THE END by John Barnes

THE END by John Barnes

This is not your classic love story. “The End” is a thought provoking tale set at the end of the world—filled with wars, earthquakes, flooding, and more. Shining light on some of life’s most pertinent questions, this is an ambitious story of romance and adventure, with shocking events that will make you think about your personal journey on earth. The end is near, but life and love go on in a California town.

Jake Peterson is the captain of the football team, senior class president, and a good Christian guy. Jake’s grandparents were killed by a drunk driver when he was 12, and because of that, he made a commitment never to drink alcohol. He falls in love with the prettiest girl in school—Katie Martin—who is in the party crowd and likes to drink. Jake and Katie’s love grows amidst their differences on drinking and during major tragedies leading up to the end of the world.

During their senior year, there are natural disasters, diseases, wars, political fighting, and more. They have to deal with extremist groups too. But the only thing that slows Jake and Katie’s relationship is their difference of opinion about drinking. As graduation nears, Katie gives Jake an ultimatum to break his commitment on drinking or move on. Jake struggles to make his decision, but before he can tell Katie his answer, something changes their relationship forever.

Katie and Jake deal with shocking events that are part of the end of the world—even stars falling from the sky. Can their love survive the most astonishing changes happening in the world?

My Last Secret

About My Last Secret

My brother’s best friend wanted me for a night. Now I have a surprise.
And it was years ago we slept together. When we were just kids.
Getting pregnant left me with a different life path than I’d expected, but I let him go.
He had big dreams and I let him go live them, but now he’s back in my life, as arrogant as ever.
My secret baby daddy has a mission to revive the city but his plans would hurt the people I serve in my charity.
The charity that took care of me when I had nothing but a newborn and a shaky smile. 
I’m not sure if he’s playing the good guy or actually is. He’s not the same guy I fell in love with.
Either way, our goals are in opposition with each other.
This isn’t a second chance at love.
It’s, ‘may the best man win’.
Let the games begin.

The Days of After

About The Days of After

It is prophesied that one will come to save them all. “He Who Will Come” is the story of a child who will possess the secrets of the men from before. A child who will move stone and wood with only a glance. An old story, told by their father’s father’s fathers. This child of prophecy would grow into a man who would ease the burdens of all villages.

Nobody knew how the great stone giants to the West were built or, for some, sprang up from the ground like the cottages. Nobody knew, but speculation abounded. Noah fell firmly on the side of those who believed there once were men who worked with stone and even made their own stone. He believed men also worked with metal, enormous metals and not just enough to form the knives, plows or other handy but small quotidian tools, but enough to build houses made of the hardest of Earth’s minerals and great tools—tools that dwarfed by far the modest equipment they used now. Noah believed those men knew as a matter of course what today were great secrets. He believed that to those men, the great seemed small, the distant seemed nearby and the mysterious seemed commonplace. He believed that the present they lived in was nothing more than a shadow of the past they had lost and what was more, he insisted that if they all believed and worked for it, the future could hold for them the same glory as this mythical past he believed in.

However, Noah was now dead, and the village had no one to lead them. They had all been taught the prophecy, but without the elders to remind and guide them they were unprepared and unorganized for the atrocities that had been visited upon neighboring villages. They were helpless to save themselves. Now, more so than ever, they were in need of a savior.

Manifestation for the Modern Woman: Don’t Quit Your Daydream

About Manifestation for the Modern Woman: Don’t Quit Your Daydream

Do you often find yourself caught in a daydream of a different version of your life?
Are you happier? More fulfilled?

Are you then suddenly confronted with your reality; feeling upset and defeated?

We are constantly talking ourselves out of our dreams. We have been conditioned to accept safety, stability, and the status quo that has unfolded in front of us.

Giving up prior to attempting any sort of change in our monotonous, unrewarding lives is something that we have all experienced. The dream seems too big, out of reach, and unrealistic.

After reading about the magic of manifestation, you will discover:

That most effective way to change your life
How to confront yourself honestly and what is holding you back
An awareness for your sense of self
How to identify what you truly want out of life
What it feels like to fulfill, listen to, and love yourself
A willingness to and acceptance of indulging your fantasies
How to maximize the amount of joy and success in your life

If you do not believe that you will see significant, material results from this practice, I can guarantee that you will be proven wrong after reading this book, and implementing manifestation into your daily routine.

Your mindset is the one thing in this life that you have complete control over. Align your thoughts and actions with what your heart and gut are telling you.

Very few people are able to overcome their fear of taking a meaningful and intentional chance at changing their life. Stop holding yourself back.

