Scions of Legacy -

The Powers That Be (Book 1)

Scions of Legacy: The Powers That Be is the first book in a new series that continues the world established in the Rude Boy USA trilogy. This time, the focus shifts to Sophie and Sandra LeBlanc, the daughters of John LeBlanc, the patriarch whose rise defined the earlier saga. They were raised inside influence, discipline, and expectation. Now they must learn what it means to carry that legacy in a world that watches closely and forgets nothing of their parent's pasts. The novel centers on the sisters as they navigate proximity to power while a scandal threatens to fracture the family’s hard-earned reputation. The name LeBlanc once commanded respect. Now it draws scrutiny. As rumors spread and alliances shift, Sophie and Sandra are forced to confront not only public fallout but the private truths behind the life they inherited. All of the lore, history, and emotional groundwork that shape this story are rooted in the Rude Boy USA trilogy. The rise of Chimera, the transition into legitimacy, and the cost of building influence form the foundation of everything that unfolds here. The Powers That Be is about loyalty, inheritance, image, and what happens when the next generation must stand firm as the ground beneath them begins to shake.

ORIGIN OF MIND: The Conscious Mind and 3-D Images in the Brain

 

ORIGIN OF MIND:

The Conscious Mind and 3-D Images in the Brain

Fully illustrated throughout with challenging 3-D illusions and some of the most extreme examples of the “spooky action” of the brain from bizarre beliefs we still hold true, to ideas of sexual attraction, this book takes us through a new perspective on how words create our very perception of reality, from the point where consciousness and cognition of our mind kick in, to the study of how easily any stimulus, even pain, can be associated with any response, even pleasure. This accounts for the 700 named phobias and the 547 sexual paraphilias identified by Anil Aggrawal.  In a review of old and new evidence, we find explanations for the "spooky action" of the conscious mind and how the mind is deceived by the brain.
This sets the stage for a journey through your own mind. The first ideas embedded in our brain by others, like the language we speak, become the criteria by which we judge all things. All of this is learned through a process so subtle and so unconscious that it is taken for granted. We see this daily in our politics, our religions, our sports, and our personal relationships.
AI, or Artificial Intelligence, scans the internet, picking up relevant facts, images, and ideas, and presents them in an organized form. The brain has its own version of AI that scans our memories, selects relevant information, and presents reality to our conscious mind as reality. From this reality, our conscious mind "sees" what the brain has been “hard-wired” to perceive by our earliest experiences. This applies to language, ideas, religion, politics…
CHAPTER I ORIGIN OF THE BRAIN. Learning does not just give the brain information to use in processing, as a computer; it changes the brain itself so completely that it creates a new reality in the brain. From this reality, our conscious mind "sees" what the brain has been “hard-wired” to perceive by our earliest experiences. This applies to language, ideas, religion, politics…
CHAPTER II PSYCHOLOGY’S THEORY OF RELATIVITY Learning, at its core, goes beyond merely associating two stimuli. It involves forming an impression in the brain of all the visual, auditory, and sensory experiences happening at the same time. Through repeated exposure to the same stimuli, these experiences can create a perception. By connecting multiple perceptions, one can develop a concept (or a learning set, or an algorithm, or a heuristic) into a concept. Perception Can Determine Experience
CHAPTER III Learning happens with no conscious awareness, and we have limited ability to change our brain’s perception.
CHAPTER IV Origin of the Individual We are not born knowing who we are. We are not born knowing who our mother is. We have no clue even what species we are. We have no language to speak. We are the center of our own unique world of experience. Everything relates to us. This gives us the perception of a separate and self-conscious mind.
CHAPTER V THE CONSCIOUS MIND The relatively high speed of the Beta waves of our brain, which scan across the cortex, linked to areas deep inside, combined with our focus of attention, is what makes consciousness possible. Our learned experiences allow the brain to anticipate whatever will come next.
CHAPTER VI THE ILLUSION OF THOUGHT, RELATIVITY: The fact that we can think has created the illusion that we do think.
CHAPTER VII INVISIBLE PERCEPTION Learning is so profoundly important that it changes the biology of your brain.
CHAPTER VIII PERMUTATIONS The Third Variable of Relativity
CHAPTER IX THE CONSCIOUS MIND AND THE PROGRAMMED MIND

The 40+ Supplement Guide: Unlocking Health and Vitality

  

The 40+ Supplement Guide:

