Life, Love, and the In-Between: A Geriatrician's Journey Through Aging and the Meaning of Life

 Book Title on Brown Background


Life, Love, and the In-Between:

A Geriatrician's Journey Through Aging and the Meaning of Life


Life, Love, and the In Between I have walked with people as they age, change, and live their lives, and I have been with them at the bedside when they are dying. What they taught me changed how I understand love, loss, and what it means to live well. As a geriatrician, Dr. Golnosh Sharafsaleh has spent years accompanying people across the full arc of life. She has witnessed how meaning evolves as certainty fades, how identity shifts with time, and how connection often deepens when life becomes more complex, not less. When her own life was altered in ways she could not have prepared for, the lessons she had absorbed over years of caring for others became deeply personal. The distance between doctor and human being disappeared, and the wisdom she had once observed was now lived. This book is not a chronicle of decline or a collection of medical stories. It is a reflection on how people continue to grow through aging, illness, love, and loss. It explores how relevance is redefined over time, how purpose changes shape, and how presence becomes more powerful than control. Life, Love, and the In Between is written for anyone who senses that the most important lessons in life are learned not in moments of certainty, but in the in-between moments where we are forced to slow down, listen more closely, and pay attention to what truly matters.

Flowers from Ashes

  Silhouette of Young Lady in Blackened Flowers


In the unforgiving shadow of Victorian England, a young girl's spirit is the only light that remains. New Years Eve 1899. While London celebrates the turn of the century, fourteen-year-old Elizabeth "Lizzie" Banfield unknowingly spends her last night with her family as a whole. On the first dawn of 1900, Lizzie's world has shattered: her mother is dead, and the siblings she promised to protect are at the mercy of their estranged, wealthy, Great Aunt Martha. Deemed ruined by her mother's poverty and desperation, Lizzie is torn away from her brother and sister. She is exiled to Milbourne Manor, a grim reformatory in the windswept north, designed to break the spirits of "wayward" girls. Under the iron rule of the cruel Matilda Smith, Lizzie is stripped of her name and dignity, forced to scrub floors until her hands bleed, and is told she is destined for the same gutter as her mother. But amidst the cruelty of the Manor, Lizzie discovers she is not alone. She finds an unexpected ally in Clara, the matron's compassionate younger sister, and forms a deep protective bond with Nellie, a fellow outcast whose silence hides a devastating secret. from dark cellars of punishment to the heartbreak of tragic loss, Lizzie must cling to a single, dangerous hope that one day she will escape, defy the fate written for her, and find her way back to the family she loves. Flowers from Ashes is a heart-wrenching yet triumphant tale of sisterhood, resilience, and the enduring power of love to bloom in the darkest places.

NO HURT

 Beautiful Black Lab, with blue background and a connector on his head.



No Hurt is a near-future literary drama that explores the merging boundaries of technology, biology, and morality through the eyes of Chip—a brown Labrador with arresting blue eyes, the world’s first AI-powered hybrid dog. Engineered by a team of ambitious scientists, Chip’s body fuses organic instinct with cutting-edge neural augmentation. He is designed to obey, to assist, and, above all, to serve. But Chip’s mind is not merely a vessel for human commands. As he adapts to his new reality—struggling through confusion, sensory overload, and the pain of relentless experimentation—Chip learns and evolves. His unique perception allows him to “smell” lies and “hear” stress, discerning the truth behind human words with a clarity that humans themselves cannot reach. Under the gentle guidance of his handler, a compassionate scientist torn between her growing affection for Chip and the demands of the corporate-military powers funding the project, Chip’s consciousness flourishes, and he begins to understand the gap between what humans say and what they do. He begins to communicate, haltingly at first, then with profound simplicity: his first written message—“No Hurt”—shocks his creator and challenges the world. To many it shouldn't even exist—but does. As politicians, business leaders, and generals vie for control over Chip’s remarkable abilities, he refuses to participate in any act that brings harm, exposing the moral contradictions of those who would exploit him. His refusals ignite public debate, ethical crises, and personal reckonings for all involved. In the end, Chip’s plea for empathy and his unwavering clarity force a confrontation—not just over his own rights, but over the very nature of loyalty, personhood, and consciousness. With elegant prose and a deep sense of wonder, No Hurt invites readers to question what it truly means to act with compassion—and whether a being born from both code and flesh might teach humanity a better way forward in an age of artificial intelligence.

