The PureLights of Ohm Totem (Book I of The PureLights Fantasy Series) by Omon Hart
Genre(s): Science Fiction & Fantasy, Fantasy & Magic, Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction, Metaphysical, Teens, Fantasy
“ Two children from a forgotten land, ancestors of the Island of Ohm Totem, one being of the night walkers and the other of the sacred heart, will purify the energies, bring back the old ways, and unite the PureLights once again, putting an end to the coming Shiver.”
~ Windstorm Prophecy
Zoey and Coda are like everyone else in their small town of Gladstone, but that’s about to change – forever.
Zoey has a dream, one that feels far more real than it should. A strange wolf with a beautiful violet crystal embedded in his forehead visits her. “Please help us,” the wolf implores with sad eyes. “Remember, Zoey, who you truly are.” Zoey wakes up, dismissing it as a silly dream. However, she soon realizes that it was far more real than she could’ve ever imagined.
Coda is Zoey’s older brother. Like many boys his age, he has a craving for adventure and a loathing for his younger sister. He can’t stand it that she constantly gets in his way, joining in on all his fun, and ruining it in the process. The worst, according to Coda, is that Zoey gets all the attention from their parents. A big drag in his mind.
Then destiny arrives, one that Zoey and Coda must face together – if they want to survive.
Together, they journey to a place deep in the Cornell Forest, beyond the Snow Tree, through a patch of blackberry bushes concealing a secret portal that leads them to an ancient world called Ohm Totem – to the place of the PureLights, the race beckoning for their help. There, Zoey and Coda discover something so unique, so magical, and so sacred within themselves, that even those who called for them could not have known how powerful these two children really are.
Caught between an age old war and finding their way back home, Zoey and Coda go on an amazing adventure, taking them beyond the veils of everything they once knew, and into the terrifying grasp of the unknown.
With the storytelling creativity of authors like C.S. Lewis of the Chronicles of Narnia and the writing acumen of Erin Hunter of the Warriors and Seekers series, Omon Hart offers a captivating novel showcasing his skill and ingenuity as a storyteller. He’s an author to watch.
The PureLights of Ohm Totem is Book I of an ongoing series. Book II, The PureLights & the PureLight Order, is soon to arrive on Amazon.

Aris: A Sexy Romance Novel (Thief of Hearts Series Book 1) by Elody Knight
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Romance, Contemporary, Gothic, Paranormal
F ollow Aris in his adventure: an action story about romance and love.
Aris tucked the barrel of his 9mm Beretta into the small of his back. “SEER sha.” he repeated, having never heard the name before. The sound of it rolled off his tongue with the silky ease of a French kiss.
“It’s Gaelic.” she said, as if the fire in her demeanor hadn’t already told him that. “Maybe your boy over there should move faster getting that trash can over here before she throws up on your shoe tops.”
This woman was no ordinary hostage, but then again, this wasn’t a run of the mill bank robbery.
Armed with the idea that they were sent to end evil in the world, Aris and his team know that when you steal money from a bank, the government prints more. After all, it’s only paper, until something goes horribly wrong.
Lives change forever on a warm sunny summer afternoon. A man dies, another is injured, a traitor is left behind, and one man’s heart is taken.
It’s only after things return to normal that Aris becomes aware that his thoughts are not where they should be. His body yearns for something he’s only barely tasted. His heart is heavy with the burden of what he cannot have. Exhausting himself by day is the only way the still of the night doesn’t become sheer torment. Lesser men would break and surrender, but Aris is not a weak man.
The impossible has to happen and Aris is determined it will. From squalor to poverty to a budget the size of a small nation, famine to fed, illiterate to educated, chaotic masses to well run organization, the pieces fall into place one by one over the course of seven years that lead him back to where his heart was lost.
“Ah. Rescuing a damsel in distress always puts a man on a pedestal in a woman’s eyes.” he rolled his eyes.
“You tore my skirt, dropped my Choo’s in the dirt, duct taped me to a stolen helicopter, and as if that wasn’t enough fun for one day, I got to spend the rest of the week with the Feds. Oh, a pedestal by all means. How about a pedestal called the gallows!” she didn’t realize she was squeezing him as she got more wound up.
He would have liked nothing better at the moment than to wrap both of his arms around her, but this was a very upscale establishment where there were norms that had to be observed. Instead, he pulled her closer to him putting his hip back between hers, where they had started on the dance floor. His breath on her neck caused a shiver down her spine causing her hips to tilt into his. The fact that she noticed how well endowed he was made her that much angrier.
Saoirse had held him captive for entirely too long and things were about to change.

