Readers and reviewer have lavished praise on the new book. One Amazon reviewer said, "Just when I thought I couldn't love the Mystic Bay series more, Jody released the most breathtaking installment yet! Book 7 is a masterclass in child advocacy, true love, & angel-ology that blends emotional depth with a community of compassion.

The concept of angels living among us as humans is handled with such grace and wit. As always, I felt deeply immersed in the world of merciful Mystic Bay. Jody’s character development is phenomenal. Experiencing these heavenly beings grapple with human love, fear, & joy is pure magic. It’s heartfelt, sizzling, & absolutely unputdownable. The reader will come away believing in Angels!

This book is a stunning addition to her magnificent series. It is a radiant reward of Jody’s keen dedication to bringing the love of angels into our world."

Another said, "The angel experiences shared in the book seem real and remind the reader of the meaning of love and how it can change lives. Surely we can put the values illustrated in this beautifully written book in our own lives and make our world a better place for all."

The book is available at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Jody-Sharpe/author/B00DPL3382?.

Other books by Jody Sharpe include:

To Catch an Angel - Jody is also the author of 'To Catch an Angel', written in memory of her late husband Steve. In 'To Catch an Angel', miracles happen in Mystic Bay, California, the town with the psychic and angel vibe. Angels are calling. Psychic Maggie Malone returns home to find she's swept up in the miracle of it all. She can't imagine why her mother left or who her father might be. But these questions pale in comparison to the wonder of the angels. Maggie meets writer, Noah Greenstreet. They realize they've met before, but where? Maggie and Noah embark on a journey to find our world is all awash with angels.

Town Of Angels - it's angel vs. Bully in the town of Mystic Bay, California, where a well-kept secret lies. Angels live as humans there. After angels appeared to three children, all was blissful in the town full of psychics, and ordinary folk. But as brute, Klaus Waxman, comes to town, angel Ken Leighton, a storeowner, must carefully guide his flock of humans not to give in to the bully's efforts.As Klaus opens a store mocking the resident angel sightings, angel Ken guides psychic Justine Greer, and her family to thwart his efforts. And with the help of the indomitable oldest psychic in town, Madam Norma, the bully meets his match through the soft voices and intuitive minds of his neighbors.

Town Of Angels Christmas - The bully never wins. A secret lies in Mystic Bay California. Angels live as humans there. Angel Ken, a storeowner, fears the secret will be revealed when vet, Jordana Hart, a woman with special healing abilities moves to town.

Years before Angel Ken materialized as an old man, changing the course of her life. Will Jordana recognize Angel Ken as the man from her past as they work together on a rescue mission to bring twenty-two horses to Mystic Bay before Christmas, will they see what lies before them, a Christmas story only the angels could write.

Special Needs Children, The Angels On My Shoulder is a memoir based on her twenty-five years teaching children with special needs. The book placed second in the National Federation Of Press Women's At-Large Communication contest. The book is as entertaining as it is illuminating. It's a love story about the special students and others who over the years graced her life with just that, their grace.

With hearts of angels and challenges to face, the children took Sharpe along their journeys and inspired her own life's journey of self-discovery. When sorrow came, their kindness helped her through. The synchronicity of events from high school to retirement changed her life for the better, turning her face toward heaven.

Midwest Book Review stated, "Sharpe's ability to see the good in circumstances and people identifies the 'special' in 'special needs' as she delineates her journey through the education system and those teaching and social encounters which changed her perspective and life."

"Teachers (especially those working with special needs kids) will find this spiritual and social reflection easily accessible. It's presented in vignettes which offer small, digestible bites of insight into a world where angels and kindness are present in more than one form."

The Dog Who Came For Christmas - Meteorologist and psychic, Gayle Force Knight, proves to be a force to be reckoned with once more. While Gayle was sleeping, an angel sent her a vision of a future event. With her intuition, Gayle wonders, will she really meet the dog in her dream and save another one?

With the help of her intuitive husband, Alex Knight, and friends, Gayle sets on a course to rescue many more. But with surprising twists and turns of intrigue, both Gayle and Alex find there are always angels at the helm as they ride on their coattails.

20 Moon Road, An Angel's Tale - Miracles still happen in the town of Mystic Bay California. Angels live as humans there. Angel Ken, a former football coach, is surprised when his late best friend, the indomitable psychic, Madam Norma, appears in spirit form and asks him to write the story of her life through her memories she will send him. Surprising to Angel Ken, Madam Norma saw thousands of angels since childhood.

Special Needs Children followed her recently released children's book about angels, When The Angel Sent Butterflies. The new book helps children understand that love from their parents and others surrounds them. Love conquers fear, and believing that angels are near can help sweep any childhood fear away. This concept is presented in the book when Angel Ken sends Jones and Kate butterflies. The book, appropriate for ages 2 to 7, is now available at Amazon and Ingram.

One of her latest books, Summer Of Angels, is a mystery novel. Meteorologist and psychic, Gayle Force proves a force to be reckoned with as she moves back to her beloved Mystic Bay, California. While sleeping, an angel sent her a vision in a dream of a future event. Gayle realizes she must use her intuition to save an old man from drowning. But who is this old man?

