About Featured Book: Many Million Dreams Ago: A Recollection of Romances by Dre Carlan

Free eBook: Sat. 7/24-Mon. 7/26

Three Lovers. Three lessons.

Many Million Dreams Ago defies a typical “romance memoir” by dealing with the deeper consequences of discovering such feelings too early on. Its realism is recounted in three eras of a life gone awry from self-harm, codependency, and casual intimacies.

Through the endless pursuits of a hopeless romantic in trying to find his other half, we join him on his journey toward an idyllic destiny.

About Autism Box Set:

Book 1: A single dad. An autistic child. A dedicated teacher. Can they be what each other needs?

Book 2: Only in grade 1, Ethan has already been kicked out of a school for his tantrums and running away. Can this new school help?

Book 3: Manny is not like other children. He doesn’t talk. He doesn’t leave the house. His parents desperately try to arrange their world so that Manny does not get upset. Because, when he does, well, the aggression was getting worse. Is there a way that Manny can belong?

Book 4: A bright pre-teen remains on the fringe. Is this all there is for Karen? Can an autistic chef make a difference? Come join us and see.

Book 5: At twenty-one, Suzie has withdrawn from a world she finds alien and confusing. To her, the world is a harsh, scary place where she does not fit. She has Asperger’s Syndrome and high anxiety. When an intruder breaks into their house, there is no one to rely on but Suzie.

When parents receive the news that their child has autism, they spend countless hours researching the subject, usually at night, after an exhausting day. Teachers, when they hear that they’ll have a student with an autism spectrum disorder, also try to learn as much as they can.
These novels were written for such parents and teachers – entertaining reads that are fun, yet still offer strategies and information on autism.

What Are Reviewers Saying?

– “A gem of a book”
-” A true delight – Highly, highly recommended – Just couldn’t put it down”
– “Highly informative and extremely helpful – Couldn’t take my eyes off it”
-” I loved this book from beginning to end – Just plain awesome”
– “I could feel the author’s passion – What a great way to learn about autism”
– “Entertains, entrances & educates: 3 for the Price of One!”
– “This wonderful book is about a Dad, Ben, meeting his autistic son Kyle for the very first time, when Mom dumps him suddenly on his doorstep, saying she can no longer take care of him. Through the eyes of Ben, we get a glimpse of both the challenges and joys of being a parent of a child who sees the world in different ways.”
– “Unlike some stories that speak of autistic children, this one brings a wealth of hope and information! As we look over Ben’s shoulder, we see a glimpse of the learning tools currently being used in the classroom today, and we get glimpses of things that could be helpful in the day to day life of an autistic child.”
– “I appreciated this story on several levels. First I enjoyed the story of Ben discovering what it means to be a parent, especially a single parent. Second, I enjoyed watching Kyle find his own means of success in this new and upside down world.”
– “I enjoyed the glimpse into classroom life and options available today. Finally I enjoyed the quiet romance between Mel and Ben.”

Featured Author Interview: Bob Keaton

Leave a Comment

Tell us about yourself.:
I am a communications professional who has worked for daily newspapers, associations, and corporations. I retired early to try my hand at creative writing. It was sort of a bucket list thing. Back in college I dropped out of a creative writing course because the professor was so critical of my work. Instead, I had a successful career in journalism. After retirement, I wanted to go back and prove I could be successful at creative writing, too. I’ve written four novels, three of which have already been published.

Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?:
I’m originally from upstate South Carolina, but I don’t think that location influenced my writing as much as other places I’ve lived, including South Florida, the setting for my newest book, Grayer than Grey. San Francisco, where I lived for 12 years, is the location for first novel, SEX is nothing more than a game of tennis. I currently live in Atlanta where my second novel, Our Last Shot, family business at Peckerwood, takes place.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I’m most productive when I’m exercising. (I have to develop an idea in my mind before sitting down at the computer.) Perhaps exercise gets the blood flowing to my brain, but exercising is where I get my best ideas and where I’m able to work out any problems I’m having with scenes or characters. Sometimes taking a shower also works.

What authors have influenced you?
I’m originally from upstate South Carolina, but I don’t think that location influenced my writing as much as other places I’ve lived, including South Florida, the setting for my newest book, Grayer than Grey. San Francisco, where I lived for 12 years, is the location for first novel, SEX is nothing more than a game of tennis. I currently live in Atlanta where my second novel, Our Last Shot, family business at Peckerwood, takes place.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
READ! READ! READ! See how other authors handle situations, especially in novels like what you want to write. How they handle conflict, build suspense, develop characters. If you aren’t reading, you’ll never be a good writer.

