Life and Death – Making Sense of It : Francis O’Neill
Life and Death – Making Sense of It
A thought-provoking spiritual perspective on our lives.
Sometime, some day, maybe not all that far away, you are going to leave your physical body and move on… This will be the biggest event of your life, and if you haven’t yet considered it, or made preparation for it, then you really ought to read this book…
Written by a reformed sceptic, Life and Death – Making Sense of It, will take you on an adventure to exploring just what it is you have let yourself in for – by coming to the Earth. It offers insight and clarity on our situation. It proposes answers to leading questions about life and death – and these answers are a long way from what we are being taught by conventional means.
The book challenges our increasingly secular take on life, and its denial of the afterlife. It draws on a range of sources, including the paranormal, NDE, past lives, and mediumship. It explores and offers an explanation for the rise of human consciousness. It provides insight, including esoteric perspectives, into the soul, reincarnation, karma and the ‘Other Side.’
In his twenties, the author, Francis O’Neill, was an atheist and existentialist in his beliefs. Only later did he realise he had got it wrong. This was after experiencing one particular paranormal event – he’s had a few – and later coming across a book by C.G. Jung. From that point on he began to explore life from a different perspective. It has become his lifelong study and research, taking him into archaeology, astrology, psychology and esoteric knowledge, to gain a clearer understanding of the human situation.
This book is the outcome and reflection on his personal journey.
The book is available in paperback and ebook versions – Kindle, EPUB and PDF. Get the Introduction and related articles for free – visit the book’s website.

Court On Mount High
There is growing frustration, discontent, and fear among the animal kingdom. Entire species have become extinct and hundreds more are endangered. There seems to be no end to their suffering.
The environment, too, is being plagued by deforestation and contaminants; both the water and air are highly polluted. The few humans who are rich and powerful wield seemingly unstoppable power while the majority of humanity are helpless, manipulated, and abused.
Finally, one soul summons the moral strength to question the status quo, and the unthinkable happens! Court on Mount High is an invigorating novelette that will inflame and mobilize a passion for the animal kingdom and the environment, which we mutually inhabit.
The characters, acting upon a driving need for change, evoke a universal hope for the future.

Campanelli : Siege of the Nighthunter : Frederick H. Crook
June, 2110. A serial killer strikes the populace of the City of Chicago. The first victim is a wanted man by Detective Frank Campanelli’s Sentinel Division. His body had been mutilated and, from the evidence uncovered by forensic genius, H. Lincoln Rothgery, it has been partially consumed. The unknown invader leaves a trail of corpses behind in short order, including that of a homicide detective.
To add to the mystery, the DNA evidence retrieved from a stolen vehicle indicates that the killer is former military, but special encoding prevents the murderer from being identified. Frank’s partner, Marcus Williams, seems to know more about what’s going on than he lets on, until the former Navy SEAL calls in a friend from the FBI to help.
“The Nighthunter”, as the media has labeled him, instills terror and virtually shuts down Chicago. Together, Campanelli, Williams, and the agent must work to capture the enigmatic and frighteningly efficient cannibal.

“A STORM IS COMING. AND IT’LL WIPE THIS EARTH CLEAN.”
Roy’s Sullivan’s world is falling apart. His wife and son have deserted him. His brother Jimmy, a private military contractor, has vanished into thin air somewhere in the Iraqi desert.

Sammy French, a violent criminal, is in need of a favour, one that a suddenly compromised Roy has no choice but to grant. Forced to take part in a perilous criminal conspiracy, Roy’s future is bleaker than the run-down estate he lives on.
Yet as the walls close in around him a mysterious stranger enters Roy’s crumbling world, a former Navy Seal who knows the truth about the Nine Eleven attacks, a man haunted by demons and hunted by powerful forces, a man who holds the key to the mystery of Jimmy Sullivan’s disappearance while guarding a covert facility deep in the Iraqi desert.
For Roy, this troubled and dangerous stranger will come to represent his only chance of escape, not only from the uncertainty of his brother’s fate and the clutches of a vicious gangster, but also from the coming storm, one that threatens to decimate humanity and usher in a ruthless and terrifying New World Order.

It’ll Feel Better When It Quits Hurting : Lisa Orban
It’ll Feel Better When It Quits Hurting
Many years ago my friends and I would sit around and play what we called “Jerry Springer: the Home Game”. The object of the game was to see how many upcoming shows we qualified for, with the story to support our claim, and whoever had the most at the end of the program won. I was the reigning champion.
This book started off as just a lighthearted collection of anecdotes, stories shared with friends over the years to both the horror and delight of my audience. But as I began to write I realized that the humor of my life comes not from the light moments, but the dark, and without those moments being included much of the humor would be lost without that context.
This book is a bit darker than I initially intended, but I hope that while reading this I can make you smile, even on occasion laugh out loud at the ridiculousness of the situations I have found myself in over the years, and that you, like me, can find the humor in all the dark places.
I do not believe I have any wisdom to share in this telling, nor is it even an inspirational tale of achievement by overcoming adversity, it is simply my life that I have survived. For better or for worse, this is the mostly true, fairly accurate, and almost completely factual account of my life.
Some liberties have been taken to protect the somewhat innocent and a few small embellishments were made for the sake of a good story.
