About Chasing Money by Michael Balter
“A gritty heart-pounding thriller that grabs you from the first page and won’t let you get away!” – Michael Lindley
Most investor pitch meetings don’t end in murder – but then Marty and Bo haven’t had a lot of luck lately. They’ve been struggling to keep their startup business alive. It’s not high-tech, it’s not highly successful and the pressure to find capital has strained their bank accounts and Marty’s marriage.
So when Nico Scava offered to invest they eagerly accepted. He had money, connections in the art world, and a creative idea, but maybe they should have asked more questions. Now Nico’s dead and they’re on the hook for whatever scheme he was running. The Russian mob is after them, and if they don’t find $10 million and a mysterious missing painting in the next few days they’ll be dead too.
Their frantic chase will lead them from a cabin in the Oregon woods to a Portland strip club, from an aging artist to a bogus baron, and deep into the history of a missing masterpiece that someone is willing to kill to obtain. As the bodies pile up, Marty and Bo will have some tough choices to make about how far they’ll go to protect their families, their company, and themselves.

About The Driftwood Tour
Waking up from a coma handcuffed to a Tokyo hospital bed is bad enough. But failing to remember his own songs is the final straw for Wood, stage name Driftwood.
Stuck in Japan until the trial, he thinks of everything that brought him to that point. Wood traverses the rock scene of the late 1990s – the American South, Europe, and the former Soviet Union – with his bandmate, Jesse, their exhausted manager, Rachel, and a Bassett Hound named Margaret. Through hilarious bar brawls, cattle prods, voodoo rituals, and acid trips, the characters explore themes of race, sexuality, family, love, and death.
And in the most frightening moment of his life, hope. Hope to connect with the absent father he so desperately wants to know and fill the terrible emptiness where his songs used to be.
“Despite the train wreck that is Wood, he has this charm that you can’t help but be drawn to. Chaotically intoxicating, I could not look away and was completely mesmerized.”

About Forged In Dragons’ Breath
In a world scarred by the aftermath of the Purging Wars, the struggle for control over the Territories rages on. Little is known about the enigmatic dragons, once companions to mankind. But within the depths of history lies the key to ultimate power—a lost artifact that can heal the world, or corrupt the one who possesses it.
For millennia, the Orb of Power has passed through the hands of countless men, its influence shaping destinies. Legends speak of its mythical companion, the Scepter of Might, whispered to be joined with the Orb only once in the annals of time.

When Kheldour stumbled upon the elusive Scepter, he unknowingly became a target for the last Orbwielder, a man lustful for power and dominance. Arlent seeks to claim the ancient relics for himself and wield them for dominion over all the Territories. Holding something dear to Kheldour, he sends the warrior on a quest for the Scepter as ransom.
Kheldour and his wife Maryna must unite the Orb and Scepter in a desperate race against time, but Maryna holds her own secrets. The first to claim the ancient relics will determine the destiny of both men and dragons.
Will Kheldour and Maryna triumph over the forces that seek to destroy them, or will their quest for redemption be their undoing?

Enlightenment Myth-Busting by Julie Hoyle
What does it mean to be enlightened and, what does it mean for you? Do you believe that enlightenment is only reserved for ascetics wearing white robes, hidden away in Himalayan caves? If so, think again! Enlightenment Myth-Busting, Seeing Through the Lies That Bind is here to shatter the myths that have held you back from your own self-realization.
In this eye-opening book, Julie dismantles the misconceptions that have woven themselves into our understanding of enlightenment, especially in the Western world. She challenges the notions that you must adopt a spiritual persona, be a vegetarian, meditate every day, or follow certain practices to attain what is already here, as your natural birthright. Instead, drawing from the wisdom of her own radical spiritual awakening and in-depth inquiry, Julie guides you to explore everyday signs, symbols, and messages that surround you, all pointing you towards the truth: you are as perceptive, as intuitive, and as guided from within as the sages of old. Now on sale for $0.99 until September 24th, 2023.

We often face multiple difficulties in life. Things like natural disasters, accidents, health challenges, economic setbacks, addiction, inequities, climate change, and war. We often feel overwhelmed when we go through these challenges. This book teaches that there is a way through and beyond these challenges, especially when we rely on each other. Together, we have the power to do just about anything. That’s where transformation happens!
Building Communities of Hope shares how many different people bring positive change to their lives and those around them. This creates transformation and hope for many. A few include:

That’s because every single act of kindness, compassion, love, shared action, advocacy, and justice has ripple effects. Some small, others large – some short-term, others long- lasting. Everything counts. It is often gratifying hard work and sacred space that lifts us up and powers up our communities!
We have the power within us!
About Featured Book: Mind Blast; Got Stuck? Again? by Lev Mikulitski
Do you ever feel like there’s more to life? Do you find yourself yearning for guidance on the next steps to take? Are you ready to break free from the grip of stagnation and start embracing a fulfilling and joyful life? If so, you’re not alone.
Welcome to “Mind Blast” – a treasure trove of secrets designed to empower you in building a life that not only excites and fulfills you, but one that you can be truly proud of. Regardless of who you are or how far you’ve come, whether you’re a seasoned professional at the pinnacle of your career or a student pondering the direction to pursue, we all encounter moments when life throws us off balance. It happens suddenly, catching us off guard, and breaking free from it can prove challenging.
Feeling stuck? Again? It’s okay; most of us have experienced it. That’s precisely why I’m sharing this book with you. Being stuck can manifest after the end of a relationship, within a stifling job that offers familiarity at the cost of suffocation, upon realizing that your skills are no longer relevant, or even when you feel disconnected from your social environment. It can arise from an emotional disconnection with your children, financial difficulties, a series of failures, and it can leave you feeling utterly defeated.
During such times, it’s crucial to rely on our inner reservoirs of strength, strategic decision-making, emotional stability, and reasoning. Ironically, it’s precisely at these moments when we struggle the most to remember how to tap into these resources. That’s when reaching for your copy of “Mind Blast” becomes essential!
