Undo Me

 two dark figures down a hallway, with a picture of them on the floor.



Undo Me


At twenty-three, Emilia returns to the small town she once tried to escape, determined to begin again. With a new apartment, a place at City University, and dreams of becoming a writer, she is ready to take control of her future.
Then she meets Leon.

Dark, magnetic, and infuriatingly guarded, Leon is more than Emilia's across-the-hall neighbour. He is also her college project partner and the one man who refuses to be charmed by her beauty. Their attraction is immediate, their clashes electric, and staying away from each other soon becomes impossible.

But there is something unsettlingly familiar about Leon. Behind his cold smiles and wounded eyes lies a truth he refuses to reveal-a secret rooted in their shared past that Emilia no longer remembers.
As desire deepens into love, Leon's silence threatens to poison everything between them. Because some wounds never truly disappear, and when the past finally resurfaces, Emilia must decide whether their love was ever real-or whether the man she trusted entered her life only to destroy it.

Some people break your heart. Others undo you completely.

Set the Tone

 

Cup sitting on counter with Book Title

Belief without accountability goes soft. Accountability without belief breaks people. Great leaders do both. The workforce has changed. A new generation walked onto the floor carrying different expectations, and many are doing it in the middle of a workplace mental health crisis. The old playbook of pressure and fear no longer builds loyal teams. Neither does being everyone's friend. Set the Tone is a leadership book for restaurant managers, retail leaders, shift leads, and owners who want teams that care and deliver. Hospitality leadership coach Clay David Laugier draws on more than 20 years on the floor, verified research, and two unlikely coaches from television to show how belief and accountability work together. Inside, you'll learn: • The Ted Lasso Effect: how belief and curiosity build people who coach each other • The Shoresy Standard: how to hold a high bar without breaking your team • The Assist Standard: how to reward the people who make everyone else better • The Whole Roster Principle: why every person on your team brings strengths and opportunities, not weaknesses Every chapter ends with a Try This on Tuesday action you can use on your next shift, along with research sidebars that show the science behind the method. It reads as clearly for a new shift lead as it does for an owner. Set the Tone is Book Two of The Coaching Playbook For Modern Times series, following The Coaching Playbook: Lead with Heart. Coach with Clarity.

ELEVEN ELEMENTS BOOK ONE HEALING WATERS

     Earth with Lighting running through it.


ELEVEN ELEMENTS BOOK ONE HEALING WATERS:

Science Fiction Thriller Suspense Novel:


What If Humanity’s Peaceful Future Already Exists—But Is About to Be Erased?
At a time when war, division, and environmental crises dominate headlines, Eleven Elements: Book One – Healing Waters imagines a radically different future—one where humanity has overcome conflict and built a peaceful global society.

Set in the 26th century, the novel follows Commander Maxilon Renner and a team of time travelers sent back 500 years to protect a manuscript believed to have shaped humanity’s future. But when the mission fails, operatives are lost, Renner suffers partial amnesia, the author disappears and the manuscript vanishes—threatening to erase their utopian world from existence.

The lost document, The Manifesto of Eleven Elements, contains ideas that ultimately guide humanity toward environmental stewardship, global cooperation, and lasting peace.
Early reviews have praised the novel’s ambitious vision and philosophical depth.

⭐Readers’ Favorite calls it “a brilliant start to an epic sci-fi saga.” (Five - 5-star Reviews)
📚 BlueInk Review describes it as “both exciting and intellectually stimulating.”
📰 Kirkus Reviews calls it “plans for a better Earth packaged as a time-travel SF thriller.”

Beyond its time-travel premise, Eleven Elements explores broader questions about humanity’s trajectory. Can civilization consciously choose cooperation over conflict? Are lasting peace and environmental balance truly impossible—or have people simply stopped imagining them?

The book is the first installment in Joshi’s planned seven-volume Eleven Elements saga, a speculative series examining how human decisions shape the long-term destiny of civilization.
For readers drawn to science fiction that combines philosophical inquiry with high-concept storytelling, Eleven Elements: Book One – Healing Waters is a thrilling sci-fi adventure that dares to imagine lasting peace.

What Will Make Peace With Life Do For You?

What if the life you've been searching for isn't waiting somewhere in the future? What if happiness isn't hidden behind a bigger paycheck, a perfect relationship, or some magical moment when everything finally falls into place? In Making Peace With Life, Dr. Rob Alex invites you to step off the endless treadmill of "someday" and discover something far more powerful—the ability to find meaning, purpose, and peace right where you are. Through humor, honesty, personal insight, and metaphysical wisdom, this book helps you see that life isn't something to conquer or perfect. It's something to experience, learn from, and ultimately embrace.

Inside these pages, you'll explore the lessons hidden within life's greatest challenges and its most beautiful moments. You'll discover why there is no finish line to chase, why comparison steals joy, how energy connects us all, and why asking better questions may be more important than finding perfect answers. Whether you're navigating change, searching for direction, recovering from setbacks, or simply trying to understand your place in the world, this book offers a refreshing perspective that reminds you your life already has incredible value. It's not about becoming someone else—it's about understanding the incredible person you already are.

Most self-help books promise to give you answers. Making Peace With Life offers something even more valuable: permission. Permission to breathe when life feels overwhelming. Permission to grow without demanding perfection from yourself. Permission to appreciate your journey without comparing it to everyone else's. And most importantly, permission to make peace with life exactly as it is while still creating the future you desire. If you're ready to stop racing, stop chasing, and start truly living, then this book may be exactly what you've been looking for.
