Mist and Shadow by Kaylin Wise

About Mist and Shadow by Kaylin Wise

It wasn’t the first time Daphne Cole dreamed of the fatal car accident and the violent shadow that caused it.
Only she didn’t expect her dream to be real.
Or that she would start seeing ghosts everywhere she went.
As Daphne struggles to adjust to a world unseen, she attempts to use her abilities to help the school haunting move on, a task that grows complicated when she starts falling for the ghost’s brother, a fellow classmate.
But seeing ghosts quickly becomes the least of Daphne’s worries.
A dormant evil is awakening, and when once-human creatures threaten the balance of the world, Daphne must prepare for the battle of her life. One that will test the very limits of her strength.
If she fails, it will be more than her life on the line.

The Emerald of Viridian

The Emerald of ViridianAbout The Emerald of Viridian

When she’s awake, nobody sees her.
When she sleeps, they all come out to kill her.

Katie Edwards only wants one thing—gorgeous and popular Jake Bronson. When she is soundly rejected after asking him to the Sadie Hawkin’s dance, Katie goes to bed that night, humiliated and heartbroken, knowing she no longer wants to remain the same. The night of this revelation, she falls asleep in her bed, but wakes up in an island paradise that is very, very far from Earth.

After surviving several near-death experiences in the tropical jungle, she awakens again in her bedroom, as if Viridian were only a dream.

Or was it real? Her misadventures steel her resolve to change and improve, especially when she senses something lurking in the shadows, watching her every move. Katie pushes herself to run, lift weights, and learn to fight. That way, when her Viridian dream-life takes her to a place far from home and full of danger, she is strong enough to stand up against her enemies.

About Soup: The Future Is Past And Present by Travis Haugen

Scott Yonge exploded onto the national consciousness at the 2001 Garrett Awards and quickly rose to legendary status on the wings of his music and his whirlwind romance with independent film actress Michelle Zoe. What should have been a perfect life was interrupted by an ultra-right wing militant group called the American Freedom Force and its leader, Colonel Randall, who forces Scott to choose between his life and that of his son. After his heroic sacrifice, his family is left to pick up the pieces and forge ahead to a future in the vacuum he left behind.

Now, in 2021, his son Hedley inherits music for himself, becoming a star in his own right as technology gives new life to the medium. Scott’s daughter, affectionately known as Soup, throws herself into unravelling the mysteries of her family’s history. Michelle commits herself to keeping them all together and trying to make sense of life without the one she loves. Through it all, the AFF looms in the shadows, threatening to resurrect the pain they have just begun to overcome.

In the first of his new series, Travis Haugen explores the reaches of the near future through his love of music, technology, and the unbreakable bonds of family. This book includes digital access to twenty-four original songs created by the author to bring the story and its characters to life.

Silent Rise

About Silent Rise

On sale on Amazon .99 until October 10! Normally $6.99.

The arts are a powerful change agent…
…lives and communities can be transformed but the “fine arts” are not the key.
Putting the arts into the hearts and minds of everyday people can launch both personal and city-wide positive change. This author, a forty-year community arts veteran, argues that the elitism of the fine arts, the arts relegated to the upper class, excludes the vast majority of the middle and certainly working-class.
The city of Hamilton, Ohio was in decline in the 1990s. A low high school graduation rate, racial unrest, a declining economy—yet city and community leaders turned to an arts-for-the-people approach. They searched for the right person to lead this effort.
A blue-collar kid understands hard work. He also knows how to complete a task. When that kid decides to make his life in the arts, in the dichotomy of blue-collar and arts, he understands that “fine arts” will not be enough and will not be the best way to reach the ends his community hopes to achieve. He also knew that if success were to be had, the arts would have to be broadly defined as they were introduced to the public. The mission would be community excellence through the arts.
Hamilton was at the threshold of the town’s bicentennial; a cultural plan increased their hope. They listened to the people and decided to build a community arts center. Would this courageous—and many thought dubious—decision work?
This memoir by the man who was brought to town to lead this twenty-five-year journey shows how a struggling city utilized the arts to ignite the renaissance the city is now experiencing. This story of challenge, transformation, and hope is an honest and straight-forward account of what is required to lead with authenticity and achieve amazing results.

Why Can’t We Get What We Want?: How To Achieve Your Goals As You Imagine Them

About Why Can’t We Get What We Want?: How To Achieve Your Goals As You Imagine Them

Dream of many things and have a great desire to achieve them. However, when you take the first step to perform any of them, you feel that hidden forces prevent you from taking even one slight movement in the way of achieving.

You should know that three forces dominate you. Three forces within you force you to behave and speak in a certain way, make you love and addicted to things, hate and reject others, and make you say and do things Unconsciously.

Those forces have the same age and strength as you. However, when you were a kid, they were weak and easy to control. That’s why you were satisfied and happy and had absolute freedom because all of these forces were working side by side under your control.

When you grow up, these forces become more muscular and become the cruelest possible and impose their power over you, so now you must deal with them differently.

