<span style="letter-spacing: 1.1px;">June 5, 1968: Senator Robert F. Kennedy, then a candidate for President and victorious in the California primary, was mortally wounded by assassin Sirhan Sirhan as he exited the ballroom at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles.

<span style="letter-spacing: 1.1px;">Swept up in the turbulent events of 1968, Alex is captivated both by the Presidential race and by Vietnam, where he had recently been a war correspondent. His time in Vietnam had cost him his marriage and bitterly separated him from his own family. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Who are you? What underlying beliefs create the nature of the reality you inhabit?</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Martha Mathewson, a professor of psychology, was sure she knew who she was and what she believed in. For years she belittled her soon to be ex-husband, a revered astrophysicist, over his passion for the quantum universe, and for little green men and the star civilizations they come from. But when Don Mathewson suddenly dies, when she finds out he was murdered, his files have been targeted, and she's in danger, life as she's known it becomes upended.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">As Martha is inexorably drawn into Don's world, a world which includes shadowy covert operatives who break into her house, she's moved to Tucson, Arizona, met an alto saxophonist/ rock hound, her daughter has joined her, and a small metal ball discovered in Don’s old oak desk (a ball which emits a bluish halo in the dark, dances to jazz, and communicates telepathically) is talking to her, saying it needs her help.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">When she’s asked the metal orb ‘who are you?’ It says: ‘We are you.’ When she’s asked, ‘where do you come from?’ It answers: ‘Your future.’ When she’s asked, ‘what did you come for?’ It explains: To help you.’</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">In this new confusing life, Martha is being forced to abandon old beliefs about the nature of reality while also trying to stay alive. And as you leave this story you might find yourself asking: do I <strong>really</strong> know who I am? And you might wonder whether now is a perfect time to begin to find out...</span><br />

"Another tantalizing continuation of the mystery series surrounding
the lives of Private Investigators Sam and Amelia Slater. This book was
sultry, captivating, and impossible to put down. In this suspenseful
story, a wealthy damsel named Helen Latos has been receiving threatening
messages from an anonymous harasser in regards to her affair with a
married man. The messages contain quotes of Bible verses that state that
adulterers shall be put to death. Seeing as she herself is married
also, the messages leaves Helen feeling like her life is in danger just
as much as her secret lover.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Frightened and
vulnerable, Helen comes to Sam and Amelia for help, but something about
her demeanor puts Amelia off. Despite her situation she is clearly
attracted to Sam, and obviously has no problem seducing married men --
but ultimately her plea for help as well as her offer to pay double for
their services wins them over and they decide to take her offer. As they
begin working on her case, the messages get more personal and include
information about the affair that only someone that is close to the
situation could know about, which complicates things further. Could the
person who is sending these messages be someone that Helen trusts? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As
all of this is taking place, the man who previously stalked and
kidnapped Amelia, Simon Blanco, has escaped from jail. His unhealthy
obsession with Amelia fuels him and he devises a plan to capture
her...and this time, he is determined that nothing will stand in his
way. This time, he is sure he will not be caught, and he will do all the
terrible things to Amelia that he has fantasized about during his time
in prison. Amelia's nightmares about him worsen as she receives news of
his escape and puts her and those around her on edge.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Seeing
this story all come together was riveting. I read the book start to
finish in one sitting; it was just so hard to put down! I love a good
mystery book and Greg Messel's Sam Slater series never disappoints. This
book is amazing even as a standalone. I thoroughly enjoyed it!"</div>

<br />
<br />In his new novel, Out of the Depths, author David Harry Tannenbaum uses fictional Holocaust survivor Dr. Bernard Helgman to highlight the unresolved—and, perhaps, unsolvable—trauma that follows a man long after he leaves the barbed wire fence behind. Survivor’s guilt is now a recognized emotional and psychological condition that sometimes follows military personnel home from the war.<br /><br />After World War I, people started using the term “survivor’s guilt” to describe the returning soldiers who carried the heavy burden of guilt that often comes from surviving when others did not. After World War II, doctors saw similar anxiety symptoms in Holocaust survivors they observed in soldiers who survived combat or citizens who survived natural disasters, terrorist attacks, plane crashes, and sudden loss of jobs.<br /><br />It is these feelings that plague protagonist Dr. Bernard Helgman, who is haunted by dark memories and remorse of his time in Auschwitz, before he was even an adult. During the Holocaust, Helgman—a Jewish prisoner—had been forced to assist the SS doctors in their gruesome experiments.<br /><br />David Harry Tannenbaum says, “Helgman&#39;s struggle to put Auschwitz behind him is a powerful story of our human drive to survive whatever life throws our way.” Tannenbaum says this story is important to him, after learning more about the Holocaust during law school. Despite having grown up Jewish, Tannenbaum had not been exposed to an in-depth examination of the Holocaust.<br /><br />He spent the next forty years making up for it. In law school, he read cases stemming from the Nuremburg Trials. After graduation, while doing charity work in New Jersey, Tannenbaum met a man who had his concentration camp number tattooed on his arm. He was inspired to talk to Holocaust survivors and research the long-term mental and emotional impact of the trauma it caused, culminating in Out of the Depths.<br /><br />David Harry Tannenbaum<br /><br />David Harry Tannenbaum is a retired patent attorney and the author of five mystery novels, as well as a novel on autism and Asperger's &#39;s syndrome—Standard Deviation. Originally from the East Coast, David was introduced to South Padre Island in 1992. Tannenbaum, and his wife, Mary, now live on the island with their dog, Franco. When not on the Island, David and Mary can usually be found enjoying Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.<br /><br />For more information, please visit http://davidharryauthor.com/.<br />

