His Needs by Ajme Williams  

His Needs by Ajme Williams

I tried it all…
I hated him in the way that he deserved.
I resisted him in the way that I knew best.

But I failed.
Miserably.
It was easier to hate Claude but harder to stay out of his bed.
He wanted to win.
He wanted to control me.
And he wanted to make me submit.
The worse part?
I let him do those things.
I satisfied his billion-dollar ego by letting him adore my curves.
Falling in love with a bad boy was a… bad idea.
But Claude wasn’t just that.
He was also my enemy.
An enemy that now had my heart.
Could I still reclaim it knowing that this bad boy was going to be the end of my sanity?
What if a part of me craved to be destroyed by him?

A Love Attempt: Your Step-By-Step Action Guide to Develop Your Love Competence by Morhaf Al Achkar  

A Love Attempt: Your Step-By-Step Action Guide to Develop Your Love Competence by Morhaf Al Achkar

Developing your emotional intelligence? Learn simple and practical techniques to cultivate your love competence…

Everyone wants love. We’re so desperate for it that we are frequently willing to take any deformed shape of it. But what if we can bring in the idea in a developed and genuine form to make it available to every person?

While there is no such thing as a “Love Doctor,” you now have a viable alternative. Morhaf Al Achkar obtained his Ph.D in education and is currently a practicing family physician at the University of Washington. He was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. Since then, his research has focused on the experience of patients living with cancers. His first book is based on interviews I did with 39 patients who live, like him, with advanced illness. He explored how these patients find meaning, cope, and build resilience. Using his deep understanding of philosophical concepts, Morhaf shares his understanding of love from the perspective of someone aware of his finitude.

By following his easy-to-apply practical exercises, Morhaf invites you on a journey of dialogue and reflection to Heighten your Empathic Abilities.

Inside A Love Attempt, you’ll learn:
– The Pragmatics of Love
– How to Love by recognizing and capturing the opportunity.
– How to Love and forget by purifying and receiving love afresh
– How to be intentional, pay attention, and set up a space, norms and expectations to listen with love
– How to reconstruct what is being and learn about context and biography to communicate with love
– How to become oriented to understanding and agreement to act communicatively with Love
– How to develop a strategy to reinforce and abstract some learning about yourself to
– Become Authentic with Love
– And much, much more!

A Love Attempt is the third book in Dr. Alachkar’s self-help series. The first was on resilience and meaning. The second, his memoir, was released only six months before the first draft of this project. In Being Authentic, he wrote ideas about love but did not develop them sufficiently. So he is completing that project here

Dr. Alachkar’s elegant but transparent manuscript is packed with thought-provoking insights and concrete action steps to make salient our native competency for loving so we can then orient our next actions toward embracing love. If you want to learn the conceptualization of love and say “My next act is A Love Attempt!” then you can’t afford to miss Morhaf’s essential guide.

Unlock your true love potential with this easy-to-follow guide Today!

Currently, I am a practicing family physician and associate professor at the University of Washington.

My first book is based on interviews I did with 39 patients who live, like me, with advanced illness. I explored how these patients find meaning, cope, and build resilience

Writing my memoir was my attempt to reconstruct my narrative. I did not want to be defined as a cancer patient nor as someone living with resilience despite cancer. I wanted to be me again: A Syrian Immigrant.



The Hellenistic World: A Captivating Guide to the Hellenistic Age and Alexander the Great by Captivating History  

About The Hellenistic World: A Captivating Guide to the Hellenistic Age and Alexander the Great by Captivating History

