About The Tokyo Bicycle Bakery

Fluttering cherry blossoms, gorgeous kimonos and sweet and sorrowful love.

For cake-loving college girl Hana, Japan was the romantic destination of her dreams. With boyfriend Jin she planned an exciting new life in the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. But when she finally arrives after months of planning, Jin isn’t there.

Hana is left broken-hearted on a rainy Tokyo street. Jin left no note. One day he just walked out of classes and disappeared.

Hana begins her new life alone. Watching cherry blossoms fall into the Tokyo river. Working hard and delivering her lovely home-baked cakes by orange bicycle. Then she meets handsome young farmer Hikaru, and glimpses a new way forward – in an alien place where she doesn’t know a soul.

Coronavirus Lifesaving Tips: Little-known Actions You Can Take Today, Before Covid-19 Strikes 

About Coronavirus Lifesaving Tips: Little-known Actions You Can Take Today, Before Covid-19 Strikes

There Are Actions You Can Take Now to Help Yourself Fight-off Covid-19
Are you scared to die? Me too. That’s why I put this book together.
This book is a compilation of research from published scientific journals about actions you can take now that might help ameliorate coronavirus symptoms when you get it. It isn’t a magic bullet, but it is something practical that you can discuss with your doctor now.

˃˃˃ Why take a chance on your own life when there are scientific advances out there available to you?
In fact, chances are you have already taken the advice in this book. Unfortunately the protection your body has already built up disappeared after a number of years. That’s why you need to know what actions you can take to take to build up specific immune responses in your body.

˃˃˃ This book isn’t about homeopathy. It’s about common medical procedures that may help against Covid-19.
This book also contains a list of more common, non-medical actions you can take. I just want to make sure you know some of the common best practices out there.

˃˃˃ Understand the Nature of the COVID-19 Virus
The spread of Coronavirus or COVID-19 proves to be a menace that has brought many nations to their knees. However, all countries are doing their best to flatten the curve. The virus spread statistics are dire, and there is a need for a Call To Action. It might be the task of the world scientists to find a cure and vaccination against it, but it is down to all of us to ensure that we do not promote the spread of the virus further. From a social perspective, understanding the nature of the virus will help tame it’s spread. It will help individuals understand the spread patterns and how best to avoid contact with them.

From a medical perspective, understanding the virus first entails grouping it under a disease category. This disease category will help assess the strength of the COVID-19 virus compared to other viruses in this category. The next step will be to look at the treatments and vaccines that worked on similar viruses and how they could impact the COVID-19 virus.

This five-chapter book will provide you with an understanding of the nature of the COVID-19 virus and also expose the medical and social pathways towards containing its spread and finally putting the issue to rest.

Remember, you aren’t completely helpless against Covid-19.

Into the Mind of Lucifer 

About Into the Mind of Lucifer

Have you ever wondered how evil began? Or why God gave angels the free will to reject Him? This prequel to the Angelic Wars series, Into the Mind of Lucifer, is a small window into Rick E. Norris’s creation of interactive musical novels where characters sing when the reader activates a link. Into the Mind of Lucifer is the background story of why Lucifer rebelled against God. This FREE eBook prequel is the start of the epic story of the internal struggles and external battles among the angels for the control of Heaven. This introduction, like the series, is unlike any other action-adventure fantasy because its setting is mostly in Heaven and guided by footnoted Biblical passages.

Lucifer, the most revered of all angels in Heaven, is sent on the first mission to earth—to serve God’s pinnacle of creation, humankind. He is the first angel to travel into the material world and the first to realize that God has been “holding back” against his angels—the power of a free will. While on earth, Lucifer is frustrated while waiting for this pinnacle of creation to materialize. His frustration boils into rage as he learns that not only can he use his free will to control his destiny, but he can also use it to alter God’s creations. This prequel sets the stage for Lucifer’s journey back to Heaven where he raises an army against God and his Kingdom.