With the help of intuitive attorney, Alex Knight, she finds they are caught in the middle of a future crime. But can Gayle and Alex solve the case and save the old man before it’s too late? With surprising twists and turns of intrigue and love, Gayle and Alex find there are angels at the helm as they help prove the bully never wins.

In addition, on the "Tuesdays With The Angels" section of her site, Sharpe presents stories of real-life encounters with angels. The stories are available at Sharpe's website at http://www.jodysharpe.com.

Sharpe hopes to create a collection of angel stories that involve sightings of angels, interaction with angels, miraculous angel encounters, and other types of accounts or stories. Everyone is welcome to submit angel stories. All submissions will be considered, but inclusion is not guaranteed. Stories may be submitted at http://bit.ly/2FV8amd.

Sharpe's YouTube channel brings all of this together, offering segments on all of these topics. One topic of special interest is bullying, specifically as it relates to special needs children.

In addition to the National Federation of Press Women’s award, Jody was chosen as a winner in the annual "50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading" Book Awards. She was chosen from a field of hundreds of authors through a public voting process.

Jody also announced recently that two new screen treatments of her books are now available: The Angel's Daughter and Town Of Angels Christmas.

Books for School Libraries: Bestselling Nature Book With Fun Fantasy Stories, Big Ears Jack And Friends, Brings The Magic Of The Sonoran Desert To Life


'Big Ears Jack and Friends' is a collection of tall tales featuring extraordinary animals and plants from the Sonoran Desert of Baja California that can bring young people's love for nature to life, generate interest in wildlife and foster respect for environmental issues.

Books that present stories about animals hold significant value in education. These types of books engage children in myriad ways and can foster deep emotional connections. When kids read about a brave dog or a loyal feline, they can engage with themes of bravery, loyalty, and friendship without the emotional complexities that come with human characters. This emotional detachment makes it easier for them to explore and understand challenging topics like friendship, loss, and identity.

Animal books stimulate creativity and imaginative thinking and have always been important in the lives of kids and favorite books for children of any age, from newborns to teens (even adults!). 'Big Ears Jack and Friends', by award-winning author Earl Vincent de Berge is a best-selling collection of charming tales featuring animals and plants from the Sonoran desert of Baja California. Coyotes, foxes, boojum trees and bobcats are among the main characters in these enchanting fables, creating a rare book that is both entertaining and educational, and would make a valuable addition to school libraries.

This new young reader fantasy book is an enchanting collection of 15 imaginative short stories celebrating the wild animals and plants that live in the hottest desert in the Americas, on the narrowest peninsula in the world, Baja California, Mexico.

The main character in these delightful stories is Big Ears Jack: a very big jackrabbit with huge ears -- and magical powers to use for good! Jack is the king of desert kindness, a good friend to all desert critters.

Among Jack’s friends readers will meet Nosey and Wag, mischievous coyote brothers; Blue Dasher, a racing dragonfly; the Kangaroo Rat Chorus; tree-lizard Boris; Giro the dust devil; Hawk Conchita and the red ants; Lady Treble Clef, a watchful cactus; Paulina, the puma poet; Diana the musical tarantula; Lady Chrona, a sea lion who dreams of flying; a scheming sea gull named Swindler; the beautiful bobcat Miss Mucha Purrs; Mr. Shellie, the chatterbox tortoise; and Young Red Fox and his sweet love, the lovely rabbit Adorna -- along with many others.

In a review of 'Big Ears Jack,' an AWA reviewer said, "One of the book’s greatest strengths is its world-building. De Berge weaves the flora and fauna of Baja California into the narrative, making the setting feel like a character itself. Talking cacti, dust devils playing tag, and wise desert tortoises enrich the stories, placing readers in an enchanting ecosystem where the line between reality and fantasy blurs.

"The themes of community, creativity, and environmental respect run throughout the collection. Young readers will enjoy the magical adventures and witty dialogue, while adults will appreciate the underlying messages about cooperation, individuality, and harmony with nature."

In his review on Amazon Mark Winheld stated, "If you're up for more fantasy fun, you'll be tempted by chapter titles like 'Sheriff Diamondback and the Egg-Thieving Coyotes,' or 'Dianna the Musical Tarantula,' or 'Swindler (a thieving seagull) and Big Umpo the Sea Lion,' or 'Lady Treble Clef and Dust Devils Rescue a Javelina Family,' and many more."

Reviewer Essien Asian said, "The author presents educational information in detail while using the dialogue between the characters to stimulate young readers' imaginations. The mix of strategically placed pictures, an engaging narrative style, and thought-provoking subplots regarding these animals ensures that young readers will learn vital lessons in diplomacy and survival from 'Big Ears Jack and Friends' while enjoying a captivating adventure.

‘Big Ears Jack and Friends' is available in print and ebook form on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Earl-Vincent-de-Berge/author/B09R6M1G4Y?.

De Berge is also the author of a dramatic and exciting travel memoir, 'A Finger Of Land On An Old Man's Hand'. In this book, readers are immersed with four explorers in a transformative journey through Baja California in 1962 and 1964, inspired by 'The Forgotten Peninsula' by Joseph Wood Krutch. The book received a 5-star review from ReaderViews, and another reviewer called the book, ". . . a beautifully written, fabulous tale of an incredibly brave and daring journey."

