She No Name

      

She 

No Name

By Cheryl Knoll

What if the deepest rupture in a life is not meant to destroy identity, but to strip it bare?

She No Name inhabits the charged space between heartbreak and awakening. It begins with a woman undone by an emotional bond she cannot explain, then follows her into a private landscape of obsession, insomnia, spiritual unrest, and memory. The book does not move like a conventional narrative. It drifts through prose reflections, meditations, and poems, letting the reader experience the collapse of an old self in fragments, flashes, and emotional aftershocks.

Its world is intensely interior, but never abstract. Gardens, trees, smoke, fire, wings, stillness, and light recur like landmarks in an inner geography. A woman stands in the ashes of her former life. Solitude becomes not exile, but shelter. Forgiveness is reframed as recalibration. Even the title suggests a threshold state: a self no longer willing to be fully defined by the given name, the old wounds, or the version of womanhood handed to her by others.

The emotional stakes are not simply romantic. Beneath the book’s spiritual language runs a deeper current of buried trauma, unmet longing, and the exhausting habit of locating worth outside the self. As the pages unfold, the central tension becomes clear: what happens when the identities formed through pain, rejection, desire, and approval begin to fall away? What remains when the search turns inward instead of outward?

That is where She No Name finds its pulse. This is a book of unraveling, but also of return. It enters the dark terrain of spiritual disillusionment and emerges with a vision of inner divinity, not as abstraction, but as lived survival. The result is a work that treats awakening not as serenity from the start, but as a painful, transformative passage through fire, memory, and self-reckoning.

To awaken is not to find someone else—it is to finally stand whole within your own soul.

God Made Me from Spare Parts: Modern Parables for Old Souls

    

God Made Me from Spare Parts:

Modern Parables for Old Souls

God Made Me from Spare Parts is a collection of whimsical, modern parables that unfold between dream and reality—where spiritual fiction meets emotional truth, and answers rarely arrive as expected. 

A troubled narrator calls out to God for guidance and meets a disarmingly human deity who reframes mortality, self-worth, and distress with warmth and unexpected humor.

A God who laughs.

A God who crashed his plane when he was young.

A God who doesn’t fix everything, but sits beside you.

Written while grieving his father's death and stranded far from home, each of Tji’s parables offers a short meditation on fear, love, loss, faith, and the struggles of everyday life. With touching stories and striking illustrations, the book invites readers to pause, reflect, and see their own lives with refreshed compassion and clarity.

Ideal for spiritual seekers, contemplative readers, and anyone looking for encouraging inspiration, God Made Me from Spare Parts is a true companion for healing and renewal.

Cipher: A Proven Framework to Hire the Best People

    

Cipher:

A Proven Framework to Hire the Best People

Nearly half of new hires fail within 18 months. That’s not a “people problem”—it’s a process problem. Most hiring still runs on gut feel, vague job descriptions, and unstructured interviews—an approach with odds worse than a coin toss. The cost shows up fast: wasted time, lost money, and a team that can’t deliver. For 15 years, Craig della Penna has helped leaders hire with clarity and rigor using his proprietary HireBest® system resulting in better hiring decisions, reduced attrition, and less time wasted in extraneous interviews. The key component of that system is the Cipher®, a simple, powerful framework that defines what success must look like before you meet a single candidate. It distills any role into four essentials: Charge, Outcome, Deliverables, and Efforts so everyone evaluates talent against the same standard. In this practical, step-by-step guide, you’ll learn how to build and use Ciphers to help: • Replace hiring based on gut feel with a structured, repeatable hiring system • Reduce bias by anchoring interviews to what truly predicts performance • Compare candidates consistently based on data-rich perspectives • Hire better, onboard faster, and coach performance using one framework If you hire or your business depends on hiring, stop gambling with your most important asset. Learn the clear, teachable framework that improves decision quality and hiring outcomes. It’s time to HireBest.

The Deal Zombie Chronicles

  

The Last Sanctuary of the Living:

Book One: The Deal Zombie Chronicles

When the world drowned in blood and silence, the coast became a fortress.

Sydney Carter never asked to lead. But in the shattered remnants of Deal and Walmer, leadership is the difference between hope and extinction. As the undead choke the countryside and new human predators rise from the ruins, Sydney must rally survivors who’ve already lost everything — and face the ruthless tyrant holding Dover Castle.

