Genre(s): Biographies & Memoirs, Memoirs, Specific Groups, Women, Politics & Social Sciences, Social Sciences, Criminology, Crime & Criminals, Penology
“ A gritty, raw, and engrossing voice.”–Publishers Weekly I was a bad mother,
a bad daughter,
a bad wife, a bad friend.
Boozed out and tired,
with no dreams
and no future. But I was a good officer. Sara Lunsford helped cage the worst of the worst, from serial killers to sex criminals. At the end of every day, when she walked out the prison gate, she had to try to shed the horrors she witnessed. But the darkness invaded every part of her life, no matter how much she tried to immerse herself in a liquor bottle. She couldn’t hide from the things that hurt her, the things that made her bleed, the things that still rise up in the dark and choke her. With a magnetic, raw voice that you won’t soon forget, Sweet Hell on Fire grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go. It’s a hardscrabble climb from rock bottom to the new ground of a woman who understands the meaning of sacrifice, the joy of redemption, and the quiet haven to be found in hope.

A long the rain-soaked pavements of Hong Kong slinks the Revelation virus, which transforms people into ravenous, adrenaline-charged shells of their former selves, followed by a painful death.
Ruby is a remapper: one of the lucky few to be immune to the virus that decimated 90% of the world’s population, one of the brave few who ventures into the dark corners of Hong Kong to see what remains. In the wasteland of Hong Kong, Ruby finds what she’s been looking for, what her father and brother died for: the promise of a viral shelter. But the people who believe that immune blood can cure all are coming for Ruby, to take one of her only currencies in a broken world– her blood. And they will do anything to get to it.
As her memory continues to evaporate from her in the detritus of Hong Kong’s wasteland, a result of the gamma rays that surround her, Ruby knows that the only person to trust is herself, and the only chance at survival is the myth of the viral shelters that lie underground like a whispered promise. As she fights for her life and a chance at tomorrow, will she lose everything in the process?
The love child of Mira Grant’s Feed, Blade Runner, and William Gibson’s cyberpunk world of Neuromancer, Slouching Towards Kowloon is an action-packed thrill ride into the heart of darkness, where people will do anything and be anything for the bleakest, most distant chance at survival.

Street Without A Name by Kapka Kassabova
Genre(s): Biographies & Memoirs, Memoirs
N ot many people could put their finger on a map and find Bulgaria. Yet Kapka Kassabova hasn’t quite forgotten–sometimes not for want of trying–exactly where it is. Kapka was born in the muddy outskirts of Sofia, Bulgaria, and has loved and hated her homeland in equal measures ever since. She grew up under the drab, gray mantle of one of communism’s most mindlessly authoritarian regimes, escaping with her family after the collapse of the Berlin Wall. Now that Bulgaria has finally made it (to the surprised incredulity of many Bulgarians) into the European Union, she’s gone home, but how do you feel about a home that you hated when you lived there and have spent most of your life trying to escape? In this illuminating and gorgeously written memoir, Kapka revisits Bulgaria and her own muddled relationship to it, traveling back to the scenes of her childhood, sampling its bizarre tourist sites, uncovering its centuries’ old history of bloodshed and blurred borders, and capturing the absurdities and idiosyncrasies of her own and her country’s past.

