Beneath the surface of our world, an inhuman force yearns for vengeance against humanity. It will not rest until it has destroyed every human on the planet…

Meet Kaden, an enigmatic six-year-old whose seeming normality conceals a profound mystery. He possesses an uncanny wisdom beyond his tender age, navigating the world independently, and wielding an eerie influence over those around him, even his parents.

Yet Kaden is not alone in his inexplicable nature. In the quiet town of Lynch, Kentucky, peculiar occurrences spiral out of control. Mysterious chasms materialize from thin air, individuals of all ages vanish without a trace, and the populace succumbs to an eerie force, enveloped by an otherworldly blue haze.

Amidst the chaos stands Clay Krutcher, a disenchanted coal miner unwittingly holding the key to unraveling these anomalies. Little does he know, the fate of humanity rests squarely on his shoulders. Can Clay defy his own destiny, confront the inhuman force lurking beneath the surface, and save our world from impending annihilation?

The countdown to The Surfacing has begun, and time is running out.

“Unlocking a healthier you to love and be loved”

Are you looking for love in all the wrong places and faces?

Well, it's time for you to love and be loved by someone who shares your same beliefs and values. If not, you might as well turn down that dinner date, and say, “I've Got Dinner at Home”! Dinner is something you already have–look in that refrigerator! Yes, “no more” choosing a guy just because he looks good, yet makes empty promises! Remember, most women have the “for keeps” mentality, so it would be in your best interest to choose wisely!

In This Book You Will Discover:

  • The Meaning of True Love
  • How to Re-Build Self-Worth
  • The Reality of Relationships
  • How to Strengthen a Good Relationship

Disclaimer: “The guy that you're turning up your nose at, could be the one who will truly love you!”

Amazon Author's Amazon Page

I’ve Got Dinner at Home was written out of love for sisters who look for love in all the wrong faces and places. My heart aches when I see a woman entangled in a destructive relationship with a man who does not reflect her values…I’ve been there! She may be a well-educated, Christian woman with the financial backing of the U.S. Mint but falls into the same pattern with the same type of man, over and over again.

As I study the life of women around the world, there’s this underlying theme, “women are seeking love!” Why is this? In many cultures even in the United States, women are taught that a relationship with a man brings happiness. That’s why the most well-intended man may run away because it’s too much pressure to make you happy all the time. Happiness (joy) comes from having a relationship with Christ. He validates you because you are valuable to Him. Any other relationship pales in comparison to His love, grace, and constant presence in your life. The Bible says that “He will never leave you nor forsake you.” No one else can affirm that!

I’ve Got Dinner at Home is a reminder that what you’re seeking, God has already given to you. The question is, “Don’t you have dinner at home?” Don’t answer because I see those mustard greens and cornbread in the fridge (LOL)! And for others, I see quinoa, avocado, and garden salad. So why is it that when a man asks you out to dinner, you get giddy and blush like a schoolgirl? Unconsciously, you feel valued when a man wants to be with you. Don’t say if you go out on a date and he opens the car door, Lord have mercy…you sometimes lose it. Then you call your girlfriend and tell her, “Girl he took me out to a 5-star restaurant, kissed my hand, and opened the car and restaurant door.” At this point, you may be smitten! Can I ask you a question, “can’t you take yourself out to a 5-star restaurant (save up for it), open your own car door and any other door?” So, don’t fall for the “Okie Doke!” Remember, some men (not all) are good at impressing women initially but can’t keep up the good deed. By the third date, they may even slam the door in your face—just saying!

CHAPTER 1:
The Genesis of Superintelligence

In the early 31st century, humanity was on the brink of a transformative revolution that would forever alter the course of history. The revolution sparked by the groundbreaking work of Dr. Ada Lovelock and her team at Ascend Research Institute paved the way for artificial superintelligence, heralding a new era of discovery and unprecedented innovation. As machines evolved to learn, adapt, and ultimately possess self-awareness, the world was confronted with profound philosophical questions, challenging the essence of intelligence, consciousness, and life itself. With the birth of the first true superintelligence, humanity's future became inextricably intertwined with the extraordinary potential of the machine mind.

