Author Bio:
First of all, I’m a wife and mother. I’m also a grandmother. That alone would fulfill any woman’s life. To be honest it does. But…..

I’m also a writer. Someone who loves to tell stories of love, suspense, heartache and of course happily ever after. For most of my life, I’ve written those stories for myself. A type of therapy, I suppose. I love the characters I create. They become part of who I am because there’s part of me in them.

About Broken Petals: Inside the cracks of lust infused desires (Book 3 in the Mated Fortune Series)

Isabella
Life is complicated, but I didn’t think I would ever fall in love with a man who didn’t pay for my time. I thought that was it for me. A real opportunity for normality until he decided to leave. He was everything, and suddenly I was back to being the popular loner. Frank held me down, though, with loyalty as we navigated our way back to life. This was until the thread on the mundane world broke, dropping our lives deeper in the web of lies and blackmail. Then, just when we thought it was over, circumstances occurred that shifted us into a heightened state of survival. Life was no longer a pleasant adventure, but a never-ending trip filled with monsters and real-life gargoyles, plotting to take us down as they executed their agendas. This time though, Frank and I would work to heal our broken hearts and slay to win.

About Life’s Map

The last seven days have been the toughest in my life, but what I’m feeling right now is unfathomable to me.”
Life’s Map starts the story of two brothers, Sahil and Nikhil. Unfortunately, Sahil lost his life to tragedy. Now Nikhil is left to travel the journey of life alone. Sahil, Nikhil’s younger brother, faces a lot of struggles in this story. Seeing Sahil die in front of him and having no idea what to do, Nikhil felt helpless. What happened to Nikhil after he lost Sahil, and how did he cope with everything that happened to him afterward? In what ways did that experience transform him?

Human life has a greater meaning and purpose. Most of us live our everyday lives without ever thinking about its true meaning. We end up spending our life finding happiness, pleasure, getting social acceptance, and in day-to-day struggle. Many external factors drive us and distract us from achieving our actual goals.

“LIFE. I have never looked at life from this perspective before. Life has never been so delicate for me. Before now, I had never considered death. Now, life seems so fragile. We live like we will be here forever. The truth is, it takes a second for life to go.”

Life, struggle, death, and the journey that follows are all discussed in this book. From the perspective of Life’s Map – the journey that most of us take – the book discusses the root cause of all human problems, misery, and unhappiness. Life’s Map presents a concept that answers all questions and leads to freedom and ultimate happiness.

This book will show you how to find true happiness and real meaning in your life.

My name is Mayank, I am a passionate designer, innovator, budding writer, and blogger. I love to write about human psychology, self-help, and social issues.

My life has been profoundly impacted by an unfortunate tragedy in the last few months. My life’s journey became my inspiration to formulate Life’s Map. The objective of my life has now shifted towards finding the meaning and purpose behind it. Last year, a tragedy befell my family which has profoundly impacted my life. My life’s journey became my inspiration to formulate Life’s Map. The objective of my life has now shifted towards finding the meaning and purpose behind it all without following any preconceived notion. With my first book, Life’s Map, I am sharing with the world my journey of transformation.

At this point in life, I feel, I have two personas.

First: A pure awareness without a name, ego, and description. Any name or description would limit this persona, and no explanation could suffice it. This persona is the consciousness of the present, ever-changing without any form.

Second: for dealing with day-to-day life, my past with name and background, this is explained in the book.

About my background, I grew up in a small town in India. I spent my entire childhood in the province, surrounded by nature, books, and incomprehensible hobbies, not understanding my career path. Subsequently, I completed my Master’s degree in Design from IIT, Kanpur. I have been working in the software development industry for 16 years currently heading a team of designers in India.

About Featured Book: Shine a Light by Nicky Corcoran

Free on Amazon kindle unlimited
£1.99 for Kindle
£3.99 for paperback

‘Shine a Light’ literally shines a light on real life experiences, some of which are personal to me. This collection of poems shows just how vulnerable we can be when nature and fate unexpectedly throws things our way – yes, life can sometimes be cruel!

In certain situations, we have little or no control over what can happen to us but sometimes, we can be lucky too.

Although none of us can escape fate, there are however certain things we can do to lessen the blow.

My message is simple. We need to take responsibility for our actions and work together to eradicate the greed, selfishness and ignorance that can obstruct and hinder the environment and the world in which we live.

The poems contained in this book will leave you, the reader, with mixed emotions. Some will make you laugh, some may make you sad and others will perhaps strike a chord within you and evoke happy memories of your own.

Shine a Light. Like a huge lighthouse towering over murky rough seas in vast, deep dark waters and rescue teams on the way. Would this be enough to bring you to safety? Would the rescue teams find you? Do they all have what it takes? Will they go ‘the extra mile’ or would some of them want to turn back too soon.

Have you developed the strength of mind that it takes to survive? Will you sink or swim or even keep your head above water?

This Poetry book is available in these Formats: eBook, Print

This book is in Kindle Unlimited!

About Just imagine. A praying formula for success, happiness and fulfillment. By Hebert McQuinn

Just imagine is a book that teaches the understanding and application of the underlying principles in Bible stories in order to help you succeed at achieving whatever you want to achieve and becoming whatever you want to become with relative ease. Following these teachings makes such success almost an exact science. It contains a break down of concepts like faith, prayer, consciousness among others and elucidates on the relationship between God and man in a way that traditional religion mostly fails to do.

