Seminole Rain: You don't choose destiny. It chooses you. by D. James Benton (5 Reviews)    Price verified one minute ago

Ballad of Oski-Ahessi: Two lovers meet and join their hearts; that is how this story starts. Ships set sail from distant ports; pursuing wealth of endless sorts. Seeking life for royal courts; but leaving death by all reports. Into a land in need of rain; one was born who would know pain. Oski-Ahessi what's in a name? Friend of fauna, friend of rain. Trees and grass spring forth again; she would die but not in vain. Love of silver and of gold; thirst for riches wealth untold. Endless youth and never old; could anyone be so bold? Should one survive yet be so cold; or for another's life be sold? Driven onward by their greed; obsession's grasp cannot be freed. Lust the poison's only seed; blood the vine must we feed. Life for life can any need? In the end where will this lead? Cruel men with distant ties; spreading death and countless lies. At their hand the gentle dies; angry shouts above the cries. Her soul the grave will not despise; and with the eagle will arise. The sword leaves a bloody trail; robbing life from the frail. As the hawk upon the quail; man takes life against the pale. Hate is strong in deep travail; in the end love will prevail. One life ended with a gun; riches sought and treasure won. In truth the tale has just begun; heaven's plan no man outrun. And so the two again are one; and destiny will be done.

Saturnastra: Ahi: Book 1 by Teresita Blanco (1 Review)    Price verified one minute ago

Preface This is the third book in the series. It is also the only one to have two parts. I could have it all in the same book. Still, it felt like it might make a really fat book. It is for this reason I divided the book in half. Originally, the book Ahi was going to end after 55,000 words. I then decided to keep going with it. The book Ahi is one of the strangest I have ever written. The book focuses on my little Ahi. His main mission is to do nothing. He is just supposed to sit and wait to be called upon. However, the mundane problems of Saturnastra has yet to require the attention of a being as powerful as Ahi. Since he has nothing better to do, Ahi just mainly does whatever he wants. This book takes place in a couple of more regions. His adventures and misadventures even take him to other Continents, and even to other worlds. When I say worlds, I do not refer to planets. Just a different type of place. A place that is between this, that and the rest. I also expand a bit on the lore, and the origin of Ahi and all his brothers and sisters. His parents also make a bit of a cameo appearance. Mainly, the entire bulk of this book is about dragons, and dragon based economy. Humans tend to treat them as a type of commodity, that only those with lots of gold can afford. Just owning one is enough to raise one's cool factor in the Kingdom. This and many other humorous things will be enjoyed in the book. IntroductionThe narration style I used in this book is pretty unique. At least in literature, I have never ran into anything like it. The book is told from the perspective of a film crew that is making a documentary about Ahi. The main issue is that Ahi does not process thought in a way that can be made sense of. In order to chronicle his life, the Wicked Sophie's film crew was tasked with stalking Ahi and recording everything he does an says. This is easier said than done. Ahi is a dragon. He was a dragon before he came to the world of Saturnastra. He only changed a bit ...

The novel skillfully weaves together the two timelines, immersing readers in the vibrant energy of Los Angeles and its gritty underbelly. With suspense, introspection, and dark humor, In Extremis explores the depths of human nature, the search for meaning, and the unexpected paths one may take. What critics are saying: "Libraries and readers seeking a feel of Kerouac's classic 'On the Road', but in a more contemporary romp through California culture, its arts community, and the endeavors of a young man struggling with his potential for success and failure, will find In Extremis builds upon the previous story, but requires no prior familiarity in order to prove a stand-alone winner... In Extremis offers a vivid portrait of change that will delight all ages." - D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review "An exceptional exploration of human connection set against the brutal competitiveness of the entertainment industry. Jack and all who move in his sphere, each of the diverse array of characters, and their own aspirations and moral quandaries, play out in fully fleshed-out recollections." - Asher Syed, Readers' Favorite "Jack's lingering trauma is effectively framed, and his romantic, introspective nature poignantly contrasts with Hollywood's shallow glitz and glamor."

