Mailman writes about his amazing travel adventures to encourage seekers of true freedom to follow their hearts and change their realities. The new book hit #1 Hot New Release in SE Asia Travel and is the second book in the Experiencer Series.

Author Benny Mailman has announced that the second book in the Experiencer Series, Finding 42, Searcher Of Soul Keys, will be available in ebook format at no charge from February 9 through February 11, 2022.

Book 2, Finding 42: Searcher of Soul Keys, hit #1 Hot New Release in SE Asia Travel. In this book, Benny takes readers with him for every step of his ongoing journey, starting with a trek into western China. There, he enjoys a soul-stirring visit with an elderly herbalist once featured in National Geographic and known around the world as a beloved practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. On that same day Benny was invited into a humble home and offered to partake in a snack of potatoes and tea, where there was a sticky gum situation. Later in the shadow of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Benny rode on a horse, where the older guide broke into ancient verse as the wind howled like an angry wolf. This was one day! Magic swirls through the chapters. Soul keys were clanging in his pocket.

From China, it’s off to Vietnam, where former Marine Benny has to get verbally tough with some hothead bullies aboard what’s supposed to be a peaceful cruise in Ha Long Bay. Spurred on by Benny’s grit, the crew escorts the bullies off the ship the next morning. Benny encounters the Universe speaking to him in threads through eye contact, realizations and magical moments. He also creates a mud tsunami on a rented scooter, deep in the jungle foliage of Nha Trang, with a soft-voiced passenger on the back. Here Benny's heartstrings are strongly strummed by the Universe, both by Love and evil news from his home country. Soul keys were being collected and stored.

After Vietnam, Benny’s adventure takes him into Cambodia, where he experiences the horror of the Killing Fields, as well as the energy-packed temples of Angkor Wat—a UNESCO World Heritage Site that quickly etches itself onto the glass window of Benny’s soul. Benny takes a couple of days to teach the youth of Cambodia in a straw hut deep in the countryside of Siem Reap province. Benny meets up with fellow travelers from Vietnam unexpectedly, and also celebrates his birthday and a Packer playoff victory. He then has a "Luxury Bus" incident that calls in the energies of Hunter S. Thompson, indulging in a day of debauchery in Phnom Penh.

Riding the energy wave, Benny heads into Laos, soon finding himself kayaking the Mekong River while on the lookout for a rare sighting of the freshwater dolphins there. Later in Laos, Benny befriends an elephant, taking a bareback ride across a river atop the gentle giant. There is a crazy accidental - cave adventure, a past life meeting, a monkey saving story, and another scooter adventure deep into the jungles of a Buddhist country.

Not long after that, Benny crosses another river, this time by boat—right into Thailand and the city of Chiang Mai, the last stop for Book 2 … but not before the crazy pace of the place has Benny’s previously peaceful spirit wanting him to sprint back to Laos. But he rolls with, because every spot has an energy of its own to discover and embrace.

In all of his books, Benny brings readers along as not just observers, but as fellow travelers. In his heart, anyone who reads this series is instantly his friend. His hope is that it stirs the magic within us, to join him and change our reality into that of our desires and wishes.

In Book 1 of the Experiencers Series, Finding 42: Cut The Rope, Benny Mailman details the spiritual awakening of a Marine veteran who traveled the world in search of true freedom. Finding 42, at its core, is an amazing adventure series. Book 1 begins with the author leaving the familiar, New York City, and flying into the unfamiliar, Moscow, Russia. Finding 42: Cut The Rope is a letting go of the known and often forced reality. It is about a man setting out to prove that a better reality was there for the creating. Within the journey, spiritual growth flourishes and an ancient knowledge is renewed in the strength, kindness, and beauty of the human spirit.

Readers have given him rave reviews. One stated, ". . . A trip of a lifetime, the friendships/memories made, the places visited, will make you wish you had traveled with him." Another said, ". . . This book was a real breath of fresh air. It was pure joy reading it and remembering it. I look forward to Benny's next book and all the fun, wonders and delights it will bring."

