FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- Goodnight Dear: The Unsentimental Diary Of A Bereaved Husband by Darren Humphries

Maïté Humphries-Farge died on January 14th 2011, quite suddenly and without warning.

She was not targeted by a serial killer or the victim of some vampire boyfriend's nemesis because this was not fiction. This was merely the kind of day-to-day family tragedy that barely makes the local news.

This is the story of the first year after Maïté's death, as told in diary entries made by her husband, recounted in the hope that anyone involved in a committed relationship who reads it might think to find out where the insurance policy is, decide to take out that funeral plan or simply ask themselves what they would do if it happened to them.

Because it happens to someone every day.

FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- Kit And Kisses by Karen Rose Smith

Kit Saunders is a public relations expert and never turns down a challenge. She never gets involved with clients. But Greyson Corey is both challenging and too hunky for words. Is he as down-to-earth and honest as he seems? Change is difficult for him but Kit is resilient enough to present the facts in a way that nudges him in the right direction. Yet when he turns in her direction and chemistry seems to take over, she stops short and takes a deep breath.
         Kit was fooled by a con man who stole her financial well being...but more importantly her sense of trust. Although it's easy for others to put trust in her--in business, in the volunteer program she started to bring pets together with sick children--her sense of trust in men has been destroyed. She is so attracted to Grey she can hardly see straight. And his first kiss could lead to passion she has only dreamed of. But her barriers are high and strong and the con man lurks in her background. When Grey has commitments that he won't explain, Kit's radar senses trouble. She won't fall in love with a man with secrets.
          Grey has his own walls to climb. His sister has special needs. Although she is now living in a group home, he is responsible for her. He loves Deedee and will protect her until his dying day. A previous relationship ended because the woman he dated couldn't accept Deedee's role in his life. How can he trust that Kit will be any different?
          Two people search for the meaning of love in a real world. Can a few mind-boggling kisses lead to happily-ever-after? Only if they can trust as well as love.

FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- Life is Short And So Is This Book: Brief Thoughts On Making The Most Of Your Life by Peter Atkins

Life is short. You can, if you work hard and are lucky, get more of almost anything, but you can’t get more time. Time only goes one way. The average American has a lifespan of less than 30,000 days. So how you choose to live matters.

That’s the topic of this book. I don’t pretend to have all the answers. I’m still learning every day, and many of the good ideas here I’ve picked up from other people either directly or by reading. But this is what’s worked for me.

Like life, this book is short. Many books I read could communicate their ideas in fewer pages. So I’ve tried to be brief in line with the wise person who noted: “If I’d had more time I would have written a shorter letter”.

I don’t think brevity implies lack of content. The concepts here have improved the quality of my life, and I hope they’re useful to you as well.

Using these concepts, I have created a life I love. My job doesn’t feel like work. I love and respect the people with whom I spend time. And I’m also passionate about my life outside work. I’ve learned how to create a balance that makes me happy between work and other interests, including my family, friends and exercise. Sadly I think that’s rare. And yet, while I know I’m lucky, most people can work towards those goals in their own lives.

My interest in making the most of my life began when I was just starting college, but when I was in my mid-thirties a boss I admired died of cancer. He was young. He had a great wife; he had three young children; he had a fantastic career -- he had everything in life. He just didn’t have enough time. So, while I’d often thought about how to get the most out of life, the death of someone so young and vital increased my sense of urgency to act on it.

One of the things I’ve always wanted to do was to work for myself. As a result, I left an exciting job at Microsoft in 2001 amidst the Internet bust to found the investing firm I now run. It was hard to do, both financially and emotionally. When I left Microsoft, many people – friends, family, and even some of the press - thought I was deluding myself to start a fund focused on Internet-related companies during a market crash. A press quote from the time said: "Call him a little crazy. Call him a little nuts." I’d never seen that type of coverage before. And, in a sense, the press was right; the business wasn’t easy to start. Fortunately, from a vantage point of ten years down the road, it’s worked out quite well.

