The Fight InsideAuthor: Lynette Eddy

Genre: Non-Fiction

Free via Kindle Unlimited: Yes

Regular Price: $4.95
Today’s Price: FREE!Click Here for Your Free Copy!Book Description:

After her husband died by suicide in 2010, Lynette Eddy fought through the agonizing grief with one goal: to reclaim her personal strength and joy. This healing journey taught her that, while her husband’s ego voice drove him to despair and self-destruction, there is another voice within us, crying to be heard: the voice of our spirit. By tuning into this positive, life-affirming voice — and by minimizing the negative, destructive voice of the ego — Eddy improved the relationship with herself and released that which caused her psychological suffering and held her back.

By overcoming her own personal struggles and through her experiences as a social worker, Eddy created the Open Heart Mindfulness approach, which will help you discover the sense of freedom and inner peace that comes from silencing fear-based voices and instead listening to the voice of your true self.

In addition to personal transformation, listening to ego or spirit results in consequences at a collective level. With so much going on in the world today, it’s more important than ever to tune into our spirit so we can connect with ourselves both individually and at the community level. Through her experience as a social worker, volunteering, and founding a nationally recognized center for homeless and at-risk youth, Eddy details the steps we can take as a society to overcome the ego and be the change we want to see in the world.

Inside of you are the keys to authenticity, fulfillment, and happiness, as well as the power to resolve even the most complicated existential threats in our society. The Fight Inside will guide you toward a rich, meaningful life . . .

. . . a life you truly deserve.

Constellations for KidsAuthor: Aniela Publications

Genre: Children & Middle Grade

Free via Kindle Unlimited: Yes

Regular Price: $4.99
Today’s Price: $1.99Click Here to Buy!Book Description:

Are you ready to impress your friends & family with amazing knowledge & exciting tales of the constellations?! If so, keep reading…

Have you ever looked up at the night sky & imagined what might be out there? You’re not alone! People have been wondering that for thousands of years.

Technology like telescopes & space shuttles are quite new, so before we could really investigate space, people would make up stories about what they thought was up there. Some people saw heroes & monsters made out of stars & would tell stories about them.

This book is going to tell you all about the wonderful things floating around above your head & teach you how to find some of the planets & special stars from your bedroom window. (It’s exploding with fun pictures to help you visualize them, too.)

It’s also packed with legendary tales about the constellations, like how the constellation of Hercules shows him wrestling the monster Hydra or how Pegasus–a magical flying horse with wings–was the only animal that could carry Zeus’s lightning bolts without getting hurt!

Discovering constellations doesn’t have to be difficult, even if you don’t own a telescope. You can even find them by using your hands!

Try this HANDY (pun fully intended) tip to help you find the stars:

Straighten your arm out in front of you & make your hand into a fist. The distance from your first knuckle (don’t count the thumb) to your fourth knuckle is 10 degrees.Now spread out only your thumb & pinkie finger. The distance from tip to tip is 25 degrees. (If you hold up just your pinkie finger by itself, the width of it is 1 degree.)

This will help you navigate the night sky to find the constellations in this book!

Did You Know:

There are some stars you can see from Canada that will never be seen from Australia!Or that Jupiter, the largest planet, has 80 moons!Or that one day on Venus lasts as long as 6,000 hours! (That means 1 day of school would last over 8 months!)

You’ll discover:

Why the ancient Romans are responsible for our galaxy being named after a chocolate bar!Why your parents might be receiving messages from space when traveling!The incredible trick to see how far apart objects in space are just by using your own hand!The amazing star that the dinosaurs would have been able to see millions of years agoWhy sticking a pencil through an orange can help you visualize how the earth spinsIncredible tales behind the constellations that your friends at school won’t believe!How to master the constellations for any season!The planet that’s not home to aliens—but robots!What the Ancient Egyptians designed their pyramids to point toWhy you should get your camera ready for the year 2061Why the moon’s gravity could be a surfer’s best friend!The best time to see incredible events in the sky!How to see a meteor shower every minuteWhich fruit to shine a flashlight on to help you visualize moon phasesAn in-depth glossary so you can quickly understand the cool words inside

& much more!

From the giant Virgo to the much smaller Corona Borealis, you will discover all the tips & tricks to finding the constellations, as well as some amazing facts that will make you sound like a professional astronomer. There are so many things in space to explore that not even scientists know exactly what is out there. Who knows what they (or you!) will discover in the future?

Archiving a Kindle Book

I am frequently asked if I keep copies of the books I have completed on my Kindle or if I delete them and, if I delete them, why?