Simply Serene: How to Calm Down, Reduce Stress, Deal with Stress, and Be Instantly Alert and at Peace by William Wittmann
Genre(s): Health Fitness & Dieting, Alternative Medicine, Self-Help, Stress Management, Meditation
W hen stress has you whimpering or acting like a troll in some fairy tale, ready to rip off heads, you are not at your best. You are the proverbial toddler who needs a nap and some food. Could anything be more obvious?
Simply Serene will show you four amazingly powerful methods that will successfully help you to defeat stress, to be fully alert, and to be serene so you can operate at your peak potential.
YOU WILL LEARN
1. How to Calm Down
2. How to Reduce Stress
3. How to Deal with Stress
4. And How to Be Instantly Alert and at Peace Simultaneously. It’s all very cool.
That’s your mission. By the end of this manual -
You will know how to be simply serene at any time.
You will know how to choose between FOUR TIME-TESTED, SURE-FIRE METHODS to get the best personal results in the moment.
You will know how to defeat stress.
You will know how to turn off self-doubt, anxiety, fear, worry, fretting, hopelessness, overwhelm, and depression.
You will know how to pull back from the fight-flight response, thereby allowing you to act from a calm, yet alert state.
You will be able to operate more powerfully.
You will steadily move closer to your peak potential using these four methods.
From a peaceful, calm state, you can take the steps to creating the life you truly love.
A SURPRISE BENEFIT
One of the benefits of being serene may surprise you. When you are still and serene, your creative mind opens up and presents you with the solutions to your problems and helps you to create the life you want. It is wonderful.
You are also more playful. And …
Playfulness is the heart of creativity.
Playfulness is the power for peak performance.
WHAT DO YOU IMAGINE WHEN I SAY SERENE?
Can you imagine you are completely relaxed and yet completely aware? You are breathing slowly and deeply with full attention. The whole world appears different. You feel wonderful. You are mellow, peaceful, content, and conscious.
Some like to think of this as being deeply relaxed while simultaneously being fully awake and alert.
Back in the sixties and early seventies, many young people and some not so young people experimented with mind-altering drugs. The quest to expand the mind was right on target, but the means (illegal drugs) abandoned people to disillusionment and, at worst, ruined lives.
When people use drugs, whether pharmaceutical or illegal, to achieve relaxation or alertness, there are side effects. The Simply Serene Methods don’t have a “druggy” feeling, but generate real serenity from within.
All humans throughout history have explored consciousness. It is our destiny. We call it many things: Heaven on Earth, Enlightenment, Nirvana, Paradise. It is all the same.
The four methods in Simply Serene help you to realize Heaven on Earth.
FEEL IT NOW – AN EXERCISE
Take a few uninterrupted quiet minutes and remember a time of being truly serene and having peace of mind. If no memory comes to mind, imagine a time.
As you go through your day and your week in your imagination, what does your life look like when you are serene?
How does your body feel, what sensations do you have when you are serene?
As you imagine yourself being serene, what setting are you in?
Now, what do you imagine when I say:
* Awake
* Aware
* Rested
* Happy
* Content
* Creative
Take another minute, build up the scene in your imagination, and now imagine yourself feeling and living your life being awake, aware, rested, happy, content, creative, and serene.
As you faithfully do this exercise, you can see how good your life can be.
Remember your mission – having a life you wholeheartedly love.
If this resonates with you and you want to learn How to Calm Down, Reduce Stress, Deal with Stress, and Be Instantly Alert and at Peace, then be sure to get Simply Serene.

O ur world seems normal, one governed by logic, science, and natural laws.
But we don’t realize that magic exists in many forms all around us.
The US Government does however, and they will go to any lengths to hide all evidence of magic’s existence to protect the citizens from the sinister forces that lurk in the dark periphery of our vision.
___________________________________________________________________________
Cadan Johnson lived a seemingly ordinary life. He was on the soccer and cross country teams and had a loving family. But one thing about the Johnsons made them very unordinary- they could perform magic.
When a mysterious spell on his school counselor backfires, Cadan is faced with the realization that everything he thought he knew about his family has been a lie. He leaves his home to search out the identities of his real parents, but before he can discover the truth, he is tracked down by another group of magic-wielders, this time sent by the government.
The top-secret Department of Magic was set up in the 1930s when the U.S. government became aware of the existence of mages and fantastical creatures. For the last eighty years, the agency has been commissioned with searching out and detaining these magical beings, and making sure everyone else believes they are no more than myth.
Now a detainee within the Department, Cadan quickly realizes the truth – that not everything in this world is quite as it seems. The Femme Fatales, a world famous all-female pop group is actually a troupe of fairies. And Tyler Knox, the teen heartthrob, is secretly an elf who has had to alter his ears before appearing in movies.
Now a rookie agent, Cadan begins to train with his new team of misfit operatives, among them one boy with four arms who is afraid of the dark, another with black wings, and an elf with anger management issues. The group fights constantly, their training sessions are disasters, and to top it off, the leader of the team hates him. But when one of the leaders initiates a plan to destroy the Department, the only thing that stands in his way is Cadan and his ragtag band. With the fate of the Department at stake, will they be able to stop the rogue agent and his forces?

Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Short Stories, Single Author, Mystery Thriller & Suspense, Thrillers, Suspense
S uspense, Love, Murder, Revenge. An elegant dinner party is thrown, the guests blackmailed, the host absent.
The mysterious host has gathered together all those whom have wronged him in his life with the intent of seeking his revenge. But the suspicious young man in the worn tweed jacket anxiously fingers a gun in his pocket, waiting for the host to arrive.
An excerpt–
A shuffle past the arch caught his attention. Past the arch imported from italy, past the two wide marble pillars with great veins of white, and on down the hallway lit with grand chandeliers, leaned a man against the wall covered in shadow, a cigarette peeking out of his mouth, illuminating his face in a glow of red, his eyes covered by a black fedora. He wore a powerful grin. Chuckling, the man in the hall took a long drag, took his time with the exhale of effortless smoke rings. When he spoke, he did so without revealing his eyes. “Mr. Johnson, I believe. Yes, it is you, isn’t it? I should have known it would be you who would start the riot. Please, I would consider it a personal offense if you left before dinner arrived.” His voice then took a dark turn as he uttered the malevolent words, “Sit back down.”
Mr. Johnson’s eye’s opened wide as he recognized the face in the hall, that nameless smile. “You’ve been here the whole time? You, sir, led me here in good faith.”
“Good faith,” spoke the man in the hall, “You don’t know the meaning of faith! I assure you, you have not an inkling on the matter. And as for ‘good’, Mr. Johnson, you are nothing of the kind, not one spec of goodness hangs about your loathsome person, your horrendous ideals, your shot ‘em in the back business practices or your exploitative mannerism and back room dealings. No, sir, do not point your finger at me! No, sir, do not try to raise your voice! For once in your life you will be silenced. Even the tycoon of a stolen empire deserves an iota of humility before he dies!”

DESCRIPTION
We are all visual learners, at least in part. We absorb information visually more than in any other way. Yet, visual literacy is mostly missing from mainstream education. So, how can elementary school students visually represent information and ideas to improve their ability to build on what they already know, think critically, and learn meaningfully?
This question is the central theme of Mind Mapping for Kids. MMFK offers elementary school teachers a blueprint for how to introduce mind maps in their classrooms to help students think more rigorously and increase engagement by transforming linear, static information into connected, dynamic maps.
Part I of the book discusses the fundamentals of mind mapping for teachers, parents, and students. Part II demonstrates how to use mind maps and the eight reading comprehension strategies to help students develop critical thinking and better comprehend what they’re reading. Part III provides 15 examples of mind mapping uses in school and at home and 5 templates to use in the classroom.
Give mind maps a try. They can be used independently or in conjunction with other literacy instruction programs. Either way, they will bring fun and excitement to the classroom while simultaneously improving thinking, reading, and learning.

Fate intervenes, and when Prudenza gives birth to twin daughters, she is desperate to save herself from the same scandal that ruined Felicia. She orders the midwife to take one daughter away. With only a gold ring and a brocade blanket as clues to the infant’s past, the midwife leaves the child and the items in an olive tree in front of a small convent. The nuns lovingly name the child Olivia and raise her.
Years later, in a shocking encounter, Olivia meets a young man named Luca. When an act of God nearly kills her, it is Luca who comes to her rescue. Soon, their love for each cannot be denied. When she finds herself with child, Luca offers to care for her and the child, but cannot wed her because he is already betrothed. Despite her misgivings, her love for Luca proves strong and Olivia places her faith in him and follows him to his new villa and a new life. Luca makes numerous unsuccessful attempts to avoid his forthcoming marriage and marry Olivia instead, but the blood oath and Church laws make it impossible. As the date of Luca’s wedding draws near, and the secrets of Olivia’s secret past begin to surface, long buried secrets are exposed in a twist of fate no family member can anticipate.
