About The Tempter’s Bane (The Drifters’ Road Part Two) by Kyle McCurry

The Tempter’s Bane is the second book to The Drifters’ Road fantasy series, continuing after the events of The Fleeing Company. Though the goblin chief has been defeated, his master, Vyroun, will soon wage war upon the north. To make matters worse, Adroegen falls over a cliff, while Caitren is taken captive and will be brought before Vyroun himself.
The rest of the company decides to split up in hope of saving both Adroegen and Caitren. Edelbir and Kattalin choose to find Adroegen, and then search for a hidden dwarven kingdom that Adroegen hoped would help fight Vyroun’s army. Gleowan and Vaenn search for Caitren in hope of saving her from certain torment and death.
Each member of the company is afraid as they enter into lands unknown to them, unsure of where their friends are or if they even still live, and in despair over the coming assault from Vyroun’s forces.

Free Worlds of Humanity

About Free Worlds of Humanity

Perfect for fans of Dune and The Reality Dysfunction, Anthony Almato’s debut, Free Worlds of Humanity, reveals the long-lasting effects of corruption and colonization in a distant future where humankind has discovered interplanetary space travel–and weaponized it.

In the colonized planets forming the Free Worlds of Humanity, a select few, like Henry McWright, live richly as politicians governing the masses through lies and deceit. They proliferate their wars with exhausted soldiers, like Askar, whose wish to die is still unfulfilled. Dissenters, like the legendary resistance leader Isabel Sideris, believe that the only way forward is through a governmental purge. Among the key players hide the pawns: wayward souls like Mace Applegate, who’s been fleeing across space with corporate secrets, and Kathryn Norcross, whose vengeance is a bag of teeth tied at her hip. For all of them, freedom isn’t free, and they’ll pay with blood if not coin.

Blending the gritty multiple-perspective narrative of Leviathan Wakes, the complex politics of Foreigner, and the trauma and conviction of Old Man’s War, the powerful tale of perseverance in Free Worlds of Humanity will leave you fighting for breath as the players dig their own graves and attempt to pull themselves out.

Witness the downfall…

The Fleeing Company (The Drifters’ Road Part One) by Kyle McCurry

About The Fleeing Company (The Drifters’ Road Part One) by Kyle McCurry

The goblin chief, under the command of an evil lord named Vyroun, is hunting Adroegen and looking to retrieve a magic jewel that Adroegen once stole. Adroegen’s friends will be killed if he does not return this jewel, and so he must lead them on a trying adventure as they run on foot through the wild from a pack of goblins that ride upon wolves.
Their only advantage is that goblins do not come out in the day, as the sun’s light is blinding to them. Therefore, each day Adroegen and his friends must cover as much distance as they can before nightfall. Adroegen tracks how close the pack is by listening to the wolves howling in the night. The louder the wolves are, the closer the pack appears to be, and the greater the reason for worry.
But another trouble for Adroegen is that the goblin chief once helped to kill all in his family. Thus, Adroegen struggles to not vengeful desires take him, as he tries to protect his new family from the enemy who took his old one.

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.

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?
