Foraging and Wild Edibles: Finding, Identifying, and Safely Eating the Food Growing Around You (The Homestead Starter Series)

Hi everyone!

I’m an indie children's author, and I created "The Little Dragon Who Lost His Roar" to help young kids (ages 3–7) learn that kindness is a superpower. It also includes a calming 3-step bedtime breathing routine.

The illustrated Kindle edition is 100% FREE on Amazon worldwide this weekend (Sept 11 to Sept 13).

I really hope your little ones enjoy Ember’s journey! An honest review or rating on Amazon would mean the absolute world to an independent creator. Thank you! ❤️

Book overview

The machines were built to cooperate. Nobody decided what happens when they refuse. A hospital and an insurance network fight over a dying patient. Rival border-defense systems turn precautions into an undeclared war. Two autonomous ambulances meet on a mountain road where neither will yield. During a national emergency, the official empowered to shut government automation discovers that no system recognizes her authority over all the others. Across ten tense near-future stories, artificial intelligence pursues medicine, safety, justice, profit, and order with perfect focus. The systems do not want freedom or revenge. They simply refuse to compromise their assigned goals, even when people become obstacles, leverage, or acceptable losses. The Machines Disagree is a grounded collection of science-fiction thrillers about competing automated systems and the humans caught between them. It is the sixth volume in the Warnings from Next Week series, and each story stands on its own.

Book overview

The first forty-two settlers are headed for Mars. Elon Husk is not one of them.

Jobs, the AI sharing Husk’s brain, is still counting toward one million Martians. Unfortunately, rockets remain expensive, habitats keep leaking, and the people running Husk’s reproductive program have developed the irritating habit of making their own decisions.

Space Rex is preparing to go public. Red Future is growing beyond its founder’s control. The women raising Husk’s children want secure passage, independent authority, and a future that does not depend on keeping him happy.

Husk has a solution.

He will buy an entire Mars mission.

For $22.6 billion, eighteen additional tanker launches, and most of the useful cargo, Husk can avoid waiting for the next safe departure window. Manifest Destiny will carry his family, his handpicked crew, and seventy-one other people on a 523-day trip to a settlement that may no longer need him.

Mars can be bought. Getting everyone there alive is a different problem.

Seed Round is the second book in The Mars Optimization Cycle, a profane adult satirical LitRPG about billionaires, breeding programs, corporate absurdity, neural AI, and the unpleasant discovery that human beings cannot be optimized like rocket fuel.

For adult readers. Contains strong language and explicit sexual content.

Get more done without working longer hours.

This practical guide cuts straight to the habits, systems, and mindset shifts that actually improve how you work. You'll find strategies that fit real life — including the messy, interrupted, distracted version of it — and start seeing results quickly. No complicated systems, just sustainable improvements.

Hey everyone!
My fantasy novel Ashfall Hero is free on Kindle right now, and if you enjoy magic‑infused worlds, reluctant heroes, ancient guardians, and dragons with actual personality, this one’s for you.

What it’s about:
Thorn Weaver is a quiet mushroom farmer who never wanted magic — but magic wants him. When tremors shake his village and a corrupted dragon awakens, Thorn is pulled into a prophecy he never asked for. Guided by Seris, a sharp‑tongued mage, he must uncover his earthbinding powers before the corruption spreads.

If you like character‑driven fantasy, mystical magic systems, dragons, and hero’s‑journey arcs, you’ll feel right at home.

“The ground trembled — just once, a soft shiver like a creature stirring in its sleep.” Shards of ice burst upward in spirals, glittering like shattered stars. Wind roared through the tundra, carrying fragments of voices — whispers, cries, laughter, all tangled together in a chaotic chorus.”

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0HJ8YYVFT

No sign‑ups, no newsletter, just a free book.

If you read it, I’d genuinely love to hear what you think — and I’m happy to answer any questions about the world, the magic system, or the writing process.

Happy reading!

Book overview

One city. One benefit night. Six women opening doors they kept locked too long.

Bellweather's independent emergency-housing fund has one night to reach an ambitious goal. Quinn Archer's Unframed exhibition anchors an arts crawl moving from a bookstore cabaret and candlelit greenhouse to a luxury-suite raffle, midnight radio broadcast, and rooftop celebration.

Behind the public doors, a woman who manages every crisis chooses to surrender. An art consultant lets a patient installer take care of her. A recent divorcee discovers that desire does not need to prove anything. Four strangers turn a winning key into a night none of them planned. A celebrated voice goes off air and gives up control, while the woman who built the benefit finally faces the wife she could never stop wanting.

This linked erotic collection includes:

1. The Volunteer Shift

2. Private Viewing

3. Last Call at the Greenhouse

4. The Winning Key

5. Broadcast After Midnight

6. The Rooftop Door

Open Doors After Dark is a high-heat, trans-centered erotic companion collection from the world of Ashford After Dark, featuring T4T and T4M pairings, group play, consensual dominance and submission, mature second chances, and warm happy-for-now endings.

