In Roots & the Remittance Man, a captivating historical fiction, we follow a diverse family tree as its branches converge in the Carrot River Valley of the Northwest Territories in 1902. From Sweden, Muskoka, and Iowa, these intrepid settlers make their way to homestead near Melfort, Saskatchewan.

A Scottish family, burdened by loss from an epidemic, travels by wagon train, finding salvation in a Cree chief. In Sweden, tragedy strikes, and a widowed wife and her daughters board a cattle ship for Halifax. They arrive in Winnipeg, accept a cook position at a Melfort hotel, and embark on a grueling journey through forest and muskeg.

A young Norwegian man walks 700 miles to the United States-Canadian border, immerses himself in Indigenous history, and follows a freight swing to his homestead. Settlers and Indigenous peoples unite against prairie fires, forging bonds that transcend their differences.

Through decades, the family experiences joys and sorrows, weathering the storms of two World Wars, prohibition, swamp fever, the Ku Klux Klan, and the Great Depression. As technology advances, women gain the right to vote and become legally recognized as persons.

At the outset of World War II, a remittance man from Scotland enters the picture, his life becoming significantly entwined with the descendants of these resilient pioneers. Roots & the Remittance Man is a sweeping tale of perseverance, unity, and the indomitable human spirit that shaped the Canadian frontier.

It was in the 1950s that mafia boss, Don Amato Rizoso, determined it was time to enter the lucrative human trafficking business. Five dedicated Rizoso mafia wives stepped up to work tirelessly for one desperate purpose: to rescue innocent girls their cutthroat husbands were trafficking in for modern day sale.

While, operating in a netherworld teeming with greed and corruption, the wives officially opened business after their daring rescue of multiple sex slaves from a mafia-owned opium den. As they adjusted to their life of vigilante justice, they faced near rescue misses, they helped set-up a daring underground railroad, and they took down the notorious Cocaine Queen. Amidst betrayal, mass slaughter, forbidden love, and a son whose secret threatened his life, they learned that fighting for what they believed in was anything but easy. Nevertheless, those amazing mafia wives worked doggedly to take down a family empire built on the bodies of children – even if it meant their own lives.

This book uses a recent writing given by Jesus called, A Course in Miracles, to explain and correct the Christian understanding of God, Jesus, Heaven, the Bible, and the World. After 2000 years we have thousands of Christian denominations with differing theologies and rituals. A Course in Miracles clears up these inconsistencies and contradictions in Christianity and the Bible to present a unified message of love, peace, and forgiveness.

A Course in Miracles answers questions like:

Why are we even here?

What is our purpose?

How can I live a happy and peaceful life regardless of what is happening in the world?

What parts of Christianity are true?

What is God’s will for us?

Why is there so much suffering?

What is God’s true nature?

What was Jesus’ real message?

What is salvation and how do I get to Heaven?

If God wills that none shall perish, why will so many perish and how can I make sure I’m not one of them?

Many practicing Christians, non-practicing Christians, and those leaving the faith are dissatisfied with how the Bible and Christianity explain the purpose of life. Christianity comes up wanting as an explanation for the evidence of life in this world and eternity in Heaven. There Must Be a Better Explanation: God, Jesus, Christianity, Life, and Death, provides answers to life’s questions that are plausible, complete, understandable, realistic, and hopeful.

Welcome to Arcadia…where every dark fantasy can be yours. For a price.

It was supposed to be simple: auction off my virginity to Tennyson Fox, get into his house, and find evidence of a murder he committed years ago. He bids on virgins but doesn’t use them - at least that’s what the Hamiltons told me when I agreed to the job. But what I didn’t count on was my body’s reaction to him or that when he makes me his, I want it to be real. When he teaches me about submission, I want to give him everything. His whips and restraints make me feel more cared for than anything else ever has. Yet I’m lying to him. And once he finds out I’m afraid he’ll send me away forever.

