Blurb/Summary:
Do you feel stuck in a cycle of repetition and limitation?
Are you struggling to find a meaningful pursuit that promotes personal growth? If so, this book is for you!
This guide is your roadmap to unlocking your true potential, equipping you with strategies and tools for personal growth and achieving your goals. At its core are the Four States of Mind—the key quadrants where all your life situations unfold, helping you foster a success mindset and transform your approach to challenges:
What you know that you can do or have: The possibilities within your reach but not all of them.
Beliefs about what seems impossible: The limitations you’ve placed on yourself, holding you back.
Dependencies are that you rely on. Whether it’s money, relationships, or other factors, these are what you feel are essential to achieving your desires.
Sustained growth: Maintaining your progress while building a foundation for further success.
You’re always operating within one of these states. This guide will help you recognize whether you’re moving forward or feeling stuck and empower you with self-help tools and strategies to break free from your limitations. Through improved emotional intelligence and actionable steps, you’ll move closer to realizing your inner potential.
As you explore the Four States of the Mind Map, you will:
Identify recurring behaviors, mental blocks, and self-doubt that hinder your success and personal transformation.
Apply the Four States of Mind in your daily life to identify where you are now and what tactics will move you forward.
Break free from repetitive struggles, act with clarity, and foster purposeful personal growth.
This guide is a simplified take on the profound work of C.S. Peirce, inspired by over a decade of my own study and practice. Along the way, I realized that resources like this often feel too complex or impractical for everyday life. So, I decided to create something different—something accessible, actionable, and designed to truly make a difference.
This guide is packed with insights to help you harness your inner potential, overcome your self-imposed limitations, and achieve lasting transformation, creating a reality according to your own terms.

Review English
I found this book in a difficult part of my life. The concept of the Four States of Mind intrigued me.
I’ve been stuck in the possible all my life. I’d never tried to swerve out of my lane before. Perhaps, I was scared. Or maybe, I never thought the impossible is within grasp. Ms. Umara is informative and dedicated to making the steps solid as possible. I learned how to break free from the limits I’d placed on myself.
Within these pages are a literal map to growth one never though laid in the darkness of mental blocks that stunt our journeys to understanding ourselves better and striving for more.
Life is too short to spend it on the couch. Get up and stretch. It’s time to create and mold my reality in dreams I’d buried deep inside.
I’d read 4SM in English before the Spanish version. You know I read that too. I can’t wait for her next book, Capital Sins. Ms. Umara, you have gained a grateful fan and motivated searcher for the unknown.
If there were ten stars, I’d click it in a heartbeat.

Reseña en español
Encontré este libro en un momento difícil de mi vida. El concepto de los Cuatro Estados Mentales me intrigó. He estado atrapado en lo posible toda mi vida. Nunca antes había intentado salirme de mi camino. Quizás tenía miedo. O tal vez, nunca pensé que lo imposible estuviera al alcance de la mano. La Sra. Umara es informativa y se dedica a que los pasos sean lo más sólidos posible. Aprendí a liberarme de las limitaciones que me había impuesto.
En estas páginas hay un mapa literal hacia un crecimiento que uno nunca imaginó que estaría establecido en la oscuridad de los bloqueos mentales que impiden nuestro viaje hacia una mejor comprensión de nosotros mismos y hacia la lucha por más.
La vida es demasiado corta para pasarla en el sofá. Levántate y estírate. Es hora de crear y moldear mi realidad en los sueños que había enterrado en lo más profundo de mi ser.
Había leído 4SM en inglés antes de la versión en español. Sabes que yo también la leí. Estoy deseando leer su próximo libro, Pecados Capitales. Sra. Umara, se ha ganado una admiradora agradecida y una persona motivada en busca de lo desconocido.
Si tuviera diez estrellas, le daría un clic sin pensarlo dos veces.

Reviewer:  Stacey Krug 

Blurb/Summary:

The final term at Nocturne Academy has begun… and something dark is stirring beneath the surface...

Avery
Being gay in the magical world means hiding who you are—or paying the price. I’ve learned to keep my head down, stay close to my coven, and survive the football team's cruelty one insult at a time. But nothing prepared me for Saint, my new roommate. There’s a haunted look in his golden eyes... and a monster under his skin.
A Cursed Drake lives inside him—possessive, obsessed, and terrifyingly fixated on me. He whispers of “cuddles,” but there’s violence in his desire. I should be running. Instead, I’m drawn to both the boy and the beast.

Saint

My whole life, I’ve been taught to fear what I am. To hide it. To fight it. But the curse burning inside me grows stronger every day. And when Avery came into my life—brilliant, brave, and already carrying wounds of his own—the fire inside me turned to obsession.
He soothes my madness. Calms the chaos.
But the Drake is hungry… and it wants him.
If I give in, I’ll lose myself. If I resist, I might lose him.

