'If' is just a regular word with no special grammar. If you can read this description, you can speak and write like a native English speaker, and you don’t need to memorize ‘Business English’ phrases and do hundreds of grammar exercises to do it. Relax, It’s Just English will show you that you already know most of the vocabulary and grammar you need to speak and write better English.

Joe Pitts, a brilliant if somewhat obsessive and cynical graduate student from a wealthy dysfunctional family lashes out under pressure against what he sees as the hypocrisy of society and the futility of his life in it. Briefly committed to a psychiatric ward in the aftermath of an altercation with one of his professors, he meets Dr. Margaret Wright, a resident and Susan Holland, a somewhat mystical nursing student. Just as Joe begins to believe that his intellect and his Ego can overcome what he sees as a minor troubling interlude in his life, he receives a shock. It is a diagnosis of terminal testicular cancer. With the aid of Dr. Wright, Susan, Roberta Turner, a philosophical fellow student and Dr. Shultz, the very professor with whom his altercation began this odyssey, and a man whose wife has just made the final passage, Joe learns in the hospice to revere his own, now fleeting existence and gains the humility necessary to face the next and final stage of his life.

Nomadic construction worker Vlad inadvertently gains superpowers and enters ultratime after guzzling a radioactive energy drink he finds near the nuclear-disaster site of Chernobyl. Svetlana, an army veteran coping with PTSD, sees Vlad crash back into real time, finds him unconscious, and saves his life. They bond over this secret, fall in love, and decide to use the stash of energy drinks to fight evil as the superhero duo HyperVigilanté. Both sci-fi adventure and love story, this David-versus-Goliath tale set in Russia is rife with pop culture references from video games, movies, TV series, music, and even scripture. A fun and funny mash-up of Russian and American cultures, it’s a wild ride with Vlad and Svetlana as they battle mobsters, terrorists, and corrupt politicians while building a new life together. If you want the explosive action of the Equalizer paired with the awkward nerdiness of Napoleon Dynamite and served with a side of Easter eggs like Ready Player One, then HyperVigilanté belongs in your hands! Buy yourself a copy! An early reader of the book said, “A good book makes me consider how the characters would react to real world situations. You’ve made me do that with Vlad and Svetlana.”

Callum Eden is a hotshot financial executive who in time becomes an insatiable womaniser, with a scorn for commitment and happy living life at the top of his game. But, one day, having already woken up in a bad mood, he is greeted by some bad news. His life rapidly falls apart, and he struggles to make sense of it all. He is perplexed as to why hes experiencing such a dramatic contrast to his life. He had everything going for him, particularly in his career, but he has to learn very quickly that there is no such thing as a perfect life. Callum now faces a torrent of emotions that he struggles to cope with and feelings he is unable to express. The accident, the change to his fortune, and his new allies sets him on a journey of mental and emotional self-discovery. In Callums opinion, his own lack of concerns added to his fallen angel syndrome. He redeems himself by learning to rely on action rather than imagination to steer himself out of his crisis. However, his interpretation is problematic because they cause a chain reaction. His only comfort is his subconscious reality; a place where he finds some form of sanity until actual reality resumes once again. Thus, he must try to establish a link between the two realities to find comfort and confidence in what he is experiencing. His life changes and veers off course, with compelling complexities and brutal and seemingly honest decisions. Some of which are rewarded with quick fixes, but results are above the pleasures of deeper self-discovery. Others are extremely deceptive with scenes of betrayal and corruption. His biggest critic comes from an unusual source, with whom he agrees in time may bring him closure. But, just when he thinks everything is fine, the unexpected occurs. An option arises that could give the impression of remoteness, a distant hope, but will it be to his advantage?
