You want to make more money and change your life. However, you're not sure how, and it is driving you crazy. Maybe you're looking for just a few extra bucks to help cover your expenses. Maybe you need a new car, and the money is not there. Or maybe it is more dramatic. Did you lose your job? Are you about ready to get the boot at work? Do you need to replace that lost income as quickly as possible? You have tried everything-working overtime; help wanted ads, odd jobs around town. But, no matter what you try, it is not working. You are mad, and you're thinking nothing's working. What do I do now? It is frustrating, isn't it? If you're like me, you have probably read about all these other guys who made it big selling online and thought, what a bunch of BS. Nobody makes that kind of money selling online. Does any of this sound familiar? Here's what I want you to do. Forgot all those negative thoughts for a few minutes. Instead, think about what you want to achieve. I know. It's hard. All the bad news and bill collectors keep burning up your phone line and assaulting your mailbox. Forget all that stuff. I want you to take five minutes and think about you being successful. Imagine how it would feel not to have any bills, or to be driving a new car, or just having some extra money to go out with the guys (or girls) every week. It would feel good, wouldn't it? Trust me. You can have all that, and more if you work hard, and follow my directions. Remember, I do not promise you everything is going to be wine and roses. It's going to take time, effort, and determination to succeed. If you are willing to work at it, you can make as much money as you want selling online. What are you waiting for?

Davenport, Iowa. 1906. Dead bodies are piling up in Fairmount Cemetery at the rate of one per week, and the police seemingly wash their hands of the investigation, saying the killer fled the country. Everyone assumes the killer got away with murder until novelist Alice French and her partner, Jenny Crawford, take up the killer's trail. The investigation takes the amateur sleuths through the city's underbelly-visiting saloons, bawdy houses, and uncounted disreputable characters. Can they solve the case, or will they fall victim to the cemetery murderer?

The Sunday Night Murderer details the story of four separate ax murderers who plagued America from 1892 to 1919. A series of ax murders claimed the lives of twenty-five men, women, and children in the Midwest between 1911 and 1912. The axman, known as the Sunday Night Murderer or Billy the Axman, rode the rails, slaughtering families in small-town America. His most famous attack occurred in Villisca, Iowa, where he left eight dead bodies in his wake. Clementine Barnabet, the Voodoo murderess, claimed responsibility for murdering nineteen poor black families in Texas and Louisiana in 1911 and 1912. The police captured Clementine in November 1911, but the murders continued, leading many investigators to wonder if she was the killer. The New Orleans Axe Man preyed on Italian grocers in New Orleans and Gretna, Louisiana, in 1918 and 1919. The killer came in the night, entered the homes by chiseling out a panel in the back door, then disappeared in the night. On March 13, 1919, the Axe Man wrote a letter to the citizens of New Orleans addressed from Hell. He promised to spare anyone playing jazz music when he passed over the city at 12:15. Lizzie Borden was accused of murdering her parents in their Fall River, Massachusetts home on August 4, 1892. The police arrested Lizzie within days of the murders. She was tried and acquitted of the crimes, but the stigma never went away. The thing is, Lizzie may or may not have been the killer, but the police didn't have any evidence to connect her to the crime other than that she was in the house when her parents were killed.

