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."

David Palladino is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at inspirationalbookauthor@yahoo.com. 'Adriana Corderu, Quest for Freedom' is available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Rosedog Books. More information, including samples of the book, is available at Palladino’s website:   http://www.inspirationalbookauthor.com.

Book About NDE, 'A Flight Without Wings' By Author Brian McLaughlin, Shortlisted In 2015 Book Awards

McLaughlin's book about NDE's details his totally unique near death experience. It is raw and it's real. There is no embellishment, no theology and no hidden agenda

'A Flight Without Wings', Brian McLaughlin's new release about his near death experience, is one of 50 books shortlisted in the 2015 Book Viral Book Awards. 

Brian A. McLaughlin gives us a penetrating glimpse into the near death experience. It provide readers with a totally unique perspective on the near death experience. The book details his amazing near death experience in a way that is raw and real. There is no embellishment, no theology and no hidden agenda. While many books about the near death experience have a decidedly religious tone, McLaughlin's work does not. The book appeals to readers who seek evidence and the real truth about what happens when we die. Hidden agendas, concocted drama and brain wave research play no part in his work. It is a story told as it happened. The reader is left to draw the final conclusions.   

McLaughlin had his near death experience when he died during a trip to Mexico. In much the same way as other people who have had such an experience, the event changed the course of his life forever. His NDE instilled in him what we all seek - certainty about life after death. And with that came a peace of mind that can never be shaken, nor can it be doubted. It brought a sense of clarity and a sense of real, lasting peace. He now knows with certainty that we exist forever.

“Initially I thought my experience was a little boring. Although I hadn’t read any other accounts of similar events, I had heard some stories about the grand nature of some different experiences. I also had pre-conceived notions in my own head of what I might expect in a visit to Heaven. My actual encounter fell short of fulfilling those expectations.

I felt strongly about telling my story as it happened though. No embellishment, no interpretation from helpful editors or contributing writers. My story would be presented raw and as pure as my memory would allow. Recollection of the particulars was akin to describing last night’s dinner. I had no issues over remembering.

I feel as though the reader may have similar pre-conceived ideas about death and an afterlife. I don’t want to interfere with those thoughts by claiming to have seen multitudes of people or flower filled valleys or even the angels. I didn’t see those things. The important, hard to explain feelings and visions that presented themselves to me were more than enough to fill my plate.  I want the reader to adapt the vision into their own belief system and make it part of their own expectation.

The experience was, just as I wrote in my book.  Extremely profound, moving and compelling, and not so much entertaining.  The powerful tools I brought back continue to surprise me, and harnessing their use continues to benefit my life… right here, right now”

'A Flight Without Wings' has received a number of awards and continues to draw positive reviews. McLaughlin was chosen as one of '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' in 2015. Jack Magnus, a reviewer with Readers Favorite called it "a remarkable work that's well worth reading, and it's highly recommended." Another reviewer stated, "Being a mother who lost her only child I found it to be a great comfort to me." Another said, "I have read many accounts such as these, but this beautifully written account simply touched my heart in ways that previous ones have not."

Mark Feuerstein, Actor (Royal Pains, USA Network) wrote: “I have read it and I think it’s an inspiring tale of deep insight and so personal and yet so universal . . . such profound perspective.”

Brian McLaughlin is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at bamplaya@msn.com. 'A Flight Without Wings' is available at Amazon, Payhip and other book retailers. More information is available on his website at: http://www.BrianMcLaughlinBooks.com.

About Brian McLaughlin:

Brian McLaughlin is the award-winning author of 'A Flight Without Wings'. In his inspirational book, Brian vividly depicts his journey into Heaven and his following return to life caused by a massive head trauma sustained while vacationing in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico twenty-one years ago.

Real Life Miracle Stories - Author Donna Louis Releases New Christian Book Exploring Real Life Miracle Stories

Donna Louis has experienced three miraculous events. As the result of her experiences, she began an in-depth study of some of Christianity's most well-documented miracles and offers a book that explores these miraculous events

Miracles happen. Pope Francis named 10 saints in 2015. He also recognized Mother Teresa's second miracle, paving her way to sainthood, scheduled to happen in September of 2016.