Tennyson

Everything went up in smoke the moment I saw her. I’ve worked hard to rise above my dark past - I started a successful business and pulled myself and my daughter up from the gutter. By day I’m a respectable CEO and father. By night, I’m a Dom who wields a firm hand in the club with my subs. I also bid on virgins trying to sell their bodies for money. I don’t take them – I save them. Until her. When I see her standing there in the club, offering herself to the highest bidder, one thing is clear: she will be mine.

Every civilization in history has faced moments of overwhelming existential crises, and they all eventually collapsed. Was this failure inherent in the evolution of civilization, something within the human species, or a combination of both? More importantly, was it predictable and unavoidable? Most civilizations believed they had a special relationship with the divine and were beyond the laws of nature. Our current economic civilization is now global and interdependent. Today’s economy is responsible for the most rapid mass extinction in Earth’s history. We face imminent catastrophic climate change and environmental disruption, yet the same sense of exceptionalism and hubris clouds humanity’s judgement and ability to act rationally.

Environmental disruption is making the planet uninhabitable. No economy can consume its way out of scarcity. This law of nature conflicts with many longstanding economic theories. Sheltered and self-absorbed elitists promote lies and prey on humanity’s most vulnerable instincts of pecking order, conformity, and obedience to authority. These primal instincts may be maladapted to civilization in its current form. Today’s elitists are choosing mass extinction in a false belief in their own invincibility. To survive, humanity can no longer follow delusional leaders to self-destruction.

In non-technical language, the author explores common phases in the development of past civilizations, and the critical junctures and decisions that made collapse inevitable. He investigates the linkages and contradictions between human social behavior, the economy, and the environment. In the closing pages, he identifies a clear path to redemption.

Doctor Gideon Teague is ready to call it quits as he nears the end of his medical training. Years of continuous hard work and the specter of tragedy following him from his time as a Marine have taken a heavy toll and his physical and emotional reserves are spent. In the nick of time, an opportunity for a mission trip to Honduras seems like just the ticket to rekindle a long dead spark of passion and adventure; and to escape the day-to-day drudgery of his life as a resident physician.  While there, he and a pragmatic service missionary named Eliza are violently sucked into the vast criminal underworld infecting the region. To save themselves from being trafficked, Gideon will have to embrace the military experience he’d forsaken and confront the ghosts that drove him away. Will it be enough, or will he lose what little of his self-identity remains?

Illinois 1000 is a quick dive into the lives of the English and the Indians of the Upper Midwest a thousand years ago.

Building on The Year 1000 by British historians Robert Lacey and Danny Danzinger, the author moves from one side of the Atlantic to the other. The contrasts are as much from the past to the present as between the two very different cultures. ‘Primitive’ is often used to describe the Indians’ way of life, and not without at least some reason. So much of what characterized and made English life possible was entirely absent in North America.

Yet, centuries later, hundreds, even thousands of Europeans joined the Indians, preferring their way of living to that which they had known in Europe or colonial America. The Indians, the first people, survived and prospered in what was at that time not amber fields of grain but a very ungenerous landscape. If they were brutal, they were hardly unique. In their affinity to the earth they lived on, there were few like them.

When billionaire Houston socialite Richard Fairchild is found dead under suspicious circumstances, his wife Mariah refuses to accept the police verdict of suicide. Desperate for answers, she recruits small-town radio owners Delilah Morgan and Norma Davis to investigate. She offers the struggling entrepreneurs compensation they can’t refuse – $20,000 each, a bailout for their failing station, and an all-expenses paid trip to Mariah’s Hill Country resort.

At first reluctant, Delilah and Norma soon find themselves embroiled in the glitzy Houston elite circles the Fairchilds inhabited. With a list of suspects who had motive to kill Richard, the duo follow a trail of lies, affairs, and shady business deals. The stakes grow ever higher as it becomes clear the Fairchild legacy – and their own lives – are in danger. From Texas hill country horse ranches to slick Houston high-rises, Delilah and Norma uncover adultery, blackmail, rivalry… and murder. But will the radio sleuths solve the mystery before the killer silences them too?

