The Finished Story

Avinash J

Business / Economics / Nonfiction

Love is an emotion of a strong affection and personal attachment. Love may be understood as part of the survival instinct, a function to keep human beings together against menaces and to facilitate the continuation of the species.There are many different theories that attempt to explain what love is, and what function it serves. It would be very difficult to explain love to a hypothetical person who had not himself or herself experienced love or being loved. In fact, to such a person love would appear to be quite strange if not outright irrational behavior.

It is set in the world of Archea, a moonless volcanic planet inhabited by native reptiles and numerous stranded species from other worlds, carried there by arcane forces. These intelligent species must vie for control of their new home and this leads to constant battle, chaos and conflict. The humans and their allies within the Trade Sea Alliance must defend themselves from dozens of alien neighbours who seek to rob them of land and resources.

Church Boys

Church Boys

Ronnie

Business / Nonfiction / Biography

For as long as he could remember, Aaron and his family are so involved in this lil baptist church, where everybody knows everybody. But one day another family joins and Aaron makes a new Friend, Bryson...but soon both Aaron and Bryson discover they were meant to be more than just friends......Ward's Laws has appeared on the iTunes Humour genre charts 11 times. It has appeared on charts in Australia, USA.Ward’s Laws is a silly thing I started on Facebook. When I first opened my account I did what every other forty-something year old does, I froze. I didn’t know what to write.I started posting the usual stuff. I talked about my day, my dog, my bathroom habits and said LOL a lot, but that just wasn’t me. I wanted to do something more. I wanted to contribute to the good of the world (are you believing any of this yet?) After reinventing myself I started posting my observations of the world around me in the form of Ward’s Laws.I now wrote about funny observations I made about everyday life. Silly word plays as well as things we see and do all the time but never question. As the number of new posts grew, my friends on the site started telling me that I needed to publish these laws as a book. At first I was flattered, but their constant encouragement, LOL's, and retweets gave me the fortitude to create the book you are about to read. If your still not sure, download the free sample and see if my laws make you laugh.
