About The Rising (Supernaturals Book 1)
Ethan is just an ordinary teenage boy—infatuated with sports music and, of course, girls. Or so he thinks. Heading home on a rainy night from an amateur guitar gig, he finds his life turned completely upside down—literally. His car spins and flips out of control after what he believes to be a small animal jumps out in front of him. The horrific accident is only the beginning of a series of mysterious and seemingly unrelated events that will change his life forever.
After awaking in the hospital, and following an encounter with an enigmatic doctor, Ethan discovers that something that occurred during the wreck allows him to hear others’ thoughts, and even more perplexing, move objects with his mind. While trying to wrap his head around this mystery, he realizes he’s not alone. There are others out there with special powers. Not long after learning of this new world, Ethan’s ever increasing lack of control places those around him at serious risk. In order to protect those he loves, he makes the difficult decision to leave and accepts an offer to attend specialized training along with other so called Supernaturals to gain command over his newfound gifts. Shortly after beginning his schooling, Ethan is sent on a mission to kidnap who he believes to be the enemy leader in a well concealed Supernaturals war. But the further he becomes embedded in this new world, the more he discovers things are not quite what they seem and doesn’t know who can be trusted.
In this first installment of the Supernaturals series, Ethan discovers that super powers aren’t always so super, and is faced with difficult decisions that will not only affect his own life, but which may determine the life or death of his newfound companions and mentor.

About Firestorm (Smoke & Ashes #1)
Having no soul definitely has its perks.
After all, I can kill as many magical beasts as I want and not have to worry about the blood on my hands. But no matter how hard I try to run, I can never escape where I came from: the pits of Hell.
Now, Hell’s elite have a job for me, a job I can’t refuse. A nocturnal witch is on the loose, and those are never up to anything good. She’s hiding in my city, so they’ve decided I’m the best person for the job—together with Lexar Dagon’an.
He is Hell’s very own Golden Boy, my archnemesis, and he’s sexy as the sins he makes me want to commit when I look at him. Like murder, obviously.
Working with him was never really my intention, but the more we find out about the witch, the more I realize that I need him. Ugh.
Can the two of us bring down a foe of apocalyptic proportions before we kill each other—or do something far worse?

About The Bar Kokhba Revolt: A Captivating Guide to the Third Jewish–Roman War and Its Impact on Ancient Rome and Jewish History by Captivating History
Have you ever wondered how the Jewish people became a nation of diaspora, living for centuries without a homeland? Learn the answer to this question in our book about the Bar Kokhba Revolt, the last great Jewish uprising against Rome!
Take a journey through the ancient history of the Jewish people, a proud and stubborn people who desired to retain their freedom and uniqueness. They fought for this ideal for centuries with various success, but then came the mighty Roman Empire. At first, the Romans were their allies, but they eventually conquered the Jewish state into their vast realm.
However, the Jewish yearning for liberty wasn’t easily extinguished, and they began rebelling against their new overlord. Even after two failed attempts, their spirits weren’t broken. Thus came Simon bar Kokhba, a charismatic and capable leader who organized the Jewish forces and prepared for what turned out to be the final reckoning in a clash between two civilizations.
For roughly four years, the war waged on, with the ragtag and untrained Jewish fighters taking on the full might of the Roman legions. It was a harsh and bloody campaign for both sides, yet in the end, the Romans proved stronger than the rebels, quelling the Jewish resistance once and for all.
The reprisal and high losses finally tamed the Jews, who begrudgingly accepted their fate as Roman subjects. However, in the process, they altered their nation and religion, transforming into the people of the Jewish diaspora.
Here are some of the captivating details you’ll find in this book:
• What the base tenants of ancient Judaism were and how it formed
• How the Roman-Jewish relations evolved through the centuries
• What sparked the Jewish desire to fight against the Romans
• How the rebel forces prepared for their uprising
• Who exactly was Simon bar Kokhba and how he led the revolt
• What the Roman response was to the uprising
• The tactics and strategies used by both sides in the war
• How far the rebel state managed to expand
• The extent of Roman reprisals and punishments
• The effects the Bar Kokhba Revolt had on Jews and Judaism

About EMPOWER YOUR CHILDREN Teach kids to ask meaningful questions, recognize bias, and stand up for themselves
This book will help you discover a practical solution to overcome and counter many of today’s issues. After implementing the recommended action plan, your life and the lives of those you care about will be better.
Do you wonder how the woke/cancel culture got such a grip on so many people?
• How could it be that reaction to the current failures at nearly all levels of government – uninformed individuals making political choices based on incomplete models and almost nobody bothered to ask critical questions about the statistics or model makers, or the agendas and history of the so-called experts?
• How could it be that the citizens across the globe are willing to sit by and quietly comply with arbitrary rules and regulations that are in clear conflict with long accepted standards of personal liberty and equitable treatment?
• How can the community at large overcome the influence of the liberal bias that has been taught in the colleges and universities and has since been pulled down into the classrooms in high schools? What is missing in the education process that might improve the decision-making process on social policy and generate vigorous debate, not violent street protests?
The book traces the decline in public education from the Anti-Vietnam War protests of the 60s, the federal takeover of the oversight of K-12 public schools, generational changes in the knowledge of history and decision-making skills, and the evolution of revolutionary groups and the impact they have had on university programs that have filtered down to the K-12 level.
