About True Experiences with a Sorceress of the Four Portals, From the Tibetan Journals of M.G. Hawking

Free on Amazon February 2nd thru February 4th. This volume details the experiences explorer M.G. Hawking and his companions had in a remote region of the Himalayas with the exceptional Mani Choejor, including accounts of her demonstrations of psychokinetic powers and in-depth descriptions of the esoteric knowledge that enabled her to attain such remarkable abilities.
Five-Star reviews: “Advanced Teachings but Suitable for Beginners. Hawking relays a series of teachings from Mani, a B’on sorceress. Mani is unbelievably powerful at manifesting the physical reality she wants to experience, and the awe most Western readers would experience from such capabilities really make her words a treat, especially the meditation/visualization exercises, advice for beginners, and framework explanations concerning how she accomplishes many of the more advanced aspects of her power. Highly recommended.” – “Amazing and inspiring. I love this book! It’s so well written and so inspiring. It has helped me tremendously.” – “Truly an inspiration. A must read for those who yearn to break free and open their minds to the infinite possibilities of life.” – “I love all of MG Hawking books, such wisdom and the visualizations that he includes are amazing if used daily.”
To merely say that Mani is an extraordinary individual would be to gravely understate the case. Born in a small village in Tibet, she was raised and mentored in a monastery by an Abbot known to be a true master of great power, one of perhaps two remaining instructors of the ancient esoteric arts of the ‘Four Portals’ teachings.
A group of highly esoteric teachings setting forth the true nature of physical reality and techniques of powerful elemental magic, or sorcery, the ‘Four Portals’ are of extreme antiquity. The first extant traces of the teachings appear as part of the lore of the pre-Tibetan Zhang Zhung culture that arose on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau some 4000 years ago, but are believed to have originated far earlier. Being an exceedingly restricted body of knowledge, said to convey enormous powers, the teachings disappear from the historical record for some 2600 years, not to reemerge until the 7th century AD in the arcane scriptures of the ancient pre-Buddhist B’on religion, as found in the Himalayan highlands of Tibet.
According to the ancient Zhang Zhung and B’on traditions, the teachings of the ‘Four Portals’ were formulated in 16,000 BC by the earliest known Buddha, Tonpa Shenrab Miwoche. Like Siddhārtha Gautama, our most recent historical Buddha, Shenrab renounced his life as a prince to become a monk, achieved enlightenment, and taught others how to attain the most elevated wisdom. The rare esoteric teachings of the ‘Four Portals’ contain enormous amounts of elemental sorcery, in keeping with their view of the cosmos as a psycho-physical unity, able to be manipulated in heightened states of awareness through clandestine techniques and practices.
These deeply esoteric teachings begin with a profound premise: “The Universe is but a mirage which exists in the mind, springs from it, is controlled by it, and sinks into it.” To understand this premise in a contemporary context, we may consider the following remarks from the legendary physicist Max Planck, Nobel Prize winner, originator of Quantum Mechanics, and close associate of Albert Einstein: “As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear-headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of the existence of consciousness. The mind is the matrix of all matter. I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness.”
Transcribed directly from the archived field notes and journals of explorer M.G. Hawking’s five years in Nepal and Tibet, this book contains comprehensive narratives of Hawking’s experiences and conversations with a true sorceress, providing first-hand accounts of her psychokinetic and telekinetic powers, along with descriptions of her lengthy apprenticeship and the teachings that allowed her to acquire such extraordinary abilities.
2021 Edition, 20 Chapters, 32 Subsections, e-reader edition page count 422 (estimated, actual count varies depending on the reading device used). Includes Reference Citations and a Source Material Anthology Section. For more information, please see the ‘Look Inside’ feature on the book’s Amazon page. Thank you.

About THE MULATTO WARS

The Mulatto Wars is essentially a historical novel which interweaves the lives of the Calderóns of New Orleans with famous men like Jean Lafitte, Andrew Jackson, Aaron Burr, and one of history’s most unsung military geniuses, Saint Domingue’s General Toussaint ĽOuverture, at the advent of America’s purchase of the disputed Louisiana territory.

Nothing raises greater consternation in the minds of the southern planter class than does the prospects of this black Haitian who’d driven out the white colonials after crushing the English and Spanish imperial armies then sullys the burnish image of Napoleon Bonaparte’s invincibility so close to the North American main.

Events orbit around the Family Calderón, members of New Orleans’ Spanish mulatto elite striving to preserve the family wealth bequeathed to the beguiling Giselle by way of a string of left-hand “arrangements” under all the bawdy excesses of New Orleans.

