Discover the origins of a billion-dollar brand that started in London’s Soho and sprang to life in just 45 minutes.

Enjoy the entertaining mishaps and triumphs, from a standing ovation by 40 blue-suited Koreans who secretly hated the author’s idea to the attempt to create a best-seller by adding red food colouring to Chardonnay.

Decline & Fall of Macready’s Club by a gentleman

About Decline & Fall of Macready’s Club by a gentleman

Famous actors, playwrights, judges, and royalty once graced Macready’s Club, an exclusive British gentlemen’s institution steeped in tradition. But behind the grandeur lies an outdated rule that threatens its very existence: women are strictly excluded from membership.

Set in a modern London gentlemen’s club, Decline & Fall of Macready’s Club is a clever feminist farce and witty British satire. The story pits old-world privilege against modern society as Brigit “The Scorpion” strikes fear into the heart of the club’s members. With her relentless campaign for gender equality, Brigit launches a media storm that exposes hypocrisy, power struggles, and the dark comedy of a crumbling elite. From courtroom clashes to sharp social commentary, this novel explores political correctness, anti-woke movements, and the battle between tradition and progress.

Will Macready’s reform before Brigit’s sting delivers the coup de grâce ? Or will this once-great club fall victim to its own privilege and pride? Find out in this unconventional, darkly humorous tale of power, satire, and societal change.

Kalika-Khenmetaten, the Supreme Egyptian Adept: Ancient Secret Knowledge of the Great Female Master by M.G. Hawking

About Kalika-Khenmetaten, the Supreme Egyptian Adept: Ancient Secret Knowledge of the Great Female Master by M.G. Hawking

Explore the profound secrets revealed in an Egyptian manuscript written over 3300 years ago by a supreme master, Kalika-Khenmetaten. Composed under the protection of her patrons, the great Kings Amenhotep III and his successor Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten), Kalika’s manuscript sets forth the essential knowledge and cardinal principals of consciousness necessary to attain extraordinary awareness and abilities.
“Experience is the product of the mind—your conscious thoughts and images—propelled into being by 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 (circa 1368 B.C., ± 17 years)
Fragments of the material revealed in this book have through the centuries appeared in the more elevated Eastern philosophies and esoteric wisdom traditions of various cultures. In modern times, splinters of this knowledge have resurfaced in various formats, although unfortunately absent both the most fundamental elements as well as the most advanced components of the wisdom system of the supreme masters.
Attaining the ability to purposefully manifest whatever persons, circumstances and events you desire to experience in your life cannot be truly achieved through simplistic concepts of “positive thinking” or some alleged “secret,” as so many people have learned. Kalika’s manuscript, The Golden Crown, is to some extent a manual, a comprehensive guide to reaching higher awareness, written by a supreme master for masters, but not only for masters. Kalika intended that it could be utilized by persons of requisite ability to reach, through their own efforts, significantly expanded levels of awareness. It sets forth the foundational recognitions and essential principles of consciousness necessary to enable and master extraordinary creative powers.
An unprecedented account that is inspirational, thought provoking, and richly enlightening, this book will resonate in your heart and mind long after the last words have been read. 2023 Edition, e-reader page count 364 (estimated, count varies with reading device). A Kindle Unlimited Book. For more information, please see the ‘Read sample’ feature on the book’s Amazon page. Thank you.

When Mar Meyer’s husband divorces her for another woman, she reacts by abandoning everything in her past: her home, her friends, even her name. Though it’s not easy to start over, Mar is young-looking, fit, and ready for new adventures – as long as she can keep things casual.

The Liar’s Crown

About The Liar’s Crown

Snow White meets Beauty & the Beast in this upper YA fantasy trilogy about twin sisters—one born to rule, and one kept hidden…until she sacrifices her life to protect her sister. But when a Shadowraith kidnaps the wrong girl, the unexpected draw between them becomes the most dangerous secret of all.

Fans of Sarah J. Maas and Leigh Bardugo will be blown away by the first in this epic upper YA romantasy series, which is sure to take the YA reading community by storm!

Everything about my life is a lie. As a hidden twin princess, born second, I have only one purpose—to sacrifice my life for my sister if death comes for her. I’ve been living under the guise of a poor, obscure girl of no standing, slipping into the palace and into the role of the true princess when danger is present.

Now the queen is dead and the ageless King Eidolon has sent my sister a gift—an eerily familiar gift—and a proposal to wed. I don’t trust him, so I do what I was born to do and secretly take her place on the eve of the coronation. Which is why, when a figure made of shadow kidnaps the new queen, he gets me by mistake.

As I try to escape, all the lies start to unravel. And not just my lies. The Shadowraith who took me has secrets of his own. He struggles to contain the shadows he wields—other faces, identities that threaten my very life.

Winter is at the walls. Darkness is looming. And the only way to save my sister and our dominion is to kill Eidolon…and the Shadowraith who has stolen my heart.

Armored Hours

About Armored Hours

Cable Girls meets Peaky Blinders meets Titanic

The girls had forged a bond together like iron that could not be broken. Claudia, Kiersten, Lina, and Florian were on the brink of making history with their powerful feminist movement, but then they suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Alexander was a desperate bootlegger who was willing to risk it all to search for them. Not only were they in cahoots with him to help smuggle feminist contraband and forbidden booze, but Claudia had also unknowingly captivated his heart. He vowed to find them at any cost, but little did he know that their disappearance was part of a much bigger and sinister plot from the upper echelons of society.

Set in 1920s Paris of the Plains, Armored Hours is a thrilling tale of love and mystery interwoven with hints of magical realism.

​

“Hansen does a great job with the pacing too, delivering intricate subplots of romance, political intrigue, and rebellion, and then gradually revealing a deeper, more sinister conspiracy, keeping readers on edge with suspense and emotional depth from cover to cover.” ~ 5-star review by Readers’ Favorite
