VICTORY OUTSIDE THE ARENA by Bill Burke

About VICTORY OUTSIDE THE ARENA by Bill Burke

Former athletes all know what it’s like to face the end of their time inside the arena. They can recall in vivid detail the last time they took the uniform off and more importantly, the feelings that came with that. They can also recall the feeling of uncertainty that came with trying to navigate the months and years after their career ended. Without the daily competition, routine and camaraderie, life looked a lot different. Some athletes handle the transition smoothly, while many others struggle mightily to figure out who they are without their identity as an athlete. Then, if and when they do get their feet under them, they wonder if they are truly reaching their full potential in life. Through my own experiences and the conversations I’ve had over the years, this is a problem that doesn’t get discussed nearly enough. And while there is more awareness now, countless athletes continue to suffer in silence.

The Belt of Chaos: A Teen and Young Adult Fantasy Mystery Adventure Novel

About The Belt of Chaos: A Teen and Young Adult Fantasy Mystery Adventure Novel

Trapped in a kingdom untouched by time, a lost teen must transform into a fearless leader, racing against fate to rescue the prince and her family, or else confront the heart-wrenching reality of their imminent demise.

Brace yourself for an enthralling fantasy of adventure, romance, resilience, and self-discovery that will tug at the very fabric of your emotions.

Tranquility shatters in the kingdom with the king’s abdication, plunging everything into chaos. Formerly imprisoned dissidents now seek to breach the realm’s boundaries, dragging the prince and the entire kingdom into tumultuous upheaval.

Introverted teen photographer Sasha Ears is abruptly thrust from her struggling life in Boston to the timeless kingdom teetering on the brink. Joined by two strange voyagers, Sasha embarks on a journey through surreal landscapes: a river of exploding popcorn boulders, a crystal labyrinth of mysterious figures, and a castle swarming with armies of dice with tusks—all in her quest for home.

Sasha must summon her strength to lead a race against fate, rescuing the prince and her family while confronting impending doom. Little does she know that the prince has secretly visited her for a decade with a revelation that must remain hidden from the dissidents.

If you yearn for a world teeming with imaginative creatures and landscapes reminiscent of “Spirited Away” by Hayao Miyazaki and “A Darker Shade of Magic” by V. E. Schwab, Sasha’s quest promises enthralling parallels.

The Divorce Upside: Finding You After Losing Him by Kristy Bailey

The Divorce Upside: Finding You After Losing Him by Kristy Bailey

Shift your mindset and start seeing divorce as a gift of self-discovery—even if right now, it feels like your world has been turned upside-down.

There is a reason why traditional stress scales class divorce as one of the biggest challenges human beings can face.

When divorce happens, everything you took as a given—that your kids would live in your home all the time, that you would have a lifetime companion “in sickness and in health,” your financial security—are all called into question.

What’s more, one of the pillars of your identity is being a spouse and parent, and when divorce happens, it can seem like you have no idea which direction to take.

It is so easy to judge yourself as a “failure” when in fact, half of all first marriages end up in divorce, and second and third marriages end at a far higher rate.

Know that the “happy ever after” doesn’t have to involve a prince.

Your story starts within you and you are its protagonist.

Divorce gives you the chance to discover that you—and only you—are responsible for your happiness.

You choose how to interpret life and present yourself to others, and you decide the things you give value to.

You can choose to see villains and victims in your narrative, or be grateful for what you have (and what you had) and decide to build a beautiful, complete, and dynamic life.

Consider this book as a guide, shared by someone who has been through the same rollercoaster of emotions you are going through. It contains vital life lessons and a recipe to stop seeing your divorce as a “failure” and start seeing it as one of the greatest opportunities for growth you will ever receive.

Imagine a world where you’re no longer shackled by the chains of manipulation and emotional turmoil, a realm where the fog of narcissistic abuse dissipates, revealing a clear path to freedom and self-discovery. Breaking Free: Understanding and Leaving a Narcissist is your compass in navigating the complex maze of narcissistic relationships, offering insights, strategies, and hope for those seeking liberation.

By revealing these tactics, Breaking Free prepares you to cut these toxic ties. Strategies for leaving, self-care during the separation process, and the critical role of a support system are mapped out, providing a practical blueprint for escape.

Step-Dad’s Biker Enemy by Kathilee Riley

REVENGE OR LOVE?
She looks so out of place, here on the wrong side of town. Dripping with innocence, her cautious eyes darting everywhere. So vulnerable.
The perfect pawn.
Fifteen years ago, her daddy destroyed my life.
Now, I’m going to return the favor.
It’s only fair to ruin the person he cherishes the most.
So, I’ll stalk. I’ll chase. I’ll claim her. When I’m done, she won’t be Daddy’s perfect little princess anymore. She will be tarnished by the same man she’s forbidden to touch.
She’ll no longer be under his control. No longer pure for that wuss he arranged for her to marry.
If I were him, I’d kiss that wedding goodbye. I’ll ruin her father’s business deal. Thanks to his precious little object, his entire empire is about to fall.
Unexpectedly, so will I.
Too late, I realize she’s not the only one being ruined.
Revenge might not be so sweet, after all.

Roadways to Justice: Reforming the Criminal Justice System

About Roadways to Justice: Reforming the Criminal Justice System

America’s criminal justice system is grappling with multiple issues—police-officer involved deaths and violence; mass incarceration; racial, gender and sexual orientation bias; the death penalty; public corruption; juvenile justice; disparate sentencing; and the ill effects of Three Strikes laws. These and other issues are examined through the lens of the author’s experience as both a career prosecutor and educator of prosecutors. Roadways to Justice tells remarkable stories of selected cases, trials, and, above all else, quests for justice. The book argues that the criminal justice system can be changed, and it offers inspiration, practical solutions and roadmaps for how to reform that system. This volume is ideal for anyone interested in understanding how the criminal justice system really works, and it is an indispensable handbook for the new wave of lawyers, law makers, and others who want to improve it.
