David Michael Palladino writes inspirational fiction. His highly praised works teach important ideals and values. He utilizes engaging works of fiction to accomplish that goal
As Americans we are often told, via the media, that America is rife with unsolvable problems at nearly every level. However nothing could be further from the truth. In fact America is, and always has been, the greatest country on Earth.
Freedom is the cornerstone of the American way of life. That freedom has been protected for hundreds of years. But it is more than that. America is one of the few countries in the world that consistently evaluates itself at every level, constantly readjusting to assure that we living up to our core values. Those values include decency, respect for all people, kindness, strength, justice based on law, government by the people and opportunity for all. American citizens protect those values at all costs, up to and including making the ultimate sacrifice.
Inspirational author David Michael Palladino believes in America and what America holds dear. He writes inspirational fiction that allows us to experience a time when America held hope and promise out to the entire world. The engaging story of Adriana Corderu is told through two novels, 'Adriana Corderu - Quest for Freedom' and 'Adriana Corderu - Western Odyssey'. In these books he takes the reader back to that period, immersing them in the history of those times. He clearly shows us what we were and, perhaps more importantly, what we might be again.
In regard to the first book, Palladino said, "If your world seems to go sideways, come and visit Adriana and all of your other new friends, and they'll let you know that you can make it through. Because once you've seen the world through the eyes of Adriana, it will never seem the same."
In regard to the second book, Palladino stated, "Take her to the airport. Take her to the beach. Spend quiet evenings with Adriana and all of your other new friends. They'll let you know that everything's gonna be OK. Because once you've seen the world through the eyes of Adriana, it will never seem the same."
Palladino teaches, through his works of fiction, important ideals and values. As a former U.S. Army Ranger, former High School Phys-Ed & Health Teacher and Coach, and founder of “Palladino Martial Arts,” he understands the significance of instilling these all-important ideals and values in young people. 'Quest for Freedom' helps communicate freedom's true meaning to a younger audience. For this reason it will appeal to parents, grandparents and educators and those who are old enough to remember what America used to be. Palladino deftly paints a picture of America as she really was during the Cold War. He shows us clearly why American freedom and American values held such appeal for many oppressed people in other parts of the world.
'Adriana Corderu - Quest for Freedom' is the first book in the series. During the first Cold War the world revolved around the conflict between the theologies of communism and democracy. The two main protagonists in this conflict were the United States in the West, and the Soviet Union in the East. As Eastern Bloc leaders began to tighten restrictions in the lives of their people, commensurate with their increase in power, there began to emerge, in the East, a group of young people, hard and idealistic, adventurous and courageous. These would become the heroes of the movement of their time. These were the brave young souls who, with inspiration from President Reagan, began to break down the Iron Curtain. The escape from Soviet Communism and the quest for freedom is the theme of 'Quest for Freedom'. Set in the Cold War era, the book is the engaging story of Adriana Corderu and her quest to obtain freedom by escaping the Iron Curtain.
'Adriana Corderu - Western Odyssey' continues where the first book in the series left off. In the second book, readers will come to know a whole new cast of characters as Adriana continues her journey as she experiences the refugee camps of Italy and comes to know Italian culture with a new family even while under the yoke of the Romanian Securitate, which is still trying to abduct her and bring her back to Eastern Europe. Readers will go with her into the cauldron that was New York City where the only safe place to be was where the Italian Cosa Nostra ruled and will then experience the wonder of the Laurel Highlands of Southwestern Pennsylvania and the rugged big-hearted people who live there.
Adriana experiences heartbreaking loss and the wonders of new love. Readers can learn with her as she remembers her sister’s revelations about America’s regular military, to include units like the 82nd Airborne Division, the 1st Cavalry Division, and the 101st Air Cavalry Screaming Eagles. Readers can then witness the heat of her emotions when she, for the first time comes into contact with men of the US Army Ranger Battalions. Adriana comes to know these hard men and learns from them of the dramatic differences and contrasts between the US regular military and the units of the US Special Operations Command and Joint Special Operations Command. Readers will be fascinated with units such as the Army Rangers and Green Berets, the Navy SEALS, and other units that make up the US Special Operations Division to include units from the Air Force and Marines. Readers will learn what really happened during Operation Urgent Fury on the island of Grenada in October, 1983 and of the US Military of the “Reagan Era.” The story of Adriana’s Western Odyssey will not only entertain, but will also educate and uplift.
'Quest for Freedom' has received rave reviews. One reviewer stated, "More native born Americans need to know this story and more importantly appreciate our country as she did." Another said, "The readers become engrossed immediately in Palladino's dynamic effervescent style."
In a personal correspondence to Palladino, LTC (Ret.) Anthony B. Herbert, New York Times Bestselling Author of 'Soldier', said "David, you are a fabulous writer!"

The Extraordinary Appeal Of The American Way Of Life Is The Theme Of The Adriana Corderu Series Of Books By Author David Michael Palladino
Wednesday, May 23, 2018
America And The Life Changing Gifts Of Freedom Are The Central Themes Of The Adriana Corderu Series By Author David Michael Palladino
David Michael Palladino writes inspirational fiction for young readers. His highly praised works teach important ideals and values. He utilizes engaging works of fiction to accomplish that goal.
While the news media may have a tendency to focus on the negative aspects of life in America, inspirational book author David Michael Palladino takes an opposing stance. In his opinion, many of us have lost sight of what it really means to be a free citizen in the greatest country in the world.
In regards to the first book, Palladino said, "If your world seems to go sideways, come and visit Adriana and all of your other new friends, and they'll let you know that you can make it through. Because once you've seen the world through the eyes of Adriana, it will never seem the same."
In regards to the second book, Palladino stated, "Take her to the airport. Take her to the beach. Spend quiet evenings with Adriana and all of your other new friends. They'll let you know that everything's gonna be OK. Because once you've seen the world through the eyes of Adriana, it will never seem the same."
The theme "Make America Great Again" implies movement in two directions: forward toward a brighter future and at the same time backward to a time when Americans held a set of core values that, in today's economic and political environment, have become clouded by negativity and fear.

