About The Butcher’s Bride by Alice T. Boone

𝑳𝒆𝒔𝒍𝒊𝒆
It wasn’t a lie.
Your father’s debt had nothing to do with me, but when Malachi demanded blood, I couldn’t let you be slaughtered. You need to believe that claiming you was the only way I could save you. These beasts will never have their fill, and the only thing that could keep you safe was the name I built.
Montreal will know you as the Butcher’s Bride. Your father’s debt will be erased, your family will be safe, and eventually, you’ll realize that I did what I had to.
You have to, Gwen
Because I can’t spend a life without you.

𝑮𝒘𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒍𝒚𝒏
How could you do this to me?
After everything I told you, after everything I shared, how could you still lie to me? You made me believe you were different. You gave me the hope of a new life, and then you stole it all away.
My father had no right to trade me away, but I expected it from him. To know you were so willing to buy me, so willing to trade me, so willing to treat me like I was nothing? How was I supposed to expect that, Leslie?
I left this life behind two years ago, and not even the Butcher will drag me back.

The Waterstreet Button Factory

About The Waterstreet Button Factory

This horror novella follows the journey’s of four individuals throughout their residency at The Waterstreet Button Factory. Read along as they face typical life struggles as well as the factory’s terror:

“The Waterstreet Button Factory, constructed in 1897 with a concrete base and four stories of solid bricks. Within its walls labored many Irish and German immigrants over the years, as well as housed the city’s heroin addicts. Yes, this building has seen it all. The Great Flood of 1924 which submerged just over one story of the factory, leaving buttons dispersed and scattered across a six-block radius. It saw the longest recorded power outage for the city, to date.

After being vacated in the 1960s, due to a declining economy, the open floor plan was divided in hopes of being used for an indoor farmer’s market. The renovations, however, were never completed after a City Councilman embezzled millions of dollars in tax-payer money through the project, and supposedly fled to Mexico before the arrest warrant was issued. The dividers from the failed project were not a complete waste, as they were used nearly four decades later when the property was converted into industrial apartments.

Now, within the factory’s walls in Apartment 41, is a woman in her late-twenties who has found herself calling this place home. Twinkling lights now encase the original steel windows. The windows were beautiful. Their enormous size and thin windows provide substantial lighting during the warmer months, but poor insulation during the colder ones. Penny hadn’t gotten to experience that yet. She has only resided in the housing for three months. The fall nights had her dreading the upcoming season. The low temperatures combined with insufficient indoor heating would prove less of an inconvenience and more of a nightmare. Unfortunately, that would not be the only nightmare Penny would face during her stay at The Waterstreet Button Factory.”

Critical Thinking & Logic Mastery – 3 Books In 1: How To Make Smarter Decisions, Conquer Logical Fallacies And Sharpen Your Thinking

About Critical Thinking & Logic Mastery – 3 Books In 1: How To Make Smarter Decisions, Conquer Logical Fallacies And Sharpen Your Thinking

What skill can be more important than your college degree? According to 93% of CEOs, THIS skill, which also keeps self-doubt, wrong decisions, and beliefs at bay.

We’re talking about a basic skill that isn’t so basic – critical thinking.

Everyone thinks they have it, but most people are anxious, unhappy, doubt their decisions, and aren’t where they want to be in life.

Why do people smoke, drink to excess, and eat things they know are bad for them?

How come intelligent people wind up believing fake news stories?

Why do employers judge candidates on the first impression they make, even though they know it’s wrong and often misleading?

Poor reasoning, inability to tell facts from fiction, and flawed decision-making cause these kinds of fallacies.

A Nature.com study in 2015, “First results from psychology’s largest reproducibility test,” examined over 100 psychology studies to see if they could be reproduced.
Researchers found that only a third of the studies could be replicated. The other two-thirds had been skewed by errors or unconscious biases and couldn’t be trusted.

One of the reasons most of us fall short in thinking critically is that our educational system doesn’t teach critical thinking. They’re the reason most people never live up to their potential.

So, if you feel like you don’t have the right diploma or the right skill set to succeed at what you do, don’t worry.

You might be stunned by how many false biases you’re already carrying around. They bleed into your professional and personal life.

2. Conquer Logical Fallacies: 28 Nuggets Of Knowledge To Nurture Your Reasoning Skills
3. The Habit Of Critical Thinking: Powerful Routines To Change Your Mind And Sharpen Your Thinking

Here’s just a fraction of what you’ll discover inside:
– The critical thinking framework developed by two of the most experienced critical thinking scientists of all time and how to make it your own
– The 8 critical thinking characteristics you already have, but you’re not using at their full potential
– How to identify fake news and misinformation – learn this, and you’ll have a MASSIVE leg up on almost everyone around you right now

The Crypto Pursuit: Pursuing A Stolen Dark Net Fortune

About The Crypto Pursuit: Pursuing A Stolen Dark Net Fortune

As bitcoin’s meteoric rise minted millionaires overnight, one stolen fortune is pursued with a bloody passion.

