About The Path to Purgatory (Book 2 of the Sibyl Chronicles)

California 1870, a tall stranger named Mort Peccatum meets a mendicant friar escorting a companion in holy orders that carries an ancient relic recovered from the jungles of British Honduras. He is tasked as a sentinel to guard the man and what he carries in a stained satchel to the burgeoning, vice-ridden city of San Francisco.

There are many who await the arrival of the reliquary recognizing the power it contains. Among them are wealthy entrepreneurs, necromancers who practice the darkest arts, and Ema The Walker Between the Worlds. She is the only one that is able to send it to a place where it cannot be placated with blood sacrifices.

The forces of Good and Evil square off in the fog dense nights of San Francisco, where unknown creatures for both factions war against each other to claim victory. The prize: the lives of innumerable human beings.

About The Unknown Kingdom, Revelations of Shambhala: A Journey of Discovery by Michael Hawking

Free on Amazon 3/30 – 4/1/2020. Discover the Unknown Kingdom. You are invited to take an unprecedented journey into a fabled world to explore ancient knowledge virtually unknown to the modern world. Sweeping in an immense arc across South Asia is the Great Himalayan Range, an uninterrupted 1,500 mile crescent of mountains with over 110 peaks rising to elevations of 25,000 feet or more. Extending from Kashmir’s 26,600 foot Naga Parbat through Tibet’s 25,445 foot Namcha Barwa, the vast frozen fortress of the Himalaya cradles the most isolated areas of Earth’s landmass. Yawning gorges as deep as 16,000 feet and ice peaks towering over five miles high shelter remote, lushly forested valleys.
For thousands of years, the largely inaccessible inner portion of this wilderness has been known in esoteric literature as the Great White Island, and has inspired countless stories and legends that it conceals a kingdom of great masters possessed of transcendent wisdom and power.
Years ago, on an extended trek into the remote inner range of the Himalaya, explorer M.G. Hawking chanced on a small valley deep in the wilderness. Surrounded by towering ice peaks, he encountered a beautiful village, a mysterious realm referred to by its residents as Siddhalaya. Siddha, in Sanskrit, denotes a high adept or master; alaya means the abode of—for Siddhalaya is said to be the ‘Kingdom of the Masters.’
Hawking’s discovery marked the beginning of a series of extraordinary encounters and experiences. In that isolated community he had the privilege of meeting a number of remarkable men and women—introduced to him as ‘masters’ and ‘sages’—possessed of wisdom, knowledge and power virtually unknown in the Western world.
Transcribed directly from the journals and field notes Hawking recorded of his encounters with these sages, this book contains detailed narratives of his experiences and conversations, providing detailed, first-hand accounts of their esoteric knowledge and power. As entertaining as it is richly enlightening, this is an incomparable read for anyone on a spiritual path or seeking greatly expanded knowledge and personal power. A Kindle Unlimited Book. 2020 Edition, Kindle e-reader page count 320. For more information, please see the Amazon description and ‘Look Inside’ feature. Thank you.

“The rapists’ enemy
Alice Vachss was a brilliantly successful sex crime prosecutor in New York, winning 80% of cases. In Britain, the conviction rate for rape is only 5%. She tells Julie Bindel what we need to learn – and fast

Julie Bindel

First published on Fri 1 Jun 2007 04.04 EDT

Alice Vachss was once described by a judge as “a woman who drinks blood for breakfast”, but with her soft voice, small frame, and infectious laugh she initially seems anything but. It’s only when she starts talking about putting rapists behind bars that the description begins to make sense.

Once one of America’s most successful sex crime prosecutors, Vachss is in the UK this week, hoping to pass on her expertise to our criminal justice system. We certainly need it. With an estimated 47,000 rapes here each year, convictions running at a pathetic 5.6%, and much media coverage skewed towards anomalous stories of women who “cry rape”, her visit could not be more timely.

In her mid-20s Vachss spent a year volunteering as a counsellor in a male prison. It was there she realised that, to help criminals, she needed to understand the justice system, so she took a law degree and worked as a public defender. After this, she undertook a project that considered the needs of rape victims in criminal trials. “They all said the same thing,” says Vachss, “they needed a good prosecutor. So that is what I decided to become.”

