  Lady Sas lives SM. The private Mistress from Frankfurt/Main, Germany, writes on lady-sas.com one of the most popular BDSM blogs in the community. In her audiobook “Suddenly Dominatrix”, she openly tells how she became aware of the BDSM and fetish area, what she loves about it and how she lives it out passionately in private. 
  Lady Sas reports about her private background and which ups and downs she had to overcome until she found her sub Toytoy. She lets the listeners participate in her private games and SM sessions and describes in detail and vividly how she trains and uses her slave. (This is not for the faint of heart, though.) The absolute highlight here is the session she conducts together with Lady Cornelias. During this education her slave is brought physically and especially psychologically to his limit - and beyond... 
  Her audiobook provides an intimate and erotic insight into her BDSM world. It draws the authentic portrait of a woman who was able to overcome a deep private crisis and now looks all the more happily into the future. An audiobook that gives courage to dominant women and hope to subs.

  In a world full of leaders who put their egos first, and crave power and the spotlight, here is a story about a leader who did exactly the opposite the autocratic arena of policing.  This is a story about Allan Sicard, a leader who empowered others to lead.  Allan Sicard was a New South Wales Police Officer for 40 years and Police Commander for the last 15 years of that career.  During this time, he was renowned for creating a workplace where people did their best working together in some of the most challenging crises Australia has ever seen including the Mosman Collar Bomb in 2011 and the first two hours of the Lindt Cafe Seige in 2014.  This is a different book about leadership.  Leadership where mistakes are made.  Leadership where mistakes are learnt from.  Over a period, Allan Sicard developed a leadership style that created a workplace and a community where people do their best because they know they are trusted, included, supported, and cared for.  
  "All I can say is wow.  What a read.  Every chapter really is a story to identify a leadership learning."  Rebecca Pinkstone, CEO Homes NSW 
  "His legacy and this book is sure to inspire generations to come."  Alex Greenwich, MP, Member for Sydney 
  "I especially enjoyed your humility and candour.  We learn from our mistakes. More than anything I enjoyed the compassion that comes through your stories. Compassion and leadership can go together despite traditional authoritarian styles. Great message." Andrew Colvin, APM, Former Australian Federal Police Commissioner

  To the passer-by, Mel seemed like an ordinary teenager growing up in a middle-class suburban family in Sydney, Australia; but to those who wanted to get to know her, they could see she was hiding from the truth. 
  Mel had encountered more than most had experienced in a lifetime before she had reached 17. She yearned for freedom, yet what prevailed were threats, abuse and being trapped in an underworld of shame. With all her might, she tried not to give in to the loneliness that stalked her and the fear that plagued her, whilst sleeping under the bridge. Can she reveal her secrets before it’s too late? 
  This gripping brave true story speaks into adults from all walks of life from children that have gone through sexual, physical and emotional abuse and how that affected their internal rhythm. Nothing could hold Mel together other than her determination to search for the true meaning of life itself.

  On to the Next Thing - A Memoir...

  "4 out of 5 Stars. Engrossing and earnest, On to the Next Thing is an insightful and positive journey through an empowering personal philosophy." - Brenna O'Hara, Reedsy Discovery 
  Entertaining true crime meets an encouraging spiritual awakening. 
  Having the right mix of encouragement and entertainment, Corbin Bosiljevac's memoir gets to the heart of an extraordinary story told by an ordinary man. When questionable choices, addiction, and mental health consume his existence, the yearning for something larger becomes imperative. 
  This is a true story about a man's struggles through a time in his life when choices led him astray. From college graduate and Fortune 1000 salesman, to black-market drug dealing, crime emerged as an every day event. Illicit drugs and illegal commerce became profitable and daunting, while the danger of these activities began to creep closer by the hour. 
  With federal prison as the catalyst, there was a chance that he would not recover. Being a fearful time, the crippling anxiety overshadowed any hope that he had left. But his life was rebuilt with a new foundation. These changes did not come easily or quickly, but anything worthwhile never does. This is truly a story of redemption. 
  "On to the Next Thing" is an exceptional read about not giving up on life no matter how far you have fallen. Our individual journeys do not necessarily unfold as we have planned, but it is our experiences that shape our time. These experiences during this time are his story.

  Anguish The double secret

  Max Dorra

  The words of others, as an unpleasant remark ("You’re not hardworking") or a medical diagnosis ("You’re bipolar"), have the power to plunge us into anguish whenever they show an image of ourselves that we do not recognize: "In a world where words become viruses, certain sentences can kill." 
  The reductive identity that is thus assigned to us creates the illusion that our life can be summed up by these few words, allowing others to exercise the tyrannical power of anxiety over us. 
  Max Dorra explains how this illusion, created temporarily by the gaze of others, is just a montage-effect of our memory—as in a movie—and that it is enough to understand the mechanisms of this illusion in order to free ourselves from it: "To become aware of the fact that one is held captive by a montage is to be freed from a false confinement."
  In virtuosic and sensitive language ("The affects—shapeless and promising, wonderful clouds"), the author journeys through music, painting and cinema, appealing to sociology, psychoanalysis and philosophy, while remaining firmly rooted in reality: "There are more things in a hospital elevator than in all of philosophy." 
  He shows us that trusting our imagination allows us to tame anxiety without fearing it, and understanding that "another montage is possible" allows us to go towards the other without losing ourselves.

  Swinging From The Chandelier -...

  The day I found Ben swinging from the chandelier, I knew two things - being his mom was going to be a wild ride, and if I ever decided to write a book about it, I had my title. This book started as a way to cope, a reminder to breathe as I raised three boys, including Ben, who was diagnosed with autism at age 2. It tells our story - from experiencing the complex emotions of fear and guilt at hearing the diagnosis, to fighting tooth-and-nail with the school district to get Ben the services he needed. Our journey isn't over yet, but my once-nonverbal, illiterate son is now a public speaker. And this is the story of how - against all odds - he learned to read and write, learned to drive, and eventually got a job. It's the story of how he was voted homecoming king by his high school of 3,000, and how he continued to exceed all our expectations for him. 
  I have been working on this book for over 10 years. When I first started, it was a way for me to document events, feelings, successes, and missteps while raising our son, Ben, who was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at age two. Over time, I realized that the stories of other parents helped me on my own journey, so I hoped my book might do the same for someone else.
