The year is 2024. A ruthless cartel dominates Latin America, and the FBI's Troy Levi gets commissioned to intervene. A cyborg for the bureau's Virtual Division, Levi delivers a devastating blow to the cartel's power but encounters a wave of social resentment in the aftermath.

As the people's feelings for cyborgs grow bitter, former black-op cyborg ally and CIA operative Soriana Salazar finds herself caught between sides. Eliminating the cartel destabilized the region, fueling anti-cyborg sentiments in neighboring countries and afar. But tough decisions await Salazar after civil unrest forces the agency to sever all cyborgs ties. And that's only the beginning…

Betrayed by the government, hated by the people, a vengeful league of cyborgs spawns a sinister scheme of liberation. And While Levi searches for Solace amid the turmoil and Salazar seeks balance, both will have to take a grave stand if they hope to stall the impending chaos.

Why are societies filled with much evil? Aren’t we a group of people living together? Yet why do I feel afflicted and alone? Even though I’m in a Democracy, there are scams everywhere. Drugs and prostitution are happening. People are jobless; wages are cheap. Government programs only work for some people. I feel unprotected. I feel vulnerable. My life is on a boat that feels it could sink at any moment. What is wrong with society? Why does everything seem so hard to achieve? Is suicide the only way out? HALT! Wait! Don’t take your life. Forgive those who have done wrong towards you, for they know not understanding. Listen. My enemy is your enemy. Our enemy is one and the same, the enemy of God. Gain understanding. Gain insight. Know this. Those who have understanding will understand and will learn to forgive. Our enemy is a type of value found in every living being that has a conscience. Eradication is only possible from within the individual. Whether he waters the seed of evil within himself or prevents the seed from growing, is his choice to make. Understanding must first be given to him and then we hope that he makes the right choice. Either that or we bring about a form of Socialism — from the minds of the first Socialist person in the history of mankind.

101 Things Every Man Should Know: To Experience a Life of Victory & Impact by Dak Frederick

Free for a Limited Time, Click Now on the Cover Photo. Wednesday 9/15/21 and Thursday 9/16/21

★★★Are you determined to never settle for a life of mediocrity, of being average, letting life slip by and never truly reaching your full potential? Are you constantly seeking ways to better yourself and know that you must bring your "A-game" because people depend on you? Do you just want to make positive lifestyle changes and become more focused?★★★

You know that unless you take care of your health, make the right choices with your money, build deep relationships with those around you, and keep your mind sharp, you won't truly enjoy the type of life you desire.

Dak wrote this book with the following people in mind:
✓ Young men who want to build the type of life they can be proud of
✓ Husbands & dads with families who depend on them and look to them for leadership
✓ Men who are tired of being successful in their careers, yet unfulfilled in their personal lives
✓ Men who want to enjoy a deeper, more satisfying marriage and learn how to better love their wives and steer clear of the pitfalls that so often divide people
✓ Men who have been knocked down by life who are on a mission to make a comeback
✓ Not just men, but the women who love them and need to understand life from a man's perspective and learn how to better support and encourage them
✓ Men who are constantly seeking ways to grow and want to become more intentional about reaching their goals

Young Men Seeking Guidance & Direction
Young men face challenges as they work toward building a life of their own, and often face tough decisions that come along with that responsibility. If you have a son or grandson you care about who's in this stage of life, you can help him gain a clearer sense of direction and purpose by encouraging him to read this book.

For Heroes Who Serve
Many of the men we call heroes rightfully receive recognition and awards for their willingness to sacrifice for the benefit of others, while at the same time feel like they're losing in their personal lives. Having a successful career is one thing; being fulfilled and satisfied in your personal life is another.

Through his personal story, Dak will inspire you to look beyond your past failures and realize that no matter what stage you're at in life, God can turn things around and do the unimaginable.

This book has a faith aspect to it that will cause you to think deeply about the direction of your life and help you clarify your priorities. Many of the chapters include reflection questions and exercises so you can immediately start applying what you read to your life.

