Once they’re separated, Zaharie’s trepidations of dying are accompanied by regrets of falling for Brandon and leaving her daughter in the world alone.

A miracle is what they both need in order to make it home to their little one, and a miracle is what they shall receive. Zuri is still MIA while Phantom is left in a compromising position, and the one person that’s able to save him doesn’t seem to have the strength to do it; himself. He’s forced from his hospital bed too soon, which can lead to his demise if he doesn’t play his cards right. With time not on his side and his life on the line, he goes to depths past his body’s capabilities in order to ensure his family is safe. With one problem solved, another one always seems to appear. Phantom is ready to leave the game, putting Boog in charge of all drug operations, but he may have to let his grass grow so high that he isn’t able to see snakes directly in his face.

Or will the pressure of it all cause his whole world to crumble?

Ryou is loyal to his Queen, the ruler of pirates and thieves, but when he is sent to assist Etienne with unraveling the mysteries of missing ships and walking dead, he finds his loyalties tested.

It is up to the mage, the spirit, and the pirate to thwart the evil tainting the land of Ingola in this high-stakes adventure, complete with mystery, action, and LGBTQIA+ romance. Content Warnings: Violence, gore, death, non-explicit sex. What readers are saying: "I really enjoyed the book. It was a great ride. Full of adventure, queer romance, and magic. I enjoyed the pace, the relationship building, and the fight scenes. What I would have done to read a book like this growing up. I didn't have to project myself into the read because you wrote it directly into it." —Pedro L "The evolution and continuation of the Call of Calamity saga set fifteen years in the future. A mature Etienne has fine-tuned his mage skills and finds himself embarked on a journey that includes a beautiful young noble cut down in her prime and trapped in the spirit body, a strong skillful pirate that is infuriating, seductive, entertaining, and intriguing. Unsolved murders and death mages, blood magic, and mystery make this an enticing read. It also is one of the rare books that is LGBTQIA+ friendly. The inclusiveness is refreshing." —Kat R

This book discusses the themes of personhood and personal identity. It argues that while there is a metaphysical answer to the question of personal identity, there is no metaphysical answer to the question of what constitutes a person. The author argues against both body-mind dualism and physicalism and also against the idea that there is some metaphysically real category of persons distinct from the category of human beings or human organisms. Instead, the author presents neutral-monist, autopoietic-enactivist kind of metaphysics of the human being, and a relational, and completely human-dependent notion of a person. The tools used in these arguments include conceptual argumentation and empirical case studies. Using both personal experiences and studies of cultures all over the world, the author examines dualism between mind and body. The author discusses real people who seem to live a Cartesian life, as somehow disembodied minds as well as the concept of the person. The author uses the concluding chapters to present their own views arguing that questions about our identity should be separated from questions of our personhood as well as the concept of personhood. This volume is of interest to scholars of philosophy of mind.

We're used to thinking about the self as an independent entity, something that we either have or are. In The Ego Tunnel, philosopher Thomas Metzinger claims otherwise: No such thing as a self exists. The conscious self is the content of a model created by our brain - an internal image, but one we cannot experience as an image. Everything we experience is ''a virtual self in a virtual reality.'' But if the self is not ''real,'' why and how did it evolve? How does the brain construct it? Do we still have souls, free will, personal autonomy, or moral accountability? In a time when the science of cognition is becoming as controversial as evolution, The Ego Tunnel provides a stunningly original take on the mystery of the mind.

If you want to get rich, no matter how inexperienced you are in investment, this book can help you. Its message is that you must not avoid risk, nor court it foolhardily, but learn how to manage it - and enjoy it too. The 12 major and 16 minor Zurich Axioms contained in this book are a set of principles providing a practical philosophy for the realistic management of risk, which can be followed successfully by anyone, not merely the 'experts'. Several of the Axioms fly right in the face of the traditional wisdom of the investment advice business - yet the enterprising Swiss speculators who devised them became rich, while many investors who follow the conventional path do not. Max Gunther, whose father was one of the original speculators who devised the Axioms, made his first capital gain on the stock market at the age of 13 and never looked back. Now the rest of us can follow in his footsteps. Startlingly straightforward, the Axioms are explained in a book that is not only extremely entertaining but will prove invaluable to any investor, whether in stocks, commodities, art, antiques or real estate, who is willing to take risk on its own terms and chance a little to gain a lot.

Although someone close to him might know, they’re skeptical about coming forth with the information. Just when he feels like everything is back to normal, he realizes that the snake has been hissing in his face the entire time. After all they’ve been through, this may be just enough to break what Zaharie and Boog built, if they let it. With all they’ve endured, will this more than likely be the thing to break them up? Or will all the hardships they’ve experienced together be just what they need to appreciate each other and make it work? Find out in this last installment of Boog and Zaharie.