A miracle is a real-world event that transcends known scientific laws. In Mother Teresa's case, a 30 year old woman in Kolkata said she was cured of a stomach tumor after praying to Mother Teresa. A Vatican committee said it could find no scientific explanation for her healing and declared it a miracle. Miracles do happen and nobody knows that better than Donna Louis, author of "Miracles of Direction, Miracles of Conquest, Miracles of Provision, Miracles of Purpose'.

Louis explores biblical miracles that took place while Jesus was here on earth. She then references with miracles that take place on a daily basis in the modern world. She separates these miracles into four categories and presents insightful example of each type, taken directly from the Bible.

Louis knows her subject well, as she has personally experienced three miracles. As the result of those life-altering experiences, she began an in-depth study of some of Christianity's most well-documented miracles. In her book, she attempts to expand upon and explain both the purpose and the direction of those miracles.

"Miracles strengthen your belief that God exists," Louis stated. "Miracles propel you to heights you never dreamed you would reach. Pope Francis is a visionary, and Mother Teresa is so deserving of her upcoming recognition as a saint."

Donna Louis was chosen as a winner in the 2015 '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' awards contest. 'Miracles' has also received rave reviews from readers. One review called it "amazing, uplifting and inspirational". Another stated, "I was profoundly impressed by the writing."

Donna Louis is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at donnalouisgodsmessenger@aol.com. 'Miracles of Direction, Miracles of Conquest, Miracles of Provision and Miracles of Purpose' is available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Xulon Press. More information is available at her website at http://www.miraclebook.net.

About Donna Louis:

Author Bio: Donna Louis is happily married to her husband of 30 years Patrick Louis and currently resides in Florida. She lives to accomplish the task that God created her for and on a daily basis to follow Proverbs 3:5-6. "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."

Canadian Indie Author Rusty Blackwood Announces Recent, Upcoming Schedule Of Events For Release Of 5 Star Rated Romantic Fiction Novel, 'Willow's Walk'

Blackwood's latest 5 star romance novel follows 'Passions In Paris', a romantic fiction novel written in the tradition of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and 'What Dreams May Come'

Canadian Indie author Rusty Blackwood, author of 'Passions In Paris', has announced several new events and the upcoming schedule of events for the recent release of her new 5 star romantic fiction novel, 'Willow's Walk'.

On February 1, 2016, Blackwood was the guest author and speaker for the Thorold Writer's Forum, which took place at the Thorold Public Library. This was the first launch event in the lineup for the official Niagara launch of 'Willow's Walk'. She was honored to speak about her writing journey. She performed a reading from 'Willow's Walk'.

In addition, Blackwood was the only Niagara Indie author to be asked to sit on the first romance panel, "Love in the Afternoon", held in the La Marsh Room at the Niagara Falls Public Library on February 3, 2016. Other writers included Toronto Harlequin authors Jennifer Hayward and Stefanie London. It was an opportunity to discuss both traditional and independent writing, detailing the pros and cons of both forms.

Ms. Blackwood also announced that she will be appearing at Seaway Mall Coles in Welland, Ontario on March 12, 2016 between 1- 4:30 pm to sign copies of 'Willow's Walk'. She was also invited to appear at R&B Novel Teas, 4400 Queen Street #2, Niagara Falls, Ontario, to read from 'Willow's Walk', and to sign copies between 1 - 3 pm on March 26, 2016.

"With all that has been recently happening," Blackwood stated, "it can feel somewhat overwhelming, but I can handle it, and I have certainly waited a very long time to be able to say that. I have worked hard, but I'm a very determined person, and I have no intention in slowing down anytime soon. I recently did some new and exciting venues, all in keeping with the Niagara launch of 'Willow's Walk', and it was most interesting to be personally asked by the Niagara Falls library to sit on a romance panel with a couple of authors from the opposite side of the publishing coin. By this I mean standard publishing, as opposed to independent publishing, but it was all informative for the audience, and I believe for those of us on the panel as well. But as enlightening as it was, it has not changed my mind regarding the path I have chosen. 'Willow's Walk' has made me even more determined to continue the route I've chosen, and it is my hope that I will continue to write nothing short of 'Willow's' quality."

'Willow's Walk', follows the release of 'Passions in Paris: Revelations Of A Lost Diary'. Her first romantic fiction book is a sweeping saga written in the tradition of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and 'What Dreams May Come'. It has been compared to Erich Segal's 'Love Story' and Nicholas Sparks' 'The Notebook'.

