Creature Storms
Author: Ron Clinton Smith
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1469150336
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
A WW II and Korean War pilot and hero, a patriotic, middle American farmer who’d trusted his government with two sons in Vietnam, and been betrayed in that, after having his farm largely controlled by his government all his life, is in jeopardy of losing his homestead of 150 years. After his death, his sons scramble to hold onto the farm and make sense of all this and each other. A seed that Deke, the middle of three sons, and Barrett, his friend had brought back from Vietnam seventeen years earlier and kept pure, becomes a means of saving the farm, but in the process the hallucinogen from the seed begins to warn them of some imminent catastrophe through raining creatures and Barrett’s visions. The plant the government’s trying to suppress brings them signs and warnings about what their government’s doing, as Barrett begins seeing Vietnamese spirits or “visitors” in the woods and fields when he ingests the stuff. Creature Storms is a rawly told and original work, a grounded human story of three brothers and a blood brother, their love for and struggle with each other, their country, and the sacrifices they make to hold onto their land which they had already risked their lives in war to protect. Politically timely, Creature Storms unfolds on a number of dramatic levels that build into an apocalyptic ending.

Why Couples Fight
Author: Mira Kirshenbaum
Publisher: Citadel Press
ISBN: 0806540451
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
How do two well-meaning people who genuinely care about each other end up in a damaged, unsatisfying relationship? Every couple faces conflict. Most of the time, the root of the problem is that we’re not getting our needs met. And most of the time, we first try to remedy this with reasonable requests—or hints—and a kind tone. But when that fails, we feel disempowered, which leads to sighs, eye rolls, silences, subtle put-downs, insults, and even threats. These are power moves. And while we often use them without realizing it and without intention, the result is the same—our partner feels disempowered and will try to re-empower themselves. And so the endless, and endlessly destructive, dynamic takes hold. Relationship expert Mira Kirshenbaum, bestselling author of Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay, reveals a better way: a three-step method for conflict-free problem solving. By recognizing each partner’s power moves, we can instead find mutually satisfying ways to heal our hurts and meet each other’s needs. Non-judgmental, compassionate, and wise, this is an indispensable guide to help couples end the negative cycle and get back to the loving understanding that brought them together in the first place. “Mira Kirshenbaum’s words of wisdom are an inspiration to everyone who reads them.” —Deepak Chopra

The Legend of Mjornia
Author: Joshua Jackson

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
Our journey begins in a mystical realm called Mjornia. It lies in the darkest, farthest, most forgotten corner of existence just between the imagination and reality. Yet it violently flourishes with life. It is a plane of existence where thoughts, emotions, and even consciousness can affect the physical world and manifest around you whether you are aware of its presence or not. It is overflowing with magic, enchantment, and sheer fantasy around every turn and where, in some areas, nothing imaginable is impossible. While lush green forests and hills are the dominant nature for the most part, there are several places in Mjornia that are not so fortunateplaces that are beyond the reaches of what is considered safe and habitable lands like the swamps and marshes of Morvoria. Anyone that foolishly wandered in or around that place is neither seen nor heard from again. Then there is the far northeastern Kjolferdorn mountains. Beaten weekly with snowstorms, it is also home to some of the deepest ravines and crevices in all Mjornia. It has openings that stretched deep beneath the surface where numerous large caverns lie. Some stretched on for miles where none dare tread. Others led to ruined underground fortresses made entirely from clear quartz crystals along with other precious gems and minerals. Relics were formed by the most skilled enchanters and crafters in Mjornias ancient past. No matter where you find yourself in Mjornia, magic is inescapable, and the allure of such a place mesmerizes you with beauty and wonder. But for now, our story starts simple. It begins with the most innocent form in all Mjorniaa child. However, in this case, its actually several children who must discover their purpose and how it affects everything that exists in this realm, before all is lost.
