In this intellectually seducing highly introspective erotic novel and existential testament Cosmin Stefan Georgescu takes us on the life's journey of a covert Alpha Male (but not only) exploring the multiplicity of the human psyche and labyrinthine spectrum of manly desires from the coming-of-age phase to the young self-aware libertine adventurer to the finally disenchanted mature man conscious of his own and of the human nature limits.In his new ingenuously open-hearted literary journey, he makes peace with his own contradictions and gives a compassionate look at the complexities of human nature establishing a fine balance between self-awareness, narcissistic contemplation and objective observation of detailed reality.In his novel women's bodies and intimate body parts and diversified heterosexual interaction become poetry and source of endless inspiration.This is a rare must-read for those not afraid to wander into forbidden realms of the senses and to spiral cerebral journeys enriched by ponderings and sexual depiction of the most intrinsic analytical nature.Cosmin Stefan Georgescu Born in Romania, in 1971. From an early age he was fascinated by words. He liked listening to his parents reading him bedtime stories, he used to learn a lot of poems by heart and recite them proudly. His first models were his parents, both of them teachers. However, Cosmin did not follow in his parents' footsteps and decided to become a doctor. He graduated from Carol Davilla Medical University in Bucharest in 1997. In 2015 he went to France and ever since he has been living and working there. He wrote and published the following books in Romania, the UK and France: The Kiss that Severs Us, Advice I Would Give to No One, Aphorisms Made at Giurgiu, The Tin Ring, Letters to God returned to sender, Conseils que je ne donnerais à personne, The Maiorescunians, Full-moon above the Vosges, Animus in Anima.

Es erscheint den meisten Menschen, die von den Nachrichten der Presse, des Fernsehens oder des Internets überschwemmt werden, dass die Probleme im eigenen Land oder in der Welt immer größer und die Politik und die Politiker immer schlechter werden.Die Politiker können die anstehenden Probleme gar nicht oder nur schlecht lösen. Sie orientieren sich nicht am Gemeinwohl aller Bürger und stellen oft mit ihren Handlungen das eigentliche Problem dar.Es ist fast allen Menschen bewusst, dass sich nur "schlechte" Nachrichten gut verkaufen lassen, aber es gelingt ihnen meistens nicht, sich von dieser Fehleinschätzung zu befreien.Vielleicht kann dieses Buch dazu anregen, diese Gedankenfalle zu überwinden und Wege für weitere positive Entwicklungen aufzuzeigen. Es zeigt die soziale Entwicklung des Homo Sapiens seit der Entwicklung der Schrift auf. Es versucht Wege zu zeigen, wie man durch eine bessere Auswahl der Politiker und durch die Eliminierung von katstrophalen Fehlbesetzungen unsere politische Kultur weiter verbessern kann.
Like all kids her age, Ilse van Elewijk tries her best to survive the jungle of her teenage years, although sometimes it doesn't matter how much she tries, she can't seem to fit in some places. Then, one day, she accidentally finds an old box containing some papers and diaries, all belonging to Alice Scholten, a girl her age, who happened to live in the house many years before her. By reading Alice's old diaries, Ilse immediately understands that something deep links her to the unknown Alice as they seem to share a "sixth sense" as well as other things that, so far, Ilse tagged as simple "oddities". This discovery comforts Ilse and makes her so bold as to go searching for Alice, now an old lady. From the moment they met, nothing will be the same for Ilse, as thanks to Alice, she finds she is a psychic, a useful gift but that needs to be understood first; something that requires both motivation and a deep knowledge of her own strength...Eva Van Baar is the pseudonym of the acclaimed author of "Alter Ego," "Nothing Outside You," and "There's a Message for You". In 2015, she was nominated for the Nobel Prize for her book "Ilse". For her stories, Eva Van Baar gets inspiration from her everyday life. She's been writing for a long time, the act of writing has been with her since her kids were little, and she used to record everything to keep track of the events. She decided to write 'Ilse', because there was little in the field of esotericism for young people. She currently lives surrounded by the love of her family and her cats, Noefje and Akila.