Bestselling Spiritual Adventure Travel Book, Finding 42, Is The Story Of A Wisconsin Marine Veteran Who Traveled A New Path To Find True Freedom

An awesome travel experience, combined with a powerful spiritual awakening, results in a spectacular piece of writing that will encourage readers to follow their hearts and change their realities.

Bestselling author and Wisconsin native Benny Mailman lives a life of which most of us can only dream. He did not achieve this through happenstance or luck. Instead, he consciously built it, step by step, during a journey that took him halfway around the globe. While many of us are content to sit in our chairs and wish for the chance to travel the world, Mailman took action. The first part of his ongoing journey is detailed in his bestselling book, Finding 42.

Benny Mailman served with 10th Marines at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina before finishing his last two and a half years in Okinawa, Japan. While with the recon unit in Okinawa Benny had visited South Korea, the Philippines, and was even in mainland Japan, in Misawa. After his honorable discharge, he graduated from the University of Wisconsin La Crosse, majoring in Communications and minoring in public relations.

In the year 2000, Benny found himself pursuing a life in comedy in Las Vegas, Nevada. He took up classes with Second City Improv. Benny rode the Bike Taxi to make money for his dream pursuing. Eventually Benny ended up in New York City. Here he honed his comedic stand-up act before moving to Los Angeles. After a couple of tough years in LA, Benny fell in love with Denver, Colorado and moved there. It was in Denver that Benny decided to set out on his journey.

Finding 42, at its core, is an amazing adventure series. Book 1, Cut the Rope, begins with the author leaving the familiar, New York City, and flying into the unfamiliar, Moscow, Russia.

Finding 42 is a letting go of the known and often forced reality. It is about a man setting out to prove that a better reality was there for the creating. Within the journey, spiritual growth flourishes and an ancient knowledge is renewed in the strength, kindness, and beauty of the human spirit.

Book 1 is filled with stories and soulful connections with fellow travelers and locals alike. There is the story of Fire Horse in Mongolia, Tom Waits and Starbucks in Moscow, life aboard the Trans-Siberian Railroad, the Great Wall, and even a magical event in Luoyang, China. Fasten your seat belts, as it is all true.

Benny writes about his amazing travel adventures to encourage seekers of true freedom to follow their hearts and change their realities. In doing so, they will witness the deep connections we have to all humans, animals, and the earth. They will find Love.

In every village, city, and country, Benny high-fives, shares music, and exchanges smiles with people of all ages, cultures, ethnicities, and religions. He exchanges Love.

In November of 2018 Benny was visiting the US trying to find a publisher for his first book in the series. On a cool morning in La Crosse, Wisconsin he went for a walk in Riverside Park, which is flanked by the Mississippi River. He walked through the beautiful garden area where plaques mention sister cities of La Crosse around the world. Benny heard the Universe speak when he saw that Luoyang, China is a sister city to his beloved La Crosse. "It's all connected, we are all connected", Benny said out loud to himself.

In 'Finding 42’, Benny brings readers along as not just observers, but as fellow travelers. In his heart, anyone who reads this series is instantly his friend. His hope is that it stirs the magic within us, to join him and change our reality into that of our desires and wishes.

In The Tradition Of Brokaw's The Greatest Generation, Award Winning Author Bernard Fleury Presents Another American Hero In His New Biography, A Bee In His Bonnet

Fleury's book presents the story of Frank King, the man who captured the Bin Laden of his day. The book can serve as a valuable resource for collectors of WWI memorabilia. It features original photos and revealing information on the Spanish-American war and The Philippine Insurrection.

One of the most-loved books in recent memory, 'The Greatest Generation' by Tom Brokaw, gave us a penetrating look at World War II America. Award winning author Bernard Fleury believes there is another story that begs to be told. He presents a compelling and and engaging version of this story in 'A Bee In His Bonnet'.

'A Bee in His Bonnet' is an action packed, creative non-fiction biography. The book offers readers a look into the life of an American soldier, Frank King, Fleury’s grandfather, who came to America in 1898 and stayed to become a career army man, profuse diarist, and world traveler. He fought in wars that few of us know, but whose repercussions are still felt today: The Spanish-American War, The Philippine Insurrection, and World War I. King’s Company G, Eighth Infantry, was involved in the earliest documented anti-terrorist campaigns in The Philippine Insurrection.

