Today I am reviewing a book by Ashley Ryan. The book is titled Mis-Behavior to Great Behavior – 20 Days to a New Child, and it is likely one of the best parenting books I have ever read (and I read a lot for those of you who don’t know me well). The book is the main element in the complete down-loadable package sold on the Mis-Behavior to Great Behavior site.

The entire package includes many bonus eBooks: 7 Alternatives to Punishment eBook, How to Raise a Happy Cooperative Child Videos, The Formula Solving Behavior Problems videos, etc. As a package the book with the bonuses is well worth the money, but it’s the book itself that I want to talk about today.

Misbehavior to Great Behavior by Ashley Ryan

Given that Ashley Ryan is a professional parenting coach, I did expect this book to be a good one right from the start. I must say that I wasn’t at all disappointed. The book is great.

In Mis-Behavior to Great Behavior you will learn ideas like:

• How to reduce tantrums and make outings more fun
• How to get your child to co-operate without punishment
• How to reduce the amount of times you have to say no and still have your child follow the rules
• How to stop behavioral problems like child aggression
• Much more..

The book doesn’t stop with ideas related to children though. It also walks you through becoming a confident, loving parent, and teaches you how to be in control without the need to yell or punish your child all the time. It’s really the book that will teach you how to be a better parent, and how to bring love back into your home and keep the anger and aggression out of the equation (on both the child and parents part).

Ashley Ryan’s book is easy to read, includes some great bonus material, and is coming highly recommended from me. The book comes with an 8-week money-back guarantee, so in this case you don’t even need to take my word for it. Buy the book and see for yourself.

Today I’m reviewing a Science Fiction novel by K.M. Tolan. The book is published by Champagne books, and it is one Sci-Fi read that fans of the genre won’t want to miss.

Blade Dance is an action packed book that is a truly imaginative novel, and it doesn’t follow some of the nerve-grinding conventions of this type of book. One of my biggest pet peeves with science fiction is the fact that so many books follow the same story line as the last one you read. With Blade Dancer you move away from those boring conventions and you get a truly original story that will draw you in from page one on.

The book tells the story of Mikial a female Datha warrior (and no I’m not going to explain the terminology – you’ll have to read it for yourself) who seems to always be struggling between what’s right, and what duty tells her she should be doing. Throughout the book you are taken with Mikial on a journey through war, to distant lands regularly untraveled by her people, and ultimately to success. I’m not going to share any more of the story line, but I will say this is one Sci-Fi eBook that should be in your library.

K.M. Tolan has an excellent writing style that is descriptive enough to draw you right into this whole new world. I’m looking forward to the next book featuring Mikial, and I enjoyed this ones so much that I also plan to buy K.M’s other book Waiting Weapon. I’ve included links at the bottom of this post for all of our Sci-Fi fans. I do suggest you grab a copy.

Excerpt:

The odd coughing thud increased in tempo. She was sure it came from among the trees, but a noise like the quick rush of birds made her look up. A geyser of dirt flashed skyward near the creek just to her right, scattering stones and debris through the brush. Before Mikial could make sense of what had happened, another crash of sound and light erupted in front of the Line’s position.

Cort Havada gave a series of signals that sent her scrambling to her feet. Assault by flanks. Mikial bolted as more “birds” flew in, chewing ground around the Datha blocking force.

Feren was right behind her as she dashed along the creek along the hillside. Glancing back, she saw Cort lead a skirmish line across the field as enemy cannon shells continued to rend the bushes they had left behind. Then came the next ugly surprise. It sounded like the sharp blast of a Qurl cannon, except that one report followed another in impossibly fast succession. Something raked across the rushing Datha like a deadly wind, many of them crumpling in bloody sprays.

Mikial dove instinctively as projectiles far worse than the expected simple rifle balls smashed rocks and tore the soil around her. A stinging rain of debris made it seem like an entire cavalry brigade had chosen her for volley fire.

“In the trees!” Feren shouted, slapping at her helmet. “Just ahead…see the flashes?”

“Targeted!” She snapped open the bipod attached to the cannon barrel and raised the weapon into position. Whatever the thing was, it had gone back to hammering Cort’s group in the field, forcing Datha to crawl across the meadow.

Since we posted the original review of 1000 Questions for Couples by Michael Webb, our site has been getting a lot of traffic from people seeking out information on the book. With that, we wanted to take a closer look at the book itself and run an eBook feature. Since it’s obviously information people are looking for – we’re always glad to help.