A key part of my job is reading and thinking about a broad variety of topics. So writing this book was relatively easy. It’s even easier to read. But, like many things in life, actually executing each day on these concepts is extremely difficult. With thanks to Thomas Edison, life is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Even so, I hope you have fun perspiring.

When Sara Connely is asked what life is like today, she answers with the simple words, ‘life goes on.’ The life she and her boys enjoyed the last dozen years is gone. Sara struggles to cope with the death of her husband and doing so with two young boys, and no money, is almost too much to ask.

Life does go on, but when Sara’s oldest boy becomes lost in Croatan National Forest, life comes to a stop.

Twelve-year-old Kyle Connely doesn’t know the woods. He doesn’t know the wildlife. He doesn’t know how to get home. Lost in the wilderness, he faces dangers the likes of which he has never seen. Kyle’s time is running out. A hurricane is looming, and in its path is the coastal forest he is trying to survive.

Jacob Hanson has a gift. An intuition. An insightfulness. And it has helped him find success. But his gift turns into a curse as he becomes an unwilling participant in Kyle's plight.

What Jacob Hanson doesn't know is he also holds the key to Sara’s past and the lifetime she lost with her husband.

FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- Anti Cancer Food Easy Recipes for Every One by Roberts Smith

Cancer already kills more people worldwide than AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria combined.A common factor in cancer is an overarching mutation in the DNA-repair mechanism. Lack of proper DNA repair allows mutation to run riot, increasing the chance that several anticancer genes will be affected, but also hiding those mutations in a plethora of others that have no relevance to cancer formation.

Antioxidants may help prevent the formation of carcinogens (cancer causing substances), block the actions of carcinogens, and/or suppress cancer development. Most of these actions have yet to be proven in humans; however, foods containing antioxidants (mostly plants) contain many other healthy components.

“The benefit from phytochemicals comes from eating the food, not in taking pills or supplements. Fruits and veggies contain a variety of phytochemicals, vitamins, and minerals, as well as fiber — these cannot be replicated in a pill form.”

Fruits and vegetables that can protect against cancer

Originally Published: June 28, 2002 - Last Updated / Reviewed On: October 16, 2008

The Westernization of Asian diets, including rising consumption of alcohol and red meat, is causing higher rates of cancer, in the other hands traditional diets, containing animal and plant foods farmed by nontoxic methods, are rich in against factors.

What you eat can hurt you, but it can also help you. Many of the common foods found in grocery stores or organic markets contain cancer-fighting properties. There isn't a single element in a particular food that does all the work: The best thing to do is eat a variety of foods.

Alone is the story of Ralph Banister. He is a normal average man, married with two kids. When his wife and children leave for a visit to his in laws in England, Ralph finds himself alone at home. He goes about his daily chores and with his faithful dog Jason at his side, Ralph soon discovers that he is not only alone at home, but he is truly alone. Everyone on the face of the Earth has vanished. With no explanation, Ralph and Jason struggle to survive in an empty world. As power fails and the phones go dead, all hope of contacting his missing family is gone. With no outside communication and no idea what has caused the worldwide disappearances, their outlook is grim. With no power, water or phones, Ralph abandons their home and searches for some place to live that will allow him to provide for the future, whatever the future might bring. As Ralph and Jason face new challenges, the two grow closer together and come to depend on each other for their very survival.

Ralph tries to adapt to the loss of everyday conveniences as he and Jason move into an old farm house and proceed to make it their home. Ralph spends part of the time building his own power generating plant and relying on spring water. Together they collect farm animals from the surrounding area and move them to the farm. The animals provide food and help to ease the loneliness. As time passes they settle into their new home. Planting crops for food and then guarding those crops, they struggle to become self sufficient. With no men to stop them, wildlife fills the land and Ralph and Jason have new worries as predators also multiply.

Ralph prepares the farm for protection and the pair defend themselves against nature running wild. With an explosion of smaller animals, their food supply is threatened but just as quickly the small animals disappear and their worries quickly turn to the large number of predators that are now in the area. With no men around, the animals become bolder and bolder. They are forced to fight to protect each other and the small farm they now consider home.

