  Aftershock - How Past Events...

  Geri-Lynn Utter

  You may be at a point in your life where you realize that you have been edgy, a bit depressed, feeling unsettled. Yet everything in your life seems to be okay. You look for a cause, but you just can't put your finger on it. Perhaps you should examine your recent past—six months ago, a year ago—and ask yourself, "What did I go through that was stressful at the time, yet I was able to deal with by suppressing my stress until that situation was over?" 
   
   
   
  "Aftershock" is a term coined by clinical psychologist Dr. Geri-Lynn Utter, who came to recognize this largely ignored scenario in many of her patients. As a subclinical level of the more familiar post-traumatic stress disorder, "aftershock" may underlie your present emotional stress, a delayed emotional response that affects many of us after common, yet big deal, life events such as miscarriage, moving to a new city, divorce, or, for some people, the Covid-19 pandemic that has rocked much of the world. 
   
   
   
  The most urgent raison d'etre of Aftershock is to enlighten listeners to the very presence of this psychological trauma—what it is and what causes it, how to recognize the symptoms, and how to heal when life's stressors keep you in the center of the aftershock of a storm.

  Beneath the Surface of Things -...

  Wade Davis

  A timely and eclectic collection from one of the foremost thinkers of our time, "a powerful, penetrating and immensely knowledgeable writer" (The Guardian). 
   
   
   
  The essays in this collection came about during the unhurried months when one who had traveled incessantly was obliged to stay still, even as events flared on all sides in a world that never stops moving. Wade Davis brings his unique cultural perspective to such varied topics as the demonization of coca, the sacred plant of the Inca; the Great War and the birth of modernity; the British conquest of Everest; the endless conflict in the Middle East; reaching beyond climate fear and trepidation; on the meaning of the sacred. His essay, "The Unraveling of America," first published in Rolling Stone, attracted five million readers and generated 362 million social media impressions. Media interest in the story was sustained over many weeks, with interview requests coming in from twenty-three countries. 
   
   
   
  The anthropological lens, as Davis demonstrates, reveals what lies beneath the surface of things, allowing us to see, and to seek, the wisdom of the middle way, a perspective of promise and hope that all of the essays in this collection aspire to convey.

  The Shocking Truth about...

  Zoey Fraisers

  Economic inequality is one of the most pressing issues of our time. While some individuals amass enormous wealth, millions struggle to afford basic necessities. The gap between the rich and the poor has widened significantly over the past few decades, raising concerns about fairness, economic stability, and the future of society. This growing divide affects nearly every aspect of life, from access to education and healthcare to political representation and social mobility. Understanding the causes and consequences of economic inequality is essential to addressing the challenges it presents.  
    
  Historically, economic disparities have existed in every civilization, but modern inequality has taken on new dimensions. The rise of globalization, rapid technological advancements, and financial deregulation have contributed to an economic system that disproportionately benefits the wealthy. While free markets have driven innovation and lifted millions out of poverty, they have also concentrated wealth and power in the hands of a few. In many countries, the middle class—once the backbone of economic stability—has eroded, leaving a stark contrast between the privileged elite and those struggling to keep up.  
  Government policies play a crucial role in shaping economic inequality. Tax structures, labor laws, and social welfare programs determine how wealth is distributed within a society. In some cases, policies favor large corporations and high-income individuals, exacerbating disparities. Meanwhile, stagnant wages, the decline of labor unions, and rising costs of living make it increasingly difficult for working-class families to get ahead. The debate over economic inequality is not just about wealth but about opportunity. When financial barriers prevent people from accessing quality education, healthcare, and stable employment, economic mobility declines, reinforcing cycles of poverty.

  Adam is caught fooling around with his girlfriend's best friend and has to make a choice. His girlfriend is willing to forgive him if he follows her every order and command. He agrees willingly but is in for a ride he would never ever have imagined. 
    
  Adam is transformed into Abby with the aid of hormone injections, laser treatments, and a rigorous regimen of lust and humiliation. Shrinkage is an obvious side effect of his feminization, and becoming an attractive woman is a slippery slope filled with punishment, degradation, and new partners who expects you to perform like any woman would. 
    
  How will Adam fare as Abby? Will he lose his last shred of masculinity, or will he lose the love of his life? 
    
  PSA: This story contains a desperate man who feels forced into an undesireable situation. He’ll be dominated and humiliated by men and women alike, and gall darned if he doesn’t get off on... things... he never thought possible.

  Being a novelist is a pretty sweet deal. You daydream, you type, and people pay you! There are possibly a few additional steps, but that’s why you need this book. It will walk you through the process of turning your imagination into polished, professional stories that people will pay to read. Make money doing what you really want to do: WRITE! James Maxey has more than twenty years of experience publishing novels through mainstream publishers and the indy press. He's taught numerous workshops, been a guest speaker at libraries and museums, and been honored as a Piedmont Laureate. He writes stuff and gets paid. You can too! 
  Samples: 
  "Little by little the writing gets done. A book emerges from the ether, to join its brethren in the great library of mankind. I am the author. Of all possible lives I might have chosen, this one feels right." 
  -- 
  "When I was working on my first novel, then my second, then my third, I kept thinking there would come a day when, finally, I’d have it all figured out. There’d be some novel writing process I could follow again and again that would allow me to write books with far less hassle and strain. Eventually I realized that hassle and strain are the process." 
  -- 
  "I almost hate to tell you about the false solution. Once you’re aware of it, you’ll never be able to read books or watch movies without this narrative slight-of-hand being obvious. From this point on, you’re a magician who knows how the woman gets sawed in half." 
  What critics are saying: 
  "Positive, solid advice offered in a breezy, useful way. It's going on my small shelf of writing books." — Gary Cohn 
  "A must read no matter where you are on the journey!" — Airian Eastman
