It has hogged the number one sales spot across all the main retailers for the last few weeks. This powerful memoir by the former FLOTUS definitely deserves this coveted status. Today it's finally been displaced from the top spot in Amazon and the choice is surprising. -

The Art of War by Sun Tzu - Book Review
The Art of War was written over two thousand years ago by the legendary Chinese general Sun Tzu. Surprisingly, it is just as relevant today as on the day it was written. This is the most influential book in history on military strategy and is studied by most military academies. You may wonder to yourself, that's great but it doesn't really apply to me because I'm not in the military and I don't plan on waging any wars. Fair point, but I will explain to you how this book is an absolute must read for everyone. -

Audiobooks Fastest Growing Publishing Format
Who would've thought that listening to someone read you a book could be enjoyable, years ago that would've seemed absurd. However our world is continuously striving for better and quicker consumption of content. An audiobook gives people the opportunity to plow through books while they're at the gym, doing mundane tasks at home such as cooking/cleaning or commuting to work. We know that there're benefits in reading books but are there any benefits in listening to audiobooks. Well, besides the enjoyment factor, it is claimed that audiobooks drastically improve your vocabulary, reading speed and fluency. -
Believe In The Impossible - You're More Than a Statistic
There is a statistic for everything and 99% percent of the time these stats are right. If you search any industry or field and google the probability of success then you going to be greatly disheartened. Whether you want to be a successful actor, sports star, entertainer, writer or entrepreneur - you're going to go through the ringer and the stats are mounted against you. The beginning is an uphill climb because you cannot imagine even how much further you have to go and whether you'll ever see the summit. -
Will The Real Satoshi Please Stand Up
One of the most groundbreaking innovations of the modern era is blockchain technology. It's uses are so varied that it can advance almost any industry and as our world continues to be more depend on technology, I believe that we will be fully blockchain dependent - right down to personal identity. Since blockchain technology is just over 10 years old, it's taking businesses and governments time to adapt and learn it's advantages. But have no doubt, blockchain is the future basis of almost everything. -
A Fresh Start - Don't Let It Stop You
New beginnings are tough for our naturally change evasive human nature. We seek security and stability in a dynamic fast changing world where nothing stays the same - most definitely not people's lives. People live and die daily at such a rate that it's like natures way of changing socks. We're consistently thrust into circumstances that are beyond our control and we start seeking a deeper meaning, an understanding of why this is all happening. Unfortunately, there is no definitive answer to why. Not religion nor science can give you an answer that is provable. -
The Voss Coin - The Book Cover
One of the most fun and exciting stages in creating a novel is when you need to decide on the cover design. The reason I say that, it's because you're towards the end of your project and your baby is coming to life. That crazy idea you had in your head is now ready for the physical world. Something that people can see, relate to and thoroughly enjoy. I actually developed the cover before I had finished writing The Voss Coin. Once I was decided on the title, I set about creating the cover. It gave me a sense of realism and motivation to dedicate more time to writing and bring my novel into the world. -
The Voss Coin - Suicide To Save Your Family
Kevin is faced with a hard choice. Suicide would end it all. If he was dead, his family would be safe. His enemies would not seek retribution, they would not kill for no gain. It would be the ultimate selfless final act and his family could continue life without him. Or would it be? This a question he is faced with and there is no pussyfooting around it. I believe this question has it's unfortunate parallels in our world with the issue of euthanasia or so-called assisted suicide, in order to relieve a person of pain and suffering. Do you place the priority of your loved ones ahead of yourself? Are you morally obliged to?
