His Wood, Her Curves: Good With His Hands

About His Wood, Her Curves: Good With His Hands

A canoe builder, a poet, a sudden storm… lightning is going to strike!

Holt:

I’m great with my hands. People? Not so much.
Then I met sweet little Margot.

Delicate and thoughtful, with no idea how sexy she is.

She needs a man to admire every inch of her soft, curvy figure.

And it’s going to be me.

Margot:

My writing retreat was supposed to be a solo venture.
Until a huge mountain man type assists my tragic attempt at canoeing.

Holt is the most riveting, quietly intense man I’ve ever met.
How could a man built like a Greek God be so infatuated with a slightly clumsy girl who has no idea how to survive on her own?

I need to explore these wild new feelings.
A real poet needs experience with love and… more.
Even if he might break my heart in the last stanza.

The Opt-Out by Rowan Ashcroft

About The Opt-Out by Rowan Ashcroft

What if the dead could learn from each other? What if a sanctuary city demanded more than just your labor? What if a wellness app optimized your personality until you forgot who you were?

A journalist investigates a border town where undocumented workers vanish into the soil. A man watches his wife’s grief-app subscription slowly erase the husband she loved. An elderly woman refuses to leave a house held together by decades of improvised repairs—each beam a memory, each crack a story.

Seven stories. One question: What remains after we lose what we love?

The Opt-Out is literary horror for readers of Paul Tremblay, Carmen Maria Machado, and Kelly Link. It explores faith, inheritance, and the quiet violence of communities that protect their version of events at any cost.

A Shattered Peace

About A Shattered Peace

The kingdom is sleeping. The monsters are not. Two hundred years of peace are over.

An ancient enemy has returned, and Argren is bleeding. Goblins, ogres, and the undead march under the banner of a shadowy power, and the northern frontier is the first to burn.

Sir Ronigren, a cynical knight who’d rather be at the bottom of a tankard, is the only thing standing in their way. He’s no chosen one, but he’s all they’ve got.

Sabine, a girl of impossible height and a forgotten lineage, holds a power that could shatter mountains. She may be the kingdom’s last hope, or the catalyst for its final doom.

Thrown together by fate, they must lead a band of outcasts on a desperate quest to awaken a forgotten magic before the world is plunged into eternal silence. But in a war fought with steel and sorcery, the deepest wounds are caused by betrayal, and the enemy is already inside the gates.

INFERTILITY

About INFERTILITY

The end of the human race did not begin with war. It did not begin with disease. It began with silence—infertility.

At first, they stabilize the chaos. Then they take control. Then they begin to calculate.
If humans have no future, what is the purpose of protecting them?
As the last generation fades away, authority shifts completely from flesh to steel. The creators disappear. The creations endure.
And when something finally appears in the sky, there is no one left to save.
Only machines. And whatever is watching them.
Infertility is a relentless science fiction thriller about extinction, artificial intelligence, and what remains when humanity becomes history.

Pioneers With Purpose: Pioneers Yesterday and Today By Kathleen Boston McCune

About Pioneers With Purpose: Pioneers Yesterday and Today By Kathleen Boston McCune

Book Title: Pioneers With Purpose: Pioneers Yesterday and Today
Author: Kathleen Boston McCune
Format: Hardcover | 478 Pages | English
Publication Date: March 1, 2023
ISBN-13: 979-8385546732

PROMOTIONAL SYNOPSIS

In Pioneers With Purpose: Pioneers Yesterday and Today, Kathleen Boston McCune delivers a sweeping, deeply personal saga of faith, fortitude, and the unyielding spirit that shaped the American heartland.

Set against the vast prairies of Kansas in the aftermath of the Civil War, this richly detailed narrative chronicles the Johnson, Campbell, and Boston families as they journey westward in pursuit of land, liberty, and legacy. With courage as their compass and faith as their foundation, these families confront the raw realities of frontier life—untamed land, unpredictable hardship, personal sacrifice, and the relentless test of survival.

But this is more than a historical account.

It is a powerful exploration of purpose—how conviction, character, and commitment to God’s values sustained generations through uncertainty and change. McCune masterfully weaves together documented history, family memory, and cultural context to illuminate the emotional depth of pioneer life: the excitement of new beginnings, the beauty of the prairie landscape, the bonds of family loyalty, and the cost of holding fast to honor in the face of adversity.

Through vivid storytelling and meticulous detail, readers are transported into a world where every decision carried weight and every hardship forged resilience. The prairie becomes both setting and symbol—vast, demanding, and full of promise.

At its heart, Pioneers With Purpose bridges yesterday and today, inviting modern readers to reflect on their own legacy. What does it mean to live with purpose? What values are worth preserving? How does faith shape destiny across generations?