influence over your attitude, achievement, time, success, happiness,
relationships, and overall prosperity than you can imagine. Self-talk is
best defined as the thoughts and words you use to describe you and what
you are doing.<br />
<br />
Regardless of whether your inner conversation
remains in your head or is expressed out loud to others, there are seven
words that can hold you back. These words are: hard, difficult, tough,
impossible, can’t, try and never, and usually make an appearance when
referencing future actions, especially those related to adversity. <br />
<br />
Why
should you stop using these seven words? Aside from focusing on the
negative, they generate additional mental adversity to overcome and sow
seeds of doubt that prevent you from making a full commitment. <br />
<br />
Do
you occasionally find yourself saying, this is going to be hard,
writing is tough for me, or I will never finish this book? Is there some
blanket rule that says something will be hard, tough or difficult, or
that you will never get something done? <br />
<br />
Have you ever heard a
coach tell their team a game will be tough, difficult or impossible to
win? Of course not. He or she would never plant such a thought virus
into the heads of their players. <br />
<br />
When you approach the writing
and promotion of your book or plan to give a keynote speech, use
self-talk that affirms and supports what you are going to do. Thinking
and saying, I can do this, is a great example of affirmative self-talk
that opens pathways to producing your best effort. <br />
<br />
Right about
now, you are probably wondering what I suggest you think and say in
place of the seven words you should drop from your self-talk vocabulary.
In my view, simply referring to a response or future action as a
challenge is preferable because it does not generate mental adversity.
An example of its use would be, writing this book is going to be a real
challenge. A statement that readies you for the path that lies ahead. <br />
<br />
In
the midst of a crisis, intentionally referring to actions as challenges
might seem trivial, ridiculous, or uncomfortable at first. What you
will soon experience, however, is a <br />
noticeable difference in the way you think and feel when using the word challenge in place of a more negative expression. <br />
<br />
Referring
to intentions and actions as challenges sets the stage for mental
clarity, optimism, possibility thinking, inspired action, creativity,
and aha moments. <br />
<br />
Establishing clear goals and intentions and then
crafting an inner conversation that supports them is crucial to making
self-talk your most important resource and greatest ally in achievement.
If you have trouble keeping the seven words I mentioned unsaid,
remember this sage advice from many a wise mother, if you can’t say
something positive, don’t say anything at all. <br />

On the hottest day of the year in San Francisco in 1959, Private Detectives Sam and Amelia Slater are contemplating fleeing the city for their Stinson Beach house. However, when Sam decides to take a cable car ride to run some errands on the lazy summer day, he’s suddenly thrust into the spotlight when he rescues a woman who fell onto the busy street. Sam pulls the mysterious red haired woman out of the path of an oncoming cable car in the nick of time. The entire incident is captured by a newspaper photographer who splashes Sam’s heroics all over the front page. Sam is troubled not only by his new status as a city hero, but by the rescued woman’s plea for help. She whispers to Sam that she didn’t fall from the cable car but was pushed. She is frightened and disappears into the crowd before Sam can get more details. A San Francisco newspaper launches a campaign to find the mystery woman and Sam hopes to cross paths with her again.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Amelia is troubled by the sudden disappearance of her elderly neighbor. Two thuggish younger men who now occupy the house next door say he took a sudden trip. One night when she’s alone Amelia grabs a flashlight and finds some disturbing clues in her neighbor’s garage. What really happened to her neighbor? Amelia is determined to find out. Award winning author Greg Messel spins a new tale of intrigue in Cable Car Mystery, the sixth book in the Sam Slater Mystery series set in at the 1950s in San Francisco.<br />

