Book excerpt: Romi’s greatest dream is to run the famed Blake Retreat until she retires, despite how her family just wants to sell to a wealthy CEO and take the money. With the purchase offers getting higher and higher, she’d rather focus on planning an extravagant week-long wedding for a local couple, and it’s not just because the best man who is planning the wedding with her is super good-looking. (Okay, maybe it is.) Lucas avoided love and family for years as he climbed high on the corporate ladder, and now he finds himself planning a charming wedding retreat for his best friend, Max. Weeks of phone calls and emails with the proprietor, Romi, has given him a little crush on the woman, but it’s not until he meets her in person the week before the wedding that he realizes that there might be more to life than working all the time. When Romi discovers that Lucas not only works for that annoying CEO, but has been tasked with making sure he buys her business no matter the cost, she’s crushed. She’s also determined to make sure he never gets his greedy hands on her family’s property, no matter what it takes. The Lake Sterling series is a series of sweet contemporary romantic comedies. Each book can be read as a standalone. Dive into Lake Sterling and fall in love today!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author, entrepreneur, speaker, and life and business coach Romi Neustadt has a message for women: You CAN have it all--just not at the same damn time. Romi Neustadt is a mom of two, a wife, a daughter, bestselling author, speaker, entrepreneur, and coach. What's more, she's achieved these things without a staff of 10, the ability to sleep two hours a night or driving herself batsh*t crazy. She's figured out the key to having it all: Priorities, babe. In her second book, Romi provides a no-BS blueprint for women to figure out what to focus on and what not to. She explains why saying YES to everything and everyone really means saying NO to the things that matter -- to your goals, your dreams, and your true self. The key to achieving your wildest dreams isn't to downsize them. It's to embrace them more fully, and discard everything that isn't serving them. This book will teach you how to: Zone in on what really matters to you, so you can ditch everything that isn't serving your dreams. Recognize and embrace your true worth as a provider, partner, and all-around kickass human. Say no to the millionth request from your kid's school for home-baked goods--without experiencing mom guilt. Establish boundaries that stick with coworkers, friends, and family. Ditch toxic relationships and the soul-sucking drama that accompanies them. Stop feeling like an imposter in your own life. Create habits that protect your time and energy. Kick fear (of not being lovable, pretty, or good enough) to the curb once and for all. Written in the same down-to-earth, accessible style that made her first book, Get Over Your Damn Self, a beloved bestseller, this book is for every woman who wants to live a fulfilled, authentic life without feeling stressed and exhausted. Romi is living proof that it's possible, and you will be too.

Book excerpt: All bets are off in the City of Lights . . . where life and love can change in less than a day Shortly after calling off her engagement, Mira Attwal escapes on an all-expense-paid business trip to Paris. But even the delicious food and flowing wine can’t make her forget her parent’s disappointment at leaving her fiance or the fact that she’s just blown up her personal life. As the trip nears its end, Mira knows she’s just a few hours from having to face the consequences. Yet, the fates seem determined to keep her away just a bit longer. Subways are missed. Trains simply don’t run. By the time Mira makes it to the airport, there are no new flights until the next day. And the icing on the pain au chocolat? Her arrogant and insufferable co-worker Jake Lewis is in the same boat. When he suggests that they spend the extra hours together, she’s sure his annoying optimism will be more than she can handle. But as they spend the next twenty-four hours exploring Paris in all its beauty, Mira realizes that she and Jake have more in common than they thought, and he may turn out to be the best thing she discovers in the City of Love.

This turns out to be one of Romi Narindra's first realizations, when she ditches her corporate job and moves to Paris for a year to write a book. It's a year that will shatter illusions, assert independence, and maybe even leave some room for a love affair or two. All the while, the past comes swirling back like a ghost with unfinished business, which raises important questions about hope and second chances. Some things last forever, some things will never be, but one thing's for sure: love in the modern world is not a fairy tale. Oh well, fairy tales were never all that interesting anyway... ------------------------ LENGTH: 74,000 words or approximately 280 pages DISCLAIMER: this book contains occasional profanities and mild sexual references (Paris,travel,Europe,chicklit,love,romance,romantic comedy,funny,humor,humour,long distance,dating,relationships)