About TRIBES:

Alex, her sisters, and their kids are on their way to her camp in the Adirondack Mountains for the Columbus Day weekend when the unthinkable happens. A voice on the radio warns the country is under attack! Greeted by guns and bullets when they try to seek shelter, they’re forced to hide in a cave to wait out the fallout. After two weeks in their dank hole, they’re wasting away from starvation. Things are made worse when Alex discovers her sisters gone. They’ve taken the rented minibus and returned to the city to search for their husbands, leaving Alex to care for her seven nieces and nephews. It’s an arduous 35-mile hike through the mountains to her camp…a journey through hell! Society is devolving. The strong: looters, murderers, and rapists preying on the weak. The small hamlets and villages they pass through have become killing fields, as survivors battle each other for the few remaining supplies. Above them, the skies are growing darker every day, blocking out the sun. Temperatures are plummeting. Winter is coming early. Her burden increases when Alex rescues two orphaned children she finds injured and starving on the trail. Now she has nine hungry mouths to feed! Their little band is elated when they finally make it to camp, but in order to keep from starving, they’ll need to learn to live off the land the way the Indians that once inhabited the mountains did. In her struggle to keep the children alive and fed, Alex stumbles on a hidden cache of food only to discover it’s guarded by a man who’ll haunt her nightmares. Half guardian angel, half demon. Both barbarian and benefactor. A strange mixture of brutality and gentleness, cruelty and caring. A man named Wolf!

Pursuing a more Purposeful Life? Assimilate stories from 39 patients with incurable Lung Cancer as they share their experiences, hopes, and strengths to find meaning in your life.

Life is an unfinished project, and similarly, finding meaning is an uncompleted task. But how exactly do we find meaning? How do people find strength? The diagnosis of cancer or other terminal cases create significant adversity. So how do people develop resilience? How do they keep going? These questions had been tackled for centuries by philosophy and religion. So what is there to add?

While there is no such thing as a School of Life Professor, you now have a viable alternative. Morhaf Al Achkar obtained his Ph.D in education and is currently a practicing family physician at the University of Washington. He was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. Since then, his research has focused on the experiences of patients living with cancer. This book is based on interviews he did with 39 patients who live, like him, with advanced illness. He explored how these patients find meaning, cope, and build resilience. Using his own experiences and deep knowledge of philosophical concepts, Morhaf shares his understanding of a meaningful life from the perspective of someone aware of his own finitude.

– Confront questions about life, meaning, and your legacy before it is too late
– Gain a new perspective on the meaning of living that transcends culture and social status
– Learn countless coping strategies across various disciplines to build your individual Resilience
– Acquire a positive and realistic perspective on your life that promotes hope and healing for your body, mind and spirit.
– And much, much more!

This is a compelling book by an author who is wearing multiple hats — as a doctor, an academic, a lung cancer advocate, and ultimately, a patient himself. Dr. Alachkar’s knowledge-based, yet deeply personal and relateable book will give you a variety of viewpoints on questions like the meaning of life, finding hope in a terminal diagnosis, building resilience, finding or losing one’s faith in a higher power, and much more! From its heartfelt personal accounts of how these strong individuals cope with cancer, to the thought-provoking search for meaning that underlies it all, this book is sure to run you through your complete gamut of emotions. If you seek a greater capacity for empathy or find relief in shared experiences, acceptance of altering realities and changed identities, then you can’t afford to miss this book.

About Featured Book: Ayurveda Pregnancy Using Ayurveda for Optimal Pregnancy Health and Postpartum Recovery by Jill C. Blake

Here’s what 5,000 years of medical wisdom have to say about pregnancy:

Modern medicine has created a big rift between body, mind, and soul.

For a long time, and even today, mainstream medicine has focused on the separation of each of the body’s systems, studying and treating them independently from the whole.

It’s only recently that it started endorsing an idea that ancient medical practices understood all along. Our health is much more complex than one ailing part of our body and is, in fact, the sum of who we are, what we do, how we behave, and how we feel.

You may be at this point in your life where you’re ready to have a baby, but you’re also looking for a way to have a healthy pregnancy both for you and your child.

With a gentle and comprehensive approach to health, you may find everything you’ve been looking for within the teachings of Ayurveda.

Ayurveda isn’t only the science of holistic medicine but also of prevention.

It’ll allow for a healthier pregnancy, minimizing potential complications by looking at what you eat, how your environment promotes your wellbeing, mental health, and general lifestyle, and then making individualized plans to fit your physical and energetic needs.

The body is smarter than you think, and its connection to natural laws has been quite undermined by modern medicine.

By balancing your energies following the Ayurvedic approach to better health, you certainly can give yourself the gift of an uncomplicated pregnancy.

And the best part is that you can do it all without having to subject yourself to invasive medical procedures or toxic meds.

In Ayurveda Pregnancy, you will discover:

● The basic principles of the Ayurvedic approach to health so that you can finally take control of your wellbeing and that of your baby
● The Ayurvedic secret to a comfortable and seamless pregnancy
● How painful menstruation is a sign of an unhealthy reproductive system, as well as natural remedies that will drastically increase your chances of conception
● The Ayurvedic wisdom on food and how you can use your diet to your advantage to counter common pregnancy difficulties
● A month-by-month food supplement plan that will guide your body through the three Ayurvedic stages of pregnancy
● The crucial lifestyle changes you need to make to allow optimal development of your fetus
● Postpartum Ayurvedic care to get you back on your feet in no time

And much more.

Many women have difficult pregnancies with complications that can go beyond the scope of mainstream medicine.

The oldest medicine in the world has a lot of wisdom to offer, especially when it comes to the miracle of life.

With the holistic care approach of Ayurveda, you can go through this exciting period of your life filled only with excitement and anticipation.
