The Explosive True Story of How an Internet Newbie Overcame Obstacles to Achieve Explosive Success Online ...And How His Confessions Can Help You Succeed Too!

The most incredible story literally just fell from the sky. And no one was around to see it except for Hannah Gray. But for an aspiring journalist, being the only one to witness four young aliens crash to Earth is a really good thing. Like Hannah's grandpa always used to say: "If everyone already knows the story, then what's the point of telling it?" Hannah may have a mom who's against her career choice, and school bullies who claim she'll never be more than a wannabe, but Hannah will stop at nothing until she's a famous journalist just like her grandpa was. And now, she's sure that sleuthing the story behind how these aliens got to Earth is her ticket into the spotlight. But as Hannah learns about the incredible powers the aliens possess, and how an evil entity threatens the world they come from, her priorities are tested. When she discovers a major break in the case, she begins to realize that perhaps their arrival on Earth was no accident after all, and continuing to follow the trail of this story could mean that the destiny Hannah always had planned for herself will change forever. Hannah Gray and the Wannabe Heroes is the first book in the Infinite Alliance series.

She may be tough, beautiful, and practically perfect in every way, but saving the world is only easy when you're Wonder Woman. Being a mom, on the other hand? Now, that takes some serious superpowers. A lasso of truth, bulletproof wristbands, and an invisible airplane. Throw in a golden tiara, great hair, and abs made of steel and you've got a gal theoretically capable of saving the planet (and looking fabulous in the process, too, I might add). But moms aren't looking to save the world. Nope. They'd settle for well-behaved kids, a clean home, an occasional nap or two, and maybe an uninterrupted trip to the bathroom every once in a while. They'd trade in the need for perfection--the desire for acceptance--and willingly cast aside those unrealistic expectations they've placed upon themselves in their roles as mothers. Confessions of a Wonder Woman Wannabe provides the modern-day mommy with sanity-saving tips, advice, and hilarious real-life accounts that every supermom can most certainly relate to, benefit from, and appreciate. After all, the reader may not have been born with superhuman strength, but with God on her side, Jesus in her heart, and the Holy Spirit in her corner, she's more than equipped to handle the daily battles that rage before her. ""So hold on tight, girls, as we prepare to tackle this role of motherhood together: the good, the bad, (the slightly ugly), and everything in between."

Meet today's almost fascists and learn the warning signs to intercept them on the road from populism to dictatorship. With The Wannabe Fascists, historian Federico Finchelstein offers a precise explanation of why Trumpism and similar movements across the world belong to a new political breed, the last outcome of the combined histories of fascism and populism: the wannabe fascists. This new type of populist politician is typically a legally elected leader who, unlike previous populists who were eager to distance themselves from fascism, turns to totalitarian lies, racism, and illegal means to destroy democracy from within. Drawing on almost three decades of research on the histories of fascism and populism around the world, this book lays out in clear language what the author calls the "four pillars of fascism"--xenophobia, propaganda, political violence, and ultimately dictatorship. Finchelstein carefully explains how and why wannabe fascists like Trump, Bolsonaro, and Modi embrace the first three pillars but don't quite succeed in dictatorship and total suppression of the popular vote. The Wannabe Fascists stresses the importance of preventing despots from reaching this tipping point and offers a clear warning for what's at stake.
