'Unshaken: Navigating Jealousy in the Social Media Age' is a compelling narrative set against the backdrop of modern society's obsession with online personas. The story unfolds through the lives of six women, divided into two trios: one of success and privilege, the other of struggle and envy.
**The Successful Trio** comprises Ava, a business owner balancing family and work; Bella, a corporate executive facing peer jealousy; and Clara, living a carefree, luxurious life. Their achievements and lifestyles are a constant source of envy, as depicted on social media. Despite their success, they grapple with the pressures and scrutiny of their online images.
**The Struggling Trio** features Diana, enduring an abusive marriage to a man working for Ava; Eva, whose life is marred by her husband's gambling and infidelity; and Fiona, caught in a cycle of abusive relationships, struggling to provide for her children. These women are consumed by envy and resentment towards the successful trio, fuelled by the idyllic lives they witness on social media.
The novel's narrative arc weaves these contrasting lives into a story of jealousy, perception, and resilience. The successful trio's challenges reveal the imperfections behind their seemingly flawless social media facades. Simultaneously, the struggling trio's journey through envy leads to moments of self-reflection and a harsh confrontation with reality.
As the story progresses, each character faces pivotal moments leading to self-realization. The novel highlights the destructive nature of jealousy and the distorted perceptions driven by social media. It underscores the importance of empathy, understanding, and the strength required to remain 'unshaken' in a world where online and offline realities often diverge."

With the Canadian Triple Crown on the line, the quirky little filly, Chique is back to her old tricks. A failed bid leaves her with a loss to avenge, and Nate talks Liv into the Woodbine Mile — a Breeders’ Cup “Win and You're In” race. Go big or go home, right?
Except his big might backfire on him, when it earns him an invite to ride in California for the winter — but an injury derails any Breeders’ Cup California dreaming for Chique. Worse yet, he’s left feeling he has to prove his worth to Liv by going — then doesn’t exactly set the world on fire at Santa Anita.
Liv knows horses, not people. She’s new to this whole relationship thing. Pushing Nate to go seemed like the right thing to do — even though she’s taking Chique to Florida to rest and recuperate. If she and Nate are meant to be, spending the winter with a continent between them shouldn’t be a problem, should it?
Surviving the winter from hell is only the first hurdle their fledgling relationship has to endure. Their passion for the sport of kings and the love of the horses at its heart might end up being what drives them apart.
Perfect for ages 14 & up and fans who grew up with the Black Stallion series, the Thoroughbred series, Seabiscuit, and Secretariat."

"The city of Kolobrzeg, located in Poland on the Bearing Sea coast, is a relatively small city of about 50,000 people.
It is also home to Pauli Zukowski, the popular owner of the Zukowski Candy Store, and a newer business called the Polish Popcorn Company.
His understanding of chemistry and experimentation allowed him to create some unique candy and popcorn assortments and the businesses grew due to his ingenuity.
One day, reading a chemistry newsletter, he read an article describing how explosive companies used a trace chemical in their products. Being able to identify the trace chemical allowed law enforcement to investigate any explosive incident to identify the manufacturer.
Pauli wondered if he could develop a way of eliminating the trace material and he wondered if he could earn money selling his knowledge without any awareness of the legality of his actions.
He realized by eliminating the trace detection; he would be supporting the evil portions of society to harm others. This did not faze him. His objective was to achieve notoriety regardless of the human cost to society.
After many assignations, Interpol with the help of the CIA, worked hard to find him and stop his production of killing materials.
A long and exciting story awaits the reader."
