Book I

Soulshaping is the inspiring memoir of an archetypal ''''''''male warrior''''''''-a trial lawyer-who struggled to find his heart and a more authentic, soulful path. Rivetingly personal and profoundly universal, this book is for anyone who has heard a whisper of something truer calling out to them amid the distractions of modern life. Jeff Brown's dramatic and often funny story takes readers through remarkably human experiences-emotional, physical, and economic-as he vividly recounts his troubled childhood, his success in apprenticing with Canada's top criminal lawyer, and his ultimate decision to leave the law and begin an inner journey to discover his soul's purpose. A work of courageous self-creation, Soulshaping reminds us that we are all truly connected, that our seemingly isolated struggles are actually part of the shared human challenge to live a life that is heart-centered and soul-driven. Both down-to-earth and magically mystical, Soulshaping will meet you where you live-and where you long to live.

Can we do a deal? If you buy this book, to help raise money for meningitis and septicaemia research, you will be taken around the world. What do you think?I'll take that as a maybe. For this world trip, you just need a comfortable seat and a glass of something good. We are aiming to reach every continent, but your guide is Jeff so don't blame me if he doesn't get you past Calais. Although he does promise you a disappearing hostel, wrong trains, flashing Danes, vulture assassins, lost cities, a thoroughly wrong but delightfully British sweepstake, murder on the Inca Trail, a death-defying comeback and so much more.These are the seven travel diaries of Jeff Brown sewn into one book. He takes you on a journey of novice interrailing in Europe, surviving the beautiful culture shock of India, simple backpacking in Australia, exploring Peru in a group trip, seeing the wildlife of Namibia and finally on to an almost competent solo traveller in Mexico and Guatemala. Then, just when you are most comfortable, the last diary will catapult you into the land of PICU.At the very least, read the last diary, as your life, or something even more important, may depend on it.80% of the author royalties from this book are being donated to the Meningitis Research Foundation. The Meningitis Research Foundation helps to power the research, action and advocacy for a world free from meningitis and septicaemia.Updates on the amount raised and pictures from the events in this book are on Jeff's website.

Following the events of "Vampire War: Resistance," the task force is alerted to the arrival of The Four, initially believed to help their cause in defeating the vampires, but research shows that the group will arrive to grant the master vampire, Suraya, a greater power than ever before, more than any vampire has held at any time in history. As the insertion team rushes to find them, the government sets up a group to begin building resistance groups around the country, but the effort is stalled by the trial of the traitor that allowed the walled town of Sanctuary to be invaded.
