About The Pre-Programming (The Circo del Herrero Series/The Blacksmith’s Circus Series Book 2)

[The god of metallurgy, fire, and alchemy has many names and many faces—sometimes Hephaestus, Ptah, or Vulcan. He changes to suit his needs. And just like his names, his creations have gone through countless revisions. This time, he’s finally onto something—his Automata have turned the heads of other gods. They’ve noticed their pre-programmed potential. There’s a reason Vulcan didn’t scrap the Automata—a reason he left them in the care of humans all this time. They were just the beta testers for his most intricate windup toy yet…

Vulcan’s ancient Automata find their purpose rebooted in the second installment of the CIRCO DEL HERRERO/THE BLACKSMITH’S CIRCUS series. Their immortal human Masters will drop like flies—superfluous in the next round as the gods shuffle in a new deck of fateful cards. The Masters can choose how and when, but they will all die to free the Automata of their earthly chains. Odys and his Automaton, Maud, struggle to protect his twin sister from the plotting of his dual-bodied adversaries. But his sister, Odissa, finds herself a willing participant in The Blacksmith’s latest exhibition—could she be the missing cog to the god’s tightly wound machine all along?

In this thrilling sequel to THE AUTOMATION, the Narrator and Editor drag readers deeper into the dark history and even darker future of the Automata. When the subterranean god emerges with his postlapsarian blueprint, so will the truth about B.L.A. and G.B. Gabbler. Ideal for fans of Scott Hawkin’s The Library at Mount Char, Jo Walton’s The Just City, and all the way to Homer’s The Odyssey, THE PRE-PROGRAMMING is a literary outrage that dares you to keep reading between the lines and the footnotes.]

About My Second Chance Secret Baby

It’s no secret that every woman wants me.
Charming, wealthy, and I have an empire for my legacy.
Unfortunately for most, I’m not the family kind of man.
You might call me a lone wolf. The guy who stands alone and loves it.
Late nights, good booze, and a hot woman on my arm are all I’m after.
Until a hot number from my past resurfaces.
She used to be the one I dreamt of growing old with, back when I wasted my time on hope, dreams, and the lies they offer.
Crazy enough, the chemistry between us is off the charts.
It’s been a long time since a woman has left my heart racing, my hands sweaty, and my body aching for a simple touch.
So I do what any gentleman might do to get around a lady he’s interested in—I offer her a job.
But something’s off. She’s got a little girl, and the angel looks a little too much like my side of the family.
Surely not.
I’m not looking for a long-term relationship, just a rekindling between the sheets.
Or so I tell myself. When the nagging truth is that maybe this is my second chance with the only girl I’ve ever loved.
Not sure if fate is offering me a dream or a nightmare, but either way, I’m taking it.
This woman is mine.

About The Reconstruction Era: A Captivating Guide to a Period in the History of the United States of America That Greatly Impacted American Civil Rights after the War for Southern Independence by Captivating History

The US Civil War brought about a lot of change. The nation not only had to figure out how to become united once again, but it also had to figure out how to integrate the newly freed slaves into society. In addition, the country had to figure out how to recover from the war, which devastated the South and took many lives on both sides.
President Abraham Lincoln favored a less punitive plan for reinstating the Confederate states back into the Union. Unlike other Republicans at the time, he did not think of these states as ever having left the Union. However, his plan never came to fruition. His assassination left the Reconstruction efforts in the hands of Andrew Johnson, a Democrat. Johnson wanted to make things easier for his fellow Democrats in the South. Knowing this, the Radical Republicans in Congress passed their own laws, overrode Johnson’s vetoes, and eventually impeached him. Their plan for the South was punitive and harsh, as they expected total loyalty from any state wishing to rejoin the Union.
It is partially due to these harsh measures that the South enacted the Black Codes, which were harsh laws that stripped away civil liberties for African Americans. The racial tension and hostile atmosphere in the South, which were directed toward both blacks and sympathetic whites, gave birth to the Ku Klux Klan and the infamous Jim Crow laws. Congress attempted to counter these moves with the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments, but these were never utilized in the way they had imagined.
In this book, you will learn about the significant players and laws. You will read about the carpetbaggers and scallywags who tried to make things better for blacks in the South while also seeking their own fortune. And perhaps most importantly, you will discover what happened to the freed slaves and how they found themselves living in a nation that promoted “separate but equal” legislation.

About Crystal Raven Allan Lacoursiere

Jean-Claude Beauceur is a monk, a scholar, a kindergarten teacher, a basketball coach, and sometimes demon hunter. When he finds a girl unconscious on the streets, he knows his actions over the next months may spark open warfare between the vampyres living beneath the streets of New York City and the humans living above. Is she the one the Church has been waiting for, or is she a trap designed to destroy the Brotherhood, one of the factions in a three-sided war that has waged for centuries? If he does not find the truth soon, the world as he has known it will come to a bloody end. Crystal Raven. This book definitely got me hooked and kept me there throughout. You may be crushed because of a part of the ending, but it’s definitely worth a read.Since I love witches and vampires and the supernatural in general, the book fits my needs, especially since it strays from your average supernatural fiction and instead, has a unique story that weaves together different supernatural elements very well. – Feroza XThe creativity it took to make this story is amazing. Love it! – Jenna Gentry I love how interesting the story gets as you turn the pages. I can even see what is happening in the story in my imagination as if I am just watching a television… – jnkdiosa23Impressive writing that held me turning the pages. I particularly liked the different personalities.- carolafarrington

About Spiritual Courage: How to Find Strength and Happiness

Are you a frustrated Christian? Do you work hard at your faith, but find little joy in it? Do you feel like your faith should’ve made a bigger impact on your life? Do you keep falling short of your own standards? Do you find yourself thinking that this just isn’t working the way it should? Where are the peace and joy?

The problem is real, but there is a solution. By purposefully practicing the spiritual disciplines in new, practical ways, we can make real changes in our lives. I’ve experienced it myself. If enough Christians learn these techniques, we can change the cultures of our congregations… Into something much more like the body Christ envisioned.