Earl has published three collections of his poems, “Allegro to Life,” “Swans to Carry Me,” and “Wind in the Elephant Tree,” which touch on nature, human nature, love, desert silence, and life in Guatemala.

All of de Berge's books are available at Amazon and other online book retailers. More information, including an excerpt from the “Baja book” and a pdf of selected photos with insider details revealing Baja in the 1960s, is available at https://www.earldeberge.com.

New Young Adult Fantasy Book, Big Ears Jack And Friends, Now Available From Award Winning Author Earl Vincent de Berge


The book is a collection of tall tales featuring extraordinary animals and plants from the Sonoran desert of Baja California. It is a literary experience for young readers that can help ignite a passion for the natural world.

Animal books have always been important in the lives of kids. Books about animals have been favorites of children of any age, from newborns to teens. Most are both entertaining and educational. Seldom however do we find a book that features that special class of animals found in the Sonoran desert of Baja, California. That is the focus of Earl Vincent de Berge's latest story book about animals, 'Big Ears Jack and Friends', a book that would make a perfect gift for youngsters and for Moms whose children love to hear stories about coyotes, foxes, jackrabbits and other desert animals.

This new young adult fantasy book is an enchanting collection of 15 short fantasy stories celebrating the wild animals and plants that live in the hottest desert in the Americas, on the narrowest peninsula in the world, Baja California, Mexico.

The main character in these charming stories is Big Ears Jack: a very big jackrabbit with huge ears -- and magical powers to use for good! Jack is the king of desert kindness, a good friend to all desert critters.

Among Jack’s friends readers will meet Nosey and Wag, mischievous coyote brothers; Blue Dasher, a racing dragonfly; the Kangaroo Rat Chorus; tree-lizard Boris; Giro the dust devil; Hawk Conchita and the red ants; Lady Treble Clef, a watchful cactus; Paulina, the puma poet; Diana the musical tarantula;  Lady Chrona, a sea lion  who dreams of flying; a scheming sea gull named Swindler; the beautiful bobcat Miss Mucha Purrs; Mr. Shellie the chatterbox tortoise; and Young Red Fox and his sweet love, the lovely rabbit Adorna -- along with many others.

And just for fun, a short essay is included about how to enjoy a hike or walk in the desert in a safe and respectful way.

'Big Ears Jack And Friends' is now available in Kindle and softcover version at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Ears-Jack-Friends-Earl-Berge-ebook/dp/B0DM6PR8HW?ref_=ast_author_dp. Add it to your Christmas shopping list today.

Earl Vincent de Berge is also the author of 'A Finger of Land on an Old Man’s Hand'. This coming of age memoir is more than just another adventure story; it’s a meditation on resilience, friendship, and the inescapable pull of self-discovery. Each challenge—be it physical or emotional—becomes a steppingstone in the explorers’ evolution, perhaps reminding readers of their own capacity for growth. It offers a compelling testament to the human spirit's capacity for transformation.

The Baja Peninsula serves as both a backdrop and a mirror. It immerses readers in four explorers' transformative journey through Baja California in 1962 and 1964, inspired by 'The Forgotten Peninsula' by Joseph Wood Krutch.

Photography enthusiasts will be thrilled to know the book offers a treasure trove of previously unreleased photographs of the area.

One reviewer called the book, ". . . a beautifully written, fabulous tale of an incredibly brave and daring journey." ReaderViews, in their 5-star review said, "A Finger of Land on an Old Man’s Hand by Earl Vincent de Berge is the stark, witty, and profound memoir of four college students testing their limits on the Baja Peninsula in the summer of 1962. One could think of this as the classic literary assignment, 'How I Spent My Summer Vacation.' Only to do so would be to grossly underestimate this narrative."

Earl’s adventures in Baja deepened his youthful fascination with the Sonoran Desert and its plants and animals, and inspired him to write a collection of charming stories for young readers. The main characters are Big Ears Jack – a huge magician jackrabbit – and other animals, birds and plants of the Sonoran Desert and its coastal regions. 'Big Ears Jack and Friends,' is now available on Amazon in both print and e-book formats and would be a unique and delightful addition to anyone’s Christmas stocking.

The book took Best In Category 2024, Nonfiction, from the Arizona Authors Association.

To date, Earl has also published three collections of his poems, 'Allegro to Life,' 'Swans to Carry Me,' and 'Wind in the Elephant Tree,' which touch on nature, human nature, love, desert silence, and life in Guatemala.

All of de Berge's books are available at Amazon and other online book retailers. More information, including an excerpt from the book and a PDF of selected photos from 'A Finger Of Land On An Old Man's Hand', with insider details revealing Baja in the 1960s, is available at his website at https://www.earldeberge.com/.