In the 1980s she ran the special victims bureau of the Queens district attorney’s office in New York, and brought the sex crimes conviction rate up to an astonishing 80%. She prosecuted more than 100 serious crimes from referral to verdict, including rape, child sexual assault, elder abuse, domestic violence, cult abuse and homicide.

Vachss’s war on sex crime has made her powerful enemies in the US. After successfully prosecuting an influential man – a former director of a boys’ club – for sexually abusing boys in his care, she found out that he had done a deal with a supreme court judge. In return for pleading guilty to 89 charges against him, including the rape of young boys, he was told he would be given a non-custodial sentence so long as he agreed to tour the US warning about the evils of paedophilia; both he and the sentencing judge were to be paid speakers. Due to Vachss’s persistence, the convicted paedophile was eventually given a prison sentence, but she was sacked shortly afterwards in a departmental “re-organisation”. “Our district attorneys are elected officials,” she says, “which leaves the prosecutorial system wide open to corruption.”

During her time as a prosecutor, she saw few acquittals, but she still remembers every one. “It feels like you’ve been punched in the gut,” she recalls. “The hardest part is that you then have to tell the victim.”

Since leaving the special victims unit, Vachss, 58, has dedicated her time and energy to educating those within the criminal justice system on how best to investigate and prosecute sex crimes. She coined the term “collaborators” to describe those – including some judges, defence lawyers and jurors – who “provide a support system to rapists”. “My first lesson about sex crimes prosecution,” Vachss has noted, “is that perpetrators are not the only enemy.”

What are the biggest obstacles when it comes to rape convictions? Vachss is unequivocal. Prejudices held by jurors, and the reluctance, both here and in the US, to bring “difficult” cases to court, such as those involving prostitutes, drug and alcohol users, and teenage girls (all of whom are often seen as unreliable witnesses). I sat in on one such case with Vachss when she first came to the UK on her mission, 10 years ago. I clearly remember the look of shock and disgust on her face when she noticed the prosecutor asleep at her desk as the 15-year-old complainant was being torn apart by the defence.

“At least in my experience, there is no such thing as a sex crimes prosecution that is not ‘against all the odds’,” says Vachss. “What I am particularly proud of is that we took even the most difficult cases despite that fact, so long as we ourselves were convinced of the defendant’s guilt.” In the UK, the Crown Prosecution Service only take sex crime cases to court if it believes that there is at least a 50% chance of a conviction. This often results in the more complicated cases, or those involving victims who are considered less than pure, being dropped.

What does Vachss think of the UK criminal justice system’s approach to rape? At least the UK is facing the problem, she says. “You are keenly aware of the tiny percentage of rape cases resulting in convictions. In the US, our prosecutors simply release ‘win statistics’ on the trials themselves, rather than how many reports to the police finally resulted in a conviction.”

Vachss is critical of other aspects of the UK’s approach, though. The advantage of the US system is that prosecutors in the special victims units work exclusively on sex crimes and receive intensive and ongoing training from experts. From the moment a rape is reported these prosecutors play a pivotal role, working with police to investigate the case, and developing an intimate understanding of the details of the crime. This gives them an obvious advantage when it comes to presenting their case clearly and persuasively in court. By comparison, in the UK, the first time the complainant will meet the prosecutor is at the trial.

Why does she advocate the use of specialised prosecutors in sex crime cases? “We need more accountability, both from rapists and from the systems that are supposed to do something about them. Having sufficiently skilled specialised prosecutors meets both those goals – either we get better results, or we know who to look to if we don’t.”

She would ultimately like to see the birth of a kind of super-lawyer, highly trained in the minutiae of sex crime, including legislation, forensic science and victim/jury psychology (being equipped to explain to jurors, for instance, that if a complainant giggles in the witness box, it could be the result of trauma).

