About Battlefield of the Mind (Stories)

A science-fiction short story collection taking you to the front lines of human conflict—within our own minds.

In “The Stranger in the Snow,” an amnesiac finds sanctuary in a mute woman’s cabin while tortured by visions of what may be his past life.

The third story, “Brain Drain” is a whimsical tale of a young junkyard collector having an existential crisis. “When They Come, They Will Be Many” is a slipstream story about a guilt-ridden fighter pilot fending off mysterious flying creatures attacking London. Lastly, “The Rapture” looks at the collective insanity of mass purges through the eyes of a 13 year old girl.

Twinge

About Twinge

As a child, Andrew ‘Andyman’ Alewine was tormented by a mysterious shadow boy who lingers just outside his vision, his hands dripping with a dark fluid that Andrew knew wasn’t mud. But his nightmares were nothing compared to the terror unleashed when the shadow moved into his waking world.

As an adult, Andrew’s nightmares drive him to become a horror novelist, but with a special skill. When people leave items on a table, Andrew feels a twinge when he touches the object, a sensation that leads him on a trail to the owner. His ability is viewed as a parlor trick until someone leaves behind an object that leads Andrew to a dead body.

When the police investigate, they discover Andrew’s novels mirror gruesome murders stretching from coast to coast. Andrew must now fend off police suspicions that he is a person of interest in the killings, complicating his drive to find the killer, even if it’s a dark entity from his nightmares.

Strategic Financial Planning Forecasting & Budgeting For Optimal Performance

About Strategic Financial Planning Forecasting & Budgeting For Optimal Performance

This Book will cover the foundational ideas of forecasting and budgeting from a financial standpoint, giving you the knowledge and abilities to make wise financial decisions based on future estimates.

We use prior financial accounts as a starting point for forecasting and budgeting in order to be as accurate as possible. The balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows are just a few of the statements that offer useful perceptions into past performance. From there, we take into account numerous modifications and elements that can have an influence, such as upcoming projects and modifications to the economy and business environment.

We use a methodical approach to create our budgets, using sales predictions as the basis for all other projections. The production schedule, capital and cash budgets, and the planned income statement are the next steps. Our major performance statement, which directs our financial decision-making, is the budgeted income statement.

Crave by Kat Kinney

About Crave by Kat Kinney

Lacey Blair had no idea about the existence of vampires and werewolves until a freak accident left her infected with lycanthropy. As a result of that night, Dallas Caldwell was banished from the pack and Lacey was left to fend for herself in a world of shapeshifters.

Ten years later, she runs the best cupcake shop in the Texas Hill Country, hunts the undead by night, and searches tirelessly for a cure for the blackouts her mother now suffers after having her memory erased by the werewolf council. The one thing she doesn’t have time for? Untangling the feelings still simmering between her and a certain ex turned best friend.

Amanda’s life soon begins to spiral out of control and she finds herself orphaned, kidnapped, and thrust into a terrifying reality.

Now her inherited gift is the very thing she fears most, and even as she fights to keep her shadow magic at bay, she can feel it growing inside her. Plagued by nightmares and haunted by a new vision of Emily, a cryptic accusation may just send her tumbling over the edge. Kiami’s magical abilities have always been nurtured by her guardians, but when she suddenly finds herself abandoned, she becomes desperate to find anyone that’s immune to her song. So when Amanda and her jinn companion seek her out for help, she agrees.As their paths intertwine, the world around them becomes increasingly dangerous.

Egyptian Occultism, Ancient Secrets of Paranormal Powers: From the Great Master Kalika-Khenmetaten, in the Era of Amenhotep III & IV, by M.G. Hawking

About Egyptian Occultism, Ancient Secrets of Paranormal Powers: From the Great Master Kalika-Khenmetaten, in the Era of Amenhotep III & IV, by M.G. Hawking

A Kindle Unlimited book. Explore the secret knowledge of an occult master of the Eighteenth Dynasty and learn the powers that underlie the unparalleled accomplishments of Ancient Egypt. No historical mystery has inspired the depth of fascination as the enigma of Ancient Egypt. Some ten-thousand years ago, as if sprung from the sands, a small stone-age culture abruptly rose to create perhaps the greatest civilization of known history. How was such an incredible feat achieved?
This book explores answers to that mystery through the discovery and translation of an esoteric manuscript, ‘The Golden Crown,’ a creation of the great Egyptian Master Kalika-Khenmetaten, who authored her masterpiece under the patronage of the great Kings Amenhotep III and Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten) over three-thousand-three-hundred years ago. Kalika’s manuscript, examined in detail in this book, clearly reveals the profound power, knowledge, and techniques of a great master of that distant age.
“Experience is the product of the mind—your conscious thoughts and images—propelled into being by feelings; it is also a product of unconscious thoughts and feelings. These together form the reality that you experience. You are therefore not at the mercy of a reality that exists apart from yourself, or is thrust upon you.” —Kalika-Khenmetaten
An incomparable book for anyone on a spiritual path or seeking greater knowledge and personal power. 2023 Edition, for more information, please see the ‘Read sample’ feature on the book’s Amazon page. Thank you.
