Canadian Indie Romantic Fiction Author Rusty Blackwood Releases New Romance Novel "Passions In Paris" To Enthusiastic Reviews

Canadian romantic fiction author Rusty Blackwood's new romance novel is written in the tradition of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and 'What Dreams May Come'. Recent reviewers have compared it to Erich Segal's 'Love Story' and Nicholas Sparks' 'The Notebook'. The novel presents an intense story of soul mates whose love spans lifetimes

Canadian Indie author Rusty Blackwood has released 'Passions In Paris: Revelations Of A Lost Diary'. The new romantic fiction novel, written in the tradition of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and 'What Dreams May Come' has been compared to Erich Segal's 'Love Story' and Nicholas Sparks' 'The Notebook'. The novel has also received positive reviews from Reader's Favorite reviewers.

"To have my 'Passions in Paris: Revelations of a Lost Diary' compared to the brilliance of Erich Segal's 'Love Story', and Nicholas Sparks' 'The Notebook', is both a humbling experience, and an exhilarating honor," said Blackwood, in acknowledgement of garnering recent comparison of her newest title to these two literary masterpieces in romantic fiction.

In the new novel the city of Paris, one of the most romantic places in the world, sets the scene for what could be one of the best romance novels to come along in ages. The book is peppered with drama, intrigue, deception, adultery and jealousy alike. The fictional romance centers on star-crossed lovers Joy Wychmere and Cullen Malone. A diary, lost for almost half a century, opens a door to the past and one fateful evening changes two lives forever.

Reader Fred Pifer stated the book, "is a fascinating book of a love story that seemed to be written with me in mind. In the book 'Love Story' by Erich Segal, he told of a deep abiding love story that reminds me of Cullen and Joy’s in Ms. Blackwood’s book, but the twists of intrigue and mystery that she adds keeps the reader on edge throughout."

Linkk Kulakane said, "Passions in Paris I think stands it ground with these other powerful romantic stories like 'The Notebook' by Nicolas Sparks. A long kindled love, which finds its place from a romantic spark in the mind of one, to a mounting real life experience between two different worlds, brought together by an on going weave of circumstances, doubts, mystery, and intrigue, that sets ablaze forbidden emotions on a roller coaster ride of endless desire, and surmounting obstacles, that test the strength of their determination to prevail. Miss Blackwood has a rare talent to bring this and more into the minds and hearts of those who have had the privilege to be transported into her wonderful world of story telling."

Other reviewers have praised the new work. Reviewer Cat Howard said, "Eternal love, finding your true soul mate, and how echoes from past lives can influence the present, this story has it all . . . " Another Reader's Favorite reviewer stated, "Enjoyable and exciting, this is a book for people who have romance flowing in their veins."

'Passions In Paris: Revelations Of A Lost Diary' is now available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

Terry Allan Christian’s Latest Book, ‘What Did Jesus Say’ Helps Lead Christians Back To True Christian Values

Rev. Terry Allan Christian sees four real problems with Christianity today. He believes many Christian leaders have lost the focus of the True Message of Christ. He hopes to re-establish believers' personal relationship with Jesus Christ through his new book, ‘What Did Jesus Say: The Seven Messages from the Master'

Rev. Terry Allan Christian’s singular mission is to reestablish true Christian values in the most powerful way – by presenting only the words actually spoken by Jesus Christ. In his ministry and in his message, there is no place for politics, personal opinions or interpretations carefully crafted to increase contributions. ‘What Did Jesus Say: The Seven Messages From The Master’, focuses solely on the words spoken by Jesus and nothing more.

Reverend Christian believes many pastors, evangelists and others have lost the focus and the passion of the True Message of Jesus and lead followers in directions never intended by Jesus.  ‘What Did Jesus Say’ serves as a beginning to the return to what Jesus really intended. In a recent public statement he clearly identified four primary issues that take away from the core message of true Christianity.

1. Mega Prosperity “personality driven” preachers who are too big to fail.

2. Preachers bickering among themselves and attacking each other without the love to help one another.

 3. Evangelists / Preachers who make it sound so easy to be "born again".

4. Non-Practicing Christians - Those who embarrass Christianity by their false confessions and dishonest behavior, while professing to be a Christian.

“As a boy,” stated Reverend Christian, “I was raised on Oral Roberts, Jimmy Swaggart and the great Billy Graham. Then as I got older, I remember watching Richard Roberts, Robert Schuller, Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn and Jim Bakker and now, at 61, I am watching Paul Crouch, Paula White, Joyce Meyers, Creflow Dollar, TD Jakes, Mike Murdock and Joel Osteen.”

