The Trials and Tribulations of Kittyhood
This book is a work of love. Love for a cat named Aphrodite. We adopted her the minute we saw her come out of the hiding place where her feral mom and dad were temporarily staying…under our neighbor’s back porch. It was love at first sight. We adopted the whole family and they stayed with us until her mom and dad (Hera and Zeus) crossed over that Rainbow Bridge. Sixteen years later, Aphrodite is still with us, and although she has some health issues, is still going strong. I hope you enjoy her story (as told to you by Aphrodite).

The Trilogy of Bipolar Management
By Kris Rock
By the time I was 50 I had been committed to psychiatric wards four times, attempted suicide a dozen times, divorced twice, roved from job to job and home to home, subjected myself to analysis by dozens of therapists and psychiatrists, used sex and drugs freely as needed to control my moods, took dozens of psychotropic medications, slept with 100 men and women, and spent several fortunes. I continued to look for the perfect drug to control my mood swings without horrible side effects. There didn’t seem to be one.

The Trilogy of Bipolar Management Part 3: S’cuse Me While I Kiss the Sky
By Kris Rock
Book 3 is a light-hearted conclusion to my trilogy, and its purpose is to suggest that being bipolar doesn’t have to be the end of the world. In fact, a bipolar person can live a rich, happy, and productive life, once certain contingencies are met, namely, trusted friends and professionals nearby and low dosages of appropriate medications taken without fail. In Book 3, I describe my move to Virginia with many pets and my remaining at-home child to live with my second ex-husband and his many pets and remaining at-home child. In spite of difficulties with this arrangement, my moods remain stable, and I feel that I am fully recovered from my disease. I feel so well, in fact, that I go back to work full-time and enjoy the feeling of being a professional person again. I discover that as long as I remember everything I’ve learned about being bipolar and maintain as orderly a life as I can, I don’t have to worry about the chaos I faced earlier in life. I have no more raging, manic, or bottomless-pit moods, and I hope I am an inspiration to others who may not have progressed as far as I have. The whole purpose of my books is to demonstrate how a bipolar person can finally achieve stability. Not many bipolar people have lasted as long as I have, and my books are meant to encourage anyone who is dragged down by impossible moods and disasters all around. In my book 3, I celebrate my life as it has become, and I urge others to hang on in spite of everything—life is worth it!

The Truth on Fat Loss: Regular people trying to avoid being ripped off by the Marketers and the Industry
I was born in the 70’s to Norman and Margarette at a time when drugs, violence was at its peak. While growing up, I was actually under weight… but also very active. It got to the point that I had to be prescribed Flintstones vitamins with hopes of gaining weight. At the age of (5), I could do 100 pushups a clip. I would do them on command by family members. At the age of ten, I started to abuse the vitamins to the point that my hunger was out of control. I started to gain weight and quickly ballooned to “overweight” status!
All through senior high, junior high, and elementary school I was overweight. I always wanted to try out for the football team in my neighborhood, but my weight class wasn’t matching up for my age class. Most of the starting teams were arranged primarily with the same age and weight. So, for example, someone eleven years old would play for the 120-pound team. I weighed 120 pounds, but because I was maybe eight years old, that was not an option for me. I was their size but they were much stronger than me.
By the time I reached high school I had morphed into whopping two-hundred pounds when most fourteen- year-old were barely reaching 150 pounds. By the time I reached the age of seventeen, I was 300 to 320 pounds!! It wasn’t until I went to prison in 2009 that I was sick and tired of being over-weight and stubbornly fat — almost obese!! I got sentenced to six years in prison and into my fourth year, I couldn’t take it anymore.
I met a gentleman by the name of Alexander Ferguson from the state of Connecticut. He woke up the “sleeping giant” to exercise and put me on the path to a healthy new me. I personified that regimen and made it what it is today. Although Mr. Ferguson and I relationship were strained, primarily due to geographical disagreements… I still chose to stay on the right path and I still give gratitude to him. And with that being said, it’s time I take you on your new journey to refurbish health. So without further ado we’ll proceed.

The Uncovering of the Greatest Story Never Told
By Gerald L.
In between the covers of this book you will be shown information that will, if taken with the right perspective in mind, show the reader a way to a realm of light that is different than the natural sunlight because it is a light that comes from within and is eternal. Eternal in a sense that it never fails to eliminate because it is not related to time. It is a light that shines between our heartbeats and if you latch on to this perspective that is in sync with this realm you will be as free as a bird to surf through the heavens unto your heart’s desire. The reader will see information that was perhaps never realized before but always there just waiting for the right moment to come alive. You will see that this information is tied to the very fabric of your being and is related to the perspective of your conscious soul waiting to prosper.
About the author:
