    Did the girl of your dreams turn into your worst nightmare? Recognize the signs of a narcissistic partner and learn what you can do today! 
    Get your copy of Narcissistic Women and discover how to:Spot a narcissistic woman before starting a relationship with her.Recognize a narcissistic wife, manage the divorce, and navigate co-parenting.Protect your children from parental alienation.Recognize financial abuse and recover from it.Heal from codependency and narcissistic abuse syndrome.Break old toxic relationship patterns and learn to appreciate healthy, empathetic, balanced adult women. 
    ...and much more. 
    It can be extremely difficult for men to recognize and admit when a woman has abused them. This is due to a cultural stigma: in our society, admitting abuse is considered shameful for men. 
    Therefore, when experiencing an abusive relationship, men face an additional obstacle - lack of understanding and resources. Since the mental health industry is hyper-feminized, men are often left alone with their problems, feeling like they have no way out. Their suffering is often neither acknowledged nor addressed. 
    Prior to this book's publication, male victims of narcissistic women didn't receive the recognition they deserved, and the issue of female narcissists was regularly downplayed. 
    If you're an empathetic man suffering from narcissistic abuse, it can be especially hard to seek and obtain help due to social stigma. 
    Caroline Foster wrote this book to help you escape your toxic relationship, begin healing, and regain control of your life - so you can find your true soulmate.Ready to turn a new page in your life story? Start listening now!

    Discovering Characters - Think...

    Discovering Characters is like investigating a house we want to buy. 
    No, I’m serious. Characters have an exterior façade that we comment upon as we drive past. Through the windows we catch glimpses of interior lives.  
    As writers, we want to capture individual characters and save them from the cookie-cutter boxy stereotypes. We delve into their interior rooms for glimpses of weighty baggage. Finding their backstory is a search through attics and cellars, storage closets and garages. Characters hide their pain and fears, painting them over and adding distracting artwork. 
    Discovering Characters helps writers find the exteriors and interiors, public and private. We’ll dig around the foundations and climb to the roof. We’ll explore the open rooms and the storage closets. We’ll peek into rooms inhabited by such characters as diverse as Elizabeth and Darcy, the Iron Man, Aragorn and Frodo, Travis McGee, Medea, Macbeth, and Nanny McPhee. 
    Five areas comprise this guidebook. 
    1.    Starting Points ~ templates and character interviews 
    2.    Classifications ~ common and uncommon ways to discover characters 
    3.    Relationships ~ couples, teams, allies, enemies, mentors, etc. 
    4.    Special Touches ~ progressions, transgressions, and transitions for character arcs 
    5.    Significant Lists ~ archetypal characters and much more 
    Discovering Characters, with 44,000-plus words, is the second book in the Discovering set, part of the Think like a Pro Writer series for writers new to the game as well as those wanting to up their game. 
    Writer M.A. Lee has been indie-publishing fiction and non-fiction since 2015. She has over 50 books published under her pseudonyms. Visit www.writersinkbooks.com to discover more information.

    Idi Amin Dada Oumee (c. 1925 – 16 August 2003) was an Ugandan military officer and politician who served as the third president of Uganda from 1971 to 1979. He ruled as a military dictator and is considered one of the most brutal despots in modern world history. Amin's rule was characterized by rampant human rights abuses, including political repression, ethnic persecution, extrajudicial killings, as well as nepotism, corruption, and gross economic mismanagement. International observers and human rights groups estimate that between 100,000 and 500,000 people were killed under his regime.

    Did you know that Brazil is the largest coffee producer in the world? Or that Brazil got its name from a tree? 
    Brazil has a rich and complicated history that few outside South America know about. It leads the world in some of the most profitable exports (gold, sugar, oil, and coffee,) yet Brazil has one of the largest wealth disparities in the world and is known for crime and poverty. It is also an ethnically diverse country with a rich, distinct nationality and culture, yet the Brazilians seem to be at odds with each other. Would you be surprised to learn that its history has something to do with that? 
    Brazil has fertile soil perfect for agriculture, as well as gold and other profitable resources, yet at the beginning of colonization, no European nation wanted to colonize it. We will explore Brazil’s prehistory and why the colonists were so hesitant to settle there. Once they did, though, Brazil’s history was forever changed. 
    While Brazil is one of the most recognized South American countries, its history is mostly unknown to the general public. This is partly because its landscape is incapable of preserving historical artifacts and partly because its history tends to be overshadowed by other countries in the Western Hemisphere. This audiobook will bring Brazil’s history alive, giving you insight into its rich past and a peek at what Brazil has been dealing with recently. 
    In this audiobook, you will learn about the following: The origins of Brazil’s first people The diets, lifestyles, and beliefs of Brazil’s native population The Europeans’ disinterest in Brazil Portugal’s convoluted colonization of Brazil Brazil’s sugar and coffee industries The church and its conversion of the native population

    The Yompers - With 45 Commando...

    Called to action on 2 April 1982, the men of 45 Commando Royal Marines assembled from around the world to sail 8,000 miles to recover the Falkland Islands from Argentine invasion. Lacking helicopters and short of food, they ‘yomped’ in appalling weather carrying overloaded rucksacks, across the roughest terrain. Yet for a month in mid-winter, they remained a cohesive fighting-fit body of men. They then fought and won the highly successful and fierce night battle for Two Sisters, a 1,000 foot high mountain which was the key to the defensive positions around Stanley.
     
    
     
    This is a first hand story of that epic feat, but it is much more than that. The first to be written by a company commander in the Falklands War, the book gives a compelling, vivid description of the ‘yomp’ and infantry fighting, and it also offers penetrating insights into the realities of war at higher levels. It is a unique combination of descriptive writing about frontline fighting and wider reflections on the Falklands War, and conflict in general.
     
    
     
    Gritty and moving; sophisticated, reflective and funny, this book offers an abundance of timeless truths about war.
     
    
     
    Postscript: ‘Yomping’ was the word used by the Commandos for carrying heavy loads on long marches. It caught the public’s imagination during this short but bitter campaign and epitomized the grim determination and professionalism of our troops.
