But wait, you might be forgetting the most important part of sailing: preparation. How many times have you been out sailing and the luff on your mainsail or headsail begins to sag, or show scallops after the breeze picks up?

Never Die on a Cold Night

Summary

In Chicago the year 1979, Detective David Neal and his partner were thrust into a series of dark, grisly murders. The darkest they and the people of Chicago, had ever seen. The deaths were so bizarre; the government got involved sending a beautiful female FBI agent, who seemed to have her own agenda. After seeing an older female at one of the crime scenes, David and David only saw her time and time again in the strangest places. While these things were going on, David began to have the craziest dreams and visions. His mind took him to places it had never gone before. He began to doubt his sanity. At that point, the only thing that kept him sane was the woman he fell in love with, Sadie. As David ran around the car trying to make his way across the street, he slipped on the ice and fell into the melting snow. He must have hit his head on the cold hard ground beneath the snow. "Damn", David said feeling dazed yet scrambling to his feet. Shaking his head, he proceeded to the alley. The woman was still there hanging out of the window screaming and pointing to the ground. "There is a dog down there killing a man" she screamed. "Please help him, please help him somebody, please help him." David didn’t see any traces of a dog as he entered the alley. What he did see was the most gruesome sight he'd ever encountered. Blood and pieces of human flesh were everywhere. Never Die On A Cold Night is the first book I've written of a series which I will publish soon. I hope you find the novels as intriguing as it was for me to write them.

Book Marketing Basics: The 5 Ps

Summary

The wordsy woman philosophy when it comes to book marketing is that there is no one-size-fits-all magic bullet tactic that’s going to work for every author and every book. There is no proven system you can follow that will guarantee that your book will become a best seller. What works for one author, one book, or one reader may not work for another. So, I advocate getting back to the marketing basics.  In Book Marketing Basics: The 5 Ps, you will go beyond hit-and-miss marketing tactics to learn how to apply the marketing fundamentals in the ways that make the most sense to your product, your readers, your personality, and your preferences. It will help you get your book or product in the best shape as possible to prepare for the market.  You’ll decide the best price at which to offer your book or product for sale as well as where offering it for sale is most likely to attract buyers. We’ll also cover promotion in general as well as online and offline. Throughout it all, you will learn how to take the fifth P of people into account, which includes your readers and yourself. Follow this advice to evaluate your book as a product, its price, its distribution, its promotion, its readers, and yourself to provide the best chance of selling and helping you to meet your goals.

Stop Overthinking

Summary

Do you want to learn how to stop negative thinking, reduce anxiety and stress, and use the power of positive thinking to help your body and your brain to live happily? If yes, then keep listening…. When we overthink in the hopes of gaining this elusive control, we may start to find ourselves in a worse off spot than that we began from. This is because overthinking as a trait is very good at tricking us into feeling worse about a situation than we should. Our thoughts go from being focused on solving a problem to worrying about other issues that are unconnected, and our mind becomes a torrent of "what if", "how is", and the why's. Instead of simply accepting that perhaps we have no control over the situation, distress likes to rear up when we start behaving like this: We begin to spend all our time worrying in our heads about some nebulous threats that are abstract and hard to pin down. We lose sleep which then ends up furthering our negative mental state. This book gives a comprehensive guide on the following: What is overthinking? Differences between overthinking and anxiety Symptoms of overthinking How to stop negative thinking Symptoms of addiction and tips for effective goal setting Reduce stress in the workplace How to declutter your mind and positive effects What is mindfulness? A simple guide and techniques on meditation and its benefits How to stop overthinking And more! People who overthink can find themselves in many different social situations where they begin to spend an inordinate amount of time worrying about every little interaction they have and how people begin to think of them. This can prove to be extremely damaging as instead of just being our true selves we begin we begin to try to tailor ourselves to the unchained ideas that we have in our mind. The first point, to begin with, is how our modern age makes overthinking easier to do than ever. Our lives are not how they were thousands of years ago where fears were very real, and much more well-defined than “I'm stressed over exams.” Back then, our concerns dealt more with finding food, avoiding the warring tribe next to us , or getting the hell out of Dodge when we find ourselves face to face with a lion that thinks we may make a good snack.   This is where overthinking can begin to become a negative habit. Think of it like this: You begin your day by going to work spending your whole thought process towards trying to get that raise or promotion. Then you get home and what you know is that your mind is still racing about it, and you find yourself staring at the ceiling wondering what will happen if you attain that goal that you want to get or if it will simply fall flat and not become anything . Then you get up and do the same thing again. What are you waiting for? Click buy now!
