Revolution: 80 Days Kindle Edition by Arius Lauren Raposas

 Revolution: 80 Days

 by Arius Lauren Raposas  



They say a revolution usually took 365 days, but could it be possible in just eighty? British gentleman Phileas Fogg drove the world crazy with his uncanny wager to circumnavigate the globe in eighty days, at the wake of the infamous robbery done against the Bank of England. 

His sensational adventure, however, came to a grim end on his part as he became 20,000 pounds poorer after finishing the journey on the 81st day. The slim loss, meanwhile, did not seem to discourage the populace from proving him right. The following year, 1873, was met with a daring public declaration from two ladies and one gentleman to fulfill the monumental task, this time through an even heftier wager that tripled Fogg’s stakes.
The lone gentleman who stepped up was one of Fogg’s few friends remaining in the Reform Club, the similarly eccentric yet relatively unknown Richard Haze. 

Intent on redeeming his friend’s convictions and taking his own place in history even as his prosperity was placed on the line, Haze decided to acquire the services of a valet who had sufficient experience and knowledge of the other side of the world in order to avoid Fogg’s fate. He found the person in the Filipino migrant worker Juan Ruiz, who beneath his cheerful façade as a valet, and his limited grasp of the English and Spanish languages was a closely held secret – he was the real bank thief.

In this second book of his Building Brands series, Ed Burghard outlines a blueprint for how to 1) discover what makes you unique and 2) leverage your uniqueness for maximum success.

  • What a personal brand really is.
  • The key steps in a successful personal brand journey.
  • How to discover what your unique strengths are.
  • How to articulate your personal brand.
  • How to create a document defining your core beliefs.
  • How to create a personal development plan to leverage your strengths.

If you are an elected official, or aspire to be one, this book also provides advice on how a personal brand can help you make a meaningful and positive impact on the political discourse in the United States.

In the spirit of “walking the talk”, Ed shares his personal brand journey as a practical example to illustrate each step.

Lioness of Punjab by Anita Jari Kharbanda

 Lioness of Punjab 

by Anita Jari Kharbanda 



It is the winter of 1705, and the tenth Guru of the Sikhs is under attack by the armies of the mighty Mughal Emperor, Aurangzeb. Under siege and isolated, Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s men are exhausted beyond measure, and forty soldiers decide to head home. Back in the villages of Punjab, these forty men are met by a fiery Sikh woman—a warrior who has been preparing all her life for this very moment—who leads the deserters back to the Guru. This is the story of that warrior, the fierce Mai Bhago, who chose the sword to symbolize her unwavering loyalty and devotion to her people and her faith.

This energetic coming-of-age young adult novel brings us closer to Mai Bhago—a woman revered in the Sikh community and beyond—to imagine her growing to embrace her many roles in a way that was entirely her own and, in the process, becoming a shining inspiration for young women everywhere.

AREA 51: Project Novella (1 book series) by F.X. Regan

 

AREA 51: 
Project Novella (1 book series) 
by F.X. Regan


Area 51 might be the most secretive government installation in the United States, but that doesn’t make it immune from crime. And when that happens, especially if it involves murder, it requires a special response. Hell, even the Vice President of the United States and Congress aren’t read into what goes on at Area 51, so there is no way the feds can be dispatched to the desert to investigate. That might result in a little publicity and a whole lot of questions.

Enter Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Homicide Detective John “Black Jack” Morrison. A talented investigator when he puts his mind to it, (and stays out of the bottle,) he can’t keep out of the Chief of Investigation’s doghouse. The head of the new Agency that runs Area 51 was a World War II/OSS colleague of the Chief, who sends Black Jack Morrison west to help solve complex murders that happen at Area 51. Unraveling these cases, with no direction or resources, is the only way to redeem himself from his latest cockup, and maybe make it to his pension.

Unfortunately for Black Jack, there is evidence of more than murder that he can’t unsee at Area 51 including UAPs and what happened at Roswell, New Mexico in 1947.

The AREA 51: Project novella series is a collection of noirish police procedurals worthy of the author F.X. Regan’s long experience as a police officer, retired FBI agent, and private investigator with an interest in UFOs, UAPs and Area 51.