Jennifer Murphy, deputy sheriff in a small town in New Mexico, has closed her heart to love. She throws herself into her job as well as running the ranch she and her brother, Ethan, inherited from their parents. Ethan’s wanderlust has taken him away in search of odd jobs. When he returns home, Jennifer entices him to stay for a while by telling him about Alchemy, a ghost town, once drowned by a reservoir, but now exposed by drought. Local barflies think there is treasure buried there. Others believe it is cursed. Intrigued, Ethan packs up his dog, Fi, and heads to the town. What happens at Alchemy will change Jen’s life forever, but will it open her heart to love?

Life and death are merged in the terror of unrelenting global violence. Rooting Out Violence describes a model, ‘Healthy Sensory-Emotional Integration,’ with the scope to help adults assess the human capacity for violence in themselves, in members of their communities, as well as, in leaders of their countries. The book provides a violence prevention model to mitigate trauma and human rights violations throughout our lifespans and throughout the world. Healthy Sensory-Emotional Integration is a public health model that is understandable and achievable globally.

The manuscript identifies how blind-sighted we have been historically by not emphasizing the number one variable in the capacity to commit a violent crime; for funding violence prevention in institutional siloes, such as, corrections and child protection programs, when the inner nature of each of us counts; and excluding comprehensive research on preventing trauma, not just funding treatment strategies.

Five talented narrators knit together the stories of five children from different countries who settle in the same Lower East Side apartment building. Listeners meet Jenny Epstein

Camille Delaney returns with another investigation—and this time it’s personal.

Shackled to her bed against the pleas of the medical staff, Charli Zhao gives birth to a beautiful daughter she names Willow. Charli had been transported to the hospital from prison, where she is serving time for a crime she didn’t commit. Within hours of the birth, the unthinkable happens: the newborn is abducted, leaving Charli devastated and wondering if she’ll ever find her child, even after she gets free.

Attorney Camille Delaney isn’t used to the inside of women’s prisons—she works in courtrooms. But when a local legal aid group recruits her to help with a case on the inside, she feels drawn to these women’s stories. They are often so similar—a lifetime of trauma culminating in the heartbreaking and often permanent loss of custody of their children, even after they’ve served their time and gotten clean.

When Camille meets Charli, it’s been years since Willow was abducted, and the case has gone cold. But there’s something about Charli’s story—and Charli herself—that Camille can’t refuse. With the help of her trusted friend and private investigator Trish Seaholm, Camille begins a dogged pursuit to find Charli’s daughter and bring the man who framed Charli to justice. As Camille’s quest for the truth takes her team from Seattle to the San Juan Islands to the mountains of Olympic National Park, she must reckon with a system that routinely dismisses the rights of convicted mothers—and has their children pay the price.

Poor Lydia Davidson. On the very morning she is about to fly to Europe for a two-week business trip, she gets a call from her angry boss informing her that she neglected to get her travel physical done. He then orders her to get herself to a nearby walk-in clinic--the only one open at this early hour--or risk losing her job.

Poor Brian Davidson. It's bad enough that, due to his beautiful wife’s extreme modesty in the bedroom, he goes through his days sexually frustrated and unfulfilled. But now, she's going away for two weeks, leaving him even more frustrated than usual.

Then, upon arriving at the clinic, Lydia and Brian receive the biggest shock of their lives: The only doctor on duty is Brian's brother Adam. And Adam, who's always been jealous of Brian, isn't about to let a gorgeous and shapely woman like Lydia off without putting her through the works.

In other words, Lydia is about to undergo the most embarrassing, debasing examination imaginable. And talk about comprehensive. Those sticklers in Europe sure are strict with their medical requirements!

And Brian? Well, he isn’t about to go wait out front during this exam--not with his wife naked on the other side of the curtain...and at the hands of his own brother! He peeps in around the edge of the curtain and…

Yowza! There's his wife—assuming positions he would have killed to get her in, driving him mad with desire. And argh! There's his brother--feeling and probing his own wife in ways he'd never been allowed to enjoy.