When nature reaches equilibrium, Ralph and Jason spend each day providing for their needs and trying to cope with loneliness. Each day brings a different struggle and Ralph learns to adapt to each new circumstance. Trying to salvage books and materials before they are lost, Ralph and Jason make numerous dangerous trips into the towns and cities until they are forced to stop. Finally all modern technology fails and mankind retreats several hundred years.

As the years roll by, they settle into the routine of their new lives. The lack of human company threatens Ralph’s sanity and his sorrow sometimes overwhelms him. Thoughts of his wife and children are never far from his mind and their loss weighs heavily on him. Finally the last man on Earth, an aged and stooped figure waits for the final end.

Based on the true story of notorious serial killer Peter Kürten and the unsolved murder of Düsseldorf prostitute Emma Gross…

Düsseldorf, 1st March 1929, the dying days of the Weimar Republic. A prostitute is found dead in a cheap hotel room, brutally murdered. But her death is soon forgotten as the city's police hunt a maniac attacking innocent women and children. A killer the press has dubbed the Düsseldorf Ripper.

Detective Thomas Klein's career is going nowhere until he gets a tip-off leading to the Ripper's arrest. But the killer's confession to the hooker's murder is full of holes, and Klein soon comes to believe this is one murder the killer didn't commit. Motivated by spite, ambition, or maybe even a long-buried sense of justice, finding out who really killed Emma Gross becomes Klein's obsession.

Particularly when the evidence begins to point closer to home…

FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- Britain's Greatest Naval Battle: The Armada, Trafalgar, Jutland by Richard Freeman

Until the end of the First World War, Britain's wealth and power depended crucially on her command of the sea through naval power. No country could challenge Britain's power unless it first deprived her of her capacity to rule the waves.

Philip II of Spain, Napoleon and Kaiser Wilhelm all took up this challenge. On each occasion Britain found herself on the verge of conquest. And yet each time the navy went out to meet the foe and returned victorious. The Spanish invasion force that accompanied the Armada perished in the Channel and the North Sea. At Trafalgar Nelson destroyed Napoleon's capacity to mount an invasion. And at Jutland, Jellicoe's fleet so terrified the German Kaiser that he ordered his ships to remain in port.

Three great naval battles. Each a decisive and overwhelming victory. Each forcing a turning point in a war. Each, if lost, would have had disastrous consequences for Britain.

But which was Britain's greatest victory?

This brilliant short book by one the country's leading naval historians examines each battle, placing the conflict in its historical context, explaining how the battle came about and why the Royal Navy succeeded in driving off the enemy fleet.

It provides a fresh perspective for naval historians, and a brilliant concise introduction to the key turning points in our naval history for the general reader.

It's Not A Wonderful Life is about the break-up and the break-down which follows it, it's about getting closer to closure and using humor to glide through the difficult periods in our lives which lie beyond our control.
It's Not A Wonderful Life is concurrently reverently irreverent, unabashedly cerebral and absurdly insightful. Rife with dialogue, with witty, punny banter and perhaps wittier, punnier prose; It's Not A Wonderful Life is Sex and the City meets Seinfeld, Me Talk Pretty One Day meets Molecular Biology.

Claire Kendrick didn't know what to think when she was summoned to the 50th floor to meet the president of Callahan, International. As handsome, blue-eyed Nick Callahan explained her special assignment --- writing an article about him for CEO Magazine --- Claire's apprehensions grew. There was something he wasn't telling her, something odd that she couldn't put her finger on. What did he really want from her?

Her green eyes, golden hair, and striking beauty were the first things that had caught Nick's attention. Then he had her background checked out, and he was doubly impressed. Claire Kendrick was a smart, hard-working, loyal employee. She was also supporting her mother, who needed expensive full-time medical care. All in all, Claire was the perfect candidate for the position Nick needed to fill.

While researching the article on Nick, Claire found herself awed by the success story of the man who'd made his first million before he was thirty. His brilliant blue eyes were mesmerizing, his sexy smile distracting, his hidden, kind nature surprising and admirable. And then, out of the blue, Nick offered her a startling proposition. He would support Claire and her mother in exchange for services rendered --- as a wife and mother to his children!