Author Katherine Wynter Releases New Fantasy Novel, 'Hunt For The Lost Raven: Reaper Legacy, Book One'

Katherine Wynter builds fantasy worlds peopled with believable characters and complex cultures

Katherine Wynter, author of distinctive literary fiction and fantasy, has announced the release of her latest fantasy novel, 'Hunt for the Lost Raven: Reaper Legacy, Book One'. An accomplished master of her craft, Katherine Wynter builds fantasy worlds peopled with believable characters and complex cultures. Her original, dark works are captivating.

Think there is nothing new to write about monsters and demons? Think again. Wynter deftly walks the razor’s edge between fact and fiction to produce fantastic works that are riveting, compelling, and, above all, believable.

In 'Hunt for the Lost Raven,' Lilianna Raven dreams of the day she can sail away on one of the elegant skyships that trade with her remote isle.  Before she gets the chance, however, her village is attacked by Reapers – a bloodthirsty nomadic people known for taking what they want and killing anyone who stands in their way.  Her flight from the Reapers takes her across the floating isles of the Sundered Realms via an ancient system of gateways believed destroyed in the Breaking.

Hunting Lili is the ruthless Captain Kyralynn Ranise, daughter of the Reaper Dragon Lord.  But she’s not alone.  A captive mage, rival Reaper clans, and even the gods themselves vie for the secret Lili’s father entrusted her with safekeeping.

"I wrote this book out of a desire to pit two very opposite, yet strong, women against each other and see what happened. Will they kill each other? Help each other? Or will it be mutually assured destruction? I can't wait to find out."

Katherine Wynter is a prolific writer. Her other works include 'Blackout', a unique zombie story set in a dystopian Chicago where eternity is an injection away and 'Awakening, the Keeper Chronicles Book 1', a steamy urban fantasy in which the only thing hotter than the food are the idyllic lighthouse bed-n-breakfast’s mysterious guests. 'Keeper Chronicles: Awakening', an urban fantasy novel, was selected as an INDIEFAB Book of the Year Finalist in fantasy.

Wynter has received lavish praise from industry reviewers. K.C. Finn of Readers' Favorite stated, “If you’re looking for a compelling urban fantasy read with a rich plot, romance and mystery, then look no further than Awakening.” Self Publishing Review said, “A creepy and epic story to thrill urban fantasy fans from a talented narrator…” Foreword Clarion Reviews stated, "Urban fantasy fans will find unique and enthralling characters in this suspenseful story…In a genre that is too often crowded with defanged vampires and misunderstood monsters, this book focuses on the dark and scary side of demons.”

A recent interview with Katherine Wynter is available on The Authors Show site at http://www.TheAuthorsShow.com.

Katherine Wynter is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at katherinewynter@yahoo.com. All of her works are available at Amazon and other online book retailers. More information is available at her site at http://www.katherinewynter.com.

About Katherine Wynter:
Katherine Wynter fell in love with the horror and fantasy genres at a young age, hiding in libraries whenever she had the chance and reading till they made her leave – usually by throwing her book out the door so she was forced to follow. Katherine lives in Cincinnati, Ohio, with her husband and four insane cats of doom and destruction.

On November 19th, Ocean Township Hadassah hosted a very special evening for their members at Congregation Torat El in Ocean Township with guest author and psychologist Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein. Dr. Holstein presented a page to stage reading of 'Around Every Corner'. The presentation was directed by Bob Angelini of ReVision Theatre in Asbury Park which was based on Dr. Holstein's book trilogy 'Next Year in Jerusalem' which has just been reissued on Amazon's Kindle as Around Every Corner, Romance & Mystery.... The performers were Amy Goldman as 'Natalie', Alan Goldman as 'Jack' and Susan Belfer as 'Maggie'.

"I found it exciting," stated Dr. Holstein, "to combine my expertise as a psychologist with my writing talents. I think readers will enjoy the result - a story filled with romance, intrigue, mystery, travel and spiritual awakenings."

In 'Next Year In Jerusalem', two women face extraordinary circumstances in one of the most spiritual, mysterious, romantic cities in the world. In this new novel, the reader is taken into the depths of confusion and mixed feelings that the protagonists, Natalie and Maggie, experience as they fall into mystery, spiritual awakenings and romance.

Written by an 11 year old girl as a diary, Dr. Barbara has embedded within the story positive truths and concepts geared to help girls develop self-esteem and resiliency. Sky Pony Press will be publishing The Truth in the summer of 2014.

Her second book in The Truth Series is 'Secrets: You Tell Me Yours and I’ll Tell You Mine…Maybe!’  Now the girl is 13. She handles many adolescent issues, including a crush, moving, a death in the family, feeling fat and problems with girlfriends.  'Secrets' provides a book kids and parents and grandparents can share and use as a sounding board for needed communication between the generations.

Both 'The Truth' and 'Secrets' are great for grandparents, older siblings and teachers to establish lines of communication with the tweens in their lives. Both books will be re-released by Sky Pony Press.

Author And Positive Psychologist Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein Announces Book Publication, Issues Statement On Raising Self Esteem For Girls

New York City recently unveiled a $333,000 project entitled The NYC Girls Project, the first campaign by a major city aimed at girls' body image. Dr. Holstein, author of 'The Truth', feels this is a major step forward in helping female teens and tweens

New York City has unveiled a major project to help young girls raise self-esteem, specifically in regards to body image. The NYC Girls Project will address self-esteem issues at 75 after school programs and will include a Twitter campaign. Samantha Levine, an aide to Mr. Bloomberg, conceived the project when she became aware that very young girls were getting plastic surgery and even wearing body-shaping garments in an effort to achieve a positive self image.