“Now,” he continued, “what do these preachers all have in common? Outside of Billy Graham, they all lived or live multi-million dollar lavish lifestyles as favored Christian Kings and Queens in America, all the while claiming to ‘need your money’ to help them feed and clothe the needy worldwide. Is this the message Jesus taught? Are they not aware of the public embarrassment this ‘type of hype’ brings to Christianity? Is this the true message of Jesus?

Reverend Christian’s latest book, 'What Did Jesus Say: The Seven Messages from the Master', organizes the teachings of Jesus in a special format, using only the words spoken by Jesus and nothing more. The book puts readers into an imagined walk with Jesus on the beach, allowing readers to hear over 500 passages spoken by Him.

Featuring the "best of the best" of what Jesus said, the new book is one of a kind. The scriptures, stripped of everything save for the words spoken directly by Jesus, have been reordered and organized into seven primary messages. At the bottom of each page are reference notes to find the chapter and verse from which the sayings are drawn in the Bible. The book is perfect for individual daily devotional, Bible study groups or spiritual retreats. It is appropriate for all Christians - the young, the old, the new believers and the life-long followers of Jesus Christ who really want to know specifically what Jesus said regarding these topics.

Terry Allan Christian is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at rev.christian@me.com. ‘What Did Jesus Say: The Seven Messages from the Master’ is available in print, ebook and audiobook formats and can be ordered at any bookstore or at the website. More information, including a preview of the book, is available at the website at http://www.WDJSBook.com.

About Rev. Terry Allan Christian:

Since dedicating his life to Jesus, Terry has constantly studied the red lettered version of the Gospels as recorded in the NKJB, always concentrating on the words of Jesus and the example of His actions. His acceptance of Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior has been pivotal in carrying him through all his life challenges.

He developed a severe stuttering problem while growing up in a violently dysfunctional family, causing him to drop out of high school at the age of 16 and leave home with little hope for success in life. Terry’s world changed forever when, at age 23, the Holy Spirit spoke to him in a life-altering vision. In this vision, he was told that one day he would be a teacher of Christian principles. At the time, he stuttered so badly he was embarrassed to talk with anyone. Immediately following this vision, God miraculously healed his stuttering. He was also blessed to meet a man who taught him how to read a book a day and he began to study the best books ever written on the subject of personal development.

Since his studies began over 30 years ago, he has met and worked with some of the greatest thinkers and Motivational Speakers in modern-day America. He became a motivational speaker and corporate trainer himself, and taught over 2500 seminars and workshops throughout America and Canada. He always encouraged his audiences to pick up their Bibles, read the “words of Jesus” and make up their own mind, what’s real and true.

One day while in prayer, Terry felt the Holy Spirit re-directing his life. He was told to write a book containing only the words of Jesus. A book that would teach believers without interpretation, opinion or commentary. So he retired as a public speaker and began composing the book, 'What Did Jesus Say: The Seven Messages from the Master'. It would take him twelve years to complete this calling.

Today, he leads Foundations for Life Ministries and lives in Atlantic Beach, Florida, where he counsels individuals and couples seeking a more mature understanding of their relationship with Jesus Christ.

Rev. Christian believes his calling is to help his brothers and sisters in Christ live in a never-ending state of love, truth and forgiveness. He says after "repentance", this was the main message Jesus taught; and teaching the way by the word is the cornerstone on which his book and ministry is founded.

Dr. Richard Ruhling Believes Affordable Health Care Is Bogus, Offers Wellness Plan

Ruhling cites AMA data from 1998 showing that adverse drug reactions put 2.2 million people in hospitals with 106,000 deaths, but deaths and illness increased 2.6 fold through 2005 (Archives of Internal Medicine) and the TV drug ads continue, making medical care the leading cause of illness, disability and premature death

Employers of 50 people must offer them medical insurance and pay 60% of it while the employee pays 40%, but they are both winners if the employee opts out, pays a $95 fine and stays well. “Stay Well” plans with Health Savings Account were the basis of programs 30 years ago that need another look, says Dr. Richard Ruhling, a retired physician who taught Health Science at Loma Linda University.

“The government is pushing medical care as healthcare, but the more prescriptions one takes, the worse one's health becomes,” says Ruhling who became board-certified in internal medicine. He says “drugs create illness due to Adverse Drug Reactions that also make medical care a leading cause of death.” Journal of AMA, 4-15-1998.

That article defined Adverse Drug Reactions as from a drug "properly prescribed and administered." It's not an overdose or a bad prescription. It's just the way that patient reacted unexpectedly.

Ruhling says we should expect it: "Drug action always represents artificial interference with the natural functioning of the organism. In the widest sense of the word, every drug is by definition a poison, pharmacology and toxicology are one, and the art of medicine is to use these poisons beneficially." (Drill's Textbook of Pharmacology in Medicine, Chapter 5: Intimate Study of Drug Action).