El rostro del ángel (Spanish Edition) by Marié Rojas Tamayo

 El rostro del ángel (Spanish Edition) 

by Marié Rojas Tamayo





¿Existen los ángeles? Esa es una pregunta recurrente entre creyentes y escépticos, sobre todo cuando unos y otros han sido sorprendidos, salvados, alertados, socorridos, acunados por una entidad que les ofrece paz y cobija… o, como es el caso de este libro, te intranquiliza, te trastoca todo y te hace dudar de tu propio juicio.

En estos cuarenta y seis cuentos la autora nos presenta entidades cercanas al concepto de ángel en varias culturas y criaturas de toda índole que alternan con los humanos comunes o dotados de poderes. No se asombre si los ve vestidos de Dior o auxiliados por la tecnología para cumplir la difícil misión de cuidar a los humanos, o simplemente ver concediéndole un deseo a un artista famoso.

Hermoso texto que nos devuelve un poco la fe en que alguien nos cuida o en existencia de lo eterno, en el amor, en la belleza, la bondad…

To Catch the Setting Sun by Richard I Levine

 To Catch the Setting Sun 

by Richard I Levine


There’s a killer loose on the island of Oahu. His targets? Young, native-Hawaiian women. But it also appears that he’s targeting and taunting Honolulu police detective Henry Benjamin who knew each victim and whose wife, Maya, had been the first name on that list. 

In addition to battling his personal demons, this New York transplant’s aggressive style didn’t sit well with his laid-back colleagues who viewed Henry’s uncharacteristic lack of progress in the investigation as evidence that fueled ongoing rumors that he could be the killer. 

Was he, or could it have been someone within the municipal hierarchy with a vendetta? As it was, after thirteen years on the job Henry had been disillusioned with paradise. His career choice long killed any fantasy of living in a grass hut on a wind-swept beach, being serenaded by the lazy sounds of the ocean and a slack key guitar. Instead, it had opened his eyes to a Hawaii that tourists will never see.

Poetry of Aloha: A ke ahi A ke aloha by Stephen Carbon

 Poetry of Aloha: A ke ahi A ke aloha 

by Stephen Carbon


A ke Ahi A ke Aloha 


The fire of love burns eternal where the Albatross soar beneath the full moon.

Igniting hearts where Pele's flames of spirit consume.

Hibiscus sway in rhythmic trades through coconut palms in slack key tune.

Crescent waves shimmer of emerald and rolling blue. 

Immerse your soul in my island verse and song.

In nature's touch of lush nobility  passions aspire to belong.


We dance with the immortal force of creation upon sacred waters. 

A ritual of the hearts beat and fever. 

Her fire of love unites the Makai of destiny and rhythm of natural order. 

Like the familiar touch of memory and intuitive understanding. 

We share the blessing of life's celestial artistry and intimate wandering. 

Where the spirit of Aloha envelopes our garden of fruit ever expanding.

The Presence by Philip Meese

 The Presence 

by Philip Meese  





THIS IS HER HOUSE, AND SHE DOESN’T TAKE KINDLY TO GUESTS!

Being a disbeliever in the paranormal, Kate Thorpe has no qualms about accepting the job of live-in manager at Blackmoor Hall; the supposedly-haunted 14th-century mansion in the heart of Lancashire. After moving her family into the house, Kate starts to think of ways she can use the legend of the ghost of Jane Weston, who was burned as a witch in Elizabethan times, to turn Blackmoor Hall into a profitable business.

Shortly after moving in, each member of the family have experiences they cannot explain; doors slamming, electrical appliances tampered with, and Kate’s baby daughter pointing and laughing at seemingly empty spaces. The constant feeling that someone is watching them, particularly in Blackmoor Hall’s seemingly endless corridors, is undeniable; but that’s just the start, and their experiences soon become more terrifying. When a celebrity medium makes contact with the ghost during the filming of a televised show, she reveals that Jane Weston has not only attempted to murder one of her children, but intends to try again, and kill Kate as well.

As events unfold, it becomes clear that an evil ghost is not the only set of eyes watching their every movement within the house – and leads those that are still alive to question whose intentions are more sinister.

The Presence is a British ghost story, set in Lancashire, England, but it is far from your typical haunted-house novel. In addition to an evil spirit with a vendetta against the young family (and seemingly unlimited supernatural powers), another presence inside the house is watching their every move.

The city names are correct and the people in them are very real. I ask that you accept that this is just a story. Often I use females in my writing.
