About INSPIRATIONAL STORIES : Collection of Inspiring and Motivational Stories

Reading has been known to give us a lot of benefits, such as mental stimulation, reduces stress, you gain more knowledge and most of the times, the book that we read are free. In our fast-paced world, there is hardly time to do what must be done—let alone read books. No wonder fewer people are reading books, and far fewer still are reading motivational books. Despite the glowing promises on the cover, many believe that it is a false assurance. It is a pity that motivational books have a poor reputation with some people.

Self-help/motivational books are indeed full of extremely helpful advice that inspires and aids countless people, but there are also those with ideas that are of doubtful value or are possibly even harmful. Even famous books can have dubious parts, which means that readers of self-help/motivational books must not just believe everything they read. However, it is no simple matter to separate the grain from the chaff.

About PSYCHOLOGICAL AWARENESS OF OUR EXISTENCE

The world, Man, Society. These three concepts are mutually and inseparably linked to each other. All my life I’ve been trying to realize their connection. To find answers to why things are as they are. Right from birth, the person begins to enrich his mind with information about the surroundings, so he can find his own way of survival. To build and improve his skills and implement them in the world. One of the most vital skills is the ability to find his inner enlightenment and let it guide his life. To unleash his inner instinctive power. To become aware of the fact that we are far more complicated than flesh-covered beings living in a physical world. The world of the spiritual exists and is as real as the physical one. Precisely through the awareness of the different aspects of our existence, we will have the opportunity to make the connection and enrich ourselves from within and from the outside. To control all our emotional states of the mind.

Life- the most wonderful element of the creation. Physical, spiritual, dynamic. Physical, created particularly for planet Earth. Spiritual, created specifically as a continuation of our consciousness in another dimension (Start of the everlasting life) after the death of our earthly body (End of the physical life). On Earth, the spirit is embedded in our physical body. We live two lives simultaneously- spiritual and physical, but only the spiritual has value, since its eternal.

Life experiences stay in the center of our personal improvement. To change our perception of the social, physical and spiritual world, we need to understand the experiences are the key to unlocking the inner deepest corners of our minds. What is more, we can only perceive the emotional states such as depression, fear, apathy, and others, as objects, from which a lesson can be derived. A lesson, which builds our vision and perception of life in general.

It is specifically these interrelations that I have tried to illustrate in my book and provide a basis for reflection on our existence. I am giving an explanation of how different elements interact with each other. How the outside world influences the choices we make and penetrates in our mind to change our inner perception of it. I am describing the ability to control our inner nature so that we do not allow external influence to conquer our internal psychological states of the mind.

About This

BLUE EMMA FREE
On my fifteenth birthday, Christmas day, I reluctantly told Imogene I was pregnant. I had convinced myself that a baby could be good. After all, we had God, or I thought. She told me that I was going to end up like her a nobody, a hole, on my knees and back, wishing for death because God hated whores. Twenty-four years later, Imogene’s words reverberated in my mind as I sat on the concrete floor of the subway station planning my suicide and sipping on my Venti dark coffee. I was now jobless because I castrated the owner of the diner where I worked. I was now homeless because I was broke. I had gone on my knees, stomach and back to survive. And also, to seek pleasure. My desire to fall in love and be loved was one of many unfulfilled fantasies. My dream of being a chef, owning my own restaurant with a real working oven had died. That was until a flier floated next to me with words that angered and motivated me.

RYDER ASH HENRY
I was forty-five, damn handsome, famous, richer than Croesus and an addict. My passions were food, women, boxing, and coke. I used nose candy to make the blood that stained my hands and mind disappear. From the outside, men envied and wanted to be me and women wanted in my bed, in public, car or wherever. I obliged. I had a family that was heaven-sent. My daddy hung the stars and moon. My mamma was an angel. My grandmama was the Flex Seal that held us together. I had three of the best hellacious brothers in the world. My best friend of thirty years helped me build a culinary empire and had been the driving force to keep my spastic ways in check. I had a fixer, who kept my tattered knitted together. I lived life like I wanted to die because I did. That was until I saw her.

About Dead School by Laura Gia West

It is Valentine’s Day at John Hopkin’s High, and the disgruntled Tina Crocker is having the best day of her life as she performs at the school’s largest talent show. She kills it. Literally. The moment she steps off stage: Tina Crocker croaks and ends up in… Dead School.

Together, they are assigned to guide a living loser, in order to pass their course.

