Beyond the Bear: How I Learned to Live and Love Again after Being Blinded by a Bear by Dan Bigley
Genre(s): Biographies & Memoirs, Memoirs, Science & Math, Biological Sciences, Animals, Bears
A 25-year-old backcountry wanderer, a man happiest exploring wild places with his dog, Dan Bigley woke up one midsummer morning to a day full of promise. Before it was over, after a stellar day of salmon fishing along Alaska’s Kenai and Russian rivers, a grizzly came tearing around a corner in the trail. Dan barely had time for “bear charging” to register before it had him on the ground, altering his life forever.
“Upper nose, eyes, forehead anatomy unrecognizable,” as the medevac report put it.
Until then, one thing after another had fallen into place in Dan’s life. He had a job he loved taking troubled kids on outdoor excursions. He had just bought a cabin high in the Chugach Mountains with a view that went on forever. He was newly in love. After a year of being intrigued by a woman named Amber, they had just spent their first night together. All of this was shattered by the mauling that nearly killed him, that left him blind and disfigured.
Facing paralyzing pain and inconceivable loss, Dan was in no shape to be in a relationship. He and Amber let each other go. Five surgeries later, partway into his long healing journey, they found their way back to each other. The couple’s unforgettable story is one of courage, tenacious will, and the power of love to lead the way out of darkness. Dan Bigley’s triumph over tragedy is a testament to the ability of the human spirit to overcome physical and emotional devastation, to choose not just to live, but to live fully.

The Space Between (Tribes of the Hakahei #1) by Scott J. Robinson
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Science Fiction, Adventure, Space Opera
A liens. They always attack when you least expect it. Although if we knew our history we would’ve known these ones were coming. But the truth about human history has been long forgotten, dismissed as mere myth and legend.
Not that Kim McLean really cares about the details. All she knows is that one minute she was wondering what a medieval hot dog might have been filled with, and the next she was beating aliens over the head with a mace. Now it’s up to her alone to end this war. Well, just her, an elf, a crazy dwarf and a Wonderbra.
The Space Between is the first volume in a four book series. It draws on myths and legends of ancient Earth, weaving a tale that moves from Sherwood Forest to distant worlds and outer space. It involves magical gateways, Area 51, sentient spacecraft, a fifty-thousand-year-old intergalactic war, Machu Picchu and strong coffee.

J ames Micheal Whren is brilliant, beautiful, rich, and taken–with himself, or more precisely, his genius for creating music. Desired by many, committing to no one but his muse, on the eve of his brother’s funeral, his father inadvertently turns his life into a living nightmare, and James is left abandoned in hell with no one real to save him.
His odyssey to freedom takes him beyond the looking glass, to the reflection of friends and lovers. Humbled and alone, James escapes to the Greek island of Corfu. But instead of finding solace there, loneliness almost consumes him.
Until Elisabeth, and her son, Cameron.
Reverb is a love story, a psychological thriller paced with romantic suspense.
In the spirit of The Magus (John Fowles, 1966), and way beyond Fifty Shades of Gray (E.L. James, 2011), Reverb has intricately woven characters fraught with frailties that possess us all, and that will linger long after the read. The story chronicles the evolution of a modern man–from solipsist to integrated awareness. It is a tale of redemption, of one man’s journey through extraordinary emotional growth, awakening his capacity to love.
Reverb is smart, powerful women’s fiction, and satisfies one of our deepest desires–for men to be more emotionally aware, and more connected outside of themselves.

S ean McDermott is a private detective in New York City, it says so right on his business card. It’s an ok job, but it isn’t as exciting as most people think, and that’s fine by him. He makes it a rule not to get involved in active police cases or in any case where people are likely to get hurt–especially him. So why does the mob suddenly want him dead? Sure it’s all a mistake, but dead from a mistake is still dead.
Taking advice from his friend, The Juke, he starts on a cross country drive to LA (what can I tell you, he has a few phobias, and flying is just one of them), and makes it as far as Mystic Falls, New Mexico before the borrowed Mercedes conks out. Mystic Falls? Think Green Acres–without the sophistication.
All he had to do was lie low and wait for the car to be fixed. A good plan too. It might have worked if only the local “character” hadn’t turned up missing, with him as the prime suspect. Now if he ever wants to get out of this sleepy desert asylum, he’s going to have to find her. Fat chance.

