Authors, Let's Help Each Other Grow!

Free Book Promotion in Exchange for a YouTube Subscription

At Make Peace With Life, we believe that positive energy grows when people help one another. At Book Promotion Library, we believe every great book deserves to be discovered. So we asked ourselves...

Why not bring these two communities together?

The result is a partnership that benefits everyone involved—a true win-win opportunity for authors and readers alike.

Here's How It Works

We're working hard to grow the Make Peace With Life Podcast on YouTube so we can spread more positive messages, inspiring conversations, humor, metaphysical topics, travel adventures, and encouragement to people around the world.

To help us reach that goal, we're asking our author friends to become part of our growing community.

In return...

We'll promote your book for FREE!

That's right. Once you subscribe to our YouTube channel, we'll feature your book on one of the Book Promotion Librarybook blogs and share that post across our social media channels to help introduce your book to new readers.

You help us grow...

We help your book reach a larger audience.

That's what community is all about.

Why We're Doing This

The publishing world can be challenging, especially for independent authors. We know that every review, every reader, every share, and every bit of exposure can make a difference.

At the same time, we're building a positive community through the Make Peace With Life Podcast, where we explore topics like personal growth, metaphysics, travel, relationships, humor, and finding happiness in everyday life.

By working together, we can help both communities grow.

More subscribers help us reach more people.

Every Author Needs the Author Octopus Shirt (And Here's Why)

Let's be honest...

Writing a book is one of the few jobs where you're expected to be an author, editor, proofreader, marketer, social media manager, graphic designer, accountant, customer service representative, website developer, public speaker, podcaster, email marketer, and somehow still find time to actually write.

If you've ever thought, "I wish I had eight arms," congratulations...

You're officially an author.

That's exactly why the Author Octopus Shirt exists.

Because Writing the Book Is Only the Beginning

Many people think an author's job ends when they type "The End."

Experienced authors know that's actually when the real work begins.

Now you need to:

• Edit your manuscript.
• Format it.
• Design a cover.
• Upload it to retailers.
• Build a website.
• Run social media.
• Schedule promotions.
• Answer emails.
• Record podcasts.
• Create videos.
• Attend book signings.
• And somehow start writing the next book.

One pair of hands suddenly feels wildly inadequate.

Enter...

The Author Octopus.

It's Funny Because It's True

The best shirts don't just make people smile.

They make people nod their heads and say,

"That's me."

Every author understands the daily juggling act of wearing multiple hats.

The octopus perfectly captures that reality.

Eight arms.

Twenty-seven projects.

Coffee in one hand.

Laptop in another.

Marketing plan over here.

Manuscript over there.

It's basically a documentary.

It's an Instant Conversation Starter

Authors love talking about books.

Readers love meeting authors.

This shirt creates conversations everywhere.

Wear it to:

• Bookstores
• Libraries
• Book festivals
• Writer conferences
• Coffee shops
• Airports
• Comic conventions
• Farmer's markets
• Anywhere readers gather

Don't be surprised if someone stops you and asks:

"So...what do you write?"

That's not just a compliment.

That's an opportunity.

Free Book Marketing (Without Saying a Word)

Marketing can be exhausting.

But your shirt can do some of the work for you.

People notice bold, funny designs.

They read them.

They smile.

They ask questions.

Every conversation becomes a chance to mention your books.

Not in a pushy way.

Just naturally.

Sometimes your best marketing tool isn't another Facebook ad.

Sometimes it's simply wearing something that makes people curious.

It Shows You're Proud to Be an Author

Authors spend months—or years—bringing stories into the world.

That's something worth celebrating.

The Author Octopus Shirt says:

"I create."

"I write."

"I keep going."

"I'm proud of what I do."

And that's something every writer should wear with confidence.

Authors Recognize Their Own

There's something special that happens when writers meet other writers.

You instantly have something in common.

Shared struggles.

Shared victories.

Shared frustrations over formatting issues.

This shirt acts almost like a secret handshake.

It lets other creatives know:

"You're one of us."

It Makes the Perfect Gift

Know someone who's publishing their first novel?

Finished NaNoWriMo?

Launching a new series?

Celebrating a bestseller?

Instead of another notebook...

Give them something they'll actually wear proudly.

It's thoughtful.

It's practical.

And it's guaranteed to earn a laugh.

The Metaphysical Side of Wearing Your Passion

There's something powerful about wearing clothing that reflects who you are.

Every time you pull on the Author Octopus Shirt, you're making a statement—not just to the world, but to yourself.

You're reminding yourself that you're a creator.

A storyteller.

Someone willing to put ideas onto paper and share them with others.

When you wear something that represents your passion, you naturally carry yourself differently.

You stand a little taller.

Smile a little more.

Talk about your work a little more confidently.

Sometimes confidence begins with something as simple as putting on the right shirt.

More Than a Shirt...

The Author Octopus Shirt isn't just cotton and ink.

It's a badge of honor.

It's a celebration of creativity.

It's a reminder that authors wear more hats than almost anyone else on the planet.

And yes...

Sometimes it really does feel like we need eight arms.

So wear it proudly.

Wear it at your next signing.

Wear it while writing your next bestseller.

Wear it to your favorite coffee shop.

Or wear it simply because another author might see you, smile, and say,

"I totally get it."

Because they do.

And if you're an author...