We tend to think they are inferior, stupid or even ugly because they don’t have our dress, money or education. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> I grew up in Johannesburg where clothing was western. In industrial Johannesburg, we lived with most South African tribes and we spoke most of their languages. What I did not know is that people in the city came from the rural areas where people wore their tribal clothing all the time. The tribal clothing in South Africa is very interesting because every tribe has their own tribal attire. In the city, we referred to clothing by brand name. Most European countries benefited from the lifestyle. Girls, for instance, knew when the shoe brand Saxone, from Scotland, had arrived at the store and before the week was over, that very expensive shoe would have been sold out. With that kind of a lifestyle, you tend to think that you are better than the tribal people who only wore their tribal traditional dress. Until my personal experience, I did not know that the tribal people also thought we were stupid and ugly because we did not dress like them.</span></div>

My friends and I from Johannesburg confronted tribal teenagers about their dress. We questioned them about their bare backs especially about not wearing bras. We thought they lived in the middle of nowhere where there were no foreigners and knew nothing about bras. We simply asked them why they did not wear bras. Their response taught us that living apart made people think the ones who were not like them were stupid and/or ugly. The girls simply told us that we were brainwashed by foreigners who made us wear bras that made our breasts not look as youthful as theirs. We were shocked that the uneducated rural girls thought they were better than us.</span></div>

One of the major things that distinguishes you from others is your voice. It's both the sound of your voice and they way you say things. When you write you also have a voice, and it distinguishes you from other writers. In this case it's the way you write things. And if you write in pleasant and interesting way that is characteristic of your personality, people will be drawn to it, and are more likely to read it. Because of this it's important to develop a pleasing and readable writing voice. This article shows you how to do this.<br />
<br />
Voice is what characterizes a writer; it is something you recognize immediately, in the same way you recognize a singer after he or she has sung only a few words. One of the most important things in achieving a pleasant voice is writing the way you talk. The problem with this, however, is that your "talking voice" may not be pleasant, interesting, or even grammatically correct. Furthermore, some people have boring speech patterns, and if they wrote the way they talked, they would also be boring. So a good writing voice isn't something that comes naturally, and it usually takes time to develop it. It's much like a good singing voice; some people are born with one, but most people have to work at improving what they have, and this can take time.<br />
<br />
You likely have some feeling for what a good writing voice is. On occasion I'm sure you have picked up a book or article with a promising title only to discover that the writing, though clear and fairly concise, was boring. It just wasn't interesting to read, and you found yourself struggling to stay with it. At other times you may have started to read something of only modest interest to you and discovered after a few paragraphs that you were enthralled with it. And you soon realized it was because of the writing; it was almost as if the writer was talking to you.<br />
<br />
How Do You Achieve Voice?<br />
<br />
Let me say right off that voice is something you want to develop, and it's worth your time to try to develop it. So let's turn to how you develop it. Two things are needed: relaxation and self-confidence. First of all, you must totally relax when you write and let the true "you" come through, but at the same time you must be sure your writing has most of the things such as interest, readability and so on, that appeal to readers. Let's look at each of these in more detail.<br />
<br />
Most people feel confident when they are conversing with friends, and the reason, of course, is that they are relaxed. We are relaxed when we talk because we do it so often, and we're particularly relaxed when we talk to friends because we don't worry about what we say. It stands to reason, then, that if you want to put voice into your writing, you should do a lot of writing - and indeed, this the key. The more you write, the more natural it becomes, and the easier it is for you to do. No longer will you have to sit and think about what you should say (at least it won't take as long). Writing will become as easy as talking.<br />
<br />
It's important also that you relax so that your writing sounds like your conversational voice. Don't get me wrong, though. You still have to make sure what you write is interesting and entertaining. So there's more to developing voice than just writing as you talk. But it's a first step. You still have to make sure your writing is grammatically correct, readable, and clear, and you have to keep these things in mind as you write, but don't worry about them in your first draft. That is what revision is for.<br />
<br />
I also mentioned that you have to have confidence in your ability to write, and of course, this goes for almost anything you're trying to master. Without confidence you won't get far. As your writing improves, however, your confidence will also increase. Something that helps is to read what you have written out loud occasionally; listen to how it sounds. Compare it to other writing. Other things that also help will be described below.<br />
<br />
'Soak Up" An Author<br />
<br />
Another technique that is useful in developing voice is what I call "soaking up an author." You no doubt have several authors that you particularly admire. And, as you might expect, they can be helpful in developing your voice. Begin by looking carefully at the way they write. Study their "style." Think about how they are achieving their results. Don't copy them directly, but try to emulate their good points. Incorporate some of them into your writing. The important point is not to copy a particular one, but copy the best of several. It's important to remember that you are different and have a different personality than any of these authors, so you're going to write differently. So use what you can from them, but continue to be yourself.<br />
<br />
It's also very useful to compare something you have written to a few paragraphs of one of your favorite authors. Ask yourself if it is as good. If you feel it isn't revise it until you feel it is as good.<br />
<br />
Free Writing<br />
<br />
Another thing that I feel is very helpful is what I call "free writing." Free writing is just letting yourself go and writing anything that comes into your mind. A good way of doing this is by keeping a "writing book" (or journal) and writing in it every day. The important things when you're doing this is to keep going - don't spend a lot of time thinking about what you should write. Just write nonstop for, say, 15 minutes. Don't worry about how good it is, just keep going. Write about yourself: a recent experience, a memory, or something that happened at the office that day. You may find that when you first try this it will be hard to continue for 15 minutes. But as you continue doing it, it will become easier, and in the process you will help improve your voice.<br />
<br />
Breathing Life into Your Writing<br />
<br />
Something else that helps is "breathing life into your writing." It's a little different from free writing, but it's also important. Think about something that means a lot to you. Then let your feelings show as you write about it. Try to get emotion into your writing; in essence, write with feeling. Particularly helpful in this case is writing about something you have actually experienced.<br />
<br />
Peter Elbow sums up the process in his book "Writing With Power." He says, "If you want to breathe life into your writing so that readers will get a powerful experience from it, you must breathe experience into your words as you write. This can be done best by showing, not telling.<br />
<br />
In Conclusion<br />
<br />
Don't worry about voice too much in your first draft. You'll likely be too busy getting things down in a logical, orderly fashion, and keeping your facts straight. Just relax and write as naturally as possible. Don't strain for voice - leave that to your revision.<br />

