Descripción

So you think you have the boss from Hell? It's the era of Jack the Ripper, of mean, polluted streets, derby hats, hansom cabs and curlicued mustaches. In 1890s Chicago, no one suspects Dr H.H. Holmes of being a serial killing psychopath, least of all his dutiful handyman, Ben Pitezel. Ben gets himself in Holmes' good graces, assisting him on insurance scams, which helps Ben provide comfortably for his wife and growing family. But when a beautiful young blonde co-worker goes missing from Holmes' shop, and especially when Ben witnesses Holmes' torture dungeon in the basement of the "Murder Castle," he begins to understand Holmes' devious nature. But is it too late to stop him?📖 Available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3S7gCcW [https://amzn.to/3S7gCcW]

Listening to Spravato: Sound, Silence, and the Medicine of Music

You’re sitting in the chair, the medicine starts to rise… and suddenly, everything feels unfamiliar—and you don’t know how to navigate it. You came to Spravato hoping for relief, but instead you’re facing something intense, unpredictable, even overwhelming. The room is quiet, the experience is shifting—and no one really tells you how to move through it. This book is NOT another clinical manual or vague “relaxation guide.”Listening to Spravato is a practical, step-by-step companion for patients and clinicians—showing you exactly how to prepare, what to expect, and how to use sound and music as a stabilizing force during treatment. Written by musician and Spravato patient Justin Page, it bridges real clinical understanding with lived experience—turning confusion into clarity. Imagine… Entering your next session feeling prepared, grounded, and supported—knowing exactly how to shape your environment so the experience feels safer, more navigable, and more meaningful. Inside the book, you will discover: * How to walk into your session feeling calm and prepared—instead of anxious and uncertain * The invisible force shaping your entire experience (and how to make it work for you, not against you) * The overlooked music mistakes that can quietly destabilize a session—and how to avoid them completely * What really happens inside your mind as the medicine takes effect—and how to move through each phase safely * Why the environment matters more than you’ve been told—and how to take control of it * The gentle, often-missed moment where the session truly “lands”—and how to make it count * A simple, grounding way to make sense of what you experienced—without overthinking or overwhelm This isn’t just theory—you’ll find practical tools, playlists, and exercises you can use immediately, like having a calm, experienced guide sitting beside you. Think you’ve read something similar? Most resources ignore what actually shapes the experience in the chair. This one doesn’t. This is one of the most vulnerable spaces you will step into—what you bring with you matters more than you think. Buy Now and enter your next session with confidence, safety, and something steady to hold onto.📖 Available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4eam8Eo [https://amzn.to/4eam8Eo]

Whispers of Love: A Small-Town, Slow-Burn, Friends-to-Lovers, Mystical Romance (Mystical Waters Canyon)