The State Of The Union - Making America Great Again Is Finally Becoming Reality Says Author David Palladino
David Michael Palladino writes inspirational fiction for young readers. His highly praised works teach important ideals and values. He utilizes engaging works of fiction to accomplish that goal.
In Donald Trump's State of the Union address, he addressed the economic success the US achieved during his first year in office. The stock market has risen dramatically and jobless numbers have decreased. All of this on top of a large tax cut and the rollback of regulations that should open allow businesses to thrive. Illegal immigration is down. Can there be more to come? We should all hope so.
Make America Great Again is a concept that implies movement in two directions: a move toward a brighter future and a move backwards to a time when Americans held a set of core values that, in today's economic and political environment, have become clouded.
David Michael Palladino writes inspirational fiction that looks into the past to paint us a picture of what the American Dream used to be and how important it was to those of that time period.

The new book, 'Adriana Corderu - Western Odyssey', is the second book in his series and continues where the first book in the series left off. In the second book, readers will come to know a whole new cast of characters as Adriana continues her journey as she experiences the refugee camps of Italy and comes to know Italian culture with a new family even while under the yoke of the Romanian Securitate, which is still trying to abduct her and bring her back to Eastern Europe. Readers will go with her into the cauldron that was New York City where the only safe place to be was where the Italian Cosa Nostra ruled and will then experience the wonder of the Laurel Highlands of Southwestern Pennsylvania and the rugged big-hearted people who live there.
Adriana experiences heartbreaking loss and the wonders of new love. Readers can learn with her as she remembers her sister’s revelations about America’s regular military, to include units like the 82nd Airborne Division, the 1st Cavalry Division, and the 101st Air Cavalry Screaming Eagles. Readers can then witness the heat of her emotions when she, for the first time comes into contact with men of the US Army Ranger Battalions. Adriana comes to know these hard men and learns from them of the dramatic differences and contrasts between the US regular military and the units of the US Special Operations Command and Joint Special Operations Command. Readers will be fascinated with units such as the Army Rangers and Green Berets, the Navy SEALS, and other units that make up the US Special Operations Division to include units from the Air Force and Marines. Readers will learn what really happened during Operation Urgent Fury on the island of Grenada in October, 1983 and of the US Military of the “Reagan Era.” The story of Adriana’s Western Odyssey will not only entertain, but will also educate and uplift.
Palladino teaches, through his works of fiction, important ideals and values. As a former U.S. Army Ranger, former High School Phys-Ed & Health Teacher and Coach, and founder of “Palladino Martial Arts”, he understands the significance of instilling these all-important ideals and values in people. Both of his books help communicate freedom's true meaning to a broad audience. For this reason it will appeal to parents, grandparents and educators and those who are old enough to remember what America used to be. Palladino deftly paints a picture of America as she really was during the Cold War. He shows us clearly why American freedom and American values held such appeal for many oppressed people in other parts of the world.
'Adriana Corderu - Quest for Freedom' is the first book in the series. During the first Cold War the world revolved around the conflict between the theologies of communism and democracy. The two main protagonists in this conflict were the United States in the West, and the Soviet Union in the East. As Eastern Bloc leaders began to tighten restrictions in the lives of their people, commensurate with their increase in power, there began to emerge, in the East, a group of young people, hard and idealistic, adventurous and courageous. These would become the heroes of the movement of their time. These were the brave young souls who, with inspiration from President Reagan, began to break down the Iron Curtain. The escape from Soviet Communism and the quest for freedom is the theme of 'Quest for Freedom'. Set in the Cold War era, the book is the engaging story of Adriana Corderu and her quest to obtain freedom by escaping the Iron Curtain.
'Quest for Freedom' has received rave reviews. One reviewer stated, "More native born Americans need to know this story and more importantly appreciate our country as she did." Another said, "The readers become engrossed immediately in Palladino's dynamic effervescent style."

Make America Great Again Message Is Not Just A Slogan Says David Michael Palladino, Author Of Adriana Corderu Series Of Inspirational Books
David Michael Palladino writes inspirational fiction. His works address important ideals and values. He utilizes engaging works of fiction to accomplish that goal.
During the 1980 Presidential campaign Ronald Reagan used a slogan that resonated deeply with American voters - "Let's Make America Great Again". That slogan became "Make America Great Again" and was used by President Trump in his bid for the presidency. Why use a slogan that had already been used?
Because that's what Americans want.
While there is a good deal of controversy in regards to what "great" means, it is this idea that ultimately brings all Americans together. Regardless of how one feels about immigration, border safety, globalization, Planned Parenthood or any of the other issues that divide groups of people, everyone wants to see America maintain its position of leader of the free world.
Author David Michael Palladino provides a vision of America in his works of fiction that, while based on historical events, also lay out a rock solid platform of American ideals and values.
"We must first ensure the safety of the nation," Palladino stated, "The US Border Patrol, the US Military, and all of our nation’s police must get the full support of our government. The partisan divisions must be wiped away we must come together under one banner. We have to drain the swamp and if the swamp is truly drained we will be able to trust those who occupy the United States Government. We must have eyes that see, ears that hear, and hearts that feel what is truth and what are lies; what is pure and what is corrupt; and what is right and what is wrong."
"If all of these things happen, America will become truly great again."