This book has three main sections. Each section serves as a separate and complementary section simultaneously for the rest of the sections.

The first section will identify the three forces that dominate you and teach you how to deal with them so you can impose your complete authority over them and thus your entire life.

The second section is separate chapters that will teach you how to deal with your life experiences and your inner feelings like fear, anxiety, and shame and use those feelings to make you get what you want.

The third section is seven strategies and tricks that you can use to control these forces and make them support you instead of working against you, so you can live as a free human again, who has the ability to say and do what he wants in the time and place that he wants, a person who can get what wants.

Content:

Chapter 1: Know Yourself
Chapter 2: The Heart
Chapter 3: The Brain
Chapter 4: The Adaptation Center
Chapter 5: Tame Your Heart
Chapter 6: Control Your habits
Chapter 7: Repetition

Chapter 8: Love Your Fear
Chapter 9: You Will Die Soon
Chapter 10: Education
Chapter 11: Concentrate Greatly
Chapter 12: Take Advantage of Significant Changes

Strategy 2: Continuity

Big Bad Baby Daddy

About Big Bad Baby Daddy

The Billion Dollar Baby Daddy.
You’ve got to be kidding me. But nope, that’s what the world calls him.

Fixing things, people, and situations is what I do for a living. And I’m the best.
The problem? The hottie doesn’t want my help.

He’s “got this.” Right…
But here’s the deal, I’m not working for him. I’m working “on” him.
I just never expected to have a secret to share. Like a bonus from the job I wasn’t expecting.
I’m pregnant with the Baby Daddy’s Baby.
So I save him, but who the heck is coming to save me?

The Married Man’s Survival Guide by Dennis Dziedzic

About The Married Man’s Survival Guide by Dennis Dziedzic

“I wish I had read this book before my divorce.”

That’s what one reader said about the Married Man’s Survival Guide. He’s not the only one. Men from all over the world have said similar things.

It’s explains, in simple terms, the most common mistakes that men make in marriage and what to do instead.

These mistakes aren’t small. They are real and dangerous, like a snake in the grass. They cost men their masculinity and their dreams of what their marriage could be, of what it should be.

Overtime, these mistakes will eat away at a husband’s self-esteem, identity as a man, and his power to serve his family.

He ends up settling for a bland bedroom life (if that), frustrating communication, and a deep dissatisfaction with his status quo.
Some of the mistakes and their consequences:

A husband who says “yes, dear” just because it’s easier
Walking on eggshells to avoid making her angry
A wife who feels like you don’t understand her
Taking on more than your fair share of household chores b/c you think she’ll be less tired and more willing to have sex with you. (About a 20% success rate, if you’re honest.)
For some MIRACULOUS reason, your wife is always right.
So what do you do about it?

You either stop shooting yourself in the foot…or you continue pretending “this is just how marriage has to be.”

That’s where this short guide comes in.

In it, you will find clear explanations of 9 of the most common hazards to your identity as a man and your marriage…along with the mindsets, strategies, and tactics that you need to overcome them.

So that you can make your marriage into a sanctuary of healthy communication and deep intimacy. For you AND your wife!

This book is no fluff. No bluster. No BS.

All business.

Specifically, this guide will teach you:

Elements of attraction so you can re-spark your wife’s interest which means she’s more likely to WANT to spend time in the bedroom…with YOU.
How to show more empathy so that your wife FEELS connected to you.
The truth about what women want in a husband and how to deliver it in an authentic, integrated manner. (Hint, it’s NOT what culture is telling you.)
Strategies and tactics to initiate intimacy with your wife in a straight forward and powerful way.
The reason why you must stop wearing superhero T-shirts.(This one is gonna sting.)
And much more!

Sons of Brutality

About Sons of Brutality

A SATANIC SNUFF CLUB

A RUTHLESS VIGILANTE

AN INTRICATE WEB OF DECEPTION

WHO CAN YOU TRUST?

Los Angeles is a city under siege.

When Detective Addison Mowbray begins investigating the murders of two young women in the Hollywood Hills, he can’t imagine where the case will lead. He suspects the crimes were inspired by an occult fascination, due to some missing body parts and the inverted Christian cross branded on the victims’ breasts. But apart from Addison’s temperamental partner, Jed, the only other person keen on them pursuing that line of investigation is Lilly Coniglio, a medical examiner from the Coroner’s Department. The LAPD is already under immense public pressure due to all the bad press another killer – a vigilante – has brought to their door: it’s been over a year since the first organized-crime figure showed up full of holes, with a plastic police badge beside his body.

As Addison and Jed navigate a murky, disturbing occult landscape in search of answers, they uncover something even more terrifying than a killer hiding in the shadows: an organization so vile and powerful that it changes their lives forever. These two troubled detectives are all that stand between this organization and a spectacular season of carnage.

Set against a backdrop of urban bleakness and social inequality, Sons of Brutality combines deeply flawed protagonists with human monsters, integrating strong dialogue, violent action and gripping Suspense.
