I Lost To A Girl

 


I Lost To A Girl: A Wrestling Story 


Shelby Hoffman feels like no one in Molly Pitcher High School wants her on the boy's wrestling team. Her father is the principal of the school and not even he understands why she likes wrestling. On top of that, to keep a spot on the team, Shelby has to wrestle above her weight and she feels more like a placeholder, than a varsity wrestler. At least until Mike transfers to Molly Pitcher from Florida and walks onto the team. He was facing expulsion at his high school in Florida and needs a fresh start in New Jersey. Battling an unstable home life and a mother struggling with her own problems, he is doing all he can to not get into another fight at school. But, at Molly Pitcher, being the “new guy” isn’t easy. It’s only his unexpected friendship with Shelby that keeps his focus on wrestling his opponents and not sabotaging himself. With a few extra practices, Mike convinces Shelby that she can wrestle to win and to take her weight-class back from the team’s captain, her “unofficial” boyfriend. On the wrestling mat, they learn about the high cost of victory, equality and fairness.

The Krino Blade

 


The Krino Blade 

(Riley's Excellent and Not-At-All Fake Exorcism Service Book 2)


If you told Riley three months ago that she would be living with a demon and running an exorcism service with her best friend and a priest, she would have laughed so hard, whiskey would have come out of her nose. Hell, she might have even clocked ya. But that's the thing about life . . . it’s fucking unpredictable. 

Now, Riley spends her days managing a team of wannabe exorcists, running from demon-zombies through abandoned factories and convincing old people that their neighbors aren't possessed by demons but are just, in fact, goths. She is consistently trying to hide from her neighbors and landlord that not only do demons exist, but that she has one currently residing in her apartment, while simultaneously trying to prevent said demon from accidentally setting the place on fire. Needless to say, she has a lot on her plate. 

Things get even more twisted for Riley and her rag-tag team when a coven of witches mysteriously go missing. In their quest to locate and save the witches, they are confronted by grotesque creatures, explore a secret desert library, and stop an ancient ritual that may or may not lead to the extinction of humanity. If that wasn't bad enough, Riley will have to face her greatest challenge yet . . . her ex!

Whole Heart

 





"Whole Heart" is an inspiring memoir that acknowledges pain and will move you to tears, but eventually, it will get your heart filled with hope, joy, and aspiration. This is an inspiring true story that proves darkness can lead to light, and joy is possible on the other side of pain.
Author Michelle Felix pours out a lifetime of powerful confessions in her moving memoir. Michelle opens her whole heart and recounts her life, starting from her childhood in Africa to her transitions and current life in America. During her childhood, Michelle had her world turned upside down, as she was forced to face several family issues that deeply affected her and made her feel stuck in a cycle of pain, regret, and immense grief. Readers are pulled into the psyche of the author as a vulnerable young girl trying to navigate the complexity of life and isolation from the only world she's ever known.
However, even with the hurt that painted her childhood, Felix imbues this book with hope for change and a spirit of resilience. Michelle is determined to find healing and turn her pain into purpose, even when she sometimes feels weighed down by the complexities of her past.
This memoir offers an inspiring and intimate look into the life of a girl who fought her way through loss, uncertainty, and rejection. It tells the story of author Michelle Felix's incredible journey of perseverance and redemption. If you have ever felt alone, worthless, lost, or as though you cannot rise from the ashes of the pain of your life, this memoir is for you.

The Road to Covid-30

 



The Road To COVID-30: 

Self-Help Satire For The Soul


Do you remember the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic? Our lives halted (for only 1 week in Texas) and the prolonged state of stasis left us withering to the bitter winds of constant change which violently swirled around us.

From the humble perspective of Vancouver, British Columbia Canada, The Road To COVID-30 seeks to smash through the barrier that holds you back from your future: Yourself. For you see, you must shift with the paradigm or else be left abandoned, alone, to simply turn to dust. Self-preservation and reclamation are interchangeable, and with newfound grace, now apply to your soul as well as your workplace environment.

COVID-19 Tips Include:

  • When to blame the children.
  • How to shift the blame to the United States.
  • How to make $600 last 4 years.

*Bonus* Local Vancouver Guide Tips:

  • How to choose the best government monopoly car insurance crown corporation for you!
  • How to properly time when the Vancouver Park Board emerges from the ocean (based on lunar cycles) so you can update them on various local safety concerns (cracked slides, incidents of torture, etc.).

Family Dynamic Tips Include:

  • Divorce.

Inspired by self-help books which are generally not applicable during a global pandemic (especially hot yoga), and the unique moment when first-world countries started comparing themselves with Iraq, this book is meant to unravel the mysteries of the reality presented to you.

Dying To Meet Jesus

 


Dying to Meet Jesus


Where is God when my suffering seems never-ending? Can I really find joy in this fallen world?This powerful book confronts these questions with stories of the author's near-death experience, a daughter's suicide attempt, mental illness, and numerous other gripping stories that demonstrate not only that God is present when we need him, but that through our trials we can find true intimacy with him.

Author Randy Kay recounts how, as a former devout agnostic, he survived a near-fatal accident while searching for the truth--and when he met the One he sought to disprove, his journey changed from a life of extreme trials into one of genuine joy. In these pages, Kay offers his testimony to show readers how God uses suffering and brokenness to build an intimate and indestructible relationship with him, while breaking down barriers and ushering the reader into an authentic relationship with the Author of love.

I Guess I'll Go To Rehab


Alex just recently entered rehab for drugs and alcohol. Follow his journal entries as well as letters he receives from his spouse Samuel as he embarks on his journey to sobriety.











The Rings of Hesaurun

   



Hesaurun’s once rich biosphere was stolen by a ruthless enemy, ripped away leaving only deep gouges and devastation as evidence that there had once been something more. Now it and its previously inhabited moons lay barren, devoid of the raw materials that fuel life. Still, the devastated planet holds a mysterious secret, The Five Rings of Hesaurun, the Preservers, ancient sentient mechanoids. Other worlds will suffer a similar fate unless the Preservers act, but they need a worthy organic vassal, a ring bearer. They find what they seek in an unexpected place—Earth.
 
Follow the starship Dreamer, her commander Valerie Dunne, and crew as they navigate the past, present, and distant futures. Earth’s fate now rests on this strange woman’s ability to harness five Hesaurun rings — rings with the power to destroy, heal, manipulate time, and somehow help her find a way to alter her own destiny.
 
The Rings of Hesaurun is a fast-paced but easy-to-follow adventure with a myriad of characters, settings, and surprises. Peter Harrett has crafted a thrilling page-turner with character development akin to the brilliance of King or Koontz.

Profilic writer, Peter D. Harrett has recently kicked off his writing career with a fantasy book series, The Rings of Hesaurun. Intentioned to be written in four parts but has only 2 parts currently, the book is available on Amazon. The Rings of Hesaurun is a fast-paced but easy-to-follow adventure with a myriad of characters, settings, and surprises.

He places Earth’s fate in her hands and her ability to harness five Hesaurun rings which have the power to destroy, heal, manipulate time, and somehow help her find a way to alter her own destiny.