However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel… a rather long tunnel. Tina also meets a mysterious artist from the Suicide division, Alexei. And, somehow, their different breeds of awkward strangely click. As finals approach, Tina’s focus has to switch or else a miserable reincarnated life awaits. Yeah, rest in peace, my ass…

About Deadly Investment

At the cutting edge of finance, the language is geek-speak. So when Kantor Keppel, the genius creator of Australia’s first mutual fund managed entirely by computers, is bludgeoned to death, his widow engages Melbourne private eyes Gentle & Tusk, dubbed “the egghead and the beefcake.”

Former actuary Peter Gentle rarely dates, never exercises, and quails before violence. His mantra: data, analysis, conclusions. He partners with Mick Tusk, a formidable ex-cop battling cycles of rage and remorse. With the police baffled by a lack of clues and an array of suspects, with bodies piling up, the duo races through the mean streets and the rarefied world of investment to unmask the killer before they end up as the final victims.

A fraught, intricate murder mystery, Deadly Investment is the first in a classic private-investigator series exploring modern-day money embroiled in crisis.

But he has never faced a situation quite like this.

What exactly do you do with a letter informing you that your wife is dying of breast cancer when you’ve never been married?

Is it a bureaucratic failure or divine intervention?

I have been lucky enough to live my own version of a romance novel. I married the guy who kissed me at summer camp. He told me on the night we met that he was going to marry me and be the father of my children.

Eventually, I stopped giggling when he said it, and we just celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary. We have two children. The oldest is a Doctor of Osteopathy. He is across the United States completing his residency, but when he’s done, he is going to come back to Oregon and practice Family Medicine. Our youngest son is now tackling middle school and hopes to design video games when he grows up.

I write full time now. I have published two dozen books and have several more underway. I volunteer my time to a variety of causes. I have worked as a Civil Rights Attorney and diversity advocate. I spent several years working for various social service agencies before becoming an attorney.

About Evolution’s Path Omnibus Edition by Peter Hill

The complete series books 1-3 in one edition.

This trilogy takes place in the near future, it isn’t science fiction, it’s ‘faction’, and all the more chilling because you won’t find zombies here, or people suddenly endowed with super powers, just a cast of realistic characters struggling with the challenging events that overtake their lives.

Against a background of terrorist plots, political intrigue and espionage, the lives of three powerful women become inextricably entwined.

Fleur Nichols, a beautiful and astute investigative journalist, Wenna Cavendish, an ambitious senior MI5 officer and Simone Gofre, a brilliant lesbian virologist, leave their marks on world events and a stunning revelation will change the course of human history forever.

Evolution’s Path is a frightening look at the mechanics of an all-too-possible societal collapse and its aftermath.

It really could happen and this is how.

Excerpts from customer reviews:

Killing tomorrow

‘A gripping scenario. Well written and character driven … a credit to a master story teller.’

‘The multiple themes of this thriller suggest its title: population control, germ warfare, investigative journalism, corporate greed, terrorism. It was a well-paced read with the tension and conspiracy to keep you engaged.’

‘He very deftly links all aspects and the final chapter is chilling in its possibilities.’

‘Compulsive reading. I was gripped by this story from the beginning. Hill is a talented writer who has the ability to create a completely believable and terrifying future scenario.’

‘…this well-written book with its intriguingly woven plot…It seemed impossible that this cast of fascinating characters and their stories would all tie up neatly at the end, but they did, dramatically, and very satisfactorily.’

‘Author Peter Hill is a visionary storyteller. He does it with razor-sharp prose, and he isn’t afraid to tackle ambitious themes here: feminism, globalisation, environmentalism.
…a story so chilling in its realism, you won’t soon forget it even after turning the last page. It’s a dystopian narrative that sears itself into your mind.’

The Ladies’ Game

‘Epic story telling; intriguing premise drawing the reader in and keeping the pages turning.’

‘It has plenty of intrigue, fast paced action with the plot closely mirroring many of the contemporary issues being faced around the world today. It draws you further into the world of terror and espionage and the potential for dire consequences.’

‘Fleur Nichols, the strong-headed journalist, is on the run, pursued by ruthless enemies even as the world around her falls apart in an escalating viral pandemic…
Once again, themes of feminism, globalisation, environmentalism take centre stage as Fleur fights not only to survive a tumultuous apocalypse, but to separate lies from truth. At stake is the fate of humanity, and Fleur’s unborn child may hold the key.’

