How Strong Businesses Actually Work by Amit Dharmendra Singh

About How Strong Businesses Actually Work by Amit Dharmendra Singh

Most businesses do not struggle because they lack effort. They struggle because the different parts of the business pull in different directions.

How Strong Businesses Actually Work explores what makes a business genuinely strong beneath the surface. Profit, cash, decisions, leadership, behaviour, execution, ownership, discipline, and operating rules are deeply connected. When these elements work against one another, pressure spreads and instability grows.

This book explains why businesses can appear successful while becoming increasingly fragile, why intelligent leaders can unintentionally create complexity, why effort often increases just before things break, and why cash problems are frequently symptoms of deeper behavioural and structural issues.

Readers will discover how strong businesses decide important matters early, use clear rules to reduce unnecessary control, create stability through consistent leadership behaviour, contain pressure before it spreads, and protect simplicity as the organisation grows.

Rather than offering another collection of quick fixes, this book provides a different way to understand business. It examines the patterns and interactions that determine whether improvement lasts or gradually gives way to new problems.

If you are a business owner, founder, leader, manager, or decision maker who wants to understand why some businesses remain stable under pressure while others become increasingly complicated, this book offers a practical lens for seeing the difference.

God’s Scar

About God’s Scar

There has never been an M/M fantasy like this.

Angels who fall because of love. Demons who are more than their brimstone.
A cosmos where Heaven is not merciful, and love is both salvation and ruin.

The half-breed is a living heresy. Born of an angel and a demon, he is shaped by captivity and by a single forbidden tenderness from a healer angel who defied Heaven to hold him for a single night.

When the healer is dragged into the Demon Realm as a sacrificial offering, the half-breed tears through demons, survives an arena that has consumed angels for millennia, and claims a crown he never wanted, all to reach the one soul that made his cursed existence bearable.

This is a journey that asks whether a soul born as heresy can claim the right to love, and be loved in return.

“Let them see it. Let them feel the weight of everything I was never allowed to be. I will not cower.”

A slow-burn, emotionally intense, non-explicit M/M saga, God’s Scar examines the cruelty of sacred systems, the power of gentleness in a violent world, and the quiet heresy of choosing to love selflessly.

“I just want you.
Painfully. Desperately. Endlessly.
You are the only reason worth living for.
The only thing that makes this world bearable.”

For readers who seek:
🤍 Slow-burn, non-explicit M/M love.
✨ Vivid, immersive, theological world-building.
🔥 Gritty, lyrical storytelling.
❤️‍🩹The ache, yearning, and grief that love demands.
❤️‍🔥Relentless devotion and forbidden love.
⚖️Epic fantasy grounded in philosophy and emotional depth, not a fast-paced one.
🪽 Character-driven dark fantasy rooted in angelology and demonology.
💝 An ending that will leave you quiet and linger with you.

God’s Scar will scar you.

“This book has brought me through most of the feelings one can feel. It’s soul-wrenching, nerve-wracking, it’s healing, and it is grim, brutal, but also so very beautiful.” – NetGalley reviewer.

“This book is extremely beautiful. Some of the most lyrical, beautiful prose I’ve ever read.” – Goodreads Author.

“This is a dark novel! But it’s also very, VERY good; addictive, in fact. It’s very much based on angel/demon mythology with a central ‘forbidden M/M romance’ theme. The protagonist is a broken character, struggling with belonging and identity within a ‘system’ that is harsh and unforgiving.
This book offers queer love, theological fantasy, and complex worlds BIG TIME! And I’m a big fan of forbidden love. Particularly if it’s in a slow-burn story where the author’s in no particular hurry to get to the end. I LOVED it!” – The Wishing Shelf Book Awards – EDITORIAL REVIEW – www.thewsa.co.uk

The Sweetheart Swindle by Ivy Baric

About The Sweetheart Swindle by Ivy Baric

Margot Slade moved to the Oregon coast to disappear. The con man should have picked a different town.