Although the majority of sex crimes are committed by men, Vachss does not let women off the hook. Having prosecuted a number of cases of child abuse where the women were complicit – by doing nothing about the abuse, or even, in some cases, holding the child down to be raped – she is clear that women are not always victims of men’s dominance. “There [is] a segment of the battered women’s advocates community who argue that if the mother was being abused as well, that she could not be held accountable for failing to protect the child. I think that is a profound insult to the tremendously courageous battered women who do find a way to put their children’s safety first.”

Vachss also admits that female jurors are often bad news when it comes to rape trials – they can be particularly judgmental of the complainant in order to convince themselves that it could never happen to them. In 2005, a survey for Amnesty International found that 5% of women (compared with 3% of men) believed that a woman was “totally responsible” for being raped if she was drunk.

“I can be very harsh about juror prejudices, but I recognise too that we set a difficult task for them,” says Vachss. “A responsible sex crimes prosecutor has to present them with the most information she can, and that requires that she learn skills and understand a variety of forensic sciences that the ordinary prosecutor does not need.” It is also essential, she believes, to learn to dispel the common rape myths that play such a key role in the low conviction rate.

Does she miss putting rapists in prison? “Hell, yes,” says Vachss. Would she return to the front line? “Am I willing to put up with the politics of running for office, or the backstabbing and infighting of being an employee of an elected official? That’s a much tougher question.”

For Vachss, there is no giving up until justice is done, for rapists and all of their victims. “What I want is for people to feel horror about what rape really is,” she says, “to feel indignation that we tolerate it”.

–Alice Vachss will be speaking at the one-day conference, Rape, the Media and the Criminal Justice System, which takes place today at the chamber, City Hall, London SE1 2AA.”

Dating the Irish Boss by Annie J. Rose

Nearly five years ago I ran,
And took a big secret with me.
Now I’m back, begging Patrick for his help.
I need him to save the son he never knew existed.
When the truth of what I’ve done comes out,
Will he turn away from me for good?
Or worse yet, will he take our son and run
Just like I did?

About Remorseless by Beth Fisher

WHAT WOULD YOUR LIFE LOOK LIKE IF YOU HADN’T CAVED TO THE WRONG VERSION OF YOURSELF SO MANY YEARS AGO?

If you’re a good and loving person but have ended up hating people (including and especially yourself) or gotten suckered into some kind of “other” life than the one you envisioned and you’re pretty much just DONE, read on.

Remorseless is the journey of one woman’s constant questioning and confusion about how others-including and especially God-saw her. A transformational expose, each chapter leads readers down a path of self-acceptance, unapologetically and without regret. Through various stages and seasons of life, you will learn how to navigate triumphs, tragedies, and decisions, without losing sight of who you’ve been all along.

Impatient by nature, Beth Fisher spent over two decades and many wrong decisions frustrated, until she figured out how to embrace her true self. An empty-nester, divorcee, cancer-survivor and general over-comer of difficult life transitions, Beth outlines-through transparent and humorous accounts-the following hope and instruction to anyone who has gotten off course:

-Understanding the only narrative that matters-instead of the false and damaging version created by yourself and others-is essential to realizing and believing your own worth.
-Showing up in your story and doing the next right thing is the way to press through adversity.
-Ditching labels-which are limiting, useless, and leave you stuck in indecision and inaction-is the way to reclaim who you’ve always been.

If you are exhausted by the mental battle and decision-making required to show up in your own story as your true self and are ready to let go of remorse for past choices, this book is for YOU.

