Surreal Absurdity by Jim Lively  

About Surreal Absurdity by Jim Lively

What is it about Charles Pierce that makes people want to kill him?
He’s retired from his law practice, does pro bono work for non-profits, and has turned all his attention to focus on his art. He even rented a studio, as part of a gallery where exhibitions are well attended and the wine flows freely.
So why does a mysterious and hostile young man threaten him, while the woman who tried to poison him last year shows up at an exhibition to purchase one of his abstract paintings?
Charles can’t seem to avoid associating with criminals. Even Detective Gonzales believes he is somehow involved in a series of local murders because his business cards are found at the scene.
No one, least of all Charles, can explain it, but the more he seeks clues and answers, the more he finds the whole situation to be a Surreal Absurdity.

My Ex-Boyfriend’s Dad by K.C. Crowne  


About Featured Book: My Ex-Boyfriend’s Dad by K.C. Crowne

My son and I fell for the same girl.
And now her life is in my hands.

I always knew Vivian was special.
The strength of a lioness.
Witty banter that matches mine.
And a magnetic sensual beauty.

But she’s in deep with the cartel.

I won’t rest until I eliminate every last threat.
But one problem still remains…

How am I supposed to guard her life if all I can think about is devouring every inch of her for myself?

Deceptive Cadence by Kora Reydgar  

Deceptive Cadence by Kora Reydgar

A modern retelling of the biblical fable of Cain and Abel, this elegant novella explores the emotional journey of a person driven to violence by love.

After the death of their parents, Kein had to take on adult responsibilities, including care of his younger brother, Ethan, as they both pursue their studies at the prestigious Institute of Music. Kein can’t help but resent Ethan for having the chance to be a normal teenager, while he himself has to be an unwilling caregiver. As he tries to juggle his responsibilities with his own needs, the last thing on his mind is love, yet he finds it unexpectedly in his new piano instructor, Adonai. Further burdened by coming face to face with his own sexuality and drowning in his unresolved trauma, Kein is not prepared to find out that his brother is in love with Adonai, too. As Ethan pursues his interest in a way Kein simply cannot, the brotherly relationship comes under extreme strain.

Author Bio:
A curious mixture of cultures, Kora is Russian by descent but grew up in Austria while being obsessed with the Japanese way of life since early childhood. She always had a strong appetite for both the logical and the creative, and she completed two Master’s degrees – one in Software Engineering and another in Creative Writing – to appease both of her sides. Inspired by her own background, her award-winning thesis explored the issues in intercultural communication. This, as well as her personal experience with trauma and therapy, shaped her interest in understanding the human psyche.

In her work she explores the more sensitive and darker subjects of sexuality and violence. Utilizing her accumulated knowledge, her research skills, and her connections with mental health professionals, she strives to find and expose the elusive logic behind emotions.

Kora is an avid devourer of art and science, omnivore of music, storyteller of role-playing games, World of Darkness fan, gamer, and an anxious traveler. She can’t survive without a daily dose of “Lady Grey” tea and her intense memory for details can sometimes make her seem like a stalker.

MAKIN’ IT HOME: 10 Rules to Help You Make It Home Safely from a Police Encounter by A. L. Jaxan  

About MAKIN’ IT HOME: 10 Rules to Help You Make It Home Safely from a Police Encounter by A. L. Jaxan

Parents, we all know that when police fulfill their duty to serve and protect our communities, they serve a necessary and beneficial purpose. Much of the time, they do. When they fail to honor their duty, we—Black, Hispanic, indigenous, and brown people, those struggling with mental illness, and poor people of all backgrounds—are disproportionately the targets of police misconduct.

I have identified ten behaviors that will greatly reduce police aggression during a routine encounter. These behaviors are the basis for ten easy-to-remember rules designed to facilitate conversations with your children, whatever their age. By following the rules covered in this book, we can help bring bad policing to light. When citizens handle police encounters correctly, there can be no acceptable or legally defensible reason for police to use excessive or deadly force.

No one deserves to die simply for disobeying routine police commands. Too often, though, minor breaches of conduct during police encounters—even those stemming from justified nervousness or fear—give bad cops a reason to step tragically out of line. This photo/picture book for families seeks to do away with such flimsy justifications, once and for all.

Hi, first of all Thank You for reading my book and all the very best and congratulations on your journey to a successful and fulfilling life. I hope that I have been able to resonate and inspire you, and contribute a little something on your quest.

Let me tell you a little bit more about myself and my journey so far in the quest of success, happiness and freedom.

I come from a small town in the eastern region of India, the country of philosophy and mysticism. Born to a low middle-class family of four (including me), I had a fairly happy childhood, in spite of the dearth of resources like money, own house etc. I have grown up watching the struggles of my father to support us for our study in spite of losing his job, the struggles of my mother to protect and nurture us with proper values like responsibility, duty etc., in spite of destituteness all around in our life, in addition to being seriously ill all the time.

