Turtle Soup Is Enough: Laughing and Biking When Everything Falls Apart by Margaret O'Connor

Did you know that the fluid in your spinal cord is the same color as lemonade? I sat and watched it drip from my little brother's limp body into a medical bag on his bedside, as one of his surgeons told us the news that nearly shredded my faith to chaff. "This kid will never walk again." These essays were written during the worst year of my life. I wrote them for one of my college classes, answering various prompts on the theme of place. I didn't know at the time that I was chronicling a fight for my existence. My family and faith have never been about fitting in. We don’t believe in God because of what they say at church. We see him in the mud that cakes our jeans and the laughter we share around the campfire, drinking beer and listening to the grisly stories our dad brings home from the ER. Our faith in God has never been about propriety; it’s been about relationship. How can you reconcile that kind of faith when it seems like God stands by as your whole world falls apart? When my faith went up in flames, I found truth like I never had before. Sometimes God shatters you to shatter the lies you didn't know you believed, and there's nothing left to do but buck up and face what's right. Faith is tested, hope victorious, and valuable lessons are learned along the way in this raw, wildly funny and inappropriate memoir. (CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO BUY)

There's only one problem: High school may be going great, but something's seriously wrong with Justin's family. Mysterious events have been occurring at Justin's house, and all signs point to extraterrestrial contact. Or so he thinks... Determined to get to the bottom of his family's strange behavior, Justin enlists the help of his best friend and soon-to-be girlfriend. (He hopes.) What begins as a simple search for answers will soon turn into something darker and more terrifying than the three of them could ever imagine. (CLICK IMAGE TO BUY)

The Mysterious Happenings on Hyde Avenue: The Lair of the Incubus by Jason Yachanin

There's nowhere to hide. In this heart-pounding, irreverent sequel to The Mysterious Happenings at 2 Morningview, high schooler Justin, his two best friends, and a cast of unforgettable offbeat characters desperately try to defeat a horrific supernatural being, close the portal to its demonic world, and save Justin's family from eternal damnation. "Jason Yachanin's The Mysterious Happenings At 2 Morningview, and sequel, The Mysterious Happenings On Hyde Avenue: The Lair of the Incubus, were both so entertaining I didn't want to put them down once I started reading! If you are a fan of the supernatural, 90s nostalgia, and comedic mysteries, then I highly recommend Yachanin's work. Did someone say a future TROMA film?" – Lloyd Kaufman, President of TROMA Entertainment, Creator of The Toxic Avenger "Yachanin authentically captured the nostalgia of the 90s in his first novel, and this sequel is even more thrilling and charming, taking the reader on a brand new and darker thrill-ride. A must read for any horror fan. We have a talented new author with a very promising career ahead. He deserves your attention." – Aaron Reid and Ben Allen, A&B Horror Movies (CLICK IMAGE TO BUY)

The Evolution of Human Motivations: An AI-Illustrated Odyssey by John V. Wylie MD

This is, perhaps, the first serious book for a general audience to be illustrated by AI. The capacity of AI to clearly illustrate complex ideas with breathtaking detail and beauty is truly remarkable. Each paragraph of the text was used as a unique prompt, guiding the advanced AI systems (Chat GPT-4 and DALL-E-3) to serve as my “science illustrator in earth tones.” This creative endeavor has been influenced by my perspective as a visual thinker but is firmly rooted in scientific literature. It embodies my ideas about the relevance of mental illness to human evolution, ideas that have evolved over 50 years of contemplation. As a seasoned psychiatrist, I offer a unique perspective on the origins of our deepest motivations. Join me on a visually phantasmagorical journey backed up by mainstream science tracing our motivational roots from the earliest social interactions of our primate ancestors, through the crucial developments of our hominin forebears, to the complex emotional landscape of modern Homo sapiens.

NEW BOOK ALERT!!

The Old Testament prophets had prophesied and fore-shadowed the coming of Christ, beginning with Moses and ending with John the Baptist. Through their utterances and dramatizations, they served to reveal the Messiah through what is known as Old Testament Typology. The prophecy was ultimately fulfilled by the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, giving birth to the church in Acts. Old Testament typology played its part perfectly and redemption was fulfilled at last! (CLICK THE IMAGE TO BUY)

Why Always Me? by Omoruyi Uwuigiaren

There was trouble. Tom was at the heart of everything. When it involved the police, things did start to spiral out of control. You don't need to know everything. You only need to know enough. He had to work late again even though it was Christmas Eve. But now, at last, the hammer had fallen on him! As soon as he was indoors, Tom sank into his favorite chair. After a time, he sat up and drew his rickety table. The little man lit up the room and his face looked pale in the lamplight. He took the letter out of his pocket. He lowered his bifocals. He glanced above them at the letter and a deep melancholy settled over his spirit. The company had sacked Tom and it was a bitter pill to swallow. "WHY ALWAYS ME?" he banged the table.

