Home is Where the Hummingbird Lives

 


Home Is Where The Hummingbird Lives: 

Surviving Homeownership



One Woman. One Large Bank. One Extraordinary Outcome. 

Home is Where the Hummingbird Lives is the true story of a single mother who found herself unable to pay her mortgage after being struck by someone driving blindly through an intersection. This accident would be a swift blow to Sophia’s business and change the trajectory of her life. On the brink of losing her home, she fought Wells Fargo Bank for over half a decade in an effort to receive the lender support promised after the big bank bailout. What Sophia found through her years as a crusader for the American homeowner was a maze of deceit, lies, and banking transgressions that would only be uncovered by her battle, and subsequent win, against Wells Fargo Bank.

This raw and empowering memoir details her journey as she uncovers the truth about the largest banks in America and shines a light on the many individuals who fed off the systemic looting being carried out by the big banks. There is simply not enough information out there to help the people of this country understand the long ranging devastation caused by the housing crisis—we the people did not just temporarily bail the banks out of the catastrophe of 2008—the taxpayers are now in a constant stasis of being drained by The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act. The bailout is ongoing, and the banks are earmarked to receive additional trillions. Few realize how little the big banks were regulated or how easy it would be for them to repeat history. This book offers concrete solutions to help individuals and families cope with economic uncertainty and mortgage misconduct woven together by Sophia’s determination and resilience as she fought to save her home. 

“The author shares her vulnerability as a woman and a mother, in the midst of her drawn-out home loan modification battle with Wells Fargo Bank. By the end of this book, you will be inspired by her story—you might even come to the realization that you also will fight for what is right in the future.” - Dixie Crane 

“Hindsight guides us into the future, so be aware of the lessons learned in Home is Where the Hummingbird Lives. The greatest lessons learned are accomplished through living and the wisdom provided by those who willingly share their past.”
- John (Jack) W. Galardi, Esq.

The Big Black Book of Sex Positions

  



Take Your Sex Life From Boring To Mind-Blowing in a Few More Than 69 Moves



IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS SEX, BASIC AND PRIMAL IN ITS EARLY STAGES, OR SO WE THINK. . . . Perhaps modern society is simply unaware of the depth of sexual understanding our ancestors truly possessed. Maybe modern society is actually relearning the sexual secrets that have been lost over the years. We can look back to the Kama Sutra and see that thousands of years ago, the various sexual positions were given extreme importance. There are even ancient texts that suggest certain positions and angles of penetration can improve your health and even fight disease—more than just physical pleasure. However, intense physical pleasure is an excellent place to start.

In The Confines of Existence

 


In the Confines of Existence: 

A horror anthology


Horrors lurks behind the grand curtains of life. Would ourselves remain if we pierced beyond? 

"In the Confines of existence" is a character driven narrative, inspired by the works of H.P Lovecraft, Shirley Jackson, and Thomas Tyron. An anthology of horror tales composed of three short stories and a novella. Through terror they decompose some of our tenets and beliefs within a whirlwind of psychological and existential dread. A diverse arrange of disturbing situations that plunges the characters deeper into the unfathomable abyss.

"...the nightmarish nights of David had returned. But this time they were not about the insignificance of men, or their trifling conflicts, they were nightmares of an infinite void. Betwixt a space deep and unreachable..."

Zodiac's Toy

 



Zodiac's toy: 

Do you believe in astrology? No? You soon will



A trip to the funfair sounds like a good day out doesn't it?

Not for Ray Trent, dragged along by his sister's bridesmaids. Still, to show willing, he has a go on the zodiac oracle booth.

He shouldn't.

Sometimes prophecies have a habit of coming true. Yet Ray doesn't believe in astrology, but the zodiac believes in him, and decides to play a game. Compete to see who can get him to believe in them. He becomes their toy. Their piece on the giant board-game.

Sometimes not believing can have brutal consequences.

Life on Mars / Black Star

 



The novels that finally breath life into the characters created by David Bowie are finally here. In a unique move that Bowie himself would have been proud of, both books have been simultaneously released. 

Unique in literature, these two freestanding novels alter the readers experience dependent on which book they read first. Being in uncharted territory Michael J Dawson said the only term he could come up with was ‘twins’.

“David Bowie was unique and so is this project,” says Michael, “It’s fitting that his fingerprints would be on it.”

After years of work why is it he is currently allowing the books to be read for free via his website?

“That’s a difficult question to answer, I suppose when you make a gift for someone then you want them to have it,” he said. “It’s kinda like that.”


‘Life on Mars’ and ‘Blackstar’ are available exclusively on Amazon alternatively you can read them free for a short time by visiting www.michaeljdawson.com

Black Star - A team hitch a ride on a cruise ship to Mars. They intend to recover an element unique in the universe known as Black Star. Three men plan to steal this priceless artefact, but not for financial gain.

Life on Mars - A dying man’s only hope is to commit suicide and enter cryogenic suspension. Thawed after 500 years he learns he has the means to return to his own time, in the same way he has a thousand times before.

Heroes of MidAria: Heaven's Demons

 



Heroes of MidAria: Heaven's Demons

In the strange and magical world of the Middle Realms,
there are many diverse races of people that inhabit the lands. Humans,
elves, dwarves, and plenty more civil creatures thrive on this planet. 
The different races are commonly viewed on a spectrum, and at the 
very ends of it, there are seraphs and demons. One exalted, and one 
feared. Every group in the middle of the gradient strives to be like the 
angels, as they are said to be pure-hearted and loving. Unfortunately, 
what people know about these beings almost always comes from what 
they have been taught rather than based on experience. Because of this, 
it is often preached that a person can only be either good or bad, and 
anything in between isn’t relevant.

It wasn’t easy for Dacitrynn, who grew up in a very uncomfortable 
spot his whole life. Being a crossbreed of an angel and a demon isn’t 
something that is welcomed in the world, especially since it is 
forbidden. After a lonely childhood of growing up as an outcast with 
the seraphs, it is finally time for Daci’s life to change when he is 
banished from the High Lands following a public fight with his 
stepbrother that grew violent. However, even though Dacitrynn no 
longer lives with the angels, society below proves itself to be just as -if 
not even more cruel- than his birthplace, and hopelessness soon leaves 
him feeling defeated. Even if things eventually start to calm, there is 
always another stressor that makes its way into the half-demon’s life, 
and at the end of the day, he can only find himself wandering back to 
the same two questions that have burdened him since the day of his 
birth: 

Is there truly a place for such a horrible monster like him in the world, 
and what use could his existence possibly serve?