Pharmacology and toxicology are one? Ruhling says pharmacology evolved from toxicology, as it studied what dose of a chemical would kill half the animals and now people are the animals. This is just not reported in mainstream media because mainstream media gets ad revenue from drug companies.

Marcia Angell, MD, former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine and author of The Truth About the Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It, decried the drug ads in the media. She told 60 Minutes10+ years ago that drug companies spend $400 million on congressional re-election campaigns; by now it's a billion. Ruhling says a US senator, confronted with medical literature that drugs are a leading cause of illness and death said, "You're wasting your time. They own us!"

We might wonder how or why a doctor "might use these poisons beneficially," but if a person's blood pressure is sky-high from eating chittalings (hog intestines), it's better to take a drug to get the blood pressure down than to have a stroke (burst blood vessel in the brain resulting in paralysis).

Nathan Pritikin reported to the American College of Cardiology that 186 of 218 patients got off their drugs for blood pressure with a low fat diet and that a high fat diet makes rouleaux (blood cells become sticky and the heart has to pump harder to circulate the blood).

The World Health Organization reports “people with uncontrolled hypertension rose from 600 million in 1980 to nearly 1 billion in 2008 [and is] positively and continuously related to the risk for stroke and coronary heart disease."

Ruhling says cardiologists should have embraced Pritikin with information on how to get 85% of patients off blood pressure drugs, but their response was negative. They said he hadn't cured it because if people go off the diet, their blood pressure goes up. He adds that their response shows how broken the medical system is.

Pritikin's Longevity Center reported 65 patients with triple vessel disease that had been scheduled for bypass surgery, but they went to Pritikin's center instead. Three years later, 90% never had surgery; and only one had died from heart disease. But in spite of amazing results, Pritikin got no help from mainstream medicine, media or the Heart Association.

A Harvard cardiologist told 60 Minutes that 90% of heart by-pass surgeries weren't necessary, and the US News on August 5, 1990 reported on Dean Ornish's center 15 years after Pritikin's report. Bill Clinton got the message. He began a low cholesterol, low fat diet from Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn at the Cleveland Clinic.

Dr. Lester Breslow, Dean of UCLA's School of Public Health, discovered in a 10-year federally-funded study that normal-weight people who didn't drink or smoke had a 30-year advantage over those with an opposite profile. Breslow's profiling included exercise, 7 hours of sleep, 5 glasses of water daily, maintaining a "happy" attitude and eating breakfast.

Ruhling says that no breakfast is an indicator of millions who eat at night and can't burn the extra calories that get stored as fat. He says breakfast and mid-afternoon are best meal times when people can eat more. A good meal mid-afternoon should not leave us hungry when we go to bed, and our stomachs can rest when we do.

The US government can't run the postal system profitably at 15 times the cost of a letter when Ruhling was a child, but he says they want to run medical care that's far more complicated, because there's so much money in it, they can't keep their hands out of the pot. Ruhling thinks his ill-health as a child was due to vaccinations and mercury dental fillings. He changed his diet in college and has only had one prescription in his adult life. At 71, he says his last insurance was purchased 40 years ago to cover the hospital bill when their youngest son was born. He wonders how we got to government providing medical care and drugs subsidized for those who want to eat, drink and smoke as they please.

Our medical system evolved to accommodate quick interviews and a prescription. Most people decline to change habits as long as we can get free healthcare. It's a great society until the half who pay the pill bill taxes can no longer afford the 2nd indulgent half who don't, but perhaps the economic reality is dawning.

Every nation practicing western medicine is on the brink of bankruptcy. General Motors is an example—going broke over medical care for retirees. Ruhling called GM  to offer his healthcare program nearly 10 years ago. They said they had things under control. Medical care in the end is a slippery slope.

Ruhling offers a wellness program to companies to cut employee healthcare costs by their opting out of the government plan. His website has videos at http://LeadingCauseOfDeathPrescriptionDrugs.com.

Dr. Richard Ruhling is the author of 'Apocalypse 2013: How To Survive The Fall Of America' available at his website below and Kindle. ‘The Bridegroom Comes’ and ‘Why You Shouldn’t Ask Your Doctor - Choices That Can Save Your Life’, are also available at his websites and Amazon.

Moments later, Mrs. Adamson is dead and Rankin is buried beneath the rubble of his house, knocked flat by a car bomb planted in the dead woman’s Jaguar. When he’s questioned by the local police, Rankin learns that Adamson’s attorney has also turned up dead, his Cadillac riddled with bullets. Suspecting there is more to these murders than a domestic dispute, he teams up with Orlando cop Cathy Diamond for a thrilling—and treacherous—adventure that will lead them deep into the heart of the Everglades and hot on the trail of a dangerous criminal.

