about the book

 

In Doford Peaks, a small mountain town, 19-year-old Ethan lives with his grandma. His life is quite normal, at least as normal as it can be for someone with asthma. A winter morning walk turns dramatic when he and his grandma discover an 18-year-old girl, Mia, who is unconscious and injured. As Mia recovers, bits of her past emerge, attracting agents Gibson and Cooper of the Bureau of Supernatural Investigation (BSI). A complex web of secrets associated with the Defense Forces of Genesis (DFOG) intertwines their fates. As the truth emerges, Ethan and Mia must face the horrifying reality of The Wolf Experiment. 

 

what readers can expect

 

Based on the description, the story centers on uncovering hidden truths tied to supernatural investigations and classified programs. The plot appears to focus on how personal lives are affected when larger forces become involved.

The presence of investigative agencies suggests a narrative driven by discovery and gradual revelation.

Self-Help Book Blitz: Who Do You Think You Are? by China Watson

Some books open with a question that lingers. Who Do You Think You Are? by China Watson leans into that kind of curiosity, asking readers to slow down and consider the beliefs they carry (often without realizing it). Let’s take a look at what this book is about and see where it might fit on your to-be-read pile.

 Who Do You Think You Are? by China Watson (book cover)

You Are Who You Think You Are

Nonfiction / Self Help / Personal Development

about the book


What if the biggest thing holding you back isn’t your circumstances
—but what you believe about yourself?

In Who Do You Think You Are?, author and mindset coach China Watson delivers an uplifting, empowering self-help book that challenges readers to rethink their inner dialogue and redefine what success truly means. Through relatable stories, affirmations, and reflective exercises, this book shows how mindset shapes identity—and how changing your thoughts can change your life.

Each chapter introduces a mini-story inspired by real-life experiences, featuring characters from different backgrounds who face doubt, fear, health challenges, career setbacks, and personal crossroads. From Horace, a devoted father struggling with self-belief, to August, a resilient teenage mother rising above adversity, these stories highlight the power of resilience, positive thinking, and community support.

Designed as a quick, engaging read, every chapter begins and ends with a thought-provoking quote, includes practical lessons, affirmations to rewire limiting beliefs, and reflection spaces that invite readers to pause, journal, and apply what they’ve learned in real time.

More than motivation, this book offers a mindset reset—reminding readers that success is not only measured by money or status, but by peace, confidence, health, happiness, and meaningful relationships.
 

In this book, you’ll discover how to:

● Break free from self-doubt and limiting beliefs
● Build confidence through intentional mindset shifts
● Use affirmations to reframe negative thinking
● Turn challenges into opportunities for growth
● Define success on your own terms
● Cultivate resilience, self-worth, and inner peace 

 

You are who you THINK you are. Choose wisely—and boldly.

 

what readers can expect

 

Readers can expect:

  • an emphasis on recognizing and working through self-doubt
  • affirmations used as tools to reframe negative thinking
  • short, story-driven chapters rather than long-form instruction
  • reflection prompts meant to be used alongside the text
  • encouragement to define success in personal, values-based ways

With its mix of short stories, quotes, affirmations, and reflection prompts, the book seems meant to be read slowly. This doesn’t feel like something to rush through, but rather something you return to in small pieces—maybe in the morning, at the end of the day, or whenever you want a quieter kind of reading experience.

 

is this your kind of read?

 
  • This book will appeal most to readers who prefer self-help that conversational self-help rather than more rigid instructional guides. If you enjoy short chapters, everyday examples, and space to pause or jot down thoughts, this one may fit your reading style.
  • Readers who tend to gravitate toward highly structured systems, data-heavy psychology, or strictly academic frameworks may find this book’s emphasis on mindset and inner dialogue to be a different pace than what they’re used to.

about the book


Henrietta Newell stormed into the detective bureau. She claimed her adult son was missing and feared for his safety. The detectives attempted to reassure her that the absence of a bachelor in his thirties, in a city like London, wasn’t extraordinary. Despite their efforts, she insisted an investigation be conducted, reminding them of her political connections.

Detective Rudyard Bloodstone and his partner were told to look into the matter. Their investigation reveals evidence of suspicious and unusual activity but no clues regarding the man’s disappearance. The few leads they develop take them from the world of wealthy families and into the secret society of sexual peculiarities.

