Pull Me In

About Pull Me In

In the business of matchmaking and can’t find love? That’s me.
It’s always fun to find that special someone for our client, you know, the one they ride off into the sunset with.
But me? I just get burned by the sun, stung by bees, and wind up sea sick from the boat ride.
Unfortunately my twin sister and I made a pact when we were kids regarding this ‘love’ thing.
If we were unmarried at thirty, we’d really go ham on trying to find Mr. Right.
So thirty showed up. Go figure. But my should-be husband is apparently lost in the universe and refuses to stop and ask for directions.
Lucky for me, my firm (the matchmaking one) is going to make me go through the process of finding my forever guy for a documentary that’ll prove we’re legitimate.
I’d rather swim in the sewer, but that wasn’t an option.
The minute I start our ‘dating in the dark’ process, my mind opens to something I’ve never realized.
My best friend, the one that has been there all along, suddenly looked perfect. And hot.
Disturbing for sure. But soooo hot.
Now I’m stuck in the middle. Falling for my blind date and my best friend at the same time.
When it rains it pours. Apparently, men.
I have no clue who I should choose or even how I should do it.
Love has pushed me out for thirty years and now it’s decided to pull me in.
Help?!?!

Appointment in Disappointment

About Appointment in Disappointment

One beauty of life is that it is so sweet, and filled with joy and laughter. However, it is also full of disappointments, failures, and challenges that bring pain and tears and so make life taste bitter, look ugly, and filled with regrets and sorrows.

You can trust and believe people to honor agreements you entered with them, or fulfill their promises to you, and they disappoint you. The outcomes of your desires and choices can turn out contrary to your expectations. You can have a dream, set goals to achieve your dream, make plans to achieve those goals, and allocate resources of money, time, energy, and materials but still fail to achieve your goals due to one disappointment or another. These occurrences can be very frustrating and can lead to loss of confidence, distrust, and hopelessness.

But are disappointments entirely unpleasant, ugly, and bad situations that people shouldn’t experience? Is there no good, beauty, and hope in disappointment? Are there no lessons to learn from disappointments that can make a person better?

For some people, the disappointments and challenges they face can easily become setbacks, stumbling blocks, or obstacles to the success they desire. Such people give up easily and complain that life is unfair to them. For other people, the disappointments they experience can become appointments with success. They understand that disappointments aren’t always negative but could also be positive occurrences that clear the way for a rethink, a replan, and positive actions that will eventually lead to the achievement of success.

As negative and unpleasant as it may sound to your ears, disappointment is a disguised steppingstone on the path to success. So long as you desire and work to achieve success, you will meet the stone of disappointment as you tread the path to your dream and goals.

Despite the anxiety and emotional tension it generates, disappointment does not always happen to mar, weaken, break, disempower, stop, or destroy us. If we always look beyond and beneath the surface and look deeper; if we look beyond the negativity, anxiety, and pain disappointment generates, we would be able to find the message it brings with it, the lessons it teaches us, the direction it tends to lead us, and the beauty, meaning, knowledge, wisdom, insight, power, and hope that lie in it, and which it communicates to us.

This small book was part of a big book meant to be published as both a paperback and an ebook but was split into three books. The other two are Prosperity in Adversity also published as an ebook, and The Beauty and Paradox of Failure published as both an ebook and a paperback book.

This small book critically examines disappointment to identify its nature and causes, as well as the impact it has on our health, well-being, business, career, or vocational lives. It teaches how we can discover the beauty, hope, and positive messages inherent in disappointment so that when we experience it, it will not mar or break us, but mold and make us; it will not make us bitter but better; it won’t stop us but start us, and eventually become our steppingstone to appointment, success, prosperity, and victory.

Prosperity in Adversity

About Prosperity in Adversity

Life is sweet, beautiful, and filled with laughter and joy, but also full of difficulties, adversities, and uncertainties that bring pain, sorrows, and tears, and so make life bitter and ugly. So the life of man is made of two opposites – prosperity and adversity, pleasure and pain, light and darkness, good and evil, and these succeed one another in the course of his journey through life.