Immigration, Deportation And American Values - David Michael Palladino's Books Give Readers A Penetrating Look Into American Ideals
David Michael Palladino writes inspirational fiction. His works address important ideals and values. He utilizes engaging works of fiction to accomplish that goal.
Supporters of the agenda laid out by President Trump are likely to find that the works of David Michael Palladino will resonate strongly with them, as the "America First" message underlies everything he writes. The focus on American ideals has been lost. It is Palladino's mission to bring those values back into focus through his books.
President Trump has taken a number of firm actions to protect US citizens from illegal immigration. Some judges have attempted to block the travel ban. Trump vowed to fight the rulings in court. Only time will tell how all of this plays out.
Immigration and the deportation of illegal immigrants are issues that dominate the headlines of nearly every news organization in America. Cities and states are fighting the Federal government while protesters flood the streets. Immigration is an issue that has divided the country, the government and the people.
However the real issue here is not immigration - it is instead illegal immigration. Illegal immigration is the attempt to take advantage of the opportunity America offers; to circumvent the legal process. Times have changed and the processes have changed.
In the past for example, immigrants from Iron Curtain countries truly were fleeing and escaping by land through Yugoslavia into Italy and through Hungary into West Germany. Today it is possible to just jump on a plane and fly to the United States.

Make Charitable Donations To An Animal Charity - Tales2Inspire Now Available For Fundraising
'Tales2Inspire' is an ongoing series of books that are inspiring and motivating. 'Tales2Inspire - Four Legged Teachers & Healers’ is filled with true animal stories.
Most of us are animal lovers in one way or another. However many of our four-legged friends are in desperate need of help. As an individual we can only do so much. One author has developed a way that allows us to indulge our enjoyment of animals and help them at the same time.
Lois W. Stern, developer of six published 'Tales2Inspire' collections, has announced that ‘Tales2Inspire' will partner with some worthy animal related organizations in their fundraising/income producing efforts. Because of her special love for four legged creatures, Stern will consider working with any reputable animal group, but will give first priority to companies that are dedicated to the happiness and well being of animals and their owners. She has made 'Tales2Inspire - Four Legged Teachers & Healers' available for use as a fundraising tool for reputable animal welfare organizations.
‘Tales2Inspire’ is ready to take action, working creatively to make this project a success. Stern will support the chosen company or organization in all phases of book development, from taking charge of story selection, editing, formatting and cover design to assisting in the developing of their online presence.
E-books will be purchased online, with funds deposited to the organization’s bank account immediately after each online sale. Non-profits can promote these purchases as tax deductible donations or even given as gifts to those who make donations above a specified amount. Stern assures interested organizations that they will sustain no upfront costs to a fundraiser with excellent income producing potential.
Further benefits to the animal organization include:
Excellent income producing potential
No upfront costs or fees
Minimal effort
Continual branding of organization and its subsidiaries (both inside and outside the book - i.e. exclusive book cover, company banner insertions, etc.)
Immediate payment (direct bank deposit with each book sale)
Quality product that in itself brings positive PR to organization
Over the past seven years ’Tales2Inspire’ has successfully published six anthologies of varied themes, with each book containing a compilation of stories filled with inspiring messages, edited and formatted by Stern. All stories are true, with the inclusion of original photographs to enhance each story. Stern is proud of her reputation for producing books of stellar quality and content. Her vast and varied experiences in developing her Tales2Inspire® books make her singularly qualified to undertake these projects, as does her admirable work ethic. “I enjoy the entire process, from polishing good stories until they shine, to working harmoniously with participants, and finally, to formatting books inside and out to give them instant eye appeal.”
Tales2Inspire books have received rave reviews from readers and reviewers alike:
Dr. Bernie Siegel, noted physician, healer, author and humanist stated, "A book with a heart, filled with stories which reveal what happens when we choose to live in a way that is life enhancing for all God's creatures. Read and learn the lessons of life." A Readers Favorite review said, ". . . a collection of insightful & inspirational stories to move the hearts of readers . . . " Animal Consciousness Scientist gave 'Fur and Feathers' a 5 Star review and said, "Truly absorbing and charming real life vignettes that open our human minds to the utterly emotional world of animals.

