About Saddle Creek Christmas Romance Collection

A Saddle Creek Christmas

Cold snow and freezing temperatures came early in Saddle Creek, Wyoming, a small town outside Jackson Hole in the shadows of the Grand Tetons mountains.
This year, Chase, Elliott and Dillon convinced Sheriff Mitch to attend their annual Christmas get-together. And of course, it had to be at Rosie’s Diner in the middle of town. A mom-and-pop diner, a throwback from the 50’s, claimed to have the best meatloaf in town. This year the magic date was December 24.
Rosie’s Diner had a tree ready to be decorated the day after Thanksgiving by who ever wanted to place a little tinsel or ornaments.
But, the most important decorations adorning the tree were the white paper angels. The “angels” listed the names, ages, sizes, and wishes of children who, for whatever reason, were without one or both of their parents. People everywhere were always very generous this time of year and in Saddle Creek, it was no different than anywhere else.
The wrapped gifts were delivered a few days before Christmas and somehow the presents always made it to the right girl or boy, no matter by what means, snowmobiles or horses. No matter how much snow on the ground; no matter how low the temperature. But this year, each of them, would learn their own true meaning of Christmas. Would this lesson be front and center in their hearts and lives? Could it last throughout the year?

About Maj: Ark of the Ancients

On Asar, history has become myth. Millennia-old experiments have become races of beings with cultures and dreams of their own, and their creators, an advanced race from afar, have birthed myths and legends, abandoned ruins and technologies, and a destiny on which the planet’s future balances. A few still walk the planet as gods.

A prophecy speaks of one who will be born, one with the blood needed to reawaken the abandoned technology of the ancient Zemurians who fled the planet in shame long ago. But few have time to contemplate prophecy in a world torn by war, ravaged by a savage despot.

The Panjatai Hegemony rules most of the known world. It wages war with its neighbors, fighting to subdue the wild warriors of the Ferghana Steppe and the tiger men of Oujda, the Ukar’a lizard-men of Thibur and the desert dwellers of Ashmara. The Panjatai ruler’s lust for power is complete, but a nightmare haunts his sleep. A nightmare of one who will end his reign. A boy, wielding a Zemurian blade, at the head of an army the likes of which Asar has not seen in three thousand years. The one foretold. The Hegemon will stop at nothing to change the fate he suffers each night in his sleep.

Maj is a simple boy, raised in a mountain village far from everything, on the outskirts of the Hegemony. To those around him he is an outsider: though his da is from Kalmat, his ma was unknown, a foreigner. Trained as a warrior by his da, Zoltan, whose skill with a blade is legendary though the source of that skill a mystery, Maj is caught between forces he cannot control bent on his destruction, his life depending on his companions, his innate gifts, and the guidance of a god.

Fleeing across Asar with death on his heels, Maj must race against time, through deadly jungles and sprawling cities, ancient ruins and vast oceans, searing deserts and dark fortresses, to learn to control his power, discover the legacy of the ancient ones, and fulfill his destiny.

About How to Kick Opioids Now!

