Have you written anything about preparedness? Is it on a blog somewhere yet? The Preparedness Fair is coming soon, and would love to have your post included on it! The focus will be on disaster preparedness, and sharing our experiences and insights that might benefit others. More info and guidelines to follow.
All going well, the first one will be this coming Saturday!

A Day in the Life of a Minimalist
Many high reviews. Looks quality. ”At age 30, Joshua Fields Millburn left his six-figure career, ditched most of his material possessions, and started focusing on life’s most important aspects. …a collection of his best, most important individual writings
Six Global Mega-Trends and How To Make Them Work For You
’ The starting point is the following: with the world becoming ever more susceptible to shocks, the global risk landscape is now dominated by sharp discontinuities. Our world is changing everywhere, radically, very fast and in multiple intersecting ways that lend themselves to constant surprises. There is now no place to hide from the turbulence, the challenges and the uncertainties. The last chapter (largely based on interviews and conversations with key decision-makers and leading investors) provides some important insights and “tips” not only on how to cope with, but also on how to benefit from these dramatic changes.”
GUIDE for the Book : ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS-12 STEPS- ESTIMATING ELECTRICAL WORK

How To Think Like A Genius: A Very Easy Guide
also included the FREE eBook: "How to Study: 20 Tips"
Excerpt: “GIVE AWAY VALUE ALL THE TIME “I never get tired of being useful.”-Leonardo da Vinci The Genius mindset understands the need to create and give away massive amounts of value, and doing this freely without expectation of reward. Thinking like a Genius does not mean living a life of isolation; it instead embraces our lives with others, and then makes a point of being someone who is always giving of their time, energy and talents. Changing our attitudes and actions so that we think of others is a significant step toward thinking like a Genius. There are many rules in regard to treating others: treat them like you want to be treated (the famous golden rule). But I want to try and move this debate toward a more developed conclusion; the “platinum” rule states: “Do unto others as they would have done unto them.” and this is closer to how the Genius mind thinks. Because the Genius finds what other people wants, and then works to give this to them; this is how to be “useful” as Leonardo understood it.”

ALABAMA GIRL-Memoir of a Writer-Part 1
”Her mother suffered mental illness, though it was undiagnosed most of her life. Observing the chaotic life when with her parents and the loving embrace once she was again with her grandparents, she began to study the behavior of those around her and delve into what made them do the things they did. Now, after a lifetime of writing and publishing fiction, both novels and stories, she has begun her autobiography. It's not just for writers interested in a writer's life. It's for everyone…”
The Brendan Voyage
”Tim Severin and his companions built a boat using only techniques and materials available in the sixth-century A.D, when St Brendan was supposed to have sailed to America. The vessel comprised forty-nine ox hides stitched together in a patchwork and stretched over a wooden frame. This leather skin was only a quarter of an inch thick. Yet Severin and his crew sailed Brendan from Brandon Creek in Dingle to Newfoundland, surviving storms and a puncture from pack ice. "The Brendan Voyage" is Tim Severin's dramatic account of their journey. Brilliantly written and impeccably researched, "The Brendan Voyage" is a classic of modern exploration and has been translated into 27 languages. It conveys unforgettably the sensation of being in a small, open boat alone in the vastness of the North Atlantic, visited by inquisitive whales, reaching mist-shrouded landfalls, and receiving a welcome from seafaring folk wherever the crew touched land.”

Crossing the Rubicon (The Journey)
“the story of seven remarkable teens as they survive the unbelievable. What started out as a simple weekend trip exploring the Chungo caves, became a journey which took them back 275 years in time, had them cross multiple continents, and stretched them to their limits. Discover how they survived with just the clothes on their backs, some limited technology and their wits and resolve. In a world without computers, without the basic items we use each day, could you survive?”
Tornado Mountain
”After George moves from Wyoming to Kansas, the Midwest is plagued by devastating tornadoes. He has an idea to stop the storms. He will build a mountain. Will they let him?” This book is classified on Amazon under Science Fiction, but you can’t tell from the description why.
Noble Cause: A Civil War Novel of Love and War

Convergence
”a novel of time travel in a rich historical setting. The feathery white ribbons in the sky above Adams County, Pennsylvania, were nothing unusual--just the vapor trail evidence of high-flying aircraft that one might see on any day. But for the men on the ground below they were a puzzlement. And no wonder: the year was 1863 and the men were Confederate soldiers marching toward the most significant battle of the American Civil War. Thousands of miles away and 105 years later, Navy pilot Nathaniel Booth and his navigator complete their air mission over Laos and are headed back to the deck of the USS Enterprise when their aircraft mysteriously vanishes. Our hero Booth is declared Missing In Action. Years later when Rose Booth, the family matriarch, learns that her son may not have been a casualty of the war as previously believed, she enlists a prominent history professor and his protégé to uncover the truth.”

