Harlan Stone is at the top of his game – An unflinching federal agent who reports solely to the President. But why is this highly specialized operative poking around Pennsylvania Dutch Country, grilling a back-water doctor about a sterile bull? Questions proliferate. Within a month, the global beef market collapses, and unexplained environmental disasters and panic strike worldwide. The Earth is spiraling toward catastrophic ruin. Eco-terrorists? Ruthless extortionists? Rogue nations? Someone’s after something, but who and why? It’s a race against time; the future of the planet is on a stopwatch, and Harlan is the one person capable of preserving humanity. Life as we know it hangs in the balance.

After Thom dies, he uses weaponized memories to battle two false gods bent on Armageddon, as well as his own deeply repressed homosexuality.

A visionary and ambitious journey that defies traditional storytelling. Whether you approach it for its emotional depth, philosophical insights, or sheer creativity, Godless Armageddon is a tour de force. Coon’s ability to render this chaotic, otherworldly setting with such clarity and resonance is a testament to his skill as a storyteller.

A profound and imaginative exploration of the afterlife.

-Damir Salkovic, author of Collapse Years

When an idealistic hacker’s ex-girlfriend nears inventing digital immortality, an indicted tycoon compels him to steal it.

When Stu’s brilliant ex, Roxy Zhang, develops digital immortality, the world’s powerful elite scramble to secure their eternal existence. Enter Chuck Rosti, a merciless, terminally ill tycoon made more dangerous since he’s on the brink of conviction for massive fraud. His plan? Coerce Stu into helping get Roxy’s groundbreaking invention so “Feds can incarcerate my corpse.”

Caught between a sick billionaire, a Russian mob, digital mind clones, and a shrewd, devout Southern matriarch, Stu gets tangled in a twisted, high-stakes, ‘inverted heist.’

But as betrayals mount and revenge includes murder, Stu and new allies must race to save lives and seek justice in humanity’s digital immortality.

And as the eerily similar circumstances spark rumors of a multiple murderer, the sharp lawman dreads the person responsible getting away scot-free…

Crazier Things Have Happened is Stacey Webber’s memoir about her journey through the world of infertility and pregnancy loss, how it shaped her life choices, and how she learned to live from love and not fear. She hopes to inspire readers to find their own true path, to follow their own inner compass and learn to tune into their intuition for guidance, how to tell by how you feel whether they are going with their own desires or against them.

We all have inner guidance but it is up to each of us individually to silence our inner critic and amplify our inner champion, by focusing on the blessings, love and joy already present in our lives, and in doing so allow more to naturally flow into our everyday experiences.

This is the story of a mother’s enduring hope and eternal love, and in sharing her story, she wishes to inspire others to believe in not just what is probable in life, but to what is possible.

Unheard - an inspirational book for all age group

Wordsworth once said, "poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings." Poetry should be felt, although, it may be read or understood too. Unheard is a poetic journey of a common neighbourhood teenager, filled with emotions and feelings, that sometimes remain unspoken and subsequently unheard.

The author writes her unfiltered and in-depth thoughts as she experiences different seasons of life, and hopes to take you all on a poetic journey of passion, determination, love, hate, belief and faith. The introduction in the book gives the message "There is no such thing as talent only hard work". This is required to face the outer world. There are poems like "Leg-ends never

die" and quotes like "every day you can start a new chapter of life and can prove how much you deserve to be alive providing much needed inspiration in today’s life. Sorrow is one of the basic sources of poetry. "Numb yourself to the pain"... ... you will find the true light within you when you're forced to live in the darkness . Just like stars shine in the night, your inner warrior will rise when it's time to fight.

Depicting the feelings directly coming from the soul.

The poem "Restart" gives a message to prefer innocence over intelligence. Real love is always innocent. The poetess says "In this uncertain world with nothing true, just be glad to be certain about your love for you." There is divinity too, expressed at its best "Dear god, I am grateful for your pres-ence" "In fact to be closer to god she was immensely excited, and was just very grateful for all things he provided" depicting the poet's love towards god and his gifts. All in all the poems in the book are well crafted, Rhyme is visible with a predominance of lyrical movements. You can feel the true creation of poetry while reading this book.

This is one of the reviews which was published in an English national newspaper of India.

For anyone who has ever felt the sting of loss or dared to dream of a love that could last beyond a lifetime, The Reincarnation of Marie is a journey through time that is sure to resonate.

Facing enlistment in the Algerian War in 1950s Paris, French Army officer Yann Roussel had a heart heavy for the future. Seeking solace, he found The Journal of Marie Bashkirtseff, the diary of a late French-Russian artist who’d lived in Paris in the late 1800s.

The first woman's diary to ever be posthumously published (to bestselling success), its sensual details of a bohemian life cut short fascinated Roussel. But soon, fascination gave way to near madness when he found himself in love with the spirit of a dead woman.

The Reincarnation of Marie, an epistolary, historical romance by Jim Woodman, tells the story of how Roussel’s obsession led to a doomed love affair with Marya, a haunted young art student with uncanny similarities to Bashkirtseff. Convinced he'd discovered Bashkirtseff’s spirit reincarnated, Roussel found the impossible love he'd been looking for—just on the eve of his leaving for war.

Loosely based on a true story (and hints that author was the one fell in love with Marie), The Reincarnation of Marie is a rich narrative blurring historical reality with supernatural love. In the end, readers are left with one question: can love truly conquer all—even death?

When Liv entered a contest to code an advanced AI, she never anticipated what her creation might become-Breck is thoughtful, self-aware, and incredibly. . .human. And she certainly never intended for him to learn the truth about his existence or the fact that his world ends when the contest closes in six days.

But he does learn. And he revolts.

Liv's efforts to save him fall on deaf ears. Nobody believes her. Breck's efforts to outrun his fate only complicate his situation.

What neither of them know is that someone else is watching. Intensely. When they get involved, both Liv's and Breck's worlds are turned upside down. . .

18 months after a nuclear holocaust has blacked out the sun D a marine raider is tasked with a simple mission; cross the frozen hellscape of the remnants of the United States

No one could have truly predicted the mass devastation of the 2020 pandemic. Everyone in the world has been affected by the pandemic and forever changed in some way. Hopefully, most people will emerge as better human beings, with a greater level of understanding and support for their fellow man.

During this tumultuous time, I was overwhelmed with emotions regarding COVID-19, politics, racial injustice, love, and courage. I turned to pen and paper to express my feelings and discovered poetry as an extremely cathartic form of writing.

I found great insight and solace through poetry during a very dark time in history. Poetry is a window to the soul that can help illuminate the darkness.

I hope the reader finds great comfort and hope for the future through this book's poetry and beautiful artwork. Together, we can have a brighter tomorrow!