President Trump And The Restoration Of American Values - David Michael Palladino's 'Quest For Freedom' Paints A Picture Of America As It Was
David Michael Palladino writes inspirational fiction for young readers. His works teach important ideals and values. He utilizes engaging works of fiction to accomplish that goal
The newly installed President of the United States has pledged to make America great again. The question we must now ask is, "What did America look like when it was great?" Author David Michael Palladino writes inspirational fiction that paints that picture for us. Through the engaging story of Adriana Corderu, he takes the reader back to that period in history and clearly shows us what we were and what we might be again.
"I have a vision," Palladino stated, "In this vision, the first order of business for the new presidential administration is to give carte blanche to those who occupy the institutions that insure the safety of those who occupy the nation."
"I have a vision of the US Border Patrol, the US Military, and all of our nation’s police receiving the full support of our new government."
"If these visions become reality, the United States will become the safest national domicile on earth."
"I have a vision of the partisan divisions being wiped away and of seeing everyone come together under one banner."
"If this vision becomes a reality; if the swamp is truly drained, we the people will be able to trust, again, those who occupy the United States Government."
"I have a vision of eyes that see, ears that hear, and hearts that feel what is truth and what are lies; what is pure and what is corrupt; and what is right and what is wrong."
"If all of these visions become one combined reality, America will become truly great again."
David Michael Palladino, author of 'Quest for Freedom', writes inspirational fiction for young people. He teaches, through his works of fiction, important ideals and values. As a former U.S. Army Ranger, former High School Phys-Ed & Health Teacher and Coach, and founder of “Palladino Martial Arts”, he understands the significance of instilling these all-important ideals and values in young people. 'Quest for Freedom' helps communicate freedom's true meaning to a younger audience. For this reason it will appeal to parents, grandparents and educators and those who are old enough to remember what America used to be. Palladino deftly paints a picture of America as she really was during the Cold War. He shows us clearly why American freedom and American values held such appeal for many oppressed people in other parts of the world.
'Adriana Corderu - Quest for Freedom' is the first book in the series. During the first Cold War the world revolved around the conflict between the theologies of communism and democracy. The two main protagonists in this conflict were the United States in the West, and the Soviet Union in the East. As Eastern Bloc leaders began to tighten restrictions in the lives of their people, commensurate with their increase in power, there began to emerge, in the East, a group of young people, hard and idealistic, adventurous and courageous. These would become the heroes of the movement of their time. These were the brave young souls who, with inspiration from President Reagan, began to break down the Iron Curtain. The escape from Soviet Communism and the quest for freedom is the theme of 'Quest for Freedom'. Set in the Cold War era, the book is the engaging story of Adriana Corderu and her quest to obtain freedom by escaping the Iron Curtain.
'Adriana Corderu - Western Odyssey' continues where the first book in the series left off. In the second book, readers will come to know a whole new cast of characters as Adriana continues her journey as she experiences the refugee camps of Italy and comes to know Italian culture with a new family even while under the yoke of the Romanian Securitate, which is still trying to abduct her and bring her back to Eastern Europe. Readers will go with her into the cauldron that was New York City where the only safe place to be was where the Italian Cosa Nostra ruled and will then experience the wonder of the Laurel Highlands of Southwestern Pennsylvania and the rugged big-hearted people who live there.
Adriana experiences heartbreaking loss and the wonders of new love. Readers can learn with her as she remembers her sister’s revelations about America’s regular military, to include units like the 82nd Airborne Division, the 1st Cavalry Division, and the 101st Air Cavalry Screaming Eagles. Readers can then witness the heat of her emotions when she, for the first time comes into contact with men of the US Army Ranger Battalions. Adriana comes to know these hard men and learns from them of the dramatic differences and contrasts between the US regular military and the units of the US Special Operations Command and Joint Special Operations Command. Readers will be fascinated with units such as the Army Rangers and Green Berets, the Navy SEALS, and other units that make up the US Special Operations Division to include units from the Air Force and Marines. Readers will learn what really happened during Operation Urgent Fury on the island of Grenada in October, 1983 and of the US Military of the “Reagan Era.” The story of Adriana’s Western Odyssey will not only entertain, but will also educate and uplift.
'Quest for Freedom' has received rave reviews. One reviewer stated, "More native born Americans need to know this story and more importantly appreciate our country as she did." Another said, "The readers become engrossed immediately in Palladino's dynamic effervescent style."

The newly installed President of the United States has pledged to make America great again. The question we must now ask is, "What did America look like when it was great?" Author David Michael Palladino writes inspirational fiction that paints that picture for us. Through the engaging story of Adriana Corderu, he takes the reader back to that period in history and clearly shows us what we were and what we might be again.
"I have a vision," Palladino stated, "In this vision, the first order of business for the new presidential administration is to give carte blanche to those who occupy the institutions that insure the safety of those who occupy the nation."
"I have a vision of the US Border Patrol, the US Military, and all of our nation’s police receiving the full support of our new government."
"If these visions become reality, the United States will become the safest national domicile on earth."
"I have a vision of the partisan divisions being wiped away and of seeing everyone come together under one banner."
"If this vision becomes a reality; if the swamp is truly drained, we the people will be able to trust, again, those who occupy the United States Government."

Immigration, American Values And An Epic Journey To Freedom Are Detailed In David Michael Palladino's 'Quest For Freedom'
David Michael Palladino writes inspirational fiction for young readers. His works teach important ideals and values. He utilizes engaging works of fiction to accomplish that goal
'Make America Great Again' is one of the most popular campaign slogans ever created. This slogan moves us in two directions simultaneously - back to a past in which America was perceived to be the greatest country in the world, and forward into a future in which can once again BE the greatest country in the world. That slogan resonates with people who believe America is on a downward slide. The upcoming election could solidify America's becoming great again or it could solidify its downfall.
Immigration is a key issue in political campaigns everywhere. Immigration however is not really the problem - illegal immigration is the problem. Illegal immigration allows people to take advantage of the opportunity America offers without actually joining American society and participating in all that comes with it. The offenders are willing to take that risk, as the alternatives offer little chance for true freedom. The desire to immigrate to the United States is held by people everywhere because America (despite what some politicians and news media might say) continues to be and indeed still is the greatest country in the world. Yes, the USA has slipped a bit and has a few serious problems. Yet in spite of this, America continues to lead the world in freedom, in core values, and is the most important commodity of all - the opportunity for a better life.

The Story Of Olympic Swimmer Ardiana Corderu, Who Defected To The United States, Is Detailed In David Michael Palladino's 'Quest For Freedom'
David Michael Palladino writes inspirational fiction for young readers. His works teach important ideals and values. He utilizes engaging works of fiction to accomplish that goal
While the Leftist Politicians and the leftist US media are playing political games with the issue of immigration these days, many seem to be missing the key point. The desire to immigrate to the United States is held by people worldwide because America is the greatest country in the world. That is the point, and is ultimately the driving force behind immigration.
Immigration and defection, regardless of how they are sliced and diced, are really about people's desire to live in freedom and to escape repression. Defections during the Olympics have a long history, and include the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, the 1964 Winter Olympics in Austria, the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo and the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City. Defections have also occurred in 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984 and 1996.

