-SOPHIE-"e;We're in this together now..."e;I meant those words when I spoke them to Zach. He lights up my world, makes me feel safe, and tempts me to believe that life doesn't have to be dictated by my supernatural abilities or the dangers from my past. But lately, it seems the events that took place two years ago are still haunting me, a looming threat that never allows me to escape its grasp. Now, I must choose between hiding my fear-not an easy feat when your boyfriend is an empath trained to pick up on your every emotional response-or telling Zach and my family a truth that could change everything.-ZACH-"e;I'm giving you the real me to hold and keep safe..."e;I've given Sophie the most honest version of myself, and she isn't afraid of the real me. She takes all my bad choices, all my good intentions, and all my passionate responses as part of the whole, and I swear, just the sound of her voice or her touch can undo me and then put me back together again. This girl is my everything. Sure, we've had more obstacles to overcome than most couples-supernatural gifts tend to complicate matters from time to time-but we've worked through them together. Still, I can't escape the feeling that there are more obstacles to come, and even though she tries to hide her fears, I know her far too well, and even without my gift, I would know she has a secret to tell-a secret that could stand in the way of a future we deserve to share together.

Don't open this book unless you're ready for a potent uncut reality from the perspective of an unbiased source, the victim.This book is designed to answer the questions or give insight into the ways some of us had to think from the inside from a survival standpoint and for those on the outside that have the questions of where this type of thinking came from so they can understand what the problem really is while providing therapy for both sides as well as a potential solution for all. This is a platform for understanding the forced reality-that's the fact that it takes a village to tend to this properly. So I'm taking this fight head-on.

Stories FROM Scowtown is a collection of short stories about our life on our floating home and the community of personalities who lived there. Our little enclave of floating homes attracted an assortment of folks, from artists to athletes to teachers and retirees. The homes were a collection of sweet little cottages dotted with flower baskets to sleek contemporary homes with mirrored walls and white furniture. Others chose a more casual approach with their home, constructing it with anything that floated by. So pour yourself a glass of iced tea, sit back in your lounge chair, and enjoy the stories. Then close your eyes and dream with the setting sun on your face.

Breaking the Yoke: The Unruly Mind is a thought-provoking, Bible-oriented book that exposes lawless thinking and how to overcome them with godly principles and weapons of war. It intertwines both a biblical and a psychological perspective. Readers are expected to gain a deeper understanding of the concept of the mind, how it operates, how it affects us, and how we can effect it to affect our future. It is inspired by the author's direct and indirect battles in the mind and relentless search to get down to the root of the problems he encountered. Of utmost importance, every reader is invited to a deeper intimacy with the Lord Jesus Christ as that is the true and right way for chains to be broken off anyone's life. The unruly mind is common to all man and is a state we are all familiar with. However, breaking yokes of demonic covenants and barricades with this state of mind is where we need to be to daily walk in victory.Christ has called us to be more than conquerors, but the enemy has made it his point of duty to ensure that you and I live below our identity in Christ by infiltrating us with lies from our childhood and onward through various systems, culture, the media, etc. But I believe what Jesus says in John 8:32 that you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. And that's why this book has landed on your hands. You're about to be set free. This is no secret, so share this with others and be empowered!

Little does he suspect of what he is about to face before he can ride off into the sunset. This might just be the very thing that prevents him from Getting to the End.

The name is all but gone now from the city he called home. But he was once a household name until his bank went under. Arguably, it killed him.What about General Custer and Seventh Cavalry? They didn't just magically appear in Montana to make history. First, they had to water their horses in Illinois. The general even had to do some birthday shopping there.Most people already know colors don't make a noise. But when you read the title chapter of this book, you'll understand the phrase.Echoes of Purple and Gold has stories you might think you know: high school colors, sinking ships, a hanging, and a central Illinois man who put Zane Grey on the literary map.Add a toddler who was run over by a train and still telling about it a lifetime later, the city's fattest men enjoying an enormous meal the night before Thanksgiving, plus the magic of railroads coming to town.

As my friends will attest, I enjoy telling stories. Over the years, the more patient ones have endured the predictable progression of telling more and more often. For me, it becomes increasingly difficult to remember to whom I have told which stories, but I try as best I can not to be redundant. This book is an opportunity to share some of the better ones in a way the reader can decide when to pay attention. I don't presume to think my stories are a special gift, but it's nice to know there are still new "e;ears."e; Who knows where you will find a tickle or a chuckle, maybe even a "e;LOL,"e; but know for sure I will be happy if this book provides moments to enjoy a smile. Thank you.