Raising Empowered Children: The Codependent Perfectionist’s Guide to Parenting by Alana Carvalho 

About Raising Empowered Children: The Codependent Perfectionist’s Guide to Parenting by Alana Carvalho

Do you ever feel that despite your best efforts you’re still not the kind of parent you want to be? For parents who struggle with perfectionism or codependency—sometimes without even being aware of it—the pressure to raise good kids can feel impossible. Raising Empowered Children is about becoming aware of the ways that we sabotage ourselves so we can find a more satisfying and loving approach to parenting.

As a trained therapist and recovering codependent perfectionist herself, Carvalho guides us through the major parenting stages, tackling topics like helicopter parenting, natural consequences, boundary setting, role modeling, and positive reinforcement. Through case studies, personal anecdotes, and actionable insights, Carvalho provides practical steps to help us learn how to love our children—and ourselves—for who they are rather than who we think they should be.

uncertainty of life 

About uncertainty of life

Friends, the biggest dilemma in life is that the mind cannot be at peace with Uncertainty. We want certainty but life is uncertain. We don’t know what is going to happen in the next moment, and we struggle to attain certainty in an uncertain world. It never happens. In fact, it is against the very nature of things. Life is in constant flux and our entire time goes to waste trying to bring certainty into our lives in our relationships, money, status, or anything for that matter. We have to understand deeply that only two things are certain in life. They are “uncertainty and death,” The rest is always in flux.
To know to accept this will lead us to peace and bliss. Otherwise uncertainty leads to anxiety, pain, and frustration. But it is easier said than done intellectually. We might understand it, but existentially when we face uncertainty in our day-today-life, we panic. We have just understood this fact of life very superficially; it has not sunk inside. When it comes to testing it in life situations, we fail. Uncertainty is always there, but now this corona virus has surfaced on the face of the earth and humanity, resulting in major panic, anxiety, frustration, and in some cases drastic measures like suicide.
To make peace with this uncertainty in life, we will have to dig deeper into our interiority to understand how this human mechanism functions. Unless and until the blueprint is clear, we will remain unsettled. My endeavour through this book is to give you a small a glimpse of how this human mechanism is designed so you may get a taste of it and then you can explore it further.
Friends, this book, “Uncertainty of Life”, have taken birth because of my background. I had not been able to cope with the uncertainties I faced in the early part of my life, resulting in constant anxiety, frustration, and pain. This corona virus pandemic and lockdowns across the world have left human beings to face uncertainty in their lives like never before. It has led people into mental disorders, and so the timing of this book is very relevant. It covers how to come to terms with uncertainty in life and provides a basic framework of the human mechanism to get through it. I am very hopeful that this will trigger you to dig deep into your interior and find bliss in your life. I wish you all the best.

Author Bio:
Let me introduce myself. I am from India, born and brought up by a middle-class family. Right from my childhood, I was not a very happy-go-lucky guy by nature; and on the top of it, I faced a lot of challenges on the home front in my teens.Somehow life continued and I did my basic graduation in commerce then got myself involved in the family businesses. I married and was blessed with a son eventually. I ventured from trading and manufacturing to network marketing andexports with mixed results in terms of making money. I struggled for 15 years and finally I got a job in an automobile company, which I held for the next 19 years.Finally, I quit my job in July 2020 and now here I am writing a book, at 53 years of age.
Let’s go back to a time when I had reached 35 years of age. I had no hope in life – neither at the personal level nor the professional level. I was full of negativity, frustration, anxiety, and a sense of worthlessness. I was in pain with a complete feeling of hopelessness and the fear of death. I was just stuck in situations that were unfavourable.Uncertainty was at its peak; however, because of family support I was carried on at the external level.Internally there was no hope, and I was completely shattered.
You must have heard that blessings come in disguise. I was desperately trying to get out of my mental anxiety and one day – I do not know how – I found myself sitting in an Osho Commune at my native place run by one of his disciple,Swami Prem Vedanta.It is a small commune and Swami Ji was initiated through Osho himself, and he has dedicated his whole life to spreading the insights of Osho.In the evening for 2-3 hours, Swami Ji addressed a small gathering of disciples and answered questions related to any of their inquiries on life problems.At that time, I was full of questions I was a big why with endless queries.Thankfully, Swamiji addressed one by one with infinite patience.After 15 years plus, I am still with him.Apart from this, I have been deeply involved with following the insights of enlightened masters OSHO, ECKHART, MOOJI, AND SADGH GURU JAGGI VASUDEVA.
I got the rare opportunity to be with some of them in their Satsang, pursuing their yoga and meditations.My sole purpose was how to live blissfully and in peace unaffected byexternal circumstances. I am blessed and grateful that I have been able to absorb their insights, and now I am at peace and in bliss. when I see people with tension, fear, anxiety, frustration, suffocation, pain, anger, a suicidal tendency, a feeling of worthlessness, humiliation, discontentment, worry, and guilt – always in the mode of“something will go wrong” in their life – I want to share my experiences so they may also live a life of bliss and freedom irrespective of any hostile external situation.