Compiled and written by co-authors Erik Campano, Isabel Esteviz, Sheila Taylor-Downer and Robyn Williams, literary collaborators, based on their own experience inside various American and International religious institutions. The compelling tome discusses in-depth how the manipulation of believers, ranging from sexual abuse, to psychological, financial and other forms, threatens to tarnish and destroy not only trusted, longstanding religious institutions, but ultimately even the faith of the faithful.</span></div>

Logan Henry’s new novel, ‘Times Chariot’, is a celebration of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a life that reflects upon one man’s unique and exciting experiences.<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />Most people would expect their older years to be peaceful: they’ve worked hard throughout their youth, they retire, and live out their days enjoying hobbies and perhaps being with their families. That is not quite the case with the protagonist of Logan Henry’s Times Chariot. In this new novel, the man reflects on the many adventures of his life while, on the eve of his 80th birthday, he faces both an assassination attempt and a budding romance. <br /><br />Faced with a terrifying fate, the man in Times Chariot relives portions of his extremely full past. Readers meet the family whose influence shaped him, and travel to his boyhood home. They are also given a window into the experiences of a sniper in WWII as he remembers his days in the Marine Corps. The man is even repeatedly visited by visions of his first kill as a sniper: a Japanese soldier who is framed in telescopic sight. The experience of being a sniper as well as those he had subsequent to the war, lead him to hate killing. However, with a drug lord threatening to take his life and destroy all he holds dear, he may now have to do it to survive. <br /><br />Times Chariot is, at times, a tense thriller, while, at others, an earnest and inspiring portrait of an uncommon life. From the man’s friendships to the women he’s loved, he is able to reflect on the brighter aspects of life while facing a potentially terrible fate, making Logan Henry’s novel a true celebration of life in its many unique forms. <br /><br />Logan Henry <br /><br />Logan Henry is a retired Texas lawyer. He is an avid reader, hunter, sportsman, farmer-stockman, historian, amateur poet and a Christian believer; a husband, father and grandfather; a former athlete, military officer and enlisted man with great respect for our armed forces. His earnest desire is that the reader be absorbed, challenged, enamored, exhilarated and transported.<br /><br />For more information, please visit http://www.authorloganhenry.com/<br /><br />###<br /><br />For media inquiries, or to request a review copy, please contact: <br /><br />Logan Henry<br /><br />lhsjr(at)sbcglobal.net</div>

