DOWNLOAD EBOOK →'Chasing Fears' the first instalment of 'A Broken Paradise'. Awen finally escapes from the family home, from her initial fears and spontaneously decides she's going on a self-discovery mission to America, where her childhood holidays took her and she met her friends. But the moment she leaves her home, with her poor teenage sister Dylis, she's faced with danger and utter terror as it seems there really was a reason her family kept her so secret and it wasn't because of her many gifts that were unnatural to human's such as you or I, it was because Awen is being hunted by beings we can't even begin to grasp, understand, comprehend. And to accomplish any of that you'd also have to believe that they not only exist, but they are human, their far more human than you or I, that the possibility that you and I aren't what we thought, that maybe we're the Aliens of this planet and not Awen and her kind.... In any case, she'll go searching to find out what her family have kept from her, her whole life!. "Ooh!, and do you wanna know what Jesus was really protecting you from?"

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →THE ALLIANCE Second installment to the A Broken Paradise Series. "Oh my god!" "WENI!" "WENI!, open your eyes!" "What happened?" "CUALLI!" "What's happened to Weni, Cualli?." Sheriton asked, tears already welling up in her eyes. "I know this is a little hard to understand right now." I began again, "I know right now you're all just thinking about the fact that she's gone, but there is still hope, there is still hope that this can work." "THAT IS NOT WENI!!" Sheriton screamed at me. "What happens if people find out? What if Damson finds out." Tess blurted out. "The Alliance will fall apart?" Perri mumbles under his breath. Galina wiped her tears. "Awen is still in there, that body is still hers." "How can you trust her?" Tess asked. "I don't think it's a case of trust right now...." Ceri said as he got to his feet and walked to Galina and Sheriton. "She's keeping my sister alive."

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Bicycling Through Paradise is a collection of twenty historically themed cycling tours broken into 10-mile segments centered around Cincinnati, Ohio. Written by two longtime cyclists--one a professor of history and one an architect--the book is an affectionate, intimate, and provocative reading of the local landscape and history from the perspectives of cycling and Cincinnati enthusiasts. Tours, navigated by Smythe and Hanlon, take cyclers past Native American sites, early settler homesteads, and locations made know through recent Ohio change-makers as navigated by the authors. With extensive details on routes and sites along the way, tours between 20 and 80 miles in length are designed for all levels of cyclists, and even the armchair explorer. Riders and readers will visit towns called Edenton, Loveland, Felicity, and Utopia. Along the journey, they'll encounter an abandoned Shaker village near the Whitewater Forest and a tiny dairy house called "Harmony Hill," the oldest standing structure in Clermont County, Ohio. They'll also take in the view from the top of a 2,000-year-old, 75-foot tall, conical Indian mound at Miamisburg. Riders can follow the Little Miami Scenic Trail and take a detour to a castle on the banks of the Little Miami River. Other sights include a full-scale replica of the tomb of Jesus in Northern Kentucky and the small pleasures of public parks, covered bridges, tree-lined streets, riverside travel, and one-room schoolhouses. And if all this isn't exactly Paradise, well, it's pretty close.
