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.

Purple Hearts by Arthur Archaambeau

About Purple Hearts by Arthur Archaambeau

Everyone has a war story to tell

A jaded cop struggling to come to terms with her past falls for an idealistic former Marine-turned-cat rescuer on the crime-infested streets of West Baltimore.

Hope Kennedy is a cynical Baltimore cop. Her beat is the Mondawmin area of West Baltimore—the most dangerous neighborhood in America’s most dangerous city. And she’s struggling—unsuccessfully—to overcome a terrible event that has come to shape her life. Hope’s become angry and bitter. She’s spiraling out of control. Hope has lost hope.

Luke Matthews is a decorated Marine Corps combat veteran. He received the Purple Heart for a wound inflicted in Afghanistan. Now, he works as a carpenter for a nonprofit that builds homes for disabled vets. In his spare time, he volunteers with a local cat rescue. But Luke’s battling his own demons. He’s haunted by the war. Specifically, by a fog of war experience—a tragic accident—that has left him racked with guilt.

When Hope and Luke meet in a dingy alley, it’s anything but love at first sight. But a near-fatal accident a week later forges a bond. Eventually, in the middle of a cold Baltimore winter, a romance heats up. Little-by-little, Hope and Luke help one another feel alive again.
But Hope doesn’t know how to process her past, a past that is now jeopardizing her future. And as she and Luke get closer, she questions whether she’s worthy of his love.

Can two wounded, badly bruised, purple hearts come together and help one another heal?
Purple Hearts is not for the faint of heart. It’s as tough and gritty as the city it’s set in. It’s a slow burn, blue-collar romance about going the distance. And finding unconditional love at the end of the journey.

And along this journey, Hope and Luke meet a memorable cast of supporting characters—a no-nonsense police sergeant who practices tough love. A colorful late-night radio DJ. A homeless Vietnam veteran. A repentant mobster. A precocious young boy who seems to be in the know. A mysterious emergency room physician. A street cat looking for his forever home. And a little girl fighting cancer.

Purple Hearts is a story about life and death, joy and sorrow, laughter and tears—and ultimately, hope. All wrapped in the love of two perfectly imperfect human beings.

Neglected Merge: A Fantasy Utopian Romance by Eve Koguce

About Neglected Merge: A Fantasy Utopian Romance by Eve Koguce

“Neglected Merge” is an inspirational thought-provoking futuristic fantasy romance novel. The story of fated lovers developed against a backdrop of a new post-apocalyptic world painted in bright tones. A fortuitous meeting of Tauria, an independent woman living in one utopian-style world, and Doron from high society of the other world, is destined to be the new beginning for both worlds.

Tauria, aged 32, lives in the society that seems to believe that happiness is a universal concept. People, who had survived the near apocalyptic experience, have built a whole new world full of pleasure and easiness. It is designed to make everyone feel happy every minute of their lives. Work brings satisfaction, hobbies are encouraged, relationships are supposed to bring out only positive emotions. Does it matter that things that don’t fit into the general happy pattern get discarded and disappear? Things like friendship and commitment. Things like true love. It is supposed to be enough with lightness and never-ending joy.

But there are two worlds now. They are forced to exist side by side. Can they find a way to live together?

The Chinese proverb says: “When the winds of change blow, some people build walls and others build windmills.” What will the people of two worlds, so utterly different and at the same time so similar, choose?

The Awakening of Artemis

About The Awakening of Artemis

Orphaned and disillusioned, Diana Gutierrez-Adams is on a routine military assignment when she and her team are kidnapped by a domestic militia. She learns from her captors that her cryogenically-frozen grandfather is at the center of a high-stakes caper to steal technology for greed and great fortune. Challenged by the conspiracy and pulled by emotions she doesn’t fully understand, Diana begins a rescue mission that will change her life.

Set in 2049 America — a world where the elites make all the rules and artificial intelligence enforces them – the real danger is that the technology will be lost in the ensuing chaos. With her life under threat, Diana is forced into a desperate bid to escape, taking with her Gabrielle, her soulmate and the one person she knows she can trust.

To evade a devious enemy who is one step ahead of them at every turn, Diana and Gabrielle must outsmart the global monitoring systems that tracks their every move. On a trail littered with the dystopian remains of middle-class America, they will come face-to-face with an artificial intelligence that threatens the future of all humankind.

What happens to her is unexpected, perhaps miraculous – an adventure that embraces all her hopes for finding her true self and her place in a world dominated by powerful elites and even more powerful artificial intelligence.

Then after a disastrous flight, he is taken aback when the actress refuses to give up the novel unless he escorts her to her latest film premier for reasons that seem…well, rather odd.

Can he escape the spotlight shenanigans to save a true treasure from falling into the wrong hands? And keep himself from falling for a woman who is way beyond his reach in this zany quest to rescue a priceless classic?
