Author Bio:
WARREN TATE has worked in the real estate industry for over twenty years. As a past CEO and Director of a boutique franchise business he doubled its size, has won numerous awards and delivered over 1,500 coaching sessions to experienced and new agents entering the profession.
He is hands on in the market place, attending listing presentations, meeting with vendors and landlords, and auctioning properties most Saturdays. ‘I believe you cannot drive performance if you are not in the lounge rooms with the people selling their property and understanding their concerns and providing outstanding results for these clients.’
Real estate is a tough industry, one where only the best communicators survive and thrive. However simply talking is not enough, saying what you believe people want to hear is definitely not the way to survive. It takes a deeper understanding of people, how they communicate and how they think, to effectively create lasting relationships.
There is a huge gap between the good and the great, and it comes down to being the best communicator. This can be said about any industry or profession and is true for anyone who would like to improve their position in business, in their personal life or in their social life. The better your communication and understanding of others, the greater your opportunities to grow.
A Certified Speaking Coach, Warren has spent countless hours of study and research into understanding the psychology, biology and behavioural science behind
how people think and communicate. This research and learning forms the foundation for this book I Get You. In its chapters you will discover that how we communicate is complicated and truly amazing. When you understand the key elements to how we communicate and how your message can be delivered with clarity the majority of the time, your life and outcomes will be changed forever.
Kleptomaniac: Who’s Really Robbing God Anyway?
Monetary tithing has been taught as an undisputed fact in churches for centuries. Kleptomaniac: Who’s Really Robbing God Anyway challenges that assumption and puts modern tithe teachings to the microscope of scripture. This book examines the word tithe from the original Hebrew language and presents the authentic meaning of the the orthodox term based on the land, language and literature of the Hebrew people.
For church-goers who are tired of being told they rob God of tithes and offerings every Saturday and Sunday, and that God requires a tenth of their income until death, this new book opens the biblical scroll and shines a light on the truth of Scripture by debunking centuries-old tithe doctrines, which say a tithe is ten percent of a person’s income. The author also explains why many church-goers are not the ones who really rob God. But exposes who the real God robbers are in this shocking tithe manifesto.
The message of the book is that ten percent of a person’s income does not represent a biblical tithe. The biblical tithe has always been food. A monetary tithe of ten percent represents a tax for religious purposes. A true biblical tithe is narrowly limited to food and clean animals from inside the land of Israel. Also, true biblical tithing was never extended to crafts or trades, and since Jesus was never a farmer, nor headsman, he was not required to tithe.
Kleptomaniac: Who’s Really Robbing God Anyway is an educational book that tackles a religious taboo subject such as tithing and presents more information about an under-saturated subject in the book world concerning tithing. The book is a scholastic, theological work and should be read by anyone who has skepticism about the truth and accuracy of the modern monetary tithe system that is not contained on the pages of the Bible.
This Non-Fiction book is available in ebook and print formats.

Author Bio:
Karen Lynch grew up in Newfoundland, Canada – a place rich in colorful people and folklore to which she attributes her love of the supernatural and her vivid imagination. She moved to Charlotte, North Carolina years ago and was immediately charmed by the southern people but she says she will always be a Newfie.
Though she loves supernatural fiction, she has a soft spot for Charlotte Brontë and Jane Austin. She is a fan of classic rock, country and classical music but her favorite music is the sound of a good thunderstorm or a howling blizzard. Two of her favorite past times are baking artisan breads for her friends and spending quality time with her two German Shepherds.
Beyond the Forest
Lana can draw arcane powers from gemstones. When she started reading the folklore, it sounded farfetched. She should have closed the books right then and walked away. Special abilities are nothing but trouble. Someone always wants you to do something impossible. Or dangerous. Usually both. Like going through a portal to save an oppressed race in another world. In this case, gnomes, whose ruler happens to be a gem master, with gem powers that dwarf the ones in the folklore books. Never mind about the gem master’s goblin-like servants, or the flying serpents, or the mutant insects. When you’re in this deep, because you just couldn’t say no, what’s a few more unthinkable horrors?

