Abused, Used, Broken, Spat Out! : The complete memoir. by Peter Gates

Abused, Used, Broken, Spat Out! : The complete memoir. by Peter Gates

Abused, Used, Broken, Spat Out!: The Complete Memoir
This is not a story of triumph. It is a document of survival.
Peter Gates grew up in the schemes of Glasgow during the Thatcher years — moving between schools, moving between houses, never long enough to settle. At nine years old, something happened that changed the architecture of everything that followed. It went on for years. Nobody asked the right questions. Nobody knew to look.
By sixteen he was out of school and pulled into a world that recognised what he could do and used it. The drug world didn’t ask for qualifications. It simply needed men who could read a room, hold their nerve, and never write anything down. He was all of those things. He survived it. He got out.
What came next looked like a normal life. A wife. Children. A career in telecoms that took him from the bottom of a call centre to managing contracts worth hundreds of millions. Nobody in that world knew where he had come from. He made sure of it.
But the body keeps score.
By his early thirties the pain had started. Not dramatically — just present, every day, building. Years of appointments, referrals, medications tried and removed. Eventually a diagnosis that named the symptoms without explaining the cause. Then the job gone. Then the medical retirement. Then the dark rooms and the Monday mornings and the pills counted out in the right order.
This book is two memoirs in one volume. The first was written in fragments — in a car on the school run, on a bed when the pain allowed. Raw, unfiltered, out of order. Because that is how trauma lives. The second was written in seventy-two hours straight because the first left too much unsaid. Together they form the complete story — the abuse, the conditioning, the underworld, the escape, the collapse, and what remains.
What remains is this: a father who stayed. A cycle that stopped. A truth that refused to stay buried.
This is not inspiration. It is documentation. And it is the full story.

A Most Unusual Relationship by Herbert Sennett and Alan Sherman

A Most Unusual Relationship by Herbert Sennett and Alan Sherman

A Most Unusual Relationship traces the lives of two men from totally different backgrounds who were able to set aside their differences to serve effectively as chaplains in the US Army Reserves. That professional relationship turned into a serious friendship that lasted for nearly forty years. Alan Sherman, a Reform Rabbi with a strong “liberal” political viewpoint, received his commission in the Army after graduating Rabbinical School. Herb Sennett, born and raised in a strong Evangelical Protestant household with strong Republican political views received his commission after graduating The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He had previously served as an infantry officer who resigned his commission upon completion of his six-year obligation under the draft. With that background, these two men met in 1985 when they both met as part of the same Army Reserve unity in West Palm Beach, Florida. Although both were a bit hesitant, they resolved to work together for the sake of the troops. When they received orders to active duty for Desert Shield/Storm in September 1990, they found themselves a room mates at Ft. Stewart, Georgia. During those first several months on active duty, Alan and Herb found that they both had a great deal in common besides their religious faith. The friendship began to blossom and was almost fully developed by May 1991 when they were both released from active duty. Their friendship continued to grow after they returned to West Palm Beach. What they went through together during that brief period sparked a friendship that has continued to not grow but to blossom. Decisions they made separately often pushed them together in an even deeper friendship on many levels. Their story is truly a must read about what can happen when people set aside their differences to serve a greater good for society.

Two Minutes by Michael Spring-Springer

Two Minutes by Michael Spring-Springer book cover

Two Minutes by Michael Spring-Springer

This story is far more concerned with the human heart than with technology alone. The book moves across Earth and space while constantly circling one central idea that time is limited, and what we choose to do with it defines us. The narrative asks big questions about love, power, belief, and morality, yet it never feels distant or abstract. Instead, it feels personal, almost urgent, as if the clock is always ticking in the background.

Felicity Bennet immediately stood out to me as a powerful and refreshing protagonist. Her longing to touch the cosmos felt symbolic of every woman who has ever been told to stay within boundaries set by others. I was deeply invested in her journey, not just as an astronaut, but as a woman pushing back against inequality and expectation. Her relationship with her father adds emotional depth, grounding the story in tenderness and vulnerability even as it reaches for the stars.

I loved how Michael Spring-Springer blends emotion with intellect. Themes like gender imbalance, faith versus science, sexuality, and political manipulation are woven naturally into the plot rather than presented as lectures. The story challenges the idea of simple good and evil, showing instead how flawed, conflicted, and hopeful people really are. Every twist felt intentional, pushing me to reflect rather than just observe.

By the time I finished the book, I found myself lingering on its central question about final moments and lasting meaning. Two Minutes is not just about space or romance or ideology; it is about what remains when everything else falls away. It is thoughtful, bold, and emotionally resonant, and it stayed with me long after I turned the last page.

Quit Letting Everything Affect You- Unshackled by Dakota J Dawson

Quit Letting Everything Affect You- Unshackled by Dakota J Dawson

Are you tired of being a “human sponge”?

In a world that is louder and more chaotic than ever, many of us find ourselves trapped in an invisible cage—exhausted not from physical labor, but from carrying the weight of everyone else’s moods, expectations, and failures. If you are a chronic overthinker or a “people-pleaser” who feels like a radio tuned to every frequency at once, your empathy has likely become your greatest source of burnout.

It’s time to stop reflecting the chaos and start becoming the mountain.

Quit Letting Everything Affect You: Unshackled is a tactical manual for reclaiming your mental space. Blending grounded Stoic philosophy with modern psychological “circuit breakers,” this guide provides a step-by-step framework to achieve Emotional Sovereignty. Readers will learn how to:

Build an internal fortress that no one can enter without permission.

Master “Compassionate Detachment”—being kind without becoming a doormat.

Stop mental spirals before they start using immediate “break-glass” techniques.

Set digital and social boundaries that actually stick in 2026.

You don’t have to be cold to be strong. You just have to be unshackled. Your peace is not a luxury—it is your birthright.

AI Builds Itself: Recursive Self-Improvement in 2026 by H. Peter Alesso

The machines are already improving themselves. You just have not been told how fast.

In the spring of 2026, Claude began writing between seventy and ninety percent of the code used to train its own next version. AlphaEvolve spent over a year optimizing the training process for the very models that powered it, recovering enough wasted compute across Google’s global fleet to power a small country’s worth of servers. OpenAI’s Codex debugged the training pipeline that produced it. And a 630-line Python script showed that anyone with a single GPU could run autonomous AI research experiments overnight.

Oaths of Blood by Logan D. Irons

Oaths of Blood by Logan D. Irons

Jerusalem, 1099. The armies of Christendom have marched across the known world to claim the Holy City — and mercenary captain Robert Cutnose is in the belly of a siege tower when the walls finally fall. But what waits inside Jerusalem is far more terrifying than arrows and spears.
Attacked in the savage dark, Cutnose wakes with his throat torn out and something ancient crawling through his veins. He is no longer simply a soldier for hire. He is a pawn in the Noctis Bellum — an immortal war older than the Crusades itself — fought between a secret Order and the creatures they call the Hunted, over a relic of power neither side will surrender.
To reclaim his humanity, Cutnose must hunt down the man who turned him. With a secretive band of warriors at his side and enemies on every front, he crawls deeper into the shadows of a world he never knew existed — where the line between monster and man is razor thin, and loyalty is paid for in blood.
Gray heroes. Savage treachery. Valor and betrayal in equal measure.
Oaths of Blood is grimdark historical fantasy in the tradition of Joe Abercrombie, Bernard Cornwell, and John Gwynne — action-packed, brutal, and impossible to put down.
Only oaths made in blood survive.
