Reign of the Buffalo: Book 1

About Reign of the Buffalo: Book 1

During the summer months, most parents living in large cities send their kids to camps or summer school. Not Wilson’s parents. For some strange reason, every summer, they send him and his little brother down South to spend time with their Grandmother, an elderly Native American woman living in a small house on the edge of a small town. No one has ever told Wilson the reason his parents continuously send the two boys there. The only thing Wilson knows is that while he’s there he’s forced to take care of his 100-year-old Great Grandmother. She’s a strange woman that refuses to interact with the public and spends all her days sitting alone, staring into the dark forest at the edge of the backyard. One day when Wilson’s Great Grandmother dies, she leaves him a terrifying gift; one that’s so powerful it alters the way he views the world – and the way the world views him. There are some things parents shouldn’t hide from their children.

Last Chance California

About Last Chance California

Are We All Doomed to Become Our Parents?

Terrified he’s becoming just like his father, Wyatt Lewis, a disillusioned millennial, breaks up with his fiancée to chase his childhood dream – a fresh start in Southern California.

Once in San Diego, Wyatt reunites with an old friend, Summer Harrison, while falling hard for the elusive and free-spirited, Leah Murphy. Summer and Leah show Wyatt a dazzling world littered with lavish speakeasies, egregious drug use, and overpriced cocktails. Surrounded by fake glamor and stuck in a terrible corporate job, Wyatt’s escape turns into his worst nightmare.

Overworked, alone, and filled with regret, the aspiring writer spirals down a self-destructive path that forces him to confront the violent past he ran away to California to forget.

In his raw, hilarious, and dark debut novel, Brian Price showcases our world, on the verge of the COVID-19 pandemic, through the eyes of a sarcastic and stubborn narrator as he attempts to drown his family’s demons.

The First Time Dad’s Pregnancy Guide: The Newly Expectant Father’s Essential Handbook on Being a Knowledgeable and Supportive Partner by Nathan Mullins

About The First Time Dad’s Pregnancy Guide: The Newly Expectant Father’s Essential Handbook on Being a Knowledgeable and Supportive Partner by Nathan Mullins

You can be a great father starting now – even before you’ve met your baby

Can’t wait to meet your little one, but also panicking because you don’t know what to do?
Wish you could be more helpful and supportive to your pregnant partner, but you have no idea what’s going on with her?
Feeling overwhelmed and confused by all the well-meaning (but often contradictory) advice from friends and family?

While impending parenthood is an exciting time for any couple, it can also be extremely stressful.
There are so many things to prepare, information to learn about, and a developing partner to take care of.
It’s also easy for the expectant father to feel left out and useless during pregnancy. After all, it’s your partner who is doing all the heavy lifting, and all the attention and concerns are (rightly) directed on her. But your role as a father doesn’t start only when your baby is born – it starts the moment you find out you’re about to be parents. However, no one is born knowing how to be a father. It’s a role you grow into as you gain wisdom through experience.
It doesn’t hurt to have a cheat sheet handy, though.

With this handbook, you’ll find all the things a father-to-be needs to know prior to your long-awaited arrival.
From catering to your partner’s needs to preparing for delivery day, there’s a wealth of to-dos here that will keep you busy and useful while your partner is creating your little one inside her.

In The First Time Dad’s Pregnancy Guide, you will discover:

How to start stepping up to fatherhood, even if you’re still months away from meeting your baby
How to overcome your fears and apprehensions about becoming a father with these reassuring insights
The unpleasant side effects of pregnancy and how to support your partner through the aches and pains
A week-by-week guide to pregnancy to help you envision your growing baby – and empathize with your partner along the way
Government aid programs you should know about and take advantage of – enjoy savings and tax breaks on your childbirth and childcare expenses
All the baby essentials you need to have ready before the baby comes – and the expensive items you shouldn’t bother getting
How to make yourself useful while your partner is in labor and delivering your baby (yes, you still have important duties to do!)
And much more.

You may not be the one carrying the baby for nine months, and you may not be the one physically bringing them into the world.
But you are just as important to your child, and even more important to your partner, especially as they go through all these physical changes.
This is the start of a life-changing journey that will shape not just your life, but also that of your unborn baby.
Make sure you’re creating the best environment and developing your best self while your little one is still on the way.

Be Perfectly Imperfect by Vyoma Nupur

About Be Perfectly Imperfect by Vyoma Nupur

Be Perfectly Imperfect” is a collection of short essays on how to live a better and happy life – with love, laughter and finding the recipe for happiness. Essays include “Be Perfectly Imperfect”, “You Become What You Think”, “The Art of Letting Go”, which encourage us to monitor our thoughts more, learn how to let go of the negativity we collect and become more spontaneous in our life, releasing any judgmental attitudes we may hold toward others.
Essays such as “Labels Are for Milk Bottles, Not People” elucidate the value of accepting people, as they are –multidimensional beings of different shades – and not trying to package them in neatly labeled simplistic personality models.
Life is about being fearless and living each day more consciously. Life is about looking inward into our hearts and finding peace there. “Life is Breaching the Fearsome Walls of What-Ifs” and “Life Is a Symphony of Silence” are opening oneself to the inner possibilities of fearlessness and moving beyond the outer and inner chatter to a state of profound peace and silence.

