See Me (Breaking the Rules Series Book 1) by H.R. Hobbs

See Me (Breaking the Rules Series Book 1) by [Hobbs, H.R.]Hannah follows the rules, always. The rules at school. The rules at home. But what people don’t know is that Hannah has her own rules. They protect her. Keep her invisible.
And they work-until Chip Cavanagh arrives at her school. Chip doesn’t have rules. Hannah soon learns that being friends with Chip means she can’t be invisible any longer.

Excerpt

Chapter 1

No! No! No! Not behind me. Anywhere but behind me, I thought to myself, keeping my eyes firmly on my desk, trying to be invisible. My shoulders lifted and I tucked my chin to my chest to make myself as small as possible. Disappear, I thought, don’t let them see you.

Mrs. Barkowski stood at the front of the room with what appeared to be our newest classmate. I quickly glanced over Brandon’s shoulder and saw him standing in front of Mrs. Barkowski’s desk, shifting his weight from one foot to the other as if he had to pee. His dirty blond hair was cut short on the sides, the top longer and hanging over one eye. He was dressed in worn jeans and a T-shirt with Darth Vader on it. Both had seen better days. Mrs. Barkowski’s hand crept like a claw around his shoulders, making him appear even more uncomfortable. His body stiffened like a board and he eyed her hand distastefully. I could tell he didn’t like people touching him. Strange.

Mrs. Barkowski appeared oblivious to his reaction as she introduced him to the class.

“Class, this is our newest member, Toby Cavanagh. Toby has just moved here from Leduc. Please be sure to show him around and make him feel welcome.”

Twenty-four sets of eyes stared at Toby—all but mine. I kept my eyes firmly planted on my math notebook in front of me, and I imagined myself sinking through the floor.

I heard Toby say to Mrs. Barkowski, “Call me Chip.”

“Why would I call you that?” Mrs. Barkowski said, and I looked up despite myself. Her fists sat on her ample hips and her eyebrowsdisappeared into her curly brown bangs.

“That’s what everyone calls me,” he replied, a look of determination on his face.

This wasn’t going to go well, I could tell.

Mrs. Barkowski’s face mirrored Toby’s, staring right back at him. “Well, Toby, in this class we go by our given names. You may take the seat behind Hannah.”

So much for being invisible.

Using this watershed 2016 presidential election as the context, this book makes a candid analysis of the campaign contributions to various presidential candidates across three presidential election cycles.

Dirty Money: U.S. Presidential Election 2016 by Ramesh S Arunachalam

Dirty Money U.S. Presidential Election“Over a fourteen-year period from 1999 to 2013, one hedge fund carried out out an investment strategy utilizing hundreds of millions of trades, virtually all of which lasted less than 12 months, and characterized the vast majority of the resulting $34 billion in trading profits as long-term capital gains … resulting in estimated tax avoidance of more than $6 billion.”– Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, United States Senate, 2014

This publicly recorded statement exposes the shocking truth about how Wall Street, and the billionaire class, have continued to manipulate and exploit the financial system, taking advantage of loop holes to pull the wool over the eyes of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Routing some of this `dirty money’ into the election campaign coffers of various presidential candidates provides them with access to the levers of power in Washington D.C.. The 2016 U.S. presidential election has seen a lot of attention focused on this ‘corrupt’ political campaign finance system. It’s time the real truth emerged.

Using this watershed 2016 presidential election as the context, this book makes a candid analysis of the campaign contributions to various presidential candidates across three presidential election cycles (2008, 2012 and 2016) to trace the total flow of ‘dirty money’ from its source to those presidential campaigns.

While America has typically been allowed to see just the tip of iceberg so far, ‘Dirty Money,’ reveals the dirty money trail it in its entirety, making available previously hidden information on the top donors in each presidential election cycle, and the beneficiaries of their vast contributions.

If you believe in democracy, at all, this is a must read.

About the author of Dirty Money: U.S. Presidential Election 2016, Ramesh S Arunachalam:

Ramesh S Arunachalam wears many hats. He is an Engineer (REC Trichy, 1984/5) and MBA (Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, USA, 1988) by training.

His latest film, Yeh Hai Bakrapur had a successful all India and global premiere in 2014. It was especially well recognized for its very innovative marketing – using the Kaun Banega PM mobile game (with over 42000 downloads) and other eclectic strategies – in taking feature films to the masses. During the last 28 years, Ramesh has worked in over 260 professional assignments across 560 districts of India.

At the age of five, Sarah Lentz was diagnosed with hypothyroidism — and with a bone age of nine months — making it more than likely that she was born with at least subclinical hypothyroidism, though the only evidence of it at the time was jaundice.

