Have you ever wondered what it is like to experience the chaos and devastation of war?
Lessons from Iraq is a deeply moving memoir that will give a raw glimpse into chaos of wars. This book will open your eyes to some of the heartbreaking moments in a human life. Through the eyes of Mike Kubista, witness the tragedy of conflict and gain a deeper understanding of the complex political and historical factors that contribute to ignite these events.
Iraq was a strange war in that so few members of the American population were actually affected by it. Soldiers went to war while kids back home played video games of the same battles men were fighting. Many Americans knew people who served, but it was a relative few who went back again and again while society rapidly moved ahead back home like nothing was happening. War creates gaps between those who experience it and those who don’t. Lessons from Iraq closes some of those gaps. Mike Kubista was a young Marine machine gunner sent in from the very beginning. His stories put you in place, let you walk along the chaos, and feel the world through his eyes.
Part of this book is also about giving people context. There are a few common stories told about Iraq and what happened there, but never from people who were actually there. Mike weaves in the history, politics, and decisions made that ultimately led to the destruction of so many lives even as Iraq was on the verge of electing its first non-sectarian government. This is the story about how it all fell apart. $1.99 on Kindle.

When her husband leaves her on her 40th birthday, only hours after radical surgery to cure her “incurable” disease, Kat Finnerty’s world is shattered.
But then something remarkable happens. She overcomes his betrayal in 12 hours. It’s almost as if her absurd, disaster-prone life has been arming her with the superpowers to master her disaster.
So begins Kat’s astonishing and inspiring true story.

She sets out on a high-stakes adventure to squeeze more meaning and purpose from her life, only to be cruelly struck down at 24 by a crippling disease.
Kat contemplates the unthinkable. Until fate intervenes in the form of a tattooed Maori Buddhist teacher, an unorthodox Canadian yoga guru and a Zen motorbike-riding spiritual renegade. They open her eyes to the truth about suffering.
And this changes everything.
Just like the pieces of a giant jigsaw puzzle, the lessons from Kat’s catastrophes slot into place to reveal the bigger picture. She transforms herself into a master of disaster and ultimately cures her “incurable” disease.
Infused with humour and the wisdom of Buddhist and Stoic philosophy, this life-changing memoir will move, inspire and empower you to never let a good disaster go to waste. $0.99 on Kindle.

Swept off her feet by deviant, narcissistic bad boy, Tim, a young Sinead is sucked into an abusive marriage with little hope of escape. A chance encounter offers her a new life of glitz and glamour, but it’s not all it seems. Plunged into a world of adult entertainment, she finds herself in the heart of the UK glamour modelling industry.
From lads’ mags to lap-dancing, webcamming to fetish filmmaking, our unlikely working-class heroine leaves no stone unturned, meeting some unsavoury and kinky characters along the way. Miss.

Faced with one final test of integrity, will Sinead be tempted by the road that leads to ruin and regret, or choose the path to respectability and romance?
