Rerun: A New Face of Terrorism by Shawn Raymond Poalillo
About Rerun: A New Face of Terrorism by Shawn Raymond Poalillo
A Special Unit was created within the Department of Homeland Security to investigate strange, seemingly unbelievable cases, not divulged to the general public. This is the investigation that inspired its creation:
Department of Homeland Security Special Agent Michael Poe had a knack for catching weird cases, but when he thwarts a series of bombings at the countries largest fast food chain by a man shorting it’s stock, and eight months later, encounters predatory blackbirds being sent through the mail, he never imagined that the two were part of a far greater scheme to destroy the United States.
With its roots in World War II, the now aging Nazi scientist who masterminded the scheme brings it to present day, financed by a Middle Eastern oil Sheik – its goal – to unleash what can only be described as an abomination into mainstream America.
While attempting to uncover the sinister plot, Poe’s FBI counterpart, the delectable Special Agent Samantha Doll, falls prey to the Sheik and awaits the perverse initiation into his harem.
With time running out, Poe must not only save the beautiful Special Agent Doll, but stop the ghastly plan that threatens the United States.

Author Bio:
Shawn Raymond Poalillo is a retired Special Agent from the Department of Homeland Security with over twenty-four years of federal law enforcement experience. Poalillo is certified in federal court as an expert in the areas of money laundering, bank record analysis and telephone toll analysis and can give expert testimony.
Having attended LIU/CW Post College, the author holds a BA in psychology and business and also graduated from the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, Glynco, Georgia.
“Writing is a great joy, each word a small victory. In my first novel – Rerun: A New Face of Terrorism – I tried to bring the realism of true-life law enforcement, something lacking in most novels of the genre, while mixing in an outlandish plot. Cops have a great time all the time. Nothing was serious until it had to be and then it became serious quickly.
“This same quality is seen in my third novel – The Girl With The Black Mark, another Special Agent Michael Poe story.
“Completely different is A Selfless Man, which is a complete departure from the other two and a more heart wrenching story.
“My goal is to entertain and take the reader away, if only briefly, to a different place. Enjoy!”

The Science of Success: What Researchers Know that You Should Know by Paula J. Caproni
About The Science of Success: What Researchers Know that You Should Know by Paula J. Caproni:
In this book you will learn what you need to do to achieve the success in life that you desire and deserve. The author provides you with a practical framework that will help you get better results at work, be successful in your career, and enjoy a fulfilling life outside of work.
This may seem like a tall order for one book, but it isn’t. Hundreds of researchers have spent more than three decades studying what the most successful and happiest people do differently than others. Based on this research, this book will help you find answers to the following questions: (1) Why do some people achieve their life goals while others muddle through and never reach the success they hope for? (2) Why do some people who excel in school (and seem destined for success) stall early in their careers, while some who don’t perform as well in school end up enjoying meaningful and productive careers, often exceeding the expectations of others? (3) Why do some people thrive in their jobs while others simply go through the motions? (4) Why do some people bounce back from failure while others become immobilized? (5) Why are some people able to have successful careers as well as a fulfilling life outside of work, while others get consumed by their work? (6) What are the most important lessons that children should learn early in life to help them lead happy, fulfilling, and productive lives?
In short, this book answers these three main questions:
(1) What do the most successful people do differently than other people?
(2) How can those characteristics and behaviors be learned?
(3) How can you apply these lessons to your own life?
The author presents the science of success in a way that is both engaging and immediately practical. Throughout the book, the author exposes myths about success that hold people back from achieving their goals, and then replaces those myths with research-based strategies for success. Her credibility comes not only from how she expertly describes the research and the real-life examples she provides, but also from her inspiring description of her own journey to success. She navigated her way from being a waitress in her family’s luncheonette through community college to a Ph.D. from Yale University and a faculty position with the University of Michigan Ross School of Business.
The author has written this book using practical language so that you can read it quickly and apply what you learn to your own life immediately. In addition, this book includes self assessments, end-of-chapter questions to help readers clarify their goals and steps they will take to achieve those goals, and a template for creating a personalized action plan to help you begin applying what you’ve learned about achieving success to your own life. The author has also included references at the end of the book in case you want to read more about the original research that inspired this book.
Some people will read this book because they are just starting to think about their careers and the kind of lives they want to lead. Others will want to learn how to advance their careers, either to take their careers to the next level or to get back on track after setbacks. Counselors and mentors will read this book because they want to help others achieve their goals. And parents will want to help their children make choices that will lead to happy, healthy, and productive lives. No matter who you are, if you’re interested in achieving the success in life that you desire and deserve, or are interested in helping others do so, then this book is designed for you.

