"This book is for anyone who's ever been fooled." In her debut book, Foolproof Heart, Author Michelle Gochett Edwards takes readers on a literary journey from infatuated to wounded, fooled to healed.

Readers familiar with the narcissistic abuse cycle of idealizing, devaluing and discarding will recognize the initial feelings of euphoria and inevitable hopelessness along with the unmistakable growth after severing a bond with a narcissist. See how the protagonist grapples with deception and a loss of self-esteem before discovering renewed strength, and confidence. This poetic journey from heartbroken to healed will leave you armed and inspired.

In 2013, with the United States still reeling from the Boston Marathon bombing, the US Capital and Federal Buildings were evacuated when the nation was told the American capitol was under a chemical weapons attack in the form of ricin sent to political targets. The more of the investigation that was revealed to the press, the stranger it all got, with embarrassing FBI mismanagements tainting the Obama administration and its DOJ, with Attorney General Eric Holder and FBI Director Bob Mueller at the helm. The very strange and inexplicable arrest was followed by the release of a bizarre mailing suspect who was practically unquestioned by the 2013 administration-friendly press, as that administration then suddenly focused instead on the smearing, destruction and prosecution of who that press called a "mysterious figure", James Everett Dutschke.From the highest levels of government, a special prosecution team, led by the National Security Division, was tasked to convict Dutschke and paint him as a terrorist and a "dangerous assassin." That label stuck as the media, even years later, continued to repeat that administration's narrative.Unbeknownst to the world-wide press, the American President, Obama, had directed A.G. Eric Holder, with the initial endorsement of Bob Mueller (then later Jim Comey) to implement a very rare executive power called the SAM, invoked only in extreme matters involving national security (28 CFR 501.2/.3) which imprisons and prosecutes any person (convicted or not, accused or not) at the will of the Chief Executive (alone), revoking any and all constitutional protections. This rarely invoked extraconstitutional power, unknown to the American public, is now revealed in this book, and for the first time.Why did that administration need Dutschke silenced, vanishing into the Attorney General's personal secret prison (SAM unit)? How is this related to strings of sudden and untimely deaths separated by years and thousands of miles? Who were involved and how do these various points of America's national security connect?A former analyst now connects them: previously classified events-revealing The Perfect Weapon.Everything you were told, everything you thought you knew... is wrong.

The Halcyon program has only grown in respect and mystique over their now fifteen years of matchmaking. When I went through it six years ago, they were still boasting 100% success of all the participants. Single, usually hopeless, candidates leave the program as part of a couple. The foolproof methods Halcyon uses to guarantee a soulmate comes from a blend of technology, biology, psychology, and, of course, sex. Naturally, with its high price tag, extensive, invasive testing, and painstaking process, only serious participants make it through, and everyone found success. Until us.

Since the handsome middle eastern playboy "ghosted" her, she wonders if he even cares enough about either of them to reach out. Little does she know that Bel Hafiz has plenty to hide, including the fact that he hasn't been able to get the gorgeous, one-of-a-kind Kimberly Pritchard out of his head, or his heart.

Follow-up to the successful debut, Amara's Calling! Mya McIntosh is attending the wedding of the year as the maid of honor to her best friend Amara Davis, the former employee and wife of billionaire social media mogul Grayson Davis. A dazzling destination wedding in Spain seems like the perfect setting for Mya to finally lose this pesky virginity of hers, but her prospects don't look promising. Amara has high hopes that Mya could land one of Grayson's billionaire best friends but Mya isn't so sure, especially when it comes to Grayson's obnoxious business partner Dale Abernathy.

"Funny, witty and charming!" "The quality of this debut will catch you off guard." "A unique spin on the billionaire CEO/virgin love story." Webster founder and CEO Grayson Davis has been misdiagnosed so many times that he trusts only himself to know what's wrong with him. And after 30-something years so far, he's got no leads-- only symptoms. Once he became a successful and handsome billionaire, the ghosts of his bullied, tortured childhood got locked away, and sex with exotic women became his self-soothing method of choice. Enter Amara Riley who's Grayson's lowly employee, not-so-secret stan, and inexperienced in more ways than one. Seeking his sexual expertise, Amara works up the confidence to brazenly proposition her playboy boss after sparks fly during a chance encounter at the office. When Grayson insists that Amara doesn't stand a chance against his blunt, womanizing ways, Amara ignores his reservations and strikes a deal: 30 days, one million dollars. No strings attached. Once Grayson takes the deal against his better judgment, neither anticipate the emotional challenges the contract will bring. Will Amara learn the hard way that she just isn't built for meaningless sex? Or will it be Grayson who fears that Amara could potentially walk away with more than just his money?

Venezuela: Un país que pasó de ser la economía más próspera y el país latinoamericano más estable, a la ruina financiera y un estado fallido. El colapso de la nación con las mayores reservas petrolíferas del mundo ha sido analizado por académicos y estudiosos para intentar comprender qué fue lo que sucedió. La explicación que muchos venezolanos que hoy emigran alrededor del mundo dan sin dudarlo, es que Hugo Chávez y Nicolás Maduro fueron los culpables.Como un estadounidense que vivió en Venezuela, Héctor reconoce que muchas de las políticas de Chávez y Maduro fueron responsables de la debacle, pero también propone que hubo otro responsable del colapso: el venezolano común. A través del Manual Para Destruir Un País, Héctor intentará convencer al lector de que si bien en una sociedad, los políticos y líderes son responsables del destino de una nación, las personas comunes como usted y yo son igual o más responsables que ellos.La narrativa de Héctor está llena de conocimientos, humanidad, perspectiva, lógica, interacción con el lector, algo de sátira y humor y, ante todo, vivencias reales que pueden aplicarse en el día a día de cualquier entorno. Quizás sea una buena idea leer lo que tiene compartir, porque tal vez tenga razón en su análisis, y de no prestar atención a las señales que él prematuramente vio en Venezuela, el sitio donde usted vive o trabaja puede ser el siguiente en colapsar.

The adventures continue in Volume IV with Brother Big John Deacon a larger-than-life Texas Freemason and Past Master. He towers at 6 feet 7 inches tall and weighs in at 275 pounds. People seem to always notice him in his black alligator boots and 7X Stetson Silverbelly cowboy hat. He commands attention when he walks into a room with his plain-spoken and exuberant personality. Brother Chris Williams met him several years ago when Brother Deacon's large black F-350 pick-up truck needed repairs. Brother Williams has authentically captured Big John's gruff but gentle cowboy charm and values, which his Masonic membership reinforces. The story of their friendship and adventures is appealing and memorable. Readers may also be familiar with the "Old Tyler's Talks" by Carl H. Claudy, which first appeared in 1921. In many ways, the John Deacon series is a contemporary version of them. Within the pages of each book, there is a pearl of folksy wisdom that is timeless. Brother Deacon is a mix of walking (and mechanical) disasters and knowledge born of passion and profound reflections on Freemasonry and today's Lodge challenges. The John Deacon book series will have readers laughing, crying, and, more importantly, reflecting on Freemasonry.
