At The Crossroads : Jitty Sethi
At The Crossroads
The entire script proceeds in one continuous flow, like a film or movie, devoid of any chapters.
“AT THE CROSSROADS” is not a love story… But a story of love. Love prevails in every heart. Love can make miracles, and love can make disasters.
How one Tsunami appears so much smaller than the tangled, embroiled mess of these four beautiful young people in this tsunami.
The unknown fagged out spark from the ashes, suddenly flamed up and engulfed these four young people. And how they go though it…
Discovering Your Optimum Happiness Index (OHI) Quotes Handbook 365Q : Errol A. and Marjorie G. Gibbs
Discovering Your Optimum Happiness Index (OHI) Quotes Handbook 365Q
(A Chronology of Optimum Happiness Index (OHI) Quotes to Engage, Enlighten, and Empower Your “Pursuit of Happiness”)
THE AUTHORS’ OFFER THESE 365 QUOTES TO AWAKEN THE OPTIMUM HAPPY PERSON IN YOU
This handbook “Discovering Your Optimum ‘Happiness Index’ (OHI) Quotes Handbook 365Q” is a rich, inspirational, and chronological listing (abbreviated) of verses taken from our main book “Discovering Your Optimum ‘Happiness Index’ (OHI).” Marjorie and I began our inquiry in earnest in the year 2000 as a response to the question “What is happiness?” In the year 2015, the analysis gave birth to “Discovering Your Optimum ‘Happiness Index’ (OHI) Project.” It is our way of presenting our primary text in an innovative “reading by verses” format. Read this handbook, and you will discover the greatness of the divine creation and the awe-inspiring purpose of your existence on Earth.
This collection of 365 quotes will engage, enlighten, and empower your search for happiness. Whether you are an academic, intellectual, visionary, philosopher, or a lay-people, you will derive intrinsic benefits from these quotes. They will change the way you think about happiness, your purpose, and our shared destiny. They will engender “new” hope for human survival, informed by the vast “body of knowledge” given to us by the great biblical prophets, ancient writers, visionary leaders of yesteryear, and contemporary writers.
The postmodern world has ushered in significant advancements in fields such as religion, education, science and engineering, social sciences, and medicines. Notwithstanding these achievements, the fundamental truth of our existence has not changed over the centuries. We are interdependent beings that rely on each other for our ‘happiness nurturing,’ and our survival as a viable species.
Nations still compete unfairly and often make war over differences in ideology, religion; the quest for territory; military supremacy, and the world’s natural resources. These and other unresolved challenges of past and present centuries imperil human existence and cause great unhappiness. Marjorie and I respond to these observations from a perspective of our combined travel experiences on four continents—Africa, Europe, North America, and Oceania—approximately twelve countries, twenty-four states, and about one hundred cities, towns, and villages over several decades.
Global travel afforded us a “panoramic view” and put us on the “front lines” to observe how people in these parts of the world experience happiness and unhappiness. The observation is the same, the need for love, peace, hope, happiness, and “joy.” Whether you live in the Orient or the Occident, wealthy or poor, academic or layperson, religious or irreligious, we invite you to join us in a Global Optimum Happiness Index Movement (GOHIM) as a critical enabler in the pursuit of a better world for current and future generations.
Happiness means to discover one’s genius, which is to determine one’s highest capability, and develop it to the “Optimum.” Happiness means to understand that all people have a common desire for universal love, fairness, and justice. It means honesty and integrity, competency in business, generosity in spirit, and sharing thoughts, hopes, dreams, and aspirations. Reading this handbook will inspire hope for the twenty-first century and the new millennium. It will encourage you to life–changing actions for your betterment and the betterment of humanity. It will better inform your journey in your search for “Optimum Happiness” (OH), underpinned by “joy” — the higher Imperative of happiness.
“This handbook is a timely and relevant encapsulation of the multifaceted dynamics encountered in one’s ’search for happiness.’ Not only have the authors opened up a panorama of ways to view happiness, but their self-directed guide [in their main book] also challenges the reader to examine their personal past, present, and possible future states of happiness. Their extensive body of work speaks to individuals from all lifestyles and professions.” ― Karla A. Hutchinson-Skeete, MSEd (Educator), Current Doctoral Candidate, Decatur, Georgia, USA

Conservative V. Liberal : Joseph Patterson
Conservative V. Liberal
Conservative V. Liberal is a mini ebook written in rhythm & rhyme that dissects every facet of liberalism while making the case for conservatism as a superior political & social philosophy.
