Joe Faber’s a funny guy, good with his hands, and great with words – until the stroke which leaves him severely disabled. But this is more than his story.
Wife Fran has a job she loves. Daughter Jess, a wedding to plan. There’s heartbreak and absurdity along the way – but humour is the family’s greatest asset in the drive to get Joe back on his own two feet.
Written by a caregiver. Truthful, balanced, warm.

‘Administering hope and regular hearty laughs, it’s a powerful antidote to despair…’ – Susan Elderkin, co-author, The Novel Cure ‘Things I love about it: the drama, the humour – particularly Joe’s – which made me laugh out loud, the richness of the wider family, the tangible fierce love and passion between Fran and Joe, the eccentricity of the wider family, the evocation of the Scottish landscape, the immersion in the language and culture of the fiddle… It’s a very lively book that is VERY hard to put down’ – Pippa Wainwright ‘A thoroughly enjoyable read whether or not you’ve been affected by stroke, Joe Faber and the Optimists really ought to be recommended reading in stroke clinics around the world.’ – Michelle Ryles, The Book Magnet

‘Engaging and uplifting…. Moving, funny and unexpected.’ ‘A wonderful read… It feels very real and very poignant… It’s also very funny.’ ‘… told with humour and grace.’ ‘A story of determination, optimism and love.’ ‘A book I will definitely share.’

DESCRIPTION:

From the acclaimed author of A Fighter’s Heart comes an “entertaining and enlightening” look inside the mental game of mixed martial arts fighting (Dave Doyle, Yahoo! Sports).

In his acclaimed national bestseller, A Fighter’s Heart, Sam Sheridan took readers with him into the dangerous world of professional fighting. From a muay Thai bout in Bangkok to Iowa, where he fought the toughest mixed martial arts stars, Sheridan threw himself into a quest to understand how and why we fight.

In The Fighter’s Mind, Sheridan explores the mental discipline required of an elite fighter. In his training, Sheridan heard time and again (in Yogi Berra fashion) that “fighting is ninety percent mental, half the time.” But what does this mean, exactly?

To uncover the secrets of mental strength and success, Sheridan interviewed dozens of the world’s most fascinating and dangerous men. He spoke with celebrated trainers Freddie Roach and Greg Jackson; champion fighters Randy Couture, Frank Shamrock, and Marcelo Garcia; ultrarunner David Horton; chess prodigy (and the inspiration for Searching for Bobby Fischer) turned tai chi expert Josh Waitzkin; and the legendary wrestler Dan Gable, among others.

“Fantastic . . . One of the best MMA books I’ve ever read, and I’ve certainly read my fair share.” –Eric O’Brien, “Way of the Warrior,” ESPN radio
“You don’t have to care about fighting, or even know that MMA stands for mixed martial arts, to find insights into human behavior in Sam Sheridan’s The Fighter’s Mind.” –David M. Shribman, Bloomberg

She is a young woman with no family. He is a god-king from ancient mythology who has lost everyone he loves. When they finally meet, only one can survive.

When twenty-four-year-old Alex Kincaid heads out to the Nataraja Dance Hall, she hardly expects to be attacked — much less attempted murder committed by her blind date Chase Maxwell. Less than two days later, Alex receives a valuable golden mask from a mysterious benefactor. Are these events related? Could these happenings also be linked to the terrifying recurring nightmares haunting Alex every night?

Alex soon finds, much to her astonishment, that she is now a Mask Bearer. This ancient secret society is dedicated to preserving and protecting the knowledge and power of the venerable masks, which, in the wrong hands, could end the world as we know it. Who chose Alex and why?

Join Alex and her friends as she tries to unravel the mysteries surrounding her sudden inheritance. At the same time, Alex is trying to contend with her complicated feelings for Gabriel Reyes, an attractive friend intent on keeping Alex alive and winning her heart. Fortunately, Alex’s tough upbringing has prepared her to fight. Will she outlive the ancient vendetta that she inherited along with the golden treasure? And will Set, the ancient god of storms and disorder, allow Alex to survive his terrible retribution. Who can Alex trust with the truth?

Mysterious, exhilarating, and utterly gripping, Nora Delzelle’s entertaining fantasy The Secrets of the Kings takes readers through a twisted journey they will never want to end.