"I'm so thrilled," stated Dr. Holstein, "with the NYC Girls Project.  I love that people, even while sitting in a taxi, will watch 30-second videos of girls of all types, proud of who they are and what they love to do.  Congratulations to NYC for recognizing the potential danger in letting our kids feel bad or sad about themselves."

"We all know that we can't all be models or superthin or even athletic.  The problem is that we get caught up as a society around certain artificial values, forgetting that beauty starts inside out, not outside in."

"As a psychologist my mission is to help girls, tweens and teens value themselves. Every girl deserves to be happy in who she is and how she feels about herself.  In The Truth (I'm a girl, I'm smart and I know everything) I made sure that the girl who keeps the diary always finds a way, even under the pressures of life, such as moving to a new town, a crush, trouble with a best friend, parents fighting, etc. to be true to herself.  Every page of the book is designed to help any girl reading the book, even one who has felt bad about herself, to start to feel proud and more sure of herself.  Every girl deserves to be a winner."

Dr. Holstein's book for teens and tweens, ‘The Truth, (I’m a girl, I’m Smart and I Know Everything)’ is a first in positive psychology. It is a fiction book for girls, tweens and teens. Written by an 11 year old girl as a diary, Dr. Barbara has embedded within the story positive truths and concepts geared to help girls develop self-esteem and resiliency. Sky Pony Press will be publishing The Truth in the summer of 2014.

Sky Pony Press, the children’s imprint of Skyhorse Publishing, launched its first list in Fall 2011 and has about 100 books in print currently. Sky Pony publishes picture books, middle grade, YA, and children’s nonfiction titles, with an emphasis on books that inform children of the world in which they live and promote good self-esteem, good citizenship, and a love of reading.

Her second book in The Truth Series is 'Secrets: You Tell Me Yours and I’ll Tell You Mine…Maybe!’  Now the girl is 13. She handles many adolescent issues, including a crush, moving, a death in the family, feeling fat and problems with girlfriends.  'Secrets' provides a book kids and parents and grandparents can share and use as a sounding board for needed communication between the generations.

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein On Today.com - Americans Pick 50 As The Perfect Age

Dr. Holstein is both a Positive Psychologist and successful author. Recently she was quoted on Today.com regarding why Americans have chosen age 50 as the perfect age

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein was asked by Today.com why she feels 50 is the perfect age. Her comments were insightful, engaging and more than a bit amusing.

"You're young enough," Dr. Holstein stated, "to be famous or start an organic farm and still have the muscle tone to work eight hours a day. You're old enough to have wisdom but young enough that your parents are still alive so you have a generational experience. If you're tired, you can ask the young man on the bus to get out of his seat for you. Or you can date the young man. The more I think about it, the more appealing it is . . ."

“I really think 50 is the new 30 to 35.  For a woman, you can stay stylish and fit and maybe get your hair dyed or just do a little cosmetic tune-up and feel, ‘Wow, this is great.' In terms of childbearing, you can basically say forget it or if you want a baby at 50 or 53, you can get your hormones juiced up and go for it. Research shows that as we age, we tend to be less depressed, less anxious and more optimistic than our juniors. And we also become more comfortable with ourselves and our bodies."

What about those who feel 50 may not be the perfect age? Dr. Holstein offers some additional advice: "Make a list of your talents, strengths and potential.  If you don't know where to start scan your childhood and start with what you felt good at as a child.  Don't worry if the talent didn't make you into a star.  Even one year of piano if you enjoyed it, or having a small garden or loving to draw pictures counts.  Whatever it was, it is a signal to you.  The secret is discovering what has great appeal to you and then figuring out how to reinvent it to fit who you are now."

Dr. Holstein's book, ‘The Truth, (I’m a girl, I’m Smart and I Know Everything)’ is a first in positive psychology. It is a fiction book for girls, tweens and teens. Written by an 11 year old girl as a diary, Dr. Barbara has embedded within the story positive truths and concepts geared to help girls develop self-esteem and resiliency

Her second book in The Truth Series is 'Secrets: You Tell Me Yours and I’ll Tell You Mine…Maybe!’  Now the girl is 13. She handles many adolescent issues, including a crush, moving, a death in the family, feeling fat and problems with girlfriends.  'Secrets' provides a book kids and parents and grandparents can share and use as a sounding board for needed communication between the generations.

Both 'The Truth' and 'Secrets' are great for grandparents, older siblings and teachers to establish lines of communication with the tweens in their lives. Both books will be rereleased by Sky Pony Press, the children's book imprint of Skyhorse Publishing. 'The Truth' will be published in July, 2014

Dr. Holstein has recently published two romantic fiction novels, 'Next Year In Jerusalem: Romance, Mystery and Spiritual Awakenings' and 'Next Year In Jerusalem Part Two: Around Every Corner Mystery & Romance in the Holy Land'. These romantic fiction novels tell the stories of Natalie and Maggie, best friends since college, who find themselves in the romantic, mystical and intriguing city of Jerusalem when Natalie’s husband, David, takes a short sabbatical there.