Embracing Sufficiency by Joseph Stadtmiller

Embracing Sufficiency is the story of human resource consumption; the creativity that sustained us; what we learned, the lessons we ignored, how we lost our way. In the beginning we lived off the land, gathering enough food to feed ourselves. Today, most of us never experience the land, only its wealth, or the lack thereof. Humanity evolved, became more aware with expanded intelligence. For centuries we endeavored to improve the methods for producing food, tools and weapons of war. The Industrial Revolution launched a new era of machinery capable of running the treadmill of production full speed ahead. Thereafter the challenge became to increase consumption, to keep the economy growing, the prevailing mantra. Advanced technology, population growth, aggressive advertising, easy credit and globalization all served to get us where we are today. We consume excessively: corrupting air, land and sea. Plastic litters the landscape and the oceans; GM-plants promote the use of herbicides that’s poisoning our food. The human species has fought with each other to the edge of extinction; we stand ready to once again. Today our world is becoming barren with foul air, murky water and lifeless soil, potentially unable to feed us. The severe weather will kill you, if the heat doesn’t. But it’s the silence, the lack of abundant life variations, the beautiful forests, streams, snow-peaks and desert valleys, the sprawling and rising oceans we’ve taken for granted that we’ll miss most. Nature’s balance has literally been turned on its head. Is it possible to survive in a finite world with limited resources and continue on the way we have? Do we really believe we can continue on this way?

Author Bio:
I spent much of my early career working in industry as an electrical engineer focusing on the development of relevant and simple designs of electronic products, ranging from industrial controls to medical electronics. Years later I changed career paths to become an educator and writer, teaching electrical/electronics technology at a local community college and writing textbooks: “Electronics: Project Management and Design,” and “Applied Electronic Design,” and then a historical fiction Korean War/American Legion baseball novel entitled, “Those We Touch Along the Way.” As a retired teacher I’m presently pursuing my writing ideas about nature, technology, evolution and ecology that I’ve been developing for years. The principles of relevance, respect and simplicity came together as critical components of the human/nature relationship that are sadly missing in today’s society. “The Nature of Life and Humanity” focused on how the history of culture, technology and religion have impacted the human/nature condition. It’s an amazing story about the story of how we have arrived at this juncture, and the changes we all need to make to continue on with the cycle of life on Earth. And now the second book of my Nature Trilogy entitled “Embracing Sufficiency” nears the culmination of that effort, with the history of human consumption and waste; the story of what, how and why we consume; the acute issues caused by our overindulgence and how to resolve them. And there is much more to come.

Forgotten Valor: A Novel of the Korean War by Richard Thomas Lane

An untested lieutenant. An unwinnable war. An impossible choice that could tear his platoon apart. Korea, 1950. Lt. Jonas Stuyvesant’s privileged upbringing hadn’t prepared him for the hardships of war. But when North Korea launches a surprise attack, he and his ragtag platoon suddenly find themselves on the front lines of a war not even Washington expected. And instead of North Korean peasants armed with pitchforks, Jonas and his fellow soldiers find themselves up against armored Soviet tanks and battle-tested hardened soldiers. Outgunned and outnumbered, his platoon retreats from Osan through Taejon on down the whole length of the Korean Peninsula until their backs are pressed against the sea. As the war-weary troops hunker in for a final stand, a twist of fate gives Jonas a chance to leave the deadly frontline far behind. Before their attackers close in, Jonas must make an impossible choice: leave his brothers-in-arms facing the enemy alone or sacrifice everything to stand by their side to the bitter end. Forgotten Valor: A Novel of the Korean War is a visceral work of historical fiction covering the first three months of America’s forgotten war. If you like under-examined military history, gritty details, and soldiers’ perspectives, then you’ll love Richard Thomas Lane’s story of courage under fire.

“Claim me, and your every movement, every breath, every word will be written upon my heart, for eternity. You will be immortal yet.”

Growing up during the centuries-long conflict between the empires of Egypt and Hatti, the young princess Istara is taken hostage by the King of Hatti to secure the loyalty of her father, the King of Kadesh to the empire. Soon her new life in Hatti’s glittering capital becomes all she knows. Bound in blood before the gods to Hatti’s unwilling crown prince, Istara, now Hatti’s queen-in-waiting, learns she will never be loved.

But the drums of war beat again, and when the scheming plans of Hatti’s king threaten the existence of all civilization, the gods give Istara a choice: to leave behind everything she knows to save mankind, or remain where she is, powerless, a token on the game board of kings. On the brink of one of the most brutal battles in history, she chooses to risk her life to deliver a message to the only man able to prevent the prophecy from becoming a reality – her mortal enemy, the Pharaoh Ramesses II.