For the hen to survive, the boy must be brave. The meal had become a thorn in the flesh. The snake writhes from one end of the cage to another. The snake tried to bite the hen. The hen clucked and jumped out of the cage. The snake managed to crawl out of the cage through the way it came. With the eggs causing disturbance, it could not move fast. It managed to crawl to the side of the fence and hid behind a sheet of zinc. That was how far it could go. CLICK THE IMAGE TO BUY

In his dreams, he’s drawn into another world where past, present, and future are all happening at once.

Where the Lilacs Bloom Once Again: Friddie’s story

Friddie, 18, is an ordinary yet rebellious young Jewish woman, living in Bucharest in the 1930s. Born and raised in Romania’s capital, she dreams of living as a “free Romanian woman.” After calling off her wedding to a young, parentally-approved accountant, she escapes to a city on the coast, where she meets a scientist-perfumer named Freddy. He is the true love she has been looking for—and a ticket to her dream. Soon, though, that dream turns into a nightmare she never could have predicted.

In this tragic-heroic novel, the true stories, the victims, and the small moments of happiness are revealed in the Danube’s labor camps, under the fascist-dictatorial and communist rule that has been a part of Romania for so many years. Based on the true experiences of a Jewish Romanian family, Where the Lilacs Bloom Once Againunearths stories that could so easily be lost to the passage of time. This family’s tale has emerged at a critical time, to show the need for compassion and kindness, even in the hardest moments.

The Hope Raisers: How a Group of Young Kenyans Fought to Transform Their Slum and Inspire...

The poignant and inspiring true story of three young Kenyans who fought to transform their slum and improve the lives of those around them. Korogocho is one of Kenya’s darkest slums, plagued by gang violence, food and water shortages, and rampant pollution. Most children have no future except for scavenging through trash piles or resorting to lives of crime. One day, a boy named Daniel Onyango decided to do more, creating a band called the Hope Raisers to inspire the kids of Korogocho. His friend, Mutura Kuria, quickly joined in. In The Hope Raisers: How a Group of Young Kenyans Fought to Transform Their Slum and Inspire a Community, Nihar Suthar tells the amazing story of how Daniel and Mutura turned the band into a platform for change. They started teaching children on the streets how to express themselves through art and established a skating team after finding a pair of rollerblades in the dump. Suthar closely follows the story of one rebellious girl, Lucy Achieng, who refused to get married off at a young age and instead used competitive rollerblading to reach for her dreams. Lucy continues to inspire girls to stand up for themselves and challenge the longstanding practices in Korogocho of early marriage and prostitution. The Hope Raisers is an eye-opening look into a world of poverty and violence where children receive only a basic education and are left with little to no means to get out. Yet it also reveals the remarkable impact that a few determined individuals can have on their community, even in the most challenging of conditions. Part of the proceeds from all book sales will be donated to the Hope Raisers and toward improving the slum of Korogocho.

When Henry learns the circus has arrived in his Bronzeville neighborhood, he sneaks away in the night, hoping to find a brief escape from his troubles. With a world of distractions all around him, he finally feels free. But the circus paints a bright facade over a dark past, and the freer he feels, the more bound he becomes. He needs to break away.

Beyond the Father : Book 1 (gods on Trial: The Series™) Kindle Edition

“Beyond the Father” sets the scene for the 8-book Sci-Fi Epic “gods on Trial: The Series™,” delving into life’s determination to transcend all limitation. Set on the planet Xżyber, citizens of the Sub-Median Region, imperfectly reborn into metal, oppress those who are organic. Elsewhere, in the Central Kingdom, religion supports royalty’s brutal domination of the lowest class. War over scarce resources is coming, revolution within each region is brewing, and none know of the eccentric god who created them. This being watches, has fascinating conversations with his often-wiser companion, occasionally learns, and rarely intervenes. The many levels and threads of struggle distract nearly all from a far greater threat. Meanwhile, the young Prince Anglid’s vision quest into the unexplored Area X may ultimately change everything. However, just when you think you know the direction of the story, the author has yet another surprise.

First Assignment

CIA analyst Alex Everett wasn't expecting to uncover the compelling facts he stumbled upon during a covert assignment. But he quickly learned that his superiors weren't expecting it either-they had assigned Alex to lead the investigation into the triple murder because he had little field experience. And they counted on that inexperience to keep him from uncovering what really happened. With his CIA bosses' access to the most sophisticated technology in the world, Alex attempts to hide his discoveries from them. He struggles to fit the pieces together-a tortured Marine in the Middle East, an egotistical conservative U.S. president, a senator with a dirty little secret, enormous amounts of laundered money, and the CIA stalking one of their most experienced agents. The more Alex uncovers, the more certain he is who is ultimately responsible, but clear incriminating evidence is elusive. The twists and turns in this espionage and politically liberal thriller will keep you guessing until the surprising, final twist.

