist and very good friend of mine, Manos Antonaros, who unfortunately is no longer with us. I thank him, however, from here for everything and I wish he would rest in peace.

At the age of 22 I started learning the drums next to my great friend, teacher and mentor Giannis Stavropoulos and very soon I started playing professionally in music scenes, while practicing journalism, which I loved it deeply.

In 2012 I decided to make music, through teaching, my main source of income, opening a conservatory in the area of Ioannina, a small town in Greece, and teaching music to people of all ages, but mainly to children.

Nowadays I have created my own brand of music schools, entitled Stars Music Academy, which includes a Montessori’s structure of music education program for preschoolers, for children from 18 months up to 3 years, entitled Hippie Hippo.

In all these years of my involvement with the education of children, I have attended many seminars of child’s psychology, group dynamics regarding group lessons for children, management of ADHD and the role of music in it, as in general the work of Maria Montessori, which I highly value as a global form of pedagogy.

I still continue with great pleasure to do the job of a teacher to young children and I am very happy with that!

I now have two children, 3-year-old Stefanos and 2-month-old Zoe, and a wonderful cohabitation with my partner, Areti.

Before my children were born, I went through an endless process of educating myself as much as I could about raising children and becoming the best parent I could possibly be.

I hope I can help you with my book, even a little bit, to pass on to you all the knowledge I have acquired with so much effort and to erase even a little of the stress that anticipation and the experience of fatherhood/motherhood creates, especially with the conditions of modern life!



The Abundance of Less: A Social Experiment of Not Buying Anything New for One Year  

About The Abundance of Less: A Social Experiment of Not Buying Anything New for One Year

Finding the Wholeness, Community, and Meaning that Money Couldn’t Buy

Have you ever looked around your house and wondered, How did I get so much stuff? That stuff gets loud.

Studies have shown that excessive amounts of clutter rob us of joy, peace, and rest, giving us instead, stress and anxiety, less sleep, lowered productivity, and diminished overall wellness. And yet, we keep consuming more and more of the many things we still apparently need to be happy and whole.

In 2010, Marcy looked around her house, surrounded by all the clutter, and felt ill. She realized that they’d been stuck in a cycle of consumerism—swept into a culture of convenience without any awareness of it, and knew that something had to change. They decided as a family, that they wanted no more—more.

At first, this journey was not easy, but over time they discovered many benefits, including an increased level of well-being, more meaning in life, and a deeper appreciation for what they already had. What they hadn’t counted on was their movement becoming a tidal wave that spread into their community and beyond. They found others who wanted to follow this newfound freedom too. They also wanted to do their part to end mass-production, and ultimately, find happiness and peace because of it.

The Abundance of Less has the answer to break away from this cycle of more. In this book, Marcy bares all about their journey, outlining not only the successes, but the failures too. This book will leave you questioning whether what you’re holding on to in life is really that important, and in turn, will lead you to find your own path to happiness.

Not So Thankful for Thanksgiving by Onaolapo Dagunduro  

About Not So Thankful for Thanksgiving by Onaolapo Dagunduro

You might have always imagined turkeys dreading Thanksgiving dinner. “Not So Thankful for Thanksgiving” puts a spin to this idea as we meet Turf, a cheery, fun-loving turkey who is looking forward to Thanksgiving Day!
He’s been told that turkeys get to be the spotlight on this special day, and he can’t wait to be a part of it. But when it seems Turf’s dreams are not coming true and the meaning of Thanksgiving Day appears to be lost, can Turf still find something to be thankful for?
This delightful and funny twist teaches kids that there might still be something to be thankful for even when things do not go as planned.
