Losing The Fear Of Death - Author And NDE Expert Brian McLaughlin Offers A Clear Path To A Life Without Fear

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

A recent article on the Today website, part of a two part series done by Natalie Morales, was titled "Do you believe? Near-death experience survivor recalls 'amazing' encounter." One of the people featured in the article stated, "The loss of fear of death is so amazing." In that single sentence, she hit upon the central thought that can instantly transform one's life.

It is empowering when we at last come to the realization that, at the very core of all our problems, troubles, anxieties and difficulties, lies some form of fear. Overcoming any problem or challenge begins by dealing with the particular form of fear inherent in that challenge. Once that is out of the way, the rest is not so difficult. But death? The fear of death is the greatest of all fears. Death is the big one, as we cannot avoid it, sidestep it or control it in any way. Death however is not the real problem. Fear of death is the real problem. If we could overcome the fear of death our lives WOULD be amazing. How would our perspective change if we knew, beyond doubt, that we would not come to an end? Can we believe that and embrace it?

Brian McLaughlin, author of 'Flight Without Wings, My Experience With Heaven', knows we can. Teaching others how to overcome fear of the dark or the fear of heights is one thing. Brian takes this to a whole new level by showing us that the fear of death itself unwarranted. Achieving that state is both awe inspiring and life changing. That is precisely what he can do for anyone willing to listen.

Recently McLaughlin stated “ Your fears may be the single most debilitating aspect of your life.

The fear of death might be the most thought about. There are many aspects of this fear... like sub-headings I suppose. Fear of death could include the fear of the unknown, fear of loss, fear of pain, fear of not going to Heaven !  After my experience, and presentation of my book “A Flight Without Wings”,  I can state with certainty and confidence that I no longer fear death. The fears listed above were satisfied.  Fear of the unknown...  I now know where I will be going, the fear of loss, pain, etc., have all been revealed to me so I can cross them off as well.

I realize that for me it’s easier because I’ve been there.  I suspect that many people balance themselves on the thin line of really believing and having doubts.  My hope is that by sharing my experience will help them lean towards really believing.  I do so without any dogma or requisites, so most people can use my experience to support their own position. This knowledge for me has changed my whole outlook on living. It can for you as well. For those of you who have some measure of faith, I think that in sharing my event with you, I will bolster your belief system.  Those of you who feel they have no faith at all, my hope would be that my words will stimulate your mind to just consider the possibilities.”

A Flight Without Wings' offers readers a look at the near death experience from an unbiased point of view. It is the presentation of the material that sets this book apart from the other books about the near death experience. It is raw and it's real. There is no embellishment and no hidden agenda. While his book has a spiritual flavor certainly, there is no preaching and no religious messages. It is his near-death experience, just as it happened.

McLaughlin's experience 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. It is that simple message he brings to his audience, both through his book and at his speaking engagements and in his media appearances.

Brian serves as co-host of the Chapters Rap Show on MadhouseTV.com, an Internet television show that is broadcast worldwide. He uses this forum to showcase people who make a difference.  Brian was chosen as one of '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' in both the 2015 and 2016 Book Awards.

Reviews of 'A Flight Without Wings' have been overwhelmingly positive. Dr. Penny Sartori, author of 'The Wisdom of Near-Death Experiences', said "This book will help others who have had an NDE to make sense of their experience and will also help those close to someone who has had an NDE because NDEs affect close family members and friends too."

Jack Magnus, a reviewer with Readers Favorite, called the book a "well written and moving memoir that neither delves into the fanciful or dogmatic,...”  "…Well worth reading, and is highly recommended." Another 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.

Author Virginia Frusteri Sollars Announces New Release, 'And Some Will Triumph', An Uncensored Look Into Correctional Mental Health

'And Some Will Triumph' is a riveting look into correction mental health and is ultimately a story of regret, hope, tragedy and redemption

Author Virginia Frusteri Sollars has announced the release of 'And Some Will Triumph: Stories of the Mentally Ill in a Correctional Setting and the Nurses Who Care for Them'. 'And Some Will Triumph' relates the story of Elizabeth, a psychiatric nurse, who comes to California, with her teenage daughter, to work at the Raine Correctional Facility.