In doing so I outline the failures of the Obama administration, the scandalous DNA of the Clintons, the malfeasance of the Democrat Party & court system, & most of all, the hypocrisy embedded in the core principles of liberalism as an ideology.
It is fact based & data driven with a touch of witty to make this a “one of a kind” enjoyable read.
Dark Bargain : Eileen Lepetit
Dark Bargain
Arriving in the middle-of-nowhere France for her annual summer vacation at her grandparents’ house, soon-to-be pre-med student Lili Shepherd discovers that mastering calculus theorems will be the least of her problems as her oldest and closest childhood friend, Pascal, has suddenly reappeared after a four year absence with the news that he has done the unthinkable, striking a deal with the Devil.
For a girl who normally considers gym class, spiders, and sleeping in the dark to be pretty terrifying, helping Pascal face down demons will be no easy task. His actions haven’t left Lili much choice, though, as the Devil now roams freely in the once sleepy rural town, popping up in church, the local bakery, and even at home where her beloved grandparents are vulnerable in the face of the danger this deceptively charming stranger represents.
With no other options, Lili will be forced to combine her considerable intelligence, quick wit, and a previously untapped store of courage to defeat the Devil who walks among them before he comes calling for the soul of the boy who may turn out to be more than a just an old friend.
The Full Spectrum : Phoebe Quinn
The Full Spectrum
Who are you?
Strange flashes of light, the train that only stops at one station, the girl who reappeared, and a plant with unusual properties – these illuminate the dark corners that have been forgotten or ignored, and cast new shadows on unexamined faces.
The Full Spectrum is a novel of interlinked stories about expectation and suppression, liberation and oppression, and whether there is truth in your true self.
We can try to hide parts of ourselves, but sometimes the colours bleed through.
Entromancy : M. S. Farzan
Entromancy: Book One of the Nightpath Trilogy
2076 is not a good year to be a special agent. A quarter of the world’s power runs on ceridium, a newly discovered element that has had the unintended consequence of spawning a new race of people, and several forms of magic that were once thought to have been forgotten.
Eskander Aradowsi is an agent of NIGHT, a paramilitary force created to contain and control this new perceived threat, but he soon learns that not all within his organization is as it seems.
A botched mission turns out to be the least of his troubles, when he unearths a plot that threatens the uneasy truce between the aurics and humans of San Francisco, and centers on a form of magic that toys with the very fabric of the universe: Entromancy.

The Sex Thief : Edwin Jones
The Sex Thief
“The Sex Thief” is the working title of my first novel.
I am trying to express escapist ideas in an erotic way, whilst not forgetting to tell a human story woven in an intellectual plot. I have chosen realistic scenarios and driven them into a fantasy world.
I expect my readers to be worker-bees who toil hard from 9 am to 8 pm on every business day of the week. I can sense that my readers are looking for a way to escape the burdens of normal life. I draw a ‘Magical Door’ for them through my gift of sensual imagination and take them into a world free of mundane worries.
The novel which I have completed has escapist scenarios which are not limited to:
· Receiving a blow-job while brushing your teeth
· Women masturbating inside a ‘Maserati Granturismo Sport’
· Catching a cab-ride into blue waters with the help of ‘Bottle-nosed’ Dolphins
· Witnessing a fight between a Jaguar and a Tiger
· Heeding to a Blue Whale’s heartbeat
· Listening to a Sea-horse explaining Beethoven’s “Fifth Symphony”
The plot involves a scientist – Catherine who dreams of a world without humans. She commits suicide after destroying her ultra-secret lab. She has created an unstoppable monster that consumes humans without mercy. Detective Michael has been chosen to unravel vital secrets hidden in an unexplored mind. When Michael travels into Catherine’s mind he is exposed to a dark side of Catherine that no one had ever witnessed. Catherine refuses to show Michael the secret until the very last moment.
Femme Fatale : Dominic Piper
Femme Fatale
When private investigator Daniel Beckett foils an assault on a young girl in London’s West End, it leads to an offer of work from a sinister and unlikely source in Soho’s Chinatown.
But what starts out as a straightforward missing persons’ case soon takes on a more ominous aspect as he discovers a trail of blackmail, sadistic violence, conspiracy and murder, plus an influential, privileged and poisonous presence that seems to permeate all spheres of society.
The perpetrators, however, are not expecting to encounter an individual like Beckett; an intelligent, amoral and fearless individual with a skill-set that points to a covert and violent past.
Acquiring an entrancing and mysterious female associate, his investigation leads him into London’s electrifying burlesque scene where it seems some of the answers may lie.
But no one is as they seem, and the truth is unexpected and disturbing.