I started writing poems when I was 10 years old. Later, I made many attempts to write books, but I gave up. My works have been published in many Bulgarian periodicals, forums, and online platforms.In 2019, I finished my first novel - "Dead Love". At the time I did not expect it to become a series. Its genre is fantasy. Three of its parts have been published so far, with a fourth coming in a few months. "There are not only stars in the sky" is another story inspired by strong feelings. It was released on the market in Bulgaria in 2022 and there will be no sequel.I am currently working on a new book, again a fantasy. I plan to write another fantasy novel after it, of course an unconventional one, as are all my stories.In life, I am quite an ordinary man, with a small circle of friends. I love silence and nature. Single.

Mit der Veröffentlichung ihres zweiten Buches will die Autorin Hoffnung geben, Hoffnung auf bessere Zeiten, auf ein besseres Leben."Ich möchte weiteren Personen einen RAUM geben, ihre Geschichte zu erzählen.

Kein Lehrbuch der Nationalökonomik kann jemals eine immer und überall empirisch gültige Einheitstheorie für das bestmögliche Funktionieren einer staatlich eingebundenen Wirtschaft (Nationalökonomie) zugunsten der Bürger, des Gemeinwesens und befreundeter Länder anbieten. Unwissen über Zustände und Funktionsweisen künftiger Nationalökonomien, die sich mit turbulentem innovativem Wandel in unvorstellbarer Weise neugestalten, ist ein Hauptgrund. Gleichwohl sollen und wollen Nationalökonomen bestmögliche Ratschläge für eine gesamtwirtschaftliche Entwicklung erteilen, die allen nützt. Sie trachten durch ein "Spurenlesen" der Menschen da und dort sowie ein "Spurendeuten" über gewisse Zeitspannen hinweg ein dynamisches Makro-Modell für die speziell betrachtete Nationalökonomie zu gewinnen. Üblich sind Zwei-Schritt-Einzelschätzungen (versuchs- und schrittweise Hinzunahme und sodann Wegnahme von Regressoren) für Verknüpfungen von Gruppen-Daten. Misslich ist dabei zweierlei: (1.) dass mit den verfügbaren Daten unterschiedliche und gleichermaßen vertretbare Modelle möglich sind, (2.) ferner jedoch keines dieser Modelle zukunftsgültig "wie eine Maschine" sein kann. Tiefere Gründe für beides liegen (mangels "Allwissens") in der allüberall nur "beschränkten Rationalität", im unkalkulierbaren Ausleben persönlicher Freiheiten in der "Marktwirtschaftlichen Demokratie" sowie schließlich im erwähnten Wandel moderner Nationalökonomien. Ungeachtet aller unvermeidlichen "Unschärfen" (mit ungenauen Definitionen der Variablen, den nur ungefähr dazu passenden Daten und tatsächlich bloß weichen Verknüpfungen) werden die Modelle mit Mathematik und ökonometrischen Spezifikationen als scheingenau präsentiert, von einzelnen Fachleuten zum Glauben angeboten und sogar zur "Rechtfertigung" politischer Maßnahmen nach bestimmten Weltanschauungen als allgemeingültig verfochten. Meinungsführer erreichen dabei nicht selten eine sozialpsychologische Immunisierung bestimmter Thesen. Diese wirkt im Alltag (bei Handlungsempfehlungen, bei Prüfungen und bei Karriere-Schritten) oftmals als verbindlich und "wahr". Der bei führenden Nationalökonomen bisher praktizierte "naturwissenschaftliche Denkstil" (mit genauer Ausdrucksweise, Überprüfbarkeit der Zusammenhangsvermutungen und Suche nach Gesetz- oder Regelmäßigkeiten) hat sich erschöpft, dabei aber eine große Herausforderung an die Wissenschaft hinterlassen.
Disappointment, hope, struggle, love, failure and resilience are everyday themes that occupy our thoughts and constitute our inner monologue. In this book, the writer takes you on a journey of self-reflection. It invites each of us to pause and reflect on the beauty, simplicity and complexity of life. To reconnect with ourselves and nature. And to rediscover ties and pure feelings with our families, friends, and the world around us... "The water gliding forming ripples on the lake. Above the clouds, blue skies, pure air... You are you... time to get happy, smile and laugh again." And "silence, alone with my thoughts again, inviting, and familiar, like communing with an old friend..."

