Off Limits

By: Vivian Ward

Did you look at the cover? No? Look again. Okay, now wipe your mouth, what were you thinking drooling on the screen? 

You think that’s tasty? You should read the description of Chase! He is downright sexier in words, I think. But, I’ll let you be the judge of that. 

Chase and Melanie knew each other from School, and now they’re adults. And obviously it has been sometime since they’ve seen each other last, and you know how the ‘School Girl’ crushes are right? Well when the guy turns out even better as an adult, ohhhh boy! 

Well, Melanie ends up in debt up to her eyeballs, and Chase, well he is charge of: “The Pink Pouch.” It is a dancer’s club. And for him, he has just one rule. You read the tile of this book, right? You guessed it, the dancers are: “Off Limits” and Chase’s rule is to never get involved with them. Simple, right?

Melanie is stressing over the money she needs to come up with in less the thirty days, or she’s going to lose everything. Chase explains that there is money to be made as a dancer, especially if you do it right. 

In the meantime, Chase remembers seeing Melanie in her swimsuit when she was younger, it can’t be all that bad. He is certain he can handle this. There are a lot of beautiful women on stage, and all of them want him, and he is firm on his rule. While it’s true Melanie could be quite a catch, he knows better.

Chase watches as Melanie appears on stage with her pasties on. He gulps, realizing this is a lot different compared to a bathing suit. He can’t look away as she sways and dances on the pole. It is than that Chase realizes, more than his eyes have awakened. 

This book is truly a five-star read that I could not put down, not for one second. I had to know what was going to become of Chase and Melanie. I was right there with Chase watching Melanie dance on stage when I felt his body get warmer, and his emotions get the best of him. I knew he had lost his own battle. I just wondered if Melanie and he would still want to be together, I was curious if her debt was going to be a problem or not. So now, I leave with you the thoughts, did they get together or not? Maybe something ‘did’ get in the way. I’m not giving you ‘all’ of the answers! It’s your turn to go get this delicious book!

Here are my questions for Vivian:

1. What made you write this book and how long did it take you?

I thought Off Limits would be a fun read, and it took about two months to write this book.

2. Who designed this beautiful cover?

My awesome cover artist, Nikki! I love, love, love the cover for Off Limits.

3. Do you have any photos or descriptions of the characters that you can share with us?

The model on the cover is Chase. He’s super hot, and very frustrated. LOL

4. What are you working on now?

I’m working on two books right now. I’m co-writing one with another author and I’m working on a story called Love Me Twice that will release on Halloween.

5. What motivates you to write?

All of the stories in my head, and bills. LOL I’m naturally a talker and telling stories allows me to venture into other worlds, explore different people, their problems, their love life and give them a better place to live. It’s sort of my way of talking, but I get to be creative and have fun.

6. If you were to get writers block, or have ever had it, what do you do for it?

I get writers block all the time! I typically call my friend, Jill, and bounce ideas off of her until I’m ready to sit down and set the keyboard on fire.

7. What suggestions can you offer for the aspiring writers out there?

Read, read, and then read some more. Study what other writers are doing, but most importantly, study the writers you feel are successful and see how they tell stories. Everyone’s writing style is different, and you have to create your own way of telling stories. It’s what makes each of us unique. Reading is more of the job than writing, believe it or not, and you can tell which authors are readers and which ones aren’t.

8. How long have you been writing?

I’ve been writing since 2013. I started out writing short stories under several pen names before I started writing longer works.

9. What are your hobbies?

Reading, crocheting, putting puzzles together, and reading. ;) lol (See, there’s that reading thing again.)

10. Do you put yourself into your characters?

Absolutely! I put some of myself into the hero and heroine of each story.

11. Where is your favorite place to write?

Any place quiet. Seriously. As long as it’s quiet, I’m happy. Sometimes it’s difficult for me to write because I have four children, and they have two volumes: mute and Metallica. They’re mostly on Metallica, so I appreciate any quiet time I get.

The Influence of Military Strategies to Business By: M.D. White

The Influence of Military Strategies to Business

By: M.D. White

When I received this book, I thought it would be a good choice and time to share, read and review this. With the World the way it is today, economically everything is changing. And the Military and their families can use all the help that we can get and give to them, and not just from the Military's point of view. Therefore, I found this insight something that needed shared for many reasons.

Mr. White wrote this insightful, educational, and enlightening book not just because he felt that it would benefit others, but because he wanted to. He used his expertise education that he gained from being a Psychological warfare consultant, as well as his business strategy education. Mr. White is also educated in Business Management and Leadership expert. With these fine skills, Mr. White spent years testing theories, and strategies, until he was certain he had mastered perfect scenarios worthy of sharing with the world, thus creating this book: The Influence of Military Strategies to Business.