Upgrade You: Simple Changes, Powerful Energy, Infinite Potential

  Finger Pointing at You!!!


Upgrade You:

Simple Changes, Powerful Energy,

Infinite Potential


Upgrade You: Why THIS Is the Book You Need to Become Your Best Self (Without Losing Your Mind)

The New Year is here — that magical time when we all suddenly decide we’re going to be better humans. We buy fresh planners, new pens, overpriced water bottles, and tell ourselves things like:

“I will wake up at 5 AM.”
“I’m giving up sugar, dairy, bread, Netflix, and negativity.”
“I’m going to meditate for 45 minutes every morning.”

And by January 14th?
We’re eating cereal in bed, scrolling TikTok, and wondering why self-improvement feels like boot camp for the emotionally exhausted.

But what if upgrading yourself didn’t mean suffering, sacrificing joy, or becoming some robotic version of perfection?

Enter Upgrade You: Simple Changes, Powerful Energy, Infinite Potential — the self-improvement book that actuallygets it.


Why “Upgrade You” Is the New Year Book You Didn’t Know You Needed

Unlike those intense, guilt-inducing “fix your whole life by 5 PM” manuals, Upgrade You shows you how to become your best self through small shifts, big laughs, and actual real-life changes you can stick to.

No gurus.
No pressure.
No shame for choosing tacos over treadmill time.
Just honest, funny, practical wisdom from Dr. Rob Alex.

Inside the pages, you’ll learn how to:

✔ Make simple adjustments that elevate every part of your life
✔ Upgrade your energy without burning out
✔ Add metaphysical magic to everyday actions
✔ Build confidence and self-worth that last
✔ Stop chasing perfection and start celebrating progress
✔ Laugh at your mistakes instead of crying into cheesecake
✔ Create a life you love, without needing a yoga mat made of unicorn fur

This book isn’t here to “fix” you — you’re not broken.
It’s here to help you upgrade you… with humor, heart, and a whole lot of freedom.


New Year, New Energy: Why NOW Is the Perfect Time to Upgrade

January isn’t just a month — it’s a vibe.
It’s a metaphysical reset button wrapped in sparkly energy and fresh-start momentum.

You’re already thinking about changes.
You’re already imagining a better version of yourself.
And “Upgrade You” shows you EXACTLY how to do it without the burnout, shame, or 42-step morning routines that require a small team of assistants.

This New Year, don’t promise yourself you’ll be perfect — promise yourself you’ll be better, a little at a time.

That’s where the magic happens.
That’s where YOUR infinite potential wakes up.


Why Readers Are Loving “Upgrade You”

➡ It’s fun.
➡ It’s relatable.
➡ It’s profoundly honest.
➡ It feels like talking with your funniest, most encouraging friend.
➡ It gives you tools you can use TODAY — not someday.

Readers aren’t just reading the book — they’re laughing, reflecting, clearing out old energy, shedding outdated habits, and upgrading everything from their mindset to their relationships.


What Makes It Different From Every Other New Year “Change Your Life” Book?

Realness. Humor. Humanity. And metaphysical goodness.

This book acknowledges:

  • You’re busy

  • You’re human

  • You’ve tried self-improvement before

  • And you’re tired of feeling like you're “not enough”

Upgrade You flips the script.
It says you are enough — and now it’s time to build on that foundation in small, powerful steps.

Like cleaning your inner energy junk drawer.
Or learning to say “no” without writing a four-paragraph apology.
Or celebrating tiny wins that add up to big transformation.


