She Pirate's GOLD - The Vision

She Pirate’s GOLD – The Vision is a powerful true story that blends emotional transformation, real-world treasure hunting, and spiritual mystery into a cinematic journey unlike anything else in the market. After losing everything dear to her and watching her life collapse under the weight of heartbreak and psychological strain, Diana Patterson experiences a vivid vision of a ship at sea so real it refuses to let her go. With no plan, little money, and nothing left to lose, she follows an invisible thread of intuition from Michigan to the Caribbean, where a series of uncanny clues pulls her into the dangerous world of sailboat deliveries, shipwreck diving, and ultimately the historic discovery of Mel Fisher’s Spanish galleon treasure, the Nuestra Señora de Atocha. But beneath the maritime adventure lies a far deeper story. This is not simply about finding gold—it is about proving that the visions we carry inside us may be guiding us toward a destiny larger than ourselves. Combining the emotional awakening of Wild and Eat Pray Love with the cinematic scope of a true treasure-hunting epic, She Pirate’s GOLD – The Vision explores intuition, identity, survival, feminine transformation, and the hidden forces that shape our lives. Visually rich, emotionally raw, and spiritually provocative, it reads like a memoir written at the intersection of The Alchemist, National Treasure, and a real-life Caribbean odyssey.

Can't Find My Way Home 

(Those Damned Yankees)

Can’t Find My Way Home Recreates the Chaos and Human Cost of the American Revolution The American Revolution is often remembered through its ideals. Former U.S. Naval Officer Ray Deptula wants readers to experience it through its uncertainty, exhaustion and human cost — the same way they would any other conflict. “Ironically, the British experience in the American Revolution was strikingly similar to our own in Vietnam and even more recently in Afghanistan, where a superpower took on a woefully inferior foe and where expectation and actions of the government, the military and the people were not necessarily aligned,” Deptula said. His website https://raydeptulaauthor.com/ In Can’t Find My Way Home, the second installment in his Those Damned Yankees series, Deptula combines meticulous historical research with emotionally charged storytelling to recreate the Revolutionary War as it was lived by ordinary people caught inside extraordinary events. Rather than using history as a backdrop, Deptula immerses readers in the actual sequence of Revolutionary War battles, troop movements and political upheaval that shaped America’s founding, all the while tracing the story of a common soldier embroiled in, and at the mercy of, a chaos that challenges his ability to survive.

Spread Game: The Federal Prison Cookbook:

100+ Microwave Masterpieces from the Commissary List

The realest cookbook ever written — because it had to be.

In 2013, Justin Smith was indicted on a federal drug conspiracy charge. He served five years. This book is what he built with them.

Inside a federal housing unit, the chow hall keeps you alive — but the microwave keeps you human. SPREAD GAME is the complete cuisine of the American federal prison system: 103 tested recipes made entirely from commissary items and a single microwave, compiled with real BOP commissary lists and organized the way a cook thinks, not the way the order form prints.

Inside you'll find:

• The master commissary list, decoded — the federal pantry by category with real prices, plus the $60 starter pantry

• Technique that changes everything — hot-water-bath cooking, the chip-bag cooker, micro-frying, the cookie-tray bakery, the mayo sear

• The Spread — the communal build-out meal, from The Standard to the eight-man Birthday Spread

• The legendary Mackerel Patty Sandwich — the exact recipe that fed all of B Unit, and the sandwich-business playbook that came with it

• No-oven desserts that defy belief — two full cheesecake builds, cookie-tray brownies, two-minute fudge, and the Visitation Cake

• A full-page photo for every single recipe — 103 dishes shot in the gritty, mouthwatering style of the yard

Written in a voice as real as the yard and clean enough to gift, SPREAD GAME is for currently and formerly incarcerated cooks, the families who fill their commissary accounts, true-crime readers, dorm-room chefs, and anyone who's ever had to make something from nothing.

You don't need an oven. You need a microwave, a list, and the game.

The Bergman-Schuour Destiny

  

The Bergman-Schuour Destiny 

by Ralph L. Myers 

“Can hatred ever be truly dismantled by the bonds of shared humanity?”

Set against the sweeping backdrop of European history — from the muddy roads of 18th-century Ukraine to the shadow of the Holocaust. This ambitious work of historical fiction follows two families across generations, asking a question that feels as urgent today as it did a hundred years ago

The novel opens with a vivid, almost visceral image: Miriam and Aaron Giessel, Jewish peasants fleeing Ukraine under Catherine II's brutal Pale of Settlement decree, hauling a cart through torrential rain and deep mud, their worldly possessions balanced against an uncertain future. From that first page, Myers establishes his dual gift — a novelist's instinct for rich, grounded storytelling and a historian's fidelity to the documented reality of Jewish life in Europe. The early chapters move with the rhythm of displacement, tracing the Bergman family from Poland to Prussia, through riots and decrees, as each generation dares to hope they have finally found a country that will accept them.

That country, eventually, is Germany — and Ralph renders the cruel irony of that choice with extraordinary care. German-Jewish communities-built lives, opened businesses, served in wars, and contributed to culture and commerce, only to find that belonging, in the end, would be revoked. Running parallel to the Bergman story is the Schuour family: aristocratic, Prussian, privileged — and, crucially, not indifferent. The intersection of these two worlds forms the novel's moral and emotional core.

What sets The Bergman-Schuour Destiny apart from more straightforward Holocaust narratives is its timeframe. By beginning in the 1700s, Ralph allows readers to understand the Holocaust not as a sudden eruption but as the culmination of centuries of expulsion, adaptation, and resilience. Readers witness history not as footnotes but as lived experience — arguments in Yiddish, letters written by candlelight, mothers praying for sons they may never see again.

The novel also carries a quietly powerful message: that within societies defined by prejudice, individuals have always existed who chose differently. The Schuours represent that possibility — the road not taken by a nation.

For readers drawn to multigenerational sagas, Jewish history, or narratives that grapple honestly with the roots of hatred and the persistence of hope, this is a book that rewards patience and reflection in equal measure.