Genre(s): Politics & Social Sciences, Philosophy, Metaphysics, Religion & Spirituality, Occult, Self-Help, Motivational, Spiritual, History, Americas, Mexico, Occultism
T his may be the last self-empowerment book you will ever need.
Shaahin Cheyene, writer, filmmaker, and herbalist, outlines a new and highly effective extra-strength, no-excuses, fierce, and aggressive system of self-empowerment formulated to take you out of your weak, false reality and deliver you into a true and more authentic you.
From the teachings of Ehekateotl, one of the last great living medicine men from the Aztec Tetzkatlipoka Tradition of Darkness, Cheyene extracts and reveals a practical philosophy known as The Law of Opposites. It teaches that all answers are found in balancing life s opposing extremes through a discipline whose primary principle is, as Cheyene writes: The Dogma of No Dogma.
In Darkness, Cheyene challenges us to eliminate our expectations and to live at ease in a world of relentless change and chaos. By embracing The Darkness, we confront our fears and kill the dogma that deprives us, liberating us from restriction. Through The Darkness you, too, can discover The Power of Illumination.
Editorial Reviews
Illuminating and Engaging. Cheyene intelligently describes a new paradigm extracted from the teachings of one of the last great living Aztec Medicine Men that involves the integration of ancient and modern knowledge into a new movement.
Daniel Pinchbeck Author 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl –Daniel Pinchbeck Author 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl
Powerful and thought provoking, Darkness is a unique and bold approach to spiritual awakening. Drawing upon ancient Aztec traditions, Cheyene offers the reader a new way of coping with the contradictions of life, and presents an illuminating path to personal and cosmic mastery. Darkness will entice spiritual seekers, both old and new, to take a journey they will never forget.
Ron Scolastico, Ph.D. Author of Becoming Enlightened; Twelve Keys to Higher Consciousness –Ron Scolastico, Ph.D. Author of Becoming Enlightened; Twelve Keys to Higher Consciousness
Shaahin has accomplished he enormous task of translating the eternal truths of the healing power of darkness into a common sense, coherent weave of wisdom, stories, and the courageous plans of action of the spiritual warrior.
This book will shake the very foundation on which you stand, and this internal earthquake will plunge you into the ember seed of light/dark consciousness. Embrace the path of the unknown; in that darkness, you will find your true soul purpose which you were born to fulfill on this planet. Darkness: The Power Of Illumination will be a must read for all the people I serve.

Judgment Ridge by Dick Lehr

A riveting investigation of the brutal murders of two Dartmouth professors –– a book that, like In Cold Blood, reveals the chilling reality behind a murder that captivated the nation. On a cold night in January 2001, the idyllic community of Dartmouth College was shattered by the discovery that two of its most beloved professors had been hacked to death in their own home. Investigators searched helplessly for clues linking the victims, Half and Susanne Zantop, to their murderer or murderers. A few weeks later, across the river, in the town of Chelsea, Vermont, police cars were spotted in front of the house of high school senior Robert Tulloch. The police had come to question Tulloch and his best friend, Jim Parker. Soon , the town discovered the incomprehensible reality that Tulloch and Parker, two of Chelsea’s brightest and most popular sons, were now fugitives, wanted for the murders of Half and Susanne Zantop. Authors Mitchell Zuckoff and Dick Lehr provide a vivid explication of a murder that captivated the nation, as well as dramatic revelations about the forces that turned two popular teenagers into killers. Judgement Ridge conveys a deep appreciation for the lives (and the devastating loss) of Half and Susanne Zantop, while also providing a clear portrait of the killers, their families, and their community –and, perhaps, a warning to any parent about what evil may lurk in the hearts of boys.

Two years later, Megan is preparing to commemorate Emma’s birthday and the anniversary of her kidnapping, compelled to keep her name alive in the minds of her community and her family.

Meanwhile, in the same small town, Jack is beginning to question his wife’s secrecy about their adored granddaughter, Emmie. As Dottie slips into dementia and becomes increasingly protective over Emmie, he can’t help but wonder if there could be a dark secret that Dottie is keeping from him.
Jack and Megan’s worlds finally intersect at the town carnival, when Megan snaps a photograph of a little girl on her grandfather’s shoulders.