Lydia is humiliated to the hilt. And Brian is horny and jealous to the hilt. There’s no telling what can happen from here. But one thing is for sure: Brian is not about to walk away from that clinic empty-handed!

Boy, is Tom Andrews angry! Here he is, trying to enjoy his fortieth birthday party at his mom’s and dad’s house, and his wife Debbie is being her typical overbearing, domineering, controlling self. Sure, he’s used to her and her bossy ways. But of all days for Debbie to be nagging him and criticizing him! And in front of all their guests, too!

But if he thinks he’s mad, just wait until Debbie goes a bit too far with her nagging. Now, his dad is even angrier at her for not only ruining his son’s birthday but also for causing him a whole lot of frustration over the years by never allowing him to really enjoy himself when they’re having sex. First, she’s too controlling. Second, thanks to her extreme modesty, she never lets him enjoy her body to the extent that he would like.

Yes, Tom’s dad sure is mad. And that’s not a good thing because, first, he has a vicious temper, and, second, as headmaster of a backwoods boarding school, he had a history of getting misbehaving young women over his knee for some good old corporal punishment.

So, to the shock of everyone present, he decides that he’s had just about enough of Debbie’s domineering behavior. Right then and there, he administers a thorough, bare-bottom spanking to her—right out in the middle of the living room and in front of all their guests!

Well, Tom is sure having a happy birthday now! He’s never before had quite as much of an eyeful of his wife's delicious curves—nor has he ever seen how cute she is when she’s controlled, submissive, vulnerable, and dominated. This is just fantastic!

Even better, his dad then orders Debbie and Tom to go upstairs to the guestroom so that, for the first time ever, Tom can be the boss and make his birthday truly spectacular by enjoying his wife in any way he chooses!

Dave Wilson could quite possibly be the world’s most frustrated husband. Ever since his wife Annie was promoted to Chief Operations Officer at SM Global, with a salary of more than a half-million dollars a year, she's become even bossier and more demanding at home than usual. Worse, the busier she gets, the less time and interest she has in sex.

He really should say something. But how can any man presume to make demands on a woman who’s now earning five times his salary?

But all that changes when he and Annie are called in to a meeting with the company VP Blair Stevenson. This cold, hard-driving young executive has some disturbing news for Annie. Ever since she started her new position, she's been overstepping her job description by trying to fix, remake, and undo everything she finds fault with

Well, Blair is having none of that! He informs Annie that if she wants to keep her job, she must be punished. And the method of punishment he's chosen is an over-the-knee spanking!

Annie is mortified--not to mention humiliated out of her mind.

And that's not the worst part. Following her spanking, Annie is informed that she is also in need of training" in the art of following orders. And

Drew and Betty Stevens have such a great life. He's a river cruise boat captain who spends his weeks on the Seine River surrounded by gorgeous French countryside. She’s a tour guide working on the same boat!

Ah, life is good. And it's about to get better. One morning, Drew and Betty are approached by a human resources director for the cruise line, who informs them that Betty is being promoted to cruise director!

There's just one slight problem: Before this promotion can move forward, the HR director, Jerome Ferguson, needs to be convinced that Betty will be ready, willing, and able to take any and all orders from her husband, who will now be her boss.

Betty assures Ferguson that she is up for the task. But he wants proof. He wants a demonstration." And this demonstration will consist of Drew issuing her a string of commands that are sufficiently "difficult" for Betty to carry out.

And to Jerome Ferguson

When shy freshman Leah Keller arrives at a pool party hosted by the dean of her college, wearing her first-ever bikini, she’s already flustered to the hilt. After all, the dean and many of her classmates can now see about eighty percent of her toned, nubile body.

But that’s nothing compared with the degree of humiliation she must endure after suffering a minor injury when diving into the pool. The dean’s son, Noah, is a pre-med student. He’ll know what to do.

Oh, he knows what to do, all right! He knows that, in order to perform a proper examination on this cute, shivering honey, that bikini is going to have to come off—right out on the patio where the light is better (and where everyone is looking on). And he’s going to have to examine her very thoroughly!