What Makes this book enjoyable:
✓ Short & concise chapters packed with a lot of value, which makes it easy to quickly squeeze in a chapter or two
✓ Down-to-earth, straightforward language that's easy to understand
✓ Author is transparent about his own challenges and struggles, which help you connect with him on a more personal level
✓ Interesting stories that not only make you laugh, but also provoke deep thought and motivate you to take action
✓ Wide range of topics covered: health, finances, spirituality and faith, mindset, dealing with stress, relationships, starting a business, etc.
✓ Not just surface level: this book goes deep and will challenge you to be a better man

◆This book is all about elevating your mindset, building the right types of habits, and learning how to better relate to those around you. Dak wrote this book because he genuinely wants to help you, and can almost promise that you'll experience growth in many areas of your life as a result of reading this book◆

SWORN Friendship in a Fragile World by Chris Southard and Peter Reed

Free for a Limited Time, 11/20/20 through 11/24/20. Click Now on the Cover Photo.

We live in a fragile world.
We wrote this book as inspirational comedy, but we’d be making a huge mistake if we didn’t address the underlying fragility of our world. Our environment, our political systems, our sense of community, and often even our personal relationships… they are all fragile!

You’re probably thinking, “What a downer!”

But here’s the caveat: while the world we live in is often fragile, God is not.

He invites us to have a Sworn friendship with him, and when we enter the fragile world with this Sworn covenant, we learn how to also develop Sworn friendships with those around us as well.

These are true, brotherly friendships that help us to heal our wounds and continually develop into people that can put more good into the world around them.

If you’re still reading, you’re probably thinking...



What is “Sworn friendship,” anyway?
Sworn friendship goes far beyond the superficial concepts of friendship. You may have golfing buddies, fishing buddies, and even great people in your life in church or work environments. But if you don’t have an honest, deep relationship with these people, these are not Sworn friendships.

A Sworn friendship is created through a natural process of knitting together two souls through openness, loyalty, and a mutual desire to improve your connections with God. It fills a hole that so many men lose as they get older and take on the responsibility of life. And sadly, some people never experience this level of friendship at all.

As an aid to changing your perspective on friendship, we want to teach you about the six essential ingredients of a Sworn friendship, which will dramatically change your life and the lives of many people around you.



But it’s kind of weird…
We get it. All this talk about two (or more) men being open and loyal to each other can sometimes sound very strange when so many of us have been taught to bottle up our emotions and “be a man.”

This type of close bond isn't always traditionally seen as something two grown men share between one another.

We wrote this book to make you laugh, but even more, to challenge you to see what your relationships with God and your fellow men really mean.

What is actually “weird” is being an island, refusing to heal and grow both in your relationships with God, your fellow men, and even yourself.

You know if there is a problem, but you may not know yet how Sworn friendships are the solution.



It’s not an instructional manual!
There is no one-size-fits-all solution to Sworn friendship, and we’re not going to claim there is one direct path to healing or improving your relationships. We have framed this book through our own experiences, through the growth of the Sworn friendship we share and nurture together and with others in our circle.

So don’t worry, we aren’t going to make you go out and hug 10 men by the end of the week. This isn’t about practicing “fake it until you make it.” It isn't self-help literature aimed to make you feel better for a few moments and then be forgotten as nothing changes in your life.

This book is about finding the truth and letting the “practice” you exhibit to the world reflect on who you truly are inside.

Not only will you be amazed by how becoming open to your fellow man helps build your friendships, but how it will affect your relationships in all levels of your life, including your relationship with God and even yourself.

Donald J. Trump Will You Please Go Now! by Martin Bodek @MartinBodek

Free for a Limited Time, 10/10 - 15/20. Click Now on the Cover Photo.

The time has come. The time is now. He has to go. Go. GO! We don't care how. He can go by plane to Curacao. Donald J. Trump, has to go now. And so on. Martin Bodek has an abiding interest in politics, likes to write books (obviously), is Dr. Seuss's biggest fan, and his wife has been after him for years to write a children's book. Nailed the quadfecta, so hard.

Interview with Matthew Stegman

The Digital Ink Spot had the pleasure of interviewing, Matthew Stegman. As a self-published author, they lived through a nightmare, only to survive and come out better on the other side. Let's hear what Stegman has to say about his journey though life and self-publishing.

The Digital Ink Spot : Tell the readers about you and your writing style and why is it you became an author? 