This is a story about the journey we call life. It takes you down the unknown paths and explores the unexpected twists and turns along the way. It teaches you how the path can seem so serene one minute but also how quickly you can be forced to veer off the beaten path in the next minute. It is the testimony of one who has been knocked down, tripped, and fallen, and who has been lost countless times along the way. One that provides that little glimmer of light at the end of those long dark tunnels of defeat and discouragement, as well as the encouragement for those who have traveled these or similar rugged and ruthless paths. It is a confirmation that there are no coincidences or mistakes in life and that everything happens for a reason. Life is essentially a never-ending lesson, and ultimately you choose how you proceed. Either you can choose to pay attention and learn the lesson so you can move forward, or you can continue to repeat the same lesson until you choose to get it. The choice is yours to make, and only you can decide where you go from here. I encourage you to take this journey with me and to allow me to shed a little light on the lessons that I learned along the way. You need to know that you can and you will rise again and also that it is never too late to begin again. Tie up those boots and let's get started on this journey, shall we?

On a world where trees are hundreds of feet tall with leaves more than a dozen feet wide, the inhabitants are dwarfed by the underlying vegetation of the immense forest floor. The forces of good and evil pair off in small-scale battles to determine the destiny of a colony, whether they live free of tyranny or succumb to the will of a brutal oppressive regime. The difficult terrain made wheeled vehicles impractical and limited designs of military craft to those that closely resemble the only creatures capable of efficiently traversing the terrain--insects. All flying craft received the default name of sects and often incorporated design features too complex for most pilots to master. The first conflict using fragile unreliable sect craft ended in a bitter stalemate. It was more a pause in the fighting while both sides labored to reconstitute. Much has changed since then with technological advancements in flying craft design and complexity. The Feroci are in the preparatory stage of carrying out the final offensive to annihilate the last remaining colony of the descendants that left the Grand Hive generations ago to seek prosperity. The Feroci have developed secret advanced crafts and a cunning strategy. Weary of war, the last colony has become complacent in limiting engagements to small scrimmages and mostly defensive operations. The colony leadership suspects the Feroci are planning a major offensive but have no idea where or when. They began dispatching scouts to find clues, but colony pilots hesitate to fly close to the Feroci homeland for fear of encountering the enemy's leading ace in a craft called the Sect Slayer. A new sect crew chief encounters the enemy ace on his first combat mission and manages to survive after the pilot is incapacitated. In the process, he discovers love, a jealous new foe that wants to ruin his career, new allies, an old friend that wants to even the odds, and a determined enemy ace that wants to exact revenge against him and lead the Feroci forces to assured victory. So begins the Sect War.

The hope that we will discontinue the traditional trade of innocence for ignorance. The aim of this book is to break one cycle and begin another more constructive one.

Su Boom Boom Su Boom KaWhen I was an elementary school teacher in the Ivory Coast, I set aside some special time. I called that special time "e;Stories Time."e; I first initiate some tales and then end up with some discussions to see whether my young students can grasp the meaning of my tale. On many occasions, I invite them to tell to the class their Hamlet's story to enrich the class with the wisdom of each individual legend or stories. Our stories personify daily people in their actions. In the Hare's accounts, this is a cunning creature with fertile imagination and is capable of getting around the most difficult situation. On the other hand of the spectrum, we have Hyena, a gluttonous and too stupid, imbecile, arrogant, and pretentious animal who misapplies the teachings of Hare, resulting to him being punished. The discovery of things in Mother Nature is illustrated by the story of Nekpo and Vili. After serious blowbacks by Vili the porcupine, the hunter came about the ideas of using the porcupine's deadly spines to conceive an arrow.A mother whose son had not grasped the meaning of the logic yet, and therefore not being able to measure the consequences of his own actions, was left to manage his mother's food preparation while out in the field. In complicity with his baby brother, Saki ate all the meat and leaves a few. As a result, when mother came back, she severely punished them. It is not because that somebody is physically impaired that she must be mocked. That debilitated person can save lives. Akissi, who initially is uninvited to join the group of young women of her age, saves lives of her sisters from a powerful witchcraft. Human beings seldom recognize the goodness of hearts of those who get them out of dire situations. Or what goes around must come down and what goes up obviously comes down. One can't spit in air and not expect to receive some droplets of saliva in one's face. That is exactly what happened in the story of Tiger that dug a pit and threw himself in. Monkey, heartbroken because of his distress, came to his rescue and then Tiger wants to make him prey. Then, an arbitrary came and saw his tricks and set Monkey free.