Spine-Chilling Murders in San Francisco is a collection of true-life stories rescued from old newspaper accounts published over 100 years ago. Few events in this book have made it into print, except maybe in musky-old county histories. Even then, they are lucky to rate a paragraph. Roscoe Conkling Arbuckle, stage name "Fatty" Arbuckle, one of the hottest stars of the silent film era, hosted a party at the posh St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco in early September 1921. There was a lot of drinking, and one of the guests, a beautiful young starlet named Virginia Rappe, died several days later from an affliction that started at the party. Conkling was charged with manslaughter and tried three times. The bodies of two young women were discovered in the Emanuel Baptist Church in 1895. The primary suspect, W. H. Theodore Durrant, was a dental student at the Cooper Medical College in San Francisco. The thing was, Durrant wasn't someone you'd suspect of being a killer. He was active in the church and served as the church librarian and secretary for the Christian Endeavor Youth group. And yet, all signs pointed to Theodore Durrant as the killer. Albert Hoff, the San Francisco Troll, admitted being in the house with Mary Clute when she was killed. However, he insisted he didn't do it. Hoff was dirty, shifty, and nervous as detectives questioned him. Chief Isaiah Lees took an immediate disliking to Albert Hoff. Cordelia Botkin had a long-running affair with war correspondent John P. Dunning. She had picked him up out of the gutter and reinvigorated him spiritually, financially, and sexually. And then, not long before Dunning's wife was murdered, he told Cordelia Botkin that he intended to move back to New York with his wife when the war ended. Suspicion quickly fell on Cordelia Botkin. The prosecution had a strong case against her, but there were several obstacles they needed to overcome to try her. Of course, there are more stories, but you get the idea. Criminals roamed the streets of San Francisco at the turn of the century. Some killed for money, some for love, and others for the thrill of it. Read them if you dare.

Spine-Chilling Murders in Illinois is a collection of true-life stories, most of which were rescued from old newspaper accounts published over 100 years ago. Few events in this book have made it into print, except maybe in musky-old county histories. Even then, they are lucky to rate a paragraph. Burglars killed Chicago millionaire Amos Snell during a home invasion in 1888. The investigation took detectives on a winding course across the country, but the killer was never found. Finally, twenty-five years later, a deathbed confession showed the police had the killer in their hands just days after the murder. But unfortunately, they let him go due to a lack of evidence. H. H. Holmes murdered as many twenty-seven people during his fifteen-year crime spree. Holmes's base of operations was his murder castle in Elgin, Illinois. Most of his victims died so Holmes could collect the insurance policies he took on their lives. The others were sold to body snatchers for $25 to $55 per head. The car barn bandits were every Chicagoan's worst nightmare-four bored boys, armed and out for thrills, let the consequences be damned. They killed eight men in less than a year and injured almost a dozen more. After Gustave Marx's capture, the gang leader told reporters: "There are too damn many people walking around town. They ought to be glad to be put out of their misery." Johann Hoch, the Chicago Bluebeard, married as many as fifty women in the ten years between 1895 and 1905. Most times, he took their money and disappeared. Unfortunately, at least nine of Hoch's wives died shortly after marrying him. Later, when asked what all his wives died from, Hoch chuckled and said, "kidney problems, I suppose. "Ask the doctors. They know better than I do." The Cambridge Curse defied explanation. During the three years between 1905 and 1908, Henry County experienced ten murders, five suicides, two attempted suicides, and a bank robbery. The statistics were totally out of whack for a community of 1500. Chicago Tribune crime reporter Jake Lingle was gunned down in cold blood in a city subway station on June 9, 1930. At first, the city mourned his passing as a martyr in the fight against crime. But, before the month was out, evidence surfaced that Lingle was in deep with the city's mobsters. He was a personal friend of Al Capone and worked as a go-between for the gangsters and police. Of course, there's more, but you get the idea. Illinois was a dangerous place at the turn of the century. Read them if you dare.

This book is a quick history of General Ambrose Burnside's ill-fated Fredericksburg Campaign. In less than an hour, you will meet the major players, learn how the battle came about, and understand the significance of the Fredericksburg Campaign. For readers who want to know more, I've included the first complete reports of the battles as they appeared in The New York Tribune, the Chicago Daily Tribune, and The New York Evening Post. While not entirely accurate, they let you experience the war the way contemporary readers learned about it.