The detectives discover the victim didn’t simply disappear. He was murdered. They have the evidence except for one problem, they’re missing is the victim’s body.

about the author


Michael J. Kundu was born in London, Great Britain, in 1969 to an Indian father and a German mother. He has lived in various places in Europe. His love for reading has prompted him to write this book giving this crime novel more than an edge of mystery and suspense, but also a contemporary perspective on life.

He has a great passion for learning languages and travelling across the globe. He enjoys spending time with his family and lives in Luxembourg with his Italian wife and two teenage children.

My multinational background, coupled with my marriage to someone of a different nationality, has endowed me with a wealth of diverse experiences. Having traversed the globe, speaking multiple languages and immersing myself in various cultures, the profound value of each individual has become a cornerstone of my worldview. These multicultural encounters have not only fostered a deep appreciation for the uniqueness of every person but have also instilled in me a commitment to promoting mutual respect, free from the shackles of prejudice related to color or religion. In composing my book, these experiences have permeated not only this narrative …but also the forthcoming sequel.

Christian Non-Fiction Spotlight: The Eternal Flame and The Children of the Promise by PJ Patrick Flynn

Today, I have a Christian non-fiction book to share in our book blitz spotlight! Learn about The Eternal Flame and The Children of the Promise and author PJ Patrick Flynn! 

Christian Non-Fiction

Date Published: December 23, 2025

about the book

 
The Eternal Flame and the Children of the Promise traces the thread of God's covenant promises through Scripture and history, showing how the "eternal flame" of God's purpose has been guarded, opposed, and carried forward to our own generation. It is written for thoughtful lay believers and seekers, pastors, and small group leaders who feel the weight of current events and want to test every headline against the unshakeable promises of God rather than speculation or fear.
 

Drawing on careful biblical exegesis, historical research, and engagement with contemporary scholarship, it seeks to equip readers to recognize the patterns of God's dealings with His people, discern the times without sensationalism, and anchor their hope where Scripture does: in the faithfulness of the One who calls Himself "the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." 

 

By the end, readers will better understand where we are in the story of redemption—and what it means to live as children of the promise in an age of upheaval.


about the author

 


PJ Patrick Flynn is a retired public school administrator, teacher, and environmental consultant. She lives in the Sierra Nevada mountains, surrounded by animals and books, writing in the quiet of a high country retreat.
 

A seventh generation Californian, she descends from a family with more than 420 years on American soil, beginning with early arrivals to Massachusetts in the early 1600s. From the Mayflower through the Revolutionary, Civil, and World Wars, her ancestors fought for freedom, trekking across the continent over generations of Manifest Destiny to the final frontier—California in the 1800s. 

 

Her great grandfathers helped shape the Los Angeles basin in the early 1900s as it grew from a town of a few thousand into a major metropolis. One founded an early auto parts enterprise that later folded into what became the NAPA Auto Parts distribution system, and was a 33rd degree Freemason and 32nd degree Scottish Rite Mason; the other built many of the public schools of Long Beach—campuses she would encounter again a century later when her own career in school business leadership ended amid the battle over their reconstruction. 

 

That civic legacy extended through her grandfathers and close kin. One grandfather served in the U.S. Navy and spent three decades as an engineer in Lockheed’s Skunk Works, contributing to the secretive aerospace projects that defined the Cold War era. Another served in the Navy in the Second World War and later became a Superior Court judge for Island and San Juan Counties in Washington State. A maternal uncle spent ten years in the U.S. Coast Guard before rising to vice president of foreign research and development for Occidental Petroleum, and a maternal aunt served for twenty seven years as director of research within the orbit of the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency. 

 

Her father developed historic ranches in California and Nevada and worked in Republican politics alongside Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan, and Richard Nixon, later authoring two books about his time with Reagan. Until his death in 2024, he remained active in local affairs, modeling a life of engagement at the intersection of land, liberty, and public service. 

 

It is against this backdrop of faith, sacrifice, and civic engagement that she writes today. Politics, corporate development, international organizations, Freemasonry, law, the military and its industrial complex, history, land use development, and construction all appear in her extended family story, providing a living case study of the very systems traced in this book. These ancestral strands—crossing boardrooms, bases, courtrooms, campuses, and covenants—form the soil from which her understanding of global forces has grown, and the lens through which she explores genealogy, power, and promise in The Eternal Flame and the Children of the Promise.

