Presidential Spirit: 

The True Story of an Airman Who Soared Above His Circumstances and the Woman Who Was the Wind Beneath His Wings 

by Gina S Scheff 

Gina has no intention of marrying again following a disastrous divorce. She wants to focus on raising her son and building a career, not falling in love. 

But then she meets a spirited airman named David Scheff and everything changes. It doesn’t take long for him to convince her that marrying her soul mate might be a good idea after all.

A member of the Air Force, David eventually becomes the flight chief for Air Force One, giving Gina the opportunity to shake hands with presidents William Jefferson Clinton and George W. Bush. 

It’s a great adventure! 

Still, once David retires from the military, they’re ready to enjoy a quieter life on a small farm in Ohio.

Life has a way of throwing you off-course, though, and when David is diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer, Gina learns the true meaning of standing by her husband not only in health but in sickness too.

 As Gina struggles to not fall apart as they face one devastating letdown after another, David shows her how to have grace under pressure and that you don’t need actual wings or even a plane to fly above your circumstances.

David always knew he had the spirit of an eagle. This story tells how Gina discovered just how right he was.

Why Are Dumb People Richer Than You?: How the Foolish, Dim, Dumb-Ass Have Built Empires by Laban T. M’mbololo Esq.

 Why Are Dumb People Richer Than You?

How the Foolish, Dim, Dumb-Ass Have Built Empires 

by Laban T. M’mbololo Esq.

Worldly decisions by those wielding power to set rules make things happen the way they do and can’t even sometimes guarantee the desired results yet they are inevitable. 

We are not residing in the best of times as things are spiraling out of control around the world and if different decisions had been made the world would peradventure been a better place. 

Be that as it may, we need to question whether decisions made by the rich and powerful follow sound reasoning. Only by doing this is when we can enforce remedial action from governments, corporations and international organizations.

Without our intervention, we will always be victims of those who possess greater abilities to make decisions and who tell us things happen the way they do and that nothing can be done about them however unjust and unpleasant they may seem. “Why are Dumb People RICHER than You?,” is more than an introductory economics textbook, a lot easier, accessible to non-specialist readers and will give you deep insights on how to confront these issues and highlights how the world works and how it can be made to work better. 

Unless we comprehend this, we will not be able to champion for our own interests, let alone doing the common good as active economic citizens and what some Dumb people have been doing to IMPROVE their fortunes that far surpasses actions of the quick-witted.

“For light exists only with darkness, and darkness can’t be without light.”

This is the path to light and darkness.
Only you can choose where it leads you.
And remember;
light and darkness exist together.

One can’t be without the other.

Two different things, eternally tied together,
forever destined to coexist.

Shadow-Stained (Stones of Power Book 1) by Rachel Hobbs

 

Shadow-Stained 

(Stones of Power Book 1) 

by Rachel Hobbs 

For her, it’s her late grandma’s legacy. For him, the mother of all black arts spoils, granting one demon the power of a God. 

Immortality.  

When occult-magnet Ruby falls victim to Demon Lord Drayvex’s viperous allure, she loses a sentient dark relic to his light fingers and appetite for power. Like calls to like. But when Drayvex himself loses the relic to a traitor to the throne, Ruby coerces him – the tyrant king with a soft spot for humanity – into helping her save her pokey old world village from becoming a ground zero of mass demonic carnage.  

Both invested in reclaiming the relic, the one thing Ruby and Drayvex agree on is that it’s in the wrong hands. Co-existing in a precarious arrangement between predator and prey, to save the planet they both love for different reasons, they must become a formidable double-team in the face of an apocalyptic takeover. 

Now, the fate of both human and demon alike rests with a killer that walks between worlds, and a woman with a curse in her bloodline.

Broken Twigs: Farewell to Faerie Forest by Charlotte Taylor

 Broken Twigs: 

Farewell to Faerie Forest by Charlotte Taylor

Farewell to Faerie Forest introduces a magical world where diligent fairies perform their duties so that the faerie realm has everything it needs each season. 

Queen Iris rules with kind benevolence over the hard-working fairies, with all doing their fair share of work ‒ all, that is, except Twigs. Stubborn and temperamental, Twigs hates working. 

As soon as the fairies begin their daily chores, Twigs disappears and spends her days getting into mischief. It’s clear why she has no friends, nor does she want any. 

Into this world on a summer’s day comes chaos and a disturbing malevolence. Twigs makes a terrible misjudgment and endangers the other fairies and their home. 

Everything she takes for granted is stripped from her, and she finds herself far from Faerie Forest, alone, and in danger. All she wants is to return home, but evil, a dark secret from her past, and her own mistakes stand in her way.

The Stars in Our Eyes: The Famous, the Infamous, and Why We Care Way Too Much About Them by Julie Klam

 The Stars in Our Eyes: 

The Famous, the Infamous, and Why We Care Way Too Much About Them 

by Julie Klam 

From bestselling author Julie Klam comes a lively and engaging exploration of celebrity: why celebrities fascinate us, what it means to be famous today, and why celebrities are so important.

