The Power of Content isn't just a book. It's a journey through The Content Effect Framework-an empowering guide to creating content authentically, in alignment with your strengths.

 

In a world where we're constantly bombarded with 'shoulds' from so-called experts, this book helps you break free from the pressure to conform and shows you how to make content creation easy, enjoyable, and purpose-driven. When I made the leap from corporate world to full-time mum to online entrepreneur, I saw too many entrepreneurs struggling with their content. They were caught in a cycle of trying to implement strategies from experts left and right, but there were some missing pieces-strategy, purpose and personality. Content creation had become a burdensome task, disconnected from their true passions and values.

A complete crossing of Europe from the northernmost point of Arctic Norway to the southernmost deserts of Spain. This is a story of perseverance and the power of the mind as Russell learns how to overcome endless challenges in order to keep his wheels moving south. Between being blown off his bike on a remote Arctic Island, pedalling across Europe’s highest peaks and crossing sunburnt deserts with cowboys.

A kids book about ADHD.jpg

A Kids Book about ADHD!’ is aimed at helping kids understand and embrace the unique qualities of living with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

 

Everybody’s brains work differently, and how cool is that? Elly Both wrote ‘A Kids Book about ADHD!’ to help kids with ADHD to understand that despite the challenges they face, they are wonderful, smart humans with unique strengths and abilities. To accept themselves for who they are, and really embrace and value their uniqueness.
 
The book celebrates neurodiversity and the powerful skills that come with experiencing life, and as a person, with ADHD. Skills such as creativity and ‘hyperfocus’ which is when a person with ADHD fixates on an interest or activity for an extended period, which Elly suggests can signal to a child something that they feel passionate about.

 

‘A Kids Book about ADHD!' is part of a broader series from “A Kids Co” which is thoughtfully designed to be read together by children and adults, promoting a shared understanding and acceptance of big topics.

Stolpersteine, or stumble stones, are memorials to individuals who occupied the building that they lay outside. The vast majority are refer to Jewish victims of the Nazi holocaust.

 

The author researched and resurrected stories of those people whose Stolperstein he encountered, some of the tales are very brief while others reveal stories of sacrifice, bravery and survival. This is a thought provoking read, not just names & numbers, but an insight into the insanity of the Nazi regime.

 

At times the shear brutality of these stories is confronting, but a reminder of our past that never should be forgotten.

The Guyra Ghost remains one of the most famous paranormal events to happen in Australia.

 

In early April 1921, a series of strange, unexplained events began to happen in the small town of Guyra, New South Wales. Stones were thrown at a house, seemingly from nowhere, the walls rocked with bangs and thuds and a young woman claimed to speak to her dead sister.
 
But was it a ghost? What did haunt the Bowen family?
 
This book also covers the reaction of a country, the media, the stage plays and parodies, the attacks and the now lost movie that was made about the hauntings, in the Bowen house, while the haunting was actually happening. More importantly, this book names, for the first time, the most likely suspect for the source of the stone throwing, the failed attacks on Minnie Bowen and the reasons why.

 

Read about a mad rapist who lived in the Guyra area at the time, and where he fits into the story. The Guyra Ghost Mystery might never be solved, but this book, Hunting The Guyra Ghost, sheds new light on a near 100-year-old event.

In the post-war chaos she falls pregnant to her Yugoslav boyfriend, marrying him in a bid to avoid the hardship and stigma that blighted her childhood.

Life In The Past Lane.jpg
The lives of two families in Australia and the life that unfolded around them.
 
The Kingdom and O’Brien families began a new life in Australia during the mid- 1800s. The green and pleasant lands of home were gone; this brown and unforgiving land was their new home. These people had been given a second chance – one man arrived in chains, the rest arrived to avoid starvation. This was the real Survivor – many decades before the creation of B-grade celebrities. But there was more to each of their lives than two dates on a genealogy website.
 
What did they do during the days and nights? What could they buy and where could they buy it from? What was the entertainment like? Who or what was in the news? In these times there was no Facebook, CNN or even Gogglebox. How did they cope without them? When discovering the shenanigans of a great-great-grandfather who had fifteen children (but only five with his wife), the author also researched the times the families lived in. 
 
A dry sense of humour prevails with the occasional moment of reflection on the sadder moments. History can be funny, history can be sad – but we need to hear the stories. It is history and it is their story.

Jan and Ian Mitchell sailed their twenty-five foot yacht, Caprice, around the world between February 1974 and November 1977.

 

Jan writes about seasickness, gales, learning to navigate, coping with strong currents, rigging failure at sea and repairs. There are also the joys of friendships with other cruising folk, visits to tropical paradises and a stay on an uninhabited island.

Teutoburg to Witta - COVER front copy.jpg

European settlers arrived on the Blackall Range in the 1880s to carve out a place to live among thick vine scrub.

 

Selection offered them a chance to establish a place of their own, clearing the land using hand tools, felling trees and sawing them into timbers to establish homes, and fence smallholdings which grew into dairy farms. The predominantly German pioneers named their new home Teutoburg, in memory of the forest they left behind. For 30 years they built a community centred around dairy farms and their Lutheran faith.

 

All that changed in 1916 when, due to anti-German sentiment, Teutoburg was renamed Witta.

Hear Ocean Sing.jpg

In the third volume of Jan Mitchell’s sailing memoirs, Hear the Ocean Sing she tells of her own and Ian’s sufficient recovery in health to return to ocean cruising.

 

They dream of sailing to Chile and Cape Horn in a sturdy steel yacht. But reality soon hits hard that Libelle and the Chilean channels are not for them. Three years later, they find Osprey A, a tough Brolga 33, at Scarborough Marina in Queensland.

 

In this volume, Jan takes the reader to sea with her and Ian, experiencing severe seasickness and a dismasting, but also wondering at the beauties of the ocean, its creatures and the pristine wildernesses they visit. She also observes the alterations in wind patterns, currents, water and air temperatures as well as the decrease in corals and other sea life.

 

These are all symptomatic of the changing climate that is altering our planet’s weather and the world of ocean cruising.

Crossings In Realitas.jpg

Jan and Ian Mitchell (round the world sailors) bought Realitas in 1983 so they could take their two growing boys ocean cruising.

 

Crossings in Realitas tells of the trials and tribulations of raising their sons and teaching them to respect the ocean and sail her waves.

From Ireland to Istanbul via the UK, France, Germany,the Swiss Alps, Serbia, Bulgaria, Hungary and Turkey, with9000 kilometres of forgettable camp-sites, punctures, falls and  random kindnesses in between, this is a journey worth sharing, particularly when told with such candour.
 
All on a budget of nothing.