From the salt-bitten cliffs to tunnels soaked in ash and gunfire, The Last Sanctuary of the Living follows the fight to reclaim a fragment of humanity in a world gone feral. Bonds will break, kingdoms will burn, and the living will prove every bit as dangerous as the dead.

Gritty, visceral, and deeply human, this is the first chapter of The Deal Zombie Chronicles — where survival isn’t victory, it’s the beginning of the reckoning.

Sanctuary at Sea: Book two: The Deal Zombie Chronicles

The ferry was meant to be salvation.
Instead, it became a target.

Fleeing the fallen shores of England, Sydney and the survivors of Deal believed the sea would keep them safe. But sanctuary is never empty for long. When a ruthless warship begins hunting the Channel, the living are forced to confront an enemy far more dangerous than the dead.

As alliances fracture and loyalties are tested, Sydney must lead his people toward a last refuge—an island scarred by war and haunted by silence. Beneath its stone and tunnels, a desperate stand is prepared. Traps are laid. Lines are drawn. And sacrifices are made that can never be undone.

But some threats cannot be outrun.
Some men do not stop hunting.

When the dead mass at the gates and the living turn on one another, survival will demand more than courage. It will demand blood.

The sea offers no mercy. The war for the living has begun.

Tech Equity: Freedom Through Enabling Technology:

     

Tech Equity: Freedom Through Enabling Technology:

A Dream Officer's Playbook for Tech Equity in Disability and Aging Services

by Precious "Preciosa" Myers-Brown

What does freedom actually look like for someone who has been told what they cannot do their whole life?

That question lives at the heart of Tech Equity: Freedom Through Enabling Technology by Precious "Preciosa" Myers-Brown. It is a book about what becomes possible when a whole community -- providers, families, Direct Support Professionals, policymakers, and the people being served -- decides that the way things have always been done is not good enough anymore.

The care system we are working inside was built in the 80s, way before we had the tools we have today. Imagine finding a pager from that era and thinking it still works -- then spending years looking for the payphone you need to go with it. We honor what was built with what we had. And now it is time for all of us to move forward together.

This is not a book about technology replacing people. It is about technology giving people back their time, their dignity, and their choices -- and giving the communities around them the tools to actually support that. DSPs who are burned out. Families who are exhausted. People with disabilities who deserve more than a system running on assumptions from 40 years ago. The blueprint is here. The community that changes this already exists. This book is for all of you.

The Fall of Two Houses

Disclaimer: reading may require spiritual cleansing and other purification rituals. What would you sacrifice to keep your kingdom alive? In the Land of Dreams, light means life, tradition is law, and power is bought with blood. As Lord Crushma faces his own slow death, he races to secure his legacy before enemies close in and darkness swallows the Westlands. His solution is a political marriage, but his only heir is unfit to rule, his allies are corrupt, and every choice threatens to damn the realm he's trying to save. His most dangerous option is an ambitious Count, brilliant at starting conflicts and catastrophic at ending them. To refuse her may doom the Westlands. To accept her may ensure its destruction. The alternative is a young girl not nearly old enough to be courted, and Crushma must choose between the lesser of two evils.

Kriegsmarine

  

Kriegsmarine 

By Ralph L. Myers

What if the most dangerous battlefield is not the Atlantic, but the bond between two boys whose lives are destined to meet on opposite sides of war?

Kriegsmarine opens not with battle, but with memory: an older Gerhardt “Gerry” Kroner returns to his childhood home in Hartzstein, Pennsylvania, and the house itself becomes a portal. Every room, smell, and object pulls him backward into a German American boyhood shaped by immigrant families, strict parents, and the fierce, almost inseparable friendship he shared with Karl Schuour. Their small-town world is vivid with autumn streets, schoolyard competitions, bicycles, swings, and the constant need to outdo one another—a rivalry the story makes clear will become both “a blessing - and a curse.”