How to Think Clearly: A Guide to Critical Thinking by Doug Erlandson
Genre(s): Politics & Social Sciences, Philosophy, Logic & Language
H ow to Think Clearly: A Guide to Critical Thinking is an easy-to-understand, lively, and at times lighthearted introduction to the serious issues of learning how to think clearly and how to spot the difference between good and bad reasoning in the spoken and printed word. Dr. Doug Erlandson has written a book that is clear and straightforward enough that those who are interested in learning how to think clearly can read and understand it on their own. At the same time the book possesses the content and intellectual rigor that one expects in a text appropriate for an introductory college-level course in critical thinking.
Drawing on many concrete examples of good and bad reasoning from the political and social realm as well as from day-to-day life, Erlandson explains the difference between an argument, an explanation, and a description, and then discusses the characteristics of good and bad deductive and inductive arguments. He follows this with three chapters devoted to spotting and avoiding various fallacies, including such common ones as ad hominem attacks, straw man arguments, red herrings, false cause arguments, equivocations, and the like.
In addition to the chapters on arguments and fallacies, How to Think Clearly devotes a chapter to explanations, in which Erlandson discusses the criteria for distinguishing between adequate and inadequate explanations. The chapter on probability, in addition to discussing the topic in general, emphasizes the relationship between probability and rational decision making in real life, an issue seldom discussed in books on critical thinking. The chapter entitled “Fun With Numbers” shows how easy it is to misinform and even lie with numbers, thereby providing the reader with tools to question claims that have an aura of objectivity because of the presence of quantified data.
The final chapter discusses ways in which loaded words and slanted descriptions can be used to create positive or negative attitudes toward individuals, institutions, and practices. The book closes with a plea for fairness and civility in discourse and challenges the reader to put the quest for truth above the desire to see one’s position triumph at all costs.
How to Think Clearly is based on Doug Erlandson’s nearly twenty years of teaching courses in logic and critical thinking as well as his observations of good and bad reasoning in many areas of life. This book will provide readers with the tools they need to critically assess the claims and counterclaims with which they are bombarded by politicians, pundits, commentators, and editors, as well as coworkers, friends and family. Finally, it will aid readers in developing skills to present their own views in ways that are clear, coherent, sensible, and persuasive.

Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Romance, Fantasy & Futuristic, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Fantasy, Epic
339 pages for only 99¢ !! (REGULAR PRICE $3.99) {bigger books are better for you}
A young princess thought she lost it all: home, family, and country. And she did. But what she gained in the process was a true friend and loyal protector, a new country to learn to love, and a secret holy quest that holds the promise of saving them all...
The usually secretive kingdom of Venordaladia is suddenly driven to world conquest by their new horrid leader, the Sorcerer Shutharja, who mysteriously rose to absolute power there overnight. This self-proclaimed cleric of the forbidden worship of the Fallen Spirits unleashes a massive attack of shock and awe upon the peaceful kingdoms surrounding the Imperial Sea. Now, the enemy horde gathers in the occupied kingdoms poised to complete their total domination…all for the glory of their sovereign sorcerer of death and destruction.
With her beloved kingdom of Palzintine ransacked and her dear parents thought slaughtered in the battle to defend her homeland, young Princess Angelterra and her wheatish-skinned protector, a lady knight named Jeela, must flee for their lives. During their desperate flight to a safe haven, the two young women are hunted by possessed creatures and dark agents of Shutharja as they try to reunite with the rest of their countryman, who are now refugees huddled in a neighboring kingdom. Unlike most princesses, Angelterra now has no court, no throne, no home, and no parents, but she must, nonetheless, learn to inspire her people to stay strong and resist the enemy.
During a chant ceremony, Angelterra experiences an intense, lucid vision, the Vision Dream. In this strange, wonderful vision two cryptic quest-riddles are bestowed upon her by the Spirit of the Heavenly Father. She realizes she must find a way to decipher these riddles, for she is convinced that they hold the key to once and for all thwarting Shutharja’s ambitions. The young princess discovers that the Heavenly Father only reveals such quests to those whom he has chosen to be his Vessel. Angelterra must also find a way to make peace within herself over her new spiritual duty and her budding talent in the use of powerful magic, a talent she tries to deny she possesses.
All the while, she finds her heart in conflict over two men. The first, an exiled prince and fellow freedom fighter whom she has always secretly loved, a man everyone believes she is destined to marry. However, the cruelty of fate rips this childhood friend from her and gives him to another. The second is a man to whom she is unwillingly, yet passionately, attracted, a man who despises everything her station brings. And yet…she cannot seem to get him out of her mind.Meanwhile, the leaders of the remaining kingdoms meet to try to find a way to forestall Shutharja’s terrible push for conquest. On their way to the allies’ council, Angelterra and Knight Jeela are visited by a pack of suspect mercenaries with news about her parents who were thought to have perished in the first wave of the attack. Against her knights protests, the princess follows these men into the night as she desperately clings to the hope of finding her parents alive… This epic fantasy continues with Part Two: Daughters of Thine Lesser Evil (B00A2Z2ZVU), as clues to the meaning of the vision dream quest are revealed as well as the allies’ plan to fight back.

