Author Bio:
Author of “Your Next Big Idea: Improve Your Creativity and Problem-Solving” (2021)

So, what makes me someone to learn about the creation of ideas from?

Throughout my career, I have seen how the idea process works in all different sized companies.

I have started multiple startups both as part of a team and by myself. One of the companies I was a co-founder of was Wundershirt, which at its peak sold athletic training clothing to Olympic athletes prepping for the 2016 Olympics. During the startup growth process, I have been part of multiple incubators and have watched and observed how many startups came to be.

I also have worked for a company that was part of the INC 5000 fastest growing companies. Here I was selected to be a part of the R&D team to help work towards developing new products. Working at a fast-growing company you can see how the ideas come to be and problems are handled by members of a successful small business team.

Finally, I have worked on business development for a company part of Fortune’s Future 50 list and Fortune’s Fortune 500 list.

In my career, I have been watching and creating ideas for all levels of business from the startup phase, to the high-growth phase, and even for large companies.

This has allowed me to have a unique perspective on the idea process and allowed me to look at the whole idea of creativity, problem-solving, ideation and innovativeness from an angle that most people have not seen.

While most of the time I am at work when I am not working though you probably can find me at an amusement park, playing board games or drinking coffee from a local coffee shop.

Indigo Dusk: A Fallen Angel Fantasy Romance 

About Indigo Dusk: A Fallen Angel Fantasy Romance

When Kairi Freemont happens upon a winged man on her parents’ Tennessee Ranch, she’s given what she’s wanted ever since the day she was diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome: An escape from the pain of her chronic, invisible illness.

Through the power of the Aetherial Sun, Aro shows her there’s not only a place where her pain disappears but that she can live in a fairytale world of Unicorns, Fae, and magic she’s always wished was real. But when Kairi discovers that meeting Aro was no accident, that she may have lived a whole past life at Aro’s side before being stolen away by the monstrous Draconians, things start to spin out of control.

Are the Draconians, a race of banished dragon riders who have long since lost their precious reptilian steeds, as monstrous as the rest of Aetheria believes? And what lies at the heart of Aro’s motivation behind sweeping Kairi off her feet? Is it simply flirtation and his desire to give her a better life, or is the truth far more malicious than she could have ever expected?

A Promise to Keep 

About A Promise to Keep

1197/2012
For the last five years, Marion has kept the promise she made to a medieval knight, one Giles de Soutenay, to deliver two Epipens every year at Whitsuntide via the mystical beech tree which once catapulted her back in time. As long as Giles is able to provide these devices for Prince John, he will be able to keep his lands…and his life.

But this year, Marion is in hospital. Desperate to keep her word, she entrusts the devices to Shannon, her daughter. Shannon only has to place the Epipens in a hollow in the roots of the old tree. However, she has recently been betrayed by the man she trusted. Still hurting and embarrassed by the pity she sees in the eyes of her friends, she just wants to get as far away as possible. And she can’t get much further away than the twelfth century.

Hildegarde, Abbess of Sparnstow, is expecting a visit from Giles. She is not expecting a young woman from 2012. As Shannon stumbles her way through the social niceties of the twelfth century, she will discover that some things never change.

Although this is book 2 in the Out of Time series, it can be read as a standalone novel. It was published as second in the series, but chronologically, it comes after book 3, Blossom on the Thorn.

Crown of Dust 

About Crown of Dust

Treachery. Betrayal. Death. Peace takes a brutal toll on the world.

A generation after a savage civil war, Mata rules as Prince Regent. But the festering wounds of the past remain. The Realm’s ancient religion wanes. A new creed rises. Treacherous lords lurk in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

The Realm’s uneasy peace shatters when a foolish young noble rides against Mata in open rebellion. The wearied ruler must once more rouse his old body to defend his family, his people, and his right to rule. But in the red mist of battle, Mata’s distinction between justice and evil blurs.