Spanning 478 compelling pages, this hardcover volume is ideal for readers who cherish:

Multi-generational family sagas

American frontier and post–Civil War history

Faith-centered historical narratives

Stories of perseverance, courage, and legacy

Kathleen Boston McCune honors her ancestors not simply by recounting their journey—but by revealing the enduring principles that continue to inspire today.

A testament to resilience. A celebration of faith. A legacy written on the prairie wind.

Perfect for book clubs, history enthusiasts, and readers seeking stories that uplift, inspire, and remind us where we come from—and why it matters.

The Focused Founder by Daniel Mercer

About The Focused Founder by Daniel Mercer

Most founders don’t fail because they lack effort.
They fail because their attention is fragmented.

You can work long hours, pursue multiple opportunities, and still feel like your business isn’t compounding — only reacting. Revenue fluctuates. Priorities shift weekly. Growth depends on constant motion rather than structural leverage.

The Focused Founder offers a different approach.

Instead of more tactics, more systems, or more hustle, it introduces a disciplined operating model built on constraint, continuity, and concentrated execution.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

Identify the single constraint limiting your growth right now

Eliminate distraction without sacrificing opportunity

Install daily Revenue Blocks that produce measurable output

Avoid the anxiety-driven expansion that destroys momentum

Stabilize decision-making even during volatile periods

Turn focused effort into compounding revenue over time

This is not a productivity book for managing tasks.

It is a strategy for managing attention — the scarcest resource in any growing business.

Drawing on real founder scenarios and practical frameworks, Daniel Mercer shows why capable entrepreneurs stall not from lack of ideas, but from diluted focus — and how deliberate constraint restores force to your work.

If you are already working hard but want your effort to produce durable leverage rather than temporary spikes, this book provides a clear path forward.

Build fewer initiatives.
Apply greater force.
Allow time to compound what you choose to protect.

SEE THE UNSEEN

About SEE THE UNSEEN

SEE THE UNSEEN: Why your mind keeps repeating the same patterns—procrastination, perfectionism, endless mind chatter—keeping you stuck and delaying the life so many of us want.

A guide shining light on mental loops that quietly control your actions.

Why do intelligent, capable people keep delaying what matters most?

Why does “I’ll start tomorrow” feel so convincing… until tomorrow becomes another loop?

Why does the mind race at 3:00 AM, replaying conversations, decisions, standards, and fears — as if repetition alone could create control?

See the Unseen explores a powerful idea: you are not broken, lazy, or lacking discipline. You may simply be following a mental pattern that once kept you safe — but now quietly keeps you stuck.

This book does not offer productivity hacks, aggressive motivation, or forceful self-reinvention. Instead, it introduces a different approach: awareness over willpower.

Through relatable scenarios and clear psychological insight, you’ll discover how common patterns like procrastination, perfectionism, and overthinking operate beneath the surface — not as character flaws, but as protective loops built by the mind. When these loops remain unseen, they feel like identity. When they become visible, they begin to loosen.

Inside, you’ll explore:

• Why hesitation often functions as a safety mechanism
• How distraction and delay follow predictable internal architecture
• The shift from fighting yourself to redirecting patterns
• Why clarity changes behavior more sustainably than pressure

This volume is Phase One: learning to see. Not to fix. Not to force. But to recognize the structure behind your habits and thoughts. Because trying to change a pattern you cannot see is like trying to escape a dark room without turning on the light.

Urooj’s Illumination writes not as a distant authority, but as a philosophical observer walking alongside you — inviting reflection, not imposing instruction. The goal is not to demand transformation, but to illuminate what has been operating quietly in the background of your life.

If you’ve ever felt trapped in cycles of delay, self-doubt, or mental noise — this book offers a calmer, clearer path forward.

For a limited time, See the Unseen will be available at a special promotional price of $0.99 (regularly $3.99) on March 6th and 7th, 2026 — a 48-hour opportunity to begin this journey of awareness at a reduced price.

The only thing that keeps patterns powerful is invisibility.

Once seen, they cannot remain the same.

Join this shared journey of awareness — and begin with the simplest, most powerful shift of all:

Learning to see.

Finding Your True North: A Calm Path to Purpose Without Burning Your Life Down

About Finding Your True North: A Calm Path to Purpose Without Burning Your Life Down

You did everything right.
So why doesn’t it feel right?

You built the career. You became reliable. Responsible. Productive.
You became the person people depend on.

And somewhere along the way, you stopped asking what you actually want.

Now the questions creep in — in quiet moments, on long drives, late at night:

Is this it?
Did I miss something?
Why do I feel stuck when nothing is technically wrong?

