Echoes of the Unseen:

A Memoir of Life, Love, and

the Presence of the Dead

By Viola Chancellor

Viola Chancellor was born into a world that told her who she had to be. But the spirit world showed her who she truly was. Born in 1942 in Gadsden, Alabama, during the height of segregation, Viola was raised by a powerful matriarch whose faith, discipline, and strength shaped her foundation. From an early age, she learned to survive through racism, hardship, love, motherhood, and the constant demands of a world that rarely made space for Black Women to rest. But survival was only part of her story. Hidden beneath her everyday life was a terrifying, undeniable truth: She could see and sense the dead. What her mother called "haints" became a lifelong burden, one that followed her through love, marriage, military life, motherhood, and a decades-long career in the U.S. Postal Service. For years, she wrestled with fear, silence, and isolation... until her gift forced her into a deeper spiritual awakening. Her journey led her through: The structure of the Catholic Church The social and spiritual reckoning of the 1992 Los Angeles Uprising The rediscovery of African spiritual systems and Kemetic wisdom A powerful reclamation of ancestral knowledge, identity, and divine self Through the sacred teachings of Auset, Ausar, and Heru, she uncovers a truth long hidden beneath history-that transformation, resurrection, and divine power have always lived within her. "Echoes of the Unseen" is more than a memoir. It is a testimony of spiritual awakening, generational healing, and the courage to embrace a gift the world doesn't understand. This book is for readers who are drawn to: Spiritual memoirs and true life stories African spirituality and ancestral healing Psychic and intuitive experiences Black history and generational resilience Stories of faith, transformation, and self-discovery Some gifts are given. Others are inherited. But the most powerful ones are the ones we finally accept. Echoes of the Unseen: A Memoir of Life, Love, and the Presence of the Dead offers a radical vision of self-love, demonstrating that true spiritual awakening requires confronting personal history, challenging institutionalized belief, and ultimately, accepting the divine spirit that resides within.

A House of Silent Lies: A Classic Victorian Cozy Mystery

 

A House of Silent Lies:

A Classic Victorian Cozy Mystery

“A Manor's Secrets, A Century of Deceit. A Widow's Courage.” It was on an autumn afternoon, golden yet heavy with the foreboding hush of evening, that Rosalind Harrington stepped from her carriage and crossed the threshold of Montrose Manor, a place she had once called home. She has been summoned home to fulfill the dying requests of Lady Beatrice Montrose. In the serene yet shadowed corridors of Montrose Manor, an estate of grand but fading splendor, widowed Rosalind Harrington, a woman of wit and quiet strength, finds herself entangled in a mystery that threatens to unravel the very fabric of the Montrose family's past. A cryptic letter, a missing woman, and whispers of a scandal long buried in silence stir the still air of her ancestral home. As Rosalind treads the treacherous waters of propriety and deception, she must determine whom she can trust. She must walk delicately between duty and betrayal, discerning with care the faces of those who would aid her and those who would undo her. Rosalind, with the aid of the charismatic Inspector Dexter Cross and Mrs. Lumsden, the devoted companion and caretaker of Lady Beatrice Montrose, must unravel a truth that challenges societal norms and exposes the dark underbelly of the aristocracy. Together, they traverse a world filled with hidden passages, coded letters, and delicate yet dangerous meetings with Lord Harold Montrose. . ⚜⚜⚜︎ Set against the refined and unforgiving social landscape of London, “A House of Silent Lies” is a tale of secrets, duty, and the unyielding pursuit of truth, written in a style reminiscent of the classics.

Agentic Software: The App Layer Wins

     

Agentic Software: The App Layer Wins:

How One Founder Built an AI Workforce That Runs a Real Company

The software era just ended. Here's what replaces it—and how to own it.

For thirty years, business software did one thing: wait for you. You opened the app, clicked the buttons, chased the tasks. That era is over. The next generation of software doesn't wait—it works.

In Agentic Software, Contractor+ founder Justin Smith sends a dispatch from a few years into the future: a real, revenue-generating company increasingly run by a governed AI workforce—a marketing team, a support team, and a success team, all built as software and directed from a chat window while the founder sleeps.