Sollars uses her captivating and sometimes shocking stories of fact-based fiction to reveal the stark truths that lie behind the curtain of today’s current issues- the fundamental facts often obscured by our headline culture. Her gift for raw storytelling takes readers backstage, where they will experience, in vivid 3-D the challenges her semi-fictional characters must face. She brings the truth into the light, and lays bare the stunning reality behind these stories in ways that mere headlines could never achieve.

As a psychiatric nurse, Virginia journeyed inside the minds of the mentally ill. She not only allows her readers to participate in the day to day struggles that ensue behind the heavy steel doors of the correctional facility, but takes her readers into the thoughts, fears and secrets of the psychiatric inmates. Virginia explains the reasons why the criminal justice system has become the dumping ground for the mentally ill and why there are so few beds available to them on the outside, a matter of great concern in the United States.

"Most books about crimes, inmates and or prisoners write about one event and the whole book centers around that." Sollars stated. "I wanted to give my readers a broader spectrum. I wanted to make them aware of just how many mental health disorders there are, in a manner that could be easily understood, how devastating it can be for people dealing with severe depression, mania, psychosis and many of the other disorders I bring to light. How having a mental disorder can lead people to commit terrible crimes.  I bring my readers into a correctional facility, so they can walk the halls I walked, and get a real feel of how psychiatric nurses deal with these inmates as well as how the inmates cope.  I wanted to educate people of the challenges both the nurses and the inmates face."

Sollars' book has received rave reviews from readers. Kirkus Reviews said the book is  " . . .a remarkable timeline of the treatment of mental illness in the past 40 years, and it’s a triumphant account of her boldness as a mother, nurse, and woman. At a time when mental health is in the forefront of conversations about our health care system, her story is one of hope."

One reader stated, "Absolutely the best book I’ve read in years, uncensored look into correctional mental health, patients, inmates and the professionals who deal with some of society’s most troubled criminals, their day to day struggles all interwoven within a gripping story of murder and suspense. A must read!" Another said, "Awesome story! While the story keeps you turning the page to see what happens next, the real plight of the mental health patients in a correctional setting is heartbreaking.

Virginia Sollars is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at virginiasollars@yahoo.com. 'And Some Will Triumph' is available at online retailers. More information is available at her website at http://www.virginiasollars.net.

About Virginia Frusteri Sollars:

Virginia Frusteri Sollars was raised in Brooklyn, New York, and became a registered nurse in 1980, working as a psychiatric nurse for most of her career. She worked in the jail system for twenty-six years, caring for and treating the mentally ill.

Modern Day Miracle Involving 8 Month Old Infant Is Proof Of Miracles Says Donna Louis, Multi-Award Winning Author Of 'Miracles Of Direction'

Donna Louis' book is an in-depth study of some of Christianity's most well-documented miracles.

A recent miraculous event involving an 8-month old infant is proof that miracles take place today says Donna Louis, author of 'Miracles of Direction, Miracles of Conquest, Miracles of Provision, and Miracles of Purpose'.

In Texas, five people in a car were hit by a truck. One of those people, an 8 month old infant, was thrown out of the car and could not be found. Firefighters found the baby later inside a drain storm in the highway divider 25 feet away, completely unharmed. One of the firefighters stated, "There had to be some kind of divine intervention." Donna Louis believes that is not only possible, but that it is undoubtedly true.

"I am sure," Louis stated, "many of us remember the children’s song, 'Jesus Loves the Little Children All the Children of the World.' This real life event is a true depiction of that. In the Bible Jesus talks about the importance of children. And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, and said, Verily I say unto you, except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. – Matthew 18:2-6.