YOU MAD? BAKE CAKE! BY JOY ISI BEWAJI

When a woman’s vagina is dragged into an argument, it is the easiest way to silence her. Women hide behind the shame that comes from slutty slurs. Slut-shaming is a woman’s burden, it is her affliction, and it is designed to destroy her. Slut-shaming is sensationalism at the expense of truth. It thrives because the results are instant – the woman withers. The job is done. Once again, a woman has been put in her place. Society claps at the job well done. If you look in the crowd, you’ll see women cheering on, blending in with misogyny. And sometimes, the accuser is a woman – with a labia too. A woman like the Cake Girl who hates her own body.

Frank was already automatically arching his back to try and escape the agony, and a scream was rising from his throat before the killers left hand clamped over his mouth to choke it off." There is a killer stalking Claytown, brutally and savagely attacking his victims. Will the police be able to stop him, and will the mysterious blogger with the psychological insights help or hinder the investigation?

Auxiliary: London 2039

The silicon revolution left Dremmler behind but a good detective is never obsolete. London is quiet in 2039—thanks to the machines. People stay indoors, communicating through high-tech glasses and gorging on simulated reality while 3D printers and scuttling robots cater to their every whim. Mammoth corporations wage war for dominance in a world where human augmentation blurs the line between flesh and steel. And at the center of it all lurks The Imagination Machine: the hyper-advanced, omnipresent AI that drives our cars, flies our planes, cooks our food, and plans our lives. Servile, patient, tireless … TIM has everything humanity requires. Everything except a soul. Through this silicon jungle prowls Carl Dremmler, police detective—one of the few professions better suited to meat than machine. His latest case: a grisly murder seemingly perpetrated by the victim’s boyfriend. Dremmler’s boss wants a quick end to the case, but the tech-wary detective can’t help but believe the accused’s bizarre story: that his robotic arm committed the heinous crime, not him. An advanced prosthetic, controlled by a chip in his skull.

Las' Las' ..It means "eventually", "Eventually what?" You may ask.Eventually, all will be well."How?"We are not sure. "When?"Nobody knows.

The Ravine By Robert Pascuzzi

Are you ready to explore your own views on faith, hope, forgiveness and the afterlife? On a weekday morning in a peaceful suburb of Akron, Ohio, the town awakens to discover that Rachel Turner and her son, Evan, have been brutally murdered during the night. A short while later, Danny Turner is found in his car at the bottom of a ravine, after having taken his own life. Any explanation as to why a loving father and husband would suddenly commit a series of such heinous crimes has gone to the grave with the accused. The mystery only deepens as the details of the murders emerge, and evidence of premeditation as well as Danny’s hidden past are revealed. Through Joanna Larson, a fascinating woman who possesses extraordinary spiritual gifts, the truth about the events that took place the night of the murders is unveiled. Inspired by true events, *The Ravine* is a story of faith, forgiveness, and most of all, the restoration of hope- even for the most seemingly unredeemable among us.

Satander: Rambling on Borrowed Time by David Ellison

A unique memoir/travelogue/reflection-on-life, Santander features poignant short stories that, like pieces of a puzzle, create a captivating whole exploring themes of personal growth, adventure, justice, wonder, disillusionment, and ultimately gratitude. Although Santander recounts a teacher’s wild exploits and perceptive musings, it appeals to anyone who has raised or taught children, who’s traveled the world of countries and ideas (or who’d like to live vicariously though someone who has); anyone who’s struggled to find compassion for oneself and others; who, in the words of Robert Frost, “had a lover’s quarrel with the world” and tried to make a difference. Santander pays homage to living an authentic life.

Charley, his guardian angel, says no to that idea, and comes up with a different plan. He’ll give Gabe self-confidence so he can solve his problems, not run away from them. But Gabe wonders why the angel doesn’t just help with the bullies. What’s with this self-confidence stuff? Can Charley help Gabe stand on his own two feet? Will Gabe give up hope life can improve for him? Or will he finally listen to the angel’s advice?

THE RED CASKET

Ruby in the Sky by Jeanne Zulick Ferruolo

Twelve-year-old Ruby Moon Hayes does not want her new classmates to ask about her father. She does not want them to know her mother has been arrested. And she definitely does not want to make any friends. Ruby just wants to stay as silent and invisible as a new moon in the frozen sky. She and her mother won’t be staying long in Vermont anyway, and then things can go back to the way they were before everything went wrong. But keeping to herself isn’t easy when Ahmad Saleem, a Syrian refugee, decides he’s her new best friend. Or when she meets “the Bird Lady,” a recluse named Abigail who lives in a ramshackle shed near Ruby’s house. Before long Ahmad and Abigail have become Ruby’s friends―and she realizes there is more to their stories than everyone knows. As ugly rumors begin to swirl around the people Ruby loves, she must make a choice: break her silence, or risk losing everything that’s come to mean so much to her. Ruby in the Sky is a story of the walls we hide behind, and the magic that can happen when we’re brave enough to break free.
