Ever the Wayward Sky

The Civil War is over. But for Sergeant James Taft, there seems to be no end in sight. He had seldom considered what he would do after the war because he never believed he would live through it.

James briefly returns to Pennsylvania in an unsuccessful attempt to work as a farmer. He then sets out to find peace and somehow vanquish the ghosts in his soul. What he can't possibly foresee, as he rides west, is the epic story of tragedy, triumph, and finding oneself.

"It's unfortunate, but true, that darkness must often be complete before we notice the subtle glimmer of hope." - Doc Jefferies, Ever the Wayward Sky.

Living Above the Chaos: The Pathway to Personal Creation

 

Living Above the Chaos:

The Pathway to Personal Creation

By Owen Thomas Ashton, MD, ABVLM

What if everything you believe about yourself—and the world around you—is only part of the truth?

Living Above the Chaos is not your typical self-help guide. It’s a transformative journey written by a physician who has walked through both inner turmoil and spiritual clarity—and invites you to do the same. With a voice that is both deeply personal and boldly philosophical, Dr. Owen Thomas Ashton challenges readers to break free from the illusions of ego, fear, and conditioning to reconnect with something much deeper: your original perfection.

This book doesn’t promise quick fixes or surface-level motivation. Instead, it dares you to examine the story you’ve told yourself your entire life—and to ask whether you’re ready to surrender it for something more powerful, more truthful, and more peaceful.

Rooted in both scientific and metaphysical principles, Living Above the Chaos explores topics like intuitive awareness, natural law, and the Universal Subconscious Mind. It speaks to the deep, unspoken longing in many of us: to remember who we truly are before the world taught us who to be.

Through stories of personal transformation, meditative insights, and moments of spiritual awakening, Dr. Ashton makes the case that chaos is not something to be avoided—it’s something to rise above. In doing so, we rediscover the joy, love, and clarity that were always available to us… if only we would stop resisting and start remembering.

"You are the latest version of God’s greatest vision—perfect, powerful, and ready to remember who you truly are."

—Dr. Owen Thomas Ashton

If you’ve ever felt like something within you is meant for more—more peace, more understanding, more connection—this book offers not just permission, but a pathway. Because the project isn’t the world. The project is you.

And you were always meant to live above the chaos.

Restoring America's Greatness

Can America be a rich nation if we don't create our own goods and services? The short answer is no; we may be a wealthy country now, but that won't last long if manufacturing continues to decline. In this book, it will be no secret that reshoring has its problems and is preventing companies from making the switch to manufacturing in America.

In "Restoring America's Greatness," you will learn the damaging effects politics has had on American manufacturing and how policies such as the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) were an unfair deal for the American people. You will also discover how environmental policies are a hinderance to our success since they only give the upper hand to the competition. Additionally, the author will also argue the need for major protectionism and how corporations are taking advantage of the American people by offshoring their manufacturing and services.

Many believe that the need for free trade outweighs the impact on businesses, which would be hurt by foreign companies importing cheaper goods. But, too many Americans are getting the short end of the stick in the globalized economy. Manufacturing is potentially the most important industry in the United States economy, and it needs to be protected.

The Black Book of Branding:

7 Covert Steps to Becoming a Master in Branding

The Black Book of Branding is not for the average business owner. It’s for the ones who know they’re meant to dominate. This book doesn’t talk about colors, logos, or fonts. It talks about power. Control. Influence. The strategies brands have used for decades to shape your decisions—without you ever realizing it. Inside, you’ll learn the 7 covert steps to building a brand that doesn’t beg for attention, but commands it. Here’s what you’ll find inside: The Hidden Sales Killer – Why people aren’t buying from you even when your product is better. (Hint: It’s not price or quality. It’s perception.) The P.T. Barnum Effect – How to manufacture attention, create spectacle, and make the world stop and look.

Freud’s Fingerprints – The psychological levers that make brands unforgettable. (Like why Coke sells nostalgia, not soda.) How Airbnb Sold Belonging – A breakdown of how one brand went from illegal rentals to a global movement—without owning a single property. Why Ford Didn’t Invent the Car, But Still Won – A lesson in positioning, timing, and narrative control. The “Villain Strategy” – How picking a public enemy builds cult-like followings. How to Charge More Without Feeling Guilty – Stop underpricing yourself. Start positioning your brand like luxury. It’s filled with stories, not fluff. Psychology, not guesswork. And battle-tested branding concepts you can apply immediately—whether you’re building a personal brand, a business, or a movement. No theory. No sugarcoating. Just the raw, unfiltered truth about how branding actually works. If you’re tired of watching others blow up while you stay stuck, this is your wake-up call. This isn’t a branding book. It’s a playbook for power.

Re-Enlightening: A framework for practical political economic debate

 

Re-Enlightening:

A framework for practical political economic debate

Starting from the insight that economics is essentially sociology with a scorecard — that is, the outcome of political choices — this book invites the concerned citizen to confidently explore the options free people have to shape the economy they live and work within. What is the role of government? What role do private enterprise and investment play? Where does power reside, and how is it distributed and controlled?

The beauty of political economics lies in the many possible answers and far-reaching implications to these and other questions. The challenge is to examine these questions with an open, curious mind—free from inherited ideological bias.

At its heart, Re-Enlightening is an optimistic call to action, a belief in the power of an informed citizenry to engage in honest debate about the future economy already taking shape around us. This book is a contribution to that essential conversation—one grounded in economic possibility and human potential.

The Ole Antmythopoeia: An Incomplete Trilogy (Miscellaneous Book 1)

  

The Ole Antmythopoeia:

An Incomplete Trilogy

(Miscellaneous Book 1)

This is an INTERPRETATION GAME. The rules are simple: In the following pages, piece together the numerous illustrations and words into a narrative that makes sense to you.

This style of storytelling, called REMIX FICTION, is how the ants tell each other stories; in particular, fables from their nihilistic deism called NARANATHISM.

I've scoured the RETROPRESENT in search of the ants' fables and have found their greatest one in an incomplete form. Divided into three parts, I've presented it in the form of a metafictional video game; an important aspect of NARANATHISM.

This wonder tale, called GRASSHOPPER SHARPSHOOTER, tells the life story of Airen Tony Coleman; a metafictional deity who the ants consider to be the greatest within their meta pantheon.

The Incomplete Trilogy, as some among the ants call it, consists of a BACKSTORY, SOCIAL RPG and STARTER GUIDE. Playing this INTERPRETATION GAME of the ants will challenge your understanding of nihilism in a profound way. In its incompleteness, this trilogy of DIVINE MADNESS best exemplifies the Japanese concept of "wabi-sabi"; a kind of beauty within the flawed.

I implore you, potential player, to have fun figuring out what you're reading. Not a soul has yet to ascertain the intrinsic meaning contained within GRASSHOPPER SHARPSHOOTER. Mayhap you'll be the one to achieve the improbable. Oh, and if you're patient, read all the way to the end of this tome for a teaser.

As for myself, it's back to the RETROPRESENT. The numerous INTERPRETATION GAMES of NARANATHISM demand a discoverer and I intend to discover. Expect more wonder tales in the future, if FORTUNE will have me.

Make good small decisions.