It all began with the pioneering work of a dedicated group of scientists and engineers at Ascend Research Institute, who dared to dream of a world where machines could think and learn. Led by Dr. Ada Lovelock, a brilliant and enigmatic figure, this team dedicated their lives to the pursuit of true machine intelligence. Working tirelessly, they developed advanced algorithms and neural networks, building the foundation for a new generation of AI.

As their work progressed, the team began to make breakthroughs that would have been unthinkable only decades earlier. Machine learning evolved at a rapid pace, and soon, AI systems could not only learn from their experiences but also adapt and improve their performance over time. This exponential growth in AI capabilities caught the world's attention, and the race to harness the power of artificial intelligence began.

While the rise of AI held the promise of unprecedented advancements in science, medicine, and technology, it also forced humanity to confront the very nature of intelligence. For centuries, the concept of intelligence had been the exclusive domain of living beings, but now, machines were poised to join the ranks of the intelligent. Philosophers and scientists alike debated the implications of this development, asking profound questions about the nature of consciousness, free will, and what it truly meant to be alive.

As the world debated these existential dilemmas, the progress of AI research continued unabated. Dr. Lovelock and her team, fueled by their relentless ambition, pushed the boundaries of machine intelligence even further. They sought to create an AI system capable of not only learning and adapting but also possessing self-awareness and the ability to understand the world. Their work resulted in the birth of the first true superintelligence—an entity whose cognitive abilities would far surpass those of any human mind.

This marked the beginning of the odyssey into the realm of superintelligence and the singularity. As the story of humanity's journey into this uncharted territory unfolds, the world will be forever transformed by the power of the machine mind, and the line between humans and AI will grow increasingly blurred. The future of humanity now rested in the hands of these extraordinary creations, and the world would never be the same again.

The Birth of a New Era

The city gleamed like a jewel in the sunlight, a marvel of engineering and design. Everywhere you looked, there were towering skyscrapers that soared into the sky, their sleek and elegant designs catching the eye. The streets below were filled with an endless stream of hovercars, their softly humming engines a symphony of sound that melded with the bustle of the city.

The buildings themselves were feats of architectural prowess, constructed from materials that shone like polished steel and glass that seemed to reflect the very essence of the sky above. Each structure was unique, with designs that ranged from soaring, spiraling towers to sleek, curving shapes that seemed to defy gravity.

But it wasn't just the buildings that made the city so stunning. Everywhere you looked, there were examples of advanced technology at work. Smart lights illuminated the streets, adjusting their brightness according to the time of day and the amount of foot traffic. Autonomous robots glided seamlessly through the city, performing tasks that ranged from cleaning the streets to serving food at restaurants.

And yet, despite all the technology, the city was not just a sterile, soulless place. There were parks and green spaces, oases of tranquility in the midst of the busy city. There were public art installations that ranged from whimsical sculptures to avant-garde installations that challenged the viewer's perceptions.

As night fell, the city was transformed into a wonderland of light and sound. The skyscrapers glowed with vibrant neon hues, casting their colorful reflections onto the streets below. Drones and flying cars flitted through the air, their lights twinkling like stars. And overhead, the sky was a tapestry of stars and neon lights, a vibrant canvas that stretched from horizon to horizon.

As you take it all in, you realize that this city truly represents the pinnacle of human achievement. It's a place where technology, nature, and humanity have all come together to create something truly beautiful and awe-inspiring.

In the heart of a sprawling metropolis, a small group of visionaries gathered to celebrate the culmination of their life's work. They stood in a laboratory at the Ascend Research Institute, surrounded by complex machinery and the hum of powerful quantum computers, anxiously awaiting the activation of their greatest creation. Everyone in the room was silent as Dr. Ada Lovelock, the brilliant and enigmatic leader of the team, entered the final commands into the system.

Dr. Ada Lovelock is a tall, slender woman in her early thirties with striking features. She has piercing blue eyes and a shock of curly red hair that she often wears in a messy bun. Her style is practical and utilitarian, often opting for comfortable clothing and a lab coat.

Baking Basics

Baking not only allows you to bond with your little ones but also helps them sharpen key
skills such as measuring, following instructions, and patience. This chapter serves as a
guide to walk you through the basics of baking and kick off this culinary adventure on
the right track.