'Willow's Walk' is a gripping new tale, certain to hold readers captive from the very first page. Set in the beautiful city of Ottawa, Canada in 2003, this touching story centers on the life and times of a woman determined to prevail at all costs, regardless of what is set before her, the result of which is certain to leave the reader reeling in its wake.

The path each person walks is entirely their own. The pitfalls along that path, as well as the way in which they are dealt with are entirely up to the individual. But Willow Sutherland Crosby walks a far-different path, and with her own agenda.

Abuse, deception, intrigue, and a never ending quest for happiness and love - will she find these, or will her blind determination be her downfall?

'Willow's Walk' has received a number of 5 star reviews from professional reviewers. Maria Beltran stated, "I highly recommend this book." Gisela Dixon said, ". . . I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the life of a person presented in such a wonderful manner."

'Passions In Paris' has also received rave reviews. Linkk Kula Kane said, "Passions in Paris I think stands its ground with these other powerful romantic stories like 'The Notebook' by Nicolas Sparks." Reader Fred Pifer stated that 'Passions', " . . .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."

Information on the new romantic fiction release, including a new book trailer, is available at Blackwood's site on the 'Willow' page. Readers can download paperback and Kindle versions of both books at Amazon sites worldwide, including Amazon.ca.

Rusty Blackwood is available for interview in the Toronto and Niagara areas and can be reached using the information below or by email at writerrusty@hotmail.ca. More information is available at her website at http://www.rusty-blackwood.com.

Terrorism, Illegal Immigration, Murder And English Detectives - New Crime Thriller, 'The Dance Of Dimitrios', Released By Award Winning Author Patrick Brigham

Brigham is the author of a number of mystery books and crime thrillers that address political and Cold War issues. In his latest work he brings terrorism, illegal immigration and murder together in a gripping tale built upon real world events

Award winning author Patrick Brigham has announced the release of his latest crime thriller, 'The Dance Of Dimitrios'.

'The Dance of Dimitrios' is a riveting mystery novel that mixes some of the horrors of illegal immigration with everyday events. DCI Lambert, who works for Europol - the European equivalent of the FBI - is sent to Greece in order to solve a cold case. Detective Chief Inspector Mike Lambert knows about people trafficking and the problems it causes governments throughout the world. Greece is the gateway into Europe for countless Middle-Eastern migrants, political refugees and terrorists. The story involves the discovery of a woman's body found floating in the River Ardas in Northern Greece. Believed to be of Middle-Eastern origin, she is buried in a communal grave along with other Islamic victims of drowning and promptly forgotten. When it is later revealed that she is actually an Englishwoman called Marjory Braithwaite - who has been living for some years in Greece - the British government turns to Europol for help. Realizing that this probably means murder, DCI Lambert is dispatched to Greece.

"Much of what we see in the daily media is sad and often brutal," Brigham stated. "The problem is that we are all gradually becoming immune to violence; particularly when it comes to illegal immigration, and so we tend to switch off. But, behind these headlines, there are often incredible stories to be told.  Hidden away amongst the daily aggression, human degradation and greed, there exist tales which are both inspirational and revealing, involving brave and dedicated people, just like you and me. In my new crime thriller such people exist in the guise of Detective Chief Inspector Mike Lambert – an English Europol detective - and his Greek assistant, Detective Sergeant Electra Boulos. In this, my newest crime novel, the reader - can not only experience police’ determination to exact justice - but they will also become all too well aware, of the latent fear and danger which exists, when surrounded by such violence, murder and mystery."

There are few good books on the subject of international crime, especially mystery stories which delve into the shady side of politics. There are also few mystery novelists who are prepared to address the thorny political issues of arms dealing and money laundering and people trafficking in their mystery crime fiction. Patrick Brigham does not just write about these situations. He has lived them. He was the Editor in Chief of The Sofia Western News, the first English Language news magazine in Bulgaria between 1995 and 2000.

As a journalist he witnessed the changes in this once hard core communist country and personally knew most of the political players, including the old Communist Dictator Todor Zhivkov and his successors Zhelev and Stoyanov. However these days, as an author, he concentrates on writing good mystery books often revealing diplomatic and political intrigue.