Procreation

‘A great conclusion to a fascinating trilogy. Well written, extremely thought provoking, and a thoroughly good read!’

‘The epic conclusion to blistering trilogy.
It’s bold. It’s scintillating. It’s the brilliant culmination of everything that’s come before.
Now that a viral pandemic has all but decimated the male gender worldwide, it’s the women who have ascended to political supremacy. The social order, as we know it, has been upended.
But all this just sets the stage for another catastrophic confrontation.
This is a techno-thriller completely unlike anything I’ve ever read. It’s controversial. It’s provocative. It’s uncompromising.
If you’re a looking for a post-apocalyptic story written with both emotional sensitivity and propulsive excitement, this is it. It’s Tom Clancy meets Margaret Atwood
Read the whole EVOLUTION’S PATH trilogy. I can’t recommend this enough. It really is something else.’

Author Bio:
GR Jordan is a self-published author who finally decided at forty that in order to have an enjoyable lifestyle, his creative beast within would have to be unleashed. His books mirror that conflict in life where acts of decency contend with self-promotion, goodness stares in horror at evil and kindness blind-sides us when we are at our worst. Corrupting our world with his parade of wondrous and horrific characters, he highlights everyday tensions with fresh eyes whilst taking his methodical, intelligent mainstays on a roller-coaster ride of dilemmas, all the while suffering the banter of their provocative sidekicks.

A graduate of Loughborough University where he masqueraded as a chemical engineer but ultimately played American football, GR Jordan worked at changing the shape of cereal flakes and pulled a pallet truck for a living. Watching vegetables freeze at -40’C was another career highlight and he was also one of the Scottish Highlands’ “blind” air traffic controllers. Having flirted with most places in the UK, he is now based in the Isle of Lewis in Scotland where his free time is spent between raising a young family with his wife, writing, figuring out how to work a loom and caring for a small flock of chickens. Luckily his writing is influenced by his varied work and life experience as the chickens have not been the poetical inspiration he had hoped for!

Her Montauk Romances are set in and around Long Island and feature simple, yet sophisticated beach houses designed with romance in mind.

About Never Buy a Raccoon at a Gas Station: Life Lessons for Children of All Ages

One of my favorite pets growing up was a raccoon named Bandit. He wasn’t by any stretch a traditional pet, but he was by far the most entertaining. The lessons that accompany these stories aren’t particularly deep, but the simple truths that I learned from our life with Bandit have served our family well. You might shake your head and wonder how and why our family had a pet raccoon. The short answer … my eccentric, animal-loving dad, and my incredibly kind and gracious mom. Perhaps the most amazing part is that every story you’ll read here actually happened—unbelievably, often unfortunately—it all happened. May you enjoy reading these stories as much as my family enjoyed living them. Download your copy on Amazon for free from 1/20/19 through 1/22/19.

About She Wore Black: The Alexis Chronicles Book One by JL Park

GreyBrook came for the women. Now, one is fighting back

Reed Taylor is not the demure girl her father tried to force her to be. She is defiant, opinionated and a danger to herself. Or, so the city of GreyBrook asserts, where merely being a woman is a daily hazard.

After a brutal abduction and assault, Reed turns to the Book of Prophecies, from those who came before GreyBrook. She seeks the Woman in Black spoken on within the Prophecies years ago, destined to save GreyBrook. She could be GreyBrook’s, and Reed’s, only hope.

Will the Woman in Black be found in time to save GreyBrook from itself, or has she been there all along?

About Feuding Fan Dancers -Stories of Sally Rand and Faith Bacon

Leslie Zemeckis continues to discover the forgotten feminist histories of the golden age of entertainment, turning her sights on the lost stories of Sally Rand and Faith Bacon―icons who each claimed to be the inventor of the notorious fan dance

Some women capture our attention like no others. Faith Bacon and Sally Rand were beautiful blondes from humble backgrounds who shot to fame behind a pair of oversize ostrich fans, but with very different outcomes. Sally Rand would go on to perform for the millions who attended the 1933 World’s Fair in Chicago, becoming America’s sweetheart. Faith Bacon, the Marilyn Monroe of her time––once anointed the “world’s most beautiful woman”––would experience the dark side of fame and slip into drug use.