'Miracles of Direction, Miracles of Conquest, Miracles of Provision, and Miracles of Purpose' by award winning author Donna Louis is a Christian book that delves into Biblical miracles that took place while Jesus was here on earth and cross references with miracles that take place on a daily basis now in the 21st century.

She breaks these miracles down into four categories and presents example of each, taken directly from the Bible.

Louis knows the subject of miracles 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.

Donna was just chosen as a winner in the 2016 '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' awards contest for the second year in a row. '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 louistolouis@aol.com. More information is available at her website. ‘Miracles Of Direction’ is available at online retail book outlets. More information is available at her website at http://www.miraclebook.net.

About Donna Louis:

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."

Centuries Old Cell Phone Artifact Presents Modern Day Mystery - Award Winning Author Dana Lyons Sees The Possibilities In Such An Impossible Scenario

Lyons brings readers stories no one else could write. Her books feature quantum level adventures that combine science with spirituality blended with reincarnation, time travel, ancient powers and alien forces.

Out-of-place artifacts fascinate us by presenting an impossible scenario.

Just last week the internet was abuzz over an 800 year-old mobile phone with cuneiform writing on the touch pad, discovered by archaeologists in the Salzburg district of Austria. A photograph in an article by Jon Austin published in the UK last week by The Express presents us with yet another out-of-place artifact that is as interesting as it is mystifying.

Whether the mobile phone proves to be authentic or a hoax, there are many other instances where artifacts of a more technological time were found in ancient scenarios. Rene Noorbergen offers multiple examples of ooparts in his book Secrets of the Lost Races. Are they all hoaxes? Or is their presence a message from the past to the future, a sign of time travel, or evidence of ancient technology?

"In 'The Rosetta Coin', the first adventure novel in my two-part series, a unique coin bearing unearthly symbols is discovered in an unlikely location near the Great Pyramid," Lyons stated. "Because no one could place the language written on the coin, it was shut away until a bold archaeologist finds another person possessing a similar coin with the same writing.

"In regards to writing paranormal fiction, the impossible scenario is exactly where I want to send my characters. It's in the impossible-this-cannot-be situation that characters face something beyond what they are prepared for. The more severe the scenario, the farther that character has to reach to survive and grow--completing their arc. This makes the ride all the more thrilling for the reader who is there facing the impossible scenario with the character."

Dana Lyons creates stories no one else could write. Her books feature reincarnated lovers, time traveling souls, and an epic battle against ancient powers and alien forces. All of her books are fast paced, engaging and enlightening, written in contemporary time with modern elements as well as scenes from the ancient past. She takes her readers to worlds both ancient and contemporary for adventures of the heart, mind, and spirit.

Dana Lyons' books have received rave reviews posted on line. Reviewers have said:

"Dana Lyons has the remarkable ability of being able to create heroines who are smart, sexy, sassy and complicated all at the same time!"

"The rapid character development and story line left me unable to put it down.",

"Wonderful suspense. Makes you wonder if it could really happen."

"The way this author writes, the words visually play out in your head like a movie, so to see it on the big screen would be awesome."

Dana has been named as a winner in the 2016 ’50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’ Book Awards. Her honors came as a result of her appearance on The Authors Show. She was chosen as one of the best from a large number of authors through a public voting process. She was previously a winner in the 2015 '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' Awards.

Her body of work includes:

'A Love Reborn', a modern paranormal thriller about ancient love, magic, and betrayal.

'The Road to Babylon', an epic paranormal thriller revolving around a prophecy so ancient the world had long forgotten it, and a power so secret, even its possessor was unaware of it.

'Heart of the Druae', a paranormal romance that relates the tale of archeologist Eric Beck. On an unexplored hill near Stonehenge, something calls to him. Someone calls to him. And on the day of the summer solstice, his entire existence is about to change …

'The Rosetta Coin', another epic paranormal thriller detailing the story of an artifact many have died for and an adventure that could change the world.

Dana Lyons is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at author.danalyons@yahoo.com. All of Dana's books are available at Amazon and other online retail outlets. More information is available at her website at http://www.ParanormalRomanceBookAuthor.com.