The cure to drug addiction lies within the understanding of how the body and mind are simultaneously influenced by a chemical dependency problem. Only after gaining this knowledge can the addict start the process of reversing the addiction cycle, and begin to address the triggers in the mind which are keeping him addicted. This is the world’s first and only absolutely anonymous drug treatment program in the form of literature, as users do not have to show up, sign in, sit through any classes, and nobody will ever know they are using a program unless they decide to tell someone themselves. For the average user, anonymity and the high price of in-house drug treatment programs are some of the main reasons for not seeking help. This literature takes away those excuses and puts the program into the user’s hands for the price of a book, something that has never been offered to them in the past. This is a full-service drug treatment program, which tackles the psychological aspects of addiction and teaches the user how to use several different mind-game techniques to recognize and reverse these triggers of convenience, which often lead to addiction and relapse. Any addict, who reads the entire content of this book, and uses the techniques when and how they are described, will be drug-free by the time they finish this book. In the past, this feat was deemed impossible, but How to Kick Opioids Now brings new hope to a generation of addicts often viewed as hopeless.
This book is broken down into 28 chapters and two phases, split almost down the middle, as the second phase begins midway through the literature. The first half of the book is dedicated to teaching the user why he is addicted to cocaine, and how he can reverse the process by changing the way he thinks, while planning an exit strategy to his addiction. The reader is taught how to work towards a ‘quit-date’ and is instructed not to read any of the second phase until this quit date has arrived. Once the reader quits using for a full 24 hours, he starts reading on the second phase of the program.
The second half of the book teaches the user how to use a 14-day self-detox program in the privacy of one’s home, while being instructed on how to pull off this feat with the help of several over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, vitamins, and herbs, with a play-by-play of what to expect and how to react to the physical and physiological withdrawals, on a day to day basis. The reader has 14 different chapters to follow at this point, one for each day of the detox period. This is important information since every day after the initial detox ravages the body and psyche of the addict, trying to convince them to relapse. The techniques described in this literature addresses and attacks the daily changes in the human body and mind during the processes of withdrawal, which change each day, after the chemical has been removed from the daily regimen.
This book is written as a one-on-one conversation with the addict, from an ex-addict who has already been through all of the trials and tribulations of kicking the same addiction successfully, with this same program. The author talks directly to the one person who is reading and gains their understanding, friendship, and trust, while we they take this ride together. The reader is always well informed as to what is coming next, and well aware that all of the bumps in the road have already been addressed. Gaining the readers trust is the physiological advantage of any successful drug treatment program. This book goes far beyond gaining the trust and confidence of the reader/addict seeking help.

About Eco Bible by Yonatan Neril

What can the Bible say about ecology? As people face huge ecological challenges—including growing hurricanes, floods, forest fires, and plastic pollution—the groundbreaking Eco Bible dives into this question. Drawing on 3,500 years of religious ethics, it shows how the Bible itself and its great scholars embrace care for God’s creation as a fundamental and living message. Eco Bible both informs the reader and inspires spiritual commitment and action to protect all of God’s creation. The Kindle ebook is discounted at $1.99 (original price is $9.99).
This ‘earth Bible’ is a great read for those interested in Jewish and Christian social issues. It also represents an important contribution to eco theology, and to the spiritual ecology movement.
Publishers Weekly called the book an “”insightful analysis,”” which “”will inspire contemplation on how to live in harmony with nature and the power of conservation. Ecologically minded readers interested in the Hebrew Bible will love this.””
Volume 1 explores Genesis and Exodus; Volume 2 (2021) explores Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Together they cover 450 verses in the Five Books of Moses / Pentateuch / Old Testament. By linking faith and science, the book connects religion with contemporary scientific thought regarding human health, biodiversity, and clean air, land, and water.
Dr. Bill Brown, Professor of Old Testament at Columbia Theological Seminary, calls Eco Bible “a rich repository of insights…for people of faith to move forward with wisdom, inspiration, and hope, all for the sake of God’s good creation.”
Eco Bible reveals what Rabbi Shlomo ben Aderet calls “the ever-increasing number of fresh understandings of the Bible’s verses,”” while quoting over 100 rabbis from Biblical times to the present. Until now, their ecological insights on the Bible could only be found scattered across hundreds of books.
Applying Biblical ethics to stewardship, conservation, and creation care is not just an idea for today, but is essential for a future where we live in balance and thrive on a planet that remains viable for all life. At a time of both ecological and spiritual crisis, an ecological reading of the Bible can have profound impact on human behavior, since billions of people worldwide consider it a holy book.
This green Bible commentary affirms a spiritually grounded vision for long-term sustainability and immediate environmental mindfulness and action, including many suggested action items. Eco Bible uniquely explores the Bible’s deep inspiration for fulfilling the blessing of all life, changing course to preserve God’s creation, and sustaining human life in harmony with nature and all God’s creatures.
Rabbis Yonatan Neril and Leo Dee are co-editors and lead contributors.