Don’t Call Me Names by Pam Prouty Hall (2 Reviews)    Price verified one minute ago

Pamela Sue and Friends would like to thank you for your purchase of "Don't Call Me Names." This book was written for children ages 4 to 8 years old. Like all of our children's stories, this is an educational tool to be used with your children in an interactive way. Studies have shown that name calling, labeling our children and using sarcasm in a harsh manner, is not productive and can cause a child to have poor self-esteem and serious damage to their confidence. This adorable book was written to show your child in a healthy manner, that our words do have power and that friendships should build us up, not tear us down. For example, labeling a child as obese, fat, having a low IQ and so forth is not helpful. No matter what our challenges are, children can grow up to be successful and true champions. Writing this book reminded me of all the labels I was given as a child and how this impacted my life in a negative manner. Later, I read a study in college about how they took two groups of children with the same intelligence. One group was treated as brilliant students and the other group with the same exact intellect, was treated as if they were slow readers with a low IQ. They discovered in this study, that the children who were treated as gifted, excelled and the other group did not. The self-fulfilling prophesy being played out indicated how a child is treated does effect their life. This study was a valuable lesson to me to speak words of affection, admiration and positive words into everyone's life. Words can build a child up or destroy their little souls. Children are a true gift from God, so lets speak golden nuggets of love, kindness and gratitude into their lives. Then our precious little champions will grow up someday to be amazing men and women.

Indie Reader Review With all the hallmarks of a Martin Amis novel, this is a smart, elegant, pleasant read about smart and elegant people doing unpleasant things. Fascinated with the personal will to power, Levin populates this riveting, ugly novel with high-flyers concerned only with how to get what they want and with scant regard for the human wreckage left in their wakes as they do so. Nor do the parallels with Amis end with the novel's characters. Levin has a deep and abiding interest in transatlantic culture, moving with ease from America to the United Kingdom. And, like Amis, his principal interest is in that milieu as it was lived in the dwindling years of the twentieth century -- a time, as he notes, without IMs and Twitter. There is lots of sex -- though Levin has the good sense not to get too agricultural in his descriptions -- and much playing of hardball, both by the betrayers and the betrayed. Samuel, who resists for only so long an illicit dalliance with a woman he meets through an ad in the long-running London satirical magazine Private Eye (Levin knows exactly how this works; the ad is word-perfect), is the archetype of a person who married young before working out exactly what they wanted from life. His wife Janie is (at the outset, in any case) also an object of sympathy. Not averse to her own ...

Tradition and Innovation: Reflections on Politics by Tuck Newport (3 Reviews)    Price verified one minute ago

Individual members of life forms as diverse as dogs, fish and bacteria all display distinctive individual behavior patterns (i.e., "personalities"). These have evolved to maximize the odds that some members of a species will survive regardless of what happens around them. Behavior conducive to survival and reproduction in one situation often fails in another. Hence the need in every population group for a wide spectrum of behavior patterns. These variations recur, embodied in different individuals, generation after generation. The same evolutionary imperative produces the human behavioral diversity that maximizes our odds of survival as a species. Understanding political behavior, as distinct from engaging in partisanship, requires viewing politics with an eye not only for conflicting interests but also for conflicting values that are rooted in different human personality types. "Tradition and Innovation" examines the persistent conflicts generated by natural human variation and considers their role in our cultural evolution from pre-history to the present.

Sweet and Savory Canning Recipes: A Complete Cookbook of Tasty Preserved Foods! by Thomas Kelly (16 Reviews)    Price verified 12 minutes ago

Are you looking for a healthier way to feed you and your family? Are you tired of paying high prices for processed food that is hard on your waistline and your wallet alike? Canning is not a new idea. People have used the process to preserve food for many years. This cookbook shows you what is likely the most reliable way to preserve foods, in boiling water. It has less of a spoilage risk than other methods. Ever since the first jars were available, with screw-on lids, canning has become a popular way for people to prepare foods in innovative ways and preserve them until they are needed. The method is simple - you will fill clean jars with prepared foods and apply the lid and ring. The filled jars are submerged in boiling water, and then, when removed, any air left in those jars escapes, and the lid is pulled down when the oxygen escapes. This creates the airtight seal that means the foods will be tasty and healthy when you open and use them. The lids include an embedded sealing compound that helps to maintain the seal. Food production in recent years has become very industrialized. Canning isn't a necessity anymore, but it does provide a healthy alternative to prepared foods. Some people are concerned about the safety of industrial food, and you have more control over what is in your food when you can it yourself. At first, the process may seem daunting, but it's not that hard - try it!