Big Bad Neighbor
Love thy neighbor? Oh, I intend to.
As a retired SEAL, I’m used to crushing obstacles.
So when the world’s biggest dick tease moves in next door, I’m up for the challenge.
Her smile, her lips, her ass fitting snugly into those tight jeans. It makes me hard the minute she crosses my driveway.
But I can tell she’s running from something, something I want to save her from.
So now I want her even more.
To protect her, to own her, to make her mine.
But I have a son to think of. No time for women. No time for games.
So there’s no f*cking way I’m letting her into my house and my heart.
But the fact that our bedroom windows align only makes it all the f*ck harder.
From behind half-drawn curtains, we’re playing a dangerously delicious game.
I watch her. And I know she watches me, imagining it’s her hand on my c*ck.
But that’s as far as I’ll let it go.
Because doing what I have in mind to her… it’s downright unneighborly.

The Hidden Genes of Professor K
About The Hidden Genes of Professor K:
World-renowned scientist, Professor K knows he’s close to a ground-breaking discovery. He also knows he’s dying. With his last breath he anoints Dr Alexandra Delacroix as his successor and pleads with her to carry on his work. Delacroix unwittingly enters a dangerous world of unbridled ambition and greed that threatens to destroy her. Desperate and alone, she turns to celebrated author and journalist, Jack Rogan.
Alistair Macbeth, self-made billionaire and enigmatic founder of Blackburn Pharmaceuticals, has a murky past. He knows he must secure Professor K’s discovery for his empire, or perish. Powerful and ruthless, he will stop at nothing to achieve his dark and deep desires.
Meanwhile, when the parents of a famous rock star, Isis, are brutally murdered, Jack Rogan is asked to investigate.
On a perilous journey of discovery that takes them around the globe, Jack and Lola Rodriguez—Isis’ resourceful PA—join forces with Jana Gonski, a former police officer; Dr Bettany Rosen, a tireless campaigner for the destitute and forgotten; and Tristan, a gifted boy with psychic powers. Together, they expose a complex web of fiercely guarded secrets and heinous crimes of the past that can ruin them all and change history.
Will Rogan succeed? Will the dreams of a visionary scientist with the power to change the future of medicine fall into the wrong hands, or will his genius benefit mankind and prevent untold misery and suffering for generations to come?

As a Brit transplanted in Canada, I live in a small town with the love of my life and fur babies. I began writing almost 20 years ago and fell in love with Murder Mysteries, never missing an episode of Murder She Wrote and all the other television cozies. lol
After winning a national writing competition, I thought how fun it would be to write a series about a likable heroine that finds romance and intrigue in her own little town. That is how the Witches of Warrington Falls came about and is the first of the series.
A portion of my proceeds is going to Charity to raise money for the Cancer Society in memory of my dad.
Fifty-one percent
A fascinating look at mediumship, psychics, a spiritualist college, a spiritualist circle, scientific theories and the paranormal.
Throughout my life I’ve had many psychic, paranormal and spiritual encounters. When thinking about the spiritual world, some people like to think of spirits and some prefer to call spirits ghosts. If you prefer to call them ghosts, then ghost hunters can only dream of experiences such as mine and I am now ready to openly share some of these with my readers!
I have seen and spoken to ghosts and received messages to pass on. Up until now, I have not shared my experiences with anyone but, now I reveal them to you in my book. Read about my experiences including how one mischievous ghost wasn’t seen again after I shouted at him for behaving so stupidly and how a devious ghost tricked me and almost took my life! I also reveal some of the psychic messages I’ve received and passed on to people that have quite literally saved their lives!
If you think that all sounds bonkers, can you imagine how you would feel if these things had happened to you? I had to find a way to try to make sense of it all. I attended a spiritualist college and a circle and I also looked to the scientific world for answers. Read about my experiences and discovery that proven scientific theories and facts can seem just as crazy as paranormal and psychic phenomena. Dive in and join me on my sensational journey!

