FUBAR. The day my life fell apart, I was introduced to this term. It's comforting to know there's one word that completely defines my life. Go ahead. Look it up. And right next to the term, you might see a picture of me as the example, sweltering in a forty-pound princess gown in front of my castle beside a kiddie coaster . . . and flanked by the sexiest piece of man candy that ever walked this earth: Dylan Sheridan. The same Dylan Sheridan who's an Olympic medalist turned MMA fighter turned billionaire entrepreneur.

There's a hot billionaire in the carpool line that has every mom putting on her lipstick before she drops her kid off to school. Me included. But I can't be tempted by a body hewn from granite or eyes that could melt the polar ice caps...because that hot billionaire is also my boss, Ryan Sheridan.

Since graduating from college, I've been juggling two jobs while fostering abandoned dogs, with my sights set on opening a rescue kennel. I'll do whatever it takes to succeed, even if it means fighting back my cravings for the man who's been fueling my fantasies since I got my first taste of him in a hotel elevator. This guy is too full of secrets. Dark ones, hidden behind his ice blue eyes. Secrets of his Special Ops past and of a billionaire family that employs half our town. He won't let me into his world, and it's for the best.

Sent to Screaming Woods to write a magazine piece on its resident monsters, I'm ready to meet hairy beasts, ogres, vampires . . . what I'm not prepared for? A snake man. I'm terrified of snakes.

Once the initial shock of coming face to face with a walking, talking snake passes, I start to see Leroy for the man beneath the monster exterior. And the more I get to know my snake man, the more I realize my biggest fear would be losing him.

Soulwaves: Insertions is an audiobook comprising of 12 short stories. They are wild rides of imagination. It is both the prequel and sequel to the novel Soulwaves: A Future History. The stories straddle the present day and stretch from the beginning to the end of time in this particular Universe. Like the novel that inspired them, they are of course completely fictitious, laced with threads of universal truths. They are complete conjecture and wild rides of the imagination.

Soulwaves is a metaphysical and cosmological adventure across space and time. Soulwaves are the missing dark energy and dark matter that cosmologists can’t find. They bond people to people, moons to planets, planets to stars, and stars to other stars to form galaxies. When this book proper begins in 2059, China has become the predominant force on the world stage. You will discover that events on planet Earth, and all other sentient planets, are nano-managed by greater and even more pervasive forces.

If you feel you are pushing water uphill or perhaps going backwards, this book is for you. Just imagine a successful and fulfilled life where you step into your full power, where you not only perform to your best but also where your talents are truly appreciated and cherished. To some, the thought of becoming the biggest and best version of themselves might fill them with dread. Why put your head above the parapet only for people to take a potshot? Well, just imagine that finding your Big Ü leads you to a place of freedom and unconditional love where others want to join you up on that parapet.

Perhaps unlike any other species on the planet, we have the ability and 'smarts' to influence our own evolution and future. This doesn't necessarily require manipulation of our DNA - although this may be one mechanism we utilize. Merely by thinking and using our imagination, we can change our course. This We Are is as much a celebration as who and what we are as humans as it is a polemic. Its brevity belies its depth. It is a clarion call to each person on this special planet to live the most magnificent life they can.

This is a book about knowing and what it means to know. We don't give our knowledge a second thought, yet some of us would bet considerable amounts of money on what we know. We are proud of our retention of facts. Pub quizzes and TV quiz shows thrive on this seemingly basic desire. We would swear on a bible that the sun will set and rise each day. In fact, the sun stays relatively static as the Earth rotates on its axis giving the illusion of sunset and sunrise.

This book is an introduction to mindfulness and to mindfulness meditation. In addition to exploring the benefits to our health and well-being, as a practical ex-BBC TV engineer, the author explains how we can use the practice of mindfulness meditation to get real-world results.

Have you ever been in "the zone" but not known how you got there? Have you ever been out of "the zone" and wondered how to get back in it?