T o say F**k It feels good. To stop struggling and finally do what you wish . . . to ignore what everyone is telling you and just go your own way . . . feels really great. In this inspiring and humorous book, John C. Parkin suggests that saying F**k It is the perfect Western expression of the Eastern spiritual concept of letting go, giving up, and finding real freedom by realizing that things don’t matter so much (if at all). It’s a spiritual way that doesn’t require chanting, meditating, or wearing sandals. And it’s the very power of this modern-day profanity that makes it perfect for shaking us Westerners out of the stress and anxiety that dominate our daily lives. So, find out how to say F**k It to all your problems and concerns. Say F**k It to all the “shoulds” in your life, and finally do what you want–no matter what other people think!

W here Brave Men Fall – A groundbreaking and disturbing history that exposes American and British back room politics, treason, and wartime espionage while laying bare the story of one of the greatest Allied military disasters and betrayals of World War Two.
On August 19, 1942, an Allied naval armada of 237 ships arrived off the coast of Dieppe, France carrying ten thousand sailors and soldiers determined to assault Adolf Hitler’s Fortress Europe in what was coined Operation JUBILEE. What these men thought would be a textbook lesson in amphibious warfare turned instead into a slaughter. In only seven hours of battle, the Allies, consisting mostly of Canadian troops, lost more men than the United States during either the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, or the Spanish-American War. Before the day was ended, the Canadians recorded a 68 percent casualty rate. Of the 5086 Canadians who landed at Dieppe only 1443 returned to England, many of whom were wounded. What was to have been the first Allied attempt to land a large force on the European Continent since Dunkirk instead, turned into a horrendous failure.
The Battle of Dieppe was the first serious Allied assault against Hitler’s western European defense system in World War Two. Historically, it is regarded as the preamble to the June 6, 1944, D-Day Landings. Yet, there has never been a detailed and complete examination of the political, military or strategic reasons behind the raid, the countless security leaks preceding the battle, nor the claims by both German and Allied troops that the Germans had been forewarned.
Where Brave Men Fall is a riveting and disturbing journey across the pages of WWII military and political history. Painstakingly researched, the authors tell the story of American and British political, military, and espionage intrigues and the events leading up to and culminating in the Battle of Dieppe. Their conclusions are both profound and sobering, revealing how the Dieppe Raid was part of a grand British military deception resulting in the cold-blooded and calculated sacrifice of Canadian troops, in part to prevent Hitler from freeing up his western forces for an anticipated German invasion of Spain. At the heart of the author’s research are new and disturbing revelations outlining of the role played by the American media, specifically Life and Time Magazine, in the publication of coded messages designed to forewarn the Nazi’s of the upcoming raid on the French coast. This is a must read book that will leave the reader angry and shaken, forever changing one’s perspective of American and British military history and actions of Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The Story Behind The Book – In 1986, two young Canadian historians, George and Darril Fosty, received and invitation to attend the South Saskatchewan Regiment Reunion in Langley, British Columbia, for the purpose of interviewing veterans of the Dieppe Raid. Little did these brothers realize that the Reunion would mark the beginning of a 25-year journey which would lead from a Canadian Legion Hall in British Columbia to the espionage streets of New York City, the back rooms of American and British politics, and the forgotten battlefields of France. Along the way, these historians would not only discover the truth behind the Dieppe Raid, but also succeed in creating a rare chronicle and account on the lives of a group of South Saskatchewan Regiment veterans who were forever changed by Dieppe and its aftermath.
About The Authors – George and Darril Fosty are the authors of eight books, including the bestseller Black Ice: The Lost History of the Colored Hockey League of the Maritimes, 1895 to 1925. Where Brave Men Fall is considered their most important and finest work.