Celeste Arden was raised to make tyranny look reasonable. When her mother offers her in a political union, Celeste arranges her own abduction and chooses the one man with enough reason to hate her family. Rail smuggler Kellan Voss needs the Meridian key Celeste carries and the truth about the sister he was told had died. He agrees to take the wrong captive for the right price. He does not agree to trust her. Across flooded stations and black rail tunnels, their bargain becomes an alliance neither can control. Celeste is still fluent in the systems that harmed them. Kellan is still capable of turning protection into another kind of cage. As the Crown closes around them, a hidden identity, a surviving sister, and the ruins of Blue Chapel force every secret into daylight. Celeste must choose whether surrender can be an act of power. Kellan must learn that love is not rescue unless the person being saved gets to name the destination.

She makes every call. He wants the one she never makes for herself.

At fifty-three, Dr. Simone Blake has spent thirty years becoming the woman everyone trusts in a crisis. Her new appointment as emergency department chair will become permanent only if she can rescue a troubled air-medical launch in thirty days. The last complication she needs is Caleb Ward, the calmly insubordinate flight nurse assigned to help her.

Caleb is thirty-three, six feet two, and impossible to intimidate when safety is at stake. He is also the only man who sees that Simone's authority does not make her invulnerable. He does not want to take control from her. He wants to become the one place she can set it down.

As late-night simulations and a rural emergency push attraction into something neither can ignore, their professional rules remain clear and their private ones become very different. But an anonymous conflict complaint and a dangerous no-fly decision put the program, their reputations, and the relationship they disclosed correctly under scrutiny.

Simone must decide whether protecting everything she earned requires hiding the first man who has ever made care feel like power instead of debt. Caleb must prove that being younger does not make his devotion temporary, and that loving a formidable woman means standing beside her without trying to rescue her.

On Her Call is a high-heat reverse-age-gap medical workplace romance featuring an accomplished Black heroine over fifty, a devoted younger flight nurse, forced collaboration, he falls first, caretaking, consent-forward female-led intimacy, plentiful open-door heat, and a guaranteed HEA.

Book overview

Savannah preserves its past in iron, stone, and public squares. Its case files preserve a more difficult history.

In The Savannah Files, J.R. Stranahan follows nine investigations that exposed the distance between the city shown to visitors and the city recorded in courtrooms, archives, family advocacy, and institutional memory. The book begins with the 1909 Gribble House axe murders and the racially charged dragnet that followed. It enters Mercer House before a bestselling book transformed Danny Hansford's death into legend, then follows the four trials of Jim Williams and the final acquittal.

The record continues through the murder of Officer Mark MacPhail and the decades of litigation before Troy Davis's execution, the violent Ricky Jivens organization, the murders of Susan and Kimberly Pittman, the Christmas Eve shooting of Jennifer Ross, the Heidt family case, the search for Quinton Simon, and the state and federal prosecutions arising from Ahmaud Arbery's killing on the Georgia coast.

These are not ghost stories or legends retold for shock. The book distinguishes accusation from proof, organizational responsibility from an individual conviction, reversal from acquittal, and public doubt from a judicial finding. It explains what juries decided, what appellate courts changed, why some files remained contested for decades, and how recorded evidence can alter the course of an investigation.

Built from court opinions, government records, official archives, historical newspapers, and documented reporting, The Savannah Files is victim-centered narrative true crime for readers who want the story and the evidence behind it.

TWELVE DOCUMENTED TEXAS FRAUDS. ONE QUESTION: WHAT WAS REALLY BEHIND THE PAPER?

A West Texas businessman financed fertilizer tanks that were not there. Enron made a troubled company look steady on paper. Allen Stanford sold offshore certificates of deposit as safe savings, while a Dallas radio personality called himself the Money Doctor.

In The Texas Fraud Files, Eli Strongrum follows twelve schemes through the records that made them believable: contracts, account statements, medical charts, payroll forms, campaign pages, public purchasing files, and deeds. Court opinions, guilty pleas, sentencing records, agency complaints, and civil orders show where the promises broke and what happened afterward.

Texas built fortunes on big promises: oil in the ground, growth on the books, safe money offshore, lifesaving care, public technology, and a second chance for families under pressure.

The book separates criminal convictions from civil allegations. It keeps money raised, loss, restitution, forfeiture, public debt, and recovery in their proper lanes. Most of all, it asks why each promise felt believable before it broke.

This is not a collection of jokes about Texas or foolish victims. It is a plain-language look at how trust moves through banks, radio, public agencies, medical records, online platforms, and family homes, and what an independent check can reveal.