Gary Showalter has created a new hero for fans of hardboiled mysteries. Showalter stated, “My primary goal at the time I began to write 'The Big Bend' was to give myself a reason to stay awake; I was working lots of late night shifts, and there wasn’t a lot to do, and not enough new books I wanted to read. So I started to write the kind of book I would read if someone else were to take the time to write it. It wasn’t long before I realized 'The Big Bend' could become a commercial venture. I put about two years into researching, writing and editing each novel because I want people to enjoy them and remember them. Now, with the upcoming release of the audio book version of 'The Big Bend' in the middle of July, my novels will become available to even more people, and that is a very exciting thought. The audio book version will be available through Amazon, Audible.com and iTunes.”

'The Big Bend' has achieved a 4 star rating on Amazon with 121 reviews. Recent Amazon reviews stated, “Very good book, well written, kept moving.” and “I really enjoyed the story & look forward to reading all of the books in this series.”

In addition to 'The Big Bend', Showalter is also the author of 'Hog Valley', 'Twisted Key' and 'Lonesome Cove'.  He has been described as a master of descriptive writing, with excellent character development, tremendous scene description and short, punchy action scenes. Gary Showalter writes with a wry, sardonic sense of humor, and his work treats romance as it should be; lightly, gently, and with a quirky understanding of the tender side of human nature.

The audiobook version of 'The Big Bend' will be available mid-July 2013 at Amazon, Audible.com and iTunes. Gary Showalter is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below, or by email at gary@garyshowalter.com.

All of Showalter’s novels are available in both print and electronic versions at Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble. 'The Big Bend' will be available in Kindle version for .99 cents June 14 and 15 on Amazon at http://amzn.to/13PC2bd.  More information is available at his website at http://www.GaryShowalter.com.

Author And Photographer John Crippen Releases 'Animal Portraits With The Digital Photography Of John Crippen: Learning Photography With Animals'

The new book has over 100 captivating photographs and centers primarily on composition. Reviewers have called the book 'impressive' and 'enlightening'

Author and photographer John Crippen has announced the release of 'Animal Portraits With The Digital Photography Of John Crippen: Learning Photography With Animals'. The book is for photographers who are ready to transition from point and shoot to DSLR.

'Animal Portraits' has over 100 captivating photos with information such as ISO, shutter speed, and aperture settings under each image. While some dialog is provided regarding lens, filter or technique, most of the book provides an opportunity for readers to look at images and decide what kind of composition the reader would like to experiment with on their own. Incorporated in the collection are lighting, color, and field of depth combinations. The book is geared towards people transitioning from a point and shoot to a DSLR camera, but is useful at all levels of expertise.

"I think that photography has been a natural progression," Crippen stated, "because I've always loved art and I've aways loved animals. Photography is a way to nature and life while it's actually happening. Renoir would have been in heaven with a good camera. I wanted to create a book for people to learn the basics of photography through enjoying the images. I put the cameras setting underneath each photo so new photographers could quickly glance at a picture that's slimilar to they like to take. They don't have to spend a lot of time figuring out the right settings. with their DSLR.  Sometimes capturing that magic shot is only available for a few moments."

Jack Magnus of Readers Favorite said, "’Animal Portraits with the Digital Photography of John Crippen’ is a guide for photographers who have made, or are considering making, the transition from a point and shoot or a "prosumer" DSLR camera to a full-fledged DSLR. The first part of the book is a tutorial with demonstrations showing how shutter speed, focal length and environmental conditions can make photography challenging, and the solutions that can be used. He gives examples of pictures taken in zoos and in the wild, and shows how the background of each picture can enhance the mood of the presentation. Author and photographer John Crippen also discusses the types of equipment you'll need to bring along for a day's shooting. Each picture contains data including the type of camera, lens, f-stop, ISO and the time of exposure. He suggests that new DSLR enthusiasts can learn through exploring what experienced photographers have achieved and gives the reader basic instructions and guidelines. He also includes pictures taken with various point and shoot cameras while noting that great shots are sometimes just a moment or two's opportunity.

I will be purchasing a new DSLR in the near future and am also a wildlife photographer. This book is both impressive and enlightening. There are portraits of lions and elephants, seals and sea lions, and an amazing selection of wild bird photos, all beautifully composed and filled with life. Crippen's details and instructions are precise and to the point, and his pictures illustrate the lessons given. This is a remarkable collection of photographs as well as a well-thought-out introduction to the art of animal photography using a DSLR camera."

Mr. Crippen is available for media interview and can be reached using the information below or by email at johncrippenphotography@hotmail.com. 'Animal Portraits With The Digital Photography Of John Crippen: Learning Photography With Animals' is available at Amazon.