I have gone through many phases, from being a naïve child being sheltered by my parents to diving into the world alone and swimming through all its shades, white, black, grey, orange etc.

Somewhere along the way, I took up the mantle from my parents of ‘never saying die’ attitude and being magnanimous and proud at the same time, formed many lifelong friends, been in love passionately as well as felt the bitter taste of heartbreak, been in poverty as well as experienced the excess of wealth and also the perils of a fragile health and the ecstasy of being in presence of an enlightened mind.

There is always a saying that, whatever we give out to the world, it comes back to us in many ways. Hence, this book is my endeavor to give out a little positivity to the world.

 



Warriors and Monks: Pons, Abbot of Cluny  

About Warriors and Monks: Pons, Abbot of Cluny

Pons, born to a noble family in the south of France in 1075, is given to the Saint Pons Monastery at the age of four by his father. His parents never visit him, and this embitters his feeling towards his family. As a Benedictine monk he thrives in the monastery as a devotee of the Order’s rules, working, praying, and studying.
Reaching adulthood, he falls in love with Primavera, a woman in the nearby village, but the Church’s renewed enforcement of celibacy endangers their relationship.
He excels in his role managing the library and supervising the scribes at the monastery and is promoted to the largest Benedictine abbey at Cluny, France. He must travel across France to reach his new role. It is a lawless time when people of the land are threatened with violence as they cultivate their fields or journey on pilgrimage. Traveling monks are compelled to become warriors, defending themselves with farm tools and walking staves.
Within several years, Pons is elected by the monks as Abbot of Cluny Monastery. As soon as he assumes the abbacy, he discovers the financial problems at Cluny and must travel to Spain to convince the king, their greatest benefactor, to resume their donations to the monastery. On his journey, he must fight brigands and thieves as well as cope with the intimate advances from the queen.
The local nobles are jealous of his power and spread lies about him to the Pope. Pons is leader of Cluny Abbey, which has over a thousand satellite monasteries with 10,000 monks. Thus, Pons rivals the Pope’s religious power and influence, and he frequently is in conflict with the Pope’s religious directives.
During these challenges, he must continue the construction of the new church at Cluny, planned to be the largest Christian church in Europe.
After repeated conflict with the Pope, he makes a pilgrimage to the Holy Land and joins the crusade to save Jerusalem. On the Venetian ship to the Holy Land, he meets an Irish monk, and they join a troop of Polish knights. When they reach the Levante, Pons must fight alongside Christian knights and soldiers and experiences firsthand the violence of the crusades.
His religious views have soured by what he saw in the Holy Land, and he returns to Europe. Pons visits his mother in France before returning to Cluny. Life changing surprises await him there.

Author Bio:
Have you ever wanted to live in another time and place in history? Have you imagined what it would be like to take the place of an ancestor? Michael A. Ponzio’s lifelong experience reading books on history combined with his love for family and travel has inspired him to bring these visions alive, by writing a series of “Ancestry Novels.”
Since childhood, Mike Ponzio has read books about ancient history. He traded books and stories with his father, Joseph E. Ponzio, and they discussed the origins of the family surname. Mike traveled around the Mediterranean to Europe, Asia, and Africa, visiting many of the locations he would later write about. He continues to travel and write Ancestry Novels which he imagines may have taken place during the lives of ancient ancestors.
Mike met his wife, Anne Davis, in 1975 at a University of Florida karate class. Since that time both have taught Cuong Nhu Martial Arts. With John Burns, they wrote and published six instructional books on martial arts weapons. Mike retired in 2015, after working as an environmental engineer for thirty-seven years. Anne and Mike have raised four sons. They are all engineer graduates, following in the footsteps of their Davis and Ponzio grandfathers.

Ancestry Novels by Michael A. Ponzio.

Holotropic breathwork, Reiki Masters, silent walks through the Sahara Desert, all are tried in an attempt to attain enlightenment, but Dave has to resolve his past issues with his father and his addictions.

Does Dave find contentment on the spiritual path? Can he let go of his struggles and embrace the future?

There are only so many times one man can say reboot when it comes to I.T. That’s when I decided to change the career and do a BA Hon’s in Creative and Professional Writing.

At Uni I had the chance to cut my teeth with established luminaries and write some fiction which I insisted on calling a collection of short-stories and have published them on Amazon. My Mum is thrilled but then she is thrilled every time I visit her.

I have travelled widely but never for too long and also close to a three star hotel so I could view the foreign culture from a reasonably comfortable hotel room.

WHY ARE THERE MONKEYS? (and other questions for God)  

About WHY ARE THERE MONKEYS? (and other questions for God)

As a Los Angeles & San Francisco Radio Personality, I interviewed more celebrities than I can count, but the most amazing interview I EVER conducted occurred after I died and suddenly found myself interviewing God! (and I was given UNDENIABLE PROOF that IT REALLY HAPPENED!) If you think A CONVERSATION WITH GOD could not possibly be FUNNY, you’re in for a BIG surprise!

