A Cowboy Billionaire Sister's Ranch Wedding
A Cowboy Billionaire Sister's Ranch Wedding
Hornsby Hill Ranch Book 1
Hornsby Hill Ranch Book 1
Hayden Hornsby had dedicated his life to helping raise his brothers and sister, and run the ranch alongside his grandfather. If you ever tangled with the Hornsby's, you would know that they weren't ones to fool with. They're rich— powerful — pretty dang smart too— but the thing about it is— people believed they operated on some kind of curse.
Jemma, Hayden's sister, was ready to get married to Dustin Greenwich. Dustin's mama never really cared too much for the Hornsby's. She felt like they thought they were too good for anybody. In a way, they were like the Montagues and the Capulets— their feud wasn't as intense— but Lisa Greenwich made it seem like their families were forbidden to be together. It was insane the number of things Jemma and Dustin had to endure so that they could be together.
So why in the hell of all the girls Hayden had to fall for— he had to pick, Jessica Greenwich. The one-woman, Jemma, did not deem good enough for him—and he was the one man her mother didn't want near her daughter.

Buckhead Chronicles 1955-1968
Buckhead Chronicles 1955-1968
5 Star Review on Amazon:
Childhood is a village and mine was spent in the Atlanta suburb of Buckhead. The 1950s and 60s were a time of threat of nuclear war, candy, and wonder
Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2020
Even if you're not from Atlanta, this is for those of us who grew up in the 50's and 60's. But if you are from Atlanta, especially the Buckhead area, then you'll love it all the more. It's a very engaging and charming coming of age compilation of memoirs. Highly recommended !

Sourced in Silence
To the seeker after freedom, the student after truth, the mystic after God - mine this work. There’s gold within. It’s the resonance that’s key, however the words align.
These words surfaced with a cadence all their own. Some emerged as messages in poetic prose. Others took the form of letters from an unseen friend. Many were life-changing.
While I’m described as the author of this collection, I wasn’t its creator as much as its receiver, and realize its greatest value lay in passing it on.
Welcome to the Mystery.

Firth's Chasm
On a good day,any sane person could never imagine what it would feel like to be on a doomed crashing jetliner, much less live to tell the tale.
A combination of fiction and non-fiction, impossible to tell which, this is the story of one man that lives to tell the experience as the jetliner starts breaking apart at the arctic circle above Canada.
Living through the experience is horrendous enough by itself but when Travis James realizes that his life is thought to be forfeited in the wreckage and there is no help coming? He goes into survival mode as his damaged body wreaks havoc and keeps him trapped in the wilderness, keeping him from traveling south to safety.
A man of means, aching to return to his family that believes he is dead is the driving force that pushes a man to the limits and beyond of his ability as the unfriendly terrain takes it's toll.
When the push south finally begins, the trail is littered with agony and death as the civilized world refuses to acknowledge that there were any survivors or that he is anything other than a homeless man.
A disfigured Travis is constantly trying to decide whether to join his family, knowing he no longer looks quite the same, or to wander off into the sunset and save his family more grief.
Some names have been changed to protect the innocent

I Need Answers
Whether you are just beginning your journey into the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church or have long been a member but are looking for answers to your questions about the church, "I Need Answers" is for you. Although the answers are gathered from Church fathers and holy books, the style of writing provides clear answers to complicated questions. The past few years the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church has seen her youth leaving in mass numbers. Why? Mainly because the youth cannot get understandable answers to their questions. The Church uses Amharic as its primary language and Ge’ez as the liturgical, preventing young people born in America from being able to understand the worship or teaching of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahdo Church.. Deacon Dawit Muluneh, who has traveled around the United States teaching and preaching during the last decade, has gathered the most frequently asked questions and provided answers in a way that can be understood by the youth. Each chapter focuses on a particular question, addressing central themes of Christianity and teaching about the uniqueness of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. It also addresses issues specific to young adults like spiritual dating and depression and more controversial issues like homosexuality in the context of the church.

Marriage Material: How I Found My Husband
Marriage Material: How I Found My Husband
This book, Marriage Material: How I Found my Husband, is the story of how two very different souls found themselves and fell in love. Chronicled through the pages is the long, often tortured journey of Deisy and Keith and how they overcame adversity to forge a new life together. One question that it definitely answers is that, indeed, opposites do attract!
The book touches on the challenges faced by the author as she journeyed towards love. She narrates how she found the person destined for her in a place where she least expected to see him. The Dominican-born esthetics expert and writer also touches on how difficult it truly is to be away from loved ones, especially during very special moments in life. She got married without any of the most important people in her life, and draws a parallel with the current pandemic situation affecting so many planned weddings.
Moreover, her book delves deeper into love, relationships, and marriage. She takes pride in the fact that she and her husband have been successful at keeping their love alive through never-ending hard work while building a successful spa business in Los Angeles. Through her book, Deisy shares some of the lessons that she has learned from dating, life, love, and from her own marriage.
So, for the doubters or cynics of love - or for those who say “I’ll never find the right person” - this book provides plenty of hope. For those fearful of taking that next step forward, a reading of this book illustrates how risk-taking can pay dividends. And for those stuck in unfulfilling relationships, it illustrates how years of chronic domestic mental abuse can take its toll when unrecognized and untreated.

The Big Black Book of Sex Positions
Take Your Sex Life From Boring To Mind-Blowing in a Few More Than 69 Moves
IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS SEX, BASIC AND PRIMAL IN ITS EARLY STAGES, OR SO WE THINK. . . . Perhaps modern society is simply unaware of the depth of sexual understanding our ancestors truly possessed. Maybe modern society is actually relearning the sexual secrets that have been lost over the years. We can look back to the Kama Sutra and see that thousands of years ago, the various sexual positions were given extreme importance. There are even ancient texts that suggest certain positions and angles of penetration can improve your health and even fight disease—more than just physical pleasure. However, intense physical pleasure is an excellent place to start.
