    This is a 4-book combination. You will find the following themes here: 
    Theme 1: Socializing can be a real challenge. You may not think of it as such, but if you take into account all the subtle body language, what different meanings the words imply, and tone of voice, it can be tricky for those who get nervous or don’t possess the skills to see all those references. 
      
    Theme 2: Many people have become masters at reading people’s thoughts. They use techniques they have learned from others to their advantage. It’s not impossible. It’s definitely a skill that can be acquired and improved. In this book, we’ll touch on several aspects related to this principle, such as: 
    Millennial personality types and how to analyze them. 
    How to communicate to people with various personality types. 
    Mind reading techniques from the pros. 
    A fascinating discussion about the reality and the myths concerning intuition and instinct. 
    Simple methods to become better at reading people’s hidden messages. 
    Theme 3: What is the psychology behind body language? 
      
    What can we learn from what people aren’t saying? 
      
    These are common questions. But although they are often asked, they aren’t always clearly answered. Today, this book can change all that. It can give you precise guidelines on how to read people’s signs and nonverbal cues. 
      
    Theme 4: Today, you can learn more about what kinds of techniques NLP uses. We will talk about how to amplify good feelings, liquify bad memories, change perceptions, cure phobias, and become more positive in a general sense.

    A little concerned that he seemed to have skipped the Norn's notice when it came to getting a mate, Norse God Loki decided to embark on a path of discovery. He believed that the Norns hadn't put a mate in his path, yet, because he didn't know much about living as a mortal. So, in the interests of learning all he could about the human experience, and following a path many mortals did, Loki employed the services of a therapist. And, sure enough, after following her directions, Loki found himself standing in front of his mate.  
    Let the loving and fun times begin...  
    Except, Anubis, Egyptian God of Mummification, Death, and Lost Souls, was having a few issues of his own. He wasn't about to reject Loki, he hadn't heard of him before, but he was too wound up in his own human experiences. They included a blond twink named Cooper, a nightclub with staff who didn't know their place, and concerns about what he'd learned regarding Osiris during his father's altercation with Seth.  
    Nobody had ever worked out if fated gods could live without each other, but with everything going on around them, Anubis and Loki might have to see if it was possible. Loki would only take a certain amount of being ignored before he did what he did best - Being Loki.  
    Being Loki is an MM paranormal romance story where Loki is described at one point as being something akin to an adorable puppy. I wouldn't write about him unless I could give him an HEA, but he and Anubis do have some fun working things out. This book is intended for adults only - please store your content responsibly. 
    Can be read as standalone, but reading Odin's story (Special Enough) and Seth's Story (Reconciliation) will give you more depth about the backstories.

    A Gathering of Soldiers relates the story of Daniel Ryan, an Irish immigrant who has begun a new life in Georgia just as the events leading up to the momentous civil war in America have begun to unfold. The book describes his experiences upon enlisting with a group of his peers, in a north Georgia militia company, following Abraham Lincoln's first summons for troops to invade the southern states.  
    The novel follows the progress of Ryan, and his volunteer comrades as they evolve into soldiers, from their first posting on garrison duty on the Savannah River estuary, before journeying to Virginia to take part in the manoeuvring and the bloody engagements of the peninsular campaign in the summer of 1862, all of which changes the lives and outlooks of the surviving boys forever.