After her husband’s death exposed a financial fraud that consumed everything she had, Margot starts over in Agate Reach: a foggy little town with a county clerk’s office that needs part-time help, a cottage that needs everything, and a tuxedo cat named Margin who has no respect for personal space. Her plan is simple. Keep her head down. Trust no one. Stay out of other people’s problems.

That lasts about a week.

When a charming “merchant marine officer” starts draining a lonely widow’s life savings through an online romance, Margot recognizes the pattern instantly. She’s seen this kind of deception before. Up close. Across her own dinner table. For twenty-four years.

And this time, she is not going to look away.

Armed with public records, a librarian’s research instincts, and a cat who insists on supervising the evidence, Margot follows the paper trail from small-town Oregon to a strip-mall office in Tigard, where she discovers the scam is bigger, and closer, than anyone imagined.

The first book in the Agate Reach Mystery series: cozy mysteries built around real-world scams, where the crimes make you furious, the justice is satisfying, and the cat steals every scene.

For fans of Richard Osman, Tonya Kappes, and small-town sleuths who’ve been burned once and won’t let it happen to anyone else. Read for free with Kindle Unlimited.

Discounted to $0.99 through Saturday. Free in Kindle Unlimited. The prequel short story, The Margin Call, is also free on Amazon right now.

Carys Simmonds has one goal: escape her Welsh village, her mother’s chaos, and the boy who wants more than she knows how to give. University is two weeks away. Freedom is close enough to taste.

Then a storm sweeps her and her best friend through a bridge that shouldn’t exist — into Greenia, a hidden world of ancient bloodlines, rival families, and a prophecy older than memory.

Dealing in Shadows

About Dealing in Shadows

Through heavy sacrifice, the nobles are born with immense powers, and these innate powers are seen as a sign of their divine mandate to rule. They can extract their abilities into objects, but doing so costs them their powers, along with years of their lives. Only the most desperate would willingly pay such a price, and any object created this way can upset the natural order of society. Naturally, such extracts are outlawed.

Carter has no power but his wits. He is a smuggler, a covert entrepreneur, a merchant of illegal goods and extracts. So when a rebellion offers him the lucrative job of smuggling weapons for them, it seems like an easy way to grow his fortune. But some costs lay hidden.

Dealing in Shadows takes its premises to their realistic endpoint. Not as a synonym for grim, but as an exploration of how such realities would effect the society. It is a story about camaraderie, ideology, authoritarianism and rebellion. About how movements grow and fracture, and about how power shifts with changes of the tides. Mostly, it is a story about people who get swept up in things far larger than they realize.

Leave the Kid Alone; A Fractured Remembrance by Steve Zettler

Leave the Kid Alone; A Fractured Remembrance by Steve Zettler

It was the best of times… “Leave the Kid Alone…” is a seriocomic memoir set in the free and easy safety of the 1950s. Stevie is seven years old. He lives with his parents and siblings above the family-owned saloon, restaurant, and country inn in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The family business is, and always has been, peddling liquor to people who would have been much better off without it. Stevie’s domain is populated with a never-ending parade of colorful characters, from Eugene, the king-sized, ever-wise, Seminole Indian bartender, to the combat veterans of WWI, WWII, and Korea laboring in the kitchen, to the free-spirited waitresses, to the Broadway celebrities carrying on nefarious affairs, to Stevie’s mob-connected godfather. Added to this mix is Stevie’s family; an overbearing older sister, blasé hard-drinking, hard-working parents, a grandmother he never knew existed, and a tyrannical great aunt. The tale unfolds over the course of a single year: Quaker school, toiling in the kitchen, summer at the Jersey Shore, the Shakespeare Festival in Canada, bussing tables on Thanksgiving, Christmas chaos, and his father’s intrusion into reenactment of George Washington crossing the Delaware. The memoir culminates with Stevie reflecting on the emotional challenges and pressures his clan faced daily while residing above this raucous establishment. “Child labor laws do not apply when it comes to a family run business.”