<br />
Jon D. Gemma’s ‘The Sun Made Me Sneeze,’ is a frank and engrossing autobiography of a young man’s journey as he attempts to define himself through art. <br />
<br />
Many books are written about a young man’s journey for self-discovery. Some are great, others too self-indulgent—typically, though, they are works of fiction. Jon D. Gemma’s The Sun Made Me Sneeze is a nonfiction version of these tales; honest and unflinching, the book catalogues the author’s own youth and his struggle to overcome the labels so often associated with mental illness. <br />
<br />
After struggling to fit in and make friends, a young Jon is diagnosed as schizotypal. He struggles through adolescence and the grip of institutions, while hoping to achieve greatness. Deeply impacted by the ‘dehumanizing’ labels that have been thrust upon him his whole life, Gemma muses about his life, searching for meaning. His writing carries a sense of unreality, while references to pop culture anchor the piece in the familiarity of our world. <br />
<br />
Like many journeys of self-discovery, The Sun Made Me Sneeze is a bold search for truth. However, Gemma’s search reaches further and deeper, questioning the existence of God, fear, aliens, and the known universe. The reader questions reality along with him, making for an engrossing and exciting experience. <br />
<br />
The Sun Made Me Sneeze is a courageous piece; Jon D. Gemma’s lifelong isolation allows him insights that many others do not see. In some ways reminiscent of Salinger, Gemma’s writing distinguishes itself in its autobiographical nature. It is more winding yet more fragmented; a portrait of the man himself, and his lifelong struggles as he continues to pursue truth. <br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">An
introspective look into the life of Ray Ryan, this narrative, delivered
from the lips of the main character directly addresses the reader to
join him through his life’s journey – one of joy and sorrow, success and
failure, decline and growth. Published through Pen Press, Aiden Riley’s
</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Ray Ryan</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
pulls the reader into Ray’s life, intervals spanning from childhood and
young adolescence to adulthood, making strong emotional connections to
significant experiences throughout his development.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Written
in the style of a dialogue, Riley effects a conversational narrative;
this clever approach helps connect the reader to Ray, whose experiences
mirror the turbulent walk of life many of us have traveled. This
approach is reminiscent of Salinger’s </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The Catcher in the Rye</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">, where the story’s main character, Holden Caufield, addresses the reader in the first few lines of the book: “</span><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If
you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want
to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and
how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that
David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if
you want to know the truth” (Salinger).</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
Riley deftly addresses the reader similarly at the beginning of his
novel, while invoking one of Ray’s more deep-seated, emotional memories.
Through this approach, the reader cannot suspend his/her own notion of
self-identity like one could with any other style; here, the reader is
not only enticed to examine the story, but becomes part of it as well.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Similar to the aforementioned Salinger work, </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Ray Ryan</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
is a bildungsroman: a novel concerning a young character’s growth into
maturity – what some would call a “coming of age” story. Ray’s narrative
recounts crucial moments in his life, moving from school and college to
his entrance into the workforce and professional life. What is alluring
and captivating about this story is the realism Riley is able to effect
in his fiction. Ray’s life is filled with ups and downs – trials and
tribulations that serve to mold the man he is to become. He is no
victim, nor superhero; he is both blessed and cursed. The vivid
descriptions of each scene color in his back-story, while Ray’s
disposition and thought processes change as he grows. This is a
difficult transition for an author to make: a character who, in one
story, must constantly evolve over the span of 30 years. Riley manages
to pull it off quite well, as Ray’s childhood is wrought with
alienation, awkwardness, and an overall disconnection from society,
while older Ray, through both his actions and reflections, elicits an
individual who has learned, adapted, and advanced through his own inner
growth. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Ray
experiences many of the common crises we all share, and this
strengthens his connection to the reader, as well as the reader’s
emotional investment into the story. As we follow Ray through his life’s
path, we question (as we have in our own lives) every action and
decision we’ve made, trying to determine: what kind of person will I
become? How have the events of my life shaped who I am today? Like Ray,
the painfulness of growing up will sometimes prompt us to shrink away
from the present, and ruminate over the past: a time when understanding
very little protected us from the harsh realities of existence. As we
travel with Ray on his life’s journey, we end up feeling what he feels,
touching upon our own scars of love and loss. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In
one scene, a matured Ray reflects upon the state of his (now aged)
childhood dog as being, “a shadow of his former self.” Here, Ray
recognizes how much his dog has changed, yet he hardly noticed the
progression. In this moment, Ray’s own growth is reflected back at him,
as the boy he once was has grown into a man, tempered by the diverse
experiences of life. With his story of Ray Ryan, Riley reminds us that,
although the road of life is filled with brilliantly joyous sights, as
well as dangerously destructive potholes, we shouldn’t lose sight of who
we are, where we’re going, and where we want to be.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 24px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Dr.Satwant Kaur, HP Distinguished Technologist, believes that human error will soon be eliminated from our daily transportation. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Some might say that exciting, futuristic predictions are Dr. Satwant Kaur's forte. Her many awards and accolades celebrate unparalleled accomplishments in technology, and her version of the future can often seem like science fiction. However, humanity has made great technological strides, and will surely continue to do so; Dr. Kaur believes that in the near future, technology will completely alter how we drive our cars. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Humanity has known roughly a century with the automobile, perhaps the greatest innovation of its time. Personal travel before the car was slow, uncomfortable, and often reliant on farm animals. Now, about a hundred years later, Dr. Kaur predicts a new, surprising future for cars: that they will become autonomous and self-driving. These self-driving cars could be a reality by as early as 2020, utilizing vehicle-to-vehicle communications technology. According to Dr. Kaur, machines communicate better with other machines than with humans; this is due to predictable programmatic behaviors. Also, the elimination of human drivers would eliminate most car accidents, since many result from human error- we bring with us the element of surprise, often causing these crashes. Therefore, the roadways of the future will be much safer. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Dr. Kaur notes that the easiest way to drive will be using the new technology for autonomous cars. She also believes that roads will be dedicated to the sole use of self-driving cars. Autonomous cars will also be extremely helpful they will be able to recognize and avoid pedestrians, and will be able to identify and avoid construction or other roadway hazards. These may seem like outlandish advancements; however, it isn't as radical to us now as the idea of a pocket-sized computer was thirty years ago. As always, Dr. Kaur reminds us that impressive and radical changes may be nearer than we might think.</span></div>

