[ANUSHA]

My newest release is Stories on Lord Shiva series -16: from various sources of Shiva purana




Amazon UK>>>>https://www.amazon.co.uk/Stories-Lord...

I personally request all the readers to leave their reviews at the amazon site after they happen to read the ebook


Blurb:
Lord shiva is adi and he is only the anthya. He is the sole reason for the happenings in both the movable and immovable worlds. Therefore, it is said that not even a spring of grass will move without his permission. He is the one who has given life to all the creatures. He is also the one who takes away the lives of all the creatures. Sadhus sages and aghoraas practice severe penance without minding day and night on Lord Shiva.

He blesses his devotees with boons. He is called Bole Shankar. All recite his five syllabled mantra or panchakshari mantra " om Namah Shivaya" which is the most popular one among all the other mantras. Lord Shiva who is also called Parameswara is the one who has got no birth and death. He is only the beginning and he is the end. Nandi which happens to be the vehicle of Lord Shiva is a bull. The abode of Lord Shiva is Mount Kailash. In Hindu religion Lord Shiva is called Devaadi Deva Mahadeva which means God for all the Gods. He is the supreme God. Lord Shiva has three eyes. The third eye is situated in between his brows. The third eye is used by him only whenever he wants to destroy the things. He is the one who dwells at cemetery.

Once Lord Shiva had presented his dancing skills before the sage Bharata. He had one follower while dancing whose name was Tandava. That's how it became Shiva Tandava. During the time of Mahashivratri whosoever takes the darshan of Lord Shiva's twelve jyotirlingas they are believed to incur special blessings from Lord Shiva. In olden days where ever, Lord Shiva appeared on the planet Earth, in those places Shivalinga came out from the ground naturally such places became Jyotirlingas. Lord Shiva's favourite offering is bilva Patra. Dakshinamurthy is one of the forms of Lord Shiva. He is believed to bless us with divine knowledge and gives self-realization. He is the first Guru. The followers of Lord Shiva called Shaivites.

In Hinduism Lord Shiva is worshipped in the form of a Lingaa. Because of his matted hair he is called jataadhara. He is seen seated on a tiger skin. His abode is Mount Kailash. Lord Shiva is both ascetic and a householder. He wears a coiled snake around his neck whose name is Vasuki. That snake is coiled around Lord Shiva's neck three times which represent the past present and future. The flower named Datura is one of the favourite flowers of Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva's favourite weekday is Monday. The month of Shravan according to Hindu calendar is believed to be one of the favourite seasons which lord Shiva loves. Whosoever performs Pooja and worships Lord Shiva with great reverence in the month of shraavana will get blessings of Lord Shiva.

There are many stotras and hymns on Lord Shiva. The favourite Stotra of Lord Shiva is Shiva Mahimna Stotra which is written by pushpadanta. Lord Shiva is the one who has conquered death. He is the concert of mother Gauri. He is the one who had drunk the poison kaalakuta in order to save the world and the living beings. He is also called the time for all the times. He wears a crescent moon on his head. He wears a garland made out of Rudraksha. Here Rudra means

another name of lord Shiva and Aksh means tears. Therefore, Rudraksha is originated from the tears of Lord Shiva. Shiva means the auspicious one. The one who holds the dumroo. People follow the pradosh vrata every month in order to get blessings from Lord Shiva. It is believed that whosoever performs this pradosh Vrata they will be in curing that boon which is got when two cows are donated. Lord Shiva applies Bhasma all over his body. The application of Bhasma indicates that the body is perishable and one day it shall get reduced into ashes.
Listening to Shivapuran for one time liberates a man from all his sins. Listening it for the second time bestows devotion on lord Shiva. Listening to it for the third time, takes a man to the abode of Lord Shiva.

Small Beginnings

Dr Who meets Terry Pratchett ... sort of.

When your very existence is treason, employment opportunities are thin on the ground. But when one of the biggest crime lords in the city makes The Pan of Hamgee a job offer he can’t refuse, it’s hard to tell what the dumbest move is: accepting the offer or saying no to Big Merv. Neither will do much for The Pan’s life expectancy.

