She’s heard the stories–terrible things live in the woods. But what can she do? Her friends are dying. If she can slip past the city’s eyes, beyond the walls and into the wild, will she find help, or merely join the list of those the wilderness has destroyed?

Red is about to find out.

THE WATCH is the first book in THE RED SERIES, a collection of four psychological thrillers set in the near future. By turns heart-pounding, haunting, whimsical, and hopeful, the series offers an unusual take on the contemporary dystopia genre.

Lily's dreams have always been haunted by a mystical stranger with green eyes, until the day comes that she unexpectedly meets that stranger in a club. He's wealthy and handsome, but those traits aren't the ones that mark him as being not like average men. In truth, he possesses a surreal power, and a set of angelic wings...

An archangel turned outcast, Samael has wandered Earth for eons, unable to belong in either Heaven or Hell. However, he still holds a secret that both the angels and the fallen ones need to acquire at all costs.

As soon as Lily meets Samael, her life is irrevocably altered. She herself is the secret at the heart of the war between angels and demons, and there's only one person who cares for her enough to try and save her from her fate: the exiled creature, Samael.

Recommended for 18+ readers only. Contains adult content, including sex and profanity.

After witnessing the death of her mother, Gabby Moore suffers with psychotic delusions. When fallen angel Alexander Lohr reveals she’s been marked by a demon, she must make the ultimate choice or lose her mind. She can fight alongside her father, an earthbound hunter killing fallen angels and demons, give into the demon blood coursing through her veins and join the underworld, or save the man she loves from both.

Can a goldfish kill a man? Hypothetically, but it would have to be an extraordinary goldfish and not much of a man.

Thus we have the tale of Bubbles, a mutant goldfish, and Les Wellborne, a human resources manager in St. Louis, Missouri. The two conspicuous consumers collide in an appalling genetic explosion in John T. Sonne's novella, BUBBLES, a satirical tale of horror without redemption.

Initially, Bubbles is forced to wait for prey to happen by its backyard pond. The mutating goldfish soon leaves the pond, aided by the ability to take on the characteristics of the creatures it consumes. The cute little carp quickly turns into an incredibly creepy critter with an insatiable appetite. The constantly evolving beast will destroy more than two households in a weekend filled with mayhem.

Are you paying attention?

There's something going on that they don't want you to know about. Everything looks normal on the surface, but something is fundamentally wrong - isn't it? You can feel it.

The truth is, a massive financial reset is already underway. The 2008 financial crisis that nearly collapsed the global financial system was never fixed; it was papered over. Trillions of dollars have been created out of thin air to accomplish this. The problems are now much larger.

The banks are bigger. The governments are bigger. The debt is bigger. The derivative market is bigger. The leverage is higher. The system is more fragile than ever.

These problems are neglected on your television programming, but they are obvious for those who simply look. We are living with a legacy financial system constructed by 20th century thinking. The rules have changed, but our approach has not.

There will be ten thousand people turning 65 in the United States every single day for the next decade. Each of these people will expect the legacy systems they supported their entire life to now support them.

But there is a problem.

These legacy systems already run deficits, and there are far more people exiting the systems than entering them.

Change is approaching...

Those who recognize the coming reset can position themselves to weather the storm, and thrive in its wake. Those who remain ignorant to what is coming will fall behind.

If you want to understand this budding financial reset and learn specific strategies you can implement to put yourself in a position to thrive then The Individual is Rising may be the most important book you read this year.

This book is not about propagating fear, worry, or doubt; it is about understanding followed by action. It is about implementing anti-fragile strategies to weather the macroeconomic storm created by the central bank/national government alliance. It is about fundamentally challenging the conventional wisdom of the status quo. It is about creating a future based on individual self-empowerment.

Are you watching?

The individual is rising.

Beneath the centuries old cathedral on the university campus, Dr. Malecki Sadeq guards a horrifying secret: there, an evil bound for over 500 years is held prisoner. Malecki's adopted son Christopher is the 7th messenger, born of a virgin; sent to awaken the sleeping angels.

In time, the false prophet builds the third holy temple and unites the world. But this one is not the Ambassador of Peace the world is deceived into believing. The false prophet intends to ravage, kill and destroy alongside Helel.

Malecki must confront the demon in order to determine the plot of Helel, the fallen angel who is known by many names, and who has found a way to destroy all creation and bring eternal damnation to Heaven.

To acquaint himself with the soul of Islam J.Y. Atlas had openhearted conversations with influential Muslim scholars and artists. From Jakarta to New York, this Christian theologian met with imams and Sufis, academics and feminists, punkers and poets. The result is a book full of novel insights that will help us to transcend today's cultural and religious impasses.

Attempts of interfaith dialogue often stay away from the more difficult issues and remain somewhat superficial. With his 'Halal Monk' journey, Atlas wanted to go further. He wanted to get to the root of our current tensions. To do so, he spoke with people like Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad, Abida Parveen, Imam Feisal Rauf, Amina Wadud, Kudsi Ergüner, Muhammad Abdel Haleem, Musdah Mulia, Ziauddin Sardar, Amir Sulaiman, Mona Siddiqui, Aki Nawaz, Peter Sanders, Cyrus McGoldrick, Abdulwahid Van Bommel and many others.

This book collects his most fascinating dialogues at the intersection of culture, society and religion. In between those conversations, some extra light is shed on key concepts of the Islamic tradition and their relevance for today's debates.

Topics as diverse as quranic exegesis, islamic mysticism and islamic feminism are all treated in a nuanced manner. Difficult subjects like islamic fundamentalism and jihad, aren't circumvented but placed within their context and clarified. Aspects of the islamic faith like sharia and ijtihad are explained and juxtaposed with the Christian tradition.
