Framed for murder and hunted by the police, Ray Stone must unravel the truth before his past—and his habit—destroy him completely.

Originally published in the 1950s, this hardboiled pulp classic captures the gritty atmosphere of post-war urban America, where jazz clubs, night streets, and dope dens provide the backdrop for a chilling mystery.

The Light Switch Myth
by Kerisma Vere
Kindle $4.99 Rating: 4.7 #ad

KINDLE

The Light Switch Myth challenges the idea that change should be instant, permanent, and all-or-nothing. Drawing from my own lived experiences, alongside my understanding of multiple therapeutic approaches and proven models of change, it blends personal stories, compassionate insights, with practical evidence based strategies to create a new vision of what sustainable transformation looks like.

This book is for anyone who has felt defeated by “quick fix” promises or overwhelmed by the pressure to do everything at once. Instead, it offers a gentler path: one step at a time, rooted in self-compassion, flexibility, and realistic tools that actually last. It can be a starting place to shift away from perfectionism, harsh inner dialogue, and unrealistic expectations of what real change looks like. I have travelled this path and know it is possible to integrate new approaches and strategies that are kinder, more sustainable, and ultimately more rewarding. I wrote this book to help others who struggle in the ways I once did and sometimes still do.