After robbing a dark net marketplace for over $2.5 million worth of bitcoin in 2014, Aaron Aldridge sees an opportunity to uplift his family from poverty. He cashes out on part of the crypto hoard and then saves the rest by transcribing the wallet’s private key onto his favorite vinyl record in invisible ink.

Yet when the operator of the site retaliates, Aaron races home to find his mother killed and the FBI awaiting to arrest him for an unrelated crime. Sent off to federal prison, the record ultimately disappears, no one knowing it’s true value.

Trying to process the consequences of his greed while in prison, he almost forgets about the record until a surge of interest pushes bitcoin’s value to a record high, skyrocketing the wallet’s value above $100 million. Determined to do something positive with the money, Aaron is released from prison and embarks on a pursuit for the record—yet he’s far from alone.

Don’t You Dare

About Don’t You Dare

He’s a playboy like no other…
The crown prince of New York City’s real estate industry. A pompous jerk who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and a camera in his face.
All of which makes him absolutely perfect.
Not for me, obviously, but for something much more important—to save the online fashion magazine I’m the editor of.
It’s too bad I can’t get within a mile of the guy.
Until I can.
Well, I can’t, but my best friend can and she’s willing to sneak me into her photo shoot so I can take my shot.
Honestly, I don’t have much hope. I’m no makeup artist and he pegs me as an imposter immediately.
As it turns out, however, I’m not the only one who needs something.
I might need a model with clout for the fashion show that could save my job, but hot stuff needs a little help too.
A lot, actually. He needs a fiancée, and he introduces me as her without warning.
As if I had a choice?
However, it’s only one date, and if I don’t do it, the magazine is as good as dead.
So, yes. Yes, of course, I’ll fake it with him for one night.
What could possibly go wrong?

I Like You, I Love Her

About I Like You, I Love Her

Severin

It feels like I’ve been in love with Bryan Winthrop my entire life.
Before he kissed me in front of the entire school.
As he danced with her the night of our senior prom.
After his younger brother, Ben, made me smile through my tears.

“It’ll never work with him. He will never leave her…”

It’s been more than ten years since I let myself fall
for the boy whose heart wasn’t mine.
And the Prom King’s lips are finally mine to kiss.

“When I came back here I wasn’t expecting to see you,
and when I did, I felt this tumble…”

But he’s still keeping me in the shadows.
As his younger brother breaks me open in the day.

Ben

You shouldn’t covet whom your brother desires.
Our pastor father would say he taught me better than that.
But I knew over ten years ago my brother didn’t deserve her.
And nothing’s changed since she came back into both our lives.

“You think what you felt for my brother back then was love,
but what I felt can’t be the same?”

I’m still the one who makes her laugh—
the one who challenges her.
And he’s still the one treating her like a dirty little secret.

“You really are a watercolor, Severin Thompson. I can read you…”

You shouldn’t covet whom your brother desires.
This summer, I’ll remind him of that.

