About Nomad Capitalist by Andrew Henderson

The world has changed forever. Governments have expanded their reach over their citizens’ lives, power is being consolidated by an elite few, and the world economy has become more volatile and unpredictable.

Meanwhile, the internet, a globalizing world economy, and the emergence of the developing world present opportunities to anyone willing to make simple changes to their life.

Geography is no longer a limitation for those willing to follow Andrew Henderson’s ‘Five Magic Words’ and “Go where you’re treated best.”

As the world’s most sought-after expert on offshore tax planning, second passports, and global citizenship – cited by the BBC, Bloomberg, Elite Daily and more – Andrew has condensed his last ten years of investigative world travel into an unprecedented book to help entrepreneurs and investors keep more of their own money, live where they want, become citizens of the world, and improve their lives and the planet.

Direct. Honest. Experienced. Unapologetic. Practical. Transparent. Even funny. The Nomad Capitalist will show you how to take his “E-K-G” formula to ENHANCE your personal lifestyle, KEEP more of your money, and GROW your money by living, investing, banking, and doing business overseas.

From foreign companies to offshore accounts and from overseas investments to dual citizenship, you’ll find everything you need to know to begin a life of international proportions, storing gold in super-secret vaults, finding love in exotic locations, and improving everything from your health to your tax bill by simply “going where you’re treated best.”

It is no longer enough to be a digital nomad. Those who want complete freedom from the world’s broken systems must become Nomad Capitalists, learning to navigate the world system to reclaim their freedom and rediscover the possibilities of capitalism’s greatest promises.

About The Truth Within

Danny Patterson is having one of those days. You know the type; you wake with a debilitating hangover in your filthy flat which now has a corpse in the hallway, find out God has framed you for murder and help the creator of the Universe kidnap your ex-fiancé who you’re still in love with.

No? OK, so it’s just Danny then. Not that Danny is the only one having a bad start to the Easter weekend.

Jenny Thomas is still failing to come to terms with losing her soul mate. She could have done without him coming to her home with a deity that insists on being called Dave who kills several people to prove his divinity. God has picked the atheist Danny and the religious Jenny to save humanity, and their mission is twisted in Biblical proportions.

Completing the trinity of troubled souls is an awkward policeman charged with finding a murderer but finds he is looking for answers about his childhood, it is soon clear they are all looking for the truth within.

About Traitor Knight

~** Only $0.99 April 15th through the 30th!**~

When Morgan McRobbie rescues a damsel-in-distress from a dragon, he expects she’ll swoon, murmuring “My hero!” Instead, Marissa has only loathing for the man everyone believes will betray Kilbourne. That’s fine with Morgan. A woman in his life would just complicate things.

A high-level informer threatens the kingdom’s security, and Morgan is out to stop him. Posing as a turncoat himself, he’s walking a fine line between honor and betrayal. A single misstep could result in disaster, and his mission is fraught with distractions: the pesky dragon, a pair of conniving courtiers, and the disillusioned damsel who’s certain Morgan can’t be trusted.

If Morgan’s going to save the kingdom, win the girl, and manage to stay alive, he’ll need to step up his game. Because the traitor is lurking in the shadows, and his scheme calls not just for the betrayal of Kilbourne, but also the destruction of Morgan McRobbie.

Keith W. Willis graduated (long ago) with a degree in English Lit from Berry College, which has the distinction of being the world’s largest college campus. He now lives in the scenic Hudson Valley/Adirondack region of NY with his wife Patty. Keith is certain those rumbling noises attributed to Henry Hudson’s crew are really just the dragons grumbling. Keith and Patty have one grown son, Matt, who actually thinks it’s pretty cool that Dad wrote a book.

Keith’s interests include reading classic mysteries, fantasy and sci-fi; camping and canoeing; and cutthroat games of Scrabble. He began writing seriously in 2008, when the voices in his head got too annoying to ignore. When he’s not making up stories he manages a group of database content editors at a global information technology firm. TRAITOR KNIGHT (Champagne Books) is his first published novel, and has won awards for both fantasy and romance. The second book in the Knights of Kilbourne series, DESPERATE KNIGHT, was just released in August 2017. SFF World calls DESPERATE KNIGHT “”…a swashbuckling, drama, and punch- (or slap-) filled romp; it’s a tangled web of politics, motives and emotions, all held together with a wonderful dose of heroics, romance, fun and general chaos – and a dragon. Of course.”