It would have been a fantasy, a dream come true, a Cinderella story --- except for one oversight. Could Claire exist in a marriage of convenience? What kind of marriage would it be . . . without love?

Ex-Special Forces medic, Dr Steven Dunbar, now works for the Sci-Med Inspectorate, a small unit based in the UK Home Office whose job it is to investigate crime in the Hi-Tec areas of science and medicine. Steven is therefore surprised when he is asked to investigate the deathbed confession of convicted psychopath, Hector Combe. Combe, confined to the State Mental Hospital in central Scotland, claims to have raped and murdered a young girl in a village outside Edinburgh some years before – a particularly brutal killing for which another man has been convicted and has languished in prison for over nine years. Steven begins to understand the request for his involvement when it emerges that the prisoner, Dr David Little, was an outstanding medical researcher before the murder and has always maintained his innocence. His conviction however, was based on indisputable DNA evidence, a perfect match and completely beyond doubt. Understandably, the local police resent Steven questioning anything at all about such an open and shut case but, as he begins to find his life in danger, Steven realises that the police are not the only ones objecting to his involvement.

This title was first published by Allison & Busby in the UK in 2005. It was the fifth thriller to feature Steven Dunbar, a series which will extend to nine when LOST CAUSES is published by Birlinn/Polygon in the UK in May 2011.

A Thriller

After a devastating childhood took her temporarily along the wrong path, Jolanda Adamcikova, or Jo Adams as she now prefers to be known, has managed to forge a new life for herself as an officer in the Metropolitan Police. But her promising career is threatened with derailment when she is suspended after assaulting a suspect during an arrest. Jo is thrown a lifeline in the form of an offer to join LEFT Field, a private investigator run by the charismatic and blue-blooded Peter Lampton. She is soon drawn into a complex case of political intrigue, child sex trafficking and, inevitably, money. It is the British Foreign Secretary who is under suspicion, so any investigation must be discreet, and discretion is something in which LEFT Field excels. Jo’s initial euphoria at being given another chance is soon dissipated by concerns about the motive behind her recruitment. Jo’s beauty and chequered past seem to make her ideally qualified to insinuate herself into the affections of the target of their investigation but this is precisely the sort of thing from which Jo has been trying to escape. Her woes are compounded by the growing attraction between her and Peter Lampton. Peter has his own tragic past, his wife and young child having disappeared without trace some years before, which prompts him to respond to his attraction to Jo with ambivalence.

Jo and Peter, each torn by conflicting emotions that threaten to break them both, must make some hard choices and the choices they make take them on a dangerous journey culminating in tragedy and death.

Seeking shelter each night sometimes in their tiny tent and at other times in accommodation of a very dubious kind (the names of these establishments have been changed to protect the guilty) they set about exploring some of Western Europe's major cities. Their routes take in the delights, and dangers, to be found in, amongst others- Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, Lisbon, Bordeaux, Amsterdam, Lyon, Salamanca, Geneva etc. You name it... and they had a traumatic 'arthropod-related experience' there. They also managed to be the victims of two successful robberies in the space of one, extremely uncomfortable, evening and also contracted most of the holiday ailments known to modern medicine...Oh yes, and they had to witness a totally gratuitous display of 'fancy dress nudity' which would have broken lesser men! Were these two 'adherents of the pack' hapless or unlucky in befalling these tribulations? Well, I'm still not sure..... but I do know that they did survive to tell the tale in all its grimy, in need of a proper wash, detail.

FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- Keeping Murder in the Family by John Osipowicz

Elissa Ruster is dead, and it’s an open and shut case. That is, until detective Millard Whitney begins nosing around.

The essential facts were simple: Elissa was kidnapped by Armando Lopez, who raped and killed her. But when Millard looks more closely at these “facts,” it wasn’t rape and it wasn’t murder—at least not by Armando. The problem is Armando’s already been convicted of the crime, and Millard will have to come up with some pretty strong evidence to change anyone’s mind.