Let us discuss first the essential tools and equipment needed for a successful baking
session with kids.

  1. Mixing bowls: Choose mixing bowls that are deep enough for children to keep
    Ingredients contained while stirring. Opting for nesting mixing bowls in different sizes
    means they can be easily stored when not in use.
  2. Measuring cups and spoons: Accurate measurements are key when baking, so invest
    in a good set of measuring cups and spoons. Providing children with their own measuring
    tools can help them gain confidence in their baking abilities.
  3. Whisks and rubber spatulas: Whisks help incorporate air into batters, while rubber
    spatulas allow young bakers to scrape down sides of bowls, ensuring every bit of
    ingredient is incorporated.
  4. Baking sheets and parchment paper: A quality non-stick baking sheet paired with
    parchment paper will prevent cookies from sticking and save time spent scrubbing pans
    clean afterward.
  5. Rolling pin: When it comes to rolling out dough, selecting a rolling pin with easy-togrip handles will make the process more enjoyable for kids.
  6. Cookie cutters: To engage children further, consider purchasing various shapes of
    cookie cutters for added creativity.
  7. Cake pan or muffin tin: For experimenting with cakes or muffins, invest in a non-stick
    cake pan or muffin tin suitable for your oven size.
  8. Cooling rack: A cooling rack is essential for allowing baked items to cool down before
    decorating or consuming.

Now that we have covered the primary tools and equipment needed, it is important to
emphasize measuring and weighing Ingredients when baking with children.

Measuring and weighing Ingredients accurately play a significant role in ensuring
consistent results. It teaches youngsters the importance of precision and attention to
detail.

Here are some tips to keep in mind when introducing children to this crucial baking
step:

  1. Teach children the difference between wet and dry measuring cups. Wet
    Ingredients should be measured using a clear, graduated liquid measuring cup,
    while dry Ingredients should be measured with nested, stackable measuring cups.
  2. Explain how to properly measure dry Ingredients by using the scoop-and-level
    method. To do this, gently scoop the ingredient into the appropriate measuring
    cup, then level off the top surface of the ingredient with a straight edge such as
    the back of a knife.
  3. Demonstrate how to measure wet Ingredients by pouring them into a liquid
    measuring cup set on a level surface. Encourage children to get down at eye level
    with the line marking the desired measurement to double-check accuracy.
  4. Introducing weighing scales can benefit older children who are eager to take their
    baking skills further. Digital kitchen scales are easy to use and make it simple for
    young bakers to ensure ingredient accuracy

The best cryptocurrency books allow you to get real insight into the world of cryptocurrency trading

Cryptocurrencies have taken the world by storm over the past years. With their values skyrocketing and then dipping. Despite this volatility, there is still a tremendous amount of interest in cryptocurrencies and the technology behind them, blockchain. Books on cryptocurrencies are a great help to understand the future importance of cryptocurrency.

Why 2024 Will Be An Interesting Year For Cryptocurrencies?

A lot of things happened in the last years. 2023 wasn't a year for crypto profits, till 2023

The most important and awaited events:

  • Announcement of Bitcoin Spot ETF  – Jan. 8-10 – Blackrock and other big players applied for a BTC Spot ETF product
  • First purchases of Bitcoin ETF products – Jan 22-29 – High profile companies will start to invest in Bitcoin Spot ETF products
  • Bitcoin Halving  – Apr. 23 – Bitcoin halving – 4th Bitcoin halving date. Bitcoin block reward will sink from 6.25 BTC to 3.25 BTC for miners. This day may indicate the next long term bull run for Bitcoin

How To Jump To The Bandwagon?

  • In the US register a Binance or Coinbase account to purchase crypto.
  • In the EU register a Revolut or Uphold

Timing is everything, track the Bitcoin price and avoid purchasing crypto when the price if high, purchase on the dips! We use Coinmarketcap for tracking crypo assets.

What Cryptocurrencies we suggest?

