About Glitched by e a lake

Glitch – A glorified snitch
Peeb – Common citizens living under the oppressive government
Selmo Nithiw – The mysterious, unseen, almost mythical leader of the Peebs

This is pure dystopian! Edgy, raw, real.

Think of it as a combination of Orwell’s Big Brother and The Usual Suspects.

It’s 50 years in the future. It’s still America, just not an America that anyone will recognize.

The government’s evil reach chokes its citizens. So much that they, the people of the United States, have started a secret revolution. Their target? The tyrannical establishment that means to keep the people oppressed.

A small band of anti-government citizens fights in Minneapolis. Their unseen leader, Selmo Nithiw, has a part for each of them to play in the battle.

Their weapon of choice is not a gun, but computers and people. Hopefully, with scores of planted people, they can bring their government to its knees and regain the power.

Led by a misfit known as Trent, one group works feverishly to save the government’s latest nabbed Glitched citizen – Trent’s friend Lucy. Time is against them; they’ll have 12 hours to try and save her. If that’s what is truly best for all parties.

Will Lucy live? Will Trent and his gang be discovered? Will Selmo Nithiw show himself? Will America survive?

About On His Knees by Adira August

Sometimes it’s the cop who needs to hit the floor…

As a homicide cop, every blood-soaked crime scene settled in my bones and snaked around my spine. There was only one way to exorcise the images from my soul …

Inside the club, I stopped to scan the room. He was here, Camden Snow. A Norse sex god in the guise of unpretentious youth. Only his ice-blue eyes gave evidence of the Dom who took whomever he wished, whatever way he wanted, with a look and a nod. Merciless.

Cam found me watching him and fixed me with his arctic gaze. This time, I didn’t walk away. He cocked an eyebrow. Well?

The last thing I needed was mercy.

I dropped to my knees.

M/M BDSM 13k words. A frank exploration of the D/s dynamic between two powerful men. Consensual. Adult. Intense.

TYPOS ARE MY TRADEMEARK

I write mostly BDSM EROTICA because I love exploring the power dynamics in terms of the love relationships. The work is explicit. It’s always consensual. If you have triggers about certain kinds of practices, use discretion. I do not make kink lists for my titles.

I went to school interminably, it seemed like. I studied anthropology and paleontology and genetics and literature and theology and ancient Greek. I chased down bad guys, raised children, climbed mountains, played poker, searched for dinosaurs and have had a rather large number of lovers. (I’m not giving up any numbers because TMI) Through it all, I wrote.

No wonder I’m so tired.

About Blockchain: Bitcoin, Ethereum & Blockchain: The Beginners Guide to Understanding the Technology Behind Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency

“What the Internet did for communications, Blockchain will do for trusted transactions”.- Ginni Rometty, IBM CEO

Cryptocurrency and it’s disruptive architecture, Blockchain, is now heading the biggest revolution in the Finance sector for the last 100 years.

There is a lot of hype surrounding Cryptocurrency & Blockchain, but what does this actually mean for us? What is this new technology? Why does it matter and how can we capitalize?

These questions are not always answered with due diligence in the sea of headlines that deal with digital currencies.

As a result, many people are left with an incomplete understanding of this transformative new technology and its massive implications for the future.

The goal of these books is not to plumb the depths of mathematical wizardry, as much of the available information dealing with cryptocurrencies and assumes a fairly advanced level of experience with cryptography, computer programming, financial markets, and mathematics in general, but rather to serve as an introduction to the broader architecture and conceptual background of cryptocurrency technology.

For Centuries, people have relied on third parties and corrupt Centralized Institutions like banks and Governments to serve as intermediaries when it comes to storing and transacting financial assets.

This is ALL About To Change…

Make sure you take action and join the Financial Revolution.

About Isaac Comett: My Life as a Shard Knight

The coldest of seasons has set in, filled swords, robots and family drama.

When aliens come marching into the sleepy city of Mantlestown, Connecticut, the only ray of light in the thick gloom is from a tiny stone that cost Isaac Comett five dollars (plus tax).

Young Isaac believed his only job in middle school was to blow off homework, play video games and try to get a date with his crush, the cunning local delinquent June Farnell; not defend his hometown from vicious space pirates! Yet when a Memorite Shard, the most powerful substance in the universe was placed around his neck, all of that changed.