At 
Nocturne Academy, love is forbidden, dragons are cursed, and being different can get you killed.
But some things are worth the danger.

Review:

The final book in the Nocturne Academy series did not disappoint. This is Avery and Saint’s story and is full of teenage boy angst, curses, and family drama. Drake and Danger is a YA story and does not contain explicit content but does cover mature themes.

Evangeline Anderson does a wonderful job of bringing to light the difficulties facing the LGBTQ+ community not only from their own family but society. If you have read the other three previous books, then you will understand that they have a “found and made” family from the coven they have all formed. Everyone needs support through life and this story is a good example.

All the original characters play a role in Avery and Saint’s story. Both the characters and readers get a closer look at both boy’s living situations at home. The story has non-stop action and is quite the page-turner.

In the final author notes, Evangeline Anderson, states that this will probably be the last story. She makes sure that we know they will all support one another going forward as a family. The ending is both a HEA and HFN. 

I really enjoyed this final story.

Reviewer: Stacey Krug 

Blurb/Summary:

Wanda Jefferson, vampire/werewolf hybrid and (very) reluctant temporary PTA president, reporting for duty!

Yes, yes, yes. I’m a PTA member. Don’t be so shocked. I’d do anything for my two precious babies, Olivia and Sam, including whip up batches of cupcakes late into the night for their annual bake sale at the Paranormal School for the Gifted. And if I have to endure the most insufferable, controlling, bossy-pants PTA president in all of existence who goes by the name Neerie Lincoln-- so be it.

Except today, Neerie’s a no-show, leaving me in charge of the event. Inconceivable! The domineering little fae would never willingly miss the school’s biggest fundraising event. Who else will properly ensure sweet and savory treats never grace the same table?

Neerie’s sister claims she’s been missing for two days. When she begs me and my besties, Nina and Marty, to put our fledgling detective skills to work to find her, we’re reluctant. I mean, there’s no love lost for the PTA president. However, she’s left behind a little girl who misses her mommy something fierce—and THAT we can’t ignore.

Of course, Neerie has 
also left a recently disgruntled ex, a loser baby-daddy, and a long line of horribly mistreated people in her wake.

Read: the suspect list is sizeable. Any one of a dozen people have reason to want to un-alive the crazy fairy, up to and including the school janitor.

Oh…and have we mentioned Neerie’s absolutely 
obsessed with conspiracy theories? And the human groups devoted to them?

Yep. The suspect pool just got a whole lot bigger.

Diving headlong into Neerie’s crazy world of nutball conspiracies, Nina, Marty and I thought we’d seen every form of weird during our various Accidental adventures.

We were SO wrong…

Review:

Be A Detective, They Said. It’ll Be Fun, They Said the third book in The Accidental Detectives series is from Wanda Jefferson’s POV. Wanda’s children Olivia, Sam, and Heath, her husband, have more of a presence in this book.

The OOPs ladies are improving their investigative skills and using outside sources wisely. Their investigation leads them to several wild conspiracy theories. Book three takes on a couple plot twists I was not expecting making for a fun read.

The third book in The Accidental Detectives has great characters and framily make coming back to this world extremely enjoyable. The story has as much action as the previous books and was engaging. As a reader, I’m interested to see if those plot twists will end up in future books.

Blurb/Summary:

Marty Flaherty here: Half human, half werewolf, aaall girl and proud of it.

First, let me say, we’re not exactly great at this detective gig. Sherlock Holmes wouldn’t be out of a job because we’re on the scene.

But while In the midst of trying to choose our next case to solve and learning from the mistakes we made with our last investigation, my fifteen-year-old daughter Hollis makes a plea we can’t turn our backs on.
Her best friend, Charmaine Ellis needs our help.

Charmaine's father’s been accused of murdering their house manager’s daughter. Ronald Ellis, guardian of everything werewolf, overseer of ancient were artifacts, is accused of killing Zinnia Hutchins.
A sweet, thoughtful young woman who grew up in the Ellis household—a young woman Ronald once considered a daughter.

The madness in all of this?

He fully admits he’s whodunnit!

That’s right, he makes no bones about the fact that he’s the killer. Loud and proud, Ronald confesses to killing a beautiful young woman. The catch? He can’t remember a single thing about the morning he allegedly murdered Zinnia.
Due to the archaic inefficiency of the were council police, and their deep desire to keep all matters werewolf deeply hidden from the human world, Ronald asks us to help him investigate what happened that morning, even if it means he truly did murder a woman he considered family.

So we jump in both feet and this time, with a hefty list of suspects on our side, but as we dig deeper we find secrets none of us expected, proving murder in the paranormal world is a tricky game of cat and mouse!