[M.T.]

Also I’ve a book in a free box set of 8, full-length first in series novels. I’m reading everyone else’s books in this set at the moment and really enjoying them so I’d definitely recommend it. It’s free too. You can find those here:

Silence Falls came out a couple of months ago, but I've only just found this thread...

Communications, power and systems have broken down. An implacable enemy is wiping away all traces of civilisation. It is left to a very few to find the means to fightback. But first they must find the courage.

There are no heroes. Just ordinary people, doing their best. In a world without hope, their best will have to do.

The Poinciana Tree

This story is set around the beautiful Poinciana tree, with its amazing red flowers.

Suzanne Matthews arrives home from work to find the kitchen in disarray and her daughter missing. After searching the house, her eyes turn towards the garden, drawn to the Poinciana tree.
Underneath its canopy she sees her daughter, slumped against its trunk.

When the police are unable to identify Jennifer’s killer, they turn their attention to her husband, Mark. Whilst trying to cope with her grief, she finds herself fighting to prove her husband’s innocence, as her world is turned upside down. She is inspired by another woman, who went with her husband to the Sudan as medical volunteers for a charity organisation.

A tale of raw emotion, desperation and acceptance.

Levelling: A Ghost Story, the latest instalment in the Tales of the Uncanny Series has now been published in Amazon Kindle and can be viewed at the following universal link: http://mybook.to/levelling

An atmospheric ghost story from the Somerset Levels
It is late August 1975, and a pair of damselflies couple in the last rays of a summer’s day as something belches forth from the foetid depths of a Somerset ditch. Jennifer Meadham looks on, transfixed, as her husband falls apart before her, but this is only the foreshadowing of the horror that is to come. His return is her first visit, but will it also be her last?

Dr Geoffrey Meadham has maintained a lifelong silence with respect to his boyhood home and his parents, but now, it seems, his wife is about to find out why; she is about to learn the meaning of ‘levelling’.

Hi!) My name is Alina, I’m the author of a new novel on Amazon.

Download a Christmas novel «The 2 Richards» for FREE today and enjoy the book on Christmas Eve! 🎄

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B081BTWX1C

This is a novel I wrote for a year and created a book in which you will find humor, real life, feelings, searches for yourself and much more.

Please, after reading the novel, write a review on Amazon or Goodreads The 2 Richards and Instagram @alinakryvenets

Every review is important for me 🙏

Thank you and have a good day! 

About the novel

Christmas Eve – a time of wonder. The tangerine and ginger air of New York, the bright lights of a busy city, and a belief that something wonderful was going to happen to you for certain.

Amy – is a reflection of any woman. You will delve deeply into her life and discover, to your surprise, how much she has in common with everyone. When you read this novel, you won’t notice that you will go through a transformation yourself, discovering answers to questions such as:

“What’s the purpose of life?”

“How do I accept myself, fall in love, and be in harmony with my own body, and my own thoughts?”

“How do I learn to forgive, and how do I learn to let go of people in my life?”

“How do I make a cardinal change in my life?”

“How do I achieve inner harmony?”

Above the winter blues. Above everything that has prevented us from just being really happy at the rustle of dappled wings from the butterflies we feel, and the beauty of our cozy silence.

Thank you for supporting a new author, and for giving the book a chance at success!

With love, Alina. ❤

Hello! I'm halfway through publishing a series of translated French pulp crime thrillers from 1929 - Book 5 just went live this morning! The books are largely standalones and can be read in any order.

Chantecoq and Zapata


Who is Zapata?
The shadowy head of an underground army fighting to liberate India from British rule, Zapata has brought their ruthless campaign of terror to the streets of Paris.

Having assassinated the young journalist and explorer Jacques de Villers at his own engagement party, Zapata's next target is the Paris head of the British Intelligence Service.

When an elite secret agent is being stalked, taunted, and pursued by an unseen foe, who can they turn to for help?

Who else, but Chantecoq? King of detectives, master of disguise.