This isn't theory, and it isn't hype. It's a working field guide and a live case study—hand-drawn and plain-spoken—that shows the exact architecture behind a company that markets, sells, supports, and improves on its own, and gets measurably smarter every night.

You'll learn how to:

• Stop operating software and start directing it—the shift from tools to teammates.

• Build the one asset that compounds: a shared "brain" your AI never forgets.

• Draw an org chart of agents—managers, specialists, and validators that scale output without scaling headcount.

• Keep AI aggressive and safe at the same time with an autonomy ladder, a confidence gate, and a kill switch.

• Run the whole thing affordably by routing every task to the cheapest model that can do it well.

• Turn one painful workflow into your first agent—with a concrete 90-day plan you can start Monday.

The winners of the AI era won't be the companies with the biggest model. They'll be the incumbents who move first—the operators who own the data, the workflow, and the customer trust, and wrap a workforce around them before the competitor down the street does.

If you run a business, lead a team, or simply want to understand where software is heading, this is the playbook for the agentic era.

Start with one workflow. Earn trust one rung at a time. Let the loop compound.

Includes original hand-drawn diagrams and a step-by-step blueprint.

The Perpetual Raise:

A Crowdfunding Strategy for Founders, Operators, and Investors Who Care About the Payday

Everyone celebrates the raise. Almost nobody asks the only question that matters.

Did the capital create real enterprise value — or did the round just create a higher number on paper?

The startup world worships the mega-round: raise as much as you can, as early as you can, at the highest valuation, from the biggest names. The Perpetual Raise is the opposite discipline — a capital operating system for founders who want to keep control and actually reward the people who backed them.

The sequence is simple and ruthless: Raise. Deploy. Prove. Report. Reprice. Repeat. Exit. Raise the smallest meaningful amount that funds the next milestone. Deploy it fast into the highest-confidence use. Prove the result. Then — and only then — reopen at better terms.

Justin Smith built Contractor+ on under $750,000 raised from the crowd and zero venture capital. In this book he shows founders, operators, and everyday investors how the new rules of capital actually work:

• The real legal lanes — Reg CF, Reg A, and Reg D 506(c) — explained at a strategy level, without the legalese.

• Raise-to-deploy vs. raise-to-survive: the moral line most founders blur — and how to write a use-of-proceeds you can be graded on.

• The Iceberg of Capital Cost — the platform fee you see, and the interest, dilution, investor-acquisition cost, and control you don't.

• Eleven real crowdfunding case studies — RAD Intel, Legion M, RISE Robotics, Miso, Gumroad, Monogram (crowd → Nasdaq → acquisition), Boxabl, Knightscope, Arrive AI, BackerKit, Solectrac — the wins, the warnings, and the line between a markup and a payday.

• The Investor-Whole Doctrine: customers first, investors second, founders last — and why that order is a point of pride.

• The Milestone Stack and a five-year architecture for building a company an acquirer actually wants.

This isn't hype. It's a field manual — hand-drawn diagrams, honest numbers, and a doctrine you can run this quarter.

Investors don't get paid from screenshots. They get paid from cash. Go earn your next round.

Justice (The Justice Trilogy)

Author and playwright Dyanna Morrison is bringing renewed attention to the enduring principles of the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights through Justice, the first installment in her acclaimed trilogy of stage plays published in book format. Available on Amazon, the award-recognized work combines courtroom drama with documented historical dialogue to encourage thoughtful discussion about the First Amendment, civic responsibility, and the continuing relevance of America's founding ideals as the nation marks its 250th anniversary of independence.

Justice follows newly appointed Judge Grace Porter as she presides over two contemporary First Amendment cases inspired by real events, including the January 20, 2017 inauguration protests and the Charlottesville Unite the Right Rally of August 2017. Throughout the proceedings, America's founding fathers observe the courtroom proceedings through one-way windows, offering commentary drawn largely from their documented writings and debates during the drafting of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

This distinctive narrative approach creates a conversation between the nation's founding era and present-day legal interpretation. Readers are invited to consider how constitutional freedoms continue to influence modern society while reflecting on the responsibilities that accompany those rights.