Author Bio:
From a young age I experienced strange paranormal phenomena, I tried to ignore it and tell myself it wasn’t really happening, at one point even believing I could be going a little crazy. I had no idea why this was happening, I didn’t understand why it was happening and I had no idea how I should deal with it.
As the years went by, I found ways to cope with what I experienced, but with more mature years came a mind that was curious to find out what was going on. I have always loved science and endeavoured to find answers using it, but when looking into science at its deepest levels, I found myself sliding into a realm that seemed as strange as I had experienced my whole life, because some scientific theories and the reality they explain aren’t like a reality we know and experience each day. As for reality, one of the most interesting things I looked into was consciousness and how it forms all that we believe is real, and what I learned was a journey in itself.
As my journey began, I found a spiritualist college which was a great start for anyone taking a journey into mediumship. After that, I attended various spiritualist circles and between them, I found ways to overcome and understand the strangeness I had endured my whole life.
Before my journey started I was lost, not knowing where to go for help, who I should listen to and what path to take. I like to think of myself as an average man experiencing a fun, but not out of the ordinary life and I certainly didn’t want to involve myself in mediumship and the associated paranormal phenomena that accompanied it, so starting this journey wasn’t taken lightly but what a journey it has been! I never thought I’d ever call myself a medium, but now I can and the journey was nothing like I thought it would be.
After taking this journey, I reflected upon the thoughts I had before starting and how lost I had been, just wishing someone would explain what I should do, where I should go and how I should focus my mind and on what! This led me to write two books aimed at someone like I once was. That was someone who experienced things I couldn’t explain and couldn’t tell those around me what I was going through, someone who needed a helping hand and a sense of direction and as important as that, what would be experienced as the journey into mediumship began. I’ve had a fascinating journey into mediumship and I’ve also been able to use my love of science to help me feel better in coming to terms with all I’ve experienced. I hope the two books I’ve written will help you in various ways before you start your own journey.
The mind of a Medium
A captivating look at consciousness, mediumship, psychics, spiritualist circles, scientific theories and the paranormal.
If you’ve read my first book, Fifty-one Percent you will know that throughout my life, I’ve had many psychic, paranormal and spiritual encounters. In Fifty-One percent, I explored and discussed how proven scientific theories and facts can seem just as crazy as paranormal and psychic phenomena. Now, in The Mind of a Medium, I take a look at consciousness. To my mind, the subject of consciousness is the most fascinating subject the world has to offer and as I believe consciousness gives me the connections I receive in my mediumship, I couldn’t start this second book without writing about what I have learned.
What is this feeling of consciousness we experience? What makes us inspired? Where does the feeling of imagination come from or my particular idea of beauty? How do we think? What’s involved when a stream of thought happens? How do sparks in our mind create all that we are? I detail this and current thinking on projects going on around the world connected with consciousness in a straightforward, refreshing and engaging way and explore whether artificial intelligence can ever become conscious.
I also share my practical experiences of spiritual circles and other venues I attended to gain a deeper understanding and develop my mediumship ability. As a newcomer trying to find suitable mentoring and training, I was shocked at some of the experiences I had and how some people who thought they were mediums had limited ability as far as I could see. I attended three different circles before I found one or two that I felt I could learn something from. I was glad to have found them because in the early stages, it would have been easy to be put off by the people running them or attending them and to give up. I have written about these experiences in the hope that if any readers have a psychic or mediumistic ability they want to develop, reading about my journey may help them find the right group for them. I give guidance as to what sort of circle may best suit an individual and some details about the different teaching techniques that various tutors use when conducting a circle.
My book would not be complete without sharing some more of my strange experiences with you. Read about my ghostly encounter at a holiday camp and my totally shocking experience!

About Crazy!: That Time I Cried for Three Years:
Crazy!: That Time I Cried for Three Years is a short poetic memoir that depicts what it was like for me to live with BPD during the most difficult period of my life. It focuses a lot on my favorite person, my anger toward the justice system, and the overwhelming sense of hopelessness I had for 3 years.

Diet Essentials: Your guide to losing the weight you want
About Diet Essentials: Your guide to losing the weight you want:
You’re about to learn the relatively simple science behind the art of losing weight.
“I’ve been on a diet for two weeks and all I’ve lost is fourteen days.” – Totie Fields
So many people get on the weight loss platform hoping to lose weight – and fast – but many of them don’t think about how weight loss really works. They think it’s simply all about avoiding certain foods or just brisk walking 10,000 miles daily.
Then, like Totie Fields, they become very frustrated at not being able to lose the weight they were hoping to shed – if any at all.
As a result of pain and disappointment, they conclude it’s an exercise in futility and merely credit other people’s excellent shapes to either genetics or fate. Then they go back to their old ways of eating and sometimes, even more.
But what if they truly understood what weight loss is or more specifically, how it really works? Furthermore, what if they understood how simple it is really to lose weight? Then there might just be – as the classic band Air Supply used to sing – Two Less Lonely People In The World.
I don’t want you to make the same mistake when it comes to your ardent desire to lose the weight you have decided to drop. So before we dive right in to the 7-things you need to do to achieve that goal, I’ll orient you on the simple science behind weight loss.
Here Is A Preview Of What You’ll Learn…
The science of weight loss
Why you must ditch the carbs
The impact that protein have on your body
Why eating more frequently will help you lose the weight you want
Why you should supplement your diet and exercise
Much, much more!

Author Bio:
Mike was born in California and has lived in multiple states from the west coast to the east coast. He cannot remember a time when he wasn’t reading a book. At school, home, on vacation, at work at lunch time, and yes even a few pages in the car (at times when he just couldn’t put that great book down). Though he has read all sorts of genres he has always been drawn to fantasy. It is his way of escaping to a simpler time filled with magic, wonders and heroics of young men and women.
Other than reading, Mike has always enjoyed the outdoors. From the beaches in Southern California to the warm waters of North Carolina. From the waterfalls in the Northwest to the Rocky Mountains in Utah. Mike has appreciated the beauty that God provides for us. He also enjoys hiking, discovering nature, playing a little basketball or volleyball, and most recently disc golf. He has a lovely wife who has always supported him, and three beautiful children who have been the center of his life.
Mike began writing stories in elementary school and moved on to larger novels in his early adult years. He has worked in corporate finance for most of his career. That, along with spending time with his wonderful family and obligations at church has made it difficult to find the time to truly dedicate to writing. In the last few years as his children have become older he has returned to doing what he truly enjoys – writing!