About A Great Master Speaks, Immense Powers of the Ancients Revealed: The True Secrets of Dynastic Egypt by M.G. Hawking, Heather Cantrell, Amber Chellings

Free on Amazon 1/21 – 1/22/19. Discover the Secrets of Power as Revealed in an Ancient Manuscript written by a Supreme Egyptian Master, circa 1370 B.C. This book takes you on an extraordinary journey through both space and time, from the remote ice peaks of the Himalayan Mountains to the highlands of Tibet, and far back through the ages to the mystic landscapes of ancient Egypt. Echoing down those vast corridors of time is the voice of the supreme Egyptian Master Kalika-Khenmetaten, who authored her esoteric manuscripts under the patronage of the great Kings of Upper and Lower Egypt, Amenhotep III and his successor Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten), over three-thousand-three-hundred years ago.
Riveting, magical, inspirational, and richly enlightening, the story of Kalika is one of the most epic in history, and her writings reveal the great knowledge and power of the masters of those distant ages.
Fragments of the material presented in this book have at various times through the millennia appeared in the more profound Eastern philosophies and secret wisdom traditions of various ages. This is to be expected—the knowledge that conveys true power has an ancient and possibly conjoint origin. In modern times, relics of this knowledge have resurfaced in various formats, although unfortunately absent both the most fundamental elements as well as the most advanced elements of the wisdom system of the supreme masters. The writings of Kalika-Khenmetaten are absent nothing—they are all-encompassing.
Attaining the ability to directly manifest whatever persons, circumstances and events you desire to experience in your life cannot be truly or fully achieved through simplistic concepts of “positive thinking” or some alleged “secret,” as so many people have been disappointed to discover. Kalika produced her manuscript, The Golden Crown, for important reasons. It is to some extent a manual, a comprehensive guide to reaching higher awareness, written by a supreme master for masters, but not only for masters. Kalika intended that it could be utilized by persons of requisite ability to reach, through their own efforts, significantly expanded levels of awareness. It sets forth the foundational recognitions and essential principles of consciousness necessary to enable and master extraordinary creative powers.
In this book, you’ll learn from a true master how to empower your own creative abilities in every aspect of your life—wealth, health, relationships, love, happiness, and in every interaction you have in the world. If studied with care and practiced with intent, you will be enabled to recognize and utilize the hidden, untapped power within you.
The material in this book, owing to its nature, will if allowed come to possess a depth that will take on a life of its own. The knowledge and concepts expressed, when fully absorbed and diligently practiced, can yield truly enormous rewards.
We thank our wonderful readers for their requests for an enlarged edition of our first book exploring Kalika and her work: Kalika-Khenmetaten, The Supreme Egyptian Adept. We hope this volume will answer those requests for a book that includes the full story of the original discovery of Kalika’s manuscript, the process of translation, along with an expanded, in-depth examination of her life and writings. 2019 Edition, Kindle page count 442 (estimated, actual count varies depending on the reading device used). A Kindle Unlimited Book. For more information, please see the ‘Look Inside’ feature on the book’s Amazon page. Thank you.

About Castles by Benjamin X. Wretlind

When Maggie was six, she hid from desert storms under the sink where the Comet and Windex were kept. Now twenty, she welcomes the storms. Maggie has been abused, torn apart by the sins of others and constantly feels as if she is living on the verge of some grand epiphany, perhaps passed down through her Grandmother, perhaps given to her by God.

Then again, she may just be insane.

Clinically, it’s called schizophrenia and manifests itself through delusions, hallucinations, and/or disorganized behavior. It can persist for years and may worsen without treatment. Socially, it’s termed “unacceptable behavior.” Maggie doesn’t know if her latest actions are the only bricks left to her castle in the sky, but she hopes you’ll understand if they’re not.

How far would you go to build a castle in the sky?

About Small Talk: An Introvert’s Guide on Practical Ways to Start Any Conversation and Improve Your Social Life

– I am totally self-sufficient and I need no one in my life.
– Why bother going out when I don’t know what to say when I am out?
– How do I even start a Conversation?
– Even if I start a conversation, would the connections really last?
– Do you feel scared and uneasy whenever you are at a social function?

Sound familiar? I was exactly like you, an introvert who wanted badly to become more social but felt held back from doing so.

Eventually, I succeeded to stay introverted while being outspoken and social.

Now, when I go out, everyone around me thinks that I am an extrovert. When I tell them my story, they don’t believe it.

This inspired me to share my journey with others who may either be introverted or striving to improve their social skills.

Let me tell you how in my book…

Lance Rivers has his own complications, and surely Sophia can’t cure him either, despite her best efforts. No amount of reason can convince him he’s capable of loving a girl like her – though perhaps logic has little to do with it. Maybe pure, uncomplicated love isn’t made of rational thought.