About Vegan Cookbook: 101 Quick and Easy Healthy Recipes for Beginners

Will a man die without meat? Of course not. He will die without pleasure. A roasted piece of meat is a pleasure, it’s on the tip of the tongue, it’s in the head and thoughts. Why salt so binds and after we became salted food, without salt – not tasty. Because salt is a strong irritant of sensitive recipes at the very tip of the tongue. When it falls down – it’s all the same. And here – when it smells, when it shines, when on the tip of the tongue … But the food without meat and meat and dairy products is tasty, aromatic and still very useful. Here are collected simple recipes of vegetarian cuisine: nothing animal.

About Run to You (Run Series #1)

He wanted my complete surrender, I wanted his everything…

Dark. Raging. All-consuming.

Sebastian Black was guaranteed to leave destruction in his wake. From the moment our eyes met, he had a hold on me. I knew what he was proposing would destroy me. What I hadn’t planned on was his ability to make me crave destruction.

I wanted, craved, and needed him like nothing I had ever desired before. Running from the shadows of my past, I lost myself in him. I knew my darkness could ruin us, but I didn’t understand the power of his to do the same.

My dark, brooding, impeccably-sexual, alpha-male had his own crosses to bear. I wasn’t sure I was strong enough to handle them, or the woman who helped chain him there.

One of my composition students, Maggie Wendell, wrote a paper about the first day of her first class as a freshman at Ohio University. It was a public-speaking class, and she was shocked when she learned that the professor was going to have the students speak for five minutes without preparation on a topic that the professor would tell them. Maggie is a student who likes to be super-prepared for every test and every assignment, so impromptu speaking is not at all her thing. When it was her turn and she got her topic, she immediately began staring at the back wall and spewing whatever verbal diarrhea came into her mind. She even invented an Asian-American friend as she talked about the youth in Asia. When her five minutes was up, she stopped talking and saw that the other students were looking at her and trying to stifle laughter. What was wrong? Were her pants unzipped? Her professor said, “Thank you, Ms. Wendell, for your enlightening talk on the youth in Asia, but your topic was euthanasia. You may know it better as mercy killing.” She said weakly, “I know what euthanasia is,” sat down, and after the class was over, immediately dropped it and took another class. Fortunately, embarrassment plus time equals comedy, and by the time Maggie was a senior, she thought that what had happened was funny.

Apparently, I am either the first or second person in the world to translate all 38 of William Shakespeare’s plays into today’s English. (BOOKCAPS has done this kind of translation, but I don’t know how many authors worked on their retellings of Shakespeare’s plays. Of course, many people have written summaries.) I may also be the first person in the world to translate at least three of Ben Jonson’s plays and at least two of John Ford’s plays into today’s English.

It was a dark and stormy night. Suddenly a cry rang out, and on a hot summer night in 1954, Josephine, wife of Carl Bruce, gave birth to a boy—me. Unfortunately, this young married couple allowed Reuben Saturday, Josephine’s brother, to name their first-born. Reuben, aka “The Joker,” decided that Bruce was a nice name, so he decided to name me Bruce Bruce. I have gone by my middle name—David—ever since.

Being named Bruce David Bruce hasn’t been all bad. Bank tellers remember me very quickly, so I don’t often have to show an ID. It can be fun in charades, also. When I was a counselor as a teenager at Camp Echoing Hills in Warsaw, Ohio, a fellow counselor gave the signs for “sounds like” and “two words,” then she pointed to a bruise on her leg twice. Bruise Bruise? Oh yeah, Bruce Bruce is the answer!

Uncle Reuben, by the way, gave me a haircut when I was in kindergarten. He cut my hair short and shaved a small bald spot on the back of my head. My mother wouldn’t let me go to school until the bald spot grew out again.

Of all my brothers and sisters (six in all), I am the only transplant to Athens, Ohio. I was born in Newark, Ohio, and have lived all around Southeastern Ohio. However, I moved to Athens to go to Ohio University and have never left.

At Ohio U, I never could make up my mind whether to major in English or Philosophy, so I got a bachelor’s degree with a double major in both areas, then I added a master’s degree in English and a master’s degree in Philosophy. Currently and for a long time to come (I eat fruits and veggies), I am spending my retirement writing books.