About Rite-Off: An International Thriller by Jack Amos

A disenchanted Scottish detective is sent to the Côte d’Azur after multi-billionaire internet entrepreneur Shona Gladstone goes missing from her palatial villa there.
Detective Inspector Barney Mains finds a super-rich elite untouched by the waves of virus which have devastated the rest of the world – and a French police force only going through the motions.
Then the mangled wreck of her car is found on a mountainside, leading him and his sparky new sidekick DC Ffiona McLuskey to question how it got there – unseen by the web of cameras spun across the entire region.
There’s been no ransom demand, raising the possibility that Gladstone may have staged her own very elaborate vanishing act. If not, then someone has gone to an awful lot of trouble to get rid of her.
Suspicion falls on a trusted member of her inner circle. And Barney and Ffiona, now working closely with dapper Capitaine Jean-Luc Verten of the Police Nationale in Nice, are shocked when their suspect turns out to be closely connected to certain powerful politicians.
But why would such prominent figures risk getting involved in the kidnap of one of the world’s most high-profile business figures? Unless she posed some kind of threat to the prevailing order.
As the scale of that threat is revealed, Barney is faced with a terrifying choice. And his decision could shake the foundations of the Western world.

About The Chartreuse Garden The Horrific Murders of Innocents that Compelled Me to Fight Social Injustice and Hate

This book details the true events of the Charles Soper family that resided in a nearby public housing project. I didn’t know that the father struggled with mental illness and drugs, or that, at times, he would act out violently against his wife and their young children.
The housing project was across the street from a large recreational facility which I managed. The park was considered to be an escape from the drudgery of their daily low-income lifestyle, as well as a safe haven for the neighborhood children. Residents of all ages looked up to me as the quasi-authority of the City of Carson. In reality, I was a 22-year-old “kid.” This was my first real job in terms of supporting myself financially.
During my tenure at the park, I came to know Mrs. Soper and especially her son, Roy, who was seven when I first met him. The little tyke would call me his “protector,” and would run to me whenever anyone would tease or bully him. But I never believed Roy was in actual danger, nor did I anticipated the shocking events that followed.
The story is told against the backdrop of my exploration of my sexuality. I grew up wanting to be married and have kids. I was raised that way. But despite my attempts to establish a romantic connection with women, I never happened. My journey of self-discovery included consulting psychologists, participating in the early days of computerized heterosexual dating, researching homosexuality, engaging both female and male prostitutes, and attending an intensive EST-like seminar. I was not afraid or embarrassed to be gay; I just wanted to be certain that I was gay. When it finally came to me, it was like an epiphany—I was a healthy, normal gay man, and proud of it.
As I began to participate in the gay lifestyle, I became painfully aware of the beatings and murders of gay men in my community of Long Beach, CA, often perpetrated with impunity. I thought about Roy and realized that these gay men were also vulnerable and innocent. I surrendered my comfortable, closeted lifestyle and publicly vowed to stop violent assaults against LGBTQ people. I was extremely fortunate in connecting with the new Chief of Police who welcomed me as the official liaison from the gay community to partner with him to stop hate crime. My three-prong approach to stopping gay-bashing, as described in the book, was a success, and I offer it to LGBTQ communities across the country.
Barack Obama wrote to me, “Jack … Our journey as a nation depends, as it always has, on the persistent efforts of people like you – compassionate, caring, and open-minded – who stand up in defense of the notion that love is love and that all of us, no matter who we are or who we love, are worthy of equal dignity, equal respect, and equal protection under the law. … That is the vision for America that Michelle and I share. And I want you to know we will continue standing alongside you.”

