Tectonic: Foreshock: A Prequel Novella

 Two Men walking with a lava flow between them.


Tectonic: Foreshock: A Prequel Novella


TECTONIC: FORESHOCK is the emotional prequel to TECTONIC, the main disaster thriller in the series. It follows Carter White after Christian Reyes—his childhood best friend, first love, and boyfriend of eight years—rejects his graduation proposal. Heartbroken, Carter leaves Flagstaff for Boston, where he begins law school and tries to build a life beyond the relationship that defined him. Told through Carter’s memories of their friendship, first kiss, secret romance, and eventual breakup, FORESHOCK reveals how Carter and Christian became inseparable—and why they were still carrying so much unfinished history when they met again years later in TECTONIC. It’s an LGBTQ+ story about first love, heartbreak, and the choices that separate two people before a natural disaster forces them back into each other’s lives.

Lambs to the Slaughter - 3 book set

Images of Beautifu Thai Women



 I'm Dave James, currently aged 70 and been coming to Thailand for over 35 years and been married four times, British 4 yrs, Thai 7 yrs, Filipino 5 yrs and now Thai again 20 years and counting. We are incredibly happy and have built a bungalow and pool resort where we currently live in Thailand.So believe me, I know what I'm talking about when it comes to Thai and Filipino girls and have seen literally hundreds of cases of foreign guys like myself losing everything because of their cunning mentality and scheming nature. By the way, there's a massive difference between Thai and Filipino girls. Both may be looking for a foreign husband for support and security, but Filipino girls marry for life and stay with their partners and very rarely divorce. In the 5 years of meeting and getting to know 100's of Filipino girls through my Filipino wife in the UK, ALL of them, to the best of my knowledge, are still married to the same husband to this day. Thai girls however are very different. They are much more streetwise and calculating and virtually ALL of the Thai girls I met or heard about, that were married to a British or foreign guy over the last 30 years, which is probably 500 plus, are now on their 2nd, 3rd or even 4th husband…! Or living back in Thailand, in the house they convinced their cash cow husband to build, after milking the poor guy dry. In a nut shell, most Thai women will love you until the money runs out or someone better or richer comes along. Now don't get me wrong... there are some very nice, honest and genuine Thai girls and women out there, but... they are very difficult to find. The good ones are scared to death to talk to foreigners, many do not speak any English and you cannot meet them on dating websites or anywhere else. 95% of all the Thai girls you see in the UK are bar girls and UN-educated hookers. There are a few exceptions but not many. This book set could save you a fortune and a lot of heartache if you understand the Thai girls mentality and why they do what they do. However, you will also laugh at how stupid some of the foreigners are and what they do.

Through His Eyes and Hers

    Mans Face in a shattered Mirror


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)

 Well Dressed man in front of Cityscape


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.

Help Us Build the Make Peace With Life Movement

 Picture of Me hosting a podcast.

Help Us Build the

Make Peace With Life Movement

What if one simple message could change someone's life?

What if one podcast episode helped someone realize they weren't broken?

What if one conversation helped someone smile again after months of struggling?

That's why we created the Make Peace With Life Podcast.

This isn't just another podcast.

It's the beginning of a movement.

You Are Not Broken

One of the biggest lies people hear today is that they're somehow "broken."

The world constantly tells us we need to be fixed.

That we're not successful enough.

Not attractive enough.

Not productive enough.

Not spiritual enough.

Not enough.

We believe something very different.

We believe that you are not broken.

You're human.

You're growing.

You're learning.

You're evolving.

Sometimes life knocks us down.

Sometimes we lose our way.

Sometimes we simply need someone to remind us that happiness is still possible.

That's exactly what we're here to do.

Finding Your Happiness Again

Every episode of the Make Peace With Life Podcast is designed to help you:

  • Find more peace in everyday life.
  • Laugh a little more.
  • See life from a different perspective.
  • Grow without feeling like you need to become someone else.
  • Strengthen your relationships.
  • Explore metaphysical ideas with curiosity and fun.
  • Appreciate life's simple moments.
  • Build confidence.
  • Create positive energy.
  • Remember that happiness isn't something you find someday—it's something you create every day.

We don't pretend to have every answer.

But together, we can ask better questions.

We Need Your Help

Movements don't grow because of one person.

They grow because thousands of people decide that the message is worth sharing.

That's where you come in.

If you've enjoyed our podcast...

If you've smiled during an episode...

If something we've shared has helped you see life differently...

Please subscribe.

Not because we're chasing numbers.

Because every new subscriber gives this message a chance to reach someone else who may need to hear it.

Someone who may be struggling.

Someone who feels alone.

Someone who simply needs hope.

