This free short story prequel by bestselling author Mary Ellis provides an early glimpse into the life of Quaker Emily Harrison. Laced with humor and a sweet love story, this bonus material also contains the first chapter of Emily’s continuing journey in The Quaker and the Rebel, Book 1 of the Civil War Heroines series.

Summer 1861—Emily Harrison is finding life a bit overwhelming. Alone on her family’s farm, she must take on the roles of both housekeeper and farmer. She cares for the garden, makes plans for planting the fields, and milks the cows, all the while creating havoc in the home her mother used to keep immaculate. That is in addition to providing a safe house as part of the Underground Railroad. In the midst of this whirlpool of swirling tasks, she is getting ready to greet very important dinner guests—the love of her life and her pastor and his wife. Will Matthew finally propose? What news does Reverend Ames bring that turns Emily’s world upside down? How does the new war between the North and South impact her life? And…will the goose be cooked in time?

On a distant, unknown world, a young man awakens, in a body that is not his own. He has lost his identity, his memory, and his home.

But where most would be horrified in his circumstances, he finds himself relieved and full of joy. An enigmatic traveler happens across him in the road and gives him a new name – Abraham.

He is taken from the world on which he found himself and brought along on a grand adventure, where he is suspected of theft, sabotage, and murder. He must ultimately aid his captors in fighting an indefatigable evil, and discover who he was – despite his wish to remain anonymous and leave his past forgotten.

70-something Oreny “Big” Johnson has a problem. Actually, he has two. Or maybe three. The first is that he’ll be dead from cancer, less than a year, which doesn’t particularly concern him: “Things I’ve been through, dying is just one more page in a long bad book.” But spending his last living days, taking his last living breath, behind steel bars does. That’s the second problem: Inmate #78903 in the notorious level-four Washington State prison known as Horseneck Bay.

Then there’s the money. Two million dollars of stolen military payroll, supposedly buried in some remote and mysterious South-Texas mountain range called Los Despoblados, or The Uninhabited, which sounds to Oreny like one of those places his Mama Maybell always told him to avoid. But he’ll worry about that later. He has to get there first. Problem number three.

That’s when he brings those two smoldering dynamite sticks he’s attached himself to–his Luke-boy and Jaime–on board to help his tired old body break out of Horseneck and go dig up that money and then hightail it across the border into Mexico. And when they do break out, and Luke decides to bring his girlfriend Lauren along, and her enraged ex comes after them, and then the manhunt starts multiplying faster around them than those cancer cells inside him, Oreny still thinks he can control them. The problems, that is. At least, until Cade arrives.

Cade, the prison investigator Oreny knows is dangerous and unpredictable as a six-foot-two wolverine on eight gallons of adrenalin gone bad. And who won’t stop until he catches them and does to them what Cade does best.

Cade, Oreny knows better than anything else, is their biggest problem of all.

The unique character of Zen Buddhism and our search for absolute truth.

What it is that makes Zen Buddhism unique? How does it differ from other religions or faiths? How does it differ from other schools of Buddhism? How does Zen Buddhism approach truth and reality?

There are few religions that are as full of mystery and misconceptions in the West as Zen Buddhism. Zen has a quality of calmness, serenity and peace associated with it. At the same time Zen is seen as a demanding discipline that only but a few have the stamina for. Zen Masters exemplify enlightenment and Zen monks dedication to compare with any other religion. Decades after Zen Buddhism was introduced to the West it still remains poorly understood in the West even by those who practice Buddhism.

If you ever wondered what Zen Buddhism is really about, or what people who practice Zen really think, this book is for you.

This is not a history lesson on Buddhism, instruction on meditation, or sermons on Buddhist teachings. This book is about Zen and what makes Zen unique.

The fundamentals of Confidence

Life is tough, harsh and unfair sometimes. It’s waiting for you to get back on your feet so it can knock you right back down again.

Most people give up, blame the world for their crappy life or have excuses for everything. People usually don’t go deep enough to try to figure out why such things happened or why their life sucks.They are simply too lazy or scared to get out of their comfort zone to fully eliminate their problems.

This book will take you to the basics of confidence: where it come from and how to manage it. It wouldn’t lead you to an easy/comfortable direction but it will pave the way towards certainty.

Confidence = ‘the state of certainty’.

Ben was perfect.
His girlfriend Rachel was perfect.
His apartment was perfect.
In fact, everything in the world around him was perfect – thanks to the omnipresence of the beneficent Guardians.

I’m Not Giving You My Money!

This book was inspired by the stories of many women who I have met over the years. It is about their challenges, failures, and successes. Their moving stories motivated me to write this book to help other women understand how every choice they make can either help or destroy their retirement. Learn from their inspiring and heartbreaking stories. I know they will want any woman who reads this book to be aware of the “wolves” that can, in the blink of an eye, wipe away hopes and dreams of her retirement. Discover the secrets to personal empowerment and what you need to know to find your own yellow brick road to financial inner peace.

This book will help you understand the complicated relationship between you as a woman, your money, and your financial professional. Many women go through life with the illusion that their future is secure just because they set aside money for retirement and have a financial advisor who they believe has their best interest in mind. Many women don’t ask the right questions, don’t demand the right answers, and are routinely pushed away from being involved in the most important dream of their life… their own happily-ever-after.