Now, as you are looking at this title, you are probably thinking this is some kind of financial handbook, or guidebook on making ends meet with your military paycheck or something. But this is not the case with this book.

Here, Mr. White will try and show you ways to work with your employees, and build a successful team with your business. Gleam and groom your business managers, and prune them to grow and succeed, and prosper. 

This book can even help in your Political field. Showing you how to build success under you, and even around you. The world is your battlefield, and you must be ready to combat it, daily. In order to win, you must be ready, and willing to fight for what you want. 

Mr. White had this to say and I quote: "No amount of experience in crucial conversations, or business negotiations, can prepare you better than the information you'll gleam from this manual. It's truly a politician’s guide to psychological warfare. Perhaps its President Trumps bible, and what he reads every night. The moral of the story is: Use it, or be used by it! Current geopolitical controversies only emphasize this point."

I am only giving you the opportunity to look further into this book, as I think you should if you want your business, or even yourself to succeed further. Much of what is said in this book makes complete sense. You need to think about what I am going to say to you right now: If you have something, money, business, jewels, etc, think about how many simply envy you because you have it, even if you earned it yourself. Those people want what you have and will do whatever it takes to take it away from you. Does this not seem a little like war? It may only be a competition, and you only have to fight to keep what it is yours, even when people wrongfully steal it. But still..in order to win, you need advantages. Just a thought to ponder right there. And within the pages of this book, there are a lot of advantages that you can learn when reading it. 

I truly found this book very educational and eye opening. I learned a lot, and am very glad that I read it. I give this book five stars and honestly wish that I could give it more. This is a book that I feel that everyone should read, and honestly, I mean everyone. It will educate you, and make you think and see a lot clearer, as well as understand. Mr. White even explains everything in a way that is understandable too, he wasn’t intimidating, very professional.

My questions for Mr. White:

1. What made you write this book and how long did it take you?
I am a huge business, finance, and entrepreneur buff. Anything business or investment related, I'm all in. So, it was the obvious choice for me. If I was to write a book it had to be business related, or a work used to inspire others in achieving their plans, goals and dreams.

The information provided in this book stems from a life's worth of studying, once you've got all the knowledge and experience the rest is fairly simple. The hardest part is breaking down all the principles and philosophies into terms that all can understand. While still making it fun and practical. This book, with these goals in mind, took 3 years--working part time.


2. Who designed the cover?
With a little direction from me, Katie Norton.

3. Do you have any photos or descriptions of yourself that you can share with us?

Yes. 

4. What are you working on now?
A book not too different from this one. At least as it relates to the market audience. The new book is geared towards the more sinister side of us. It can be used for good or evil. It is a book on the art of power. It covers, in part, communications, manipulation, influence, deception, leadership, management, politics,  diplomatic relations, persuasion, psychological warfare, the “con” game, and so much more. Its purpose is to arm yourself for a world like ours. It may surely become a staple in everyone's library.


5. What motivates you to write?
The motivation is to teach myself how to do better. I study from all the greats...all the experts in every industry and place all of the most important information into a master book that I use for my reference, and I then start to rewrite what works only after I've had the opportunity to explore all available options. I compile these into a book to become more efficient. So I am motivated by my own selfish desires--to save my time.


6. If you were to get writers block, or have ever had it, what do you do for it?
Read. Usually I'll go pick up a Wall Street Journal and look for new ideas or investments BEFORE the next BIG THING jumps into my head. Bye Bye writers block.

If this fails to work for any reason I'd go out and find a stimulating conversation, that had nothing to do with my writings, and wait for inspiration. It usually comes within 15 minutes. Nothing too fancy.


7. What suggestions can you offer for the aspiring writers out there?
Write. Write. Write. Never give up. It's not always easy but it us rewarding. It could establish self worth, and, definitely, demonstrates value to the world--and, most importantly, your family.


8. How long have you been writing?
All my life. Never took it seriously until a few years ago. I regret not starting earlier.


9. What are your hobbies?
Business investing. Financial wizardry. Creative investments. Reading. Writing. Creating. Spending time with the family.
Teaching people how to make money, live healthy, and be inspired.

10. Do you put yourself into your characters?
My “characters” are generally real world figures who have experienced the same things that I have. So it would be easy to “put [myself] into [my] characters,” because I've been there. The difference is that the characters that I use are notable people with known records.


11. Where is your favorite place to write?
My closet or home office.

13. Anything to add::

I spend the majority of my time lifting people up. I love to motivate and inspire those who lack the confidence in themselves. I am a firm believer that I can teach ANYONE to be rich, healthy, positive, prosperous, and happy. They just require a little guidance, and someone that believes in them. This is me.

Accept my challenge and be AMAZED.