Teach Me New Tricks

About Teach Me New Tricks

He’s going to make me break my number one rule.
And possibly lose my job.
How dare he?
It’s pretty simple, though. Don’t date students.
Which is normally easy to stick to. Who wants to date an eighteen-year-old boy?
Not me. I much prefer an older man with rough hands that knows what he’s doing.
Enter Mr. Evans.
A single father billionaire with more time on his plate than he knows what to do with.
And the man is brilliant and wickedly delicious.
Much to my surprise, he’s quickly becoming my star pupil, which means he gets more of my time than necessary.
But I can’t help myself. He’s exactly what I need in my life, in my bed, kissing me at the stroke of midnight… 
And the best is even though he’s older than me, he’s more than willing to let me teach him a few new tricks.
Let’s just hope we don’t get caught.

The Art Of Note Taking: Your Research-Based Guide To Taking Notes That Will Stick To Your Memory

About The Art Of Note Taking: Your Research-Based Guide To Taking Notes That Will Stick To Your Memory

“Other books tell you how to take notes. This book shows you the right way how.

You did everything right this semester. You attended all your classes and took copious notes at each lecture. As far as you’re concerned, you’re ready for finals.

Only thing is, those notes that you thought were so great? They no longer make any sense.

Picture another scenario where you’re at an important work meeting. You’re scribbling furiously, afraid to miss anything being said about the big project. Afterward, your boss approaches you for a copy.

You look down at the disorganized handful of scribbles in your hand. Do you dare hand it to them?

If you’re either of these people, you’re not alone. Even though it’s something you would have done every day at school, most people aren’t great at taking notes.

That’s because modern education takes for granted the very skills that build good note-taking habits.

This is unfortunate because note-taking has so many potential benefits.

According to a 2014 study published by the Association for Psychological Science, note-taking helps students make connections that help them retain material better.

In this study, Pam Mueller and David Oppenheimer credit note-taking with giving students the time to process the ideas being explained.

Hence, concepts aren’t simply regurgitated – concepts are understood. The psychological research concludes note-taking leads to better performance.

Business leaders also swear by the benefits of note-taking. Thomas Edison, Richard Branson, and Bill Gates are all prodigious notetakers, and no one can deny their career success in their respective fields.

But if note-taking is such an important skill, why don’t more people learn it?

For starters, in the age of overwhelming information, most people believe note-taking is hard. Second, it requires practice.

Even if they start, most people feel lost and quit before any real progress is made.

This book helps you overcome these challenges.

Here’s a small peek at what you’ll learn from its pages:

Your core learning style and how to pick the right note-taking technique for you
The five note-taking strategies they never taught you at school
Why most people are poor at taking notes and what you can do to fix it
The four benefits of taking notes… including one you’d never have thought of
How to weight lift with notes to build that memory muscle
This critical quality which separates the best notetakers from the rest of us
When note-taking is a team sport: How teachers can help students become better note takers
The surprising answer to “Is it better to take notes by laptop or by hand?”

The most important thing about this book is that it won’t just dump information onto you. There are exercises to improve your new skills and tips to practice and improve what you’ve learned. This book can stand by you throughout your entire progress.

Everyone can benefit from better note-taking. Who doesn’t want to remember more of what they learned? Who doesn’t want to do better at work or school?

Don’t let the fear of overwhelming information stop you from taking notes that will stick. Become more productive today. Click “Add to Cart” now!

The Orcadian File

About The Orcadian File

Stephen “Monty” Montgomery is a lonely city-based lawyer; who, despite being skilled in legal debate, is nowhere near to being offered a partnership by his firm. Out of the blue, a spiritless Monty is faced with compelling evidence of an age-old supernatural struggle between celestial entities and their arcane human disciples, forcing him to rapidly adjust his beliefs.

Finding himself called upon to represent ex-police officer Christopher Forsyth, a somewhat languorous Monty soon realises that has become neck deep in a bizarre supernatural conflict. Forsyth had previously been involved in a deniable investigation into an alleged paedophile ring among the establishment, which resulted in his commanding officer being gunned down in the street. Since then, Monty’s new client has been railroaded out of the police and now finds himself in their custody on a trumped-up murder charge.

Monty has to deal with the early court diets, source and build a team of junior and senior counsels to lead the charge against a faceless and politically ambitious conspiracy. One which is quite prepared to destroy anything that gets in its way, requiring the defence team to commit every gram of their abilities to saving Forsyth. What Monty hasn’t reckoned upon however, is being brought face to face with an immortal enemy – one more diabolical, cunning, and dangerous than any human conspirator.

Martone revives his haunting Kertamen tale with this compelling and astute thriller, which is full of moral complexity and legal intrigue. Told with ceaseless imagination through a sharp and intense narrative, The Orcadian File effortlessly meanders between ancient and contemporary judicial mischief.

So you can finally stop accommodating others and start being okay with being you.