Wounded, cold and hungry, she wanders in the battle’s horrific aftermath, and aids a powerful commander, who she learns protected her once, and has been bound to her ever since by a prophetic dream of his future. Despite his resistance, and Istara once more becoming a pawn of kings, they must confront an eternal love so powerful, not even kings, the gods, or death can keep them apart.

About Public Speaking Panic: How to Go From Stage Fright to Stage-Ready in Less Than 24 Hours

Blinding lights. Racing heart. Tightening chest. Stage fright may as well be the closest thing to a death experience you can get without actually dying…

Whether it be a work presentation, wedding toast, or speech you have been given the honors of presenting at an event, fear of judgment and failure can grasp you at any moment and send you spiraling down a tunnel of panic.

Here’s the good thing about it, though: We’ve all been there. Even the most confident of public speakers seen on TV or YouTube have experienced stage fright and know how it feels to be in your shoes.

Public speaking gets the most of us, leaving you with sweaty palms, soaked underarms, and a sudden inability to speak or think, even when you’ve done nothing but practice for that one special moment.

To put things into perspective, according to Brandon Gaille, public speaking:

-Is considered the number one phobia among all phobias, seizing 19% of the US population
-Has a 10% impairment on wages
-Is feared more than spiders and death itself
-Not to mention, a whopping total of 74% of people suffer from speech anxiety.

So you see, you’re definitely not alone in this personal battle. And with how many people there are who have encountered it, that also means there are plenty who have cracked the code on how to overcome it.

In Public Speaking Panic, here is just a fraction of what you will discover:

-A short and sweet structural guide to turn your fear and panic into confidence in less than 24 hours, allowing you to own the stage in no time
-How to utilize this one underestimated preparation method to your advantage (hint: time to smooth out your speech’s kinks!)
-The key to being able to speak calmly and smoothly under stress, even when you feel your nerves creeping up on you
-A check-list at the end of every chapter to guarantee you are on the right track, directing you straight to success in the spotlight
-How to make your current speech 10x better through the use of one crucial technique, leaving your listeners with a lasting impression
-A breakdown of each step you need to take leading up to show time so you know what to expect, even when you least expect it

About Facing the Storm by David DeLee

Brice Bannon served fifteen years in the Coast Guard, most recently as captain of the Deployable Operations Group, (DOG), the Coast Guard’s version of the Army’s Special Forces and Navy’s Seals operations. When the command was decommissioned, rather than accept re-assignment, Bannon retired from the full-time Coast Guard.

But Bannon didn’t leave the Coast Guard behind completely. He remains in the Reserves.

Recruited by the Secretary of Homeland Security, he leads a small, secretive team of specially-trained, highly-skilled operatives capable of responding to and investigating specific, targeted threats against the homeland. Threats that cannot be effectively handled by standard operating means. Threats that call for a unique and often secret approach outside the normal channels of either Homeland Security or the Department of Defense.

When not risking his life for the government, Bannon runs the Keel Haul, his bar in the resort town of Hampton Beach, on the New Hampshire seacoast. There, he also operates as a small town private investigator and tends to get himself in big trouble along with the help of his two best friends and teammates; Tarakesh “Blades” Sardana and CWO Skyjack McMurphy.

About The Five Acts of Diego León

Growing up in a Mexican village at the height of the Revolution, Diego León finds his passion for singing and dancing, and forges a deep connection to his ancestors, the P’urhépecha. But soon young Diego is sent to the city to live with his white, aristocratic grandparents, who insist he forget his roots and groom him to take over the family business. Feeling trapped by familial obligations and haunted by the violence that continues to rage all around him, Diego flees Mexico for Hollywood. He arrives in 1927, when Prohibition-era speakeasies are in full swing, silent films are giving way to talkies, and “Latin lover” types thrive in the cinemas but face persecution on the streets. The closer Diego comes to stardom, the more he is reminded of his painful past and his war-torn homeland. Available now for the first time in paperback, The Five Acts of Diego León is a classic Hollywood tale of romance, glamour, and betrayal, with an underdog hero that you won’t soon forget.
