    My Sort of Philosophy by Christian Santiago 
    What begins as a meditation on photography evolves into something much deeper—a journey through art, memory, and self-discovery. In My Sort of Philosophy, Christian Santiago invites listeners into his world of storytelling, where images, words, and life experiences blur into one evolving narrative. 
    This audiobook isn’t a traditional “how-to” or a step-by-step manual. Instead, it unfolds naturally—like a photograph developing in the darkroom—capturing the beauty of imperfection, the uncertainty of time, and the ways art shapes the way we see ourselves and the world around us. 
    Part memoir, part creative reflection, and part philosophy, Santiago explores what it means to create, to be inspired, and to keep moving forward when time itself feels scarce. Honest, personal, and unfiltered, this work is for anyone searching for meaning in their craft—or simply looking for a reminder that art, in all its forms, is a living thing. 
    Whether you’re an artist, a dreamer, or someone navigating your own creative path, My Sort of Philosophy offers perspective, inspiration, and the raw truth of an idea allowed to grow into something more.

    There is something about the number 3.    
     
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
     
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
     
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

    Sita Walker was raised by five strong matriarchs who taught her to believe in God and to Be Good. Her grandmother, mother and three aunts believed in unshakeable faith, in the power of prayer, in sacrifice, in magic, in the healing of turmeric and tea, and the wisdom of dreams. 
     
    But as hard as she tries to be good, Sita always suspects that deep down, she isn’t very good at all. 
     
    At 35, she hasn’t prayed in years, her dream of true love has died, and along with it, her faith – not that she’s telling her mother, or her aunts. Instead, she abandons religion in secret, ‘taking tiny pieces of God away, one by one, under cover of darkness.’ 
     
    Now, the only way she can fulfil her destiny is to seek out the wisdom of the ones who came before, and truly understand the women who raised her. But will they understand her? Either way, the matriarchy will never be the same again. 
     
    Traversing decades and continents – from Iran to India, Sri Lanka to the Czech Republic, Adelaide to the Torres Strait – The God of No Good is a beautifully lyrical and funny intergenerational memoir about six women and how their lives intertwine.

    "In the shadows of history's greatest conflicts, women have always been warriors—yet their stories remain untold. Women in War uncovers over twenty raw, true accounts of the fearless women who fought and served, from ancient battlefields to the jungles of Vietnam and the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan. 
    Step into their combat boots: nurses dodging gunfire, spies sabotaging enemies, soldiers enduring unimaginable loss. Facing sexism, trauma, and overwhelming odds, these heroines reveal that true valor beats in the heart, not just on the battlefield. 
    Brought to life through meticulous research and exclusive firsthand interviews by retired police officer and acclaimed author David Yuzuk, this intimate collection honors the unbreakable spirit of military women. Narrated by Julia Whelan, the voice behind the New York Times bestseller The Women by Kristin Hannah, it's a profound tribute to the unsung forces who shaped our world." 
    “Gripping stories of female heroism that will awe and inspire.” 
    —NY Times bestselling author Ralph Pezzullo 
    “I thought I was going to die that day! The Viet Cong launched a brutal attack, and the explosion hit like a freight train, its deafening roar slamming into my ears just seconds before the shockwave hurled us off our feet, Doors were ripped from their hinges, and windows were shattered into a thousand pieces. 
    “The pandemonium jolted me back to reality. I grabbed my flak jacket and sprinted to the Intensive Care Unit. Were the enemy already inside our perimeter, AK-47s in hand, bayonets fixed? It didn’t matter. My mission was clear — Protect the soldiers in my care. They came first, no matter what.” —67th Evac Nurse Ginny Dornheggen

    My name is Hazel Lamb…Lindsey, but my momma called me Fireball. I am 84 years old. I only got one year of schooling, but I am self-taught. I worked hard all my life. I plowed fields, cut timber, raised hogs, and managed several businesses. I got married 11 times. I buried two of my babies, but I brung up three children of my own and four step children. I met some of my husbands – and lots of boyfriends – while playing guitar, singing, and buck dancing at country jubilees. I survived cancer, and one of my husbands choked me to death, but my sweet momma brung me back to life. I shot one husband a little bit, and later, when he was dying of cancer, he was stole from the hospital, and, to this day, I don’t know where he is buried at. I like to tell people I am a movie star, cause I played the wife of a coal miner in the movie October Sky. My life started out hard with poverty and abuse, but all-in-all it’s been a pretty good life. This is my story, and I’d like for you to hear it and learn that no matter how bad things gets, you can overcome and be happy.