Readers have praised his novels. One stated, "I am an ex cop - he must of done a lot of research to get so many things right. I felt when reading 'Abduction' that Patrick was relating an investigation, he actually carried out." Another said, "'Abduction - An Angel Over Rimini' is an entertaining, gripping, and also an astonishing Europol procedural read, making you want to read more. I was drawn into the story right away. I felt close to Michael Lambert and his way of analysing and detecting. All relevant characters became pretty real. 'Abduction - An Angel Over Rimini' is a good read for mystery fans, readers who like surprises, and apparent coincidences."

Patrick Brigham is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at patrick.brigham@gmail.com. Books are available at Amazon, Amazon.UK, Smashwords and at his website. More information is available at Patrick Brigham's website at http://www.patrickbrigham.co.uk.

About Patrick Brigham:

Patrick has been a writer and journalist for many years. He has published many short stories, newspaper and magazine articles. Born in the English Home Counties, he attended Public School and College before moving to London and embarking on his career. Having spent the last twenty years in South Eastern Europe, many of his stories are set in this part of the world as well as in Oxford, Hampshire and Berkshire. As the Editor in Chief of the first English Language news magazine in Sofia Bulgaria, between 1995 and 2000 - and as a journalist - he witnessed the changes in this once hard core Communist Country and personally knew most of the political players, including the old Dictator Todor Zhivkov and his successors Zhelev and Stoyanov.

How To Age At Home - Careful Planning Is Key Says Cynthia Martindale, Author Of 'Graceful Last Chapters: Helping Seniors Who Need More Care'

Martindale's latest book is the ultimate guide to caregiving. It helps caregivers chart a clear path through caregiving challenges, options, and eventual heartbreak

A recent article by Maryalene LaPonsie on the US News & World Report site, entitled "Want to Spend Your Senior Years at Home? Here's How to Do It", made the point that moving to a retirement home is not mandatory. The article presented a number of key concepts including creating a safe environment, assessing the need for services and the need to remain active and engaged.

Cynthia Neher Martindale, author of 'Graceful Last Chapters: Helping Seniors Who Need More Care', adds that technology driven in-home services can help seniors make that goal a reality, in ways that have not been possible before.

"Almost 90 percent of people over the age of 60 say they want to 'age in place' in their current home, and nearly 86% of those 70 years or older feel they’ll be able to accomplish living at home with no major modifications," Martindale stated. "If this is your plan, there's good news. Two giants in technology driven on-demand in-home services, Amazon and Uber, recently announced increased service options. Need help around the house? Take a look at Amazon Home Services (900 professional services in 26 U.S. cities) for vetted and insured help with everything from house cleaning or yard and outdoor projects, to electrical, plumbing, heating or air conditioning maintenance. Or maybe you need help with transportation? Take a look at Uber’s recently announced plans to expand UberACCESS and UberASSIST. Specially trained drivers help riders with accessibility needs by either utilizing ramps for wheelchair customers (ACCESS) or accommodating folding wheelchairs, walkers, and scooters (ASSIST)."

Martindale is a veteran of all things senior-related. In 'Graceful Last Chapters', she shares her twenty years of experience with senior care in a voice filled with compassion, understanding, and an insider's point of view. As the primary caregiver for her parents in their declining years, as a sales and marketing director for senior living communities, and as a lawyer, Ms. Martindale brings readers a valuable resource about caring for aging loved ones. The book is filled with support and guidance for caregivers, clearly defined options for care, and the ways and means for readers to craft their own successful journey through caregiving challenges and heartbreak. Ms. Martindale offers readers fundamental knowledge, hope, a sense of identity and, ultimately, a path toward peace of mind.

Martindale combines her education, business expertise, and personal experiences to bring readers a valuable resource about caring for aging loved ones. The book's twenty-seven chapters are grouped into seven sections: (One) Considering Long-Term Care Options; (Two) Caregiving Challenges; (Three) Creating a Plan; (Four) Aging in Place With Additional Care; (Five) Senior Living Communities; (Six) Touring Senior Communities; and (Seven) After the Bloom Fades. The chapters build gradually to mimic the progression of the journey caregivers take with their senior loved one, whether that individual is their mother, father, aunt, uncle, sibling, spouse, friend, or neighbor.