The Hypothyroid Writer: Seven daily habits that will heal your brain, feed your creative genius, and help you write like never before by Sarah Lentz

Sarah Lentz, The Hypothyroid Writer: Seven daily habits that will heal your brain, feed your creative genius, and help you write like never beforeWriting for a living can be enough of a challenge, but if you’re living with thyroid dysfunction, you know it affects everything — and it makes it all the harder to succeed as a writer.

Are you struggling with low energy, brain fog, increased sensitivity, depression, or anxiety? Have you ever thought of writing a book, only to catch yourself thinking you’re not likely to succeed with that when you can barely manage doing enough to survive?

Hypothyroidism can make it difficult to get a lot done each day, but if you’d like to learn not only how to thrive in all areas of your life, but also how to get the right things done each day and become the powerful and prolific writer you were born to be, you need this book.

If you’re hypothyroid and worried about declining brain function, and you’re looking for a book that will help you heal your brain and keep it healthy for as long as possible, read this book!

The Hypothyroid Writer begins with an overview of the challenges posed by hypothyroidism for millions — many of whom have discovered a passion for writing, because it helps them to cope with their symptoms.

The second part of the book covers seven different habits and how they will heal your brain, give your creative genius the attention it deserves, and help you make the most of your passion for writing.

This is more than a book, though; it’s an invitation to connect with the author and with others on her blog who insist on thriving even when their thyroid treatment doesn’t help as much as they’d like. There’s plenty we can do on our own to become healthier and to grow as writers. Join the team and share your own story — where you are, what you’ve learned, and what you’d still like to do.

Go ahead and click on the “Buy it now” button and open the door to a new world of thriving and creating. Begin practicing the seven habits described in this book, and see if they don’t light a new fire in you to become the lively and unstoppable writer you know you can be.

About the author, Sarah Lentz:

Sarah LentzAt the age of five, Sarah Lentz was diagnosed with hypothyroidism — and with a bone age of nine months — making it more than likely that she was born with at least subclinical hypothyroidism, though the only evidence of it at the time was jaundice.

While Synthroid enabled her to catch up physically with her peers, she struggled to catch up in other ways, and even now, in her early forties, she still feels the need to catch up — and to heal.

At five years of age, she was also evaluated by someone with the Department of Education and declared “borderline retarded.” She did struggle academically for years (until high school, anyway, which is when math finally became fun), but she learned coping strategies along the way that made it easier to read, to study, and to remember what she learned.

In college, she collaborated with two college professors on a book of Peruvian and Oregonian poetry — translating some of the Peruvian poems and one of the professor’s introductions. She finished her Spanish degree at the University of Oviedo in northern Spain and traveled the country alone for two weeks after finishing the term. She still loves to travel and hopes to do more of it with her family.

After finishing her first NaNoWriMo in 2015 (and the first draft of her first novel) — and reading The Miracle Morning for Writers — she decided it was time to do what she had to do to get her first nonfiction book written and self-published by the end of 2016. So, she joined Self-Publishing School and wrote The Hypothyroid Writer.

If you like Peter F. Hamilton, David Weber, or Chris Fox’s Void Wraith series, you’ll love Star Swarm, Chaos Wave Book 1, an exciting new space opera trilogy.

Star Swarm: The Chaos Wave Book One by James Palmer 

Star Swarm: The Chaos Wave Book One by [Palmer, James]Man’s outer colonies are being destroyed one by one, leaving nothing behind. Suspecting an old enemy, Captain Henry Kuttner, of the Solar Navy rail-gun ship the Onslaught, wants to investigate.

But the Onslaught is scheduled to be decommissioned, and Captain Kuttner given mandatory retirement on one of the League’s pleasure worlds. But this old war dog isn’t going down without a fight.

Going against orders, Kuttner leads his crew in search of answers. That search leads straight into the territory of mankind’s former enemies, the deadly reptilian Draconi, whose colonies are also being destroyed, and they blame man.

Now the crew of the Onslaught must risk violating a fragile peace treaty and all out war to solve a cosmic mystery before more lives are lost. Only the ship’s maverick second in command and a disgraced Draconi scientist can unravel the secret of this enigmatic enemy and its sinister purpose before it’s too late. But there are certain factions who want the human-Draconi war to begin anew, and they’ll stop at nothing to make it happen.

And meanwhile, in the outer dark, an ancient enemy returns. An enemy known only in the songs of a long-dead alien race. An enemy that leaves chaos in its wake.

A maverick first officer, a misfit crew and an aging vessel are all that stand between humanity and total destruction.

If you like Peter F. Hamilton, David Weber, or Chris Fox’s Void Wraith series, you’ll love Star Swarm, the first volume in an exciting new space opera trilogy.

“Classic military science fiction in the vein of David Weber, with conspiracies and ancient threats throughout. I want the next book now.” –Joseph Cadotte, author of In the Land of Nod