Short story spotlight: My Guardian Angel by Mr. Adam Chase

Today, I have a short story to share! Learn about My Guardian Angel and author Mr. Adam Chase!

about the book


A Short Story of True Love, Hope, and the Power of the Human Heart

If you ask 100 readers what this story is about, you may receive 100 different answers—and that is exactly the point.

My Guardian Angel is a deeply moving short story about true love in its many forms, inspired by real life, real relationships, and real emotions. At its core, this story is a tribute to unwavering devotion between a husband and wife—and to the quiet strength that sustains us when life hangs in the balance.

Graham, a Vietnam veteran whose greatest joys are his wife and their beloved dogs, begins what seems like an ordinary day wrapped in comfort and routine. But in a sudden and devastating turn, he finds himself fighting for his life. As danger closes in, it is his wife—his lifelong “Guardian Angel”—who stands between him and the unthinkable.

Set largely within the stark stillness of a hospital, the story unfolds as friends rally, time seems to pause, and love becomes both shield and salvation. Through moments of fear, hope, memory, and faith, My Guardian Angel explores how love endures even when life is fragile—and how the bonds we build may be stronger than fate itself.

Though classified as fiction, more than 60% of this story is drawn directly from the author’s life and experiences. Every word comes from the heart—there is no AI-generated content, no shock value, and no explicit language. This is a story written for readers of all ages who believe in love, kindness, and the quiet courage found in everyday relationships.


✨ Themes Readers Will Connect With:


● True love between husband and wife

● Hope in the face of mortality

● Gratitude, humility, and resilience

● Faith, belief, and emotional connection

● Stories that inspire children and adults alike

 

My Guardian Angel does not tell readers what true love is—it invites them to discover what it means through the lens of their own lives.

If you are looking for a heartfelt, gentle, and profoundly human story—one that lingers long after the final page—this book offers a reminder that love, in all its forms, is life’s greatest gift.


about the author


Adam Chase – Author | Vietnam Veteran | Storyteller of Hope and Love

Adam Chase is a Vietnam veteran, lifelong entrepreneur, and late-in-life fiction writer whose stories are rooted in lived experience, gratitude, and enduring love. At 79 years old, Adam brings a lifetime of resilience, humility, and heart to his writing—qualities shaped by military service, decades as a self-employed corporate consultant, and his journey as a business owner and mentor. 

 

In 2016, Adam and his wife purchased a failing plumbing company despite having no prior plumbing experience. Through discipline, integrity, and a tireless work ethic forged during his Vietnam service, they transformed the business into the number-one contractor in their county. In January 2025, they sold the company to two trusted key employees—continuing to work alongside them, unpaid, ensuring the next generation’s success. Adam is widely regarded as the county’s “go-to” backflow tester and is respected for consistently placing recognition on his team rather than himself. 

 

For over thirty years, Adam worked as a self-employed corporate consultant, a career that allowed him and his wife to travel the world. One of his most unforgettable experiences was visiting the only wild panda sanctuary in the Southern Mountains of China, where he held a mother panda and her cub—an encounter that deepened his appreciation for life, connection, and wonder.

 

Later in life, Adam faced significant health challenges, including skin cancer, macular degeneration with geographic atrophy, and ocular rosacea. Rather than slowing him down, these challenges fuel his determination to remain mentally and physically engaged each day. His writing emerged not from literary ambition, but from a desire to put feelings, memories, and gratitude into words—especially for children, who he believes need hope, belief, and kindness most. 

 

Adam writes children’s bedtime stories and fiction, including the deeply personal short story My Guardian Angel, which—while categorized as fiction—is largely inspired by his real life, his marriage, and the people he loves most. Despite graduating near the bottom of a class of over 1,000 students and reading almost exclusively non-fiction and business books, Adam’s storytelling resonates because it is honest, heartfelt, and unfiltered. 

 

He does not consider himself an author by profession, but a man sharing his thoughts and feelings with sincerity. Adam credits his single greatest achievement in life as marrying “the woman of his dreams”—the inspiration behind My Guardian Angel. His stories contain no profanity, no adult content, and no artificial intelligence—only his words, his heart, and his lived truth.