With he and his small circle of friends bound to the power-giving stones, Isaac is pulled from his comfortable life with his single mother and younger brother, and forced to fight a secret war against the merciless Captain Straum. With each passing hour, more questions about their abilities and unyielding attackers arise, and their only source for answers is another shady alien, and fellow shard wielder named Chenzo.

Lying to his mom and swinging a sword become Isaac’s new life as he, June and the others train to become Shard Knights; defenders of the Memorite. Unfortunately for him, he’s the team’s weakest link, and the challenge to survive the one year bonding period feels more impossible with each clash. And what’s worse, his estranged father Zack is back in town after a year long hiatus, ready to “set things right”…again.

Will Isaac defeat Straum’s army of mechanical warriors, save his family and live long enough to put on his graduation cap, or will Comett burn out like so many others before him? Join Isaac, June, the slick talking Austin, his brainy beauty girlfriend Emma, and the comic-book loving daydreamer Fiora in this epic sci-fi rumble and see!

Have you ever experienced such periods of life when you feel that you are drowning, and trying desperately to keep afloat? You have just lifted your head over the water for a moment to take a sip of air, and the next moment you have plunged to depth again? Different situations and emotions make you feel a victim of a cruel world – and you think that this happens only to you?

It is seldom that everything in life goes according to our plans. However, hardships on our way serve as valuable lessons for our growth. The problems we face allow us to evaluate the victorious moments better and to look with the perspective of the beauty of these hard challenges. It is practically impossible to avoid problems with all the complexities of today’s life.

As a rule, we usually consider all forms of discomfort as something that should be prevented. However, this attitude only feeds our suffering. With our endless cycle of thoughts, we feed the situation emotionally, that is we create an unconscious cycle which doesn’t only paralyze us physically but also provides zero support in solving the existing problem.

We set some particular program already when we finish school because we need to enter the university immediately. Just after graduation from the university, we start making a career, even if we are not entirely satisfied with our choice of profession – we are just sorry for the time spent on education. We go to the work we do not like because we need to get money somehow. We go to the next step, then the next and the next one again, thinking that we fulfill the items on our plan. However, one day we feel disappointed. We feel exhausted. We feel like being pressed but don’t understand why.

Here You Will Learn…

Change of Perception

Cleaning the Past

You Can’t Fill a Full Glass

How Not to Repeat the Errors of Your Past?

Is Life Without Suffering Possible?

How to Stop Suffering?

Bonus! How Do We Destroy Our Life? (Complete collection – save $2.99)

Jessica Monks is a long time resident of Massachusetts. She holds a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration and Equine Management, as well as a MA license in Riding Instruction. Her writing career started with horror screen plays made for her own enjoyment. Her first Novella The House on Hayden Pond was released May of 2017. Currently she is working on a thriller but plans to write a prequel to The House on Hayden Pond. She uses her Maladaptive Daydreaming Disorder to write with vivid intensity. Her work can be described as lots of events without a lot of fluff. Every chapter drives the intense plot forward.

“MDD in a nutshell means that I daydream about 70% more than a “normal” person. The daydreams are not like regular daydreams they are much more elaborate and extremely vivid. Like a movie played out in your mind that you can observe or be a part of. People with MDD are 100% aware that these daydreams are not real in any way. It’s impossible to stop because it’s subconscious. It often happens while preforming regular everyday tasks. I am also extremely positive and instead of dwelling on this I use it to my advantage to write. In reference to the House on Hayden Pond when I say I know every inch of that house and every character intimately it’s because I’ve been there. I have seen it all unfold.”

About Secrets of the Ancient World, Shangri-La: The Himalayan Journals of M.G. Hawking