'Graceful Last Chapters' has achieved a perfect 5 star rating on Amazon. One reviewer stated, "It is rare to encounter such an obviously experienced counselor in the field of Senior Care as Cynthia who demonstrates on every page of this impressive and ultimately authoritarian guide such tenderness, calm and candor." Another said, "This book captures not only the practical information on choices for seniors but it deals with the tougher emotional side of caring for loved ones as they age."

"We can only make informed choices if we have enough of the right information to make those choices," Martindale concluded. "People new to caregiving are overwhelmed with options. There are too many choices, all of them difficult. People new to caregiving need help, not sales pitches. They need information, not hearsay. 'Graceful Last Chapters' provides rock-solid advice and information that can help seniors age at home - gracefully."

Cynthia Martindale is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at cindy@martindalecopywriting.com. 'Graceful Last Chapters: Helping Seniors Who Need More Care' is available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. More information is available at http://www.bookforcaregivers.com.

Cynthia Neher Martindale holds degrees from Hillsdale College (B.A. in English), Northern Illinois University (M.A. in English), and Valparaiso University School of Law (J.D.). Graceful Last Chapters: Helping Seniors Who Need More Care is the result of her years as both a sales and marketing director for senior living communities and as the primary caregiver for her parents. She  lives in Flossmoor, Illinois, with her husband and son.

The Question Of Life After Death - Brian McLaughlin, Author Of 'A Flight Without Wings' Provides A Look At The Other Side

McLaughlin's book about NDE's details his totally unique near death experience. It is raw and it's real. There is no embellishment, no theology and no hidden agenda

Where did we come from? What happens when we die? These two questions have been contemplated by nearly every human born since the very beginning of the human species. Questions about our origins however do not hold the same urgency as those about where we may be going next. The desire to know and understand what happens after we die is the Great Unanswered Question. While formalized systems such as religion and philosophy offer us conjecture and opinions, in the end they are just that. What we seek instead is a clear cut answer - proof.

Near death experiences seem to offer the possibility of real proof. Crystal McVea, author of 'Waking Up In Heaven' claims she was sent back to Earth by God. Don Piper, author of '90 Minutes In Heaven' came back to life after being declared dead when a clergy member prayed over him. Billie Eadie, author of 'Embraced By The Light', returned after meeting Jesus. Dr. Mary Neal, author of 'To Heaven And Back', met Jesus and was given a premonition about the death of her son before returning. There are many more. Are these stories proof of life after death? For many skeptics, the answer is no. The underlying religious tone of many of these stories can be a real turnoff for non-believers.

Brian A. McLaughlin, author of 'A Flight Without Wings' gives us another perspective on the near death experience. His story is utterly unique. McLaughlin's book about NDE's details his amazing near death experience in a way that is raw and real. There is no embellishment, no theology and no hidden agenda.

McLaughlin died during a trip to Mexico and experienced his own NDE.  That event changed the course of his life forever.  It instilled in him what we all seek - certainty about life after death. And with that a peace of mind that can never be shaken, nor can it be doubted. His near death experience brought a sense of clarity. It brought a sense of real, lasting peace. He now knows with certainty that we exist forever.

brian_mclaughlin_cover“Am I that different from you ?  Hardly. I’m just an average guy who is looking to share my unusual, life changing experience with you. I struggled when considering writing a book about NDEs as a way to get the word out. Should I tell a story that satisfies most conceptions of Heaven, and create something easy to read and be entertaining ?  Lots to consider.

I finally realized that I had to be true to the experience, and simply tell it like it was. In fact, most of my own pre-conceptions of Heaven were absent.  Did that disappoint me ?  No.  I spent most of my education in parochial schools up to and including some college.  Suffice it to say I had plenty of thoughts about what to expect in a visit to Heaven. Still not disappointed.  Faced with being surrounded and overwhelmed by the purest version of love and peace that I could even attempt to describe… why would I be disappointed ?  That was profound, that was  peace.  I certainly don’t feel as though I missed out on anything…  I got it,  it was sufficient,  I wouldn’t trade the experience in to get my eye back, or remove the scars and  go back to what/whom I was before the accident.