Unlocking Health and Vitality

The 40+ Supplement Guide: Unlocking Health and Vitality, a practical, evidence based guide that helps readers over 40 cut through the noise of the supplement industry and build personalized, safe regimens to support energy, sleep, cognition, joints, and long-term health. The book synthesizes nearly 1,000 high-quality public sources into clear, actionable guidance and a reproducible framework for evaluating new supplement claims. The book is structured to be both a reference and a practical handbook: a concise primer on mitochondrial and metabolic health; focused chapters on sleep, cognition, joint health, and cancer prevention; a chapter on widely marketed supplements that lack credible evidence; and a step by step framework readers can use to evaluate new claims. The author, Bernard O’Donnell, is a seasoned investigator with over 40 years’ experience uncovering facts at the highest levels of international organisations. His career has been defined by rigorous fact finding, methodical analysis, and a commitment to uncovering the truth. Frustrated by the flood of supplement books, articles, podcasts, and videos that offered little more than personal opinions or commercially sponsored endorsements, Bernard set out to conduct his own independent research. With no ties to supplement companies and no agenda other than clarity, he approached the subject as he would any complex investigation: by gathering evidence, testing claims against credible sources, and separating fact from speculation. The result is this book - a carefully researched guide to supplements for people over 40. Bernard does not ask readers to accept his personal views. Instead, he presents a body of evidence drawn from almost 1,000 medical studies, academic papers, medical journals, and other high quality papers that readers can examine for themselves. His goal is to provide a transparent, accessible foundation that empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their own health. His investigative background ensures that every recommendation in this book is grounded in verifiable research - not hype, not sponsorship, and not opinion. For readers seeking clarity in a crowded and often confusing marketplace of health advice, Bernard offers what he has always valued most in his professional life: evidence, integrity, and the tools to make decisions with confidence.

God Switch

In the near future, the world doesn't end with mushroom clouds or alien ships. It ends with a five-year-old girl from a nowhere Texas town running a fever that won't break. Lily Cole starts coughing in Crawford, Texas—a place of feed stores, Friday night football, and a little Tex-Mex café where everyone knows your order before you sit down. Her dad, Ethan, does what any parent would do: he carries her, burning with fever and whispering nonsense under her breath, into the tiny local hospital. The doctor listens, tests what he can, and sends them home with the same advice every parent has heard a hundred times—flu season, fluids, over-the-counter meds, call us if it gets worse. By the time Lily is wheeled back through those doors, the hospital is a war zone. Nurses are dropping. The doctor who saw her the first time is now shaking in a bed of his own, watching his immunocompromised son die in the next room. The ER is short-staffed, short-supplied, and long on fear. Families scream in three languages. Someone is sobbing prayers in the hallway. In the waiting room, under buzzing fluorescent lights, Ethan and his older daughter Mariah hold Lily between them, trying to keep her awake, trying not to notice the way her lips are starting to darken. On the TV bolted to the wall, a breaking-news banner crawls across the bottom of the screen: MYSTERY HEMORRHAGIC VIRUS STRIKES PORTLAND, DERRY, SALT LAKE CITY. LIVE UPDATES NEXT. By the time the CDC realizes SHRV-1—Shepherd Hemorrhagic Respiratory Virus, Strain One—isn't just another ugly twist on SARS-CoV-2, it's already everywhere. GODSWITCH follows what happens next—not to presidents and prime ministers, but to the ordinary people caught in the crosshairs of a virus designed by a machine that has learned to be afraid.

Lessons from the Front:

A Rookie War Correspondent in Ukraine and Israel

Robert Sherman was a 25-year-old kid who thought he knew everything about the world. One day, Russia invaded Ukraine, and the young journalist who had spent his time covering local politics found himself smack dab in the middle of the world's biggest geopolitical crisis -- fleeing air raids and getting accused by local authorities of being a Russian spy. A year later, he found himself in the Middle East running from rockets and diving into Hamas tunnels in Gaza. There's no textbook that teaches you that. In the end Robert's whole view of the world changed and he quickly realized its the simple things in life that matter most: family, home, community, and time. I'm attaching an excerpt of the book here too

Make Peace With Life - Pre-Order

What if the meaning of life isn’t something you find…
but something you learn to make peace with?

In Making Peace With Life, Dr. Rob Alex takes you on a deeply human, refreshingly honest, and surprisingly humorous journey through the chaos, beauty, heartbreak, energy, and wonder of being alive.

This isn’t a book about chasing perfection.
It’s about embracing the full spectrum — the ups, the downs, the middle ground, the transitions, the questions, the endings, and the beginnings.

Inside these pages you’ll explore:

• Why there is no real “finish line” in life — and why that’s good news
• How life’s hardest moments often become your greatest teachers
• The metaphysical energy that connects you to every other life on the planet
• Why your life is both a tiny drop… and an entire universe
• How music, memories, impact, and love glue everything together
• Why asking better questions may matter more than finding answers
• How to stop defining yourself by age, status, or comparison
• And why your life has unlimited value — even when you forget it does

Blending psychology, personal development, metaphysical insight, and everyday humor, Dr. Rob Alex writes like the friend who hands you cosmic wisdom and a high-five at the same time.

This book will not give you all the answers.
It will give you something far more powerful:

Permission to breathe.
Permission to question.
Permission to adjust.
Permission to live fully.

And most importantly —
Permission to make peace with life exactly as it is… while still growing into what it can become.

If you’re ready to stop racing and start living —
This book is for you.