Perhaps real love is only made of madness.

About Matej Stepan

One day something snaps inside Arthur Gibson, a burnt out manager tired by his rat race office life, and within one hour he sells everything he owns, flies to the sea, buys a sailboat and drives to the horizon, planning on never coming back.

What a stupid thing to do.

Of course this noble attempt to set himself free goes terribly wrong as the corporate environment didn’t exactly prepare Arthur well for an off the grid sailor’s life. So however free and independent he now feels, soon his biggest problem is how to survive.

His escape becomes an international media sensation thanks to Alice Garbo, an ambitious journalist who makes Arthur famous to boost her career. Millions admire his courage to ‘stick it to the man’, millions call him a coward. Soon, Alice toys with Arthur’s destiny as she pleases, moves him like a chess piece to make his story appealing to the audience. He becomes a wanted felon pursued by Interpol and so he finds himself almost dying on a boat he can’t drive, being chased by police for something he didn’t do and haunted by a media alter ego that has a life of its own. Arthur has bitten off more than he can chew.

Arthur’s Choice talks about taking a scary leap of faith when finding one’s personal fulfillment without conforming to where society tells you a true happiness is. In today’s fast paced, performance oriented first world, this book offers the answer to the question ‘what if I just said enough?’ The story is for adults struggling to find meaning or joy in mundane unfulfilling jobs, those tired by the contemporary speed of life.

About Reasons to kill God by I.V Olokita

About Dear Jane

Free Kindle promotion from 1/21/2019 – 1/24/2019
“With sophisticated prose, this gritty coming-of-age story blends the familiar and the unthinkable as the lead learns to use her voice.” –KIRKUS REVIEWS

Kit Kat was born in Athens, Greece. Her mother was a prostitute, and their protector was a pimp. After an early childhood marked by violence, homelessness, and time in an orphanage, a Greek-American woman adopted her and moved her to New York. Kit Kat was eight years old, with a new name, a new country, and a new mother who tried to silence her memories and experiences. She sought refuge in books, and after a failed suicide attempt at the age of thirteen, she discovered Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre. This book saved her life, and at fifteen, Kit Kat begins to write letters to Jane Eyre as a means of surviving a childhood she still remembers, the family she left behind, and the new mother that refuses to acknowledge her past.

Kit Kat’s letters to Jane Eyre demonstrate the resilience and power that she derives from Jane’s own dark narrative and the parallels between their lives that include being neglected, unloved, poor, orphaned, and almost destroyed by the madwoman in their lives. This coming of age and semi-autobiographical novel is about family, loss, forgiveness, and the power of a good book.

About Rodeo Summer by Jillian Neal

“Summer Sanchez has a plan:
Get full custody of her little boy from his good-for-nothing father and get as far away from the rodeo circuit as possible. Keeping her son safe is her only priority. She’ll figure out the rest later.

Until Austin Camden takes her to his bed… Champion bull rider, Austin Camden, shows her just how much she’s been missing. His rugged good looks, whisky-smooth voice and very capable hands set her on fire. He has more bedroom skill than she ever believed could be housed in one man. If she isn’t careful, she may never recover.

If he plays his cards right…
Austin will go home with the PBR buckle and Summer, the sexy little spitfire that’s his every fantasy come to life.

He’ll risk it all…
To keep her and her son safe when their lives together are threatened. Keeping her sated and making her his forever is just a bonus.

Can he convince her Camden Ranch is where she belongs before it’s too late?
He’s spent the last ten years chasing that championship buckle.

He’s about to discover that the ride of his life will have nothing to do with a bull.
It’s a no holds barred fight to the finish to prove to Summer that their scorching hot relationship is better than winning any buckle.”

“Bestselling author, Jillian Neal, was not only born 30 but also came accessorized with loads of books and adorable handbags in which to carry them, at least that’s what she tells people. After earning a degree in education, she discovered that her passion could never be housed inside a classroom. A vehement lover of love and having maintained a lifelong affair with the awe-inspiring power of words, she set to turn the romance industry on its head. Her overly-caffeinated, troupe-spinning muse is never happy with the standard formula story. She believes every book should be brimming with passion, loaded with hot sexy scenes, packed with a gut-punch of emotion, and have characters that leap off the page and right into your heart.