About Ulysses S. Grant: A Captivating Guide to the American General Who Served as the 18th President of the United States of America by Captivating History

What do you know about Ulysses S. Grant?

Ulysses S. Grant is perhaps one of the most unsung heroes of American history. He was one of the crucial leaders of the American Civil War. After all, it was due to Grant’s actions that the Battles of Shiloh and Vicksburg were won. And it was through Grant that the final terms of the Confederacy’s surrender were signed.

That is pretty good for a military man who actually dropped out of the military! Yes, prior to the war, Grant quit the life of a military man in favor of living on a farm with his young family.

Yet, even though he tried to take a detour in life, he could not escape his fate. And he found himself back in the army just in time to lead the nation through the worst and most divisive war it had ever seen. After the war, he once again rose to prominence to become the eighteenth president of the United States. From his perch in DC, he oversaw the reconstruction of the South and championed the Civil Rights Act of 1875.

However, for all the good that he did, some of his less noble associates managed to get him embroiled in controversy with their corrupt dealings. After two terms as president, Grant was ready to leave the drama of DC behind. He traveled the world and met with all of the leading lights of his day before settling into his final years with nothing left to do but write his memoirs and reflect on his great life. Keep reading to learn more about how that great life actually unfolded.

In this book, you will learn more about:
• Ulysses S. Grant’s early life and his love for horses
• His entry into West Point and how a simple typo led to the name we know today
• Grant’s rise through the ranks during the Mexican-American War
• His service during the Civil War and the major battles he was a part of
• The ups and downs of the Grant presidency
• And much more!

About The Best Way To Control Bladder Problems And Urinary Tract Infection Relief For Men And Women

Sharing the story about my life and what I’ve been through is the last thing in my mind. Even though I am ashamed of my vices, I am proud of my family’s achievements and, of course, my restaurant. I then thought that I would like to inspire people and help them be informed about bladder problems and how can be cured. Never allow bladder problems to take control of your life. Always be informed. Use the magic of the internet to search for excellent products that can help you. Take it from me, a widower that has been given a second chance in love and life. I never thought that I could enjoy life again. It’s like I was reborn from all the pains and sufferings from my wife’s death.
Bladder Problems are mostly ignored by people suffering them—men and women of a certain age, children, and people from different walks of life. Signs and Symptoms are being disregarded, and before they know it, complications are present. Most of us are ignorant and not well-informed. That is why we mostly mislook it or mistake it as a familiar feeling like we are only stressed. For instance, I was so devastated by Margaret’s sickness and death, so I ignored the feeling. To add up, I’ve been hooked on smoking and drinking; it made it all worsts. Being under a lot of stress and dealing with my wife’s death was what I thought was the reason I acquired it because of suppressing emotions, but the truth is I ignored my feelings and the symptoms.

About The Artist and His Muse

It is dawn. One man puts the final touches on his greatest work and smiles at the addition of a woman, huddled in a red cloak. With a flourish, he makes the last stroke of his brush and steps back to admire his masterpiece. The character he added draws the eye into the world of trees and hills. It is perfect and he knows his career is made. He glances around but the woman who inspired perfection isn’t there. Only a folded red cloak rests on the rock where she sat earlier. Picking up the cold fabric, the artist sighs. He must find her because he knows his life, and his creativity, will never be complete without the mysterious woman’s presence. But first, he must meet a duke and receive his reward for achieving the impossible.

Author Bio:
Astrid is a USA Today Bestselling and Literary Classics award-winning author, social anthropologist, and transformational life coach. She grew up in South Africa and currently lives in Malmö, Sweden (after having lived in many exciting and interesting places) with her husband and their two children.

Her South African-German heritage and the experiences of living and integrating into other societies have given Astrid a great deal to think about and process. The training in anthropology has given her the tools to think beyond simple stereotypes and ideological explanations of social interaction, while the understanding she has of the human potential to achieve anything we put our minds to, which underlies her certification as a transformational life coach, allows Astrid to see what is possible and to appreciate the human capacity to achieve success in the face of adversity, no matter the obstacles.

Astrid’s parents instilled in her a love for books, and the natural world that we inhabit. This love has led to a deep appreciation of the written word and the desire to contribute as much as she can towards improving the state of the world. Astrid would like to use her expertise and passion for cultures to help us move forward.

She writes transformation fiction: incorporating transformation principles in novels, rather than writing another self-help book. This is more than Up-lit. Astrid’s books are intended to be uplifting, but also to provoke thought and help people question the situations they find themselves in, as well as to identify how they themselves can transcend their circumstances.

Astrid is very interested in minority group questions, considerations on social standards of beauty and the negative consequences these have and would like to make the fantasy genre accessible to people of non-white, non-Western backgrounds. Astrid feels the fantasy genre has become too restrictive with limited representations of race, ethnicity, and culture, and seeks to explore other paths on this writing journey, incorporating her background in anthropology and psychology to create engaging experiences, which also provide food for thought on the diverse topics she finds most important, such as racism, minority rights, cultural diversity, culture change, intolerance, humanity’s environmental impact and much more.
