  'I needed to breathe. Not the short, shallow breaths that keep you alive … merely existing. I wanted that breath that starts deep down in your being and fills your lungs and limbs with life.'
  Claire Walsh spent her twenties living the life she thought she was supposed to live, all the while playing hide-and-seek with depression. In her thirties, finding herself single and living with her parents, she decided it was time to chart a different path.
  In Central America Claire discovered freediving, plunging up to 60 metres below the water's surface without the use of breathing apparatus. It taught her the power of breathwork, but more importantly it taught her how to find freedom in the present moment.
  Under Water is a candid and captivating story of what it's like to take part in one of the most dangerous sports in the world, and a reminder that sometimes all we need to do is take a deep breath.
  '20,000 leaues of sparkling adventure and tap-dancing prose.' Ruth Fitzmaurice, author of I Found My Tribe

  James Augustine Aloysius Joyce was born on the 2nd February 1882 in Dublin into a middle-class family, and the eldest of ten surviving siblings 
  Admired as a brilliant student he briefly attended the Christian Brothers-run O'Connell School before excelling at the Jesuit schools of Clongowes and Belvedere.  From there he went on to attend University College Dublin from 1898, studying English, French and Italian 
  In 1902, Joyce was now in his early twenties, and went to Paris to study Medicine but soon abandoned his teachings.  Back in Dublin to attend to his dying Mother he met Nora Barnacle. They bonded immediately into a life-long match. Together they decided to emigrate to Europe.  The couple lived in Trieste, Rome, Paris, and finally Zürich where Joyce pursued a variety of jobs and ventures to supplement his literary pursuits but none of these paid off.  
  After publishing a poetry volume, ‘Chamber Music’, in 1907, his short story collection ‘The Dubliners’, in 1914, helped establish his talent in the rapidly changing world.  
  Although far from home Joyce’s literary heart and works were set in his recollections of Dublin.  Characters are close resemblances of family and friends and indeed enemies.  His landmark work ‘Ulysses’, published in 1922, is set in the streets and alleyways of the city as it parallels Homer’s Odyssey in a variety of styles including its famed stream of consciousness. 
  His pen continued to produce classics of the order of ‘A Portrait of the Artist as A Young Man’ and ‘Finnegan’s Wake’ together with several volumes of poetry and a play ‘The Exiles, in 1918.   
  On the 11th January 1941, Joyce underwent surgery in Zürich for a perforated duodenal ulcer. The next day he fell into a coma. On the 13th after a brief period of lucidity in which he called for his wife and son he passed.  He was 58.

  Author Joni B. Cole worries that Vlad the Impaler may be a distant cousin. She feuds with a dead medium. She thinks (or overthinks) about insulting birthday cards, power trips, and the real reason writers hate Amazon. And she wishes, really wishes, all those well-meaning people would stop talking about Guatemala. At once irreverent and thought provoking, Cole's collection is a joy ride through eclectic essays that arrive smack on that sweet spot between soul searching and social commentary, between humor and heft.

  Morningstar—A Revelation is not a memoir, not self-help, not a manifesto. It’s a sacred transmission—an activation disguised as a book. A divine interruption. A radical transformation. A map out of religious trauma, repression, and powerlessness.It doesn’t aim to inspire. It’s meant to wake you up. 
  Inside, follow the true story of Yoshai’el Ben Adam—from childhood neglect and abandonment that spark spiritual visions to combat trauma that unlocks a soul’s full memory and forces him to choose between an easy life of delusion, or the fire of truth and revelation. It starts as war memoir, turns into a comeback story, and ends as a transmission from beyond time. 
  The Descent — Abuse, addiction, abandonment, and the soul-forging fire of darkness. 
  The Revelation — War tears the veil. Visions return. A woman appears. Portals open. His soul is named. 
  The Weight — Success collapses. Ego dies. Then come seven sacred thunderclaps—received, not written. 
  Each Resound dismantles a system of control and gives a key to liberation:Illusion of Authority — Religion, currency, identity were designed to bind you.The Four Horsemen — Conquest, war, famine, death wear suits: illusion, scarcity, fear.The Wall of Seven Denials — The sacred was shamed. Mary broke the wall. That’s why she was erased.The Lost Initiations of Jesus — Christ was trained. Human. Meant to be repeated.Energetic Architecture of Creation — Geometry, alchemy, frequency—miracles as mechanics.Restored Spiritual Technology — Sight, memory, embodiment—tools buried by dogma, now revived.Post-Collapse Blueprint — New Earth: conscious systems, tactical designs for what’s coming next. 
  What he remembers—you’ve suspected your whole life. 
  And you were right.