I think it’s better to just go with what I know. Although other books may describe a different vision, I could only speak with authority about MY experience albeit different from others. I was gifted great things to return with. New and powerful tools to use in my Earthly life. The absence of fear, both of death and for many issues I face, changes my perspective on so many things.  The understanding and clarity in putting simple and basic concepts to use in relationships has obvious benefit.

So… Maybe now you can see why I actually feel lucky to have been given this experience, even without the wings or halos, or even meeting Jesus, I walked away with so very much.”

Brian McLaughlin was chosen as one of '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' in 2015. Reviews of 'A Flight Without Wings' have been overwhelmingly positive. One stated, "Being a mother who lost her only child I found it to be a great comfort to me." Another said, "I have read many accounts such as these, but this beautifully written account simply touched my heart in ways that previous ones have not."

Mark Feuerstein, Actor (Royal Pains, USA Network) wrote: “I have read it and I think it’s an inspiring tale of deep insight and so personal and yet so universal . . . such profound perspective.”

Fantasy Fiction Author Laura Hughes Releases New Adventure Book For Teens, 7th Book In 'The Sara Chronicles' Series

Laura Hughes produces engaging works of fantasy fiction set against a backdrop of magical worlds and richly drawn characters that teach young people to develop determination and the ability to overcome challenges

Fantasy fiction author Laura Hughes has released the 7th book in 'The Sara Chronicles' series, ' Sara Chronicles Book Seven - Stories New, Stories Old - Things Re-written and Things Foretold'.

In the tradition of 'Lord Of The Rings' and 'Harry Potter', Laura Hughes builds entire worlds peopled with heroic role models that young readers find irresistible. Hughes' characters are richly drawn and teach young people important life skills and are filled with magic, monsters, legends and high adventures.

"As an author I am excited to share my imagination with others," Hughes stated. "There are worlds and characters in my mind that just have to come out and see the light of day and express themselves to reader. I want to take readers to magical lands and have them cheer these young heroes through all their successes and worry about their safety through all their failures, for in them, is a little bit of all of us. Circumstances may differ somewhat in each person’s life, but there are things that we face on a daily basis that challenge us to persevere and overcome. We are all heroes in our own story."

In the storyline of Book 7, there have always been two versions of the fate of the worlds- one is written in a light volume authored by Iam creator of all that is good and the other in a dark book authored by Braccus - the embodiment of all evil. The endings of both books are fluid and ever-changing, the outcome being uncertain - and in this last great battle of both entities - it is winner take all.

Sara, Thomas and James are dead - stuck in the afterworld fighting Braccus’s evil thoughts and lost souls while trying to find their way back to their, currently un-occupied bodies somewhere far below them. With only the idea that it might be possible to live again, they race toward a sweet, loving voice guiding them down to an uncertain future with the promise of renewal and a chance to be useful to the embattled worlds again. That voice belongs to Marlaina- the Keeper whose voice can call souls back to their bodies and restore life. She is but one of the brave Keepers who dwell in the seven worlds, fighting daily to stay alive and protect the helpless survivors of a planet whose surface has been destroyed. Though the refugees have existed underground for four long years, made comfortable by the gifts of The Keepers, Braccus has been busy re-writing their fate. In order to protect the hidden members of humanity- The Keepers have to return to the surface and engage in battle in places that only exist in nightmares. With no guarantee they will succeed in their mission, they fight on to reclaim Iam’s worlds and protect the humans he loves so dearly. Sara’s return is their last great hope- but the dead, like the living, having chosen sides and will fight just as fiercely to conquer their foes.

Other books in 'The Sara Chronicles' include "The Sara Chronicles The Beginning', 'Evolution Of Us - Book 2', 'The Return - Book 3', 'Chaos, Confusion and Changing Of The Guard - Book 4', 'The Great Unknown and All That Lies Beneath It - Book 5', and 'Into Darkness We Go - Up Above And Down Below - Book 6'. Complete information on all of her adventure books for teens is available at her website.

Hughes' works have received rave reviews from readers. One stated, "A grand reading adventure for young and old alike . . .' Another said, "This book was impossible to put down . . ."

Permanent Peace Of Mind: Author And Speaker James Anthony Moran Announces Launch Of 'Irish Spirit Rising'

Moran has acquired knowledge that has the potential to change life in amazing ways and to lead others to peace of mind. The worldwide launch will take place on March 14, 2016

Author and speaker James Anthony Moran has announced the worldwide launch of 'Irish Spirit Rising'. Moran provides specialized knowledge to help people develop a state of permanent peace of mind.