As we said in the review, 1000 Questions for Couples, takes an in depth look at questions couples (both new couples and old) should ask to get to know one another better. The book comes highly recommended by us. Of course, given that Michael Webb is both a T.V. personality and a best selling author, we never expected any less.

Since people seem to be actively seeking out this particular book though, we thought we’d take a closer look.

1000 Questions for Couples – Topic List

The questions in the book are divided into 22 different categories. Each topic focuses on one area of relationships, personality, likes, dislikes, etc. The topics of the questions in Michael’s latest book include:

1. Personality, Feelings & Emotion
2. Favorites
3. Pets
4. Attractions
5. Health, Food & Well Being
6. Vacations
7. Morals, Convictions and Beliefs
8. Religion & Spiritual Matters
9. Car & Driver
10. Past & Future
11. Holidays & Celebrations
12. Home & Home Life
13. Hobbies & Entertainment
14. Love, Romance & Date Nights
15. Friends & Family
16. Communication
17. Career and Education
18. Money
19. Relationships – Past & Present
20. Children & Child Rearing
21. Wedding & Honeymoon
22. Sex

Each section includes questions that would be excellent for both new couples and those who have been together for a while. The questions don’t focus on just the simple stuff, they include many deep and meaningful questions that will help you to get to know your partner better. If you look closely at most couples they don’t know each other well, beyond the superficial topics and ideas, and 1000 Questions for Couples will help to overcome that problem.

1000 Questions for Couple – Excerpt

To give you a better idea of what the book includes, here is a short excerpt from the first section, and a few sample questions from that same section.

Personality, Feelings & Emotions
This is by far the largest collection of questions, and rightly so. Your personality is the heart and core of who you are. You might be able to change your viewpoints on religion, sex and politics, but how you react to tragedies and triumphs will rarely be different from year to year. Answers to these questions will give you insight into your partner and will fill you with a deeper understanding of who they are.

• What things about me remind you of anyone from your past, either past sweethearts or good friends?
• What do you think are my talents? Do you think you have any of the same talents?
• How many physical fights have you been in? Do you usually start them? Why do you fight?
• Has anyone very dear to you died? How did you handle it?
• Do you tend to analyze your decisions before you talk about them or do ideas and thoughts blurt out without much forethought?
  

If you want to learn more about my thoughts on this particular book, you can read the original review by clicking here. For those who’ve been looking for that next great book to read together, I do suggest you visit the 1000 Questions for Couples site and pick up your own copy. The book itself comes with an 8-week money-back guarantee so it’s a no-risk purchase.

My wife and I have been enjoying this book together, and we’ve been married for 10 years so it really is a great read (and a lot of fun) for couples both pre-marital couples and those who’ve been together for a while.

For newcomers to our site: Be sure to subscribe our RSS feed (also available by email at the top of this site). When I contacted Michael to get his permission to post this feature, he asked me to review a couple of his other books. For those who enjoy 1000 Questions for Couples, you won’t want to miss the reviews that we have coming up later this month!

Here is an excellent novella that science-fiction fans won’t want to miss. The book is called Parole, by Barton Paul Levenson, and it is available in multiple eBook formats from the Lyrical Press Store. This particular novella is about 61 pages (in pdf format) and is an excellent read from front to back. At just $2.50 it’s definitely a book our science fiction readers should pick up.

Parole tells the story of a Mel Broward, a hacker who has been sentenced to one year to life in prison for his criminal activities. As luck would have it Broward gets an early parole when one of the Kolinti-pheet-riggador, an alien species, requires a hacker to help with a security issue.

I’m not going to give away the storyline, but I will say that the book includes elements that make it unique in its genre and it will draw you in right from the start. As you make your way into the book you’ll find yourself surprised at every plot turn, and Levenson’s descriptive style will take you right into the action.

If you’ve been looking for your next Sci-Fi novel, I am highly recommending Parole by Barton Paul Levenson. This is the third book I’ve reviewed from Lyrical Press and they are another e-Publisher that I am beginning to associate with excellent eBooks.

Today I’m reviewing a language learning package that anyone interested in learning Spanish should get. I actually purchased the package on the recommendation of one of my Spanish blogging friends, but I am enjoying the course enough that I thought I would review it on our site.