If he can push back the usurper, Mata will usher in a new era of peace. But if he fails, he will condemn his people to more vicious bloodshed.

The Romans: A Captivating Guide to the People, Emperors, Soldiers and Gladiators of Ancient Rome, Starting from the Roman Republic through the Roman Empire to the Byzantine Empire by Captivating History 

About The Romans: A Captivating Guide to the People, Emperors, Soldiers and Gladiators of Ancient Rome, Starting from the Roman Republic through the Roman Empire to the Byzantine Empire by Captivating History

It is probably the greatest story in all history: how the people in a tiny village on the Tiber River took over the entire known world of its day and developed brilliant literature, buildings, armies, roads, and laws that we still talk about thousands of years later.
This great empire was strong and invincible at its height, yet it eventually fell. How was that possible? Did these great people become soft? Were the rulers too greedy? Were the tens of thousands of their slaves a poor economic foundation for long-term survival? Did the astounding depravity and public debauchery of some of their best-known emperors undermine the moral presence and force of Rome?
In careful detail, this book will let you understand the remarkable, little-known reasons behind the breathtaking rise of Rome. And also, exactly how and why this truly great civilization collapsed to the wonder and astonishment of all those looking on at the time.
If you want to learn more about the glorious history of Rome, get this book now!

Wonders In The Deep 

About Wonders In The Deep

Free on May 4, 2021

Love. Loss. Hope. Heroism. Is there safe passage through the torrents and storms of life?

Wonders In the Deep is a dramatic illustration, an emotionally charged depiction of the elements that keep us human, fuel our spirit, and give us the courage to continue.

The life of eighteen-year-old Brandon Lawrence is one riddled with questions. Pained sore inside, he seeks answers that have been swallowed deeply by his own grandfather, whom he lovingly calls Pap. How did his parents and grandmother die? Why does his grandfather resent Natalie, Brandon’s best friend since childhood? Why is he forbidden to step foot on a boat, to ride the waves of the sea? Will he ever find answers?

Pap’s journals. Could they hold the secrets?

Set in the rocky and rugged coastline of Maine, the story uncovers Brandon’s world in the summer of 1998. The 1930s and 40s of his grandfather’s world are now over, along with the flat plains of a corn-belted Illinois town he had decided to leave as a young man. What had happened to cause a man to run from a life he couldn’t handle? What had turned Pap into a man withdrawn from life? A man holding tight to the secrets of his life.

Sitting alone on the same weathered dock Brandon had come to with Pap every Thursday growing up, he tries to piece together the puzzle of an unspoken life. Face to face with the only solution he knows, he must choose between honor and answers; an act of thievery plagues him hard, haunting and jolting his conscience. If his grandfather is too brokenhearted to speak of such things, could Brandon steal the answers he needs from the journals?

Wonders In the Deep is a soothing balm, medicine to a hurting and wounded soul. Faced with the harsh realities of grief and loss, two men embark on a great journey to find healing in the deep and uncertain oceans of life. As you journey with Brandon and Pap, you may identify with their struggles.

Is there true triumph over adversity? How far will one go for answers? How far will you go?

As a career firefighter in Columbus, Ohio, he rediscovered his love of writing as a cathartic way of dealing with the daily horrors of seeing people die.
After having four books published by a publishing company who ultimately closed their doors, he has since ventured out on his own. That’s right, everybody. “Hi, my name is Doug. And I’m a self-publisher.”
And if risking his life, occasional soul-crushing book reviews, and being the father of a teen-aged boy isn’t enough of a beating, he’s also been learning jiujitsu for a few years. What the Hell is wrong with him? (The answer is probably Freudian of some kind.)

Capes 

About Capes

From the Multi Award Winning & Best Selling author of “Gated”, “Asylum” & “Abra-Cadaver” comes an epic sprawling novel, a unique Horror/Thriller/Murder Mystery based within a dark super hero universe for FREE!