How to be much happier in our daily lives, making it richer by embracing the small jewels of priceless moments that happen and laughing open heartedly – are the central themes of “The Recipe For Happiness Is Not Gourmet”, “Laughing With Life” and “Little Things Matter The Most”.
“Why Am I Here, Again” and “Am I Good Enough?” are about reflective self-understanding. Whatever I feel has flown from my heart onto these pages, spontaneously in an unconventional, flowery and poetic way –culminating into these short writings. This book has a voice that is conversational and blog-like. It invites the reader to participate back with their views. It draws examples from their daily life. The examples and feelings can be related to, by everyone, whichever cultural orientation or nationality they may belong to. There are dashes of whimsical reflection, poetic hope, introspective musing, humor and a serious vein all together varying from essay to essay. Men or women, in every walk of life – whether the carefree teenager growing into a careworn adult, suddenly beset with worries and uncertainties, whether an adult seeking hope and laughter, whether mature individuals who strive for peace and silence – these essays would in part – or in totality – appeal to all folks, in all stages of life. People interested in a fun, conversational read in the self-help, inspirational category will enjoy this book.

Discover a time when mankind was trying to make sense of the world around them but managed to create mighty empires that still maintain an influence on our lives today. Learn about the lives of the rulers, artisans, and warriors who introduced literacy, farming, and sophisticated warfare to the ancient world.

There’s a lot to find, so use this comprehensive yet simple book as your personal guide.

Allow this book to take you on a tour of ancient Mesopotamia, and you will gain insight into the following:

Luna Ascending

About Luna Ascending

Claimed by two very different warring men, I must awaken my power, and choose my fate…
My name is Freya Feye. A few weeks ago, I was just your ordinary, lonely librarian. I didn’t believe in magic, witches or werewolves. Hell, I didn’t even know if I believed in love. All that changed the second Dirk Varg entered my life.

He’s arrogant, cocky and kind of rough around the edges. That doesn’t change the fact that when we lock eyes, my heart skips a beat and a strange power courses through my body. Dirk’s no ordinary man. He’s the alpha heir to a clan of wolf shifters. In other words, he’s a damn werewolf!

Somehow I’ve been swept into an ancient feud between shifter clan and witch coven. They both claim me; my friends, family and my heart are all caught in the crossfire. But I’ve got a secret, a power no one else has ever had. I’ll use that power to fight back. Starting now, no one hurts the people I care about.

No one decides my fate but me…

Apotheosis Now: Rabbit Hole to the Beyond by Yanhao Huang

About Apotheosis Now: Rabbit Hole to the Beyond by Yanhao Huang

A mind that is fragmented and sees the world in terms of what is me and not me, good and bad, will be caught in endless conflict. Because externally, we are always trying to control what is “not me,” and internally, we always get perplexed trying to figure out whether our actions came from our “higher” or “lower” self. As Albert Einstein said: “We can not solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them.”

This book will help you to understand:
– Why we have internal conflicts
– How does our ego trap us in undesirable circumstances
– How do our beliefs limit us
– Why thought-based teachings (Law of Attraction), or self-improvement advice don’t work
– How do we really get what we want
– Why is happiness so rare for us
– Who we are really
– What is the nature of existence
– What is the meaning of life
– How do we know if there is a God
– What is the process of spiritual enlightenment

Many of us are starting to become tired of this game of life. We have been comparing and striving all our life. But no matter how much success we have achieved—we are still hollow and still have found nothing fulfilling. We don’t even know if happiness exists because it is no longer a living thing in our experience—it has become dead, as we only know it as a concept or memory.

We have sought self-help advice, philosophies, and religious teachings to transform ourselves but have not gotten anywhere. We have made some superficial improvements—like adopting a new mindset—but our core remains the same. We are still competitive, still fearful, and we get disturbed all the time.

The problem with all attempts at self-improvement is that we do not address the fundamental problem, which is: who is the “you” who needs to be improved? We do not see that the one who is making the improvement is the same one who needs to be improved. The more we try to improve, the more conflict we introduce, within and without. The more knowledge we stuff in our heads, the more we become trapped in a conceptual prison of reality. Inevitably, the more confused we get in life.

The book guides the reader out of their distorted beliefs to experience reality beyond the mind. When the deeper intelligence is allowed to flourish without our mind’s interference, then the game of life becomes effortless.