The Problem of Evil: A Biblical Perspective by Doug Erlandson
Genre(s): Christian Books & Bibles, Theology, Politics & Social Sciences, Philosophy, Religious, Religion & Spirituality, Christianity, Apologetics
“ If God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good, why is there evil in the world? An all-powerful and all-knowing God would have the ability to eliminate evil while an all-good God would want to eliminate evil. Yet, evil exists. So, how can God possibly be all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good?”
Commonly known as the “problem of evil,” this question has perplexed philosophers and theologians for centuries. Countless books and articles have been devoted to trying to justify the goodness of God in the face of evil. Others have sought to show that these justifications are unpersuasive.
In The Problem of Evil: A Biblical Perspective, Dr. Doug Erlandson takes a fresh approach to the problem, one that is based on the revelation given in the Judeo-Christian scriptures. Drawing on his nearly forty years of teaching and writing on the issue, Erlandson first of all looks at the traditional attempts to provide a justification of God in light of the evil in the world. These justifications, known as “theodicies,” fall into three major types–metaphysical theodicies, the freewill defense, and greater-good theodicies. Erlandson devotes a chapter to each of these.
Metaphysical theodicies are those that argue that there is something in the nature of creation or in human beings that makes the existence of evil inevitable. Through an examination of St. Augustine’s theodicy as well as that of C.S. Lewis, Erlandson shows that this approach is particularly unpromising as a way of trying to solve the problem of evil.
The widely-held freewill defense, which argues that evil results from the wrong choices of free human beings, is shown to rest on certain debatable assumptions, the most crucial of which is that genuine free choice must result in evil. Through a careful analysis of the relationship between divine omniscience and human free will as well as an explication of what free will is, Erlandson demonstrates that this assumption is mistaken and that attempts to salvage the freewill defense through appeal to middle knowledge and timelessness are confused.
Finally, Erlandson examines greater-good theodicies, using the monumental work of John Hick (Evil and the God of Love) as his primary example. He shows that this approach, which argues that God permits evil to bring about a greater good, is as fraught with difficulties as are the other two approaches.
The second half of The Problem of Evil: A Biblical Perspective presents Erlandson’s fresh approach to theodicy. Arguing that the problem with the traditional theodicies is that they are anthropomorphic (man-centered), he proposes that we take a theocentric approach to the problem, one that assumes that God has created the world first and foremost to manifest His glory, and that He has created the world that is best suited to this purpose. We must also adopt the stance we consistently find in Scripture, as when God confronts Job: God is the eternal Creator of the universe. He knows what He is doing. We may not understand why He has created this world with its seemingly gratuitous evil. But He has promised to lead His children to glory. In the meantime, He asks us simply to trust Him.
Even so, although we must begin with trust, God has also revealed Himself sufficiently that we can gain some understanding of why He has chosen to create this world with its mixture of good and evil. The manifestation of God’s glory in creation involves the revelation of His attributes. Those that bear most crucially on the problem of evil are His righteousness, justice, mercy, and grace. Each of these is most adequately displayed in a world much like the one in which we live.
Finally, Erlandson points to the incarnation and the resurrection as proof that a good and loving God has not only experienced our sufferings and weaknesses but will fulfill His promise to bring His children to the eternal new creation where He will fully reveal to us how everything works to His glory and our good.

