Exploring the complexities of human behavior is always fascinating. "Outsmarting the Sociopath Next Door" opened my eyes to the hidden struggles many face. It’s a reminder of the strength we all possess in overcoming darkness. #booksky #books

Sociopaths often commit hidden domestic aggression, frequently abusing family members. Their callousness, linked to aggression and sadism, faces little legal consequence, encouraging repeated abusive behavior.

My new book, 'The Last Hope', is on Amazon at amzn.eu/d/aOoz680 in paperback or Kindle format.

A group of millennials set sail on a yachting vacation in the Mediterranean, to find themselves embroiled in a Russian state-sponsored art heist. An espionage thriller.

Once you've tasted #freedom...
grown up breathing in freedom
you can't relinquish it to fascism so easily
fascism tastes bitter and rancid
burns in the throat
poisons the heart
as you choke on the implications
of lost dreams
a last gasp
furthest thing from your mind
will the price of eggs

Just finished reading Orbital by Samantha Harvey.

Wow!!

It's like a long reflective poem of a day in the life of six astronauts on the ISS. It touches humanity, family, purpose, perspective & much more.

It's a short book, but often I was reading sections twice to soak it in.
