The Assertiveness Guide for Women
Summary
Isn't it time you took a stand? Many women struggle with assertiveness, but if you're prone to anxiety and avoidance, it is especially difficult. Grounded in attachment theory, this essential guide will help you identify your thoughts and feelings, balance your emotions, communicate your needs, and set healthy boundaries to improve your life. When you're assertive, you're able to communicate your needs and wishes clearly while respecting yourself and anyone else involved in the interaction. But when you aren't assertive, you may stop yourself from saying anything when your needs aren't being met, or end up lashing out in hostile or hurtful ways. People with different attachment styles struggle with being assertive for different reasons, and even women with a secure attachment style may have difficulty expressing emotion when faced with challenging circumstances. Using strategies based in mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), The Assertiveness Guide for Women can help you understand the attachment styles that keep you from asserting yourself. You'll learn about the three communication stances - from the passive Doormat to the aggressive (or passive-aggressive) Sword to the assertive Lantern - and find practical examples that show you how to apply your new communication and emotional awareness skills in your own life. Rather than being caught in a cycle of rumination and regret when you're unable to express yourself or even acknowledge your own needs, you'll be ready to assert yourself and get what you want. Whether you're anxious and overwhelmed by the intensity of your emotions, avoidant and struggle to identify your emotions, or otherwise have difficulty expressing yourself, this book will help you become more aware of your own thoughts and feelings, and empower you to ask for what you need, set boundaries, and speak your truth for a more fulfilling life.

Rebuilding After the Storm
Summary
Tina Swithin's life was hit by a devastating storm in 2009. Tina had recently heard the words narcissistic personality disorder used to describe her then-husband by a therapist, yet she had no real understanding of how this disorder would turn her life upside down during a custody battle that spanned six years.

In family court, Tina acted as her own attorney and finally, in 2014, secured peace and safety for her young daughters.

Tina has found solace in sharing her internationally recognized story with others in her series, Divorcing a Narcissist. She has dedicated her life to advocacy and consulting with others facing the same battles. In her new book, Rebuilding After the Storm, Tina takes her listeners through the steps to rebuild their lives and thrive postnarcissist. Dr. Craig Malkin, psychology instructor at Harvard Medical School, states, "If you need to start over, this is the woman you want holding your hand through the process."

The Narc Decoder: Understanding the Language of the Narcissist
Summary
Divorcing a narcissist? You are probably left feeling baffled and shaken by the communication that you receive from the narcissist. In my mid-20s, I contemplated learning multiple foreign languages. I envisioned dabbling in French to successfully make my way around Paris or Irish Gaelic to explore the rich history of Ireland along with my deep ancestral roots in that country. My day dreams about learning new languages always went hand in hand with the imagery of world travel. The thought of exploring exotic and old world places far away from home intrigued me. My mind summoned several foreign adventures, but never did I think I would need to learn a foreign language to navigate my own life. In 2008, I heard the words, "Narcissistic Personality Disorder" (NPD) to describe my then-husband, Seth. It took a couple years for the reality of those three little words to really sink in. Looking back, the red flags had been waving in the wind since our very first date. Those flags grew taller and more vibrant in color during our marriage. As it turns out, those same red flags that had been lining my path for years were dipped in a highly flammable mixture of kerosene. I realized the danger only when they exploded near the end of my marriage. Like any unexpected explosion, I was unprepared and left nursing deep, emotional, third-degree burns. In my research, I discovered a new language which took quite a bit of studying and insight on NPD to understand. As it turns out, the reason that I was so bewildered by Seth's communication style was that we were speaking completely different languages. I spoke the English version of "human" while he was speaking the non-human, "Narc-ish". I am convinced there is a Narc-ish dictionary or manual hidden deep in a dark, musty hole somewhere in a faraway land with step-by-step instructions on how to inflict fear, confusion and despair. From this land, narcissists hail.

The Death of Hypatia and the End of Fate
Summary
In this historical essay, freelance writer Gerald Everett Jones correlates the few details known about the death of the last Greek-speaking philosopher with the religious and political revolution that overtook her. Jones explains how, centuries earlier, Egyptian priest Manetho and Greek mystic Timotheus created the cult of Sarapis at the behest of Pharaoh Ptolemy Soter. Hypatia's identification with this religion got her killed and her works suppressed, but the philosophy today's scholars call Hellenic Neoplatonism was rediscovered in the Renaissance and then again in the New Age.

Necessary Evil
Summary
Multi-award winning, New York Times bestselling author Janelle Taylor brings you a psychological thriller that will shock and enthrall you with its intensity as she takes you into the darkest regions of revenge and retribution. When Justice is blind and helpless, a merciless and cunning vigilante steps in and becomes a necessary evil, one willing to go to any lengths to punish the guilty. It is “a mix of police procedural, mystery, thriller, and horror.” 1990 - Augusta, Georgia The public and media want to know, is there a serial killer on the prowl? Or is someone just yanking the blindfold off Lady Justice? Who is stepping in as judge, jury, and executioner when criminals escape punishment for horrendous deeds? Is a hero or a villain at work in the Garden City? “The Bible says, ‘If men strive, and hurt a woman...he shall be punished. Thou shalt give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.’ I say, Heaven and victims raged as another beast was set free. Taking an eye for an eye was left up to me. If Justice is blind or her hands are bound, Rejoice, Good Citizens, for I am around.” A note left behind at a grisly crime scene was signed "The Avenger". Now, the grim stalker had a revealing name and motive, and Lt. Dan Mallory and his squad had to stop him from avenging heinous crimes against women. But the lethal predator proved to be smarter and more deadly than any killer they had ever tracked. No clues. No forensics. Nothing- but a trail of mutilated bodies of men the courts had released on technicalities or loopholes in the legal system. Were the male victims connected? Were they really victims or just finally paying for their past violent crimes? The list of suspects kept changing; and the list of possible prey was long. Crime reporter James Starr knew more than he should about the avenger and his victims. And Starr also knew more than he should about Mallory’s precarious past. Warning: this book with its graphic contents and language is for mature audiences only. Gritty. Dark. Spell-binding. Sinister. Intense. Not for the faint of heart. Necessary Evil is a book that will make your heart pound - and compel you to check the locks on your doors and windows. Also included are excerpts of forthcoming Unnecessary Evil and Dangerous Deceptions.
