Many don’t understand the simplicity of earning income online. So I like to contrast it with spending online. As easy as it is to spend online, it’s almost in most cases that easy to also earn money, we just need to learn to do so. One of the most popular ways of course is freelancing. But there are many others as well for the different types of personalities. Whether you’re a tech person, a fashion person, a music person, an art person, and more, there’s room on the internet to make a living doing what you love, and depending on what you do with the information I give you, you can make as much as you choose to.

My review
Excellent guide for beginners.
This short book presents ten methods to start an online income stream. These ideas are flexible enough to do as a side hustle or to develop into a regular income. All the methods are explained in a very simple and lucid manner. The book is also structured very well. The author presents simple methods first and gradually increases the difficulty level towards the end. This way he ensures that every reader benefits from this book.
Another feature of this book is, it is a step by step guide. This is not a book that sells you some random money-making ideas. This is actually a complete actionable guide. At least this book will serve you the much-needed confidence to get right into online money-making. It is essentially a handy skill.
A book like this has much greater significance, especially in this post COVID era.

College professors and high school teachers may find them handy for preparing lectures and stimulating class debates. Psychologists and bibliotherapists may find them useful for therapy sessions.

Title: Wise Tales From the East: The Essential Collection
Author: Uri Kaplan
Pages: 64
My review
Wise tales from the East is a collection of forty-nine short stories selected from Buddhist, Daoist, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean folklore. Every story illustrates certain aspects of human thoughts and life. They deliver a unique message. The purpose of the story is to convey this message. They are the carriers of ancient wisdom.
Why they crafted these folklores and pass them through generations? Will it be easy if we convey the message as it is? The answer lies in the question itself. We often attracted to things that we don’t need. We are attracted to them because they are simply beautiful. Everybody likes to read and hear stories now and then. Stories serve as a relaxation in long continuous lectures. We are unknowingly attracted to them, because of their simplicity. Will there be any better way to convey age-old wisdom rather than embedding them in stories? They are better than thick philosophical textbooks. These stories are crafted only for fulfilling this purpose.
Through these forty-nine stories, the author has poured intangible spiritual wisdom to readers. You can’t simply read and go, once you opened this book. You will stay for a moment, lost in thoughts, after reading each one of these stories. They are so powerful. Many of these stories are framed thousands of years ago. They are still relevant. Because we humans have the same struggles and issues to overcome. That’s why they survive the time.
A must-read for everyone because these stories will add some values either to your life or to your work for sure.

My review
A story that will leave you with tears at the end.
What a story this is! A perfect portion of creativity blended with delicate human emotions. I don’t have any words to express the overwhelming feelings that I had after I turned the last page of this book. A perfectly heartwarming romantic drama. I must not tag this as a cliche romantic drama. It will be an injustice to the story and the beautiful storytelling efforts of the author.
Theodore “Teddy” Woven lives in his exceptionally large and vast ancestral home up high in the mountain across the sea. Sela is assigned to take care of Teddy’s garden in the absence of his usual gardner. Sela was cautious because she is instructed to leave the owner alone. But the behavior of Teddy towards Sela is telling otherwise. What is the mystery behind his unusual behavior? What are the secrets that he is keeping from her?
I can say that, this is a piece of art. The appreciation towards an art will be different for everyone. Because we experience that slice of creativity differently. No two emotions are the same. This story is like that emotion. First I thought that this will be a thriller because the author was building up mystery in the beginning. But as I delve into the life of Teddy, the darker side of his life is uncovered in front of me. It is darker because of his pain. When I realized the unimaginable pain that he tried to live with, it left my heart aching. Sela was the cure for his pain. He was waiting for her. Their love goes deep and beyond imagination. The author has conveyed these raw human emotions perfectly.
I highly recommend this book. Because this beautiful story deserves to heard.