Born of personal experience this anthology is representative of a heartfelt poetry collection by Anglo Asian born author Dawn Beasley.The collection is the fruit of trauma and her extremely difficult experiences including being a cancer sufferer who lost her ability to paint because of it.The poems are pregnant with desperation and hope, faith and doubts, fear and ultimate courage that has helped Dawn in overcoming each new challenge. It is through faith and help from supporting family and friends that Dawn has managed to focus on her writing abilities giving birth to a profound, touching selection of poems reflecting her personal state of mind and her physical struggle for survival. Ultimately Healing Words is a compendium of cathartic proportions leading to a sense of liberation and resulting in a generous transmission of grief and positive and optimistic vibrations for the reader to thoroughly enjoy and suffer at the same time.Dawn Beasley was born into an Anglo Asian family in 1952. She grew up in North London amongst a fair deal of colour prejudice. She soon found she had a natural flair for languages which became apparent in her later years at school and has now come to the fore.Her Christian faith, love of people, adoption of two daughters and care for their well-being through serious personal traumas over the years brought her to a place of using her gifting in writing to release emotion and enable others to do the same.Dawn's once fine art skills disappeared after her battle with major oesophageal cancer in 2013. What she found she could not do with a paintbrush anymore seemed to accelerate her ability to write and she has been encouraged by numerous people to publish what now has become Healing Words her heartfelt and touching poetry collection.
Can the sight of a fly landing on a rock lead to the realisation of the ephemerality of existence? For Clem, it can. He is in his forties, he drives a taxi in Cork, and he lives in waiting: waiting to earn more money, waiting to finish his book of poems, waiting to move to Madrid - the promised land - where he hopes to open a bar and start living for real. And while he waits, he thinks. A lot.Reading this book, we soon find ourselves floating in a complex stream of consciousness featuring cosmic journeys, epiphanies, cold wars fought online with ex-girlfriends, and a good dose of self-sabotage. In the midst of all this, a single, obsessive question keeps coming back with haunting insistence - the only question worth asking: What is the meaning of life? Colm Michael O'Driscoll was born in 1971 in Ireland. He has had a passion for writing from an early age, developing a unique forthright style by composing multitudes of poems and scripts in his bedroom throughout his teenage years.

He moved to Madrid in 2012, where he lives and works as an English Teacher. He has published a well-received poetry book In the Latter Stages of Something Else (2012), and a novel Not Quite a Christmas Carol (2019).

"Ich sah mit eigenen Augen, wie die fanatischen Islamisten der Taliban, die sich selbst als Gotteskrieger präsentierten, im Namen Allahs Frauen auspeitschten und steinigten.Die Frauen schrien laut, aber niemand hörte auf ihr Stöhnen, Jammern und Schreien, obwohl die lauten Schreie in die Bergen gingen und ihre Echos widerhallten, die alle Lebewesen hörten, außer die radikale Islamisten der Taliban."Said AzamiMillionen afghanischer Frauen leben unter der Taliban-Herrschaft im Namen der Scharia in häuslicher Sklaverei und Gefangenschaft. Niemand kann diesen Frauen helfen, lediglich sie selbst. Unverschont, der Realität ganz nahe, berichtet Said Azami hautnah die tragischen Erlebnisse vieler seiner Landsleute in Afghanistan.Die Rechte der afghanischen Frauen werden durch die Taliban im Rahmen der Scharia und religiösen Tyrannei derart interpretiert, dass es nur noch Ausgrenzung, Erpressung, Erniedrigung, Unterdrückung, Diskriminierung, Auspeitschung, Steinigung bis hin zum Tode gibt. All dem sind sie wehrlos ausgesetzt.

