It's a way of thinking that is deeply liberating, allowing us to develop the courage to change, and to ignore the limitations that we and other people have placed on us. The result is a book that is both highly accessible and profound in its importance. Millions have already read and benefitted from its wisdom. This truly life-changing book will help you declutter your mind of harmful thoughts and attitudes,...

Secret Admirer: Chapter 1

ForewordThis is a love story, but it's a little different. Two people have a crush on each other, but neither one knows how the other person feels. If you're the kind of person who likes someone more than a friend, go for who you want. You'll never know if the person loves you back. ~AnikaStolen away from her normal life for good, can Zenobia Jones accept that she’s been claimed by the werewolf? Zenobia Jones thought she was scraping by. Her jerk of an ex-fiancé threw her out of the house after she caught him in bed with the neighbor, and now she’s struggling just to keep her head above water long enough to finish her nursing degree. But one desperate trip to a local dive bar results not only in a hot, delicious night with gorgeous billionaire mogul Grant Beal—the best sex she's ever had—but also in the realization that she’s landed herself in the middle of a war between werewolf packs. Not only does Zenobia’s lover happen to be the alpha leader of one of the packs, but the night of pleasure she shared with him left her pregnant. Now, as the mother-to-be of his heir and successor, she has no choice but to flee her old life and stay close to Grant in his mansion—and his bed. Her old life gone for good, can Zenobia find a way to accept her new one and come to find more than just acceptance at the side of the White Wolf—maybe even love? This is part one of a four-part serialized Fantasy Erotic Romance. This part has a length of about 15,000 words. It contains strong sexual content and is not intended for readers under 18.

Burning Garbage

A collection of short stories, this Anthology's anchor title is a powerful story of poetic justice; most of the others in the collection are more light-hearted, and should bring a smile to the reader's face; or possibly leave the reader utterly baffled.The poetry of the Great War had no chances to prevent even greater Disaster. But it does have chance when going through the oldest dream of a man. Even if it ends to a disaster, it has a potential to figure out true friends.

Heyday of Go Astray

The story began in our jolly childhood. Ah Pid was my best friend. Although we were born in the same year; he was born with an innate ability to be better than anyone else. I reckoned that the entire childhood would never be the same without him. If not because of that particular incident; he might have achieved the goal in life. In contrary, I would never have a chance to emulate.The story began in our jolly childhood. Ah Pid was my best friend. He was also the leader of our clique. Although we were born in the same year, raised in the same neighborhood and educated in the same class, he was born with an innate ability to be better than anyone else. I reckoned that the entire childhood would never be the same without him. He was the soul in our clique. Without his present we simply dawdled and stared blank into each other. He had led us to beguile in the swimming pool without any adult, to defy in the kite duel against doyen fellas, to win the title King of the Sky, to salvage me from the distraught of five thousand lines mandatory punishment, to debauch in ludic routine instead of gawked up like a dunce. While everyone was floundering to cope with the school routine, he had already culminated to the top position in the school cohort. While I was surmising in fantasy, he already set forth ambitious to thrive in life. I reckoned that he was a mature mind trapped in a child's body. If not because of that particular incident; he might have achieved his goal in life. In contrary, I would never have a chance to emulate. The incident affected both of us. He was convulsed to a journey of Odyssey. I was defiled with appalling nightmare. After the incident. his dad banished him, he was compelled to adapt and accustom to another way of life. Without him, the clique dissolved of natural death. That had given me an unexpected transition to find a whole new direction. The incident left a permanent scar and latent malignancy in Ah Pid. It had also incurred an invisible defilement that haunted me during the nights, His salient characteristic of volubility was pervaded by a veil of melancholy; our heyday never returned for a long time.