How thoroughly?

So thoroughly that Leah is humiliated beyond her wildest nightmares!

So thoroughly that Noah is aroused beyond his wildest dreams!

So thoroughly that, after Leah’s exam from hell, when she is taking a much-needed shower, Noah just might have to make her shower…extra special. Of course, that means he’ll have to help her get “extra clean.”

And that means he’ll have to get “extra dirty”!

The shadows of fascism have never truly disappeared. In 2025, as the world faces political, economic, and social instability, the specter of authoritarianism rises once more. Fascism, once embodied by figures like Mussolini and Hitler, has taken on new forms—repackaged as nationalism and populism in response to crises.

Donald Trump’s presidency and continued influence have highlighted the fragility of democratic systems, illustrating how easily populist rhetoric can mask authoritarian tendencies. His divisive approach, disregard for truth, and appeal to nationalism are part of a broader movement that threatens to unravel the very fabric of democracy.

This audiobook explores fascism's resurgence in the modern age. We’ll trace its reemergence through figures like Trump, the manipulation of media, and the erosion of democratic values. Understanding these dangers is more than a historical exercise—it’s a call to recognize and resist the forces that seek to dismantle freedom and justice.

Written and narrated by Geoffrey Giuliano, an Emmy-nominated actor and internationally bestselling author, this collection provides a vital exploration of how fascism is evolving and what we can do to stop it.

For centuries, sacred teachings have hinted at the deeper truths of reincarnation, yet much of this knowledge remains hidden from the uninitiated. The ancient Vedas, the oldest and most profound scriptures of human wisdom, speak of the eternal soul's journey through countless lifetimes, guided by karma and the laws of transmigration. But what are the actual mechanics behind reincarnation? What hidden forces govern this process?

Here Sripad Jagannatha Das—renowned devotional yoga master, best-selling author, and Emmy-nominated actor—unveils these ancient secrets, offering a deeper understanding of the soul’s journey beyond the physical realm. Drawing upon the sacred teachings of the Vedas, Upanishads, and other revered texts, he illuminates the hidden laws of karma, the intricate web of cause and effect that binds the soul to the cycle of life, death, and rebirth.

The Vedic wisdom reveals that death is not an end but a transition—a sacred moment when the soul, free from the constraints of the body, continues its journey along the path of transmigration. As the soul leaves one body, it carries with it the accumulated experiences, desires, and impressions of past lives—each choice and each action leaving an indelible mark that shapes the next incarnation. Through this process, the soul either ascends toward higher realms of consciousness or descends into a new cycle of learning, purification, and growth.

Das draws upon his deep spiritual understanding and lifetime of study to reveal how ancient laws govern the soul’s journey in plain sight in the Vedic texts—rules that are as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago. These teachings offer profound insights into the mechanics of reincarnation, the nature of consciousness, the role of divine intervention, and

But how is this possible? And what is the true nature of immortality?

With more than fifty years of spiritual dedication, Das provides deep insight into the extraordinary potential of the human body, teaching us how, through yoga, discipline, and divine knowledge, we can unlock the secret of immortality.

Drawing from the rich traditions of tantra, yoga, and Vedic philosophy, Jagannatha explains the influential art of Kaya Kalpa. This practice can halt aging, restore vitality, and even heal the body at its deepest level. By mastering this practice, the yogi learns to transcend the fear of death and discovers the true nature of the soul’s indestructibility.

This audiobook is not merely a guide to a spiritual practice—it is a doorway to understanding the very nature of life, death, and immortality.

For most of us, the varied parts of our personalities are woven together and unified by our memories. But what happens when we have no memories? What happens when the components of memory (facts, feelings, and body states) are split apart and no longer relate to each other?

When this story began more than 40 years ago, doctors and psychiatrists were mystified by patients with more than one personality. The diagnosis at the time was Multiple Personality Disorder. Lillian was afflicted with this condition owing to severe abuse during her childhood. Her mind held each trauma separately. Each personality took over her body, developing a life and personality of its own.