“Do you think he doesn’t care about the hours he’s putting in?” Vickie asked.

“I get it,” Bobby responded, clearly annoyed. “And I’m not saying Taylor doesn’t care about the work. I’m only saying that…well, it’s not like him to be late.”

Vickie shrugged and returned to her work. “The chances are he went to that breakfast place the two of you love so much.”

“It’s called Il Fornaio, and it’s not only a breakfast place,” the mechanic replied and resumed his task. “Actually, the fact that they serve breakfast is incidental. They’re an Italian place, so they serve Italian food for all three meals of the day. And a couple more meals too if you’re a hobbit.”

“You’re Korean, though, so why don’t you go more for the Asian food?”

“I’m Chinese-American, thank you very much,” Bobby said. “And it’s not a trait that defines who I am or what I eat. I happen to like me some authentic Italian food, so there.”

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you.” She sounded genuine in her apology. “Still, your guys’ obsession with that place is a little unhealthy, both for your bodies and your minds.”

“Hey, don’t knock it until you try it,” he snapped. “Head on over there for the breakfast special and you’ll see what all the fuss is about.”

Vickie raised an eyebrow. “Breakfast special, huh? Is that what you older guys call Netflix and Chill?”

Bungees turned away from his work again and looked at her with his eyes narrowed and a confused expression on his face.

“Oh, come on,” Vickie said, exasperated. “Don’t tell me you don’t know what Netflix and Chill is code for. It’s been around since before I was born. People have used it for decades.”

“Not where I come from,” the heavyset mechanic told.

“Where is that,” Vickie huffed, “the f#K#& Stone Ages?”

Taylor and the rest of the crew are back. It’s time to kill some Cryptids, and explain life and how it works to each other.

So long as that discussion is not between Taylor and Special Agent Banks.

The Cryptids have started to kill a large amount of humans in the upper mid-west. Banks’ bosses told her not to call in the Cryptid Assassin…

He’s too expensive.

Now, the showdown between Taylor and the creatures will stop when one or the other is dead… And it isn’t looking good for Taylor.

A Deadly Miracle 

About A Deadly Miracle

Eighteen-year-old Jace Hunter has a crush on Sage Petrov – the hottest, most popular girl in school – but he’s been too shy to approach her before now. On the first day of senior year, Jace hopes his new customized car will catch her attention. It does.
Sage knows how to get what she wants from Jace. A package needs to be delivered to a clandestine destination three hours away, and there’s twenty-five hundred dollars awaiting the young couple when the deal is done. Against his better judgment, and because Sage asked, Jace agrees.
All’s good on the trip home to collect payment, until they’re intercepted by an elite Russian operative named Bull. Jace doesn’t know that the delivered parcel was stolen by Sage’s uncle from the Russian intelligence agency, GRU. Also concealed from Jace is Bull’s mission to return the top-secret property and exterminate everyone involved.
Jace will need all his strength and nerve as he drives Bull to the drop-off location, realizing that soon after they arrive, Bull must kill him. However, unbeknownst to Jace or Bull, their lives are about to change forever.

