Marina J. Bowman is a writer and explorer who travels the world searching for wildly fantastical stories to share with her readers.

For her current story, Marina is investigating Pineapple Cove, a mysterious island located somewhere in the Atlantic.

Marina enjoys sailing, flying, and nearly all other forms of transportation. She never strays far from the ocean for long, as it brings her both inspiration and peace. She stays away from the spotlight to maintain privacy and ensure the more unpleasant secrets she uncovers don’t catch up with her. Marina’s last name is pronounced baʊmən, and rhymes with “now then.”

As a matter of survival, Marina nearly always communicates with the public through her representative, Devin Cowick. Ms. Cowick is an entrepreneur who shares Marina’s passion for travel and creative storytelling and is the co-founder of Code Pineapple.

About The Dead Boy’s Club

Fifteen-year-old Harper J. Ellis lives in Juniper Hollow, a hotbed for paranormal activity. Here the dead outnumber the living ten to one, and strange occurrences are a way of life. Most of the residents choose to ignore the odd quirks of the small Victorian town.

But not Harper.

She’s perfectly content to spend her days in the graveyard, reading paranormal romance books at the foot of a tombstone. Like many girls her age, she obsesses over boys. However, it’s her taste for all things strange and unusual that prompt her to start a club.

A pulse isn’t required, but a flair for ghoulish fun is.

About A VIEW OF BRITISH POLITICS

After three years of a parliament in chaos, Boris Johnson’s 2019 General Election victory has stabilized the House of Commons and left the Labour Party in disarray. But why do politicians go so wrong in believing certain individuals are worthy of power when from the outset some leaders have little hope of winning? My theories of the qualities a leader must possess and the kind of policies he/she must espouse are detailed in this essay on British Political History (1964-2019). My unique viewpoint has developed over 50 years of political interest and observations.

About Lie For Me

Maybe I can borrow this beautiful single mom for one night to get what I need.
Get your mind out of the gutter.
My benefactor is up for donating a large sum of money to my retreat center and he needs a little persuading.
Perhaps a ready-made family is just what the doctor ordered.
Except I’m falling for this woman and her girls.
My single life is falling apart as I try hard to avoid love and fail.
I’ve been running my own private wilderness retreat and I love it.
Just me, nature, and solace.
Until her. Our paths cross as she comes to the retreat center for a company getaway.
My mind spins a million webs and my body percolates at the possibilities.
She’s the one. I can feel it. But I need this to be more of a business transaction than a love affair.
I’m hoping I can lie to myself about what’s happening with my heart.
At least long enough for her to help me get financing for my company.
All I need is for her to lie for me.

About The Greatest Movement in Human History: How We’re Going to Overcome Our Difference, Solve Our Biggest Problems, and Change the World by Randy Lynn, Ph.D.

Free through 1/1/2020!

“Insightful and honest, this no-nonsense guide to tackling some of our biggest social problems is exactly what we need right now.”–Amy L. Best, Professor and Chair, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, George Mason University

Changing the world is a skill. Right now, we’re bad at it…but we can learn how to be good at it.

That’s the powerful message at the heart of this transformational book. Deftly and accessibly pulling together decades of social science research, Dr. Lynn explains what we know about how to create social change—and what we’ll need to do to address our biggest problems today.

The result is a bold, inspiring—yet realistic—prescription for how to pull ourselves out of our current divisive, dysfunctional crisis…and get our society on track:

—How we get in each other’s way as we work for social change—and how we can work more collaboratively.
—How we can get millions—if not billions—of people of all backgrounds and beliefs united around a common cause.
—How to avoid the power struggles, purity tests, and ideological bickering that hinder so many good causes.
—How the people of the world can gain the upper hand over our feckless, corrupt governments and greedy, exploitative corporations.
—Why the typical liberal, conservative, libertarian, and socialist prescriptions for reining in our major institutions are either wrong or incomplete.
—The tactic nearly every single movement embraces in order to boost their numbers in the short term…that ultimately ends up crippling them in the long term.
—The golden rule of successful social movement strategy, according to the guy who literally wrote the book on how to topple oppressive dictators.
—The wide array of ethical, nonviolent techniques we can use to bring about positive change—and which ones are best for our current situation.
—Why you absolutely should not, under any circumstances, imagine that you need to give up your most cherished beliefs—or bully other people into giving up theirs—in order to address our biggest problems.
—How to talk to negative, stubborn, or closed-minded friends, acquaintances, and loved ones—so they won’t shut down or retreat even further into their own shell.
—How to cultivate change in your own community that’s aligned with the big, global changes we need.
—How to identify what you’re maximally capable of giving to changing the world—and how to give it without neglecting your other obligations, giving up all your free time, or burning out.
—Why all our hopes for “change” have been dashed in recent years—and why you shouldn’t give up hope just yet.

There’s no magic formula for curing the world’s ills—but this book comes close. Whether you’re itching to get more involved or already struggling to make a difference, The Greatest Movement in Human History tells you everything you need to know to make the world a better place as quickly and effectively as humanly possible.

About Searching For Sophia

After receiving the horrible news that his ex-girlfriend and love of his life, Sophia Hernandez has become a prime suspect in a murder case, naive aspiring pastor, Rigel Santiago leaves the rural-looking city of Tagaytay where he grew up in and heads to the district of Ortigas to find Sophia and prove her innocence.

As Rigel investigates he begins to piece together the events behind Sophia’s disappearance. He digs up the criminal ties that she’s made. As he makes his way through a world of murderers and dirty cops he slowly finds himself being corrupted.

And when Rigel finally finds out the truth behind Sophia’s missing two years, he comes to the horrible realization that neither he nor Sophia could ever go back to their old lives ever again.

Searching for Sophia is both light and dark. It’s funny at times and downright heartbreaking the next. It’s about the morally ambiguous things we do in order to save and protect the people we care about. It raises the question of whether or not Christian morals could stand or even exist in gray areas and the harshest of moments. It asks the readers the ultimate question “Is God truly sovereign in our darkest days?”

Author Bio:
Alistair Radley was born on January 30, 1989, which makes him kind of old and halfway to becoming a senior citizen. When he was in his third year of high school his well-meaning class adviser recommended that he take up journalism in college. He was young and clueless so he didn’t really bother to consider anything else and chose the college that was closest to his house.

After graduating a four-year course in Journalism, he realized he had zero interest in working for any news outlet or even just watching the news or reading the paper and that’s how he ended up working for a film company as a brainstormer and a trainee scriptwriter. After realizing that he was terrible at writing full-on romantic comedies and dramas he moved on to write novels and decided to use the name Alistair Radley as a pseudonym.

Radley became a Christian on January 30, 2011, where he came to the realization of his sins and the forgiveness of God through Jesus Christ. Now, he has dedicated his life to using his gifts and talents to move the Great Commission forward. At the end of his life, he longs to hear the words “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”

Radley is fond of spamming people with weird Christian memes in Tumblr and Instagram. It’s important to note that he’s too embarrassed to use his real name because it sounds like a chicken throwing up and he also decided to hide his face because he didn’t want to potentially scare any children innocently browsing the net without their parents’ permission.

In his spare time, he likes to read theology books (you know, to pretend that he knows stuff to impress Christian girls) and watch sports car reviews online (his favorite ones are the ones he can’t afford… in short, all of them).