Immigration And The Desire For Freedom - 'Quest For Freedom' By David Michael Palladino Gives Us A New Perspective On Immigration
David Michael Palladino writes inspirational fiction for young readers. His works teach important ideals and values. He utilizes engaging works of fiction to accomplish that goal
The subject of immigration is one of the hottest news stories taking place in America today. Immigration is a bitterly contested issue, a divisive talking point, a topic for building political platforms and a fiery issue that divides people across every social and economic line imaginable.
So why do so many people hope to immigrate to America? Some people immigrate to escape the ravages of war or persecution or to better themselves and their families. Some hope to have the opportunity for better education, better jobs or to escape from poverty. Healthcare. The environment. Politics. Lifestyle.
While the reasons are many and varied, at the very core of the drive to immigrate is the desire for freedom. Freedom might imply "freedom from" - war, poverty or persecution. Or, freedom imply "freedom to" - grow, thrive, or to live in a specific way. Freedom - whether "from" or "to" - seems to be hardwired into human DNA.
It might be hard for some Americans to relate to this drive for freedom or perhaps to even understand it, as we have always had freedom. America is a primary destination for immigration as America sits at the very top of the list of countries known for personal freedom. America was built on the concept of personal freedom. In the current landscape however, many Americans recognize the need to be vigilant against potential immigrants who do not hold American values in esteem. But perhaps, in our need to be cautious about immigration, we have lost sight of what it is that makes America truly great. It is, in a word, freedom.

Immigration, Ronald Reagan, The Cold War And Freedom - 'Quest For Freedom' By David Michael Palladino Gives Us A New Perspective On Immigration
David Michael Palladino writes inspirational fiction for young readers. His works teach important ideals and values. He utilizes engaging works of fiction to accomplish that goal
Ronald Reagan was a shining example of American leadership, not only in the eyes of David Michael Palladino, but also to many immigrants who hoped to reach the shores of America to find freedom from oppression. He has been quoted as saying "a nation without borders is not really a nation." On the other hand some have credited Reagan with the concept that America might serve as a beacon for legal immigrants who could add to America's prosperity. Perhaps Reagan's concept of America seems a bit innocent today, when huge numbers of illegal immigrants threaten American workers and, in this age of covert terrorism, perhaps the very lives of American citizens.
Reagan was also instrumental in bringing down the Iron Curtain. The escape from Soviet Communism and the quest for freedom is the theme of 'Quest For Freedom'. Set in the Cold War era, the book is the engaging story of Adriana Corderu and her quest to obtain freedom by escaping the Iron Curtain.
Palladino writes inspirational fiction for young people. He teaches, through his works of fiction, important ideals and values. As a former U.S. Army Ranger, former High School Phys-Ed & Health Teacher and Coach, and founder of “Palladino Martial Arts”, he understands the significance of instilling these all-important ideals and values in young people. The book will appeal to parents, grandparents and educators.
Politics aside, a vast number of Americans believe that America has lost its way. The success of Donald Trump, whose political rallying call is "Make America Great Again", plays directly into this theme. It strikes a chord with a huge number of American citizens who are old enough to remember what America used to be. Palladino deftly paints a picture of America as she really was. He shows us clearly why American freedom and American values held such appeal for many oppressed people in other parts of the world.
During the first Cold War the world revolved around the conflict between the theologies of communism and democracy. The two main protagonists in this conflict were the United States in the West and the Soviet Union in the East. As Eastern Bloc leaders began to tighten restrictions in the lives of their people, commensurate with their increase in power, there began to emerge, in the East, a group of young people, hard and idealistic, adventurous and courageous. These would become the heroes of the movement of their time. These were the brave young souls who, with inspiration from President Reagan, began to break down the Iron Curtain.
'Quest for Freedom' has received rave reviews. One reviewer stated, "More native born Americans need to know this story and more importantly appreciate our country as she did." Another said, "The readers become engrossed immediately in Palladino's dynamic effervescent style."

Award Winning Children's Book Author Deanie Humphrys-Dunne Offers Real Hope To Kids With Cerebral Palsy
Deanie Humphrys-Dunne writes captivating books that teach children valuable life lessons about tenacity and overcoming obstacles. She uses animal stories to help kids overcome challenges
Award winning children's book author Deanie Humphrys-Dunne's personal life underlies the message she presents in her inspirational children's books. Based on her own life, 'Tails of Sweetbrier' is a true story of a little girl who dreams of becoming a champion horseback rider. But this child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. The doctors say she will never be able to walk.
"I was born with cerebral palsy," Deanie stated in a recent article. "It only affects my legs, so I'm blessed in that regard. One of the most amazing benefits I had was my parents' philosophy. They constantly reassured me that I could do anything. Admittedly, certain things would take longer, but they never dwelled on my limitations. This gave me a healthy outlook and the confidence to strive to reach my goals, no matter how lofty. In our family, giving up was never an option. We were taught perseverance is the key to success."
"This morning I read an article by the parent of a child with cerebral palsy. The author mentioned how "Frustrating" it was for her raising a child with physical limitations. Her child has “mild cerebral palsy” and struggles with simple tasks requiring coordination. I can certainly relate to that opinion. But I'd choose to encourage my child to set goals and work toward them. I'd advise him/her to search for what they love and pursue it. In my experience, it's amazing what you can accomplish if you try."
Deanie has won numerous awards for her books. She was recently chosen as one of '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' for her story about the creation of 'Tails Of Sweetbrier'. 'Tails Of Sweetbrier' also received honorable mention in the Young Adult Nonfiction category of the Purple Dragonfly Book Awards. The book took the Silver Medal in the Feathered Quill Book Awards in the Juvenile/YA Nonfiction category in 2014 and it was one of five finalists in the CLIPPA Awards in the 3rd - 4th Grade category. Deanie recently received the Dragon's Loyalty Blogging award from author/ illustrator, JD Holiday. She also appeared on Holiday's radio show on Blog Talk Radio.
"I constantly try to impress upon children a single message - 'Never give up on your dreams'. No one knows what you can do. The last line of Tails of Sweetbrier is, 'You have the power to make your dreams come true so reach for them and don’t accept anything less.”
Deanie believes the message that perseverance is the key to accomplishing amazing things is one that can benefit every child. Through her inspiring, real life and fictional works, children will learn that anything is possible if they refuse to give up on their dreams. Through her works, children are reminded that tenacity is the key to success. They will see proof that obstacles can be overcome and that quitting only guarantees failure.
Other books written by Deanie include ‘Charlene The Star’, ‘Charlene The Star And Hattie's Heroes’, ‘Charlie The Horse’ and 'Charlene The Star And Bentley Bulldog.’