Looking for new ways to get the word out about your
book? Consistent exposure outside your current sphere of influence is key.
According to Forbes.com, using Facebook is one of the top 5 inexpensive
ways to launch a product. Spectacular websites still need traffic to
sell anything. Facebook and Twitter have built-in platforms of
individuals viewing content in real time. Many users have apps
downloaded to their phones notifying them when something is posted to
their timeline. This creates a great opportunity for you as an author to
engage and provide content to individuals who may be interested in your
book. All they need is an invitation.</div>
Whether you need Fan
Page setup, promotion, or both, AskthePublishingGuru.com can assist
with maximizing your social media. We will set up a Facebook Fan Page
and a Twitter Fan page for you as an author, and/or we'll promote your
past, present, and future titles. Think you have this covered? Fan
Pages are different than personal pages. Personal pages reach people you
know. Fan pages are for everyone else. With Fan Pages, you can engage
Facebook and Twitter users with consistent relative content connecting
readers to your books without bombarding your close friends and family.</div>

just enter something in the subject line (like: voting for Marble Award
nominee or whatever you’d like) and in the body of the email just state
that you would like to vote for the<span> </span><i>The Knighting of Sir Kaye</i><span> </span>for the Voyager Marble Award and anything else you would like to say about Sir Kaye…or just leave it at that, that’s up to you. <span> </span><br /><br />The Knighting of Sir Kaye has a good chance of winning if we can get out the vote. <span> </span>Please vote and if you can ask family and friends to vote too that would be even better. <span> </span>Please
let me know as soon as you’ve voted and if you were able to get other
votes so I can try to keep track (to the extent possible) of the number
of votes. <span> </span><br /><br />Here's the Marble Awards page:<br /><a href="http://www.freewebs.com/storytellerscampfire/marbleawards.htm" target="_blank">http://www.freewebs.com/<wbr></wbr>storytellerscampfire/<wbr></wbr>marbleawards.htm</a><span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"><br /></span><span><b><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia,serif;"><br /></span></b></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia,serif;"></span></div>

Campfire’s is an internet radio program featuring guests from all
around the world. Their mission is to teach history, preserve
culture, and honor tradition with literary artists of all
genres—including musicians, historians, professionals, educators,
inspirational speakers, entertainers, and storytellers sharing and
passing stories, knowledge, and experiences from one generation to the
next.<br /></span><span>Since their radio program began in 2006, Storytellers Campfire has featured <wbr></wbr>thousands
of guests from all over the world and now they want to honor and
distinguish some of those guests. Over the last eight years they have
reviewed more than ten thousand books and they have over seven thousand
people on their waiting list to be on the show. I have been featured on
their program twice and they plan to have me on again after the second
Sir Kaye book is out.<br /></span><span>For the first time
Storytellers Campfire is presenting Marble Awards to those who have
dedicated themselves in their work beyond expectation and have shared
their passion and commitment with the world. Guests on the Storyteller’s
Campfire represent 82 countries and 42 provinces. Out of thousands of
selections they chose only 104 nominees for the Marble Awards. The award
categories include Fiction, Non-Fiction, Teen, <b>Young Reader</b>,
Children and Educational Books, Music CDs, Storytellers, Research
Literary Work, Articles, Illustrators, and Publishers all exhibiting
exceptional work. This award was unsolicited and was kept secret until
the nominees were announced on September 28<sup>th</sup>. The Knighting of Sir Kaye is one of only four nominees in the Young Reader Category.</span><br /><br />Winners will be announced in February, 2015.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Some might say that exciting, futuristic predictions are Dr. Satwant Kaur's forte. Her many awards and accolades celebrate unparalleled accomplishments in technology, and her version of the future can often seem like science fiction. However, humanity has made great technological strides, and will surely continue to do so; Dr. Kaur believes that in the near future, technology will greatly aid in Alzheimer's detection. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Alzheimer's as we know it is nearly impossible to avoid, because by the time it is detected, it's too late to stop. However, what if Alzheimer's could be detected in the eyes of a patient decades before the disease reached their brain? Dr. Satwant Kaur predicts that by 2020, radical changes could already be shaping the way we diagnose and deal with Alzheimer's. She believes that noninvasive Retinal Imaging Scan will detect Alzheimer's in a patient's eyes. This is an even more impressive concept because the test may show the special kinds of plaque in the retina that appear even before the onset of Alzheimer’s in the eye- meaning doctors and patients can truly prepare, and perhaps even fight, the disease. This plaque that first appears in eye then accumulates in the brain; once there, it causes Alzheimer's. </span></div>

