As they face power cuts, food scarcity and blackmail, the camp inmates start to realise that people are mysteriously disappearing. A strange force has been unleashed and is set to destroy them. Can they stop it before it's too late?

During this time she regularly lectured on topics such as temperance and suffragism. She used the pseudonym Katherine Kent for some of her writing.After her death, fellow female journalist Bride Broder wrote in tribute:"There is a simplicity about Mrs. Blewett's prose and verse that has made a wide appeal, and her gay-hearted attitude to life, the humorous twists she gave to little things, made her very welcome as a speaker at women's gatherings. In all her writings she touched on the things that appeal to women everywhere and, in doing so, won the admiration of men readers also." (Wikipedia)

Yoga The Science Of Self...

Justin Wesenberg

Yoga is a poetry book about the different paths you can take to self realization and enlightenment. For those who are seeking the most aligned path to find their True Self.
This inspirational poetry book dives into the different yogic paths that lead to self realization and enlightenment.
Yoga The Science Of Self Realization is a poetry book about finding enlightenment through the practice of yoga. Yoga is the art and science of direct experience with the ONE that is infinite and eternal. By coming into union with the eternal source we learn to embody these qualities in our lives.
This book explores the three paths of yoga outlined in the Bhagavad Gita: jnana yoga, the yoga of knowledge, bhakti yoga, the yoga of love, and karma yoga, the yoga of action. Any of these paths can lead one towards enlightenment, and they can also be used cohesively for faster spiritual growth.
When we come to know our true selves as energetic beings of light we will no longer be bound to the wheel of karma and the vagaries of the material world, this is true freedom. The highest goal of human life is to feel free. Anyone can find freedom through yoga and it makes no distinctions on age, gender, or religion, it is universal in it’s application.
Yoga helps you reach your infinite potential by helping you see the light within us all…