In the twenty fourth century, a scientific experiment gave a few species the gift of intelligence, and after much struggle, they’ve carved out a place in society. By the thirtieth century, humans find themselves co-existing, negotiating, and residing on Earth with these animals as equals.
Maya Lawton is a lonely prostitute living in this world. She gives birth to the first halfkinds, creatures who are half animal-kind, and half mankind. Since interspecies breeding is illegal, she is forced into seclusion and raises them alone. Then one day, without warning, she dies, and her death leads to their discovery. Abandoned and lost, this family of halfkinds plan to escape to a terraformed moon. But the law is after them. The order is to kill, sent by the highest authority, the United Species Alliance.
What separates the Halfkinds series from the rest isn’t only its unique premise, but also its structure. Chapters shift between the first person POV’s of key characters and are presented in a non-linear fashion in order to create a mounting suspense that will keep the reader riveted until the end. Various plot twists occur within the story, and the different character viewpoints help alter the tone as you go along to give an unbiased presentation of their motives and actions. The setting allows a diverse cast of characters, some human, many not, to send a message that intelligence is a power that we take for granted, and when given to other species, the world becomes a dangerous place.

You can’t control it, either. All you can do is set your thrusters on glide and let it take you where it’s going to take you.”

Seeking to reconcile past mistakes and gain a forgiveness she feels she does not deserve, the control over her empathic abilities is put to the test when the darkness that lives within her spirit threatens to once again destroy any piece of happiness that she allows herself to find.
As a Mechatronic Automaton, Ethan defines his world through a set of logically defined values and understandings. Encountering Orynn throws his system out of balance as he tries to decide if he should trust the feelings he is developing, or if he should follow the logic telling him that she is trying to control him for some unknown purpose.

As his understanding of her develops, he begins to question all of his preconceived notions about both himself and the universe around him.

Justice was served. Or was it? Fifteen years later, a new killer arrives in Christchurch, and he has a list of people who were involved in Jessica’s murder case, one of whom is the unfortunate Dr. Stanton, a man with three young girls. If Tate is going to help them, he has to find the connection between the killer, the Laughterhouse, and the city’s suddenly growing murder rate. And he needs to figure it out fast, because Stanton and his daughters have been kidnapped, and the doctor is being forced to make an impossible decision: which one of his daughters is to die first. In The Laughterhouse, the city of Christchurch becomes “a modern equivalent of James Ellroy’s Los Angeles of the 1950s, a discordant symphony of violence and human weakness” (Publishers Weekly). Fast-paced, dark, and intensely clever, this exciting thriller represents a brilliant new chapter in the career of a world-class crime writer.

“ …Truly one of the best books I’ve read in a very very long time.”
~SARRA CANNON, author of the Peachville High Demon series
Leave it to Maryah Woodsen to break the one rule that will screw up eternity: Never erase your memories.
Before entering this life, Maryah did the unthinkable–she erased. Now, at seventeen years old, she’s clueless that her new adoptive family has known her for centuries, that they are perpetually reincarnated souls, and that they have supernatural abilities. Oh, and she’s supposed to love (not despise) Nathan, the green-eyed daredevil who saved her life.
Nathan is convinced his family’s plan to spark Maryah’s memory is hopeless, but his love for her is undying. After spending (and remembering) so many lifetimes together, being around an empty version of his soulmate is heart shattering. He hates acting like a stalker, but has no choice because the evil outcast who murdered Maryah in their last lifetime is still after her.
While Maryah’s hunter inches closer, she and Nathan make assumptions and hide secrets that rip them further apart. Maryah has to believe in the magic within her, Nathan must have faith in the power of their love, and both need to grasp onto the truth before they lose each other forever–and discover just how lonely eternity can be.

Tavi’s excitement soon turns into horror as he learns what kind of a life he has been forced into and the things that are expected of him. As his world comes crashing down around him, he struggles to stay true to himself in the midst of the darkness.
But when one of his friends dies a horrific death, Tavi knows that he must escape if he is to survive and ever have a chance at a normal life again.

This daunting task will require the cruel tactics of the evil animal slave trading hyena, Old Jack. The heartbreaking plans they devise and innocent pawns they use to try to coerce Shark’s allegiance will force all to rely on primitive instincts to survive.

