Deadly Pretty Strangers: One dead body, one bereaved mother, one small favour ...
by Max Thorn
Average rating on Goodreads: 4.27

 ‘Help me find out who killed my son. Please.’ A heartfelt plea. And a little money involved.  An ordinary cityworker tries to help out a bereaved old lady. If he’d known it would lead to a confrontation with Russian murderers using an outlawed nerve agent on the streets of London, a pretty sharpshooter with unreliable motives and a deadly spider scuttling around his living room, he’d have kept his front door firmly closed. A long-forgotten genetic research experiment just makes things even stranger. And more deadly.

The Dirty Truth
by T.J. Anderson
Genres: Biography, Romance, Psychology, Sports Romance, Nonfiction
Average rating on Goodreads: 4.29

Warning this book contains highly sexual material. This book brings to light, sex in hockey, and how common group sex has become over the past several years. It contains confessional short stories from various Puck Bunnies, player´s girlfriends, players and fans. I wrote this book to open peoples eyes to the new "Media Generation" of teenagers that openly participate in group sex. I do not form any opinions and have left it up to the readers to form their own opinions and views on the book and how they feel towards this sub-culture. Some girls are proud of their sexual exploits with hockey players and many of the player´s girlfriends talk about how they deal with the rumours and the Puck Bunnies. The players discuss the Puck Bunnies, as well as the fans and stalkers.This book contains real truths of a sub-culture that was, is and will likely continue to happen, in the world of sports and foremost hockey.The content is written in a non-judgemental way and with no sarcasm or finger pointing.The book may be a hard read and difficult for some to swallow, but, believe you me, this sub-culture exists, even if the players change from year to year.

Just Around The Bend: Más o Menos
by Renée Paule
Genres: Philosophy, Inspirational, Self Help, Nonfiction, Spirituality
Average rating on Goodreads: 4.47

Apparently, just around the bend is everything we’ve been looking forward to including world peace, winning the lottery and a blissful retirement. Regrettably, the energy and drive most of us need to enjoy them, should they materialise, have been left way behind us. The buzz word is ‘Now’ but somehow we always seem to be either side of it. Perhaps we’re too busy with the rituals of daily life to consider what homilies like ‘Know Thyself’, and ‘Who am I?’ really mean. Maybe we missed something along the way, or prefer to live with the mystery of it all - contenting ourselves with ‘poster’ philosophy. However, if ‘poster’ philosophy leaves you feeling dissatisfied, then this book, which covers a range of mind-stretching topics, might be just what you’re looking for.

The Unwords
by Non Nomen
Genres: Poetry, Nonfiction, Philosophy, Amazon, Sociology, Adult, Linguistics
Average rating on Goodreads: 3.63

"There is nothing more dangerous...than a character with no author."*This is the first edtition of The Unwords and it is now out of print. It was only available for a limited number of copies exclusively through the author's official website in 2012. The second edition was published in 2013 by Fearache Publishings and it's available worldwide through all major book retailers in paperback, hardcover, and available exclusively from Amazon in eBook format.*A nameless character. A faceless figure. A disturbing, thought-provoking journey through the facts of the world we live in that we often refuse to acknowledge. The Unwords take full advantage of their author's lack of identity and extreme levels of introspection as they unleash a full scale attack on all fronts of cultural and social decay. Education, religion, politics, language, relationships and common every day social activities are stripped down to their bare foundations and deconstructed through the eyes of a man who considers every act of deceit as an act of war against the people he loves. Poetic verse blends seamlessly with the arts in the form of full page illustrations to create a new, refreshing form of writing the author describes as “Graphic-verse.”Words are meant to be spoken. In a dishonest world, what remains unspoken can only be the truth. In a dishonest world......the pen is never mightier than the sword.

The comfort, wisdom and the eternal answers to questions which we all seek are finally, stunningly revealed.These are genuine life and death stories of real people. As a medium and channel, Collette Sinclaire has brought their life stories and information forward for you. These are the honest and heartfelt narratives of lives lost, loves lost, opportunities taken and opportunities missed. You will read about great achievement and great heartbreak. You will learn some of the reasons why we are here, what it feels like to die and what awaits us on the other side. Collette has endured the difficult process of being the conduit for these souls to be able to tell their personal and often difficult tales of life and death, to be presented here. They have been related through her for all of us to better understand why we are here and that we are all the same underneath. That what we are all looking for is basically the same, but rarely do we recognize our deep inner need for happiness through fulfillment of our soul's true calling; that is, those things which we seem to hear from our conscience, or that "inner voice" that spurs you to follow your dreams and your heart. This book is the culmination of many years of interviews with the dead. These chronicles of lives lived, though sometimes sorrowful, are not meant to sadden you, but to light the way to understanding. It is each soul's hope that by learning from their own life lessons - both from lessons they had successfully completed as well as those that they had failed - that you will find the way to a more contented life as well as a more powerful and happier self. These are not words to entertain or sway you. They are simply the words of lives once lived and what happened to these souls and what they experienced when they died. Some may strike a chord with you. Some may make your heart soar and others may make your heart sink, but they are all important in their own way. You may even recognize the voice of a departed soul as being similar to your own and in the process, find out why you are here yourself. If you have lost someone or are going through difficult times yourself, perhaps the information in these interviews can bring you understanding and comfort into your own life when you need it most.