The Lonely Life of a Pornographer’s Wife 

About The Lonely Life of a Pornographer’s Wife

(Those who enjoyed The Godfather and Fifty Shades of Grey will love this story.)
If Carla knew her interior decorating career would involve pornography, mafia, and murder, she could have taken other classes, such as Life Preservation: 101.
In 1973, Carla met Roy, a wealthy movie theater owner. He hired her to refurbish his theaters, and then their unique partnership led to marriage. Soon her work was admired by the boss of the West Coast’s most powerful mafia. Carla was hired by his wife to redecorate their Hollywood mansion.
There, she befriended her and two other lonely women married to prominent members of that mafia. When Roy joined them, he became involved in more pornography, and then parental child abuse and murder. He dragged Carla into the depths of that underworld with him.
Carla loved Roy profoundly but had to escape his deception, adultery, and control. She happened to find love with another man… a cop who set his sights on her husband. Roy never knew about this, but he later turned against her. This caused Carla’s extreme breakdown and doctors feared the loss of her sanity. A wealthy secret admirer loved her from afar, but his hands were tied. Could he stop Roy’s rampages? Or perhaps a judge would curtail him.
Or did Roy just dig her grave?

I feel that God has given me a prolific imagination to use with a vast lifetime's experiences so that I can produce well more than the norm's abundance and variety of stories. I've always loved to write and tell stories since my grade-school days. This brought me to excel in composition and literature throughout high school and into college when I first tried my hand at book writing. This book, however, is one that I've struggled to write for the past near-forty years, since it is based on actual happenings and persons who may still be living and/or involved in the mafia business about which I wrote in my book. Because of these situations, I prefer to remain as anonymous as possible. I do hope you will understand, thank you.

Christopher Columbus: A Captivating Guide to the Life of an Italian Explorer and His Voyages to the Americas by Captivating History 

About Christopher Columbus: A Captivating Guide to the Life of an Italian Explorer and His Voyages to the Americas by Captivating History

Christopher Columbus was one of the most courageous of the world’s explorers. He embraced risk in an era when the blinding expanse of the Atlantic Ocean frightened the Europeans.
The cartography of the day was incorrect, as he learned through bitter experience. Columbus is credited with the discovery of America but never realized it during his lifetime. His career as a navigator was peppered with mishaps that shattered the ignorance of the age. Although he was no scientist, Columbus initiated new fields of study and analysis.
In 1492, he landed at San Salvador in the Islands of the Bahamas, and he was the first European to have explored the Caribbean Sea. He was the first European to set foot in Cuba, Haiti, and Trinidad, as well as the countries in Central America. Columbus’s voyages astonished all of Europe and started a virtual stampede of competitors in search of the East Indies by sailing west.
His life was fraught with adversities such as betrayal and character assassination. It still is today. However, his loyalty cannot be assailed, and few have recognized that fact.
The life of Christopher Columbus is a fascinating portrayal of a man whose ego was greater than his common sense. His brand of reckless abandon makes Olympic champions out of foolhardy amateurs. This is the story of a man devoted to a goal he was willing to pursue or die trying. And, tragically, he did die trying.

The Library of Lost Souls by Chris Regan 

About The Library of Lost Souls by Chris Regan

What do you get when you mix a slacker student with a bumbling amateur witch?
Slacking university student Gavin wants nothing more than to spend his days reading anything other than his course materials and getting out of having to study – and for him, hiding out in the dusty halls of the library is the perfect place to do it.

But when he notices his fellow students are all missing a pretty important feature, Gavin soon realizes that something has gone seriously wrong. After a hectic escape causes him to stumble into amateur witch Jenny Ringo, Gavin finds himself falling headlong into a world of chaotic spells, horrific hexes, and Jenny’s half-baked attempts to set things right.