Every Subscriber Matters

Think about it.

Every time someone subscribes...

The message spreads a little farther.

Every time someone shares an episode...

Another family hears it.

Another friendship benefits from it.

Another person begins believing that maybe...

Just maybe...

They're not broken after all.

That's powerful.

Let's Make This Big

Dreams don't become reality because we hope.

They become reality because communities come together.

We want to build more than a podcast.

We want to build one of the most positive communities on the internet.

A place where people encourage one another.

Laugh together.

Grow together.

Celebrate each other's victories.

Support each other through life's challenges.

A place where making peace with life becomes more than a phrase.

It becomes a way of living.

But we can't do it alone.

We need your voice.

Your encouragement.

Your ideas.

And yes...

Your subscription.

25 self-help books to help overcome life struggles

 Book Cover with Authors Picture




Introduction

If you're struggling with Life, chances are you are out of balance/harmony with how life works.  How does life work?  Life works in threes!  Life consists of YOU, YOUR LIFE and YOUR JOURNEY.  Let's explore each one and get back in balance to overcome any struggles.

LIFE

The process of life is a continuous cycle of growth, change, and adaptation. It begins with the spark of existence, as organisms emerge, develop, and evolve in response to their environment. Life progresses through various stages—learning, struggle,and transformation—where each experience contributes to the unfolding of an individual's journey. Along the way, we humans face challenges, form connections, and seek meaning, all while navigating the delicate balance between survival and change. At its core, life is about resilience, the constant pursuit of balance, and the inevitable progression toward the unknown. 

YOU

Striving for perfection in life is like chasing a mirage in the desert—no matter how hard we try, it always seems just out of reach. It's about constantly measuring ourselves against impossible standards, seeking validation from others, and fearing failure at every turn. In contrast, living authentically is about embracing our imperfections, celebrating our uniqueness, and owning our truth without apology. It's about being genuine, vulnerable, and unapologetically ourselves, flaws and all. Instead of striving for an unattainable ideal, living authentically allows us to cultivate genuine connections, find true fulfillment, and experience a deeper sense of peace and contentment.  

YOUR LIFE

Taking control of your life is like steering your own ship—you're the captain of your destiny, charting your course and navigating the waters of life with confidence and conviction. It's about owning your decisions, embracing your individuality, and staying true to your values, even when others try to steer you off course. While it's natural to seek guidance and support from others, it's essential to remember that ultimately, you're the one in the driver's seat of your life.  

YOUR JOURNEY

Life is a grand adventure, a journey filled with twists, turns, and unexpected detours along the way. It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, constantly striving for the next milestone or accomplishment. But as the saying goes, it's not about the destination—it's about the journey. Each moment, each experience, each encounter shapes who we are and who we become, guiding us along the path of self-discovery and personal growth.  

SUMMARY

The beauty of life lies in its imperfections—the smudges, the smears, the unexpected splashes of color that add character and depth to the canvas of our existence. It's in these moments of spontaneity and unpredictability that we find the true essence of living—a vibrant, ever-changing tapestry of joy, sorrow, love, and laughter. So, as you embark on the journey of life, remember that the canvas is yours to paint. Choose your colors wisely, embrace the imperfections, and allow the beauty of your unique masterpiece to shine through for all the world to see.  

INVITATION

“If you chase life...it will run from you.” 


Imagine life as a river flowing gently downstream. When you chase life, it’s like trying to swim against the current—you're constantly pushing and striving to make things happen on your own terms. While determination and hard work are important, there's also beauty in allowing life to unfold naturally. Allowing life to come to you is about trusting the flow of the river, where you navigate with ease and openness to what the universe brings your way.

A Road Built By Many Hands: A Long Journey Home

 Young Man Walking down the Road


 

A Road Built By Many Hands:

A Long Journey Home


Raw, gritty, and deeply human, A Road Built by Many Hands: A Long Journey Home is a powerful story of Opioid addiction recovery, family, community, and the grace found when broken people choose to keep going.

In Pine Hollow, Michigan—where rusted trucks outnumber second chances—mechanic Josh Granger is fighting for his life one sober sunrise at a time. Once the man everyone relied on, Josh is now clawing his way out of the wreckage left by Opioid addiction, shame, and a town that never forgets a mistake.

With his sister Rachel’s unshakable faith, Maria’s quiet strength, hard-earned truth from Hank, and the steady pull of a recovery group, Josh begins the brutal climb toward redemption. But healing isn’t neat. Old wounds reopen. Ghosts demand payment. And when a storm slams into Pine Hollow—both literal and emotional—Josh is forced to confront the hardest truth of all: forgiveness isn’t granted once. It’s earned daily, breath by breath.