Michigan Author Solease M. Barner Releases New Mystery Book 'Awakens', Second In The 'Secrets Of The Ghosts' Trilogy

The new mystery book is the second in the trilogy. The book follows in the tradition of espionage novels such as 'The Bourne Identity' with a unique twist - the protagonists are female assassins

Author Solease M. Barner has released 'Awakens'. The new mystery book is the second in the 'Secrets Of The Ghosts' suspense trilogy. The new thriller, like the first, is a work incorporating suspense, fantasy, espionage and murder. The books, written in the tradition of 'The Bourne Identity', center on a group of sisters who are female assassins.

The protagonist in 'Awakens', Holiday Towley, is a wife, mother, wedding planner and secret government assassin. Holiday’s life was complicated enough when all she had to do was plan weddings and kill people. Now with her daughter threatened by the people she should have been able most to trust, and her marriage threatened by the handsome and enigmatic David, she faces the ruin of all she has worked for.

"This book," stated Ms. Barner, "continues the story of Holiday. It will give readers more of an insight into her childhood and her special gift. In 'Awakens' readers will really be able to connect with Holiday. I really enjoyed writing 'Awakens', as readers really get to see the sisters in action more and that was fun to write."

Holiday is now facing more than just a mother who has betrayed her. She is now facing truths about herself including love, family and her biological mother. Holiday learns more about her bloodline and how she is different from others. The second installment answers many questions from 'The Sleeper', while creating even more mystery in anticipation of the third installment.

"This book had to be written", Barner continued, "to help explain Holiday and where she comes from. 'Awakens' provides explanations for many of the things that take place in 'The Sleeper'."

Solease M. Barner follows in the footsteps of her favorite authors - John Grisham, Terry McMillian, and Stephanie Meyer. Underlying her storylines is a message - when adversity arises it is family who will be there in times of need. Readers will more deeply appreciate their own families after reading her work.

Both titles are available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Goodreads, Kobo, iTunes, Smashwords and All Romance-Omni Lit. Both are available for Kindle, Nook, iPhone and iPad.

Solease M. Barner is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at soleaseb@gmail.com. More information is available at her website at http://www.soleasembarner.com.

About Solease M. Barner:

Solease graduated from the University of Michigan with a Bachelors in Sociology. She then went on to graduate from Kaplan University with a Master’s in Criminal Justice. During her time in higher education she continued to write with a deeper passion for writing. Her career passion is Criminal Justice, but her first love is writing poetry and short stories. This love led her to write her first novel ‘Secrets of the Ghosts’.

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein Teaches Schoolchildren How To Turn Diary Entries Into Books

Dr. Holstein is both a Positive Psychologist and the author of ''The Truth (I'm A Girl, I'm Smart And I Know Everything) Dr. Holstein recently appeared at Ocean Township Intermediate School in Monmouth County, New Jersey to encourage children to become authors

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein recently appeared at Ocean Township Intermediate School in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Dr. Holstein was one of six authors invited to teach talented groups of 6th graders who wish to refine their writing skills. This year marks her fourth year as a guest author. Next year she will be inaugurated into the school's Hall of Fame.

Dr. Holstein taught six different classes of 6th graders in the course of the day.  Her topic was "From Diary Entry to Fiction, Poetry and More." After sharing a ‘Truth for Girls’ video, 'The Truth for Girls, Puberty, Mood Swings and More', Dr. Holstein taught the children how to first write a diary entry and then how to change, modify, exaggerate or brainstorm off of it, to turn it into a fictional work of some sort.

"The fiction that the students produced," Dr Holstein stated, "in a one-shot deal was fabulous.  I was amazed at their abilities to use expressive language and to a full plot that could even expand into a book from just a short diary entry.  Never underestimate the potential creative skills and ingenious ideas of kids. I can't wait to do this again."

Dr. Holstein's book, ‘The Truth, (I’m a girl, I’m Smart and I Know Everything)’ is a first in positive psychology. It is a fiction book for girls, tweens and teens. Written by an 11 year old girl as a diary, Dr. Barbara has embedded within the story positive truths and concepts geared to help girls develop self-esteem and resiliency

Her second book in The Truth Series is 'Secrets: You Tell Me Yours and I’ll Tell You Mine…Maybe!’  Now the girl is 13. She handles many adolescent issues, including a crush, moving, a death in the family, feeling fat and problems with girlfriends.  Kids and parents have a book they can share and use as a sounding board for needed communication between the generations. Both 'The Truth' and 'Secrets' are great for grandparents, older siblings and teachers to establish lines of communication with the tweens in their lives.

"If I can help children," Dr. Holstein continued, "move from reading another child's diary, like 'The Truth', and/or write their own entries into diaries and then move to an inspirational level of fictional writing that helps them believe in themselves, then I feel blessed in my work as a positive psychologist and educator."