Giselle’s defiantly unconventional oldest daughter, Julia Océanna (Gato), is a “conflicted” beauty who’d just assume spend her maiden years honing her uncanny skills at swordplay than to yield, as her mother had, to those very often loveless dealings where mulatto debutantes are brokered as practical concubines to wealthy white men upon the shrewd negotiations of their mother’s at Cordon Bleu, New Orleans’ infamous fall season ball for quadroon virgins. By contrast, her highly alluring younger sister, Eloisa Bernadette (the fraternal half of an eccentrically religious twin sister, Alejandra Conchita) shamelessly seeks to outdo her mother in wealth and love, even as she herself sinks into the severities of a mental disorder.

Into the Calderón’s charmed lives steps Baron Victoire Toblowski, the vengeful Pol driven in exile from Saint-Domingue at the height of ĽOuverture’s rise to power. Without means and penniless, and a vaunted peerage his only leverage, he has long set his sights on seducing some wealthy Creole matron into marriage―a reputed availability said to be had among New Orleans’ galaxy of too-soon widows.

As his philandering ways launch him from the seamy dins of territorial subversives and the spectral haunts of the Voodooese to the glitzy salons of Creole gilded society, by cordial introduction he runs across the Calderóns, of whom Eloisa assays every shameless advance to gain his eye. Yet the mysterious nobleman is drawn to Gato from the start.

But wooing Gato’s affections only proves a jousting of wits, sending Victoire on a course that leads him into witnessing to a grisly murder. The ensuing trial and its unsettling verdict, by way of the Code Noir des Gaul, exposes the day’s most counter-intuitive extents to which the law applies to and defines persons of color, made more apropos by what Victoire had earlier uncovered of his own African heritage.

As a ravaging scourge of yellow fever descends upon New Orleans, Victoire is impaled on a dilemma. If he can secure Gato’s hand, does he deny himself and set sail with white expatriates intent on aiding the mulatto insurgency at Saint-Domingue in overthrowing ĽOuverture? Or does he reveal the truth to Gato and run the risk of losing his high place in society as well as the woman he has somehow fallen in love with?

The “resolution” of Victoire’s quandary culminates in a bittersweet ending when a vista of the New World’s promise is unveiled in hopeful clarity. In her most decisive hour, at a time when England yet for a second time hurls war upon the fledgling nation at the Battle of New Orleans, the Old World is given a glimpse of the first fruits of the potential power of America’s racial unity.

With his newfound power, Vincent struggles with whether or not he should create another time-turbulence to free Emika from the grasp of Akane once and for all.

Angels & Patriots: Book One by Salina Baker

The first book in the Angels & Patriots series is Free from February 2nd to 6th! Perfect for any military fantasy reader.

Sons of Liberty, Lexington and Concord, Bunker Hill

On the eve of the Revolutionary War, American patriots are leaving their homes and families behind to stand firm against the British. What these early Americans do not realize, is that while they prepare themselves for their battles, a war is simultaneously playing out among the soldiers—one that poses a far greater threat to their lives and souls.

Demons that God created to kill a brotherhood of fallen angels are fanning the embers of the Revolutionary War to draw the angels out of hiding. They walk and fight alongside patriots and British soldiers alike.

Archangel, Colm Bohannon, leads his angel brothers to Boston to track down the demon leader and to warn John Hancock, Samuel Adams, Dr. Joseph Warren, and the Sons of Liberty that the British army is not their only threat.

About A Vampire Bewitched by L.E. Wilson

Tormented by their fated attraction. Forbidden to be together. He’ll give his life to protect her. Even from himself.

Nikulas finally has a new lead on his brother’s disappearance, a feisty witch named Emma Moss. The problem? Emma is smart and courageous and her scent is impossible to resist. And that scares the hell out of him. Emma deserves more than an eternity with a vampire, but the moment he tastes her blood, Nik knows it’s too late. Her life is now linked to his.

Emma still has nightmares about the night her sister was kidnapped—the scars she bears all over her body a constant reminder of what happened—but she hasn’t given up hope. So, when a seductive stranger calls claiming to have a new lead, she doesn’t hesitate to go meet him. With his teasing manner and pretty-boy looks, Nikulas seemed harmless enough for a vampire. But Emma could sense the predator beneath…

He needs her blood to survive. But can Nikulas save her from the one thing that may ultimately destroy her—himself.

The witch is MINE.

Author Bio:
L.E. Wilson writes romance starring intense alpha males and the women who are fearless enough to love them just as they are. In her novels you’ll find smoking hot scenes, a touch of suspense, some humor, a bit of gore, and multifaceted characters, all working together to combine her lifelong obsession with the paranormal and her love of romance.

Her writing career came about the usual way: on a dare from her loving husband. Little did she know just one casual suggestion would open a box of worms (or words as the case may be) that would forever change her life.

Lattes and music are a necessary part of her writing process, and sometimes you’ll find her typing away at her favorite Starbucks. She walks two miles to get there, to make up for all of those coffees. On the weekends she likes to have date nights with her favorite guy.