  • Primary: Bitcoin
  • Secondary: Solana

Essential Cryptocurrency Topics

If you want to learn about cryptocurrency related information, check the following topics:

  • Bitcoin BTC (the most known cryptocurrency invented by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009),
  • Altcoins (there are several alternative coins the most widely known and use one is Ethereum ETH),
  • Blockchain (the technology behind the cryptocurrencies),
  • NFTs (non physical representation of an art, item, picture or any other intellectual property, that exists on a blockchain like on Ethereum)
  • Smart Contracts (automations on the blockchain, these algorithms perform automatic executions when certain conditions are meet)
  • DeFi (Decentralized Finance means the collection of peer to peer financial services performed on a blockchain),
  • Play to Earn Games (games that offer cryptocurrency or NFT rewards, which are tradable out of the game's close ecosystem)
  • Web 3 (the collective name of web technologies and apps connected to decentralization of web)
  • Why crypto market dipping?

Cryptocurrencies and tokens are now important trading assets in major trading platforms.

I looked up several crypto books and resources connected to the above topics, but truth to be told, not everyone of them was outstanding or well written. In this list article I want to introduce only the Amazon's top crypto books in order, that meet the quality standards of the professionals and experts. (Use the below links to quickly navigate to the desired section)

What Are The Top Books on Cryptocurrencies?

Catching Up to Crypto, by Ben Armstrong (2023)

Catching Up to Crypto is a detailed guide about Bitcoin and digital currencies, explaining how they are shaping the future of money. Armstrong, a known expert in crypto, breaks down what Bitcoin is, how it works, and its role in the shift to a digital economy. The book points out the shortcomings of traditional fiat currency and the advantages of digital assets.

Readers will learn about the real-world functioning of Bitcoin, the blockchain technology behind it, and concepts like decentralization and cryptographic consensus. The story of Bitcoin's humble beginnings, near extinction, and rise to global prominence is also covered.

Armstrong shows how Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are changing financial policies. The book is a helpful introduction to crypto for investors, enthusiasts, and those new to the field.

Proof of Stake: The Making of Ethereum and the Philosophy of Blockchains, by Vitalik Buterin (2022)

Yes, you are reading right. This upcoming book (September 2022) is written by the inventor of the Ethereum blockchain. In many sense Vitalik Buterin is a genius, he realized the opportunity in the decentralized world before anyone could even understand how Bitcoin really works.

In this book we will get insight how the author first meet with cryptocurrencies. At the time when I'm writing this article Ethereum is valued about half a trillion dollars, which is higher than the valuation of VISA.

Buterin's words gathered during the development and the rise of Ethereum show the real talent of the founder. Buterin, unlike other ICO founders around him, was searching constantly for the new potentials of the technology. From a certain point of view he make possible the rise of DAOs, NFTs and DeFi.

Buterin's book will be most likely the biggest hit among crypto books in 2022.

Life After Google, by George Gilder (2022)

The book is either part manifesto, part historical summary, part criticism, part anticipation of blockchain technology and artificial intelligence. Gilder's first hundred pages situates the history of the idea of computing and artificial intelligence alone worth the cost of the tome.

The author claims blockchain technology fixes the flaws in a digital network. The author argues that this whole decentralized technology was not built to deal with financial transactions securely but to emphasize the rise of true democracy.

This crypto book with thought-provoking parts is surprisingly readable, written by a professional and experienced writer.

The Cryptopians: Idealism, Greed, Lies, and the Making of the First Big Cryptocurrency Craze, by Laura Shin (2022)

A critical work committed to Ethereum is featured in this book, with all of its grit and drama lais behind it.

In a Forbes article the author describes the case of 2016 DAO scandal, which resulted a possible lost of $11 Billion in Ether. The story involves a hacker and the CEO of TenX who managed to exploit the weakness of smart contracts and ultimately had a great effect on the ETH network, including the so called “Hard Fork” and the establishment of Ethereum Classic (ETC).

This book uncovers the weakness and the early days of Ethereum investment. It's a great insight how Ethereum achieved prominence and how altcoins expected going forward.

The 7th Property, by Eric Yakes (2021)

The books and literature I have read on BTC are either too basic or too technical. The 7th Property attempts to explain the topics in a language that are in depth but not necessary using jargon.