As the name suggests, Rocket Spanish is a digital package that teaches, well Spanish. It is divided into a series of audio courses and also comes with some eBooks (grammar guides and exercise booklets) to back up what is being taught. Rocket Spanish also includes an excellent piece of software that adds a visual element and a little fun to your learning experience.

This particular audio course differs from others in that, rather than just repeating words that you are taught, it puts you right into conversations with native Spanish speakers. Each audio file in the series walks you through a conversation, explains to you what is being said, and then allows you to take one (or both) sides of the conversations as the module progresses. The entire course is very well put together and worth the money you spend to get it.

When you’re done with the audio portion of the module you can move onto real exercises that also teach you grammar and test you on what you’ve learned. Add to that the visual elements added by the software and the whole course comes together as an excellent learning package.

I personally purchased this course because along with my family we will be spending a year in Mexico soon. I have owned the course for a month and I am progressing with my Spanish learning quite quickly. I am highly recommending Rocket Spanish to anyone who needs a good Spanish learning packages. The course is available from the link below, and can be purchased as a basic course, or with an additional advanced course that takes you even farther with your learning.

Here is an eBook that all of our author followers should read. The book is called The Power of Promotional Groups and it is written by Karen Wiesner. As the title suggests the book covers how to promote an eBook using various types of group efforts.

The Power of Promotional Groups is well written, easy to follow and highly recommended to anyone who is new to the world of eBook publishing.

With this book a new author can expect to learn:

• All about four different types of promotional groups that can take your eBook sales to the next level.
• Elements you should have in your own toolbox to promote your work youself.
• How to target your promotions inexpensively over the long term.
• Places where you can get inexpensive paid advertising to help with your promotions.
• How group anthologies can help to bring your own work to a wider audience.

The eBook also lists hundreds of organizations and other tools to help you along the way.

My personal feeling after reading this one is that anyone who is new to the world of eBook promotion should read this book. It will help you take your fiction (or likely non-fiction) work to a new level of readership.

You can pick up a copy of Karen Wiesner’s eBook from the authors site here: Karen’s Site. You can also read a rather lengtly excerpt on the publishers site: The Power of Promotional Groups on Twilight Times Books

For those of you who missed my original post, in which I shared my thoughts on the excellent course Niche Blueprint, today is the day. Niche Blueprint will be publicly available in about 10 minutes, and this one will only be on the market for 5 days total.

If you have been looking for the best way to make money online. I do suggest you check this one out.

As I said in my review this is one course that I think everyone interesting in marketing should have. It covers many topics related to Internet marketing in general, but most importantly it teaches you how to make $10,000 per month niche websites (and the ideas really do work).

Free Site Signup Review – Update June 07th, 2009 – After working with FSS for close to a year now, I decided this post needed to be revamped a little. If you watch the new video posted below, it gives a much better idea of the potential of this system. In one year, with one site (and you get 28 money-making sites when you signup with these guys) we have brought in close to $50,000 in income. Not bad with one of the 28 sites you get for an $8.95 signup fee!

If you like easy money, then please read this whole post, and be sure to watch the video. This is a real opportunity from a real company that I am working with right now!

I just wanted to post to let everyone know that our site will be featured in the training videos for FreeSiteSignup.com. I wanted to let everyone know for two reasons.

First – we’re being featured on a high-traffic site and that’s awesome!

Second - I have been working the the company who runs FreeSitesignup.com, to create some training videos on how to create ad campaigns, and also on how to build traffic for free (hence the reason our site is being featured). With the work I have done with them, I have seen first-hand the money making potential of signing up with this site, and today I am sharing that with you (I like to help others make money).

Okay, so the basic premise of freesitesignup.com is that you sign-up, you pay your sign-up fee (there is a free package, but you want the upgrade and I’ll get to why in a moment), and then you post a professionally researched and written review page to your site. You then use various methods to drive traffic to that page, and you earn a commission every time someone buys one of the products that the page recommends. It’s actually much easier than it sounds. They give you step-by-step videos that teach you how to accomplish everything.

With the work I have done with them – in 2 weeks time, with one page and one AdWords campaign, they have made some serious money. Instead of saying anything else, just watch this video; this one is about 7 videos into the AdWords training video series, and it shows how much the campaign has made over two weeks and talks about the potential of this one campaign.

Update June 07th, 2009. After working with Free Site Signup for close to a year now, I have created another video that shows the profit potential of their system. You can watch it by pressing play below:

I am highly recommending that anyone interested in making some extra cash get in on this one. The training videos walk you through all of the steps you need to take to make money within just a few days, and yes this is for real!