Award Winning Author Brian Aull Named As One Of '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' In 2016 Book Awards

In 'The Triad: Three Civic Virtues That Could Save American Democracy', Aull lays out a vision for the future of democracy in the United States, and proposes practical steps citizens can take to solve the problems of bitter partisanship, money in politics, and growing economic inequality in the United States. 

Author Brian Aull has been chosen as a winner in the '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' Book Awards for 2016. His book, 'The Triad: Three Civic Virtues That Could Save American Democracy', offers solutions to the problems that threaten American democracy. At the same time, it takes a fresh look at issues that have traditionally divided liberals from conservatives.

The best books on politics sometimes come from authors who are not “experts.” 'The Triad’, authored by an engineer, is a case in point. Aull offers a vision of what a healthy democracy looks like, and proposes practical steps that citizens can take to get us there. He advocates three civic virtues, which he calls service, learning, and community building. Civic engagement based on these virtues is the key to changing the perverse incentives that lead to bitter partisanship, media bias, and political corruption.

"This award has once again given me the opportunity to make a difference and help move America forward," Aull stated. “I wrote The Triad because I had witnessed public life in the United States steadily deteriorate for 30 years.  We now see our country bitterly divided, our public discourse debased, our institutions dysfunctional, and our level of trust low. What is the underlying cause of this decline?  What do we need to do better?  It boils down to active citizenship based on these core virtues.” 

Aull points out that the 2016 election shows the symptoms of the problem.  “After a prolonged media circus, the major parties nominated two candidates that were widely distrusted. In the final election, voter turnout hit a 20-year low.  More voters sat it out than voted for either candidate.  ‘None of the above’ won the popular vote.” 

"But,” Aull also says, “the amount of voter discontent may be a hopeful sign.  This was the first presidential election I can remember in which political corruption was a motivating issue for many voters across the ideological spectrum.  2016 was a year of populist sentiment, where many voters rebelled against 'establishment politicians.'  The dictionary defines a populist as a 'believer in the rights, wisdom, or virtues of the common people.'

"Populism has promise.  Common people, for example, could build a popular movement to clean up corruption in government and elevate the level of ethics, transparency, and responsiveness to the common good.

"Populism also has dangers. In many countries, dictators have risen to power through populist appeals. They often scapegoated certain segments of society. Rather than calling forth the wisdom or virtues of common people, they played on their fears and aroused hatred. It’s all too easy to think of examples of this and how badly they turned out.

"How, then, can we redeem the promise of populism and avoid the danger? That is the subject of 'The Triad', a new and updated edition of which will come out next month. The Triad is about the civic virtues that make the difference. The United States is a republic, which has to do with what its citizens do every two years when they go to the polls. But there are people working to create democracy, which has to do with what citizens do between elections.  As an example, the book cites a case in which a diverse group of residents of a small town in the deep South worked together to create unity and revitalize the local economy.  When I speak of ‘democracy,’ then, I’m referring to this kind of strengthening of locally rooted civic life.”  

Aull also stresses the importance of education.  “A longer-term goal is to strengthen social studies and civics education in the schools. This is not just learning about government or history, but also hands-on civic problem solving such as organizing and facilitating town meetings on local issues. If we want better government, then we need to raise up new generations of active citizens with civic participation skills and an understanding of science, history, and the wider world."

'The Triad' is not another book about politics. While other books about politics or political science study the system’s failures, Aull's book proposes actions to promote the renewal of democratic life in the United States.

'The Triad' has received praise from a number of reviewers. Terrence Metz, Founding Principle and Partner at Morgan Madison and Company said the book is, "A wonderful approach about how to live in a democracy . . . any democracy." Peter Levine at Tufts University stated that 'The Triad' is "movingly and impressively written."  Badi Foster of Northwestern’s Buffett Institute said that the book “helps us have the kinds of conversations that heal rather than divide the nation.”