One of the biggest concerns as the Civil War wrapped up was that Confederate troops might disappear into the Appalachian Mountains where they could conduct guerrilla raids with relative impunity. If they did, the war could have been extended for years, maybe even decades as the insurgents crept out of their strongholds to conduct hit-and-run raids. Fortunately, that didn't happen. Confederate leaders like Robert E. Lee and Pete Longstreet reminded Southerners they lost the war. It was time to get on with their lives. Most southern veterans accepted the situation. A few, like Jesse and Frank James and the Younger brothers, couldn't accept defeat. They holed up in the backwoods of Missouri and fought a new kind of war, using tactics they'd learned under William Quantrill and Bloody Bill Anderson. Most members of the band had already robbed banks, derailed trains, and looted towns. The transition to outlaw was relatively easy. This is the story of the James-Younger Gang.

One hundred years ago Villisca, Iowa made the national spotlight when eight people were butchered in their sleep. Attention quickly turned to the Reverend Lyn Kelley, "a queer, strange, little preacher man," often accused of window peeping. Kelley said he was walking by the Moore house when a voice commanded him to, "Go in. Slay utterly." What could he do? He climbed the stairs and slaughtered the children. "Slay utterly. Suffer the little children." Back downstairs, he went into the parent's bedroom. "More work yet. There must be sacrifices of blood." Again, the ax did its work. In another downstairs bedroom, he discovered the Stillinger girls, asleep in their beds. "More work still." The ax resumed its work. Eight people were dead. The ax was satisfied. When Kelley recanted his confession, detectives developed dozens of other suspects, but none of them panned out. The Villisca Ax Murders remain Iowa's most famous cold-case file.

It's not the usual boring history read. It's a fast-paced, easy to read, behind the scenes look at the making of Iowa and Illinois focusing on Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois.

Bat Masterson knew better than most of his contemporaries that the majority of what was written about the old west was little more than rattlesnake piss and bat guano.He said, ""nerve was the quality that marked the great gunfighters.""Perhaps more telling is what Masterson suggested was the ""secret sauce"" that made the big-name gunfighters so fast.""We used to file the notch of the hammer till the trigger would pull 'sweet' which is another way of saying that the blame gun would pretty near go off if you looked at it."" But, ""the real gunfighters did not file the notches off."" They carried one gun in their hip-holster, and another ""swung under the armpit."" It let them ""draw on an adversary while he was waiting for the familiar motion toward the hip.""Here are the real stories of 23 outlaws, gunfighters, and lawmen.The truth may surprise you.

American history is full of strange paradoxes, and that's one of the things that make it so interesting. Here's one of the 37 stories you're going to read. Imagine what it would be like to wake up, flip on the morning news, and discover Bradley Cooper or Ashton Kutcher assassinated President Obama. That's what happened in 1865. People were shocked to learn John Wilkes Booth had killed President Lincoln. Booth was one of the most popular actors of his day. At just twenty-six years old, he was considered one of the most attractive men in America. Booth stood five feet, 8 inches tall, had a lean, athletic build, ivory skin, and curly, jet black hair. Women mobbed him on and off stage. At the time he killed Lincoln, Booth was pulling down $20,000 a year as an actor (roughly $300,000 in 2015 money). What was going on in the mind of John Wilkes Booth? What was it that turned this mild mannered actor into one of the most hated men of his generation?

Read this if you want to sell more books, make more money as an author, or rank higher in your category. My name is Nick Vulich. The first thing you should know about me is I'm not a writer, and I'm not an expert on self-publishing either. I never worked in the industry, and I don't have any experience working for the big publishers. In fact, the only thing I consider myself an expert in is how to sell on eBay, Amazon, and Fiverr... So why should you listen to me? Like most indie authors, I came into publishing through the back door. I had a story to tell, and one day I just sat down and let it all come out. What I wrote wasn't pretty, or polished...but, it helped a lot of people sell more stuff on eBay. What I couldn't say with fancy prose, I made up for with enthusiasm. Because of that, my books sold. I'm not going to lie to you. It wasn't easy. I read just about every book available on self-publishing. I studied up on KDP Free days, Countdown Deals, price pulsing...