In addition to running a thriving practice, Dr. Holstein is a very successful author across many genres. The human spirit, with its capacity for survival, growth and joy, has always been a subject of interest for Dr. Holstein.  She is available for media interview and can be reached using the information below or by email at drbarbara@enchantedself.com.

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein Interviewed Regarding How Fantasy And Romantic Fiction Can Improve One’s Life

Dr. Holstein is both a Positive Psychologist and the author of 'Next Year In Jerusalem'. Her new romance book is the second in the 'Jerusalem Trilogy'.  Dr. Holstein recently appeared on Askimo TV, where she discussed the positive role fantasy and romantic fiction can play in our lives

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein recently appeared on Askimo TV where she discussed how important fantasy and romantic fiction can be in creating a rich and full life.

It is a given that people we not always happy. When people are down in the dumps, blue, sick with an illness, lonely, or in a bad state for whatever other reason, fantasy can really help. As a Positive Psychologist and Life Coach, Dr. Holstein believes fantasy can be critical to leading a happy life.

"The famous author Norman Cousins," stated Dr. Holstein, "when sick with a serious illness, explained that he made a decision to come back to health by laughing every day. To do this he watched comedies on television every day in his hospital room. He laughed and laughed and did get much better.This is an example of the positive use of fantasy in daily living."

In addition to running a thriving practice, Dr. Holstein is a very successful author across many genres. The human spirit, with its capacity for survival, growth and joy, has always been a subject of interest for Dr. Holstein.  She recently released 'Next Year In Jerusalem Part Two: Around Every Corner Mystery & Romance in the Holy Land'. The new romance novel is the second in the 'Jerusalem Trilogy'. Combining her talents as a writer and a psychologist has resulted in a storyline filled with romance, intrigue, mystery, and spiritual awakenings. Being a new romance book, 'Next Year In Jerusalem' is a work of fantasy that serves a greater purpose.

"The amazing thing about good romantic fiction," stated Dr. Holstein, "is it gives the reader a chance to experience different feelings and behaviors with no damage done.  A romance book can move the reader to tears and passion, and it can also move her to try new actions and decisions in her own life.  So in reality a good romance novel like any other great read can be just the 'medicine' one needs to improve one's own life."

In 'Next Year In Jerusalem', two women face extraordinary circumstances in one of the most spiritual, mysterious, romantic cities in the world. Part 2 in this trilogy expands upon the adventures of Natalie and Maggie, best friends since college, who find themselves steeped in the romance, mysticism and mystery of Jerusalem.

A recent reviewer stated "I traveled to Israel vicariously through the characters and with them enjoyed each step along the cobbled streets of ancient Jerusalem. Barbara Becker Holstein weaves themes of friendship, love, spirituality, and mystery, engaging the reader from the start. I look forward to the next installment!"

A Facebook page has been created for the work, titled 'Next Year In Jerusalem'. A YouTube channel, 'NextYearNJerusalem' is also available. 'Next Year In Jerusalem Part Two: Around Every Corner Mystery & Romance in the Holy Land' is available in print and in Kindle format. More information is available at Dr. Holstein's website at www.newromancebooks.com.

Michigan Author Solease M. Barner Releases New Mystery Book 'The Sleeper', First In The 'Secrets Of The Ghosts' Trilogy

The new mystery book is the first in a trilogy. The book follows in the tradition of espionage novels such as 'The Bourne Identity' with a unique twist - the protagonists are female assassins

Author Solease M. Barner has released 'The Sleeper'. The new mystery book is the first in the 'Secrets Of The Ghosts' trilogy. The new thriller is a work incorporating suspense, fantasy, espionage and murder. The book, written in the tradition of 'The Bourne Identity', centers on a group of sisters who are female assassins.

"I want the readers to know," stated Ms. Barner, "that writing 'Secrets of the Ghosts-The Sleeper' was pure joy. The main character Holiday's life is so interesting. I hope readers enjoy reading 'The Sleeper' as much as I had writing it."

In the first installment of the trilogy of mystery books, Holiday Towley is a loving perfect wife and mother who holds a deep dark secret. Holiday's dark secret is revealed when her daughter's safety is compromised by unforeseen circumstances. Holiday's life becomes more complex when she finds out the truth of who she really is. Holiday soon finds out she has a special gift that will change her life and may protect her daughter from the secret life that she has kept hidden.

"There are so many different characters in ‘The Sleeper’," Barner continued, "that readers will find someone they will love and hate. The main character sisters will make readers think of their own family, with their conversations and love towards one another. When writing this novel I wanted readers to identify with the story."

Solease M. Barner follows in the footsteps of her favorite authors - John Grisham, Terry McMillian, and Stephanie Meyer. Underlying her storylines is a message - when adversity arises it is family who will be there in times of need. Readers will more deeply appreciate their own families after reading her work.

‘The Last Secret of Nikola Tesla’, Sequel To ‘Spear Of Seth’, Released By Pennsylvania Author René Daniel

Author René Daniel writes in the traditions of ‘Indiana Jones and ‘House Of Anubis’. He describes his genre as ‘Falenture’, a blend of fantasy, legend and adventure

Pennsylvania author René Daniel has announced the release of ‘The Last Secret of Nikola Tesla’. Daniel’s first fantasy adventure novel, ‘Spear of Seth’, was written in the spirit of 'Indiana Jones' and 'House of Anubis'. The novel took modern day archaeologists into the Egyptian Underworld and was a deftly written blend of fantasy, legend and adventure; a genre Daniel has termed ‘Falenture’. His next novel, 'The Last Secret of Nikola Tesla', follows the same popular format.