The stories range from an aircraft getting blown off the runway in North Carolina to a Learjet descending through a snow storm in northern British Columbia, Canada with a flight crew ignoring the minimum altitude required.
Another story deals with a tragic crash on a stormy night with a Learjet 35 doing a Medivac mission to an island off the coast of British Columbia, Canada. At night and in bad weather, why did the pilots make a simple mistake that cost them and the three nurses on board their lives?
Then there is the situation with a high time JAARS pilot who does the unimaginable in a Helio Courier at a small airport in northern Alberta, scaring the pants off the young gas jockey.
And we couldn’t forget the Mooney that lost engine power at night over Seattle or the effect of vertigo on a pilot taking off at night from Port Hardy on Vancouver Island.
And why in the world would a government immigration agent act like someone in the Gestapo when dealing with the passengers in a Mooney aircraft?
It would be hard to explain why a top ranking fighter pilot squadron leader almost got court marshaled for dropping bombs on the enemy who was shooting at his squadron, and how a telegram saved his bacon.
Some stories tragic, some hair-raising and some hilarious, all keep the reader riveted to the pages.

Author Bio:
A.D. Popovich was born and raised in Louisiana. At the age of fifteen, she moved to California with her family. Living in California was a huge eye-opener for her. California meant freedom. “Well, back in the 70s it did.” After meeting her husband, life has been one adventure after another. They lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico for a while—absolutely wonderful. Several years later they made a wrong turn and ended up in Florida: too many tornados and alligators. They returned to California and set-up their own business, The Cosmic Shirt Company, for about two years until the Bankstas caused The Crash. Homeless for a while, “Yes, really.” They finally managed to get their feet back on the ground after obtaining super-boring jobs.
After several years of working in the mundane world, A.D. Popovich decided it was time for a change. She focused almost every second of her free-time focusing and visualizing her childhood dream—writing. She is busy working on the second book in Only the Dead Series “Only the Dead Don’t Lie.” She strives to write compelling, scary, survival stories with a touch of the metaphysical about the average guy and gal, (not a hitman, superhero, military expert, reporter or socialite).
When asked what people find surprising about her, she replied, “Hmm, the people who know me from my working-world life were super-surprised when I told them I had published a dystopian novel. They were like . . . ‘Whut?’ They were just getting used to my metaphysical side. Now they really think I’m weird. It seems odd to me as well that I like to venture to the dark side in my stories. Also, I’m super-girly; most people are surprised that I was in the Army Reserves. In fact, some people actually don’t believe me when I mention I’ve served in the military.”

Author Bio:
Growing up in Oklahoma City, I didn’t have a childhood dream of becoming an author, but I did love to read – a lot! From reading the backs of cereal boxes to books from the local library, I developed an appreciation for the power and impact of the written word. However, I didn’t write my first book until years later.
After working for many years as an Administrator in a large multi-specialty medical clinical, I returned to school and began a second career. I earned a Master’s Degree in Counseling and am licensed in the state of Colorado.
Since then I have spent many hours encouraging, motivating, challenging and inspiring individuals, couples and families in my private practice.
That second career prompted a move to Denver, Colorado, where I established a counseling division at a large church. I’ve also conducted a variety of workshops and I remember well the one I called “Approval Addiction.” So many participants craved more information about setting boundaries that I decided to write “Yes! I Said No!”
My goal was to create an easy-to-read, and more importantly, an easy-to-implement book to truly change lives. This book is designed to help people become free from such issues as negative family patterns or a mistaken belief that pleasing others is a spiritual gift.
I still enjoy reading, and my husband Jerry and I also like to travel and get away to the mountains to enjoy one of my favorite hobbies, photography.

Nightmare Zoo by Lila Evans
About Nightmare Zoo by Lila Evans:
Jay thought that he was alone in the strange room of curious taxidermy animals, but someone was monitoring his every movement. As violent riots rip through town, the empty library seems like the perfect place to wait out the storm. But the chaos never dies down. The town is quarantined, and communication from the outside world comes to an abrupt halt.
Joining a group of survivors who believe in embracing their inner spirit animals, Jay finds tentative happiness with his childhood friend Cassie and begins to rebuild his life under the tutelage of the group’s leader, a strange blind man named Tiresias. But when the taxidermy animals from the library begin reappearing with sinister notes and Jay’s new friends begin to disappear, he discovers that he is key to a failed experiment called ‘Nightmare Zoo’ that is tied into his own dark past. What Jay doesn’t know is that the evil lurking in the deserted town has already taken root inside himself and everyone left inside the quarantine zone.
But things really get out of hand when the nightmare zoo finally comes to life…