On a Personal Note:

About The Winding

Would you alter reality for love?
Morally complex, orphan, and absolute genius Vincent Abajian is hellbent to uncover all he can on Artificial Intelligence. His relentless pursuit distracts him from a traumatic childhood loss—his childhood best friend Akane was engulfed in a time-turbulence, a random rift in space and time.

But when a beautiful, temperamental, post-doctoral scientist, Emika Amari, joins his Center, everything changes. Vincent is convinced that Akane is inside the irresistible Emika. As they begin a life together, Vincent’s past and his connection with a time turbulence survivor challenge everything they’ve created and push them into a spiral of politics and conspiracy. Vincent’s silence to protect Emika threatens to tear them apart. Unknowingly, Emika is torn between what she wants and what Akane wants from her. With his newfound power, Vincent struggles with whether or not he should create another time-turbulence to free Emika from the grasp of Akane once and for all. But will tinkering with time be more destructive than anything he has ever encountered before?

About Outwit the Workplace Bully: 8 Steps You Need to Know to Reclaim Your Career, Confidence, and Sanity by Dawn M. Johnson

It’s time to reclaim your career, confidence, and sanity.

Is there a bully in your workplace? Researchers estimate that 49% of the US Workforce is impacted by workplace bullying annually. Unlike harassment or discrimination, workplace bullying is not illegal in the US. Organizations are often slow to react—citing the conduct as simply a personality conflict between two coworkers.

Workplace bullies select their targets carefully. The bully’s goal is to erode the target’s confidence, undermine their professional reputation, and derail their career. They often succeed. Once the targeting starts, the employee often has a no-win choice—leave or endure intense amounts of psychological abuse and humiliation.

In Outwit the Workplace Bully, the author speaks from personal experience as a target. She developed an eight-step process that will help you determine if you are being targeted, show you how to build your Bully Intelligence, and inspire you to take strides to rebuild your confidence and career.

In the book you will learn how to:
• Recognize the signs that you are being targeted
• Develop your Bully Intelligence
• Prevent the bully from using you against you
• Protect your professional reputation
• Rebuild your confidence and resilience
• Get the support you need
• Empower yourself and others

About Bound by Kat Kinney

Teacher by day, fantasy writer by night, West Caldwell was forced to live in secret long before werewolves and vampires accidentally outed themselves on social media, causing a worldwide freak out. One slip of his rare Omega magic bound Topher Greer to him against his will. Now that magic threatens to fracture even further—just as shapeshifters are being abducted off the streets of Austin, Texas.

Topher Greer, EMT and former prisoner of the most dangerous vampire coven in Texas, is one of the few who can sense the presence of undead blood. He’s been marked for death by the Vampire Nation—who hold his brother hostage. Things with West Caldwell are… complicated. Pack law doesn’t forbid relationships between newly changed werewolves and their sires. But West has more walls around his heart than a high-security vampire prison.

To avoid the coming war and save his brother, Topher will have to turn to the most unlikely of allies—and untangle the feelings between him and West Caldwell for once and for all.

About Stealing Iris: A Dark Mafia Romance (Blood Ties Book 1)

FREE 02/03/22 – 02/04/22

The moment our eyes meet, I want her…and I always get what I want.
The fact she belongs to someone else isn’t important.
Until he makes me an offer I can’t refuse…

I claim her innocence with driving force.
I should be appeased.
It should be enough.
Only it’s not.

She’s in my head, taking over my thoughts,
becoming an addiction, a driving need.
But something’s wrong.
What it is, she won’t say.

I’m a boss in my world, a kingmaker to most,
with resources and power in the criminal underworld.
If they thought they could play me,
they’re not prepared for the consequences.
And if I find out he hurt her… there’ll be hell to pay.

**This is a Dark Mafia Billionaire Romance series containing mature themes, adult situations, and graphic violence. If you are not prepared to deal with this, please pass on the opportunity.
**The story starts with Stealing Iris, continues with Saving Bonnie, and ends in Seducing Mattie.

About The Butcherbird Tree

Author Bio:
My first foray into the world of writing came in the shape of “Covidiots – Stories of Idiotic Acts and Bizarre Behaviour”, co-written by myself and Natalia Gómez Álvarez as we tried to make sense of the way people were reacting to the early throes of the pandemic back in March and April 2020. A light-hearted look at human nature, but with a serious undertone that runs throughout this short compendium of true stories, which we felt we just had to share with the rest of the world.

Then along came my first novel, “The Butcherbird Tree”, released in August 2021. Set in 1994, it tells the story of Simon Webb, an eighteen year-old fighting an internal battle of guilt and self-harm and his conversations with his psychologist. Secret desires, self-effacing feelings, personal and professional doubts and gruesome nightmares all reveal themselves in the emotional meetings between client and therapist, until true meaning of Simon´s dreams become astonishingly clear.

The second novel in the two-part Butcherbird Series is due out in the spring of 2022.