This amazing trip will eventually change the naive Kathleen into...the new woman of the early twentieth-century.“
Shades of Grey
”John is not a very nice man. He works for the government. So who has tied him to a chair and what do they want? James is a British soldier during WWII. Tom is a young boy with a terrible secret. Three stories. Three very different people. All of them battling to survive.”
Into the Snow: The Testimony and Last Will of Jedediah P. Carpenter
”ased on the legend of Silverheels, this novel views events surrounding the early development of the Colorado gold camps through the eyes of Jedediah P. Carpenter, who was orphaned on the Nebraska prairie at the age of sixteen, then finds and loses fortune and love during the great Pikes Peak Gold Rush.”
Wildflowers of Terezin
“ A Danish Lutheran pastor’s complacent faith is stretched to the breaking point during World War II when he meets a young Jewish nurse Hanne Abrahamsen and becomes deeply involved in Resistance efforts to save Denmark’s Jews from the Nazi prison camp at Terezin, Czechoslovakia—also known as Theresienstadt… When things go terribly wrong and Hanne is sent to Terezin, Steffen finds his heart fully engaged. He undertakes protests and rescues that are more and more dangerous, never imagining where it will lead him, or the ultimate cost of his decision to get directly involved. “
Rescue at Boomerang Bend (Adventures Down Under #3)
Youth adventure. Established and traditionally published author. Christian. “The deadly river has them trapped… The continuing search for his missing father has Patrick McWaid discouraged. Even news of the circus coming to town fails to lift Patrick’s spirits. But when the circus barges have an accident on the river, tumbling all the animals into the water, the possibility of tigers on the loose has Patrick worried about John McWaid’s safety! Then their grandfather’s paddle steamer is chosen to give the visiting Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, a tour of the river and the famous Barmah eucalyptus forest, and Patrick and Becky ride along. But the heavy winter rains have made the river extremely dangerous, threatening to capsize the boat. Will Patrick and the others reach safety before it’s too late?”

Politics, Terrorism, and Intrigue/Conspiracy
Death's Door
”Death’s Door is one of the few comic books to be used in schools and youth groups with its message of peace and a plea to not judge and tar others with certain labels and mind sets. The story deals with how a Sikh man is mistaken for being a terrorist and what unfolds is a gripping and perceptive tale of society's fear and ignorance. The hard hitting narrative coupled with the dynamic artwork provides a great stimulus for engaging discussion about the world we live in and questions our own thoughts and feelings.”
Alpha Threat
“This is a story steeped in truth… a stronghold in the Amazon jungle is the key to the Nazis' real goal to rule the world by destroying the world’s economy.” Starting in wartime, picked up and continued in the present.
Swiss Trap
“an entertaining, relentless read as FBI investigator Alex Reed uncovers a nightmare with worldwide consequences…FBI investigator Alex Reed pursues a shadowy girl in possession of a secret which could trigger worldwide nightmare consequences... it soon becomes apparent that not everything is as it appears…It is only in the final dramatic twist that the real conspiracy is revealed.”

The After/Life (The After/Life Saga)
”the story of Nad Raven - a young man, whose childhood is shattered by a cataclysmic event that leaves him trapped in an underground vault with a few other survivors of a modern day apocalypse. It is a tale of a small community that tries to move on after all hope seems to have been wiped out by an all out nuclear war. With our planet turned into a grim wasteland, the protagonist discovers that even in an isolated micro society there is love and hate, grief and happiness, valor and treason as well as that overpowering human temptation to find out what is out there - beyond the safe walls of the underground shelter. To find out, Nad embarks on a dangerous journey that holds many dark secrets that will change his life forever.”
"a post-holocaust romantic adventure novel set in the late 21st century. The world of Pandora's Genes and of its sequel, Pandora's Children
(not free) is devastated after an oil-spill disaster has led to the end of civilization. Many animal and insect species are extinct or mutated, and there are no remnants of what we consider modern technology. The spread of a deadly new disease that selectively kills women is the plot point that sets the story in motion."

With our planet turned into a grim wasteland, the protagonist discovers that even in an isolated micro society there is love and hate, grief and happiness, valor and treason as well as that overpowering human temptation to find out what is out there - beyond the safe walls of the underground shelter. To find out, Nad embarks on a dangerous journey that holds many dark secrets that will change his life forever.”
"a post-holocaust romantic adventure novel set in the late 21st century. The world of Pandora's Genes and of its sequel, Pandora's Children
(not free) is devastated after an oil-spill disaster has led to the end of civilization. Many animal and insect species are extinct or mutated, and there are no remnants of what we consider modern technology. The spread of a deadly new disease that selectively kills women is the plot point that sets the story in motion."