Millard has no reason to even be on the case. It was way out of his territory, in fact, as far out as Cincinnati is from Philadelphia. Millard was at a regional crime conference, where instead of discussing murder someone was actually doing it—three of them in that week. The last person to be killed was one of Millard’s police friends, which pushes Millard into the case.

Relocating to Cincinnati, Millard finds that all three people murdered at the crime conference were connected to the solved Elissa Ruster murder case. As Millard jumps in, feet first, he discovers that Elissa’s dysfunctional family may be death-functional—any one of them may be a killer. For instance, there’s the Shakespearean actor of a husband, who’s currently playing Brutus and maybe taking killing a little too seriously. Also sibling rivalry comes to the front, with the victim’s own sister courting jealousy, and their mother’s brother and sister each having a strangely reclusive existence.

It seemed also that Elissa was quite liberal with her sexual favors, inviting her boss and her psychiatrist to the party, among others. Millard has to unlearn some of the values he has always thought about families. Along the way, Millard runs into a shark, Iraqi insurgents, and a mountain blizzard. If that wasn’t enough he is thrown into the Ohio River and later stabbed on a Nashville riverboat. Should he just stay away from water?

Traumatic childhood events begin working their way into the case, and Millard gets a first-hand look at abuse. The case finally hinges on the word, “Pookie,” but what does it mean? In the end, Millard learns that there’s no freedom in Philadelphia’s Independence Hall, as he has to partake in a bizarre trial there, where the verdict is death.

Shortly after the Titanic sank on the morning of April 15, 1912, author Logan Marshall compiled a history of the tragic event. His narrative reads like a novel, yet every word is true. Bruce Caplan took the original work and edited and abridged the book to include new information and today is a much sought-after public speaker and consided a premier Titanic expert.

Myth: the ship was safest when it left port.

Reality: the ship was on fire from the time it left Southampton. Not a tiny blaze, but a roaring inferno that probably contributed to the disaster.

Myth: All the men patiently stood by and let the women and children enter the few lifeboats.

Reality: Men were shot on deck as they attempted to board the lifeboats and save their own lives.

They have yoga and eastern mysticism, not to mention stress balls, stress beads, and body rollers that you roll up-and-down your head and your back to relieve stress! What does that tell us? I think it tells us that many people in our society, and Christians are not exempt, find it hard to cope with the anxieties of life. It’s no wonder we can’t sleep. None of us are immune to stressful, anxious days and fretful days can lead to sleepless nights. “How to Sleep Like a Baby” is a meditation on Psalm 3.

FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- The Church of Tango: A Memoir by Cherie Magnus

This is not a "tango book," but a story of survival that cuts across death, cancer, Alzheimer's, loss of home and homeland and cherished heirlooms and possessions, loss of shared histories, of hope for one's children, of hope for the future, of love. But it's also about finding love and unexpected joy. And about listening to the music and dancing.

I started writing this story at the time it began--in February of 1992, when I was so depressed after my husband's death I wanted to swallow all of his left-over meds and follow him into the beyond. So what began in a way as a journal or diary became the chronicle of my road to survival in four countries. And once I made that decision to live no matter what tragedy came my way, I plugged on, through one tremendous loss after another, by dancing. No, not yet had the tango found me, but whatever dance there was at the time came to my rescue. I had always been a dancer, and now I knew dance could save me from despair.

As my adventures unfolded, the manuscript grew and grew. I had to make cuts in events, characters, reflections and realizations. That was the hardest part of bringing this story to fruition. There is so much left out. Who knows, maybe I'll write The Daughter of the Church of Tango, or a prequel one day.

Our tango students come from all over the world: China, The Philippines, Australia, Viet Nam, New Zealand, Hawaii, South Africa, India, Nepal, Finland, Russia, Israel, Scandinavia, all over Europe, Chile, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Canada and the U.S. And one question they all ask me is, how did I end up teaching tango in Argentina?

This book is my answer.

The Church of Tango is a passionate memoir of tragedy and adventure, lust and music, romance and tango--and above all, survival.