Immigration, Deportation And Democracy - Inspirational Book, 'Quest For Freedom' Takes Readers Back To Cold War Era
David Michael Palladino writes inspirational fiction for young readers. His works teach important ideals and values. He utilizes engaging works of fiction to accomplish that goal
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev recently said East-West relations were descending into a "new Cold War". This may be true. However, the world was a much simpler place during the original Cold War era. In those days, immigration served a different purpose.
Today, immigration is a hotly contested topic. Many people are immigrating to escape the horrors of war, oppression, turmoil, and poverty. Modern day terrorists see this as cover; an opportunity to move operatives into foreign countries. However, during the original Cold War, many people left oppressive regimes behind to find freedom. That quest is the subject of David Michael Palladino's latest inspirational book, 'Quest For Freedom'.
Escape from Soviet Communism and the quest for freedom is the theme of 'Quest For Freedom'. Set in the first Cold War era, it is the story of the beautiful Romanian, Adriana Corderu, and her quest to obtain freedom by escaping the Iron Curtain.
Palladino produces inspirational fiction for young readers. His works teach important ideals and values. As a former U.S. Army Ranger, former High School Phys-Ed & Health Teacher and Coach, and founder of “Palladino Martial Arts”, he understands the significance of instilling these all-important ideals and values in young people. He utilizes engaging works of fiction as the backdrop to accomplish that goal. This work will be especially appealing to parents, grandparents and educators. It is still very pertinent today in light of the world situation.
During the first Cold War the world revolved around the conflict between the theologies of communism and democracy. The two main protagonists in this conflict were the United States in the West and the Soviet Union in the East. As Eastern Bloc leaders began to tighten restrictions in the lives of their people, commensurate with their increase in power, there began to emerge, in the East, a group of young people, hard and idealistic, adventurous and courageous. These would become the heroes of the movement of their time. These were the brave young souls who, with inspiration from President Reagan, began to break down the Iron Curtain.
"This is the story of a brave young spirit who with inspiration from the great American President helped to inflict the first substantial cracks in the wall commonly known as the Iron Curtain," Palladino stated." Readers will be able to live the story of Adriana Corderu and her quest for freedom. Once readers experience the world through the life of Adriana Corderu, it will never seem the same."
'Quest for Freedom' has received rave reviews. One reviewer stated, "More native born Americans need to know this story and more importantly appreciate our country as she did." Another said, "The readers become engrossed immediately in Palladino's dynamic effervescent style."

The Secret Behind 'The Secret' - Author Reba Linker's Inspirational Book For Women, 'The Little Book Of Manifesting Big', Now Available In Print For The Holiday Season
Linker's latest inspirational book offers universal techniques, learned from a true spiritual master, expressed with clarity, humor and wisdom, that produce results without all the empty promises. The book makes an ideal Christmas gift
Author Reba Linker has announced that her latest inspirational book for women, 'The Little Book Of Manifesting Big' is now available in print. To celebrate, she is offering a no-charge PDF download of the book from her website.
The secret behind 'The Secret' is simple, but not easy. Humans are complex beings. That complexity can often alter the course of our manifestations. Reba believes that the power to create, to manifest, is a gift - a part of what we are as humans. Like any natural gift, the gift of manifesting needs to be honed and nurtured for it to reach its full potential. And, like any powerful tool, it needs to be used well and wisely to gain the best results.
"The trouble with books like ‘The Secret’ and others of their ilk," Linker stated, "is that they make it sound one-dimensional: all you need to do is think: 'I am wealthy' to manifest wealth, or 'I am healthy' to manifest health, or 'I am in a fabulous relationship' to manifest a love relationship. It can be that simple, when all channels are clear and all systems are ‘go’ (in my book I tell the story of how I manifested an extra $10,000 in the first week of my class on manifesting – so it definitely can happen that way). But for many potential students of manifesting, this over-simplification becomes a terribly discouraging model: as soon as an obstacle may arise, they may simply give up, thinking: 'I just don’t have the gift.’ Well you DO have the gift, we all do."
'The Little Book Of Manifesting Big' contains universal techniques, learned from a true spiritual master. An author and Life Coach, Reba Linker puts forth the timeless message that it is of utmost importance to 'trust yourself, know yourself and love yourself'. The book is the foundation for Reba’s new course, 'The Little Course of Manifesting Big'.
As the author of a number of inspiring books, Reba believes that every moment of every day we affirm our reality, for better or for worse. All day, all the time, our words and thoughts and beliefs create the picture of our lives, whether we are aware of it or not. Our lives, truly, are perfect reflections of our minds. 'The Little Book of Manifesting Big' gives readers the tools to practice conscious, deliberate manifesting.
This latest inspirational book for women has received rave reviews. Readers have stated:
“If you thought you knew everything there is to know about manifesting, think again. In this, short, sweet, powerful book Reba unleashes some gems you don’t want to miss."
“The Little Book of Manifesting Big takes on a huge topic and makes it simple, manageable and doable. In it, Reba Linker shows how we truly do create our own reality!”
“I loved loved loved it…I felt as though I were hearing these words from a good friend.”
“My wish is for all the people who read your book will not just read it but apply it in their life…"
Reba Linker is the author of Amazon Kindle bestsellers 'Follow the Yarn' and 'Imagine Self-Love,' both available on Amazon. Her children’s book, 'The Compost Heroes: A (Mostly) True Fable for Modern Times', was endorsed by folksinger Pete Seeger, and is available only through her website at http://rebalinker.com/books/.
The no-charge pdf version of 'The Little Book of Manifesting Big' is available at her website at http://rebalinker.com/little-book-manifesting-big-offer for those who wish to view the work before making a Holiday purchase.
Reba Linker is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at reba@rebalinker.com. 'The Little Book of Manifesting Big', is available at Amazon.com and wherever books are sold online. More information is available at her website at http://www.RebaLinker.com.

