Santa’s Test Drive

About Santa’s Test Drive

‘How will Santa find me?’ That was the question my 4 year old daughter asked me after I got divorced. Every other year she spent Christmas with me, and Christmas Eve with her dad. This was a serious question that needed a plausible story! That’s how ‘Santa’s Test Drive’ was created. A story about the magic of Santa and all of his very important helpers and how he was able to find her no matter where she was!

After searching – and not finding – a story to help explain how Santa can find kids wherever they are, I decided to write one. I hope you check it out and forward it to anyone that might be in the same situation ❤️

Secret Baby Scandal

About Secret Baby Scandal

Getting hot and heavy with a chiseled billionaire is the perfect way to get over an ex. Getting pregnant isn’t…

I’m a best selling author fresh off a bad breakup. Wyatt’s a sexy real estate mogul donating the writers guild winner a three-month retreat at his small town, 5 star resort.

I didn’t know him, but when we first met at the awards gala, his piercing stare set my curiosity on fire.

So when he motioned towards the bathroom I decided to act on an unexpected impulse.

Ten minutes later we were fumbling to get our clothes on and trying to sneak out unnoticed.

Panic sets in when I see him delivering the award.

He announces my name and by the look on his face he’s as shocked as I am.

A scandal like this could ruin my writing career and jeopardize his fortune.

Trying to resist him at the retreat is impossible. Sneaking around makes it all the more fun.

I’m trying to play it cool and not rush things.

But my clothes are getting tighter and I’m not sure how much longer I can hide this baby.

There, she stumbles into a world of wine and roses as she puts her strengths and beliefs to the ultimate test. When a Greek businessman tries to rescue her, Kassie discovers—in life—it’s not whether you win or lose, it’s the way you love that counts.

Squeeze Plays by Jeffrey Marshall

Squeeze Plays by Jeffrey Marshall

Squeeze Plays takes the reader to an opulent world of penthouses and paneled boardrooms in New York, where the head of a publishing empire who has risen far above his talents is facing a serious financial shortfall – and his banker isn’t about to give him a leg up.
The chairman of Star Enterprises, Winston Crumm, is the captain of his own ship, though he is never the one actually piloting it. When he steps in to save his family’s newspaper business, he gets his company into bed with a shady Russian oligarch without the knowledge of anyone else on the board.
When the Whitehall Banking Group pulls the loan that Star Enterprises has been living on, Winston Crumm needs to do something to save his pocketbook. The easy road arrives in the form of Maxim Ripovsky, a London-based billionaire who offers $20 million, the exact amount of the Whitehall loan. Ripovsky’s terms for this investment are mildly bizarre, but seem perfectly tolerable to the desperate Winston.
Unbeknownst to Winston, Ripovsky is working his own scheme to get on the board of Whitehall by blackmailing their CEO. Meanwhile, Bob Mandell, a Financial Times reporter catches the scent of the mysterious investment that saved Star Enterprises and begins to uncover Ripovsky’s many shell corporations and their questionable investments, putting Winston’s company once again at risk.
Along the way, the reader encounters sexual and financial blackmail, a break-in intended to quash Mandell’s story, and the places and people in the lives of the ultra-privileged. It also uses the author’s background as a financial journalist to bring to life the investigative reporter’s probe into the loan, the shell companies and the secretive investment.
SQUEEZE PLAYS is a financial espionage novel of 67,000 words. It uses wit and an insider’s experience with financial journalism to explore the underhanded agreements and suspect motives of investors and desperate men.

Her near-death experience on a family holiday in Africa inspired her to pay it forward by creating this valuable narrative for women.

Patience tells her unique story of how her upbringing in a Lemba (black Jew) tradition shaped her belief system, which led to her embarking on a STEM career. She rose above many challenges and traumatic experiences, from not feeling good enough as a child, to almost drowning while in primary school, to becoming a mother at the age of 21. She shares her personal journey, from facing subtle invisible barriers, to rising through the ranks and finally being known as the most influential woman in mining in Africa and selected for the acclaimed IWF Fellows Program.

• Bonuses and challenges at the end of each chapter to help you get started immediately

“You need to unleash something extra to be the change you want to see in the world. Its about having a sense of purpose, stepping out of your comfort zone, using your voice to inspire others, and being a catalyst for change. Women have superpowers and it’s time to unleash them! Wathinta umfazi, wathinta imbokodo is a Zulu saying that means, ‘You strike a woman, you strike a rock.’ Let us all shine our lights and help others shine theirs.” – Dr Patience Mpofu

Black & White by Erol Rashit

About Black & White by Erol Rashit

Special promotion: free December 15 & 16, 2021

Confronting racism, transcending duality: Black & White is a metaphysical Western, set in modern times and incorporating more than a touch of the East.

A young white man, Igor, adopts as his mother a middle aged black woman, Sylvia, after meeting her in a café, each having come from the nearby cemetery. The deeper he delves into the death of Sylvia’s son, the more embroiled Igor becomes in the activities of Los Angeles gangsters, and the more he becomes the focus of a police investigation himself. If this were an old Western movie, the heroes and villains might almost be wearing white and black hats respectively. Then again, the hats could be misleading: Igor’s appetite for polyamorous relationships is not exactly respectable; nor is his willingness to match the brutality of those he seeks to outwit as he immerses himself within a tangled web of deception and violence.

‘He who sees inaction in action, and action in inaction, he is wise among men.’
—Bhagavad Gita IV, 18

Why is Cole’s office so off-limits to Belle? What is he hiding in there?

Who am I? What is my purpose? How did I get to this point in my life?

If you have ever asked yourself these questions, you are not alone. Connecting the dots between who you were and who you want to be is difficult, and many young adults especially struggle with this as they enter adulthood.

Self-awareness is a skill and ongoing process that you practice to be more conscious of your strengths, weaknesses, values, and overall presence. At the end of each chapter, there are questions to help you reflect upon your own experiences and practice self-awareness. This allows you to further understand how your unique human experience impacts the way you interact with and perceive the world around you.

This book is for you if you are:
• confused about or trying to figure out what to do with your life,
• giving up on your dreams and passions,
• struggling to find a purpose,
• curious to learn more about yourself,
• or questioning why/how you got here

It is never too late to start exploring! Whether you are in your 20s, 30s, 40s, or older, self-awareness is a practice that continues to evolve as you do. Where will you start exploring today?