In Swan Harbor, legends say that when the elements of Mystical Waters Canyon are in balance, your true love’s name can be heard whispered on the wind. A restless heart. A legacy written in whispers. A love brave enough to listen. Amy Simpson has always known who she is—decisive, grounded, and unwilling to settle for anything less than what feels right. But as her siblings begin to pair off and the canyon whispers three unexpected words—You are Air—the certainty she’s always relied on begins to shift. An engagement that once made sense no longer feels like enough, and walking away means choosing discomfort over security. For the first time, Amy steps into the unknown… and toward a man who doesn’t overwhelm or unsteady her—instead, he quiets the noise, steadying something deep inside her. With Gabe, love isn’t a spark she has to chase—it’s a truth she can finally trust. Gabe has always trusted his instincts—especially the quiet nudges he’s learned not to ignore. As a Special Agent, following those instincts has guided every decision he’s made. But in Swan Harbor, those instincts feel different—stronger, more deliberate, as if the town itself has a hand in where he’s meant to be. At the center of it all is Amy—his partner’s sister, the one person he shouldn’t be thinking about, let alone wanting. Balancing duty and desire has never been part of the plan, yet the pull toward her is undeniable. For the first time, Gabe isn’t just following a lead—he’s beginning to understand that some paths aren’t meant to be questioned… only chosen. As Amy and Gabe are drawn together, the uncertainty of the past gives way to a truth as steady as the canyon walls. His quiet strength grounds her against the wind, and in return, her trust anchors him to the home he’s finally found. In the end, Gabe does what he’s always done best—he chooses Amy… and a love he can no longer ignore. Because in Swan Harbor, love isn’t just found—it’s what brings everything into alignment… quieting the past, steadying the present, and guiding it all back to where it was always meant to be. Welcome to Swan Harbor Whispers of Love is Book 4 in the Mystical Waters Canyon series, set in the beloved world of Swan Harbor. This steamy, contemporary, small-town, friends-to-lovers romance blends mystery with a touch of the mystical—and a guaranteed happy ending. If you enjoy emotionally rich, bingeable romance with layered suspense, deep connection, and interconnected stories, you’ll feel right at home in Swan Harbor. While each book can be read as a standalone, the series is best enjoyed in order, as each story adds another layer to the mystery surrounding the canyon. In Swan Harbor, every story is connected—and every whisper leads somewhere. Follow the path… and discover where it takes you. Whispers of Love is Book 4/4—the final chapter of the Mystical Waters Canyon series. The final whisper has been waiting… Return to the canyon, where every path, every past, and every promise leads to the love that was meant to be.

The WarriorSTRONG Manifesto: The Path to Power Based on the Ancient, Lost Shamanic Strategy of Life Energy Conservation

A manifesto is a bold, unapologetic explanation of new and revolutionary ideas. The WarriorSTRONG Manifesto explains the uncompromising countercultural life of the everyday warrior. This path is about the strategic but practical accumulation of personal power based on the ancient but lost shamanic principles of energy conservation. * Yes, as a warrior, you can develop the power to live life on your own terms more often than not. Power is always earned, never given. * Yes, as a warrior, you can use high pressured relationships to become emotionally strong and resilient. Power is always expressed harmlessly, never through attack or violence. * Yes, as a warrior, you can stop wasting your life and start saving it, literally and figuratively. Power is always found in behaviors where life energy is being thrown away. * Yes, as a warrior, you can override the ego robot that lives inside us all and begin to break free of the matrix of cultural programming and predictable stereotypes. Power always comes from the awareness that’s acquired through paying attention to what you’re doing. * Yes, as a warrior, you can and will do the hard thing. Power always comes from devotion to personal excellence through discipline. Author Karen Bentley calls this the uncommon path of becoming WarriorSTRONG. You’ll call it the most exciting, energizing invitation to experience your own greatness. Your first step in your own transformation process is simply considering the warrior’s life of purpose, passion, power, and precise acts. Take it by reading this book and discovering the secrets of warrior-hood. Begin.📖 Available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4vbryF7 [https://amzn.to/4vbryF7]

The Four Queens of the Buttonbush Museum: A Novel

In 1950, the Buttonbush Museum is circling the financial drain, and Irene Pickett—a sassy farmer's wife from rural California—is determined to stop the flush. Tired of being typecast as the housewife queen of pickling and laundry, Irene has something to prove. Enter The Four Queens: Irene and three other firebrand women ready to take on the museum's bottomless budget issues. The biggest obstacle is fellow Queen Odilia Delgado, who's more concerned with slapping her name on museum buildings than balancing the books. When the county threatens to bulldoze the museum, Irene hatches a plan. Then, the Queens discover they're being sabotaged by outside forces. Can Irene pull off a miracle, save the museum, and finally get the credit she deserves? Or will Odilia steamroll her way into another spotlight? Buckle up—this ride's got more twists than a pig’s tail at the county fair! ©2025 Beth Brookhart (P)2025 Tantor Media 📖 Available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4oqxEi5 [https://amzn.to/4oqxEi5]