Two captivating manuscripts in one book:
• The Hellenistic Age: A Captivating Guide to an Era of Mediterranean History That Took Place Between the Death of Alexander the Great and the Rise of the Roman Empire
• Alexander the Great: A Captivating Guide to the King Who Conquered the Persian Empire and Babylon, Including His Impact on Ancient Greece and Rome
The alienation of the people from the government and society itself can be seen as a result of the Hellenistic transformation. It can also be seen within the art of the period. Scholars, artists, and philosophers began rejecting the collective ideals, and instead, they focused on the cult of the individual. Sculptures were no longer that of gods and ideals but of individuals, and philosophers cultivated the ideas of individual happiness and pleasure.
Religious cults, such as the cult of Isis, formed around the same concepts, claiming to offer the secret of immortality and prosperity to those who sought it for themselves.
The Hellenistic age brought a great deal of change in the ancient world. However, the era was destined to end in 31 BCE with the Battle of Actium. Octavian’s Roman forces defeated Mark Antony’s and Cleopatra’s Ptolemaic fleet, thus securing the rise of the Roman Empire.
While the Hellenistic age lasted only for a brief period in humanity’s rich history, its influence on culture, science, and philosophy has resonated with the world ever since.

The Maltese Attack  

About The Maltese Attack

ONE MISTAKE IS ALL IT TAKES TO CHANGE THE COURSE OF HISTORY.

It’s 1973. Oil wars, terrorist attacks, Watergate… Senator Temple has his hands full, maneuvering political turmoil at home and the powder keg that is the Middle East. His mistake allows a criminal businessman to seize control of the world’s energy sector. Powerful oil dynasties—the Kingsleys, the Sheppards, and the Barronses—could help Temple fix things, but greed and old grudges threaten the alliance.

Three families, their fates interlinked. A politician with secrets. An enemy to fear. From high-society New York to dusty Middle Eastern villages, from broken romances to bitter conspiracies, they battle their way through the glitter and grit of the ’seventies and ’eighties. One wrong move from any of them, a single error, will echo across decades and change history.

The Maltese Attack starts a gripping political saga, a tale of powerful men and women who fight ruthlessly, hate virulently, and love unwisely.

Author Bio:
Annie, her partner, Eric, and her two young sons live in the small town she has taught elementary school in for seventeen years.

Through her turbulent life experiences, Annie has found a deep passion for educating people from ages 8 to 98. Whether teaching children in her classroom, inspiring her peers through her memoir and social media pages, or writing informational articles for the elderly through the website she writes for, Annie finds purpose through helping others navigate their own personal struggles in life.

Along her life-long journey, battling her way to happiness and peace for herself and her family, Annie has gained a vast array of experiential expertise on complex issues. These issues include: Emotional abuse, infidelity, divorce, suicidal ideation, grief, anxiety, depression, narcissism, the family disease of alcoholism, Al-Anon Twelve Step Programs, Alcoholics Anonymous Programs, mental health therapy, and macular degeneration (and blindness).

At the age of 26, Annie was diagnosed with myopic macular degeneration after noticing a small blind spot in her right eye. In an attempt to understand and accept her diagnosis as well as tame her worries about her future, she sought support and knowledge in online communities. She now writes patient advocate articles which are published to Health Union’s macular degeneration website and social media page.

Though she keeps busy teaching full time, writing articles and moderating HU’s website, writing memoirs and children’s books, and managing her professional Instagram author page, Annie prioritizes herself and her family.

Annie and her family’s emotional healing from the devastation they each encountered from living with active alcoholics, is of utmost importance to her. Her family focuses a lot of their time and energy working on recovery. All four members of their little Ohana attend mental health therapy sessions with therapists. She and Eric attend Al-Anon meetings together, and both are ‘working the twelve steps’ of the program with their insightful sponsors.

Annie’s passion for helping others centers on the ideology of living a holistic, healthy lifestyle, and ending the stigma surrounding mental health therapy.

In her down time, you can find Annie writing, cooking, jogging or taking long walks – always seeking the beauty and symbolism of colorful sunrises and sunsets. The quiet and stillness of the country roads that surround her home helps her to recharge and focus on what’s important.

Annie also enjoys going to concerts with her friends and watching her sons play soccer, basketball, guitar, and drums. Her privations in life have afforded her the opportunity to see the importance of living her best life. This memoir is Annie’s paper pride and joy. She’s elated to share her experience, strength, and hope with the world.