Jack Castiglione
A short Biography

During the short term of President Kennedy, Jack Castiglione became fascinated by the civil rights movement, especially concerning the plight of Blacks in America. A second social justice issue in the 1960s was the mistreatment of California farmworkers. Here he joined in supporting the work of Caesar Chavez in protecting and organizing California farmworkers.

What first caught Castiglione’s attention on gay discrimination issues was a series of gay-bashing events including murders of gay people in Long Beach, California in the mid-1970s. These murders were part of a much larger, national issue. The national LGBTQ rights movement began in New York City, in 1969, when a group of patrons at The Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in New York City, suddenly confronted the police who had been continually harassing them. After the Stonewall riots, LGBTQ groups all around the country began to fight back and demand their equal rights.

In 1977 he attended a public meeting at MCC (the Metropolitan Community Church) which hosted a meeting between the gay community and the Long Beach Police Department to discuss an ongoing investigation of — yet another — murder of a gay man who was ambushed on the streets of Long Beach. In this latest case, the police department had not caught the predator that would come across as a friendly gay person in gay bars. The predator would present himself as one who was interested in sexual relations with selected bar patrons. If he were invited to a would-be victim’s home, the homeowner was stabbed to death.

In another case, involving a different attacker, a former roommate of Castiglione’s picked up a presumably pleasant man at a gay bar in Long Beach because he expressed a mutual interest in sex. He brought the “pleasant man” to his apartment. The victim was tied to a chair and set on fire. He did not survive.
In 1981, Castiglione joined Dignity (a national gay Catholic organization) and soon served on the board of directors in various positions over the years, including president of the Long Beach Chapter, which was one of the largest chapters in the nation. In 1984, the Dignity Help Line was established in his home, and he answered it for the next six years. Most callers wanted to know if they could be gay and Catholic. Castiglione always told the callers, yes, and told them why. Castiglione worked with the bishops of the Los Angeles Catholic Diocese, including correspondence with the then Archbishop, Roger Mahony.

Although Castiglione continued some interest in the Church for many years, he struggled with the Church’s “ancient-thinking.” His conflict was not only concerning the anti-gay positions of the Church but also other important social issues in which the Church refused to be reasonable. These issues included the use of contraception (even in spite of the AIDS crisis), not allowing women to be priests, and the refusal to accept the modern principles of psychology as essential for good mental health. He ultimately became a proud atheist.

Castiglione joined the Lambda Democratic Club in Long Beach and served as the chairman of the Police Relations Committee from about 1985 to 1993. He was appointed to the Long Beach Police chief’s advisory committee representing the gay community and served as chairman, serving three police chiefs’ from 1987 to 1992. He helped create sting operations with LBPD to intervene in anti-gay violence. He was the subject of a documentary to showcase various efforts to combat anti-gay violence in Long Beach in 1992.

Jack Castiglione wrote op-ed pieces in the Long Beach Press-Telegram to bring anti-gay violence to the attention of the general public. He wrote numerous articles in the gay press to inform the gay community of the importance of filing crime reports when they were the victims of hate crimes.

In 1986, a gay man was stabbed to death in front of the popular, LGBT-frequented, Birds of Paradise Cafe. The community was again in outrage and demanded action from the Long Beach Police Department. This event was the impetus that caused Castiglione to start the anti-gay violence hotline to report and document acts of violence against the LGBTQ community. The idea was that since LBPD had a poor reputation in respecting members of the LGBT community and rendering service, victims had the alternative of this hotline to report those crimes. Castiglione monitored that hotline in his home from 1990 to 1996.

Castiglione was allowed to give regular training sessions on LGBTQ sensitivity to each Long Beach Police Academy class from 1986 to 1993. These training sessions were to inform new police officers of the shameful treatment the LGBTQ community was receiving from the general population, as well as to expose incidents of police misconduct toward gay people. At one time, Long Beach Police Department was so bad that a new police chief, Lawrence Binkley, was brought on in 1987 to “clean up the department.” Within a short time, that new chief fired 83 police officers for improper behavior, not only against the LGBT community but for dereliction of duty in all police matters throughout the city.