Explore the first modern account of the reality of an extraordinary legend that has endured from the very threshold of history, the Fabled Lost World of Shangri-La.
First depicted in the novel Lost Horizon (Hilton, 1933), the concept for Shangri-La was inspired by the legends of Shambhala that are so prevalent in the ancient wisdom traditions of cultures throughout the Himalayan regions of Asia and beyond. Scholars relate that the 4000 year-old scriptures of the pre-Tibetan Zhang Zhung culture are the earliest extant references to this mysterious realm, yet it is represented in a wide range of ancient texts: the pre-Buddhist B’on writings, the Kalki lore, the Puranas, in the earliest texts of the Kalachakra Laghutantra (c. 500 BC), and in the even more ancient Kalachakra Mulatantra (c. 900 BC). The Zhang Zhung and Tibetan scriptures refer to the hidden sanctuary as Shambhala I lam-yig, B’on treaties as Olmolungring, Hindu histories as Aryavarth, Chinese as Hsi Tien, and Russian traditions as Belovoyde. In the Western world, it has of course become best known as Shambhala, Shamballa, or Shangri-La.
In an esoteric treatise composed in the early 1500s by Ensapa Lobsang Döndrup, the Third Panchen Lama describes his extraordinary visit to a land of wise masters hidden in the Himalayas. A rare manuscript written in 1592 by Antonio Monserrate, a Spanish missionary to the court of the Mughal emperor Akbar, speaks of his experiences in a remote valley in the high mountains where great sages reside. A remarkably similar account is found as recently as the late 1700s, written by the esteemed Sixth Panchen Lama, Lobsang Palden Yeshe.
On an extended trek in a closed and largely unexplored inner region of the majestic Himalayan wilderness, in an isolated valley surrounded by vast snow fields and towering ice peaks, explorer M.G. Hawking chanced on a beautiful small village where he encountered remarkable men and women, introduced to him as “masters” and “adepts.”
Our team at Wisdom Masters Press has worked diligently to compose a series of books based on Hawking’s records of his five years in a remote region of the Himalayas and the highlands of Tibet. This was a complex assignment; Hawking had accumulated over 14,000 pages of hand-written journal notes, along with another 4,500 pages of field notes, all of which had to be sorted, cataloged, and organized in a manner conducive to producing books from such a treasury of material. Yet it was a fascinating if formidable task, one which so often filled us with a deep sense of wonder and inspiration.
We have published a book series, ‘In The Valley of Supreme Masters,’ covering the first several years Hawking spent in the Himalayas and Tibet, along with a number of companion volumes, each of which focuses on specific topical or experiential material. This book, The Passage to Shangri-La, contains an anthology drawn from both the primary series and the companion volumes. These anthological narratives contain detailed accounts of Hawking’s various experiences and conversations, including first-hand accounts of the psychokinetic abilities he witnessed and in-depth descriptions of his discussions with the masters and sages, revealing the esoteric knowledge that made such extraordinary abilities possible.
A truly incomparable book for anyone interested in greatly expanding their knowledge and personal power, and notably fascinating for anyone interested in exploring the realities underlying the ancient legends of Shangri-La. 2017 Edition, a Kindle Unlimited Book, e-reader page count 221 (estimated, varies with the reading device used).For more information, please see the ‘Look Inside’ feature on the book’s Amazon page.

About Le mot de la fin by Zlatko Topcic

L’accusé, poète devenu à son corps défendant sniper dans l’armée de Bosnie-Herzégovine durant le siège de Sarajevo, a-t-il vraiment commis le monstrueux crime dont on l’accuse: l’assassinat de deux fillettes serbes pour venger les deux filles de celle qui fut son premier amour? Ou s’agit-il d’un procès monté parce que, issu d’un couple mixte sur le plan de la nationalité, «de tous et de personne», il semble un coupable idéal dans la quête d’une balance entre les criminels de guerre des deux camps? Ou encore, a-t-il été victime d’une vengeance machiavélique de la part d’un mari trompé, membre d’une unité très spéciale des services de sécurité? Dans la procédure judiciaire, le rôle du jury est tenu par le lecteur qui, sur la base du filet de preuves et de déclarations contradictoires, doit reconstruire les événements d’une guerre déjà lointaine et porter un jugement. Mais l’accusé, au lieu de se défendre, récapitule sa vie et fait le bilan de ses pauvres amours, «comme si, dans ma vie, il n’y avait rien eu d’autre, ou que rien d’autre ne méritait d’être évoqué».

About What’s in Your Surname?: The Fascinating Story of British Surnames by William Lewis

This Amazon NUMBER 1 BESTSELLING BOOK (Genealogy) tells the engaging story of when our surnames first came into use, why they were necessary and how people acquired them. At some point we all consider our surnames – many of us will wonder about the stories behind them, especially if they are unusual. Those of us with British surnames possess that magic thread which leads back nearly a thousand years to a time when surnames were a new idea on this side of the English Channel. There have been many books with surnames as their theme: dictionaries of surnames, books about unusual surnames, heraldry, researching family history and so forth, but there are few books which look at British history solely through surnames. Although the origins of the majority of British surnames lie in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, the author shows that the near-Continent, especially France, has contributed its share too. The author has provided accounts of over 2000 of our surnames. Within this book the reader will find the answers to many questions about our surnames and will perhaps encourage its reader to pursue the study further.
