Book Description
I don't know when you all are going to read this or maybe you are or not. Why I said this you'll understand through the pages. Motive to write these 30 letters to my readers and future me is just that I want to show my future self after going through what all I have been where I am so that in future I don't take any step that is not good for me. And the second motive is, I know there are people like me what I was in the past. I just want to help them in any way I can may be they get motivated and know how to deal with situations. I think this book should be read by all introverts or the people who are not able to open up because this is how I got the idea to form these letters and that's how I changed myself into someone I always wanted. Being reserved sometimes grows your problems and stress. You need to be outspoken even if you want to work in an MNC. Some letters in it would explain this in better way. “You don't need to handle all the world's problems all by yourself". That's how I decided to write this book. I hope my journey from an extreme introvert to an outspoken can help my readers in any way.

Book Description
Thomas Cobb introduces the day when the Power brothers engaged the Graham County Sheriff's Department in the bloodiest shootout in Arizona history. Cobb cunningly weaves the story of the Power brothers' escape with flashbacks of the boys' father's life and his struggle to make a living ranching, logging, and mining in the West around the turn of the century.

Life aboard the luxury ship is grand—nine-course meals, new friends, and a life far from the bombs, rations, and his stepmum’s glare. And after five days at sea, the ship’s officers announce that they’re out of danger. They’re wrong. Late that night, an explosion hurls Ken from his bunk. They’ve been hit. Torpedoed! The Benares is sinking fast. Terrified, Ken scrambles aboard Lifeboat 12 with five other boys. Will they get away? Will they survive?

Based on true events and real people, Lifeboat 12 is about believing in one another, knowing that only by banding together will we have any chance to survive.