Her first series, The Gifted Realm, defines contemporary romance with a fantasy twist. Her Gypsy Beach series will leave you longing to visit the sultry shores of the tiny bohemian beach town, and her erotic romance series, Camden Ranch, will make you certain there is nothing better than a cowboy with some chaps and a plan. The sheer amount of coffee required to keep all of those characters dancing in her head would border on lethal, so she unleashes their engaging stories on page after page of spellbinding reads.

Jillian lives outside of Atlanta with her own sexy sweetheart, their teenage sons, and enough stiletto heels, cowgirl boots, and flip-flops to exist in any of the fictional worlds she brings to life.”

About Dead Man’s Hand by Steven Meehan

Marcus is a smooth talking lover of life, who excels at whatever he touches, especially Texas Hold’em. Armed with only his wits, powers of observation, and the proverbial ace up his sleeve, he is always on the lookout for the most exclusive games.

I haven’t always been an avid reader. When I was a kid, I would run away from books. I did whatever I had to do so as not to read. I watched a lot of television; it is simpler than reading, so it was a no-brainer for me. I did the whole summer reading the thing, but that was never for the reading, just the prizes. And sometimes, I didn’t actually do the reading.

Before I go on, I should mention that I do believe listening to an audiobook is just as worthwhile as reading a book. Regardless, how you bring the words into your mind, whether through letters on a page, pixels on a screen, or words through a speaker, the result is the same. Given my daily commute, I don’t have the luxury of time to read. However, with audible.com, I have access to all the literature I want. Audible.com is now my primary source of literature.

As I said, I wasn’t an avid reader in my youth. However, one day, when I was still in high school, a good friend of mine gave me a book to read, Wizard’s First Rule. I figured since he gave it to me and he was so excited about it, I would read at least the first few pages. After reading those first few pages, I decided to read the next few chapters, and then the next few chapters. Before I knew what had happened, I had finished the whole book. This single book, the whole series, in fact, was my entrance back into the wide world of literature that I had sought escape from for so long. If it hadn’t been suggested to me in just the right way, I would never have gotten back into reading. That is why this series will always hold a special place in my heart.

And as the saying goes, “Youth is wasted on the young.” Now that I don’t have the time to read I wish I could reclaim the time I wasted when younger and use it to read or write, rather than being so obsessed with TV. That said, there are some good shows on television, but they are few and far between. Some like Castle, Angel, and Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, have excellent story-lines and can be good for the brain. It also helps that they have a good dose of humor. Sadly, however, most TV shows are just candy, good in the short run but will ruin your health over time.

Now, what makes a good book, movie, or television show to me? Story is king, and the story will raise or sink whatever it is I’m trying to enjoy. The story, as a whole, has to be good. If any part of the story, beginning, middle, or end limps, then it can destroy the whole story for me. A perfect example is Unbreakable with Samuel L. Jackson and Bruce Willis. The movie was great right up until the end where I forever lost interest in it. Now television shows and a series of books are different. There will be weak episodes or books, but so long as it isn’t each sequel, it’s okay by me.

Now a good question to ask would be “What authors have had the greatest influence on me?” Well here is a list of the top ones in, no particular order.

Terry Goodkind
Jim Butcher
Rick Riorden
L. E. Modesitt Jr.
Patrick Rothfuss
Brandon Sanderson

About WATERSHED

“(O)ne of the most interesting books you’ll read this year,” WATERSHED is a thriller about a pregnant woman, and the two men-one a snake dealer with a sideline in secret messages and a billionaire living under an alias-who pursue her through a near-future America of anti-technology neighborhoods and illegal hospitals, where stockbrokers moonlight as assassins, nurses procure obscure pleasures, and the powers that be blow up the new World Trade Center to goose tourism. WATERSHED was named a Book of the Month by The Association of Independent Authors and recognized in Kirkus Reviews’ Stars & Recommendations section as “an appealing mix of adventure and contemplation.”

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“A highly readable, quirkily creative alternate reality that comes frighteningly close to real life… the present taken to its logical extreme… much more than social commentary.

It’s a genuinely captivating edge-of-your-seat thriller, which kept me reading from beginning to end, looking forward to each new chapter.” – The Lost Coast Review

“The world of WATERSHED is a vibrant one, packed to the gills with absurd and yet oddly-believable detail – everything from a September 11th memorial service that involves a full-scale recreation of the original terrorist attack, to a man who gets off on being locked in a coffin with a bag full of cats… Dodds manages to make all this and more seem not just possible, but vivid and tangible too… It’s the real deal.” – IndieReader Reviews (4.7/5 Stars)