In 1986, Castiglione became a member of the newly formed Hospital Visitation Team.” This program trained men and women as professional PWA (Persons with AIDs) visitors at the various local hospitals who cared for AIDS patients. The gay center sponsored a 6-week training class to teach volunteers methods of “active listening” and other important aspects of death and dying, these team members were “visiting friends.” He worked at Saint Mary’s Hospital in Long Beach to visit any PWAs who wanted to talk to someone. He completed his training in 1986 and visited PWAs, once a week, for six years.

In 1991, Castiglione was appointed by the Long Beach City Council to serve as a Human Rights Commissioner, which he worked on for four years.

On January 20, 1992, Jack Castiglione met his husband, Douglas H. Cleaver – they have been happily married ever since. They moved to Long Beach California and live in a high-rise condo overlooking the beach and the Queen Mary ship.

Beginning in early 2016, Castiglione campaigned for Hillary Clinton and became the first Never-Trumper. After that most unfortunate election, he worked tirelessly in every way possible to get the most corrupt president out of office.

In 2020, Castiglione authored the book, “The Chartreuse Garden: The Horrific Murders of Innocents that
Compelled Me to Fight Social Injustice and Hate.” In this true story, we follow his journey from his childhood days where he was subjected to much abuse, to his 20s, where he became a fierce defender of LGBTQ equality and accomplished surprising results in stopping the violence against his community.

About The Book of Corinthian Chapter One: Beauty in the Bayou

Physical enslavement of African Americans may have ended on paper in 1865 with the ratification of the 13th amendment, but the South was last to know. Beauty in the Bayou seeks to shine light in the dark corners that further explain why the South is considered to be “the bottom” over a century later by examining the inner links of the chains that are still keeping people enslaved both mentally and spiritually. Being from the South herself, the artist, Corinthian Elizabeth, is sharing how these same chains once had her bound through an autobiography of poems and original paintings that narrate and illustrate her journey to freedom. She shares her story of how revisiting the place that she will always love, home, has helped her heal and become whole. Corinthian invites you on her journey to freedom as she breaks a plethora of generational curses with the desire to bring hope, healing, and greater awareness to all that will open this book. This book is for anyone desiring to be free.

About The Truth About 911

9/11 – Now, finally after 20 years the truth can be told. This book will answer all the questions about how and why 9/11 took place. The reader will decide if it was the right thing to do. However, the question that needs to be answered is why did America not investigate it, when they had more than enough evidence to bring punishment on all involved?
All these years since 9-11-2001, we knew that 15 Saudi Arabians were on the plane. Is it a coincidence that the same number of Saudi Arabians were involved in the killing of Khashoggi?
Why did the government not investigate it, instead of covering it up? By going as far as to create Lies of Weapons of Mass Destruction. After they were unsuccessful at placing the attack on Iraq due to foreign intelligence proving it had nothing to do with Iraq. They then decided to say that Iraq was going to attack us with WMDs. Lies that they knew would be eventually come to light, once America invaded Iraq and discovered no weapons. Then the government created an ever-lasting war in the Middle East, to take American’s minds off the war, that took place on the United States shores on 9/11/2001.
Was the American government so concerned about protecting Saudi Arabia, or were they only protecting themselves? This book will explain how it all started from the Kuwait invasion by Iraq. Why the President of the U.S.A, abruptly ended the Desert Storm War in Iraq, after he found out the truth of why Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait.
How America was so tied into Saudi Arabia that sanctions were put on competitors. How the Oil companies raised prices so high that Congress wanted to lift those sanctions to get cheaper oil for its people, and then out of nowhere 9/11 happened.
Coincident, you think? This book will explain how it all went down and those who benefitted from it. However, only you the reader will decide if it was the right thing to do for the good of Capitalism. For surely, it was not for Democracy or let alone common human decency. Now the Truth will finally be told. This book has fiction on the cover to protect the whistleblowers who made the truth possible. Yet, you the reader will decide if it is fiction or not. The writer only hopes that you will see that Justice is finally served. That you will demand a full Independent Non-Political Investigation, so those who died on that horrible day and their families can finally be at rest. The Truth About 911.