He fell from the stars and changed the world. Suddenly there existed a super being much like those that only existed on the pages of comic books, but not everyone took to the newcomer nor what he represented and some would seek to destroy what they perceived as a blasphemer.

It has been 30 years since the team disbanded. Jamie-Lyn Anderson had been the young reporter who’d stumbled across the alien’s arrival. She’d formed a close friendship with him as he’d settled into his new surroundings. He’d taken her with him when The Queen’s Guard had been formed and she’d worked the PR for the team under the government’s direction.

Now as an established face of TV news she is about to find her old life colliding with her new. The Queen’s Guard may have long since gone their separate ways but a brutal murder on live TV is about to bring them all back together whether they like it or not.

Scattered around the world they return to face the demons long thought buried as a new threat rises, one that might bury them all if they can’t find the ability to work together one last time.

Secrets and lies are exposed as the truth is ripped free from the grave shining a light on everything thought hidden with a dark conspiracy that may very well tear the entire country apart. A roller coaster of bloody violent action and murder is revealed as the mystery deepens and nothing and no one is quite what they seem.

With great power comes certain death.

Wisdom from a Distant Galaxy, The Ascendant Intelligence by M.G. Hawking and Heather Cantrell 

About Wisdom from a Distant Galaxy, The Ascendant Intelligence by M.G. Hawking and Heather Cantrell

Free on Amazon 05/04 – 05/06/2021, always Free on Kindle Unlimited. The author spent sixty-two months deep in the Great Range of the Himalaya, during which time he and his companions experienced three encounters with individuals they believe to have been the true extraterrestrial “star beings” of ancient Tibetan and Himalayan legends. Experience these extraordinary encounters and the ascendant intelligence they conveyed.
Throughout the Himalayan regions of Asia, there have endured remarkable accounts of “extraterrestrial beings” who, having arrived in an antediluvian era of prehistory, still dwell in a concealed inner region of the immense frozen fortress of the Great Range.
Are these ubiquitous legends merely myths? Or are they representative of some vaguely remembered reality passed down through generations beyond count? Absent an ember, there can be no smoke; there is a kernel of truth in all such ancient legends, and in light of today’s astronomical knowledge they cannot be easily, or wisely, dismissed.
Data from the Kepler Space Observatory has revealed that, rather than the previously estimated 200 billion galaxies in the observable universe, there are more than ten trillion galaxies (Center for Astrophysics, Jan 2020). To put this in perspective, if you hold a single grain of sand at arm’s length against the night sky, the tiny patch of sky it hides contains more than 100,000 galaxies—not 100,000 stars, 100,000 galaxies. These range in size from dwarf galaxies with a few billion stars to giant galaxies with 100 trillion stars.
The incomprehensible immensity of our universe inspires a deep sense of awe—and inspires as well many questions. What’s really out there? Is there life anywhere else? Clearly, the number of stars in our universe is beyond the mind of man to number, but what about planets?
NASA has verified the existence of over 3750 exoplanets, that is, planets orbiting other stars in our Milky Way galaxy. “It’s very exciting,” said NASA’s Dr. William Kinney. “It opens up the universe. Now we know that we’re just one of billions and billions of small worlds that are very much like ours. If you extrapolate that to our galaxy as a whole, the calculation based on the Kepler data is that there are around 40 billion planets like earth.”
The 40 billion planets “like earth” is the number calculated to be in our galaxy alone, and the Milky Way is only one of the estimated ten trillion or so galaxies. This makes a rough estimate of the number of planets in the known universe to be 80 sextillion (an 8 with 22 zeros behind it). To offer a frame of reference for that number, picture all the grains of sand on every beach on earth, multiply that picture by 16, and you may get an impression of how many planets are out there.
Transcribed directly from the journals of explorer M.G. Hawking’s five years in the Himalayan regions of Nepal and Tibet, this book contains detailed narratives of the encounters and conversations the author and his companions had with the legendary Himalayan “celestial goddesses,” as the Tibetan term translates. During their second and third encounters, the celestials disclosed profound intelligence about our universe, our planet, and our true nature, wisdom that can greatly assist in understanding ourselves, our world, and our role and power in creating precisely the life we desire.
An incomparable book for anyone interested in expanding their knowledge and personal power, and deeply rewarding for those fascinated with the ancient accounts of extraterrestrial influences. 2020 Edition, Kindle e-reader page count 285 (estimated, actual count varies with the reading device used). For more information, please see the ‘Look Inside’ feature on the book’s Amazon page. Thank you.