Faced with the apparently impossible task of tracking down Europe's most wanted terrorist, in a house where nobody is quite what they seem, Chantecoq's guile and resourcefulness are pushed to the limit in a taut battle of wits against the deadly... Zapata!

First published in France in 1929 (as "Zapata...?"), and never before translated into English, this book is part of the "Further Exploits of Chantecoq" series by Arthur Bernède, which sees the secret agent and expert spy catcher of Chantecoq and the Aubry Affair reborn as the greatest private detective of his age.

Chantecoq and Zapata

I hope you enjoy the further exploits of Chantecoq.

I released my book this week, it's both a science fiction and adventure story.

Brandon is just a regular young man living an average life – until a chance encounter with a gifted woman changes everything. Alicia gives him the gift, which saves his life and grants him superhuman abilities, but it comes at a price. The gifted are hunted and have been for generations.

Safe in a sanctuary, Brandon and Alicia become close. But the moment they venture out, they cross paths with the soldiers who hunt the gifted. The encounter prompts Brandon to learn more about the origins of the gift and the extent of his new abilities. Undercover, he infiltrates the soldiers’ group, and finds allies who will support him.

Now, Brandon is no longer a regular man drifting through life. He has a purpose: to bring an end to the centuries-old conflict between the gifted and the soldiers, and take the gifted out of the shadows and reveal them to the world.

The 12th book in my DSI Jeff Barton Manchester crime thriller series is now available for pre-order at Amazon. Details and link below.

'Vengeance is mine' said the killer.

Just when you thought you'd got away with it … a serial killer emerges from the confines of the dark web and delivers their own form of brutal justice.

But who can blame them?
These are not good people the killer is dispatching into the next world.

DSI Jeff Barton and his team investigate but are frustrated by the lack of useful leads. The more they find out about the families of the victims the more complicated the case becomes. Everybody is known to somebody. Everybody has been turning a blind eye to the suffering of others at the hands of evil perpetrators. And nobody appears to be telling anything like the truth.

Barton also has to contend with a new Chief Superintendent who seems intent on undermining him and a new DC on his team who's making a little too much effort to get on with her new colleagues.

As the body count rises but still without any leads, Barton fears the trail will go cold. Then a connection to a previous case produces a jaw dropping twist at the end and leaves those surrounding the killer in shock.

Just launched, a children's fantasy: 'The Dragon Sanctuary' by Ann Perry
Through the ages, dragons had gradually been tamed to be kept as pets before being hunted to extinction. These particular dragons - being bred with wings too small to lift their bodies, so that they were unable to fly away - were not always properly cared for by their owners – and so the Dragon Sanctuary was created.

' ...Peter Cross leaves behind the family traumas following the death of his father in England and flies out to Australia to get right away and try and find some peace.

But on his first day there he falls in love.

And that's where his life starts to get really complicated.

Because although he admits to being bisexual, he's initially reluctant to get involved with Cameron because he's a few years younger than Peter. But when he does finally give in he feels more excited and happier than he's been for a long time, until a secret disclosure from Cameron's mother Vicky not only breaks Peter's heart but also calls on him to use every last bit of emotional strength he's got. It also opens up a connection between him and Vicky that neither will acknowledge.

The New South Wales coastal town of Beachcliff is a community of CEO's from some of Australia's top companies and their wives, rock stars and surfer dudes. Vicky's friends and those that Peter has made all have their own problems but as they all unite in grief, Vicky and Peter find it hard to avoid finding their way to each other, especially when Vicky gives Peter another reason to stay with her.

And when they do finally give in to the winds that are blowing them together, will it all end in the happiness that they both deserve? … '

Last week to get your copy of this netgalley ARC for Bell Hammers:

https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/boo...


PRANKS. OIL. PROTEST. JOKES BETWEEN NEWLYWEDS.

AND ONE HILARIOUS SIEGE OF A MAJOR CORPORATION.