The short answer is I delete them, and it’s not to save space on the Kindle. While I am certain it has happened, I do not know of anyone running out of capacity on their Kindles. Of course, each Kindle has a finite amount of storage on it so I am sure someone, somewhere, has run out of capacity. I would imagine if you load up your Fire tablet with movies and music it could happen. On the other hand, if you are running up against the capacity limits, why not just delete the book from your Kindle after you have read it? That’s what I do, as after I finish a book while I do re-read them I rarely do so for at least several years.

There are third-party programs which will assist you in storing your Kindle content on your computer, and Amazon also stores an electronic copy of your purchases (for free), and will re-download them for free to your Kindle anytime you want. The only thing I don’t like about Amazon doing that is when an author makes an update to a book – either a slightly different version, corrected some typos, formatting, etc. – Amazon most times will re-download the exact same copy you purchased previously and not the updated copy unless you find the correct icon in the “Manage My Content and Devices” section next to each updated book. That’s a small problem with some of the independent author books as they go back and do the proofing they should have done in the first place (I’m guilty of that as an author, too) and, rather than having a brand new book they just update a revised / corrected copy.

Anyway, enough of my side rant about the corrected copies….

My personal opinion is you should delete a book from your Kindle after you have read it. Why? Your Kindle is a mini-computer, and when a computer’s hard drive fills up it starts to run slower. Your pages will start turning slightly slower, which is happening to me as I have a lot of books in the electronic “to be read” pile.

With a lot of books on it your Kindle is also indexing the pages, which bogs down the computer’s processing speed until all of the books are indexed.  What is indexing?  To me, the layman’s version is it is memorizing the location of every word so that when you want to perform a search of a particular word or phrase – and you can’t remember what book, blog, magazine / newspaper article you have on your Kindle is – you can type in the word(s) or phrase(s) and it will find them.  Some people use this feature a lot (i.e., students searching textbooks and articles), while others rarely or never use it (yours truly).  Indexing also chews up your stored battery as the computer is running away indexing each new book.

However, my #1 reason for deleting books off of my Kindle after I have read them is this: my digital “to be read” pile at any one point in time is 400 or more books. I only want to focus in on the ones I have not read. If you think of digital books in relation to paper books, deleting an electronic book after reading it is like moving the paper book from the “to be read” stack on your desk or nightstand to a formal bookshelf (paper books I like, I keep; books I didn’t like I send off to Half Price Books or put in the recycle bin). With the books stored electronically on Amazon’s servers it is like my bookshelf at home – I can still “see” them on my Kindle, and can pull them off of the shelf, “dust” them off, and start reading immediately. The better thing with an electronic book is I can literally be anywhere in the world with my dented yet trusty Kindle Paperwhite and dust off that book and start reading it again vs. an out-of-town scenario, stuck in a hotel room, and wanting to re-read something – which could be a very bulky book to lug around in the suitcase or laptop bag.

There are several ways to re-download a book to your Kindle, and I am not going to cover them all here, but here is how primarily I do it on my Kindle Paperwhite:

Press / tap the “Home” icon.Press / tap the “My Library” menu item in the top left-hand side of the page.I tap the “All” menu item in the top left-hand side of the pageI have my books organized by collections which means I only have ten pages to scroll through at any one time (I have a lot of detailed categories – you can read how to organize your books into collections if you click here). I will push the next page button until I reach the last page.I tap the category for the genre I am interested in reading at the moment.I now have a list of all items in my digital bookshelf in that particular category. I then scroll down or page turn until I find “the” book to start reading. I’ve sorted the books by title within each category (you can change that by tapping the meu item in the top right-hand section of these pages by Recent, Title, or Author).To search for a specific title from any page, press / tap the search icon and start typing in the first few letters of the title then press / tap the arrow enter button next to the search input bar.You can also search by the author’s name, so if I were looking for books by author Stephen King I will type in “Stephen King” (without the quotes around it) followed by the enter icon.I have eight books by Stephen King in my digital bookshelf. I will then scroll down and tap the name of the book I want to initiate the download process.I received a message saying the book is queued, watched the progress bar on the download, and the book’s icon appeared once complete.I then tap the book’s icon to start reading.

I just walked through that step with my Kindle Paperwhite in front of me. I thought this was extremely fast: my wireless router is upstairs on the opposite end of the house in a closet, and I am using a WiFi connection – it took six seconds for the book I selected to download and appear on the home page.

Anyway, enough rambling for now!

Michael

In the seaside town of Whitecliff, everyone looks out for each other. Everyone knows your name. And everyone knows your secrets…

Moonlight falls on the figure of the girl standing on the red-tiled roof. Her white dress and blonde hair flutter in the freezing night wind. And suddenly – she is gone.