Matthew Stegman: My name is Matthew Stegman, I consider myself a struggling high-functioning, chronic illness suffering, anxiety-riddled creative. I try very hard to have the energy to do. However, not always is it present. I write when I can. When I am inspired, I quickly jot down a note to study and obsess over for days until it finally manifests as more than just a few words neatly tucked away on my phone. I try to set aside time to force myself to write but that doesn't always work. I usually just end up editing the same thing one thousand times over. My work usually takes the shape of crazed monologues that I've mangled and crushed into poetry. What I write is either based on my overwhelming intrusive thoughts, dreams that only half make sense after I'm done trying to describe them, past trauma I'm in the process of trying to resolve, failed relationships or friendships, and anything and everything that occupies my poor over-analytical brain. As to why I chose to become an author, well I suppose it's because I had so much inside of me that I needed to write down. Which sounds cliche. Every author, poet, or creative has things inside of them that they need to express. I am no different in that matter. 

 The Digital Ink Spot: What brought you to writing and publishing your first collection? 

Matthew Stegman: Well, I published my first collection and second at the same time. Which in hindsight wasn't the best idea. I had no launch schedule or plan. I rushed the process (if you consider a two-year timespan rushing) because it needed to be done. I needed them out and about. I needed them to really exist. The choice of mangling my work into two collections (If Anyone Can Hide it, it's Me and Parallel Universe Me Has No Scars) and publishing them was, unrealistically, to seek connection. I started writing them at a very low point, and at that point, all I did was seclude myself and write. After writing enough to compile into a collection, I chose to make it a book. After editing and writing more it had become two books. Hard-luck stories push and shape us, and we all have one or two or three. I had become something unrecognizable and needed to grow. As I grew so did my writing. My writing became less about someone else or what they had done, and more about me and my never-ending search into the catacombs of myself. The former my first collection, the latter my second. 

 The Digital Ink Spot: Now that you got the first collection out of your system. What made you continue writing? What was your goal after the first collection? 

 Matthew Stegman: The main goal I guess is to continue to write out all of what needs to come out. I feel the perpetual gnawing in the back of my mind. A beast that demands more from me. I want to continue to write things my readers will relate to. I am absolutely over the moon when I receive reviews and feedback on what someone feels from my writing, or that they feel as if I have entered their mind and wrote down what they felt. In a way that gives me the connection that I so desperately sought after while writing my collections. It gives one a sense of belonging, for me as the author and I'm sure for the reader. 

 The Digital Ink Spot: What else can readers look forward to from you? 

Matthew Stegman: They can look forward to my mind in frenzy, panic, disbelief, and wonder. All compact and written down. I am currently working on a novel but I'm not very far into it. God, I can't tell you how envious I am of those who possess the ability to write out thousands of words a day. Who can manifest chapter after chapter. But alas, my jealously is unimportant. The novel follows a character and their consumption into alcoholic psychosis, as well as the consequences of their actions. The collapse of a life and the lives affected by this collapse. I am excited about it. Even if I mostly stare vividly at the screen typing, backspacing, and typing again. Readers can also keep a lookout for my next poetry chapbook titled Gator Heads & Wind Chimes. Both the novel and chapbook will be available whenever I can convince someone to publish them! Haha! 

 The Digital Ink Spot: After all, you have lived through, what can you say to others how may be going through have gone through the same type of experience? 

Matthew Stegman:  As I said, everyone has a story. Everyone has had struggles they have had to overcome. I am no different. I suffer from Crohn's Disease which is a real pain in the ass. It causes me to have very little energy, due to constant inflammation I feel drained every day. I suffer from unresolved trauma that has manifested as terrible coping mechanisms. I have recognized that the desire to want or to live has escaped me most of my life. Right now, I have a choice. I must choose to want to be alive, despite how helpless I have felt. I must push myself to move and act and breathe and want. Even if I suffer from many things destroying me at once, I will strive to want. Despite it being extremely easy to tell you all this, the hard truth is that it will be excruciating. That it has been excruciating. I will have to demand myself to do and become healthier. My advice to others? 1. Be vulnerable. Yeah, I get it, it's hard. But nothing's real if you're closed off to it. 2. Do. You are what you do. Make the choice to do what needs to be done. If it hurts, it's going to hurt until it doesn't. 2. You should do everything you can to help yourself heal. I slip up. I do all the time. What matters is to continue to try. I suffer from both mental and physical things, but the mental is what keeps me from doing everything I can. Just like I chose to write things down, choose to do.