“When I was young I was convinced celebrities could save me,” Julie Klam admits in The Stars in Our Eyes, her funny and personal exploration of fame and celebrity. As she did for subjects as wide-ranging as dogs, mothers, and friendship, Klam brings her infectious curiosity and crackling wit to the topic of celebrity. 

As she admits, “I’ve always been enamored with celebrities,” be they movie stars, baseball players, TV actors, and now Internet sensations. “They are the us we want to be.” Celebrities today have a global presence and can be, Klam writes, “some girl on Instagram who does nude yoga and has 3.5 million followers and a Korean rapper who posts his videos that are viewed millions of times.”

In The Stars in Our Eyes, Klam examines this phenomenon. She delves deep into what makes someone a celebrity, explains why we care about celebrities more than ever, and uncovers the bargains they make with the public and the burdens they bear to sustain this status. 

The result is an engaging, astute, and eye-opening look into celebrity that reveals the truths about fame as it elucidates why it’s such an important part of life today.

Alligator Blood: The Spectacular Rise and Fall of the High-rolling Whiz-kid who Controlled Online Poker's Billions by James Leighton

 Alligator Blood: 

The Spectacular Rise and Fall of the High-rolling Whiz-kid who Controlled Online Poker's Billions 

by James Leighton  

Daniel Tzvetkoff was just another Brisbane teenager working for peanuts at Pizza Hut and spending much of his spare time glued to his computer. When he worked out a new method of payment processing, the online poker companies came running to him for help so they could grow their businesses. 

Soon he was living the American dream, raking in $3 million a week and revelling in a jet-set lifestyle of fast cars, luxury yachts and VIP nightclubs. His epic rollercoaster ride mirrored the extraordinary world of online poker, where hot-shot college students won millions from the confines of their dorms, and fortunes were won and lost.

However, Tzvetkoff's move to the bright lights of Las Vegas would soon see him facing the abyss. Owing millions to the poker companies, and with the FBI hot on his trail, the boy wonder needed to pull an ace from his sleeve to keep from busting out. And when he did, it resulted in a day that sent shockwaves through the world of online poker - and saw him take the blame.

A Horror Anthology 

by Gemma Amor, Sarah Read, S.H. Cooper, Hailey Piper, Sara Tantlinger, J Danielle Dorn, Eve Harms & Sonora Taylor  

Once upon a time, there was a woman, and she was tired. Tired of pushing. Tired of being pushed. Tired of feeling alone. Tired of so much.

So she gathered together a pack of wolves, a band of mothers, sisters, wives, daughters, partners, friends, lovers, survivors, victors and brilliant, shining things, and she told them to sing.

And sing they did.

The result is WE ARE WOLVES, a chorus of of terrifying, moving and heart-breaking stories from some of horror’s finest contemporary writers including Gemma Amor, Laurel Hightower, Cina Pelayo, Sarah Read, Hailey Piper, V Castro, Sara Tantlinger, Sonora Taylor and many more.

All proceeds from the sale of this charity anthology will go towards helping the survivors of abuse and assault.

“The bravest book you'll read all year. Harrowing, yes, but necessarily so. As empowering as it is powerful. Not only does the book benefit a crucial cause, the stories are extraordinary, written by more than a dozen paramount voices in horror. Sometimes a book illuminates as it entertains; WE ARE WOLVES is that rare find.”

A Matter of Facts: One Man's Journey into the Nation's Quiz Obsession by Shaun Williamson

A Matter of Facts: 

One Man's Journey into the Nation's Quiz Obsession 

by Shaun Williamson 

A journey into the obsessive world of quizzing. Includes stories from Shaun's past such as tales from his time playing Barry in Eastenders; the discovery of a long-lost son; hiding from an angry Mike Reid in a broom cupboard; acting with Ricky Gervais and David Bowie, and the loss of his boyhood friend in 9/11.

Actor and celebrity quizzer Shaun Williamson lifts the lid on a National drug that everyone hooked on: quizzing. A Matter of Facts is a personal journey into the world of quizzes. 

At the start Shaun enters the World Quiz Grand Prix, pitching his knowledge against the Nation's finest minds, including Eggheads and Chasers... he fails. 

Unperturbed, he sets out to improve his skills through memory training, practice and even hypnosis in an attempt to move himself up the rankings of the quizzing elite. Shaun's adventure sees him get his old quizzing 'band' back together to see if he can triumph in the leagues. 

As he does so, he meets many characters and experiences the wonderful vagaries of the pub quiz - discovering its place, not just in communities, but in people's lives. 

He also reminisces about his life before acting as an alcoholic postman, a stalled naval career, a Pontins blue coat and his journey to becoming Barry in EastEnders.

Over the course of year Shaun aims to end his journey at a victorious return to the Grand Prix... can his experiences and new-found knowledge end in victory?

A Matter of Facts is a fun, fascinating and heart-warming read that will be adored by those who enjoy a regular meeting of alcohol and trivia.
