Configuration, a once in a hundred years event. Family and monsters
descend on Rookhaven from all over the country to take part. But
amid the guests there is an interloper. One who is disguised and

part monster - discovers that to those from outside Rookhaven she
is not considered family at all . . . and, forced to search further
afield for knowledge of her true history, she risks everything -
and everyone. Praise for The Monsters of Rookhaven: 'A stunning
book . . . a brand new take on the monster story' - Eoin Colfer,
author of Artemis Fowl 'A magnificent, shadowy, gothic adventure
full of heart' - Emma Carroll, author of Frost Hollow Hall 'A
wildly imaginative story . . . a triumph' - Irish Examiner
Summary:
"If you wish to make a significant improvement to the quality of
your life and increase the chances for personal success, youll do
well by picking up a copy of this one-of-a-kind self-improvement
book. "The Warrior Truth," penned by military instructor Thomas
Bovet, offers practical, honest advice as well as insightful
detailed goal-reaching techniques for any competitive individual -
be it the career man, the athlete, the business executive or member
of the law-enforcement and military." Features:
My book's chapters point to a uniquely eclectic coverage of the
subjects which one must address in order to live freer and
successfully. My biographical information suggests a wide range of
unique experiences and diversity which not many writers can match.
I had life-and-death decisions and survival situations to deal
with, which cannot be accomplished unless one applies solid methods
and techniques. Those abilities were acquired over 4 decades and
are shared with the readers. I offer unusual comparisons between
Eastern and Western concepts, concentrating on the important and
essential.
Competition:
Self-improvement books usually claim to improve "happiness" or
health. However, the offered advice is mostly either too
impractical to follow or too simplistic and redundant for the
average life (at least without close coaching).
.,."by choosing loving thoughts...," or .,."open your heart to the
energy of true emotions..." are sample quotes from the thousands of
ludicrous and bizarre ideas, from examples like: "You can heal your
life" by Louise Hay, or "Way of the peaceful warrior" by Dan
Millman. Other books refer to Sun Tzu or the Samurai, trying to
drawsimilarities between business transactions and tactical
warfare. The authors give "warrior"-like advice to the type of
people who would get mugged on the way to the bathroom and really
promote anti-social behavior, rather than self reflection.
Audience:
I address any able, active person, from young adult to retirement
age.
(Businessmen, executives, competitive employees, athletes, members
of the law-enforcement and military or other organizations and
agencies.)