Gaijin Samurai by Jergus Stevko 

About Gaijin Samurai by Jergus Stevko

Maku was not born in Japan, nor did he ever visit it. Despite that, he is now on a fishing boat bound to Kobe as the first foreign bred samurai, ready to fulfil his mysterious destiny.

Maku’s boat ports in Kobe. He survived the harsh journey only on dried fish and hard liquor, in order to traverse the harsh landscapes and grimy cities of Edo era Japan. Not knowing much about him initially, Maku is looking for any means that can help him reach Tokyo, where his true intentions with Japan lie. The first man he meets is a local pharmacist, who needs help with a suitor who keeps writing love letters to his wife, in exchange for camping gear, so Maku can traverse the mountains and hunt to provide for himself. Despite being a samurai, Maku tends to deal with situations in his own, unique way, following the samurai code on the very edge of acceptability.
Join us on this bite sized adventure ranging from the ports of Kobe, via the forests of central Japan, scary alleyways of Osaka, to mount Kito, all the way to the capital. Experience the combined struggles of a samurai who is also a stranger in the land of the rising sun.
Persistence, trickery, action, fights, great food and amazing nature. Following the classic samurai route, accompanied by wonderful illustrations of Masayatz Murasame, a local artist, will take your breath away and grip you until the very end, where Maku’s true intentions in visiting Japan are revealed.
How could one become a samurai without ever visiting the land? What lessons can we learn from Maku? What is to be found in Tokyo, that he could not fin anywhere in Europe? And what is up with the constant offerings of salty cod? All this to be revealed in this historical snapshot of feudal Japan.

Author Bio:
A young Slovak teacher of Mathematics, who loves writing in his free time. I have been actively writing short stories and novellas for 7 years and recently published my first piece of work, Gaijin Samurai, which I wrote in partnership with Masayatz Murasame, a Japanese illustrator.
Currently, I reside in Vietnam where I am a high school math teacher at a bilingual school. At 29-years of age, I do think I have some worldly experience of living in various countries, such as Slovakia, Vietnam, Czech republic, France or Denmark. My stories try to reflect on that and hence my inspiration is often geographical as much as it is introspective.
In my spare time, aside from writing, I enjoy cooking and eating various strange foods (I am no stranger to duck embryos, intestines or insects on my plate), playing with my pet cat and dog, spending long evenings having a drink and discussing global issues with my fiancé or just riding my motorbike and scouring for inspiration in the ten million city of Ho Chi Minh.
Visit my website gusowrites.weebly.com where you can read some of my short stories for free and get a better idea about who I am and my unhealthy obsession with dark and grimy topics and people, both in fiction and real life.

 



Before – Jared’s Story By Gina Detwiler 

About Before – Jared’s Story By Gina Detwiler

Release Day May 4th!!!

FREE on Kindle Unlimited!!

Born in the mid-nineteenth century to a family of itinerant circus performers, Jared didn’t understand why his body grew so slowly or why his parents were ashamed of him and tried to hide him from the world. Through the years he discovered more disturbing things about himself—his unusual strength, the way his body healed with remarkable speed, and the “shadow people” who whispered dark and terrible things in his ear. Only music seemed to subdue their wicked urgings, and the prayers of his mother, the one person in his life who had loved him.

He soon came to realize that he was a danger to the world, and it would be better if he left it alone. But the more he tried, the more he was drawn into a whirlwind of darkness and evil from which he couldn’t escape.