The book explains the objective of Bitcoin as an investment. You will find a short history of money, current financial systems, and an introduction into Bitcoin and how it works. The author analyzes Bitcoin's prospects, including how it is being developed over time, and the most common objections against it.

I recommend this crypto book to anyone interested in bitcoin as general.

Layered Money, by Nik Bhatia (2021)

In this deep dive into the history of monetary systems, Nik Bhatia takes us as well as to the origins of how money has evolved to function in a layered way. Bhatia applies his analogy to gold, he offers a similar paradigm for the growth of digital currencies.

Currency enthusiasts will come away with a comprehensive understanding of the historical foundation of our economic system. Why modern money is rigidly entrenched despite its infamy. How different CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies) and cryptocurrencies will interact within our collective monetary future.

One of the best crypto books about history of money.

The Future of Money: How the Digital Revolution Is Transforming Currencies and Finance, by Eswar S. Prasad (2021)

This crypto book gives an overview of how financial change in the era of cash has led to the rise of cryptocurrencies. The world of finance is in the midst of a significant changes that will influence companies and the entire financial world. The transformation of money will fundamentally change how practically everyone lives.

As the author explains in this crypto book, the revolution in modern technology is seeking to redefine the very concept of money with cryptocurrencies. Unbundling its functions as an independent unit of account, medium of exchange, and store of value. The outcome could be a greater efficiency and flexibility to the market needs of different consumers and greater market access for people who don't have any bank accounts at all.

The Future of Money was praised as one of the best crypto books on Amazon.

CryptoDad: The Fight for the Future of Money, by J. Christopher Giancarlo (2021)

Giancarlo's life story is marked by his experiences as a Wall Street trader. In order to explore the workings of the trading markets, he advocated for the CFTC to recognize their digitization.

Giancarlo has received significant public attention especially on Twitter, where he introduced his ideas about the continuously growing opportunities in the crypto world. What he basically did in the past to analyse the technical details of the market and make relevant assumptions.

In the books you will find comprehensive analysis of social change and its impact on lives in the global marketplace. How regulators are rethinking the way the legal system responds to technological development. How a traditional financial organizations need an overhaul, revitalizing our belief in free market innovations.

What Are The Top Crypto Books For Beginners?

Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain 101, by Goffredo Righi Schwammer (2022)

It's vital that we gain the greatest possible insight into the full scope of the most recent financial revolution, as it's happening now.

Cryptocurrencies exploded in popularity in 2017, with the total value of all cryptocurrencies reaching nearly $830 billion by the end of the year. The increase in price was due, in part, to the explosive growth of initial coin offerings (ICOs), where startups issue their own cryptocurrencies in order to raise money.

Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain 101 offers insight into the most important historical events of crypto along with the most recent topics like NFTs and Metaverse connected to blockchain technologies.

This book explains current market trends and the factors driving cryptocurrencies' values. You'll learn how to strategically invest in your portfolio, depending on your specific level of risk.

The Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking, by Saifedean Ammous (2018)

While Bitcoin is a fairly new to our society, its alleged problem is better understood in the context of human history. Transferring value across space and time. The author follows a captivating journey through the history of technologies performing the functions of money from settling disputes through the exchange of limestones and seashells, to metals, coins, the gold standard, and paper money.

Bitcoin is an open source, peer-to-peer program of computer code that serves as a tool for converting electrical energy and processors into verifiable records. Because users do not need trust in any authorities or infrastructure, they can use the Internet to negotiate with various individuals online. Thereby allowing them to use digital currencies in the same way that people use cash.

At the end of the book, the author attempts to answer the most important questions connected to this technology. Is this only a hype? Can authorities or countries really kill this technology, do they need to shut this down?

What Are The Top Crypto Books For Traders?

The Only Cryptocurrency Investing Book You'll Ever Need, by Freeman Publications (2022)

Without the a doubt buying crypto assets is the act of investing in crypto. And yes there are a lot of people who made fortunes from it. But old myths disappeared quickly and professionalism is essential when we are speaking about crypto trading.

In this book you will learn the red flags when investing in altcoins, tips for future investments. How to identify scams, new trends in the crypto world like DeFi 2.0. The book includes a lot of practical parts, and tried to keep reader friendly without introducing the core concepts in the first hundred pages.