However, early detection will enable early intervention before Alzheimer's even appears. This prediction, like many of Dr. Kaur's others, feels as though we are launching into the future at high speed. However, early Alzheimer's detection isn't as radical to us now as the idea of a pocket-sized computer was thirty years ago. As always, Dr. Kaur reminds us that impressive and radical changes may be nearer than we might think.</span></div>

Ron Foster's 'Crick: A Prepper is Cast Adrift' is book two in aseries that pits preppers against the apocalypse itself.<br /><br />Preppers make it their business to be ready for the worst- case scenario at all times. However, even the most seasoned preppers could not anticipate the calamity that faces the characters in Crick: A Prepper is Cast Adrift. This is book two of Ron Foster's A Prepper is Cast Adrift series, during which Foster crafts a tense tale of survival under the most desperate of circumstances.<br /><br />In this grim world, a cyber-attack has destroyed 80 percent of America's electrical grid, stranding hundreds of millions in darkness without infrastructure, nor running water. Martial law has been declared, with rumors flying that Russian troops have become involved with security and continued operations of the government. Both of these situations would be bad enough without the third event: a terrorist attack on the hydroelectric dams surrounding a prepper festival. With the dams blown, the intrepid preppers become stranded on an island with little food and almost no chance of escape. <br /><br />Foster's sequel to The Prepper's Lament is a riveting tale of wit and ingenuity in the face of desperate times. After all, those who live by the law of preparedness are uniquely equipped for such a challenge. Foster even sprinkles real prepper tips throughout his novel, making it as educational as it is dramatic. Additionally, a peppering of charming, Southern-country humor and larger than life characters add moments of levity between heart-stopping adventure. <br /><br />Preppers have become part of mainstream pop culture in recent years, but Ron Foster has been writing about the survivalist lifestyle since long before that. Crick: A Prepper is Cast Adrift bears the authenticity of its author's experience, yet is accessible and extremely entertaining for preppers, non-preppers and Sci-Fi/ Fantasy fans alike. <br /><br />Ron Foster<br /><br />Ron Foster is a well-followed, prolific Alabama prepper and fiction author of over 30 books. He has a unique knack for including humor as well as survival preparedness tips and tricks in his post-apocalyptic disaster stories, and is best known for his early work writing the classic Prepper Road March trilogy.<br /><br />Ron is a frequent expert guest on Radio talk shows and attends many Prepper conferences and expos. He wrote this book to commemorate Lowbuck Prepper`s Prepper Stock 2014 event and to give thanks to all the attendees for their support.<br /><br />Ron holds two masters degrees in Emergency Management and Homeland Security and Terrorism studies and has been a "survivalist" and a "prepper" -- long before the terms were coined by mainstream media.<br /><br />For more information, please visit http://www.displaced-prepper.com/.<br /><br />Visit Ron Foster's blog at http://disaster-fiction.blogspot.com/.<br /><br />###<br /><br />For media inquiries, or to request a review copy, please contact:<br /><br />Ron Foster<br /><br />minrlwtr@aol.com </div>