Linker's previous professional experience includes arts management and dance instruction, including owning and operating a large dance studio in New York City.

Laughter Heals - 'Tales2Inspire' Releases New Inspirational Book In Series - 'Tales2Inspire, The Crystal Collection'
'Tales2Inspire' is an ongoing series of books filled with inspiring and motivational stories compiled by Lois W. Stern
Author Lois W. Stern has announced the release of 'Tales2Inspire - The Crystal Collection'. The new inspirational book is a departure from previous works in the series, as it is filled with humorous, true stories.
"After publishing four 'Tales2Inspire' books of heartwarming, inspiring stories, I felt we were all ready for a change of pace," Stern stated. "Why humor? How does humor inspire us? Simply by lifting our spirits and transporting us from the here and now to several moments of pure amusement. In the words of Josh Billings, 'Laughter is the sensation of feeling good all over and showing it principally in one place'. Bravo to the authors of the stories in this Crystal Collection - all winners in the 'Tales2Inspire' annual ‘Authors Helping Authors’ contest.
Unlike the inspiring stories of her earlier ‘Tales2Inspire’ collections, which Stern explained “touched the heart of most every reader”, she soon discovered the challenges of collecting humorous stories. “What tickled one person’s funny bone, left another one flat. What struck one person as hysterical, struck the next as a shaggy dog story.”
“When we consider some of today’s most popular comic personalities, we realize there is no ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to humor. Amy Schumer has received considerable praise for the subversive feminism of her comedy, while cleverly addressing various social issues. Steve Colbert, who last month succeeded David Letterman as the host of The Late Show, brings roars of laughter for his caricatured version of conservative political pundits. Although both these personalities have enormously high ratings, other segments of the population are turned off by their brand of humor. I wanted the Crystal Collection stories to be more gentle in there approach to humor, with slice of life stories and true life episodes to which most everyone could relate.”
Cover'Tales2Inspire' is a growing collection of anthologies of varied themes, compiled by author Lois W. Stern. Stern has authored some of these stories herself, because she loves to write, but most of them come from winners of her annual ‘Tales2Inspire’ contest. Each of the inspirational stories, including those submitted by Stern herself, is judged anonymously by a peer group to determine eligibility for publication. There are no fees to submit for consideration, and winning authors receive many no-charge platform-building opportunities.
"I don’t like using the word ‘unique’ says Stern, “but Tales2Inspire is truly unlike any other writer’s contest. First, there is no submission fee. Then, even after the awards are announced, I continue to work with the author of a ‘tale’ which shows exceptional promise. I do not charge for any of these services because I am committed to the ideal of 'Authors Helping Authors'. Of course there is something in it for me too as I get first rights to publication of each winning ‘tale’."
The benefits of being a contributing author to 'Tales2Inspire' include, but are not limited to:
* Author's story published in a respected book collection
* Author’s headshot photo and mini-biography published inside the book
* Name listed on Amazon.com as a contributing author
* Story featured and promoted as the inspiring story of the week on the Tales2Inspire website.
* Story highlighted with an introductory video trailer on our YouTube Winning Tales Channel
* Story featured on the Tales2Inspire Facebook page, selected LinkedIn, Pinterest, Twitter and other social media groups
* Story featured in the Inspiring Stories monthly newsletter, distributed to hundreds of subscribers, on a rotating basis throughout the years.
* Opportunities for free and low cost promotions on the Tales2Inspire Spotlight page, the YouTube Winning Tales Channel, media releases, personal bookmarks to match author’s story, and much more.
* Discounted prices for bulk orders of ten or more books, mix or match titles.
Full details about Stern’s annual contests, the books in the 'Tales2Inspire' series, and the authors and their stories are available on the 'Tales2Inspire' website at http://www.Tales2Inspire.com.
Lois W. Stern is available for media interviews and multi-media presentations and can be reached using the information below or by email at tales2inspire@optimum.net. All of the books in the series are available at Amazon and other online retailers.
Profile:
After twenty years as an active educator, Lois W. Stern continued to pursue her love for writing, and soon became co-editor of the then popular Long Island web-zine, LI EYE. As she created and authored the column ‘Ordinary People, Extraordinary Lives’, she solidified her special niche as an investigative journalist. She has put those same talents to work in creating the ‘Tales2Inspire ’“Authors Helping Authors” project/contest and working to encourage and nurture the skills of each of her participating authors. Since she initiated this project in 2012, Lois has published five Tales2Inspire books: 'The Emerald Collection' ("Beyond Coincidence" stories), 'The Topaz Collection' (Stories of "Awakenings & Aha Moments") 'The Sapphire Collection' (Stories that "Echo in the Mind") the 'Ruby Collection' ("Gifts of Compassion" Stories) and her newest book, ‘Tales2Inspire - The Crystal Collection' (Stories that Tickle the Funny Bone), reminding us that humor is also a great anecdote for uplifting one’s mood and replenishing the soul.
Lois is available for interviews and presentations. A sought after speaker, she holds her audiences in rapt attention with multi-media presentations of her winning stories.