Ein Ende ist nicht in Sicht und täglich wird es schlimmer.Das Buch hat er mit eigenen Kindheits- und Jugenderlebnissen und Erfahrungen angereichert.
Jaclyn Fowler was destined to write a novel about John ("Black Jack") Kehoe. Kehoe's unflinching courage stands in sharp contrast to the perfidious, relentless opposition of Franklin B. Gowen, the anti-union railroad lawyer. Her research is impeccable; her characters jump off the page and her story will turn over the heart of any reader who has one. I must add that this is a novel ensconced in a brilliant frame-Jaclyn's own story of growing up in an Irish-American family. Fowler's stunning rendering of Kehoe's heroic tale is dramatic, Dreiserian and delicious.J. Michael Lennon, author most recently of Mailer's Last Days: Remembrances of a Life in Literature.Jaclyn Fowler has created an unforgettable historical novel. Her powerful writing is enhanced by extensive research as she debunks Pennsylvania lore concerning Jack Kehoe, the falsely accused Molly Maguire, charged with practicing vigilante justice in the northeastern coalfields. Fowler seasons the story with an autobiographical slant. Having grown up in the area listening to her father, also named Jack, render tales of the mining atrocities, Fowler aims to right the wrongs of that difficult time. Jackie Fowler's novel deserves to be set alongside Angle of Repose, Wallace Stegner's Pulitzer Prize winning novel.Nancy McKinley, author of St. Christopher on PlutoA storyteller at heart, Jaclyn Maria Fowler comes from a long line of raconteurs and wanderers who all trace their lineage back to Ireland. She, too, travels to write and writes to travel, and following in the footsteps of her ancestors, tells the stories of Ireland and the Irish diaspora. To pay for her obsession, she works as Chair of the English Department at American Public University System (APUS).She is the author of It is Myself that I Remake and No One Radiates Love Alone. Fowler has also published many short stories, including The Other Day I Found a Penny in the Street in the 2020 Colorado Book Award winning anthology, Women of the Desert in the Wanderlust Best of '20 anthology, and In the Summer Before Third Grade in the 2022 Fish Anthology.Fowler received her Doctorate from The Pennsylvania State University and her MFA from Wilkes University. She is the proud mother of two grown children-Katlyn and Collin-who tell their own stories in writing, and lives with Doodles, a pampered shitzu mix.

Is it relevant to describe oneself as a middle-aged man from the cold yet temperate Northeast of England? Father of three and stepfather to one, all of whom keep his world spinning: will such a description win his work benefactors and a brownie point among the readerships - maybe even tempt open a pocket? The author sincerely hopes so because, as you will find in the pages of this volume, he owes his ex-wife a house.But their existence in his life is reward enough and keeps and maintains a heart beating and a gratitude, quite often unexpressed, except for in the ethereal notes you will find, at times, pouring from the pages of this book. SUBLIMINISM is the place where you will find that middle-aged man, dancing alone, loving life, hands to the sky, and just having a bit of moonshine.If you want to know a writer read their book. If you want to know their soul... read them all.According to a well-known theory, since the average age of a cell is about seven years, over that time, all the cells of the body would be regenerated, making each person a whole new individual. Lee Richardson was taught as a child to believe in 7-year cycles, and since then, has added to this theory his own astrological spin with unexpected biographical revelations.Baby Aries was born to grow into the boy who caught butterflies and hunted mice amongst the cornfields beyond his backyard; a young adventurer, always willing to try anything once. The schoolkid Taurus, crammed with the heaviness of curriculum education, first learnt the full weight of societal institutions. The shy teenager Gemini paved with stuttering communication the way for friendships that survived a lifetime - or didn't - as he suffered the loss of some of those most beloved to him. Adulthood would shine a stage light onto the meaning of everything, as in Cancer's cycle, his daughter was born in July, protected under the hard shell of his fatherhood, and held against the soft belly of his love. The grown man, a wandering Lion, found his Lioness, and within a few years with the birth of their children they had their Pride and basked in a warm and beautiful sunshine, preparing for marriage.Maturity came with Virgo's need to cross the i's and dot the t's. And then the wheels fell off, and the man lay in his cell, asking for judgement. It fell on the Libra to balance with feathers and lead as he finished his sentence and felt the bliss of release and the pain of a broken marriage. He wrote a book and then some, his tongue more barbed as he learned that some things can't be swept under and left to fester. As his time approaches and breaches, the middle-aged Scorpio knows that passion and emotion need an outlet and welcomes his 7-year cycle as the most interesting yet.
