This was an unexpected debut of the poetry collection of the newcomer Karsten Colbert.
In this collection, Karsten finds himself asking the important question of why. Why do we live? Why do we die? Why do we love? Why do we experience hate? In his journey of questioning why, Karsten has come to realize that life, love, and everything in between is unexpected and that you never know what tomorrow truly brings.
Athlete Unleashed
Back Cover
We all have two roads upon which we can choose. The first road is to allow our limiting beliefs such as fear, anger, and doubt to shackle us and hinder our ability to achieve our true desires in life. Athlete Unleashed helps you navigate the second road, which allows you to break free from those shackles, find your passion, and gives you the steps to unleash your best inner athlete!
Back when I was a high school baseball player, guidance and strength training for high school sports was not too advanced. The unfortunate truth is that for current athletes, the training practices have not advanced much. Current training practices are little better than general run-of-the-mill fitness for most of our athletes, and they deserve better. They deserve a program that allows them the chance to compete at the highest level they desire, while achieving peak health and fitness.
Whether you are attempting to make the team, or you are ready to achieve your next level of athletics, this is the book for you. Athlete Unleashed helps guide you to find your passion while guiding you in addressing the key components to become more successful. These components include developing the proper mindset, balancing your work effort with the appropriate recovery, specific nourishment for your needs, the right movement for your success, the steps for injury prevention, recovery from injury, and the planning for your season—as well as your future!
Chico is Not an Ordinary Dog
The adventures of a bit unusual dog growing up in Abruzzo Italy. Some events are romanticized or exaggerated. The aim is to amuse the reader and incidentally teach just a little.
My Biggest Sin Loving Hugo My Truths
The reason behind the title of my book, My Biggest Sin—Loving Hugo: My Truth! is to let people know that it could be possible that a young girl could fall in love by herself without the other party being aware of it. That happened to me. This guy, to be honest, didn’t like me whatsoever. Maybe because I was so young. He never even looked at me, but what I felt every time I saw him was incredible. I don’t want to give the wrong message. People need to know that if you fall in love with them, wish I told him in the letter. I just need to say what I feel for him, that I love him, but I respected his choices and wishes. I wasn’t one of them. Loving people is respecting their opinion and accepting what they feel is best for them. I learned to move on even though I loved him deeply. I strongly feel that if you insist, all you do is make things worse. If something is for you, then it is going to happen with time, not because you force it. I wrote this title because I was only thirteen when I fell in love with him, and he has inspired me to write my story. I want to tell everyone what happened.
The Best Man
Back Cover
Alex Benson has been in love with her brother’s best friend, Chase Mathews, for as long as she can remember. They have always had a connection but kept each other at arm’s length, but after Chase’s grand opening of his nightclub, H2O, they finally have a moment of passion that is long overdue. But her brother, Nick, unknowingly interrupts them, and all is ignored until three years later when Nick marries his college girlfriend, Lisa. Once they arrive at the beautiful vineyard for the wedding, they discover that there has been a mix-up with the room reservations, and Chase and Alex are forced to share a suite where their attraction for one another becomes too hard to resist. They allow themselves to give into temptation, not realizing that all the obstacles they’ve put between them over the years isn’t the only thing that could keep them from their happily ever after. Chase’s troubled past is still finding its way into his present and keeping his love for Alex hidden under a layer of hurt that his father placed there as a child. Will Alex and Chase be able to overcome his haunted past, or will it break them and not only ruin any chance of a real relationship between them but their friendship as well?
Hindsight: The Unraveling Effects of Addiction
This is the compelling story of one family’s devastating struggles through addiction—the seemly white picket fence family’s downfall. It takes you through “typical” teenage underage drinking and house parties, following the misuse of recreational drugs that lead to major accidents, arrests, and tragedy. What should have been a successful happy family’s future became a life of addiction, depression, and lies that all lead to the destruction of one family.
Ryan and Matt, twin brothers, were your all-American boys. Some would say everything going for them—good looks, smart, athletic, and musically gifted. On the outside they had it all, but on the inside, they both had a dark secret hidden from everyone that led them both down a black hole.
The book talks about a mother’s and daughter’s journey to help her sons and brothers get the help they needed. Fighting every step of the way in a world that stigmatizes against addiction, which has very limited resources and treatment.

Surrogate Warfare
Surrogate Warfare explores the emerging phenomenon of “surrogate warfare” in twenty-first century conflict. The popular notion of war is that it is fought en masse by the people of one side versus the other. But the reality today is that both state and non-state actors are increasingly looking to shift the burdens of war to surrogates. Surrogate warfare describes a patron's outsourcing of the strategic, operational, or tactical burdens of warfare, in whole or in part, to human and/or technological substitutes in order to minimize the costs of war. This phenomenon ranges from arming rebel groups, to the use of armed drones, to cyber propaganda. Krieg and Rickli bring old, related practices such as war by mercenary or proxy under this new overarching concept. Apart from analyzing the underlying sociopolitical drivers that trigger patrons to substitute or supplement military action, this book looks at the intrinsic trade-offs between substitutions and control that shapes the relationship between patron and surrogate. Surrogate Warfare will be essential reading for anyone studying contemporary conflict.

Cruelty has long been a feature of states’ domestic and foreign policies but is seldom acknowledged. Governments mouth respect for human rights yet promote discrimination, violence and suppression of critics. Documenting case studies from around the world, distinguished academic and human rights activist Stuart Rees exposes politicians’ cruel motives and the resulting outcomes. Using his first-hand observations and insights from international poets, he argues for courageous action to support non-violence in every aspect of public and private life for the survival of people, animals and the planet.
