Out of Chaos

About Out of Chaos

A harrowing true story of choices and consequences. As a teenager, Elle Mott descended into hopelessness. Her life as a criminal and a vagrant led her deeper into the darkness. Balancing multiple identities, the more secrets she kept, the more lies she needed. She sheds personas, rebelling against who she was and who she’s becoming, but thousands of hitchhiked miles can’t distance her from the crushing expectations of her great-grandmother’s legacy. Until she surrenders to herself, she will never find her way out of chaos.

Author Bio
I’ve lived a life of contrasts, from corporate boardrooms in Europe and the U.S. to the back of an ambulance on a 911 call. After a successful career in international business leadership, I made the bold decision to retrain as a paramedic at age 50. Bottom Line to Lifeline is the story of that journey: a year of reinvention, challenge, purpose, and unexpected fun.

I’ve always been drawn to new perspectives, whether in life, business, or the outdoors. When I’m not working with EMS teams, consulting, or writing, you can find me hiking or mountain walking (Snowdonia in North Wales, UK, is a favorite) or out on the open road on my motorcycle. I also play both guitar and violin—music brings a kind of clarity and expression that words often can’t.

My writing reflects my conviction that life is too short to remain stagnant, that we’re all capable of profound transformation, and that the most meaningful work we can do often begins when we venture far outside our comfort zone.

If you’ve ever wondered what it might be like to change everything, or if you’re curious about what happens behind the scenes in emergency medical care, I hope you’ll find something in this book that inspires or stays with you.

Gigia And Me! An Extraordinary Journey by Jasmine L. Quan

About Gigia And Me! An Extraordinary Journey by Jasmine L. Quan

How the Love of a Cat Transformed a Life

“Cats know how to win our love without ever asking for it.”

This touching truth lies at the heart of GIGIA AND ME! An Extraordinary Journey, the inspiring memoir by Jasmine L. Quan. Much like A Street Cat Named Bob, this book tells a powerful story of redemption, resilience, and the transformative power of the human-animal bond.

Jasmine L. Quan had it all — an exciting career in the world of fashion and luxury, only to trade it for a cause far greater: rewilding the South China tiger. Her groundbreaking work, featured in global media such as BBC, The Los Angeles Times, and Science, put her at the forefront of wildlife conservation. But life took an unexpected turn. When she lost everything — her career, home, and sense of purpose — she hit rock bottom.

Then came Gigia, a small tabby cat with emerald-green eyes and an even bigger spirit. What started as a simple companionship soon became an extraordinary partnership, teaching Jasmine to see life through new eyes. Their adventures across Italy’s stunning landscapes — from the sun-kissed shores of Calabria to the historic streets of Venice — became a journey of healing, rediscovery, and love.

“Gigia didn’t just walk into my life — she saved it. With her quiet charm, she reminded me of the power of trust, laughter, and finding beauty in the smallest moments.” – Jasmine L. Quan

More than just a memoir, GIGIA AND ME! is a celebration of resilience, unexpected friendships, and the incredible lessons animals can teach us. With humour, heart, and profound insights, the book also includes an easy-to-follow appendix on training cats, making it a must-read for animal lovers and pet trainers alike.

Praise for GIGIA AND ME!

“A book as wonderful and magical as Gigia the cat!”
— Anthony Frewin, author of The Lion of Canterbury

“A heartwarming and inspiring journey of determination, self-discovery, and triumph over adversity, made even more poignant by the devotion of one extraordinary cat.”
— Lynn Santer, author of Sins of Life

The Adventures of a Florida Boy by Jim Melvin

The Adventures of a Florida Boy by Jim Melvin

NEW RELEASE: Many of us are in need of relief, and we sometimes search for something good-natured and joyous to put a smile on our faces. This is what “Florida Boy” is all about. This sweet memoir will make you laugh and feel happy in that stomach-warming way that fond memories tend to inspire, and it can be read in one or two sittings. Melvin’s boyhood was spent in Florida in the 1960s on an island called Coquina Key. His parents’ waterfront home overlooked a wide expanse of Tampa Bay. Back then, parts of the island were undeveloped, which left room for climbing trees, digging forts, and swimming in shark-infested waters. Some of the things he and his friends did were downright dangerous. But they didn’t care. They were the rulers of their domain. Readers will discover moments that will awaken their own childhood memories, regardless of where and when they grew up.

About Passport, Pasta & Parenting by Jodie Schiavo

What if you packed up your kids, paused “normal life,” and moved to Italy for a year?
