Living Intentionally by Viterose Van Huis

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CGWFSJMN

From an early age, we are influenced by many different voices that constantly suggest how to be more beautiful, healthy, and wealthy, making it challenging for us to set clear intentions for ourselves. Living intentionally means living a life of knowing who we are. We don’t have a life; we are life. All we need to do is trust our intentions and the enabling force that powers our intentions. In an inspiring guide, Elaine Van Huis shares insight into a multitude of life experiences both in Barbados and the United States as she learned the value of setting intentions and maintaining a positive mindset to achieve her goals—even during challenging times. As she reveals how she transformed into a wife, mother, and more, Elaine leads others through her lessons learned on her evolutionary journey as she attempted to stay present, visualize the best possible outcome to every situation, intentionally grow old, and move away from misguided and negative intentions. Living Intentionally shares the personal experiences of a lifelong learner who has navigated the twists and turns of life with purpose, grace, and peace to help others do the same. “This easily digested read is so important since it makes clear how this power we have in our own minds answers our collective human failure to reduce conflict and achieve more harmony in our world today.” —Richard Harrison

A Different Approach and Other Stories by Alex Grant

https://www.amazon.com/Different-Approach-Other-Stories-ebook/dp/B0FF3PZ1QT

What happens when the ordinary turns disturbingly extraordinary?

A Different Approach and Other Stories * is a darkly compelling collection of thought-provoking tales from author Alex Grant—stories that twist the familiar, challenge perception, and expose the fine line between normality and madness.

Each story explores the unsettling undercurrents of human nature and modern society. From moral experiments gone wrong to eerie childhood memories and the consequences of casual cruelty, Grant’s writing balances sharp satire with haunting realism. These are not tales of monsters—but of people, choices, and systems pushed to their logical extremes.

In this captivating collection, you’ll encounter:

A chilling new form of justice where punishment truly “fits the crime.”

A council worker who signs a seemingly routine contract with horrifying consequences.

A man haunted by a childhood vision he cannot explain.

Ordinary lives unravelling in unexpected, often darkly comic ways.

Grant’s stories are unnervingly plausible—anchored in everyday details yet spiraling into moral and psychological unease. Witty, unsettling, and profoundly human, A Different Approach and Other Stories invites readers to question not just what happens—but why.

If you enjoy the moral unease of Black Mirror, the dark irony of Roald Dahl’s Tales of the Unexpected, or the quiet dread of Ian McEwan’s early works, you’ll be riveted by Alex Grant’s unforgettable short fiction.

About the author

Alex loves reading novels, but having grown up in the punk era, he also values writing that is sharp, direct, and entertaining. However, his stories are far from the literary equivalent of a simple three-chord thrash. Instead, they are layered and thought-provoking, inviting multiple readings to fully appreciate their depth and complexity. An economist by profession, his interests span the criminal justice system, the spiritual dimension of life, and playing bass guitar. He also enjoys the croquet game as quintessentially English as it is vicious.