But undoing such serious magic is no easy feat. Short of selling her soul to demons, Jenny and Gavin will need to work together and use all their wits if they want to fix their fellow students before anyone else finds out…

Gritty, gruesome, and hilariously fun, you won’t want to miss The Library of Lost Souls. Jenny and Gavin’s adventures strike the perfect balance between humour and horror.

Farewell, Everything by Véva Perala 

Farewell, Everything by Véva Perala

In a world waking from a dark age, a young musician finds himself thousands of miles from home, covered in bruises, and falling in love.

And it’s only downhill from there.

Chronically clueless and incurably naïve, runaway street performer Osha Oloreben has known his share of hard knocks – but none like those he’s dealt in the city of Valena. Dragged into war and battered by disease, Osha unwittingly trades his life for a fever dream of half-truths and hidden realms. In the no man’s land between bitter enemies, past and future, life and death, and love for both a man and a woman, no line is left unblurred. Helped and hindered by a cast of mystics, rebels, and ghosts, Osha struggles to reclaim his body, his identity, and reality itself – before it’s too late.

With humor and horror in equal measure, ‘Farewell, Everything’ delves into the dissolution of a transforming mind. Climate fallout, cultural amnesia, and the enduring legacy of past mistakes set a bleak yet whimsical stage on which healing and self-discovery take on mythic proportions. Stumbling through the stages of grief – denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance – our unlikely hero braves the surreal landscapes of love, loss, and death, from which no one emerges unchanged.

And he goes by the name of Ebeneezer Goode
His friends call him ‘Ezeer and he is the main geezer
And he’ll vibe up the place like no other man could
He’s refined, sublime, he makes you feel fine
Though very much maligned and misunderstood

Inherited Love 

About Inherited Love

Cinnamon Mabel Dalton always struggled to fit in. A musical savant at an early age, Cinn’s life was anything but easy. After a failed marriage and broken heart, she worried she would never find someone who understood her devotion to her craft, and her family. Then her Grandma Mable passed away, she inherited a two-hundred-pound Saint Bernard, and her whole life changed.

Dr. Foster Kern, the director of the Little Ivywood Humane Society, spent hours with Mable Dalton being regaled with stories about her granddaughter, Cinn. Suddenly face-to-face with the woman he had heard so much about, he realized Mabel didn’t do her justice. Cinn’s exotic looks and giant heart were exactly what he’d been searching for, but he truly believed a woman like Cinn would never be interested in a guy like him.

Cinn and Foster team up to protect her grandmother’s legacy, but neither of them could predict how quickly they would discover a mutual happiness they’d both been searching for. When fate unwittingly reveals Cinn’s hidden truth, she has two choices; trust her heart to Foster or run away from a lifetime of love.

Author Bio:
Collette is a 34-year old African-American writer and avid music lover. She was born in Washington, D.C. but raised in Columbia, SC. For those who don’t know her she is a bit of a tv junkie. Most shows from the late 1990s and early 2000s she has seen and can probably name most of the main characters. She started writing when she was in high school but further refined and developed her passion while attending college. She found that she has a tendency to write about what she is feeling in that moment in the way of poetry and she is recently published a novel that is more reminiscent of a memoir.
She is an alumna of Devry University (bachelor’s degree), has a master’s degree from Purdue Global, and is currently enrolled in a Ph.D. program at Walden University. All of the post graduate work completed was with a concentration in Criminal Justice. She is currently on the journey of trying to introduce her works to all that would find interest. Her love for writing started in the 8th grade after reading some poetry by Maya Angelou. Since reading her words, she discovered her own poetic voice. In the 9th grade, her English teacher required that every student write their own anthology. This only further sparked her love for writing and confidence in her literary voice.
She has self-published two poetry books (Is Life Worth Living and The Pain That Never Ends) on Amazon covering numerous topics that are experienced in life. The first book follows from the beginning of life to the end and some things that are experienced during those times. The second book is a book that deals with some of the harder times that she faced in life. The novel she is currently working on, Journal of Abuse, shows the many different experiences she had with abuse and depression, including the abusive and self-destructive patterns experienced during those times.