The US REVIEW OF BOOKS calls it: “Profound…Hysterically Witty…Not to be missed!” and Ben Fong-Torres, former Editor of ROLLING STONE Magazine said: “By God, Brooke Jones is a Hell of a writer!”

Author Bio:
Named “LA’s FUNNIEST LADY” by the now-defunct Los Angeles Herald Examiner, Brooke Jones has spent many years being ‘on’ — on the radio; on the stage, and on the computer. At the height of her career as a Political Satirist, Johnny Carson invited her to be a guest on THE TONIGHT SHOW. When she declined Carson’s generous invitation (for reasons that would make for a very intriguing book…a book that she may get around to writing…someday), Jones became one of the few women on the planet who ever said “NO” to Johnny Carson!

After a long and thoroughly UNamusing battle with Breast Cancer, Brooke Jones is officially Cancer-Free (boobless, but Cancer-Free). These days she spends her time skewering Knuckleheads, Nincompoops and Nimrods (of which there are entirely too many!), with her Camp Meme-A-Day comics. (Facebook.com/CampMemeAday). Jones is also the Creator of CardBard Greetings — the internet’s most ‘twisted’ Greeting Cards. (available at: zazzle.com/thecardoutlet)

Being, as she is, a Breast Cancer Warrior (aka ‘survivor’), Jones donates a portion of EVERY sale of her Greeting Cards and her Memoir, “WHY ARE THERE MONKEYS? (and other questions for God)” to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

To learn more (than you ever wanted to know) about Brooke Jones, you are cordially invited to visit her website
where you’ll find a short video (“HerStory”) about her career in radio and comedy; a brief audio sample of her book; her book’s Trailer, and a few other vaguely amusing items. If (for reasons the author cannot begin to fathom) you would like to contact Brooke Jones, there is a Contact Form on her website that has been designed for that very purpose.



Embersoul by Emi Phoenix  

About Embersoul by Emi Phoenix

In Serevak, ritual sacrifice, slavery, torture, and genocide are polite conversation. The concept of good triumphing over evil disappeared when the benevolent King Reinhardt Embersoul was killed in a coup. But hope isn’t dead.

Alenikka, the heir apparent to her father’s stolen throne, doesn’t want the responsibility. She just wants to find her sisters so they can live their lives far away in peace. But when her contacts inside the usurper’s castle inform her that her sisters are being hunted, they convince her to take on the unlikeliest of allies–the enemy’s General, Magnus.

General Magnus finds out the consequences of loyalty and honor, and for all his years of service, his price has been named–his daughter. Her life, along with nine others will feed the soul of the Dragon God. With the help of his oldest friend, the castle mage Torzod, a gnome with a penchant for women and a temper as explosive as his arsenal, a dragon slaying witch defected from a long dead enemy, and the millenias old colossi hunters, he must defeat an ancient lich before the ritual is complete.

Holmes’s Complete Guide To Stop Drinking Alcohol; The Easy, Mindful and Pain-free Way  

About Holmes’s Complete Guide To Stop Drinking Alcohol; The Easy, Mindful and Pain-free Way

A self-help guide advocates overcoming alcohol addiction through mindfulness, inspired by cognitive behavioral therapy.

In this robust manual, Holmes, an online counselor and founder of the Addiction Help Agency, offers an easy and painless way to quit drinking alcohol permanently. The core of this process is a style of cognitive behavioral therapy with a focus on the incremental reduction of drinking and an increase in mindfulness—through meditation, self-assessment, and self-monitoring—to identify harmful patterns. To aid in this, the book provides numerous tools, from graphs and tables for recording habits to diagnostic tests like the Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test, the DSM-5, and others. The guide also discusses self-report surveys like the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale and the Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale. Alongside readers in this undertaking is Moz, a high-functioning drinker and a stand-in for the author, who struggled with alcohol. Moz presents examples of the book’s process and how it succeeded for Holmes. Moz’s experiences also act as a gateway to the deeper research the manual supplies on subjects like the role alcohol plays in popular culture, its chemical composition, and its effects on sex and oft-encountered challenges like loneliness and midlife crises. The book promises “a radical alternative to the public perception…of drinking” as well as “a revolution in alcohol awareness.” In the latter case especially, the guide succeeds. The number of resources and the extensive, well-cited research may feel overwhelming, but the author’s presentation and simple breakdowns will answer most of the questions that patient readers have. The work’s use of Sherlock Holmes quotes throughout that treat alcohol addiction as a kind of mystery to be solved is clever, and the technique never distracts or overstays its welcome. The book is primarily a self-help resource, so those without at least some awareness of their problem or possible difficulty are likely not its audience. The text’s enthusiasm for its own methods can feel like a sales pitch at times but is nonetheless encouraging and infectious.

A comprehensive, passionate, and helpful resource for those looking for an alternative to alcohol.
