Two true tales of small-town murders Unfriendly: How a social media feud led to a double homicide When the bodies of Bill Payne and Billie-Jean Hayworth were discovered in their Mountain City, Tennessee home on January 30 2012, investigators initially assumed it was a drug deal gone awry. However, soon their attention was drawn to a vicious online feud that had been simmering in full view of the entire town of Mountain City for over a year. What followed was an unbelievable case involving a CIA agent, a secret relationship, and an impressionable local man who had never had a girlfriend. At ...

A TRUE STORY OF ESCAPE, BETRAYAL, AND JUSTICE AFTER THE FALL OF HITLER’S REICH When Nazi Germany collapsed in 1945, the world believed the nightmare was finally over. Hitler was dead. Berlin was in ruins. The Allies had won. The trials at Nuremberg would expose the machinery of evil, and justice, at last, would be done. But in the shadows of the broken Third Reich, another operation was already beginning. Across the shattered roads of Europe, thousands of Nazi fugitives vanished into the chaos of surrender. Doctors, torturers, SS officers, intelligence men, collaborators, and war ...

What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want is... you? Not the economy. Not your boss. Not your family. Not your schedule. Not your lack of motivation. You. A terrifying possibility. An empowering one. This is not a book about becoming perfect. Perfect people are exhausting. And mostly fictional. This is a book about becoming intentional. About reclaiming your attention. Protecting your time. Breaking excuses. Building momentum. Creating standards. And finally doing the things you've been telling yourself you'll do "someday." Inside these pages, you'll discover why:...

You don’t fail to change your life because you want the wrong things. You fail because reality does not respond to desire. It responds to identity. If you’ve spent years believing in manifestation, visualizing clearly, affirming consistently, and genuinely trying, yet still noticed the same outcomes repeating, this book was written for you. I believed deeply in manifestation. I followed the advice. I read the books. I applied the techniques. And when things didn’t change, I assumed the problem was me: not enough belief, not enough discipline, not enough alignment. But eventually, ...

This book explores the profound intersection between Seth's teachings and groundbreaking accounts of telepathy among non-speaking autistic individuals. Drawing on the “Telepathy Tapes” project and informed by decades of research into Seth’s philosophy, it reveals how shared consciousness, dream communication, and psi abilities point toward a collective evolution in human identity. As a continuation of Nursery of the Gods and Wonderworks, this volume expands the consciousness-based paradigm by demonstrating that reality is not limited to isolated egos or sensory input. Instead, it ...

Shatter the Myths of Valhalla and Discover the Blood-Soaked Reality of Viking Medicine For centuries, the history of Norse healers has been sanitized, replacing the grim reality of battlefield triage with romantic tales of ethereal maidens and mystical forest herbs. In The Butcher's Apothecary: Blood, Fat, and the Brutal Reality of Viking Medicine, Tomas Somerled expertly dismantles this historical propaganda to reveal the horrific, unsterilized mechanics of ancient survival. This immersive and deeply visceral exploration of medieval combat medicine leaves the polite academic distance ...

Hurricane Katrina. 2005. Everybody saw the people stranded on the rooftops. Nobody came looking for the ones who stayed on purpose. They could've gotten rescued. They passed. It sounds insane now. It felt reasonable at the time. Six friends rode out Katrina in a house in New Orleans — a tight-knit bunch of servers and bartenders, plus two very patient dogs. They stocked up on beer, threw a hurricane party, and toasted the storm coming in. When the levees failed and the water came up, they watched the helicopters circle from the roof and figured somebody out there needed them more. They ...

You are not entering a book about dreams. You are entering a book that behaves like one. The Dream That Dreamed the Dreamer is not concerned with waking you up from reality. It invites something more unsettling and more intimate: waking up within it. This is a book about consciousness not as an observer of the world, but as the generative field from which the world continuously emerges. Rather than asking who you are, this book asks a different question. What is dreaming you into being? Through a recursive, poetic, and carefully structured journey, the book explores reality as an unfolding ...