K eep Your Resolutions—permanently
WHAT IT WON’T AND WILL
Thankfully, this book does not lay out a new, miracle program or wonder diet, or give you any amazing, fat-burning exercises, or even regale you with inspirational stories.
Better…
• What it will do is give you a way to keep your resolutions—weight loss and otherwise;
• It is about stopping that inner struggle of pushing and then rebelling;
• Yes, this means releasing the root cause of your Inner Resistance
LOOKING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION
Each year, we spend billions of dollars on losing weight: we ride bikes that go nowhere and climb stairs to the same place; we join gyms, sign up for programs and buy DVD’s; we follow fad after method after plan and even resort to surgery.
So why aren’t we the land of the fit, home of the trim? In fact, sixty-eight percent of us are still overweight or worse.
The problem is that each new beginning so sadly comes with the end; oh, we feel excited because it is fun to imagine how we will be looking and feeling, how others will notice and even be impressed; it can even feel good to start the actual exercising and dieting.
And most of all, we are very, very determined.
The sad part comes when our enthusiasm begins to dim; but that’s no problem—no pain, no gain, right?—so we push a bit, and then find ourselves having to push harder because those inner questions grow more insistent:
It’s time to exercise, now? AND, I can’t eat until when? AND, No desert? Again?
But we keep pushing because we want it so badly—pushing and more pushing until finally we end up pushing back, letting it all go, along with our bodies. Some of us even dive into the worst possible foods and the best possible comfort; and of course, we feel disappointed, even guilty and often disgusted with ourselves.
For us, exercise and dieting have become an endless, pointless cycle of failure.
Why?
LOOKING TOWARD A 180
We keep searching for that next miracle diet, wondrous program or hi-tech machine, while each time hoping, praying, that it will finally give us some control over our weight; but it rarely does—because the answer is NOT OUT THERE.
It never was.
Making changes on the outside only changes us TEMPORARILY, which is why all of those previous weight-loss miracles did not keep working.
Permanent change BEGINS WITHIN. So what is this inner change that will make all the difference?
It is the release of that Inner Resistance we know so well. Without it, losing weight (and keeping any other resolution) will be a very different experience.
Releasing that Resistance is what this book is all about.

Bolero (A Nick Sayler Novel) by Joanie McDonell
Genre(s): KindleStore, Mystery Thriller & Suspense, Crime, Mystery, Private Investigators, amznJQ.onReady(‘hucJS’, function() {});
B olero is one of those rare thrillers you truly can’t put down. Introducing noir detective, Nick Sayler, it is a nonstop ride to an unexpected twist ending.
Despite his bronze star with its prized V for valor, Nick Sayler was once a thief, junkie, and prime suspect in a murder case. Now he’s a mostly changed man, a private investigator with a long list of rich clients and a good life. But even after ten years there’s not enough whiskey in the world to wash away acid-etched memories of Julia Carteret, the beautiful woman who took a bullet meant for him.
He never expected a second chance to make things right until he got a midnight call from a distraught young doctor and a plea from a fragile dancer with no money, no memory, nothing in her pocket except Sayler’s card, and the number 44 carved across her back. With bewitching violet eyes she looks so much like Julia, Sayler thinks keeping her safe could put him back on the road to redemption. But not long after he takes her home to his Hudson River barge, he learns that she has a past as dark as his own, and soon he’s protecting her from a patient sociopath with seemingly preternatural power to be in two places at once.
Sayler needs his wingman Meriwether, the brilliant savant, and his restless backup, Tommy Fallon NYPD homicide, whose dicey investigative methods keep them under the radar, which is the only place to be when Sayler taunts danger. As he nears old secrets linking the dancer to a strange group: a voluptuous redhead, a concert pianist, a skateboarder, and a Polish nanny, he starts to learn why the murderer’s sex-stoked obsession can’t end until the girl is dead. When the killer who never sleeps gets the best of an exhausted Sayler on an isolated island off the coast of Connecticut, in Manhattan’s meatpacking district, and on the streets of Harlem, smart money might bet both ways, except for one sure thing: in spite of his bad leg and worse habits, no matter what the cost, Nick Sayler will not let another woman die.
