This is not a recipe book or a diet plan book. It is not a book about using a difficult and strict diet and exercise to lose weight and keep it off.

This book will give you a much easier way of doing both.

It will show you how to stop your cravings for unhealthy foods and make sure you eat the most nutritious foods in the correct amount to help you lose weight and improve your health. 



Elaine says, "Losing weight is not an easy thing to do. I realised in my twenties that the most sensible thing to do was not to put it on in the first place. 

Many think this is not possible, but I have maintained my weight for all of my adult life, so I can testify that it is possible. 

And you can use the same method I used, to maintain your weight or lose the extra weight you gained and to keep it off. Let me show you how."

WILD EXTREMES - Ray Andrews - AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER

Picture
BOOK INFORMATION: A new approach to the backstory to Australia’s geographic records.

Informative reading for anyone interested in learning more about our amazing continent, this would also be an ideal guide for overseas tourists, grey nomads, and anyone else travelling our amazing country. The places listed are not in the usual travel brochures and are not to be missed. 

SYNOPSIS: Wild Extremes is here to uncover Australia's geographical records: like where is the longest beach, the deepest lakes, the oldest rocks and the hottest springs. This isn't a book of endless records but rather tells the backstory to Australia's geographic records. It explores the controversies around records and looks at how plants and animals have adapted to places of extreme.

This is a unique story of the continent and islands of Australia. It scrutinises this nation through the lens of its geographic records. It explores Australia's deserts, beaches, mountains, rivers, waterfalls, aquifers and lakes. But have you also wondered about Australian glaciers, or volcanoes? Where are the largest and oldest meteorite craters? What were the largest earthquakes? Where are the largest waves and why are marine megafauna attracted to submarine canyons that incise Australia's continental shelf? 

These questions and more are answered when we examine Australia's Wild Extremes.

Matthew Anderson

Science Fiction ​at its finest!

Can a human mind exist in a cybernetic brain in an animal body, stuck in an endless cycle of life, death, and reincarnation without losing their humanity and their minds? 

Review: 'The emotional struggle of the carnivorous animals as they fight human morals and emotions that interfere with the need to kill for food is handled well.

As if that isn't enough, they have to fight to save their species and themselves from a madman out to torture and kill them.

Although it contains violence that may offend some, the story is gripping and you won't be able to put this down once you start.'