This book was released on 2023-11-24 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book: It is a novel of short stories. There are several designated characters, and each has a unique backstory. Malathi was dressed in a multicolored, shiny garment, her six yards draped to show off her wealth, but she was unable to conceal her worries and suffering. The next-door neighbor makes an effort to grin while hiding his tears and covering them up. He lost his wife to suicide as a sheer result of his folly. Mina had fallen to the wicked and his sinful thoughts had clouded her, while Devika remained upright and fought valiantly to the end. Every character is captivating; some are through their beauty and charm, but most of them are torn apart, gripping, and full of suspense. It makes the reader feel upbeat. What next? About the Author: Latika born in Dhubri, Assam, was the ninth child in a family of fourteen. Her parents instilled in their children values of honesty, perseverance, and a love for reading. Despite societal norms, Latika excelled academically, becoming the top student at Bhola Nath College. After marrying young, she raised three children and supported her husband, Late Shri Krishna Lal's career as an Officer-Surveyor. At 89, Latika became an entrepreneur and crafted potli bags from used cloth materials. Her grandson, Joy, saw her accomplished work and took it to public attention creating a website, 'Latikas'. She also started writing articles for Bengali magazines. In Cochin, she wrote her memoirs reflecting on her remarkable journey. With the support of her children, she embraced new technology to enter the publishing industry. As both an entrepreneur and an author, Latika found success with a considerable following for her creations and writings, marking her last venture into English novels. Latika's story has reached a wider audience. At 93, she serves as a living example that life can be led fruitfully, dreams can be pursued, and hope can be found in following one's passion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [NOTE: each novel in the boxed set is about 74,000 words for a total of approximately 850 printed pages] This three-book romantic comedy series is all about starting from nowhere (no dating skills, no passion for a corporate job, low self-esteem), and undergoing a big transformation. The years go on, the landscapes change, and all along our heroine genuinely grows, as she moves past failures, achieves personal goals, becomes a better friend, and even gets the chance to fall in love. More specifically, there's Internet romance (or obsession? Fine line...), there's a meeting with the right guy at the wrong time, there's long-distance romance turmoil, and there's a life-changing journey to a totally different place. The stories are told in a bold narrative with punchy dialogue, to give this series a little more edge than your typical chicklit books. Throughout the series there's also an underlying tension caused by culture clash, when a strict Indian background brings up totally unpleasant scenarios (pressure to get married, pressure to get an ARRANGED marriage...you get the drift). ---------------------------------- LENGTH: each romantic comedy is a full-length novel of about 74,000 words (or between 280-285 printed pages each) DISCLAIMER: the books contain occasional profanities and mild sexual references

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Milton Wexler was among the most unconventional, compelling, and sometimes controversial figures of the golden age of psychoanalysis in America. From Teachers College at Columbia University to the Menninger Foundation in Topeka to the galleries and gilded hills of Hollywood, he traversed the country and the century, pursuing interests ranging from the treatment of schizophrenia to group therapy with artists to advocacy for research on Huntington’s disease. At a time when psychologists and psychoanalysts tended to promote adjustment to society, Wexler increasingly championed creativity and struggle. The Analyst is an intimate and searching portrait of Milton Wexler, written by his daughter, an acclaimed historian. Alice Wexler illuminates her father’s intense private life and explores how his life and work reveal the broader reaches of Freudian ideas in the United States. She draws on decades of Milton Wexler’s unpublished family and professional correspondence and manuscripts as well as her own interviews, diaries, and memories. Through the lens of Milton Wexler’s friendships, the book offers glimpses into the lives of cultural icons such as Lillian Hellman, Eppie Lederer (Ann Landers), and Frank Gehry. The Analyst is at once a striking account of the arc of an iconoclast’s life, a daughter’s moving meditation on her complex father, and a new window onto on the wider landscape of psychoanalysis and science in the twentieth century.

Krauss’s depictions of the nuances of sex and love, intimacy and dependence, call to mind the work of Natalia Ginzburg in their psychological profundity, their intellectual rigor. . . . Krauss’s stories capture characters at moments in their lives when they’re hungry for experience and open to possibilities, and that openness extends to the stories themselves: narratives too urgent and alive for neat plotlines, simplistic resolutions or easy answers.” —Molly Antopol, New York Times Book Review “From a contemporary master, an astounding collection of ten globetrotting stories, each one a powerful dissection of the thorny connections between men and women. . . . Each story is masterfully crafted and deeply contemplative, barreling toward a shimmering, inevitable conclusion, proving once again that Krauss is one of our most formidable talents in fiction.” —Esquire In one of her strongest works of fiction yet, Nicole Krauss plunges fearlessly into the struggle to understand what it is to be a man and what it is to be a woman, and the arising tensions that have existed from the very beginning of time. Set in our contemporary moment, and moving across the globe from Switzerland, Japan, and New York City to Tel Aviv, Los Angeles, and South America, the stories in To Be a Man feature male characters as fathers, lovers, friends, children, seducers, and even a lost husband who may never have been a husband at all. The way these stories mirror one other and resonate is beautiful, with a balance so finely tuned that the book almost feels like a novel. Echoes ring through stages of life: aging parents and new-born babies; young women’s coming of age and the newfound, somewhat bewildering sexual power that accompanies it; generational gaps and unexpected deliveries of strange new leases on life; mystery and wonder at a life lived or a future waiting to unfold. To Be a Man illuminates with a fierce, unwavering light the forces driving human existence: sex, power, violence, passion, self-discovery, growing older. Profound, poignant, and brilliant, Krauss’s stories are at once startling and deeply moving, but always revealing of all-too-human weakness and strength.