Lillian’s aunt, Jean, became friends with 22 personalities. She played hide and seek with four-year-old Mary, taught five-year-old Amy to write, shopped for undergarments with Robin Jean, and communicated endlessly with each of the others. In the process, each personality revealed its beginnings. Over time, each personality revealed its own memories of their trauma and eventually became integrated.

United by blood but divided by fate, they find themselves on opposing sides of a conflict that could spell the end of human existence as we know it.

Hello,

My sweet little friend!

This tiny book has a wonderful and mysterious story to tell you...

Perhaps we could even call it a little miracle of nature.

A miracle that only a few chosen ones have witnessed.

The Secret of the Bubble Bees is more than just a simple book and a fairy tale. It is a concept which has been designed to inspire imagination, creativity, and mindset development in children, in a value-based growth environment.

What is the secret power that the world’s winners possess? Can you get more of it for yourself? Can it help you overcome your challenges in your work, in your relationships, in your health, and on the battlefield of daily life?

Paramhansa Yogananda (author of the spiritual classic, Autobiography of a Yogi) assures us that the power of magnetism is well within our reach if we learn the scientific method to increase it. He promised that, in time, the methods he taught would give us the magnetic power to “stand unshaken amidst the crash of breaking worlds.”

Yogananda introduced an approach to personal development that rests on a foundation of timeless ancient truths adapted for our present, scientifically curious age of energy-awareness. You can use these teachings now to:

“Let us soar in the Ark of Silence over the peaks of the highest wisdom, and let us roam in the land of endless beauty. Let us get rich richer by acquiring the great wealth of peace, and become peace-millionaires.”

Paramhansa Yogananda came to the United States from India in 1920, bringing to the West the teachings and techniques of yoga, the ancient science of soul awakening. He was the first master of yoga to make his home in the West, and his Autobiography of a Yogi quickly became a worldwide bestseller, fueling the awakening fascination with Eastern teachings in the West.

Responding to many recent calls for redress and restitution, Richardson summarises the historical and current situation and attributes its problematics to the fact that theorists and historians have taken the concept art as a generic that includes both design and craft – which are actually and validly distinguishable from art by application of the concept function/al ­– or else ignored the two entirely. Considering the concept function/al, he maintains, calls into question the view that the three may be sub-classes of the one class: whereas in a work of art, typically there is a resolution of the tension between form and content, in works of design and craft the resolution is between form and function. How this recognition can clarify the issue informs the entire book.

The book’s other major thesis is the realisation that aesthetic values are inherently human and that, therefore, they apply not only to art but to life in general. Far from being frivolous or a mere ‘emotion’, the aesthetic is a sense of equivalent psychic status to sight and hearing ­and, like them, is employed at almost every moment of our daily lives – which fact grounds art, design and craft deeply in human life. This is reflected in the universal use of the human form (including the exhibition of sexual characteristics) in art.

The eternal conflict between making art and making a living from making art is examined and contrasted to the rarely-recognised, but positive, role of design in planning and industry.

Richardson also critiques common theories of representation and composition, including ‘creativity’, Albertian perspective and scientific and geometric theories of beauty and composition; also the relevance of the camera and the computer in the field.

In a world transformed by apocalypse, the familiar landscapes of life are forever altered. Power struggles dominate the scorched continent as the Theodolis and Razors clash for dominance, while the Settlers and Wanderers yearn for a lasting peace.

Amidst the turmoil, Oda, a determined Settler, is captured by Kemp, the tyrannical leader of the Razor colonies. Held in his cruel grasp, she becomes a pawn in his games of power and possession. As she confronts the grim rituals of adulthood under Kemp’s rule, Oda grapples with her identity, fighting to preserve her mind from his twisted machinations.

The overgrown wilderness offers both threat and solace as Oda seeks an escape. Along her perilous journey, unexpected love emerges, alongside a deep longing for harmony. But in a land where passions run rampant and violence is the new normal, revenge looms large, and every breath could be her last.