Foundations of Psychokinesis, The Essential Knowledge by M.G. Hawking

About Foundations of Psychokinesis, The Essential Knowledge by M.G. Hawking

Free on Amazon January 8th thru January 10th. Psychokinesis refers to the utilization of consciousness in a manner enabling a person to influence a physical system without direct physical interaction, a capacity increasing recognized in the academic and scientific communities as part of the field of human ability.
This book contains comprehensive accounts of explorer M.G. Hawking’s experiences and conversations with the extraordinary sages and masters he encountered in the Himalayas, providing detailed narratives of their demonstrations of psychokinetic powers and in-depth descriptions of the esoteric knowledge that enables the attainment of such exceptional abilities.
5-Star Reviews: “Exceptionally well written and beneficial. Some of the most valuable meditation techniques and visualizations have been found within the pages of these books created by Wisdom Masters Press. Thoroughly delightful to read and extremely beneficial.” —Frank C. “Starts with an examination of quantum physics to lay the groundwork that psychokinesis is not just plausible, but well founded in the structure of the universe. Continues with very interesting anecdotes of the author’s own observations of the phenomenon while traveling in the Himalayas, and those masters’ teachings concerning how to manifest ‘super worldly’ powers just like them.” —Wade W. “I have read a lot of books on metaphysics and spirituality in the last 15 years and this is on the best on this subject! A marvelous piece of work!” —D.
Although widely acknowledged in India, Nepal, Tibet and various Himalayan areas of Asia, psychokinetic abilities have in the Western World been largely disregarded by the general population. However, in the scientific community the perception is very different. For example, the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research program, which operates under the aegis of Princeton University’s School of Engineering and Applied Science, pursues an agenda of studying the interaction of human consciousness with sensitive physical devices, systems, and processes, and developing complementary theoretical models to enable a better understanding of the role of consciousness in the establishment of physical reality.
Results of the Princeton experimental studies, along with many similar research projects, both in the U.S. and abroad, have established psychokinesis as operating at both the macroscopic level (using large-scale apparatus) and at the atomic level (using computerized random number generators). Although the test subjects in general do not believe that they can actually influence outcomes, and have no real idea of how to focus their consciousness to influence the outcomes, over thousands of experimental runs the results have been far beyond chance expectation, demonstrating that subjects can influence outcomes that deviate significantly from the statistical norm, often by a factor of several billion-to-one. For those familiar with quantum physics, these results come as no surprise.
The knowledge and practices presented in this book arise directly from the teachings of profoundly enlightened individuals. If studied with patience and fully integrated into your core belief system, these teachings can lay the foundation necessary to enable you to acquire abilities that most people would say are unbelievable or even impossible. Yet nothing explained in this volume is supernatural or supernormal or beyond the ability of a properly equipped individual. These abilities are not miracles. Quite the contrary. They do not require any capacities that are not inherent in the human species as a whole, if those capacities are properly recognized and developed.
As entertaining as it is enlightening, this is an incomparable book for anyone seeking enlarged knowledge and personal power. 2020 Edition, includes Reference Citations and an extensive Supplemental Material Section, e-reader page count 304 (estimated, actual count varies depending on the reading device used). A Kindle Unlimited Book. For more information, please see the ‘Look Inside’ feature on the book’s Amazon page. Thank you.

Bethany Chiller By Steven Deighan

About Bethany Chiller By Steven Deighan

FREE on Kindle Unlimited!!

The life of a young woman turns upside down when demonic forces control her, and a trail of fatalities begins in her name. Can she get to grips with what is happening before Heaven tells her it’s too late?

It’s like a Carrie meets The Exorcist roller coaster ride….

“This is not a pleasant story…”

Intelligent, beautiful; 16-yearr-old Bethany Childs is now officially a young woman with her whole life ahead of her. But, that innocence is savagely taken away on the night of her birthday, and a part of her won’t let it go.

Under the wing of an age-old demon – who facilitates Bethany’s revenge by imbuing the girl with supernatural powers – Bethany reveals her story in a ‘no-nonsense’ fashion, apologizing not for her torment nor asking for sympathy, but pleading for an understanding of the demonic forces she employs, and the fatalities that ensue in her wake.

“It is not the future I saw for myself…” If Bethany is to believe in herself once again, and renounce Hell’s brutal, iniquitous ways, she will need to open her eyes and heart to a world that will never be the way she remembers. Only then can there be salvation in her name.

October Mourning

About October Mourning

In the midst of a World War, the true enemy was unseen. It came with a handshake or a breath and it left behind 40 million dead.

In October 1918, World War I was winding down, but the world had yet to face the deadliest killer known. Spanish Flu would devastate the world. In Cumberland, Maryland, Dr. Alan Keener, a young doctor fresh from medical school, suspects the flu has reached Allegany County. He wants to take steps to prevent its spread, but he is met with resistance from old-school doctors who believe that the flu’s deadliness is overblown and easily treated. They soon learn differently as the flu begins to spread throughout the county. No one is safe from its effects.

A street preacher named Kolas aids the flu’s spread. During the delirium caused with his own bout with the flu, he believes he was anointed as the wrath of God and must spread to the flu to bring God’s retribution on the world.

As Alan races along with other doctors trying to find some vaccine that works, he must deal with overwhelming sickness in the county. Nearly half of the residents have the flu and many are dying. Nurses and doctors are already in short supply because many are serving in the war. It becomes a critical shortage now as many fall sick with the flu themselves and those left have a workload that would be overwhelming even if there had been no shortage.

The fight becomes personal for Alan as his daughter and then his wife fall victim to the flu. Can he find a treatment to keep them alive or will they become one of the millions who are dying?

The Grump’s Girl Friday by Sofia T Summers

I needed to be only what he had hired me to be.
His assistant.

Not his savior.
Not his girlfriend.
And definitely not the mother of his child.

And yet… there I was.

Eric was a total nightmare.
Much older than me, rich AF, refused to settle down.
Despite his mother threatening to deny him his inheritance.
He didn’t care about things that didn’t serve him.
And for that, I hated him.
But I pretended to be his perfect employee.
Surely, I could beat him at his own game.

Coffee? He would have it right on time.
A new contract? I would land it for him.
But pregnancy? That was not what I hoped for.

It could backfire everything.
Cost me my job.
My heart.
Basically, my entire life.
But somehow, somewhere…
Mr. Grump made the destruction sound all worth it.