Pages: 39
My review
Wanton Desires is a bundle of adult romance tales that slowly ascends to the forbidden sexual encounters. Justifying the title of the book, this is a saga of overcoming sexual inhibitions. All the stories are centering on the deep sexual desires of women. The stories broke every barrier you can ever imagine. They go overboard when comes to the matter of desire and fulfillment.
All the stories are different from one another. This gives a much-needed freshness to each story. You can even feel it in the first story itself. The intensity and extremeness of the sexual desires are unimaginable whether they are for keeping a marriage together to random pleasures.
Unlike in the “Secret Confessions of Naughty housewives” by the same author, these stories not necessarily revolves around bored housewives. They range from career-driven successful women to experimental college teens. This is the unique feature of these tales.
In this compendium of riddles originated by the author, the main purpose is to grow the understanding of those who read the words written in this book, and to exercise the wisdom of those who care to participate in the exercise

Title: Riddle, Riddle
Author: Eastwood Bempoh
Pages: 195 pages
My Review
This is a cleverly written collection of 101 riddles, meant to create an understanding rather than to impart knowledge. These 101 riddles are crafted in such a way that they challenge the readers. These are not meant to be read but to be solved. By solving them we will be able to build a greater understanding of them. The author also explains the difference between knowledge and understanding in the introduction. Most of us are hungry for knowledge because we know that it is the key to progress. But what we don’t know is, this key will not work if we don’t know how to use that knowledge. Here comes the role of understanding. To transform knowledge into wisdom, we must walk through the bridge of understanding. Riddles are meant to test our knowledge to develop an understanding of things.
What makes this book unique is its variations on riddles. All riddles are classified based on difficulty such as easy, intermediate, and difficult. Then in the contextual sense, they are classified into three, literal, metaphorical, and unirical. Also, a single riddle may have more than one section. First 51 riddles are classic ones with some changes to create understanding. The author encourages us to write our riddle too in this section. The second section consists of 50 riddles which are a step forward. Here we have to write the contextual meaning, difficulty level, and type of riddle. This test on riddles enables us to create them as our own.
Highly recommend this book if you are someone who likes to build an understanding from your acquired knowledge.

Title: Shaerlyn: Guardian of Eden Book 1 Angels of Zion saga
Author: Yaakov C Lui-Hyden
Pages: 141
My review
A true slice of creativity!
This is the story of Shaerlyn, a guardian angel wielding, flaming sword. She is tired of the war waging-destructive mindset of humankind and living her life in solitude for more than two hundred years. The immortal angel who was once guarded Eden is summoned once again by her King, for a new mission. A child will be born on the Earth, but his very own existence is threatened by demons. Shaerlyn is consumed by self-doubt because its been years that she touched her own sword. But she will do anything for HIM. She is determined to save this newborn. The path awaiting for Shaerlyn is not at all what she expected. The demons grew stronger than ever in her absence and she must find her courage and devotion to win over them.
The story presents an iconic protagonist Shaerlyn, the guardian angel in her astounding character. Although the author crafted all main characters as divine godly angels, they all have elements of human nature in their minds. They all are fighting because they want to prove their worthiness. They are fearing their impending fall if they lose a battle. So all battles are a do or die for them. The narration of fierce battles between angels and demons along with the wars in the Earth are breathtaking. The story kept me on the edge of the seat all the time. This is a perfectly crafted thriller in that sense.
The one idea that remains beyond this story is the catastrophic nature of wars. The history of mankind is inseparable from the history of wars. But these wars will ultimately lead humanity into the impending doom.
Written with a lively pace, plenty of action without being bogged down. A deliciously fun read of adventure, insights into the human condition, full of sarcasm and wit. Have a look inside and come on this journey with a reluctant alien time traveller, imprisoned on Earth.
Title:Diary of a Time Travelling Alien
Author: Yaakov C Lui-Hyden
Pages: 132
My review
This is a hilarious unique story of an Alien who is trapped in Earth. As the title suggests, the story is told through the several diary entries of this Alien. The uniqueness of this story lies in its perspective about mankind. It presents an outsider’s view on all the things in the Earth. His sarcastic approach extends beyond subjects such as our religions, customs, and the whole way of life. He presents an alternative lifestyle that he practiced back in his homeland. This lifestyle has everything that we lack. He compares both lives throughout the story. But the one thing that drives his life is his unending curiosity. He likes to explore and experience. What will happen if he decides to take things forward by taking over an actual human body?
What I liked most about this story is this gave me an alternative perspective about love and soulmate. The alien’s hatred towards wars and meat is quite hilarious and thought-provoking at the same time. I really liked the storytelling technique. Because it is one-sided and it is enough to bring sarcasm from beginning to end. The story is indeed gripping and enthralling.
At the tender age of 21, Destiny Jones had everything going for her. A promising acting career. A loving boyfriend who adored her. A scholarship to NYU. But it wasn’t enough to quiet the self-doubt that plagued her. She would have to lose it all to find herself. This epistolary “slice of life” novel spans twenty five years between September of 1994 and June of 2019. It is woven together as a dual narrative and told from the perspective of star-crossed lovers Destiny and Matthew. The letters written by Matthew are all set in the fall of 1994 when his beloved was away at NYU and he stayed behind in their hometown of Palm Desert, California. The couple had been together less than a year and this was the first time they were apart. Destiny’s diary entries span the agonizing twenty year aftermath of their eventual breakup.
Title: Sex & Coffee: A Bitter Little Time Capsule of Love