You probably do too.

Now, if someone could invent a coffee mug with eight handles...

We'd really be getting somewhere.

Drafted.EXE: It Begins

A Psychological Suspense Novel

Book One of the Drafted.EXE Series

Writing Lyra Duvall has one rule: She only writes stories. She never expects to become one. When a mysterious app appears on her phone, it begins predicting moments before they happen. At first the messages seem harmless. Then they become impossible. Every notification reveals something no one else should know, and every prediction pulls Lyra deeper into a story she never agreed to tell. As strange encounters pile up, the people around her become harder to read. Elias is charming but impossible to understand. Kael keeps appearing exactly when she needs him. Joon feels safe until he doesn't. Adrian seems to know far more than he should. Someone is watching. Someone is writing. And every choice Lyra makes is already part of the next chapter. Now she must uncover who is behind the app before the story reaches the one ending she can't survive. Perfect for readers who love psychological suspense, slow-burn tension, morally gray characters, and mysteries that refuse to let go, Drafted.EXE: It Begins asks one terrifying question: What if your future had already been written... and your phone was the first to know?

The Bergman-Schuour Destiny

 

The Bergman-Schuour Destiny 

by Ralph L. Myers 

“Can hatred ever be truly dismantled by the bonds of shared humanity?”

Set against the sweeping backdrop of European history — from the muddy roads of 18th-century Ukraine to the shadow of the Holocaust. This ambitious work of historical fiction follows two families across generations, asking a question that feels as urgent today as it did a hundred years ago

The novel opens with a vivid, almost visceral image: Miriam and Aaron Giessel, Jewish peasants fleeing Ukraine under Catherine II's brutal Pale of Settlement decree, hauling a cart through torrential rain and deep mud, their worldly possessions balanced against an uncertain future. From that first page, Myers establishes his dual gift — a novelist's instinct for rich, grounded storytelling and a historian's fidelity to the documented reality of Jewish life in Europe. The early chapters move with the rhythm of displacement, tracing the Bergman family from Poland to Prussia, through riots and decrees, as each generation dares to hope they have finally found a country that will accept them.

That country, eventually, is Germany — and Ralph renders the cruel irony of that choice with extraordinary care. German-Jewish communities-built lives, opened businesses, served in wars, and contributed to culture and commerce, only to find that belonging, in the end, would be revoked. Running parallel to the Bergman story is the Schuour family: aristocratic, Prussian, privileged — and, crucially, not indifferent. The intersection of these two worlds forms the novel's moral and emotional core.

What sets The Bergman-Schuour Destiny apart from more straightforward Holocaust narratives is its timeframe. By beginning in the 1700s, Ralph allows readers to understand the Holocaust not as a sudden eruption but as the culmination of centuries of expulsion, adaptation, and resilience. Readers witness history not as footnotes but as lived experience — arguments in Yiddish, letters written by candlelight, mothers praying for sons they may never see again.

The novel also carries a quietly powerful message: that within societies defined by prejudice, individuals have always existed who chose differently. The Schuours represent that possibility — the road not taken by a nation.

For readers drawn to multigenerational sagas, Jewish history, or narratives that grapple honestly with the roots of hatred and the persistence of hope, this is a book that rewards patience and reflection in equal measure.

Through His Eyes and Hers

   

Through His Eyes and Hers

Some loves are born in the light. Others thrive in the shadows of a broken mind. Ivy Monroe is a ghost in her own life. A freelance archivist who finds safety in dusty basements and silent libraries, she has built a fortress around her heart to keep the trauma of her past at bay. But then she sees him: Brooks Sterling. From her bench in the park, he is everything she needs him to be—a savior, a soulmate, a dream she can curate from a distance. But fantasies are fragile things. When the vibrant and predatory Keira Vance begins a very public pursuit of Brooks, Ivy’s silent devotion turns into a frantic, desperate obsession. As she spirals from distant admirer to silent stalker, the walls between her imagination and reality begin to crumble. How far will Ivy go to protect a relationship that only exists in her head? And what happens when she discovers that Brooks is hiding secrets far darker than her own? Through His Eyes and Hers is a chilling psychological thriller that delves into the fractured psyche of a woman who would rather lose her mind than lose her fantasy.

The King of Business: Power Has A Price (The Danger Series Book 1)

    

The King of Business: Power Has A Price

(The Danger Series Book 1)

He thought he was getting a job. He didn’t know he was being recruited.

Scott has spent his life doing everything right — working hard, staying loyal, following the rules — only to watch others rise while he stayed stuck. Then Danger appears - wealthy, magnetic, impossibly successful, and offering Scott a life he never believed he could touch. But behind the luxury and the promises lies something far more calculated. Danger’s world isn’t built on luck. It’s built on influence. On manipulation. On a system designed to shape the people inside it.

As Scott becomes “2,” a name Danger gives him, he begins to sense the truth: he wasn’t chosen for his skills. He was chosen for his mind — the way it sees patterns, the way it bends under pressure, the way it can be guided. The deeper he goes, the more he realizes that nothing around him is random. Not the money. Not the women. Not the opportunities. Not even the timing. Because in Danger’s world, every move is intentional… and every person is a piece on a board they don’t know they’re standing on.

A gripping psychological thriller about ambition, identity, and the hidden cost of stepping into someone else’s empire.