About One More Time

The boys are back, and the most jaded of all is up.
Not sure why my brother decided love was more important than the band, but he’s an idiot.
I’ve had nothing but trouble with women. I’ve never been focused on the “right” things.
You know, family, settling down, kids, security.
I’m the bad boy of the group and looking for a thrill. Always.
Yet my brother’s new fiancée’s sister might just change that, and me.
She’s an entertainment reporter who got her start thanks to our band. Something about her drives me wild.
But then she finds out she’s carrying my baby but decides to keep it from me.
Cause I’m not that type of guy.
I might just surprise us both. Forever with the right woman is looking better and better.
Maybe I’ll give love a chance, one more time.

About An Echo from Gaea

They were bred as hybrids in an advanced futuristic parallel world countless light years away from Gaea, somewhere within the maze of the universe. Radan, Motaro, Falbala, along with their families, were sent to earth by their breeders for an experimental purpose during medieval times in Europe. The hybrids with mythological looks, gifted supernatural abilities, and wide genetic memories were wrongly taken for demons and evil creatures as they made contact with humans. They sought friendship and found home with a shaman’s three children and they bonded together with them. Following a couple of mysteriously tragic events, and after he saved the village from a ravaging fast acting disease, Radan decided to challenge his nature and override his breeder’s plan by making Gaea his forever home and choosing to stay by Ara’s side (the shaman’s older daughter).

About Encore: A Contemporary Love Story of Hypnotic Abduction

Come remember the extraordinary power of being your true self.

“One is reminded of such Gothic treasures as Rebecca and Wuthering Heights.” – The US Review of Books

In this Seductive Psychological Suspense, a troupe in England braves threats by hecklers when performing the history of the rare gem, Moldavite. The meteoric stone, featured in legends of Shambhalla and Atlantis, is sought after for its supposed mystical properties. The charismatic hypnotist, Dune, made the troupe famous, especially his wife Susan, the star. Whenever actors become ill, Dune hypnotizes the standbys to believe they actually are the actors they replace on stage, to fool the discerning audience. When the curtain reaches the floor after the encore, the post-hypnotic suggestion always ends, and the standbys recall their identities.

Susan mysteriously disappears, so her standby, Miriam, takes her place. Miriam’s friend Colin clutches flowers in the audience, ready to congratulate her on the life-changing evening. He just that day kissed her for the first time. Will he become more than a friend that night?

He doesn’t get the chance. Before the curtain lands, with Miriam still believing she is his wife, Dune whisks her away to an alchemist’s castle: Dune has plans for an equinox ritual using the Moldavite elixir made there.

About White Rain

For almost a year, Max Bowman has been locked away in the Community — a “retirement” home for former CIA spooks with secrets too scary to share with the world, where the residents are drugged into obliviousness and kept content with reruns of Bonanza and The Beverly Hillbillies.

But then after a daring escape, Max is back — or, at least, what’s left of him. He’s lost his love, his home, his money and most of his memories. And the only way to get any of them back is by taking on a crooked lobbyist whose menace is almost as big as his stomach. This creep is selling white supremacy — and his ancient donors are more than willing to dive into that particular gene pool.

Max is truly on the highway to hell — with Mar-a-Lago serving as a rest stop along the way.

Just a man trying to find himself in this mist of the world.

I was born and raised in Damascus, Syria in 1/1/1995. All of my life I felt this weird repulsion from society, I didn’t fit in with what is norm and I always wanted to do more, to achieve more. I knew the ends, but I didn’t know the means. I always had a special connection to writing, literature and poetry and maybe this is my purpose in life and maybe not.