King was present for the capture of Aguinaldo, and during his second tour there was personally instrumental in the capture of the Bin Laden of his day, Faustino Ablen. He served in the famous Third Division in World War I. He was officially cited twice for his heroism and the part he played in the famous battles at Champagne-Marne, St. Mihiel, Meuse-Argonne, and Chateau Thiery, under General John Pershing who attended Frank’s retirement, personally presenting his retirement papers.

There are 28 original photos in the book including the photo of Faustino Ablen when captured. This photo was sent to the author by a Filipino professor who discovered it in a closed library once operated by Franciscan Friars. The photos cover 98 years from 1860 to 1958 in the Frank King story. They are an old photos collector's treasure.

“Frank was officially cited twice during the Marne Offensive in World War I from July 14 -18,1918,” Fleury stated:

'King, Frank,Battalion Sergeant Major, 544360. This soldier on the night of July 14,1918, while escorting the runner of the Second Battalion to an advance P.C. on the Marne displayed great skill and presence of mind.....While in charge of Liaison of Headquarters Company Second Battalion, Thirtieth Infantry, displayed great courage and resourcefulness throughout the preparatory fire of the Champagne-Marne Defensive, July 15-18, 1918, in the Bois d'Aigremont, near Crezancy, France,....He stayed at his post through the bombardment and although gassed, assisted and directed others in their various duties. He refused to be evacuated until the regiment was relieved.'

“The doctor told him that due to the damage done to his lungs that he would only live 10 to 15 years more, but he actually lived 40 more years!

“His heroism was never more evident than it was from September 11-December 25, 1958 while in the Nursing home suffering from throat cancer. He chose to die rather than have a tube in his throat and be unable to speak for the rest of his life. Severe pain required that he be heavily drugged so he was in and out of consciousness and unable to speak for the last month of his life but his bright blue eyes spoke volumes. On Christmas day the doctor told us he would die that day so we stayed with him the entire day. As night fell, the nurse told us it looked like he would make it until the next day so we went home. He grasped tightly the crucifix hanging on the rail of his bed. While his roommate was out of the room, he closed his tired eyes forever. The victory had been won and he had gone to claim the everlasting reward, the reward of those who are honest and faithful.”

Readers and reviewers have praised 'A Bee In His Bonnet'.

Sefina Hawke said, “A Bee in His Bonnet by Bernard J. Fleury is a well written biography that offers a unique perspective. The author uses old photos with captions and that really helped me to feel a connection with the people featured in this book. It allowed me to have a clear image in my head of what they actually looked like instead of having to rely purely on my imagination. I particularly liked learning about Frank King's part in the capture of Faustino Ablen. As I read this book, I found myself becoming interested in learning more about some of the wars Frank King fought in so that I could truly understand more about the role that he played in them as an individual soldier."

Arya Fomonyuy said, "This action-packed nonfiction story pulls the reader into the climates of war and makes them experience what it felt like to be at the front line. Told from the unique perspective of the soldier, the story is filled with relevant historical references and moments, a tale of courage and bravery in the face of war. The reader is transported to different historical places to experience some of the most grueling and intensive actions in war. The author captures very interesting historical details and enables readers to understand world politics and conflict from the point of view of someone who was actively and personally involved. The writing in A Bee in His Bonnet is beautiful and Bernard J. Fleury's literary skill and charm keep readers engaged. This is a tale of family, of war, of travel, and one man's dedication to his country."

Kimberly J. Benart stated, "A Bee in His Bonnet is the kind of book you don't want to put down once you start reading it. The word 'adventure' hardly captures the full breadth and scale of Dr. Fleury's treatment of his grandfather's life. The narrative and dialog keep the pace moving at a clip, while now and then there is a slight pause to remind the reader of the historical setting. I cried at the end, as I believe any reader would. This is a magnificent tribute by a grandson to his grandfather, just as Frank King's life stands as a magnificent tribute to the caliber of man that he was."

Bernard Fleury's books have received a large number of 5-star rated reviews. He was chosen as one of ‘50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’ in the 2017 Book Awards. That honor came as a result of his appearance on The Authors Show. He was chosen from a field of hundreds of authors through a public voting process.