Review:

I love that each book in this new series is from a different POV. Book 2 is from Marty Flaherty’s POV and has much to do with the were society. Readers are treated to a teenage Hollis, Marty’s daughter, and we get to see the relationships that have been built over time. Hollis has two aunties that love her like their own. It is apparent that those bonds were forged over time and experiences. Hollis doesn’t hesitate to ask for help for her friend.

The suspected murderer and victim are part of the were community, so we get more insight on their workings. They have some crazy artifacts that should not fall into the wrong hands. Book two is straight forward with some obvious and a couple not so obvious plot twists. It’s also a fairly clean read because Nina is not the protagonist.

Tell Me It’s Murder Without Telling Me It’s Murder has great characters and is a fun read.

Reviewer: Stacey Krug  

Blurb/Summary:

A Mafia Princess disguised as a boy…

Jessina:
Running from a loveless marriage, I disguised myself and tricked my way aboard the starship captained by my Fated Mate. Only Turk doesn’t know we’re meant to be together and how can I tell him when he thinks I’m a boy? I don’t dare reveal my true identity but what happens when my body starts craving his and he finds out who I really am? Will he believe we’re meant to be together…or send me back to the cruel old man who paid for me?

A Mafia Captain tricked into hiring his Fated Mate

Turk:
I thought there was something strange about my new crew member. He was so quiet and shy—and much too pretty to be male. But he was also the best damn navigator I’d ever seen. Still, why did I feel so drawn to him? It didn’t make sense—I’m no lover of males. When another crew member attacked him, I was forced to take him into my own cabin to protect him. But then our bodies started reacting and the cravings began. Little did I know that the pretty new navigator was hiding a secret that would blow my life apart…

Author’s Note—
Savage Union is a secret identity, forbidden fruit, Dark Alien Mafia Romance—the second book in the Brutal Universe Series. It can be read as a stand-alone novel, but you might enjoy it more if you read Cruel Union, the first book in the series first.

Enter The Brutal Universe


Years ago everyone who could afford it left the dying Earth and traveled to the stars. There, humanity found that they were not alone—there was plenty of sentient life to connect with…if they wanted to.

A core group of humans refused to have anything to do with the aliens. The Untainted, as they chose to call themselves, have pure human blood in their veins—their DNA has remained unchanged for centuries. They marry each other and do their best to ignore the outsiders—but there are some who are hard to ignore…for instance, the Brutal Crime Lords.

The Brutal Crime Organization operates like the Cosa Nostra back on Dying Earth. Made up of four different Alien Crime families, they rule over whole sectors of the Imperium Galaxy and extract tribute from anyone living in their territory. The Brutes, as they are called, have inhuman lusts. Always searching for their Fated Mate, once they find her, they develop The Thirst which compels them to taste her juices. Some have tails and most have horns. All of them have special equipment that’s big enough to split a woman in two…or give her pleasure beyond her wildest dreams.
When a woman enters a Permanent Binding with a Brute, she can never, ever be free of him.

*Author's Note--I hope you'll enjoy this new series--I wanted to take Mafia Romance themes and tropes and put them in a sci-fi setting filled with cruel and irresistible Alien Mafia Enforcers. Expect to find Love and Betrayal, Enemies to Lovers, and growly, grumpy Morally Grey Heroes determined to find their Fated Mates at all costs.

The Four Families

Clan Cruel--these Alien Mafiosos carry a Darkness inside them that other Clans fear
Clan Savage
-- Serpentine blood ensures these Alien Enforcers have fangs and a desire to taste their woman's blood
Clan – Vicious
--Moving neon tatts and an ability to read their enemy’s intentions are the characteristics of these Morally Grey Alien Capos.
Clan Ruthless
 -- These Alien Crime Lords have bat-like wings and burning red eyes.

*All Four Clans have 3 things in common
-- Horns, Knots, and The Thirst--an insatiable desire to taste their Fated Mate


Review:

Turk and Jessina have great chemistry together. Savage Union has a fun plot with plenty of action. Evangeline Anderson uses creative descriptions of all the aliens and different worlds. The world building is fantastic. As a reminder, this book is set in the Brutal Universe not the Kindred Universe. There is a scene that may be triggering to some readers. It is on par with other scenes that this author has written so you can rest assured that there is a good outcome.

We do get to see Slade in this book as he is Turk’s best friend and Jessina’s brother. Jessina disguises herself as a boy to get on Turk’s ship. She is completely qualified for the job, but they never would have hired a woman, and she was on the run from her parents. Jessina’s disguise leads to some very sticky and even triggering situations. Once the charade is over with Jessina’s disguise there is a lot of “you’re off limits” drama coming from Turk.

I enjoyed the journey Turk and Jessina had to take to get to where they are at the end of the book. Jessina made new friends along the way and grew as a person. Savage Union has a HFN ending. Their future was not hammered out with certainty. As a reader, I would love to see how they are getting along in their new life together and how their small family unit is functioning.