In 'Spear of Seth', college sophomore Alex Khyan experienced a summer session unlike one any other college student has ever known. Entering the Egyptian underworld to seek the Spear of Seth, a legendary cure for a mystical poison that nearly claimed the life of his friend and mentor, Alex and his friends fought monsters, demons, and not-so-benevolent gods. They pulled it off, but, after his summer of Indiana Jones-like adventures, Alex hoped never again to do anything more exciting than accidentally blowing something up in his chemistry lab. But Fate was not done with Alex yet.

In 'The Last Secret of Nikola Tesla', a devastating tragedy in Alex's personal life pulls him back into the whirlwind of international intrigue, strange creatures that pre-date pyramids, and religious missions whose converts are not quite what they seem. And so Alex and friends ride again in the stand-alone sequel to ‘Spear of Seth’, from New York to Alexandria, from Florida to the White Desert and back again, following a trail that links a legendary civilization to the work of that mysterious genius, Nikola Tesla.

”I wrote this book,” stated Daniel, “for all the fans of Nikola Tesla, for lovers of Egypt and last, but not least, for all people who enjoyed the first book of the series, ‘Spear of Seth’.

René Daniel is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at Rene_Daniel@verizon.net. Both ‘Spear of Seth’ and ‘The Last Secret Of Nikola Tesla’ are available at Amazon and most online book retailers and can be also downloaded at Rene Daniel’s website at http://www.newfantasyfovel.com.

About René Daniel:

In his other life, René Daniel is a physician and a researcher in the fields of gene therapy, HIV and aging. Writing is his great love. He refers to his genre as FALENTURE - a mix of fantasy, legends and adventure.

Unlike a classical fantasy, FALENTURE builds on and sticks close to epic legends of human history, and asks a question: what if they are/were real? Is there really an Egypt Underworld? Was there really a Lost City of Z? What if the mysterious late inventions of Nikola Tesla worked? A FALENTURE could be compared to a combination of ‘Lord Of The Rings’, ‘The DaVinci Code’ and ‘Indiana Jones’.

Pennsylvania Author Rene Daniel Announces Dramatic Increase In Sales Of 'Spear Of Seth' And The Release Of A New Novel


Daniel describes his genre as ‘Falenture’, a blend of fantasy, legend and adventure. ‘Spear Of Seth', written in the spirit of ‘Indiana Jones’ and ‘House Of Anubis’ takes modern day archaeologists into the Egyptian Underworld. 'Last Secret Of Nikola Tesla', his next fantasy adventure novel, is slated for release in mid 2012

Pennsylvania author Rene Daniel's fantasy adventure novel, ‘Spear of Seth’, is written in the spirit of 'Indiana Jones' and 'House of Anubis'. The novel takes modern day archaeologists into the Egyptian Underworld. 'Spear Of Seth' is a blend of fantasy, legend and adventure. Daniel has termed this new genre ‘Falenture’. His next novel, 'Last Secret Of Nikola Tesla', follows the same popular format.

"Storylines such as those found in the 'Indiana Jones' series and 'House Of Anubis'," said Mr. Daniels, "never seem to go out of favor with the book buying public. These type of stories all the reader to live vicariously and to lose themselves in the story. I believe the blend of fantasy, legend and adventure, something I've termed 'Falenture', is responsible for the increased popularity and readership of 'Spear Of Seth'."

Alex Khyan, the protagonist of ‘Spear of Seth’, is a premed student of the Van Senmut College, who gets a summer job as a translator at an archeological dig at the island of Elephantine in the Upper Egypt. Here he meets Heather Van Senmut and her father, John Van Senmut, a grandson of the founder of the college and the archeologist in charge of the excavations. The dig is not just some dig; it is the ruins of the Temple of Osiris, which stands at the mythical place where Nile emerges from the Egyptian Underworld. When John Van Senmut, falls ill and physicians give up on him, his daughter decides to search the Temple for the cause of the disease and possibly a cure. Her quest leads her, and her unwilling helper Alex, into the Netherworld, which survived the Egyptian civilization by two thousand years. They negotiate its dangers, as well as dangers that come from their contemporaries. They do have only one guide – the Book of Gates, which decorates the sarcophagus of the pharaoh Seti.

"In 'Last Secret Of Nikola Tesla'," continued Mr. Daniel, "I hope to be able to build upon the success of 'Spear Of Seth' and to continue to offer readers another novel that combines fantasy, legend and adventure".

Mr. Daniel is offering a no-charge electronic copy of "Last Secret Of Nikola Tesla’ to anyone who writes a review for 'Spear Of Seth' on Amazon or on their own blog.

Rene Daniel is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at rene_daniel@verizon.net. More information on the author, the novel and the review offer is available at his website. ‘Spear of Seth’ is available at his website, Amazon and most online book retailers.
