Blindspot

About Blindspot

Some doors are meant to be closed. Others force their way open.

As the sun sets over the abandoned island of Astulusia, the occasional flicker of light and distant howl serve as reminders of its forgotten secrets. But for the members of the urban explorers group, Blindspot, the desire to uncover those secrets burns deep within their hearts. When one of their own dies, that desire turns into a desperate need to honor their lost friend.

But little do they know, desire and obsession often go hand in hand. As they embark on their journey into the depths of the island, they soon realize that the secrets they uncover will test their humanity and push them to their limits. And as they delve deeper, they begin to understand that this place has been waiting for them all along.

As the Blindspot ventures further into the heart of the island, they are unaware that they are setting in motion a plan that has been in the making for centuries. And as the truth begins to unravel, they must fight to survive against forces they never could have imagined.

Leadership development by Phoenix publisher

About Leadership development by Phoenix publisher

What is leadership? Do you want to take your career to the next level by improving your leadership skills? Why is leadership one of the most crucial disciplines in managing organizations?
Naturally, some people are believed to be born with leadership qualities, but anyone can be a leader. Contrary to this popular belief, leaders are made by improving certain skills to help them influence and inspire others. Many individuals became great leaders in their careers without previous leadership experience.
For instance, Olive Ann Beech is a force to reckon with in the aviation industry because she rose to become the first woman to lead a big aircraft company following the death of her husband. She joined the industry as a secretary at Beech, Boeing, and Cessna aircraft manufacturers in 1924 (Smith, 2019). She later married Walter Beech and cofounded the Beech Aircraft Corporation in 1932. When her husband died, she took over the leadership role in the company leadership.
If you want to become an effective leader, this book is for you. It primarily focuses on providing a practical and comprehensive understanding of leadership so you can become a great leader in your career. It offers insights and solutions to individuals navigating the complexities of life and business.

This book will be free for 5 days starting the 12th of October.

2020: The YEAR The Earth Stood Still

About 2020: The YEAR The Earth Stood Still

Far too many people are cursed with short memories of even the most impactful events in human history,” writes Calitri. “The objective of ‘2020: The YEAR the Earth Stood Still’ is to prevent the monumental happenings during those 366 days from fading into the ash heap of antiquity. Focusing attention on the sources of this continuing saga is intended to keep alive the painful recollections of national and global government authoritarianism, the grief and suffering perpetrated by sinister egoists, and the ruination of so many innocent lives.”
Presented by Page Publishing, Joe Calitri’s enlightening work serves as a call to action for those who cherish individual liberties and question the expanding reach of government authority, underscoring the enduring importance of safeguarding constitutional rights and preserving the foundations of a free society. Raw and shockingly honest, “2020: The YEAR the Earth Stood Still” is poised to provoke discussion and reflection among readers who seek a deeper understanding of America’s recent history, encouraging them to reexamine their beliefs and perceptions of the events that shaped a nation in flux.

Breaking Storm: A Dark Chicago Underworld Romantic Suspense (Storm Duet 1) by Denise Baer

Breaking Storm: A Dark Chicago Underworld Romantic Suspense (Storm Duet 1) by Denise Baer

A street fighter and his childhood crush. A forced marriage. Both are hellbent on leaving the streets of Chicago, except the gang alliance won’t let them.

TEAGAN

College is my one-way ticket out of this city.

For years, I distanced myself from the Chicago underworld.

I attend college, work at a florist, and have a boyfriend who knows nothing about my life.

Now the leaders of two rival gangs block my escape. My father is forcing me to marry the son of his rival to forge an alliance. A childhood friend I haven’t seen since I was sixteen.

Joey’s a criminal, born from violence. Street wars run through his veins. I’ll do everything in my power to make this forced marriage fail.

JOEY

Once I find her, I’m fleeing the streets of Chicago.

Most people think of me as a thug. A useless street fighter called Storm.

I’d love nothing more than to get away from this life, but my old man has blackmailed me for as long as I can remember.

I’m forced to marry Teagan, my father’s biggest nemesis’s daughter, and childhood crush. All I have to do is bide my time to sever the hold my old man has on me and disappear forever.

Author’s Note: BREAKING STORM is book one of the STORM DUET. It’s a dark love story between Teagan and Joey. A romantic suspense, enemies-to-lovers, forced marriage, following one couple through disturbing incidences, getting acquainted, lots of steamy moments, and a blood-curdling race to escape. This book ends with a major CLIFFHANGER, so you need to read the books in order. Book two, CHASING STORM, is the conclusion. These books contain adult content and triggers. Reader discretion is advised.