The foundation of Justice reflects more than twenty-five years of research by Dyanna into the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the historical debates surrounding America's founding. Originally written as a screenplay, the project evolved into a stage play before ultimately being published in book format, allowing readers worldwide to experience its thought-provoking message.

Justice is available in hardcover, paperback, and eBook editions through Amazon. Readers interested in constitutional history, courtroom drama, and historically inspired theatre can learn more by visiting the book's Amazon listing: https://www.amazon.com/Justice-Dyanna-Morrison/dp/1735911615.

The work also examines the historical context surrounding the founders, acknowledging their aspirations, imperfections and interpersonal dynamics, while encouraging readers to evaluate history through careful study and informed discussion. By presenting documented dialogue alongside contemporary legal issues, Justice offers an engaging reading experience for audiences interested in history, law, theatre, and public affairs.

Justice has earned recognition as a finalist in several respected literary competitions, including the Book Excellence Awards, National Indie Excellence Awards, International Book Awards, and Best Book Awards in the Performing Arts category. These honors reflect the book's strong writing, creative concept, and thoughtful presentation of constitutional themes. 

The premise for Justice began with a simple question that has stayed with Dyanna for years: What would the framers who wrote the Constitution think if they could witness today's legal proceedings? Would they agree and does it matter?  Dyanna hopes this story encourages readers to reflect on Americans' shared history and the principles that continue to guide the foundation of American democracy.

Esmerelda's Triumph

  

Esmerelda's Triumph

        Esmerelda, a lonely elf maid seeks to rule her own destiny in spite of a king, a wily gnome wizard, some gnolls, a dragon and worst of all, her own devilish sister or forfeit life's game. She hides in a dreary waste called the Black Moor partly due to her own shyness and partly because of the king who hunts all practitioners of magic. He has blamed the use of magic for a drought that plagues his kingdom. Esmerelda has been taught some magic by her adopted mother making her a novice and a target of the king.

Amid all this, she naturally longs for love and dreams of a childhood crush who will come and defeat the king and whisk her away to his castle. In spite of her shyness, she finally, makes the decision to take matters into her own hands and seek out her own destiny.

An obstacle, a ghost from her past long thought to be dead, has arisen from its grave to haunt her and crush what remains of her self-confidence. A clan of vicious gnolls complicates her task and have brought a dwarf-sized bundle of trouble who knows the ghost.

A pushy gnome and a scaly lizard arrive to offer her hope, but at a high price. To mitigate the cost, she commits to a brazen but risky endeavor that could prove to be fatal.

MIND: PSYCHOLOGY, THE UNTOLD STORY OF HOW YOUR MIND WORKS...

         

MIND: PSYCHOLOGY, THE UNTOLD STORY OF HOW YOUR MIND WORKS...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1736002554

This is a book about the most important discoveries in psychology. Not just the gnawed bones of the studies in a textbook, but what has been left out of what you think you know. From Genius to Suicide Bombers, from Science to Sex, all the best they never told you in school. 362 Pages, 7.5X9, fully illustrated

• The Brain: How experience controls the biology of the brain: Adrenalin, Cortisol, and Neurotransmitters flood the brain in response to words, Hollywood horror movies, anxiety-producing thoughts, and the girls shrieking “Witch, Witch!” at the Salem witch trial...

• Quest for the Mind Code; how the mind is programmed by the environment.

• New Evidence: How learning "hardwires" the brain for language, emotion, culture, sex....

• MInd Control is an everyday occurrence. Psychology’s General Theory of Relativity; Kamikaze pilots, suicide bombers, celebrity, Tank Killing dogs, sex, and Sacred Cows.  

•The success of Genius is not about the brain, it is about learning how to think. How the greatest minds in history made their discoveries, in their own words.

• Cogito, ergo, cogito cogito: I think, therefore, I think, I think. The fact that we can think has created the illusion that we do think. Test yourself.  Perception determines our reality.

• What the greatest minds in psychology know about how the mind works. Understanding how the mind works gives us the potential to control our own mind, just as Einstein’s understanding of the atom gave us the potential to control the atom. We are far behind in that understanding.