Volunteering at the local nursing home is Millie Westlake’s one escape from the rumours that swirl around Whitecliff about her past. But speaking with elderly resident, Ingrid, as they play board games, Millie gets chills at her strange story about a young girl being pushed from a roof, somewhere across the valley…

Everybody thinks Ingrid is confused: but Millie knows how it feels to not be believed. Her parents died a year ago, and the residents of Whitecliff – such a quiet place, other than crashing waves and cawing seagulls – are convinced Millie killed them.

Desperately searching for evidence to find the girl Ingrid saw, a broken roof tile could prove Ingrid was telling the truth. But when strange footprints appear in Millie’s garden, she’s certain someone out there is watching.

Have Ingrid and Millie stumbled across something terribly dangerous? And with the town against her, will Millie have to face up to her own secrets to solve the mystery before it becomes deadly?

Regular Price: $9.99
Today’s Price: FREE!Click Here for Your Free Copy!Book Description:

Henry Halifax and the Tutori’s Cloak follows fifteen-year-old Henry Halifax, a dock attendant in Kodiak Bay who has a passion for assisting with animal-related quandaries in his spare time. The bustling harbor town has been upended by the recent disappearance of two local fishing boats, sending the local news reporters into a frenzy. When a stranger pulls up to the docks at the end of a long day, Henry suspects this man could be the same international criminal the newspapers had dubbed “The Frenchman” – an elusive figure that many believe is the mastermind behind a bizarre wave of animal heists. From Tokyo to London, the Frenchman has been stealing bear cubs from zoos for years and after recently surfacing again, the press (and Henry) had become enamored with the chaos left behind from his latest caper.

Could it just be a coincidence that the Kodiak Bay Zoo’s new polar bear exhibit recently opened? Or is this mysterious stranger’s arrival a part of a more nefarious plan? Henry and his best friend Penny – a fiercely loyal wirehaired dachshund – intend to find out.

His suspicions are soon confirmed once he reaches the zoo, but he’s unable to stop the thief before the Frenchman steals a pair of polar bear cubs and sets the rest of the animals loose. A wave of mayhem quickly spreads throughout the quiet harbor town, creating the perfect diversion for the French stranger’s escape.

After a chance encounter with a mysterious cloaked gentleman also seemingly on the heels of the Frenchman, Henry soon realizes he’s not the only one in Kodiak Bay trying to stop the temerarious bandit. The man in the cloak, Barnaby Banjo Murdoch, prefers to work alone, but he’s reluctantly forced to partner up with Henry after they cross paths. Barnaby didn’t work for the police. And he wasn’t a private investigator either. He was a Tutori – a member of an ancient organization that had been tasked with watching over the animal kingdom from the shadows known as the Animal Protection Authority.

Following Barnaby aboard the Arthur Broome, a futuristic expedition ship that serves as the APA headquarters, Henry quickly becomes entangled in a web of treachery within the Tutori ranks as they race to catch the Frenchman. Not sure who to trust after his worst fears are realized, Henry will stop at nothing to uncover the truth and save his friends before it’s too late.

Claire’s gut tells her the case isn’t about theft. Her investigation turns up a pathologically anxious suspect, a deeply dysfunctional family, and a murder that she herself appears to have committed.

Today’s Price: FREE!Click Here for Your Free Copy!Book Description:

A barracks full of beautiful boys. A girl in disguise, living among them.

It’s the 14th century, and the longbow is king. But in the northern European principality of Ardennes, archery isn’t just the nation’s defense. It’s the national obsession.

MEET THE JOURNEYS
12 young Journeyman archers, the best in the country
2 years of public competitions, in which looks count almost as much as ability
6 will win a coveted membership in the Archers’ Guild of St. Sebastian
1 will become the prince’s new Guardsman

MEET MARIEKE
15-year-old Marieke is as obsessed with St. Sebastian’s as everyone else in Ardennes. Only it’s the middle ages, and girls just don’t become elite archers. Except Marieke’s prospects as a girl aren’t promising either, after a well-timed kick from a mule has left her with a face that’s badly scarred and ruined for marriage. But when circumstances force her to leave her old life behind and flee to the guild for refuge, there are only two things Marieke really knows about the place. One is that a mysterious accident ended her own father’s time as a Journey. The other?

There are no women allowed inside St. Sebastian’s.

Marieke knows disguising herself as a boy and infiltrating the guild means embarking on a dangerous deception. But it may be her only chance to find out the truth about her father’s past and to stop a murderous plot from coming to fruition. When the dashing young Journeyman Tristan takes her under his wing as his squire, she’s got to stay – at least long enough to help him beat out his brutal arch-rival to win the competitions.

Keeping her identity a secret will be hard. Living in close quarters with a pack of gorgeous boys? That will be harder still. But the hardest thing of all will be keeping the vow she makes for herself: to see Tristan become the next Guardsman, without ever letting him find out she’s a girl – a girl, who loves him.