Recently named a "PageTurner" by Shelf Unbound magazine, NABE Pinnacle Thriller winner, an E-Lit Gold Medal winner (Horror)and 2 time Silver Feather (IWPA) winner , The Color of Evil series details the adventures of the young man (Tad McGreevy) with the power to detect auras around others (Tetrachromatic Super Vision) and to relive the crimes of those with "the color of evil" in his dreams. <br />
<br />
Khaki = Killer , the third book in the Color of Evil Series, picks up where Red Is for Rage left off, answering the question, “What happened to Melody (Harris) Carpenter?” <br />
<br />
Readers of Red Is for Rage, [Book #2 in The Color of Evil series], will remember that Melody was involved in a rescheduled UNI (University of Northern Iowa) football game, cheering for the Sky High Eagles. Rushed to the hospital with injuries suffered in a fall from atop the human pyramid [formed by fellow cheerleaders Heather, Kelly, Janice, Angie, and Jenny, Melody is hospitalized and fighting for her life as Khaki = Killer opens. <br />
<br />
The budding romance between Janice and Stevie continues to grow more serious, but Janice’s parents oppose her relationship with the son of the man who shot and killed so many townsfolk at the Homecoming game. There are more revelations about Earl Scranton’s motives, and other romance s develop (Tad and Jenny; Charlie and Andrea). <br />
<br />
When Heather Crompton and Kelly Carter mysteriously disappear, the tension in town ratchets to a fever pitch. The entire town is involved in the search. Retired police officer Charlie Chandler reorganizes the rag-tag team that helped find Stevie Scranton and bring him back to Cedar Falls, Iowa. <br />
<br />
In the background lurks Michael Clay (aka, Pogo), still searching for Tad McGreevy, still hoping to permanently silence “the boy who can see the future.” <br />
<br />
Tensions run high and the stakes run even higher in KHAKI = KILLER, Book #3 in THE COLOR OF EVIL series. <br />
As reviewer (True Review) Andy Andrews put it: "Wilson makes all this count and mixes the ugly and the good in ways that can turn out to be rewarding for readers...There are moments of a real gift here...deft touches...especially between Stevie (Scranton) and his girlfriend, that are quite touching and even inspired...So, I remain happy to follow this series, I am assuming this series will reach a conclusion and I cannot wait to see how Wilson writes it." <br />
<br />
"Connie Corcoran Wilson weaves a deftly fine scalpel in an age where a crude blade is more the norm. Her work is a smooth, subtle hybrid mix of science fiction, thriller, and horror that realizes a unique and pointed vision in the great tradition of Phillip K. Dick and Ray Bradbury. Her voice is a wonder to behold, at once dark and somber while maintaining a glimmer of hope that shines in the hearts of her heroes, who cling to the light. Like Stephen King, nothing escapes her discerning eye, the result of which is tale after tale that bleed life onto the page, both literally and figuratively."—Jon Land, bestselling author of the Caitlin Strong Series <br />
<br />
"Connie Wilson is back—-She's good! She's DAMN good! In a world of mainly bad-to-fair writers, she stands above the crowd with plot, description , and strong character. Believe me, you'll enjoy her latest! that's a guarantee!...She's a born storyteller!"—William F. Nolan, Living Legend in Dark Fantasy, "Logan's Run," "Logan's World," "Nightworlds" <br />
<br />
"Wilson's characters come alive on the page. Comparisons to Stephen King, Dean Koontz and Philip K. Dick aside, Wilson has spent 33 years teaching students in this age range. She knows what she is talking about."—Gary Braver, author of "Flashback" and 8 other thrillers. <br />
<br />
"THE COLOR OF EVIL series is old-school psychological horror, artfully blended with new-school shocks and twists. ..Bravo!" —Jonathan Maberry, New York Times best-selling author, multiple Bram Stoker winnerUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311552286893704284.post-9726704118586396712014-06-26T07:00:00.000-05:002014-06-28T16:49:34.847-05:00Paranormal Thriller Red Is For Rage<div style="text-align: center;">

RED IS FOR RAGE , 2nd book in THE COLOR OF EVIL series, was named a “Page Turner of 2013,” by “Shelf Unbound” magazine, a Pinnacle Thriller winner, an IWPA Silver Feather award-winner, and praised for a Best Indie Cover of 2013. It picks up where the first book left off, plunging us, once again, into the world of Tad McGreevy, the boy with the paranormal power to see “the color of evil” (Tetrachromatic Super Vision).<br />
<br />
Stevie Scranton plays a major part in Book #2 as a loyal band led by Tad and retired Policeman Charlie Chandler strive to find and return Stevie to Cedar Falls (IA) when he goes missing. Dubbed “eerie and captivating” and “a great continuation” by reviewers.<br />
“If you’re looking for a book full of action and adventure, then this is the one for you,” said one Amazon reviewer. <br />
<br />
Another noted, “I like that Wilson touches on real problems in society, but she does it with such heartfelt empathy, compassion and great dialogue that I could picture these things happening.” “Full of mystery, thrills and horror. What more do you want?” Krystal (Willingham) said, adding, “I swear if there is not a third book, I am going to be super disappointed, because I want to know what happens next.”<br />
<br />
Said Jon Land, author of the Caitlin Strong series, “Wilson’s voice is a wonder to behold, dark and somber while maintaining a glimmer of hope that shines in the hearts of her heroes, who cling to the light. Like Stephen King, nothing escapes her discerning eye, the result of which is tale after tale that bleed life onto the page, both literally and figuratively.”</div>