Lessons from Generation X to Generation Next by McKenzie McPherson
Genre(s): Self-Help, Motivational, Relationships, Interpersonal Relations, Health Fitness & Dieting, Mate Seeking
“ Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself.” – Eleanor Roosevelt
As you read this, take a moment to pontificate about your life, what are some of the lessons you wish the generation that preceded you had left behind in a diary that you could access anytime you needed advice in a non-judgmental way?
As you think about that, also think about the lessons you hope to pass on to the generation succeeding you?
Lessons from Generation X to Generation Next is a compilation of over 3,000 anecdotes that describe some of the lessons the author has learned throughout her life. The book is divided into 10 categories: family, parents,
education, career, health, finances, relationships, pop culture, life, and spirituality.
The book offers real-life guidance to people of all ages that will greatly improve the quality of life for anyone who reads it and perhaps generations to come.
It is not only wise to learn from our mistakes but generationally advantageous to share what we have learned with those who might be heading down the path we are all too familiar with. Eleanor Roosevelt suggested that we won’t live long enough to make them all ourselves and realistically why would we want to?
There are few guarantees in life, but one of the most sobering is that one day we will die, and even though death might capture our bodies, our spirits will forever be liberated in the lessons we pass on from one generation to the next.

Powder Burn (Burn with Sam Blackett #1) by Mark Chisnell
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction, Action & Adventure, Mystery Thriller & Suspense, Thrillers, Spy Stories & Tales of Intrigue
I f Dragon Tattoo’s Mikael Blomkvist and the Hunger Games’ Katniss Everdeen could have a love-child, she’d probably be a lot like Sam Blackett…
Sam had given up her Manhattan job, and her cute apartment in Brooklyn. She’d abandoned her astonished boyfriend to the charms of ESPN, and flown off into a new dawn to chase her dream of becoming an investigative journalist.
Three months later, alone in a soulless internet café, she’s facing some cold, hard facts; she’s unpublished, unhappy and broke. And right then, the gorgeous Pete Halland blows into her life – headed for the mythical Powder Burn mountain to write history and blast into legend.
If she throws in her lot with Pete and reports the story for National Geographic magazine it could rescue her ambitions, but he’s holding back some crucial information – the question for Sam is… what?
Soon, Sam is up to her neck in snow and the weather is the least of her problems; lost in a secretive Himalayan kingdom with – what could be – a magic sword and a simmering and potentially bloody revolution.
But the father she lost to the war in Iraq was a marine, and he taught her a few tricks in the Vermont backcountry that might just get her out alive – and with a story to tell that could make the front page of the New York Times.
Try the sample with ‘Look Inside’.
Powder Burn is the first of a new series featuring Sam Blackett from the author of the best-selling Janac’s Games books. Chinese Burn will be published in the spring of 2014.
Mark Chisnell’s thrillers have topped the Amazon charts around the world.
Reviews for Mark Chisnell’s Thrillers
An excellent drug-smuggling thriller.
The Bookseller
This is a remarkable thriller – chillingly violent, full of tension and with a very original ending.
Publishing News
This book satisfies history fans, espionage addicts, and anyone else yearning for a good yarn.
Huffington Post
Mark Chisnell writes the kind of stories that will keep you turning the pages till you’re done, and still thinking about them long after that. He writes the Kindle-chart-topping Janac’s Games thrillers, and the Burn series featuring Vermont back country girl and wannabe-investigative journalist, Sam Blackett.
Mark Chisnell’s a former professional sportsman and has also worked as a broadcaster and journalist. He has written for some of the world’s leading magazines and newspapers, including Esquire and the Guardian – but Mark’s greatest achievement was probably hitch-hiking to Mount Everest base-camp in Tibet. In trainers. Or maybe that was the stupidest.

THE FALL (Rapha Chronicles #1) (The Rapha Chronicles) by Chana Keefer
Genre(s): Science Fiction & Fantasy, Fantasy & Magic, Religion & Spirituality, Religious Studies, Science & Religion, Science Fiction Fantasy & Horror, Science Fiction Fantasy & Magic
T HE FALL is a biblical retelling of ancient times through the eyes of an angel who was once best friends with Lucifer.
If M. Night Shamalayan, Steven King, C.S. Lewis & J.R.R. Tolkien collaborated on a story about our origins and the Garden of Eden, this might be the result.
Main Characters:
Rapha: A faithful angel who witnesses the cause and effect of Lucifer’s fall from grace. Rapha becomes the mentor/tutor to Adam and Eve.
Lucifer: Beautiful, seductive, brilliant, ambitious, vindictive angel intent on replacing the most high God as ruler of creation.
Adam: Preteen, mischievous, daring, slightly pampered son of the Most High.
Eve/Glory: Preteen, brilliant, curious, fun-loving, betrothed to Adam.
Take a journey to the beginning. Pull back the veil on biblical history and mysteries. This is a worldview changer.
THE FALL isn’t afraid of collision: spirituality & science; good & evil; truth & deception; religion vs. relationship; grace vs. prejudice–the joy of fairy tales combined with suspense, horror and an epic love story.
Rapha, once Lucifer’s best friend, had a front-row seat for every crucial moment that shaped the world we live in today. This faithful angel wants to tell you his story. But beware, this is not a journey for the faint-of-heart. Ahead there be giants–plus demons, centaurs, mermaids, demi-gods and war that extends from the beginning of time. In the tradition of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis and Frank Peretti, THE FALL (The Rapha Chronicles, Book 1) melds science fiction, fantasy, epic adventure and mythology.