Struggling to make sense of her life after a bitter divorce, Fleur La Salle has returned to her hometown of Antigonish, Nova Scotia, to rebuild her self-confidence. She longs to rekindle the passion for painting that she lost during her brief marriage. Even more urgently, she hopes to discover the meaning behind her recurring dreams of a mysterious woman pleading for help, dreams that increasingly feel real.

Fleur’s grandmother Eileen, the healer who raised Fleur, intuits a connection between these dreams and their family secret: generations of women said to suffer from an ancient curse. So when a strange letter arrives from Scotland, Eileen encourages Fleur to act quickly, to go claim her disputed inheritance and uncover the details of their shadowy ancestry before it’s too late.

On the remote Scottish Isle of Mull, Fleur stumbles upon a hidden portal of standing stones where her dreams become visceral encounters that cause her physical trauma. Suddenly, the year is AD 560, when Picts roamed, establishing societies of myth and magic. Fleur finds herself racing against time to unlock the secret of her family curse and to unravel the meaning of her dreams. Could she be the mysterious woman, and could the man recently appearing beside her be Thomas B. Hayden, the attractive historical architect Fleur briefly dated back home—the same man now disputing Fleur’s inheritance?

Are her dreams a peek at true love’s destiny . . . or a warning?

Click Here to Buy!Book Description:

The escape pods are long gone.

A distress beacon is still active.

Chase off the pirates and the wreck is all theirs. What was a crime scene moments before just became legitimate salvage, fair game for an opportunistic starship captain.

Carl Ramsey is that opportunist.

His crew of misfits includes his ex-wife as pilot, a drunken mechanic, a predatory bodyguard, and an outcast wizard from the Convocation. On their best days, they’re a well-oiled machine, capable of taking on any challenge.

In theory.

If that ever happened, Carl would be as shocked as anyone.

In the meantime, they’re a crew in need of terras, and the galaxy doesn’t give those out for free. Jobs come and go, but the cost of fuel is always chasing a ship like its own ion trail. A good captain just keeps his crew from killing one another, getting dusted by pirates, and earning however they can. Nobody pays for easy work, and every job comes with its own surprises—never the good kind.

Welcome to life out in the Black Ocean.

…where you can’t always get what you want. But if you try, sometimes…

You’ll get what you need.

About the Author:

I am a creator of worlds and a destroyer of words. As a fantasy writer, my works range from traditional epics to futuristic fantasy with starships. I have worked as an unpaid Little League pitcher, a cashier, a student library aide, a factory grunt, a cubicle drone, and an engineer–there is some overlap in the last two.

Through it all, though, I was always a storyteller. Eventually I started writing books based on the stray stories in my head, and people kept telling me to write more of them. Now, that’s all I do for a living.

I enjoy strategy, worldbuilding, and the fantasy author’s privilege to make up words. I am a gamer, a joker, and a thinker of sideways thoughts. But I don’t dance, can’t sing, and my best artistic efforts fall short of your average notebook doodle. When you read my books, you are seeing me at my best.

My ultimate goal is to be both clever and right at the same time. I have it on good authority that I have yet to achieve it.

In 1969: It was Charles Manson.
In 1977: It was the Son of Sam.
In 2018: It’s New York City’s worst nightmare–CREEPZ

June 2018. New York is suffering under the worst heatwave in centuries, but it’s the barrage of grisly murders that has city dwellers on edge. The homicides don’t fit a pattern and the NYPD is treating them as unrelated, but Detective Grace Jarrod isn’t so sure. Graffiti left at the crime scenes points to the crimes being linked and part of the same rampage.

The delivery of a cryptogram to her precinct proves her theory correct. A group calling themselves CREEPZ takes credit for the deaths and for the war they wage. Jarrod leads the investigation and goes after the madmen who strike at will and profess to kill for love. Little does she know that the cult’s leader, a mysterious figure called Odin, runs a sex trafficking ring that extends into the White House and the presidential corridors of power.

CREEPZ is an adrenaline rush of chills, intensity, and mind-numbing suspense. A mashup of murder, CIA PsyOps programming, political sex rings, and Aleister Crowley mysticism, the elements combine to produce a non-stop page turner that’s a must-read for any fan!

Therefore it did not seem strange when a Lancaster named D-Daisy landed at its base in England after a bombing run, and a member of the crew was found dead.

However, one person soon came to the conclusion that this man had been murdered. And the person who discovered this happened to be blind since birth. Her name was Daisy and she was the victim’s wife. She was very blonde and very pretty; also very young. Therefore, no one would listen to her. So she was going to have to find the murderer on her own.