From there, the novel expands into something much larger than nostalgia. Gerry and Karl grow up, follow different paths, and are carried into World War II, with Gerry serving in the U.S. Navy and Karl drawn into Germany’s naval machine. The story’s emotional engine lies in that split. One boyhood friendship is stretched across nationality, loyalty, and history itself, until the competition of childhood becomes a deadly adult collision between commanders at sea. The book places Karl at the center of the German U-boat campaign as captain of U-53, while Gerry develops anti-submarine strategies for Allied convoys—turning memory, rivalry, and warfare into one continuous thread.

It carries some of the pressure-cooker tension associated with classic submarine war dramas, but its true pulse is personal. Karl is not framed as a simple emblem of the Reich; he is trapped inside a collapsing moral world, horrified by Nazi brutality and torn between duty, love, and conscience. That conflict sharpens when his wife and children become bound up in a desperate attempt to flee, and the war stops being abstract strategy and becomes a question of whether a man can remain human inside a machine built for obedience and destruction.

What makes Kriegsmarine matter is that it refuses to separate war from memory: the swing in the yard, the old house, the buried keepsakes, and the childhood dares all echo inside the sonar-dark waters of the Atlantic.

Sometimes history’s cruelest weapon is not hatred, but the way it turns love, loyalty, and friendship into opposing flags.

Queen of the Island: A True Story of France and The Early Settlement of Canada by Glenn Stewart Coles

  

Queen of the Island:

A True Story of France and The Early Settlement of Canada

by Glenn Stewart Coles

The true story of Margeurite Roberval (nicknamed Daisy) has been told for almost five hundred years. When eighteen-year-old Daisy is forced to sail from France to Canada in 1541, her secret lover gets a job as a settler and follows along. When their affair is discovered, Daisy, her lover and her handmaiden are abandoned on a remote island on the Saint Lawrence River. Facing brutal winters, starvation, predatory beasts, and despair, the three must summon courage, ingenuity, and unbreakable bonds to survive.

Meticulously researched, Queen of the Island plunges readers into the intrigues of Renaissance France. It unveils King Francis I’s hidden motives for sending Cartier westward, the royal court that sealed Daisy’s fate, her surprising influence among the powerful, and the astonishing events awaiting her upon an improbable return home.

MANUFACTURED MINDS: The Invisible Architecture of Algorithmic Control and the Art of Opting Out

  

MANUFACTURED MINDS:

The Invisible Architecture of Algorithmic Control and the Art of Opting Out

They didn't target your child's attention. They targeted the window before your child could defend it.

Internal documents unsealed in 2026 reveal how major platforms segment children by "age of acquisition" — tracking lifetime revenue projections that are three to five times higher for children captured before age ten. Their internal term for these children is not "users."

It is native integrations.

Your child wasn't exposed to the algorithm. Your child was installed by it. Before identity formed. Before the prefrontal cortex could push back. Before you knew there was a window — and that the window was closing.

Screen time limits don't work. The platforms' own suppressed research proves it: by month six, restrictions return usage to within five percent of baseline. The parental controls weren't built to protect your child. They were built to protect the platform from the appearance of not protecting your child.

Manufactured Minds gives you what the platforms spent billions making sure you'd never have:

• The truth about the "installation window" — and how to close it before the machine opens it
• Age-adapted protocols for every stage: Foundations (4–9), Awakening (10–13), Sovereignty (14–17)
• The Cognitive Immune System — the one capacity the algorithm's entire business model depends on your child never developing
• The Family Freedom Compass — a shared household tool that turns your liberation into theirs
• The Algorithm Spotter, the Choice Game, the Maker Hour, and the Identity Journal — practices that build minds the feed cannot predict

You started this book reaching for your phone. You will finish it reaching for your child's hand.

The platforms called your children native integrations.

This book turns them into native immunities.

K. R. Strand — Researcher, rebel, and survivor of the attention economy.

Your thoughts aren't yours anymore. They're predicted, shaped, and sold — every scroll, pause, and hesitation harvested to keep you hooked, divided, and compliant. Platforms don't recommend content. They engineer your reality. And they're terrified you'll notice. Manufactured Minds is the book that makes you notice — then hands you the escape keys.

THIS IS NOT ANOTHER BOOK ABOUT SCREEN TIME. Every chapter answers the question the previous one planted. Every exercise compounds. By the final page, you won't have merely read about opting out — you'll have performed your own escape.