Remmy grows up with Beth in Bellhammer, Illinois as oil and coal companies rob the land of everything that made it paradise. Under his Grandad, he learns how to properly prank his neighbors, friends, and foes. Beth tries to fix Remmy by taking him to church. Under his Daddy, Remmy starts the Bell Hammer Construction Company, which depends on contracts from Texaco Oil. And Beth argues with him about how to build a better business. Together, Remmy and Beth start to build a great neighborhood of "merry men" carpenters: a paradise of s’mores, porch furniture, newborn babies, and summer trips to Branson where their boys pop the tops of off the neighborhood’s two hundred soda bottles. Their witty banter builds a kind of castle among a growing nostalgia.

Then one of Jim Johnstone’s faulty Texaco oil derricks falls down on their house and poisons their neighborhood's well.

Poisoned wells escalate to torched dog houses. Torched dog houses escalate to stolen carpentry tools and cancelled contracts. Cancelled contracts escalate to eminent domain. Sick of the attacks from Texaco Oil on his neighborhood, Remmy assembles his merry men:

"We need the world's greatest prank. One grand glorious jest that'll bloody the nose of that tyrant. Besides, pranks and jokes don't got no consequences, right?

Publisher Note: Everyone who downloads the book will be entered for a chance to win a signed hardback of BELL HAMMERS sealed in red wax bearing the signet monogram of the author.



:: PRAISE FOR LANCELOT SCHAUBERT AND BELL HAMMERS ::

“BELL HAMMERS is written in a style not unworthy of John Ken- nedy Toole and William Faulkner – the vivid characterization of Southern ethnography commingled with stark, episodic spectacle breathes with the spirit of quintessential Americana. It is a text I would happily assign in an American Novel class and would expect it to yield satisfying discourse alongside works in the canon, whether beside the sardonic prose of Mark Twain or the energetically painful narratives of Toni Morrison.”
— Dr. Anthony Cirilla

“BELL HAMMERS is the kind of story that makes you a better person and stays with you long after you put it down.”
— F.C. Shultz, author of The Rose Weapon

“Loved BELL HAMMERS because Lancelot wrote about people who don’t get written about enough and he did it with humor, compas- sion, and heart.”
— Brian Slatterly, author of Lost Everything and editor of The New Haven Review

“Schaubert’s words have an immediacy, a potency, an intimacy that grab the reader by the collar and say, ‘Listen, this is important!’ Prob- ing the bones and gristle of humanity, Lancelot’s subjects challenge, but also offer insights into redemption if only we will stop and pay attention.”
— Erika Robuck, national bestselling author of Hemingway’s Girl

“Myth, regret, the lore of our heritage and the subtle displays of our castes — no one so accurately and imaginatively captures the joys and sorrows of life in the Midwest as Schaubert does here. BELL HAMMERS is a Tree Grows in Brooklyn as told by Gabriel Garcia Marquez if Marquez lived in rural Illinois and only told stories to his grandkids. Seriously a delight to read.”
— Colby Williams, author of the Axiom Gold Medal winning book Small Town, Big Money

“I’m such a fan of Lancelot Schaubert’s work. His unique view and his life-wisdom enriches all he does. We’re lucky to count him among our contributors.”
— Therese Walsh, author of The Moon Sisters and Editorial Director of Writer Unboxed

“Lancelot Schaubert writes with conviction but without the cliché and bluster of the propaganda that is so common in this age of blogs and tweets. Here is a real practitioner of the craft who has the patience to pay attention. May his tribe increase!”
— Jonathan Wilson Hartgrove, author of Common Prayer and The Awakening of Hope

“Lancelot’s attentive, thoughtful, a bit quirky, and innovative. He continues to impress me. He ‘sees,’ and BELL HAMMERS is full of details that enable his audience to see. Bravo, Lance.”
— Jackina Stark, author of Things Worth Remembering and Tender Grace

“Schaubert’s narratives are emotionally stirring with both a vulnerable sensibility and rawness to them. BELL HAMMERS will take you on a journey full of open wounds, intimate successes and personal delights. Lancelot’s words have a calmness, a natural ease but the meaning is always commanding and dynamic.”
— Natalie Gee, Brooklyn Film Festival

'A Wedding In Green' - Simon Kavanagh

Georgia Russell and Max Butler run an event management business. They are asked by a close friend if they will oversee the nuptials of a well-known rapper and his bride, the daughter of an up-and-coming diplomat. Recognising an opportunity to cash in on such a lavish and costly occasion, they agree to take the commission on. It soon becomes apparent that the bride will go to any expense to have an extravagant but eco-friendly wedding and they are required to devise various innovations to satisfy her directions.

