... If it wasn't for Llumina, I'm not sure I would have gone on with the project and it would still be on my "to do one day" list.  The workbook has been a very healing experience for me. It has also  been very moving to talk with the parents and the kids who are using the book in their sibling support groups. This book has helped a lot of people so it was worth the time and money invested.  I  truly appreciate all the people at Llumina who walked me through the process of making the idea real.

 My goal is to be your best seller at Llumina!  I'm putting a lot of energy into marketing The Other Kid - I hope it translates into big sales and gets to all the kids going through a tough time.

NEWS - NEWS - NEWS:

What Else is News? 

Fort Lauderdale, November 2008:  With all the turmoil in the financial markets lately, the latest updates on  Korea, China, and other nuclear powers have taken a back burner.  However, war has always had an economic base, so maybe we shouldn’t quit worrying just yet. We might think about how fortunate it is that there are people whose work doesn’t allow them to ever forget the nuclear stockpiles of the world and how close doomsday really might be.

Such organizations require operatives, but in David Hills’ new novel, Nuclear Black, terrorism is keeping everyone busy. . .            Read More

 


North of the Apple:

Crime & Love 

Fort Lauderdale, November 2008:  The Big Apple is the center of the world to a lot of people, and to paraphrase the song: If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere….”  But even though everything that’s going on is going on in the Big Apple, there is a whole world beyond its borders peopled with many of those who couldn’t make it there. 

 

Joseph Gray’s new novel, North of the Apple: Crime & Love  introduces us to Kelly "Smooth" Michaels, an aging, lonely New York City thief and hustler who has been exiled to cities north of the Apple.   Read more...


Dreaming of a Better Life

 

Fort Lauderdale, November 2008:  We all make mistakes, some of us in bigger ways than others, and hindsight is always dead-on.  How many movies have we seen in which the hero still regrets the ball he didn’t catch or the door he didn’t open?  How many books in which the author travels far to undo the errors of his childhood?  If you’ve ever wished that you could go back in time and start your life all over again,  you will appreciate the plight of Susan Thomas, author of A Family Changed Forever.  Although she wasn’t able to undo the harm she felt she had done, she spent most of her life trying.

Why Hunt Healers Like Witches?

 

Fort Lauderdale, September 2007:  It has been hundreds of years since anyone has been burned as a witch, but does that mean that it’s now acceptable to be one?  While witches of old were usually men and women with some knowledge of herbs and primitive medicine, where does one draw the line today?  And should a line be drawn at all? Alternative healing has always been around and has frequently been effective.  So why should anyone in this enlightened age have anything to fear? 

 

While Brown’s Point is a fictional story about twelve healers looking for a safe place to gather, to rest a bit, and talk about the work they are involved in—the premise is based on fact.

Do It Now, as
Life Is Too Short!

Fort Lauderdale, August 2008:  Life is what you make it. It’s all about what we choose to do. The old adage – “Today is the first day of the rest of your life” –may be hackneyed, but it is also deadly  accurate. In his new book, Life Is Too Short: Choices in Life, Second Edition, David W. Dorris shows us a way to take control of our choices so that we can live "the good life." We only go through life once, and it’s not a rehearsal.  Read more...


New Novel with a Critical Message: Anyone Can Contract HIV

     

New York, NY, August 2008:  The United Nations reports that the AIDS epidemic is a “global catastrophe” responsible for over 20 million deaths worldwide, tens of millions of children left orphaned, and some 33.2 million people living with HIV. AIDS is among the leading causes of death worldwide, and is today the primary cause of death in Africa. In the United States, the Center for Disease Control estimates that over one million Americans are infected with HIV, and, shockingly, 24 to 27% of these people are not aware that they carry the virus      Read more...

 


Strange Things

Under the Hill…

 

Fort Lauderdale, August 2008:  Although there are still a lot of skeptics, more and more people are recognizing unusual extraterrestrial occurrences that cannot be explained away. In fact, on July 23, 2008, Dr. Edgar D. Mitchell – a highly-respected former American astronaut, who piloted the Apollo 14 lunar module and was the sixth man to walk on the moon – told the world that UFOs are real. As a guest on a well-known radio show, Mitchell explained that his insider position at NASA gave him access to top-secret information. He freely admitted there have been UFO cover-ups since the Roswell, New Mexico crash in 1947. In his book, Fire in the Hill, H. Fred Neale brings a new twist to this fascinating subject. Strange things exist in our world, and his town of Tejas Hill, Texas, could be hiding one of them.      Read more...

AMAZING, MOVING POETRY

Delta Blue 

by Russell Robison

 


Phantom

by Susan Kay

-- Follow the lonely struggle of  the Phantom of the Opera from birth to  love to madness and death.  Read the reviews.  A bestselling novel that keeps on going...


What is the Measure of a Man?

 

Fort Lauderdale, November 2008:  In this era of cosmetic surgery and movie star perfection, no one wants to go through life with what they consider a defect, whether that’s small breasts, aging skin, varicose veins, or ears that stick out. But sometimes plastic surgery goes beyond the cosmetic to issues that could be real problems.  For instance, a plastic surgeon can repair a cleft palate, and now there is even a procedure that can lengthen the legs of someone who would otherwise be of abnormally short stature. 

 

At age sixteen, Akash Shukla had reached his adult height of four feet eleven inches and was heartbroken over it.  People didn’t take him seriously. Yet, when he and his family learned about limb lengthening, the decision was not easy.  The procedure is a painful, year-long process.  The doctors insert screws and bolts in your legs, fasten metal rings, break your bones in the middle and then send you home.

Finding Yourself

 

“ . . . brings insight and expertise to confront your inner dialogue, stereotypes, conditioned reactions, and emotional patterns that no longer serve you.”  —Dr. Reina Santiago, DOM

 

“Seekers of personal transformation will gain much insight into their selves and create a foundation for attaining Grace. . . .”  —Irene Watson, Reader Views

 

Fort Lauderdale, October 2008:  In this perplexing day and age, as people search for awareness and insights into themselves, their loved ones, workday acquaintances, and the frenetic world in general, it is gratifying to find a process that can actually help. In his new book, Four Faces in the Mirror, Dr. Vito Hemphill shows us how to live a better life in this intense and unpredictable world.      Read more..

 


Aliens Invade Earth! 

 

Fort Lauderdale, September 2008:  Star Trek may be history, but sci-fi is alive and well.  And when it comes to sci-fi, there’s nothing like a well-put-together story involving an alien invasion of the earth.  It’s a tale that never gets old—them against us—and Tony Arthur’s new novel, The Chosen, brings this classic opposition to thrilling new heights of intrigue and terror.

 

When Earth is targeted for conquest by an alien power, Gabriel mysteriously receives a premonition and flees his home, just narrowly escaping the doom beginning to spread across the planet.    Read more...