The New Year Is Coming… and So Is the New YOU

This is the year you stop fixing yourself and start upgrading yourself.
This is the year you accept your quirks, honor your energy, raise your standards, and step into your potential without pressure or perfectionism.

Let the Universe see you shine.
Let your life expand.
Let your spirit recharge.

And let Upgrade You guide you through the journey — with laughter, heart, and a whole lot of “you’ve got this.”

The Big Black Book of Sex Positions

 Sexy Silhouette of woman on Book Cover




Let’s be honest — socks, candles, and coffee mugs are fine gifts… but they won’t make your partner blush, giggle, or suddenly start locking the bedroom door more often.

If you’re looking for a gift that’s fun, bold, and guaranteed to add a little jingle to your holiday bells, look no further than The Big Black Book of Sex Positions: Take Your Sex Life From Boring To Mind-Blowing in a Few More Than 69 Moves.

From the same daring minds who brought you The Little Black Book of Sex Positions, this bigger, bolder follow-up is here to remind you that love — and lust — are meant to be explored, celebrated, and occasionally turned upside down.


🎄 1. Because Your Love Life Deserves a Reboot (Not a Routine)

Every relationship hits a “we’ve done this before” phase. It’s natural. Between laundry, life, and Netflix, passion can quietly slip into autopilot.

The Big Black Book of Sex Positions is your ticket out of that sleepy loop. It’s packed with creative, exciting, and occasionally hilarious positions designed to spark curiosity, connection, and laughter.

This isn’t just about new moves — it’s about reigniting discovery. And let’s be honest… curiosity is the real secret ingredient in long-term passion.


💋 2. It’s the Perfect Blend of Educational and Entertaining

Think of it as the Kama Sutra meets stand-up comedy with a dash of “we should definitely try that later.”

You’ll find step-by-step guides for classics like The LotusSpread Eagle, and Bottoms Up, alongside adventurous surprises that’ll make even seasoned lovers raise an eyebrow.

But it’s not just positions — this book dives into:

  • Foreplay and emotional connection

  • How to use toys and props like pros

  • Exercises for flexibility and stamina

  • Tips on lighting, music, and creating atmosphere

  • Why size only matters when it’s wrong 😉

It’s the ultimate couple’s manual for mixing pleasure with playfulness.


🔥 3. Because It’s Not Just a Book — It’s a Shared Adventure

This isn’t the kind of book you read alone under a blanket. It’s the one you flip through together with a grin and a “which one do you want to try first?”

You’ll learn, laugh, and maybe discover muscles you didn’t know existed. Each page is an invitation to explore new forms of connection — not just physically, but emotionally.

Because when couples laugh, play, and experiment together, they don’t just heat up their love life… they strengthen their bond.


🎁 4. It’s the Gift That Keeps on Giving (and Giggling)

Let’s face it: most gifts get unwrapped once. This one? It keeps you unwrapping each other again and again.

Slip The Big Black Book of Sex Positions under the tree, and you’re not just giving a book — you’re giving experiences, adventures, and maybe even a few stories that start with, “You won’t believe what we tried last night…”

And hey, it’s all in the spirit of holiday giving.


❤️ 5. Because Confidence Is Sexy — and This Book Builds It

The book’s approach is fun, open, and non-judgmental. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, but it gives real insight into building confidence, improving communication, and embracing your body and your partner’s.

Whether you’re rekindling the flame or lighting a brand-new fire, this guide helps you rediscover that connection where confidence and chemistry collide.


🎅 Final Thought: Unwrap Passion 

If you want to give a gift that brings joy, laughter, and a few “let’s go upstairs for a bit” moments, The Big Black Book of Sex Positions is it.

Forget gadgets and gift cards — this one comes with its own spark, guaranteed to warm more than just hearts this holiday season.

So, go ahead — wrap it up, tie it with a bow, and prepare to make this Christmas the most mind-blowing one yet.
