John C. Maxwell, #1 New York Times bestselling author, helps readers take the first steps to living a life that matters inIntentional Living. We all have a longing to be significant. We want to make a contribution, to be a part of something noble and purposeful. But many people wrongly believe significance is unattainable. They worry that it's too big for them to achieve. That they have to have an amazing idea, be a certain age, have a lot of money, or be powerful or famous to make a real difference. The good news is that none of those things is necessary for you to achieve significance and create a lasting legacy. The only thing you need to achieve significance is to be intentional. And to do that, all you need to do is start. You can't make an impact sitting still and doing nothing. Every major accomplishment that's ever been achieved started with a first step. Sometimes it's hard; other times it's easy, but no matter what, you have to do it if you want to get anywhere in life. In Intentional Living, John Maxwell will help you take that first step, and the ones that follow, on your personal path through a life that matters.

What do you do when you suspect that you are the villain of the story? How would you behave when your entire worldview is questioned? In the midst of a questionable mission, Dalysis and her partner Isori are confronted with these questions and drawn into a whirlwind of deceit, lies and misconceptions.

This is my melting heart. The collection of my scars, my rage, my tears. Yet past the darkest night there lies another day. Come witness.

The Jefe's Curse is a murder mystery that presents readers with a compelling narrative. The chief of a prominent corporation was found murdered in his office. When the investigation team arrived, the cold body of Jack Robinson was discovered on the floor, and there were no bloodstains. The firm's staff was promptly assembled in the main hall of the multimillion-dollar company. However, during the process, five people got stuck in an elevator. This included the boss's daughter, whom the boss was unaware was employed in his company; his beloved son, a possible successor of the corporation; his favorite sister, who has been his right-hand since the company's meteoric rise and also a potential successor of the corporation; Jack's long-employed secretary; and a policeman responsible for transporting the company's personnel down the stairs. Which of them is most to blame?

"It is the most beautiful sight. The red on white." Yearning for the Red is a collection of dark and sorrowful short stories and poems. In this book, Venus grants life yet not freedom. A Paperboy goes missing in the other world and returns silent and changed. Two soldiers hope to make it through the cold darkness, having given up on killing half-gods. Paper will be burned, forgetting how easily the world can go up in flames. And young artists sacrifice everything for art, passion, and the love of their revenant muse. Though different, every character is yearning for the red: the red sun, the red moon, the red beauty, the red blood and the red flames. All are anticipating the end of their world and ache for immortality.

''I am still thinking about these dreams. They were so intense, frying my brain for weeks.'' Some humans can't remember their dreams at all, believing they don't dream. Yet, even a newborn can dream. It may sound foolish, but I believe our minds travel to another world when we sleepwandering in an alternate universe while our Earthly bodies rest. From terrifying nightmares to exciting lucid dreams, the tales provoke contemplation about one's own sleep journey.