Moran’s gift lies in the fact that, as an initiate, he has been through his own 'dark night of the soul'. He possesses a wealth of knowledge. He is a leader with a natural ability whose ethos is based on empowering and supporting those who are seeking the required knowledge in these very challenging times. His great gift as a speaker comes from the fact that James Anthony understands what is happening in the world, how it is happening and why it is happening, and therefore he can confidently provide very simple and clear solutions to problems that baffle so many.

The event will take place on March 14, 2016 at the Woodlands House Hotel in Limerick, Ireland. The event begins at 7:30 p.m. and will introduce his lineup of services. These include:

Skype one-to-one consultations

A subscription video library 

The opportunity to work with James over a 10-day period from the months of May through to September 2016. 

One-to-one packages, arranged on location in Ireland over a 10-day period.

Group packages up to a maximum of five people at a time, arranged on location in Ireland over a 10-day period. 

Activities will be focused on the development of a permanent peace of mind. This will be an opportunity to experience a unique perspective as well as experience the deep spiritual heritage that Ireland has to offer.

Moran will speak at the March event and will present an overview of his research to date, an overview of the services that are being launched and plans for future development and expansion. He will also demonstrate a series of exercises, where the audience will be invited to participate.

"The book of life," Moran stated, "is a living book which contains the much sought after ‘Holy Grail.’ It is the creator’s manual providing us with new knowledge for a new day as we seek to evolve to a higher form of consciousness in these challenging times. It is a knowledge that is pure, sacred and whole."  

"The movement of consciousness we are witnessing now is seeking to unite all fields of human endeavour into one whole movement. As we bring various disciplines together we will see where they fit in. We will gain valuable insights that will benefit us all because we will discover something new and amazing about ourselves that we were not aware of before. Solutions to problems that once baffled us will appear on the horizon. As we work with each solution, we will be entering a new world where we will witness as well as experience the consciousness of co-creation emerging into every area of our lives."
  
"What we are witnessing in the world now is one paradigm dissolving away in order to make way for a whole new paradigm, a whole new way of life which is now opening up. The question is: what are we to do? Where do we begin? The most important thing we need to do before we do anything else is to find peace of mind."

"I introduce a ground breaking psychology with a different way of thinking, therefore leading to a unique way of being in the world. Let me invite you now to come with me on a journey, an adventure of exploration and discovery, where you will experience yourself, others and the world around you in a very exciting way as you find out who you really are and why you are here."

"In recent years my search for a deeper meaning to my life led me to the work of such notable figures as Deepak Chopra whose book 'The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success' was a great inspiration to me, along with Eckhart Tolle’s book, 'A New Earth' and Gregg Braden’s book entitled 'Awakening to Zero Point, The Collective Initiation'. There have been many other authors who have inspired me but these three stand out for me because their work played a crucial role in what I have to offer humanity at this stage." 

In the words of Dr. Cathal O’Connell, Director of Applied Social Studies at University College Cork, Ireland, "James Anthony is a devout believer in sharing his knowledge with others. Truly, it is the story of one who is on a remarkable journey."

He now firmly believes that his purpose lies in passing on the knowledge he possesses to those individuals who are finding the challenges of life difficult. Down through the years he has worked with people from all walks of life and he strongly believes that the answers people seek are within themselves.

Anthony offers one on one consultations with clients via Skype. His book, 'Irish Spirit Rising: The Journey', will be available in the spring of 2016.

James Anthony Moran is available for media interviews, speaking engagements and consultations. He can be reached using the information below or by email at james@jamesanthonymoran.com. More information, including client booking information, a media kit and video samples, is available at his website at http://www.jamesanthonymoran.com.

About James Anthony Moran:

Graduating from University College Cork Ireland with a Bachelor of Social Sciences degree in 1997, James Anthony began to look at the whole idea of how change affects people. What he has now drawn from his soul searching escapades is a body of knowledge garnered from a variety of life experiences, as well as a study of various disciplines in relation to the effects of consciousness on the ongoing evolutionary development of the human species, as well as all other life forms which includes the living earth. In June 2014, his research was validated and endorsed as original, unique and universal by University College Cork.