A person can be healthy and full of life, and shortly after, the same person is diagnosed with a terminal illness that puts them in a state of hopelessness and depression, shattering their vision, plans, and goals. Someone can set up a promising business venture and one single disaster destroys it and dashes the person’s hopes.

In the year 2020, many people who made wonderful business or personal plans and looked forward to a future filled with beauty and hope had their plans thwarted by covid-19. Natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, or hurricanes can destroy all that took a person several years of diligence, pain, and toil to build.

Someone can lose their job when they need it most for their survival. Someone can put their hope of survival in someone else, and lose them to sudden death. These are adversities that man experiences at one point or another as he makes the journey of life. These situations can be so buffeting and frustrating that no one ever desires to have the first experience of them, let alone a second experience.

Why does adversity happen? Is it an entirely unpleasant, ugly, and bad situation that man should not experience at all? Is there good, positivity, beauty, and hope in adversity? Are there lessons to learn from it? Can adversity be overcome and prosperity attained after it?

As negative and unpleasant as it may sound to your ears, adversity is a path to prosperity and victory. So long as you desire and work to achieve success, you will meet with adversity at one point or another as you tread the path to your goals and dreams. But you must ensure that the adversity you experience or will experience is not brought to you by yourself because of your greed, impudence, or misconduct.

Despite the anxiety and emotional tension it generates and the pain it brings with it, adversity does not always happen to kill, mar, weaken, break, disempower, stop, or destroy. If you form the habit of always looking beyond and beneath the surface to looking deeper into adversity, you will see the prosperity it points you to. If you form the habit of always looking beyond the negativity, anxiety, fear, and pain that adversity brings, you would find the message it brings with it, the lessons it teaches you, the direction it tends to lead you, and the beauty, meaning, knowledge, wisdom, insight, power, and hope that lies in it, and which it communicates to you.

I tell you a truth, no matter how knowledgeable, smart, careful, powerful, learned, educated, intelligent, prayerful, skilled, or wise you are, the path to your dream and success could at one point or another be paved with difficulties, tough times, adversity, obstacles, bumps, stumbling blocks, setbacks, disappointments, or failures that must first be dealt with and overcome if you must succeed. What will be your reaction, response, attitude, or action when you are faced with any of these certainties of life?

This book, Prosperity In Adversity critically and deeply examines adversity to identify its nature, the reason it happens, as well as the impact it has on one’s health, well-being, business, career, or vocational life. It teaches how we can discover the beauty, hope, and positive messages in adversity and the vicissitudes of life so that when we experience it, it will not mar or break us, but shape and make us; it will not make us bitter but better; it will not stop us but start us and eventually become a stepping stone to prosperity and victory.

The Rubber Room Volume 1

About The Rubber Room Volume 1

When it comes to historical fiction books, it is necessary that the set consists of realistic events from the past but be written as fiction. “The Rubber Room” by Ivan Bosanko has an unusual title that has a deep meaning once the reader delves into the story. The plot revolves around a young couple who must deal with the changes in their lives as they enter adulthood and embark on a new adventure. They’ll be put to the test to see if they can stick by each other or if they’ll fall apart. Commitment and faith are a challenge that is difficult to deal with; will they be able to survive?

Aside from the romance and undying love written in the novel, it has some touches of history inserted into some scenes and scenarios. For example, the McCray family’s dinner conversation about the problems in the railroad where the old McCray works is somehow related to the 1950s railroad strike. Aside from that, the novel also features a short discourse on the Korean War that causes a massive turn of events in the story, perfect for the genre of historical fiction.

Ivan Bosanko’s historical fiction “The Rubber Room” will surely give the tension a story needs. Just like its title suggests, it will hold its readers’ interest and curiosity till they finish the book.