This one is a fairly new opportunity, and I do suggest getting in now instead of later. Get Started with Free Site Signup by Clicking Here

As a Side Note: Aside from the work I have been doing for them, I am not in any way affiliated with free site sign-up. They have not paid me to advertise their site (it’s just an excellent opportunity so I wanted to share). All names, trademarks, etc are copyright of freesitesignup.com and their parent company Top Tier Solutions.

Here’s a short story that Sci-Fi readers will enjoy. The eBook is The Treasure by Michael W. Davis, and it is an excellent read from start to finish. Personally, I enjoy short eBooks like this one. They give me a way to grab a book to read for a $1.00, and they can be finished in a shorter amount of time (time is something I seem to have less of lately).

The Treasure tells the story of Major Jake Hamilton, a space traveler who finds himself marooned on a distant planet, alone after his crew is killed, and faced with a daily struggle against the inhabitants of that planet. I’m not going to give away the story line, but I will say this short story is a great read. It is one of those books that really makes you think, and it will leave you with a sense of wonder when you finish.

As I expected, since it’s written by Michael W. Davis, the writing style is great and it will draw you right in. If you’ve been looking for a good short eBook, I highly recommend this Sci-Fi short from Champagne books.

An Excerpt from the Treasure

Jake heard the scream from the direction of the shoreline. He ripped his way through the dense undergrowth, but when he got there, she was gone. He followed the drag trail into the teal colored trees. Just inside the dense underbrush, he came to an opening, and there she was, the life being sucked from her small body. She reached for him, pleaded for relief. He struggled to help her, but he couldn’t move. His feet were entangled in the roots of the forest; the vines rose up and anchored him to the ground. She called his name again and again, begged him to save her, but he could only watch as she was slowly devoured. He looked toward the sky; cried out for a reprieve, but there was no one to help.

Here’s a book that those who read horror won’t want to miss. The book is called Thirst of Youth, it’s written by Preston J. Sexton, and it will be available from Rogue Pheonix Press on April 01st, 2009. I am recommending this one to anyone who enjoys this genre.

Thirst of Youth is a vampire novel, but with a very unique twist – the vampires aren’t actually vampires at all (if you want to understand you’ll have to read the book). The book tells the story of Justin Browser, a young man trying to escape the mundane life of central Oregon. Upon moving out to L.A. he is presented with a whole new, quite horrific, world where he is forced to fight against a new evil he discovers.

The whole book is an excellent keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat novel, and I am recommending it to anyone who enjoys a good horror book. It’s is an action packed thrill-ride that will keep you reading and wanting more.

Thirst of Youth will be available on April 01, from the Rogue Pheonix Press site. You can bookmark their site, or just subscribe to our RSS feed – I will be announcing the official release of this particular eBook.

An Excerpt from Thirst of Youth:

Sarah and the kids flinched at the first sound of gunfire. They moved quickly toward the end of the building. Sarah scanned the open space for a pay phone.

The Uzi’s rattled off round after round with little pause between them. Metal shards sliced the night air anticipating the collision with the angry vamptilians flesh. All three women caught the searing pressure at once. Camille took one shot off her left shin, another spread a hole in the flesh of her right hand. She was livid.

Now that his strengths were like theirs, it would be more difficult to attack through the rapid succession of bullets. Camille jumped from the van, leaving her cousins to be shredded. She disappeared into the dark sky, wounded, and plotting her revenge. Ming and Nicki were heavy with molten shrapnel. The 9mm cartridges rained from the ejection port. Ming’s arms and face looked like ground beef. Thick blood streamed down her cheek. Her right eye had exploded in its socket. The dying beast gave one last gargling hiss–fell to her knees and then her belly.

Nicki cried out like a wounded animal. Fingers were missing from both her hands. Chucks of muscle tore from her arms, thighs, and abdomen.

Justin kicked his right leg over the motorcycle as he continued unleashing bullets from the guns. Once free from the bike, he walked closer to the helpless vamptilians. He turned both pistols on Nicki. The violent barrage of ammunition tore into her skull. Fragments of brain matter and bone splashed onto the cement and the van behind her. She remained on her feet, although the glaze in her dark eyes was completely devoid of life. By the time Justin had calmed his tensed index fingers, the entire upper crust of Nicki’s skull was gone. She fell to the earth.