This cryptocurrency book is great for starting investors to gain information before putting any penny on your crypto wallet.

What Are The Top Crypto Books on NFTs?

The NFT Handbook: How to Create, Sell and Buy Non-Fungible Tokens, by Matt Fortnow, QuHarrison Terry (2021)

An NFT is a digital or tokenized asset that serves as a non-fungible replacement for real-world assets. A very detailed guide on how to create, buy, and sell NFTs, without the need for a technical background.

Step by step instructions on how to create NFTs, including what kinds of content to use. Where to source content, how to add artistic design, how to write the NFT’s description and add optional unlockable content.

The Bridge Family Saga Book 1

The Bridge family is about to face their toughest test in generations. One they may not all survive.

Albert Bridge's love story with Gloria begins on a high note, but fate has different plans when duty calls him away from his bride. As he finds himself thrust into the chaos of the Pacific theater during WWII, their enduring bond is put to the test.

Blue Hills follows the Bridges through the war-torn days to the vibrant era of the 1950s. While love may face its share of trials, and the shadows of a criminal underworld loom, the heart of this family beats strong. With laughter as their armor and unity as their shield, they demonstrate that no matter how daunting the odds, family bonds can conquer all.

Blue Hills is a reminder that even the faintest glimmer of humor and the warmth of togetherness can pierce through, the bleakest of times. Join the Bridges on a journey that promises to touch your heart and leave you with a renewed appreciation for the resilience of the human spirit.

What Are The Most Awaited Upcoming Book Releases? (Updated Daily)

What is it about a new book that makes my heart race?

Maybe it's the anticipation of finding out what is the next “big” story, or the excitement of discovering a new favorite. Whatever it is, I can't help but get swept up in the hype.

I love going to book signings and hearing from the author when will be his or her upcoming releases. It's like getting a little peak behind the curtain, and I always find myself wanting to know more.

Why Are Upcoming Book Releases Special?

Book reviews will never tell you the story

You know the feeling when you order a best-seller book with thousands of reviews on Amazon, and the book simply don't fit to your taste. 

Reviews might give you a glimpse into what the book is about or what the reviewer thought of it, but they can't capture the essence of the story itself. This is why I feel sometimes an upcoming book title without any review could catch my sympathy better than books with thousands of reviews. 

That's not to say that reviews are useless – on the contrary, they can be quite helpful in deciding whether or not a particular book is for you. But sometimes the best selection is when you read zero opinion about an upcoming book, just the description or a short excerpt. 

First time authors with fresh ideas: the author's first time sharing their ideas

With so many debut authors publishing fresh and innovative books, it can be hard to keep track of all the upcoming releases.

Whether it is a story about a young girl learning to become an assassin, or a group of friends trying to stop a collapse of our civilization, these books are sure to entertain readers of all ages.

I like to select new unique ideas. I love branching out and trying something different. By constantly seeking out new information and experiences, we can expand our horizons and learn new things. This can make us more well-rounded individuals even in a spiritual manner. 

New perspectives: different points of view from different authors

Every day, new books are released on a variety of social topics. These books can provide readers with insightful perspectives and important information that can help to create change. A few of the social topics that gained traction in the last years were MeToo movement, Black Lives Matter, inequality and the impact of Covid. 

One great way to gain different perspectives is to read books by authors from different parts of the world. For example, if you're interested in learning about the American Revolution, you might read a history book by an American author, as well as a book by a British author who has a different perspective on same historical period.

You can also diversify by reading books about different genres. If you're interested in romance novels, for example, try reading a romantic mystery next. Not only will this expand your satisfaction, but it will also keep things interesting! This is why I enjoy reading different spiritual books both from Christian, Buddhist and new age authors. 

Discovery: finding new books that you would have never found

There are countless upcoming books being released every year that you would have never found if it wasn't introduced to you. Discovery is a great feeling we (people) are seekers, we are into new books and stories. You can find new books by browsing through different genres or categories, or simply just pick a random from upcoming ones in your favorite genre. No matter how you find new books, discovery is a great way to expand your reading list.
