Zenda’s Story : Cameron McVey
Zenda isn’t real. That’s the first thing she’ll tell you. Then she’ll tell you a whole bunch more. Stuff you won’t understand. Not at first. Zenda’s story will give you what you need to know to make sense of “The Curated Worlds” series as it begins. Consider it a primer for the adventures of Alva Albish, Valia Huntington, a few other clones and the semi-real worlds they inhabit. Make no mistake, the fate of the universe will be decided by the end of the series. In fact, the fate of multiple universes. The question is: which one is the real one? Welcome to “The Curated Worlds.”
“The Curated Worlds” follows the life of one Alva Albish. Alva is a clone. She doesn’t know this – yet. Discovering this will be more than a rude awakening for her. It will change her life. There are other clones, too. Valia. Amelia. Cade, Jo and Ash. Then there’s Zenda. Zenda isn’t a clone. In fact, she’s not even real. But she desperately wants to be. “The Curated Worlds” series is full of ray guns, superheroes, missile attacks, giant monsters, super villains, time travel, supercomputers, genetic engineering, virtual reality and, oh yeah, a couple of trips to comic con. And a really cool museum!
I’ve read comic books ever since I was five years old. For Christmas in 1974, my parents gave me the recently published “Origins of Marvel Comics.” In graduate school, I wrote my master’s thesis on the structure of the modern, American, superhero comic book (“How Green is Your Power Ring?”). When I started writing fiction more than a decade later, it was inevitable that I would write a superhero story. A few years back I published a book called L.A.ser Boy. Then I un-published it. You see, L.A.ser Boy‘s simple story morphed into a whole world of stories. Multiple worlds of stories. “The Curated Worlds”.

Re-Elect the President : Michael J. Walsh
Michael Sullivan, elected president in 2016, after four years in office, has erased much of the damage done to the country by the Obama Administration, yet sees great danger in the rise of a growing socialist movement within the Democratic Party. The elitist left has taken over the party in California, Oregon and Washington, and most of the northeast states including New York. He determines four more years are needed to destroy this Godless, freedom denying, political philosophy embraced by the Democrats.
The Democrats choose David Bronson, Governor of California, and Senator Pricilla Morrison to run against him. The President warns the country a win by the socialist Democrats means loss of freedom.
He wins a second term in a close election and goes on to confront the Russians and the Chinese when they threaten the United States, protects the southern border from illegal entry, reforms health care, immigration, social security, passes infrastructure legislation, crushes the socialist movement, and appoints two more Supreme Court Justices. As his second term winds down he campaigns for the election of his Vice President, Bernard Winslow, to win the 2024 election.

Pituca : Yviebeth Bardug
This book is the story of Liz, a driven independent woman, facing the challenges of what has shaped her life in her growing years, her journey towards accepting the past, the mistakes and achievements of her family as well as accepting the mistakes people who cared for her made. Moving on and recognising that what she was and made her were effectively those challenges. She was stronger and better because of these events.
By accepting that her journey, by fate or individual design, had created an alluring, successful but at the same time insecure individual who craved the company of her mother, who missed her brother as they were both forced to grow quickly in order to maintain the family unit.
By understanding her past and acknowledging the gift of the future, Liz was able to clearly see the value of real honest friendship and the meaning of rewarding those who cared and moving on from those who did not.

Unheralded : Dr. Brent Neale Melloy
In 2006 the Lamar Consolidated Mustang football team was considered the favorite to win the Division I Class 4 A state title in Texas. After being upset in their semi-final matchup, graduation took a heavy toll on the team. 2007 was considered by most pundits to be a rebuilding year. But once Head Coach Lydell Wilson started to put the pieces back together, he realized the 2007 squad was his one legitimate shot to catch lightning in a bottle. The Mustangs were told they would be downgrading in talent at almost every position, which only strengthened their resolve to prove the pundits wrong.
Jacquizz Rodgers, at 5’7″, had heard throughout his career that he was too small to be an impact football player. Now, in 2007, he was once again hearing the naysayers doubting himself and his team as they sought to win the school’s first-ever state championship. But first, they would need to overcome several early-season injuries to key players to even make the playoffs Then, they would have to get past future Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III and his #1 state ranked Copperas Cove Bulldawgs.
Read along as the Mighty Mustangs of 2007 overcame one obstacle after another as they fought to fulfill their dream. See how an eclectic group of teammates, including a group of Nigerians who had moved into the area, bonded together early in childhood to form a solid nucleus going into their high school years. Though few of them were considered to be “blue chip” athletes, the relatively unknown and unheralded boys from Richmond, Texas had something to prove.

Apotheosis Now: : Rabbit Hole to the Beyond : Yanhao Huang
Resolve all your confusion in life!
A mind that is fragmented and sees the world in terms of what is me and not me, good and bad, will be caught in endless conflict. Because externally, we are always trying to control what is “not me,” and internally, we always get perplexed trying to figure out whether our actions came from our “higher” or “lower” self. As Albert Einstein said: “We can not solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them.”
This book will help you to understand:
– Why we have internal conflicts
– How does our ego trap us in undesirable circumstances
– How do our beliefs limit us
– Why thought-based teachings (Law of Attraction), or self-improvement advice don’t work
– How do we really get what we want
– Why is happiness so rare for us
– Who we are really
– What is the nature of existence
– What is the meaning of life
– How do we know if there is a God
– What is the process of spiritual enlightenment
Many of us are starting to become tired of this game of life. We have been comparing and striving all our life. But no matter how much success we have achieved—we are still hollow and still have found nothing fulfilling. We don’t even know if happiness exists because it is no longer a living thing in our experience—it has become dead, as we only know it as a concept or memory.
We have sought self-help advice, philosophies, and religious teachings to transform ourselves but have not gotten anywhere. We have made some superficial improvements—like adopting a new mindset—but our core remains the same. We are still competitive, still fearful, and we get disturbed all the time.
The problem with all attempts at self-improvement is that we do not address the fundamental problem, which is: who is the “you” who needs to be improved? We do not see that the one who is making the improvement is the same one who needs to be improved. The more we try to improve, the more conflict we introduce, within and without. The more knowledge we stuff in our heads, the more we become trapped in a conceptual prison of reality. Inevitably, the more confused we get in life.
The book guides the reader out of their distorted beliefs to experience reality beyond the mind. When the deeper intelligence is allowed to flourish without our mind’s interference, then the game of life becomes effortless.

Memories of the Andes : José Luis ‘Coche’ Inciarte
When Coche Inciarte boarded Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 on Friday 13th October 1972, he planned to sit next to his best friend Gastón Costemalle at the back of the plane. But another boy got there just ahead of him, and Coche found a seat further forward.
Ninety minutes later, Gastón was gone – sucked out of the back of the plane along with several others when the plane struck a peak in the Andes. Miraculously, twenty-nine passengers – members and friends of the Old Christians rugby club – survived the initial impact.
Stranded in the mountains for seventy-two days, Coche and his companions endured one of history’s most extraordinary struggles for survival. Several died of their injuries and eight were killed in an avalanche that trapped the remaining boys in the broken fuselage for three days. Developing gangrene in one leg, Coche was rendered largely immobile. Unable to contribute to the more physical tasks, he made it his mission to raise the spirits of his fellow survivors through humour, love, and support.
Coche survived the Andes, but only just; and in this uplifting and thought-provoking memoir – written in memory of his friend Gastón – he brings alive his time on the mountain and reflects on the profound effect that it has had on his life, and on what it means to be human.
