Everything I Thought I Knew

"A teenage girl wonders if she’s inherited more than just a heart from her donor in this compulsively readable debut. Seventeen-year-old Chloe had a plan: work hard, get good grades, and attend a top-tier college. But after she collapses during cross-country practice and is told that she needs a new heart, all her careful preparations are laid to waste. Eight months after her transplant, everything is different. Stuck in summer school with the underachievers, all she wants to do now is grab her surfboard and hit the waves—which is strange, because she wasn’t interested in surfing before her transplant. (It doesn’t hurt that her instructor, Kai, is seriously good-looking.) And that’s not all that’s strange. There’s also the vivid recurring nightmare about crashing a motorcycle in a tunnel and memories of people and places she doesn’t recognize. Is there something wrong with her head now, too, or is there another explanation for what she’s experiencing? As she searches for answers, and as her attraction to Kai intensifies, what she learns will lead her to question everything she thought she knew—about life, death, love, identity, and the true nature of reality."

Breath of Light: An Alcoholic's Spiritual Awakening and Journey to Self Discovery

"Breath of Light - An Alcoholic’s Spiritual Awakening and Journey to Self Discovery begins with the author’s spiritual awakening after struggling with his mental health and nearly committing suicide. After reaching the pinnacle of his life, Kyle Suhan felt hollow and empty, void of feeling or spiritual knowing. The desperation that he felt leads him to discovering a universal connection to the quantum field and Source consciousness. Kyle then leads the reader through a brief history of meaningful moments and traumas in his life as well as his experience with alcoholism and recovery. The text finishes with many channeled messages delivered through Archangels, written and spoken journal entries, positive affirmations and prayers meant to aid the reader in aligning and attuning to their most authentic highest version of themselves.  Kyle began channeling angels after his spiritual awakening. One morning, while in a transcendental meditative state, Kyle began writing prayers in his journal. These messages were coming through so quickly that he decided to start recording his daily sessions and listening to them over again in the evenings. It became quickly apparent that the voice that was coming through Kyle was not his own. These channeled messages were so profound that everything in Kyle’s life began to change. The ideas and messages conveyed speak to a higher truth that allows the individual reader to take control of their own lives and live for who they choose to be, rather than choosing to live a life that others have chosen for them."