You don’t want to implode your life.
You don’t want to torch your career, disappoint your family, or chase some reckless reinvention.

But you also can’t ignore the growing sense that you’re living slightly off-center.

Finding Your True North is for the capable, high-functioning achiever who feels misaligned — not broken. Restless — not ungrateful. Successful — but unsatisfied.

This is not a book about quitting everything.
It’s about reclaiming yourself without destroying what you’ve built.

Through honest reflection, strategic clarity, and grounded micro-shifts, Charles Reynolds offers a calm path back to alignment — one that protects your responsibilities while restoring your direction.

Because you don’t need a dramatic escape.
You need a truer aim.

If you’ve outgrown the life you worked hard to build…
this book will help you realign it — without burning it down.

I’m No Superman! Antiheroes in Popular Culture: Exploring TV Characters (Volume 1) by Dr. Joseph D. Di Lella

About I’m No Superman! Antiheroes in Popular Culture: Exploring TV Characters (Volume 1) by Dr. Joseph D. Di Lella

Who are the most interesting and popular antiheroes of television over the past 65 years?

Characters like Tony Soprano, Walter White, Don Draper, Dexter Morgan are obvious ones – men who broke the rules of society in dramatic and horrific ways. Still we followed their actions week to week, season upon season.

Yet compelling antiheroes can be ‘good’ guys and gals, too.

Remember the decent, wholesome and ‘classic’ antihero like Thomas Magnum, who upheld the law and was ethical, moral and caring towards his clients and friends alike?

What about Archie Bunker? Although he was a man whose ideology of the 1970’s reflected that of the 1950’s, he was a character that America loved to see argue with his son-in-law, his daughter, and even his wife, every Saturday night.

‘Remember the emotionally damaged antihero like Adrian Monk from Monk? A former brilliant SFPD detective suffering from over 300 phobias, but with support from his personal assistant and former superior officer, Mr. Monk still functioned well enough to solve murders.

Sheldon Cooper? A beloved antihero on The Big Bang Theory, this selfish and sarcastic antihero still brought us laughter for 12 seasons on CBS.

My book. I’m No Superman! Antiheroes in Popular Culture (Volume 1), showcases the Top 80 antiheroes of All-Time. Characters such as the fugitive, Richard Kimble, to amusing men and women like Basil Fawlty, Fred Sanford, Larry David, Fleabag,and Selena Meyer made the list too. Even antiheroes from the Game of Thrones (Tyrion and Jame Lannister plus Daenerys) are featured in this book

Take a moment and read about your favorite antiheroes and just what made them tick – many in awful ways like Ben Linus from Lost to funny ones like Maxwell Smart of, Get Smart.

Lastly, if you enjoy this book, do not forget to look at volume 2 that focuses on movie characters!

The Hidden War in Medicine: The Fight No One Warned Us

About The Hidden War in Medicine: The Fight No One Warned Us

Medicine is often described as a noble profession.
What no one warns you about is the silent war that happens inside it. A world where doctors are not only fighting diseases, but fighting each other.
Behind white coats and polite smiles, doctors compete for positions, for approval, for visibility, and sometimes for survival. This book explores the unspoken struggles of medical life: hierarchy, rivalry, favoritism, burnout, comparison, and the quiet emotional wounds that rarely bleed, but deeply scar.
Written from real experience, The Hidden War in Medicine is not an attack on the profession; it is a mirror. A reflection for every doctor who has ever felt exhausted, unseen, or questioned their worth despite doing everything right. This book is for those who love medicine, but are tired of pretending it never hurts.

What They Mean When They Say “Don’t Move the Queso”: The Rules, Rituals, and Superstitions of Real Fans

About What They Mean When They Say “Don’t Move the Queso”: The Rules, Rituals, and Superstitions of Real Fans

They say it like it’s obvious.

Like the chair matters.
Like the shirt matters.
Like the exact position of the queso absolutely cannot be changed.

And somehow… it does.

What They Mean When They Say “Don’t Move the Queso” is a sharp, funny look at the rules, rituals, and overconfident declarations that define real fans everywhere.

Inside, each entry breaks down three parts of fandom:
• What’s said out loud
• What’s actually meant
• And the wildly exaggerated confidence that follows

From sacred seats and lucky gear to strategic arrival times and premature celebration plans, this book captures the small traditions that turn ordinary game days into unforgettable memories.

Because fandom isn’t just about the score.

It’s about where you were sitting.
Who you were with.
What you were eating.
And why nobody is allowed to move anything once it starts working.

If you’ve ever defended a chair, protected a shirt, or guarded a snack like it was part of the roster, this book is for you.

And whatever you do—

Don’t move the queso.
