A #1 KINDLE POLITICAL HUMOR BESTSELLER! Uh-oh! Newly elected President Trump is ill prepared for the 3 a.m. phone call he receives from his National Security Adviser Sean Hannity alerting him to a nuclear strike in Canada's Northwest Territories. Taking advice from Secretary of State Sarah Palin, the sleep-deprived Trump makes an impetuous decision that could set the world on course for nuclear annihilation. Fortunately, Trump is soon informed that help is on hand: "You know how there’s The Apprentice and Celebrity Apprentice, sir? It turns out that as well as the CIA, there's also the Celebrity CIA."Headed by Jodie Foster, the Celebrity Intelligence Agency (CELIA) sends globetrotting agent Kim Kardashian to London, then Russia, and finally the Arctic Circle as she races against time to resolve the crisis.With a cast that includes everyone from Jesse Ventura to Justin Bieber, Rick Santorum to Maria Sharapova, and, of course, a reality TV star even more powerful than Trump himself, KIM KARDASHIAN SAVES THE WORLD (AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP NEARLY ENDS IT) is both a fast-paced read and an urgent warning: “For people not paying close attention, the idea of voting for Donald Trump may have great appeal, if only for the fun of watching him play at being President,” says author Richard Hine. “I wanted to write a story that reminds people to take this year’s election very seriously, because the next President is sure to face challenges that are sudden, unexpected, and terrifying.” UPDATE: Between Election Day and Inauguration Day 2017, 100% of all author proceeds from this ebook will be donated to The Trevor Project (http://www.thetrevorproject.org/), the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ+ youth.

I fell in love with Albert Einstein when I was researching his life and his speeches for my book "Words That Shook The World: 100 Years of Unforgettable Speeches and Events". And his iconic formula, E=MC2 kept running through my mind. I even put a little sticker of it on the dashboard of my car and had this unmistakable feeling that there was something more to it, even more than what had already made it the most famous and perhaps most important equation in history.And in this little children's book, which is really not just for our new generation but for a new generation of thought about religion and spirituality, there might actually be found the fulfillment of Dr. Einstein's greatest quest. Albert Einstein, publicly dedicated his life's work to finding "A Unified Field Theory" or, "A Theory of Everything". In other words, Einstein wanted to be able to identify how everything was related to everything else in physics and with all of the forces of the Universe.I am not a scientist and, frankly, did everything I could to stay way from math and physics courses in high school and college. But now I am completely fascinated by science and believe that what is presented in this simple book is, in some ways, exactly what my hero, Dr. Einstein, was looking for. It presents an interpretation of his own work that perhaps he didn't reflect on but which can fairly answer two critical questions: "How is everything united?" or "How do we describe or understand the uniting force in the Universe?" and an even more important unification... "How can we human beings unite our species when different religions pull us so far apart and, as such, actually threaten the the survival of our species?"We need more than a unified field theory for physicists. We need a unified theory uniting all peoples and religions... a "theory of everything" at least in one sense, that can become a foundation that is as deep and as profound as the most powerful religious dogma. The scientific "New Definition of God, if properly understood, can do that.E=MC2 is our shared bond. The God-Force" that it describes is equally inside the cells and atoms of our Muslim brothers and sisters as it is our Christian, Jewish and all others. And it it also inside, in exactly the same way, each and every one of our animal friends an plant and mineral cohabitants in the Universe that came from, and still exists as, the Energy that Einstein's formula so elegantly and simply describes. A gram of your body and a gram of your fiercest enemy's body share EXACTLY the same quantity and nature of God-Force energy. No religion or philosophy or national borders can ever change that. The energy energy described and exactly defined by E=MC2 is the thing that UNIFIES all humanity and, far beyond that, all matter in the Universe! I choose to call that energy, that force, "God." So, let's explore the science with our children. Let's "do the math", transcend the differences of our different philosophies and beliefs and unify around this magnificent formula that celebrates that thing that unifies all things... the energy that is all things. Dr. Einstein would want that.ABOUT THE AUTHOROver the past 30 years Richard has re-defined human beings' greatest fear, Public Speaking, in his prestigious coffee table book, "Words That Shook The World", in over 100 lecture tours in 45 countries, giving Keynote Addresses on "The 7 Secrets of Public Speaking", conducting workshops and private sessions for Presidents, Prime Ministers, Presidential Candidates, CEO's and even Princess Diana.Driven, starting at the age of 6, to figure out God and the Universe, Richard has spent his entire life studying religions and spirituality. In this book, he shares his decades of discovery, his love and passion about the Universe and his hero, Albert Einstein, seeking to forge a new understanding and a unified, unifying definition of the ancient concept we call "God".

Elizabeth I stands in the English imagination for one of the formative phases of English history. Her reign saw England transformed, at her command, from a Catholic to a Protestant country, with incalculable consequences for the history of Europe and of the world - starting with the attempted invasion by the Spanish Armada, beaten off by the Queen's legendary naval captains.Richard Rex highlights the vivid and contrary personality of a Queen who could both baffle and bedazzle her subjects, her courtiers, and her rivals: at one moment flirting outrageously with a favourite or courting some foreign prince, and at another vowing perpetual virginity; at one time agonising over the execution of her cousin, Mary Queen of Scots, then ordering the slaughter of hundreds of poor men after a half-cock rebellion. Too many biographies of Elizabeth merely perpetuate the flattery she enjoyed from her courtiers, this biography also reflects more critical voices, such as those of the Irish, the Catholics and those who lived on the wrong side of the emerging North/South divide. To them she showed a different face.The Kindle Edition of "Elizabeth I: Fortune's Bastard?" contains 80 black and white and 20 colour illustrations

Everything changes when you’re thirteen! When they were in sixth grade, Calista Snipe and her best friends, Skyler McCray and Tabitha Tyler, narrowly escaped being kidnapped by Flash and Joint, two subordinates of crime boss, Wee Willie Sturgis. That horrific event is behind the children as they now prepare to enter Parkington Junior High. They soon find that the junior high school presents its own set of challenges and hurdles. Four elementary schools send students to Park Junior. The kaleidoscope of new faces, seventh and eighth grade students, is at first overwhelming. In addition to the familiar but always stress producing tasks encountered with academic assignments, Cali, Sky, and Tab must now make new friends, must take on new activities, and deal with the tantalizing and embarrassing excitement of their budding sexuality. The three friends are soon involved with eighth grader Talia Murphy, who helps a classmate expand her junior high drug trade; with Bill Baxter, who has an exceptional athletic talent and a keen interest in romance with almost every girl he meets; with Melanie Kent, a girl blessed both with physical precociousness and extremely affluent parents; with Leantos and Lee Ann Mosley, eighth grade twins who also happen to become Cali’s, Tab’s, and Sky’s first African-American friends; and with Pablo Cruz, who is using amphetamines to enhance his athletic skills and is involved with older youths who often attempt to manipulate younger students into providing sexual benefits. In the meantime, the children’s past nemeses, senior high student, Carl Huff, and Wee Willie Sturgis continue to practice their illegal dealings. Is it possible that the criminal behavior of Huff and Sturgis will once more impact the lives of Calista, Tabitha, and Skyler?