When their wedding day arrives, the ceremony proceeds flawlessly but tragedy strikes within the hour, leaving Georgia and Max to pick up the pieces. Unbeknown to all, sinister forces are at play to ensure Britain’s leading position in the international arms race and ensure its economic prosperity for years to come.

'A Wedding in Green' continues the story of Max Butler & Georgia Russell and is now available on the Amazon store at https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B089SC851...

Eileen McHugh - a life remade - is available for free from http://www.philipspires.co.uk/eileen.htm in the usual formats.
It's a novel about a sculptor whose creative life ended in the 1970s. She left no work, but now an archive of her notes and sketches has come into the possession of Mary Reynolds, who is determined to resurrect the artist's life and reconstruct her work. She contacts people who knew Eileen as a child and as a student in London. She follows the artist on a hippie trip to Thailand. Via these partial memories, she recreates the artist and her work.

Passing clouds 2 just released in both Kindle and paperback. This is the 2nd in the Passing clouds series.
This book, the second in series, is also in large print for the partially sighted, and is the continuing story of a British boy, covering the second decade of his life, from the post-war years of 1947-57.Between the ages of 10 and 20, the author explains how he overcame his academic difficulties at school, being both dyslexic and having a short attention span, by concentrating on his creative and artistic talents. He tells about leaving school, starting work in a factory, always enticed by the smell of newly cut wood, and finally getting the apprenticeship he really wanted. His love of cycling and keeping fit in his spare time was only outweighed by his developing interest and talent in music, learning to play the harmonica, skiffle and rock 'n roll.

I have decided that Destiny of The Wulf by Harrison Davies (me) will remain free via Smashwords, Amazon, iTunes, Google Play and even direct download, forever (or until a future publisher asks it to be taken down).

Synopsis.

In the eternal battle between dark magic and light, brothers Coinin and Marrok Wulf are called by an ancient Brotherhood to fulfil a great prophecy that will tip the fate of their world forever.

At play are the greatest forces of darkness in the universe: Death himself and dark wizard, Lordich Secracar, who will stop at nothing to thwart the brothers’ journey and pull Er’ath, their beloved home world, into the void.

To head off Death’s ultimate plans to rule the gods and bring chaos to the heavens, the two brothers must follow their destiny to unite the five sacred Swords of Cerathil, in the Tower of Elyia, as the ancient seer, Aduramis foretold.

In their path lie untold enemies and unspoken treachery. Torn between the powers that be and their call to fate, Coinin and Marrok must overcome all that stands in their way, or let their precious world fall into ruin …

Journey now into the brave new world of The Aduramis Chronicles, a coming-of-age fantasy series that is as diverse as it is dense--combining all of the classical elements of the fantasy adventures you love with the plot-driven, multi-faceted character dramas of the modern age.

Take off with Book One, Destiny of The Wulf, into a world unlike any other, as the ticking hand of fate moves ever closer towards destruction ...

Good news, bad news on Launch Day
My late friend and expedition leader Michael Cole was predictable. During our months in Nepal, China, Peru and Nicaragua, we faced a few setbacks. But we could count on Mike to start any conversation with 'The good news is ...'. There was never any bad news.
Today's 'good news is' that the Kindle edition of is out at https://getbook.at/Ablaze.
The genre is WW2 historical nonfiction. The book tells the true stories of the men and women of the Special Operations Executive's secret North African base.
The Kindle edition will stay at the launch price of £0.99 / $0.99 until July 23rd.
There is 'less good' news, though. James, our designer, has been set back by the coronavirus and is still working on the final paperback and hardback covers. They are nearly ready, but meanwhile the paperback is available on Amazon with a provisional cover. It will probably be a couple of weeks before the book is available from local book shops (if they are open).
I hope you enjoy the book. I've loved researching and writing it.