Cover'Tales2Inspire' is a growing collection of anthologies of varied themes, compiled by author Lois W. Stern. Stern has authored some of these stories herself, because she loves to write, but most of them come from winners of her annual ‘Tales2Inspire’ contest. Each of the inspirational stories, including those submitted by Stern herself, is judged anonymously by a peer group to determine eligibility for publication. There are no fees to submit for consideration, and winning authors receive many no-charge platform-building opportunities.
"I don’t like using the word ‘unique’ says Stern, “but Tales2Inspire is truly unlike any other writer’s contest. First, there is no submission fee. Then, even after the awards are announced, I continue to work with the author of a ‘tale’ which shows exceptional promise. I do not charge for any of these services because I am committed to the ideal of 'Authors Helping Authors'. Of course there is something in it for me too as I get first rights to publication of each winning ‘tale’."
The benefits of being a contributing author to 'Tales2Inspire' include, but are not limited to:
* Author's story published in a respected book collection
* Author’s headshot photo and mini-biography published inside the book
* Name listed on Amazon.com as a contributing author
* Story featured and promoted as the inspiring story of the week on the Tales2Inspire website.
* Story highlighted with an introductory video trailer on our YouTube Winning Tales Channel
* Story featured on the Tales2Inspire Facebook page, selected LinkedIn, Pinterest, Twitter and other social media groups
* Story featured in the Inspiring Stories monthly newsletter, distributed to hundreds of subscribers, on a rotating basis throughout the years.
* Opportunities for free and low cost promotions on the Tales2Inspire Spotlight page, the YouTube Winning Tales Channel, media releases, personal bookmarks to match author’s story, and much more.
* Discounted prices for bulk orders of ten or more books, mix or match titles.
Full details about Stern’s annual contests, the books in the 'Tales2Inspire' series, and the authors and their stories are available on the 'Tales2Inspire' website at http://www.Tales2Inspire.com.

How To Find Inner Peace - Award Winning Author Grace Mattioli Offers Insight In 'Olive Branches Don't Grow On Trees'
Grace Mattioli delivers insight through story. She writes engaging and moving tales that combine the insight and inspiration of 'The Alchemist' with the humor and quirkiness of 'A Confederacy of Dunces'
To achieve the state of inner peace is the capstone of the human self actualization pyramid. Inner peace is what we seek, regardless of the myriad forms that search may take. All of our other goals - love, status, satisfaction, achievements are, at the very core, nothing more than the quest for inner peace masquerading as something else. Inner peace is of utmost importance as, without it, nothing else we achieve will mean much at all.
Achieving the state of peace on a personal level is the key to living a rewarding and fulfilled life. The number of paths to that state peace are endless - as varied as the number of souls on the planet. But how can we define inner peace? And how do we achieve it?
Award-winning author Grace Mattioli's 'Olive Branches Don’t Grow On Trees' is a wildly entertaining story about finding the path to peace. Imagine you are asked to plan a gathering for a feuding family of six that has not been gathered together in over six years. Add to this the fact that the parents of this family are newly separated and that your own life is falling apart. This is the challenge that befalls 23 year old Silvia Greco when she is drafted into helping her mother plan a party for her younger brother’s high school graduation. She takes it on, and in doing so, must negotiate with each member of her family, appealing to their individual needs and interests, in order to get them to go. Through this process, she learns that peace is not something that is easily achieved or freely existing. It is something that needs to be created, cultivated and nurtured. In other words, she learns that “olive branches don’t grow on trees.”
The father, Frank, works as a judge in a local courthouse, and spends his spare time drinking, cooking food that no one eats and maintaining the most perfectly manicured yard in town. The mother, Donna, is a college professor, and is giving single life a go after spending almost all of her adult life with Frank. Angie, the eldest child, married rich and devastated her father by moving from South Jersey to North Jersey, which as far as Frank is concerned, might as well be another planet. Silvia’s older brother, Cosmo, is brilliant and great at everything he does, but is also a classic underachiever. Her younger brother, Vince, is bursting with energy and is on his way to save the world. And then there is Silvia: Energetic, idealistic, and young, striving to bring her family together, while also struggling to settle down and find a career in which she may utilize her artistic talents. She is extremely independent as she can drive across the country and move from place to place alone. She is highly adaptable and does whatever she has to do to get by, whether that be working as a nude model for art schools or a candy store manager at a mall. Last but not least is Grandma Tucci, whom Silvia loves fiercely. She has passed away years ago, but remains with Silvia in spirit, almost as if guiding her through her adventures in the lessons of life, love, and peace.
"I really wanted to write a story about peace as I’m very passionate about this subject," Mattioli stated. "I believe that peace begins at home, so a family story was the perfect genre. I created a dysfunctional, contentious family that had not been together in several years so that the protagonist would have an especially difficult time of achieving her goal of reuniting them.”
While this book addresses such serious issues as alcoholism and offers insight on such topics as forgiveness, it is very humorous and entertaining. As one reviewer wrote: "The author weaves a tale that is a moving and realistic portrayal of a dysfunctional family with enough drama and humorous family situations that will keep the reader engaged and entertained, while providing a witty sense of humor and subtle messages of life lessons to extend the olive branch and learn to live, love and forgive."
In her realistic fiction books, Mattioli paints pictures with words. Her works are filled with vivid descriptions and her characters are extremely dimensional and unforgettable. While her books center around serious issues such as family relations, death and addiction, they are very humorous and fun; readers will be entertained as they gain valuable insights that they can take with them long after they have finished the last page.
Grace Mattioli has won numerous awards. She was chosen as one of '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' in 2015. 'Olive Branches Don't Grow On Trees' was named as one of the 'Best Of 2012' by Suspense Magazine.

Her contemporary fiction books are available at Powell’s, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo and iTunes. More information on all of her work is available at her website at http://www.gracemattioli.com.
