These coaches will motivate you to give up everything- even your life.

Nina loves using her social media platform to educate people about scams around the world. When Bribre, the clothing multi-level marketing company, falls apart, she’s ready to declare victory. That is until she realized that only Patty, a former consultant, jumped to a new company and is claiming to be a marketing guru.

Intrigued, Nina shifts her investigation to focus on Patty’s new coaching empire hoping to find evidence of a scam. It doesn’t take long for her to discover, the scam is only scratching the surface. The deeper Nina dives, the more sources come forward, connecting her to research done by those in hiding. Her growing obsession puts everyone at risk, especially herself.

What will Nina discover the deeper she digs?

She’s lured deeper into the organization as new discoveries raise more questions. Her fellow team members are the ones who suffer and disappear because of Fay’s determination to reveal the sinister truth to the world.

Underneath the library is a secret that enslaves them all…

Discovering every person who’s ever worked there was never heard from again, Jessica puts out a call for help to her readers to share their stories of the dark facility. But when one of her sources also disappears, the guilt-ridden scribe realizes the only way to crack her community’s conspiracy of silence is to venture into the haunted halls herself.

What will Jessica discover once inside the library?

Help Wanted: New Devil

The Enduring - 1

Even the afterlife gets decided in a committee.

The afterlife is more like a large retirement community than a fiery pit where even collecting souls has been automated. Death has nothing on his to-do list until his co-worker, the Devil, tells him she’s retiring. For years he’s relied on her to keep the ever-growing population of Patala running smoothly. After five hundred years, he needs to replace the most important woman in his life.

The only good thing is that the hiring process can’t kill him.