She currently lives in Purgatory, Ontario, with her laptop and cat and is busy turning ideas into stories.
The House That Jack Built (A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups) by Sharon Harris Warrick
About The House That Jack Built (A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups) by Sharon Harris Warrick:
Once upon a time there lived a boy-man named Jack whose primary goal in life was to declare his independence from his overbearing, wealthy, and sinister parents. So, Jack built a house and moved into it. A good first step, certainly – however, Jack was unprepared for the domino effect of events that would follow.
It doesn’t take long before Jack’s house becomes home to a motley assortment of larger-than-life characters, who may or may not mean Jack any good. Jack’s response to the ensuing drama? He hides in the oblivion of alcohol, inside of the house that he built, hoping vaguely that all will be right when the fog clears.
Do Jack’s parents step in to exterminate the parasites from his house and life? Does Jack ever grow up and get his life together? Will his fairy tale end with “happily ever after”?
***
Title character Jack is a spoiled, wealthy, entitled, and self-important man who, in all his 30 years, has never lifted a finger or done anything on his own. Out of the blue, he decides to move out of his parents’ estate and into his own house, where his naiveté and arrogance collide in a way that leaves him vulnerable to having his home overrun with hilariously wacky individuals. The book’s chapter illustrations and structural adherence to the verses of the children’s poem whose name it shares contribute to the whimsical entertainment that inhabit this book from front to back cover.

After the Last Breath
Called to a crime scene to investigate a mystery which starts with the seemingly senseless murder of an affluent couple, Private Detective Hector Hargrove’s hidden ability uncovers a missing third person, a previously unseen victim. The clock is ticking as he and his partner, LAPD Homicide Detective Keith Coleman, race to find and rescue them before it’s too late.
With leads narrowing and time running out, Hargrove receives a threat from an unknown enemy, someone who wants to play games with Hector’s life, is immune to his ability, and seemingly knows all his secrets, someone who holds the keys to both his past and future.
As Hargrove and Coleman begin to solve the puzzle, the full resources of the Los Angeles Police Department come to bear. The official investigation unravels a vast conspiracy while Hector’s hidden enemy reveals his end game, exposing a chilling knowledge of dark secrets from the past which soon collide with Hargrove’s future, leaving him shocked, reeling, and in a fight for his life.
After the Last Breath is the first in a new series of books, a refreshing combination of the mystery thriller, police procedural, hard-boiled detective, and psychic thriller genres. It combines action, romance, and humor, and tells a riveting story which reads with a visual style reminiscent of action-packed movies.

Michael Beckford’s life began whereas most lives
end. His July 31st 1985 began as a cliff note or ode
to a 14-year-old mother whom had to give away her
first and only child at the time. During the years of
Michael’s foster care, he grew up as a child with a very
vivid and inquisitive imagination. Michael Beckford
witnessed many storms in life, both in a spiritual sense
and in the natural such as 1992’s Hurricane Andrew,
which destroyed nearly every home around his South
Miami-Dade neighborhood except his.
Just as storms don’t last always, his departure from the
foster home came at the sudden death of one of his
caretakers, Edna Lewis. Next, Michael was then moved
into adoption by a beautiful, young couple, and a new
mother that is an award winning English teacher. These
two parents fueled Michael’s desire to be greater in life,
henceforth the birthing of a Great
American Writer was formed. From the everyday life
stories and struggles in school, Michael’s new mother, Denise Beckford guided him into
writing journals about his daily life’s like’s and dislikes. This movement into the deeper
parts of Michael’s mind and creativity led to the praised and often underserved
expressions of poetry. Speak Up! Poetry Is a notable success, with it being Michael
Beckford’s first book published, only eighteen years of age at the time. This book
reached many corners of the country, as it has been available for sale through
Barnes&Noble, Amazon.com and other chain retail outlets.

Gamma Rift by Kalli Lanford
About Gamma Rift by Kalli Lanford:
I may be a Prince, but there are things that trouble me about my father’s royal rule-the forced abduction, experimentation, and torture of alien creatures. The king has a new prisoner who’s a carefully kept secret…
There’s a young female who belongs to a little-known civilization I have been studying extensively. They are human, belonging to a small, undeveloped planet called Earth. She is pretty in a way I find unusual and compelling. Sometimes I sneak into the adjoining cell and we talk about everything and nothing, even as I find myself yearning to touch her strange, soft skin.
Skin that is being subjected to invasive tests and experiments. A body that’s scheduled for a live dissection in fifteen days. And a life that will be terminated unless I risk my future and life to help her escape…