My review
Such an emotional roller-coaster!!
Sex & Coffee is an adult romance novel revolving around the life of star-crossed lovers, Destiny and Matthew spanning over twenty-five years. Their deep love hit rock bottom and heights in these years. This is an in-depth analysis of human emotions and our reactions towards them.
The author has adopted a unique storytelling technique in this novel, dual narrative. The story is told through the perspective of both main characters, Destiny and Matthew. We can feel their height of passion along with the pain of losing each other through words. Usually, the story is told through a single perspective which makes it a one-sided and largely partial. But when we get the idea of things that happened on both sides, then only the story completes a full circle. This style uncovers the vulnerability of the main characters. There is no room for justification in this story. We can really understand the situation and takes sides with our character of choice.
The whole story which is spanning over twenty-five years is told through diary entries of Destiny and letters from Mathew, but not necessarily in the chronological order. At first, I thought this will bring some confusion in the story. But surprisingly it does not. The story flows smoothly from beginning to end.
I’m greatly impressed by this novel. It is truly a “slice of life”. The story is very realistic and you can hardly find anything that doesn’t resonate with real life. I was so impressed by this realistic narration. All the raw human emotions are conveyed without losing its delicate nature.
Today I’ll be hosting author Stuart Pittorino on my blog. His new book “The Cobra Corridor” is availableonAmazon.com
Why did you choose to write this book?
I thought about what is the most dangerous weapon mankind has ever made? And then, what if it were to fall into the wrong hands? Would a traitor from the White House, Pentagon or somewhere in the military be in play? Then, why would global intelligence agencies like MI6, Mossad and Hezbollah be involved?
I found the answers to the first two questions and a covert action book started to take form. Then, all I wanted was for readers just to have a good time and escape – like being submerged in some of the best international military fiction thrillers.
Why would someone want to read your book?
Unforgettable characters with plot twists. I like to write for an audience first so it must be fast-paced and a real page-turner. With storytelling advancing over the last 20 years I chose a visual style to take my readers to the next level.
If you want excitement, escapism and enjoyment, like a James Bond or Mission Impossible good time, then go click the purchase button and enjoy the ride!
How far into the next book of this series are you?
That’s hilarious. Let’s wait and see if this becomes one of Amazon books best sellers in 2021 fiction.
What do you love about the writing process?
Life can be full of routine and hard work so the chance to dream, dwell and disappear into a fantasy world for a few hours is a real bonus.
Any tips for publishing?
Make sure your book is enrolled in Kindle Unlimited Free Books.
What advice would you give aspiring authors?
The audience is smarter than you think. Respect them. WOW them!

My review
Ella is a bard and her sister Lucinda, a prostitute, working day and night in the town of Veilig to pay off their deceased mother’s debt. Veilig is a cursed rainless town, driving in injustice and anarchy. The crimes in the town is increasing without a proper law and order. In this seemingly hopeless situation, Ella is carrying a secret with her. Her songs are embedded in codes for spies to decipher. This is her last hope to escape from this town. Then one day her sister is taken as captive. All the things that she fears came true. Will she able to save her sister and escape to a better world?
This novelette is a blend of fantasy and realism. The greed will drive humanity to a catastrophic world ruled by injustice. But self-less and fearless ones emerge amidst oppression. There will come a day that you can’t oppress them anymore. There will be an end for all.
The structure and in-depth character development are two other elements that make this story more interesting. The emotions and frustrations are accurately portrayed. Ella’s character is vulnerable and courageous at the same time. The author has managed to convince this delicate nature of the character quite beautifully.
The author’s style of narration is unique. She carefully set a relevant theme and penned down an absolutely beautiful story around it. I really love the parts when the fantasy transcends to real life. It is a unique slice of creativity to taste.