Brian Aull is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at bfaull19@gmail.com. 'The Triad' is available at Amazon. More information is available at his website at http://www.AwakenDemocracy.com.

About Brian Aull:

Brian Aull is from Indianapolis, Indiana. He studied electrical engineering at Purdue University and then at MIT, earning his Ph.D. in 1985. Since then, he has worked as a staff scientist at MIT developing solid-state image sensors.  He is also a passionate educator, teaching electrical engineering courses at Tufts University.  He spent one year as a visiting professor at the National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan.

A resident of Cambridge, Massachusetts, he is active in the local community. He served on the boards of the Cambridge Peace Commission and the Coalition for a Strong United Nations.  He has taught spiritual education classes for children living in Cambridge.  The Triad was inspired in part by his many conversations with residents and local activists.

Brenda Thornlow, Author Of ‘My Short-Lived Life At Being Perfect’, Named As Winner In ‘50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’ Book Awards

Brenda Thornlow was picked from a field of hundreds of authors who appeared on The Authors Show. Brenda Thornlow's book, titled ‘My Short-Lived Life at Being Perfect’, details Brenda's escape from a religious cult and an abusive marriage.

Brenda Thornlow, author of ‘My Short-Lived Life at Being Perfect’, has been named as a winner in the ’50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’ Book Awards Contest. Her honors came as a result of her appearance on The Authors Show. Brenda was chosen from a field of hundreds of authors through a public voting process. ‘My Short-Lived Life at Being Perfect’ is a memoir, detailing her escape from a religious cult and an abusive marriage.

Brenda shares her story of being raised a third-generation member of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, forbidden from celebrating holidays, birthdays and associating with anyone outside of her faith. From a young age, she struggles to accept what her devout family believes, to no avail. Eventually marrying an abusive member with a position of authority in her church, Brenda struggles to extricate herself from this dominating religious group who attempt to manipulate her into staying married to her abuser.

“I am so grateful to all my readers for, not only taking an interest in my work, but for also believing in me and choosing to vote for me out of hundreds of other writers. Thank you so much for this honor.”

Brenda is the author of five published books:

'My Life as I Knew It' (fiction/fantasy) - The first book in a time travel series. Brianna one morning wakes up on her birthday to find that she has traveled 17 years back in time and 3,000 miles away from her home. Brianna is now faced with returning to a life she hoped to never have to think about again, much less relive.

'Life, As Is' (fiction/fantasy) - The second book in my time travel series. Brianna travels forward in time to discover that she has been living the life of someone she does not recognize nor admire.

'A Godless Love' (erotica) - A married couple who live an unconventional life and are members of a controlling religious group have their private lives invaded and dissected by their church.

'My Short-Lived Life at Being Perfect' (memoir) - Brenda's story about escaping a religious cult and abusive marriage.

'The Revolving Door: A Short Story' (fiction/short story) - A story about four people living in New York and the complications within their relationships.

Currently, she working on the third book in her time travel series titled ‘Life Reversed’ as well as a stand-alone romance novel titled ‘The Rest of Me.’

'My Short-Lived Life at Being Perfect' has received rave reviews. A recent Amazon review stated, “For those of us who have suffered abuse, a voice that eloquently expresses what it feels like when our nearest and dearest fail us. A must read for all.” Another said, "Very interesting look into a highly religious sect. It gives an outsider a view of how restrictive the JW lifestyle is and how difficult it is to be an individual or break away from the group. Kudos to Brenda for being able to do both and having the strength to write about her struggles. A highly recommended read."

Brenda Thornlow is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below, or by email at bk42author@gmail.com. All of her books are available at online retail book outlets. More information is available at Brenda's website at https://mylifeasiknewitblog.wordpress.com.

Saving Our Children From A Dire Future - Children's Book Author Dr Nicole Offers The One Solution To The Many Problems Our Children Will Face

Dr. Nicole is a best-selling author, based in Quebec, who writes children’s books that educate, inspire and teach valuable life lessons.

Our children face issues that we have never faced - global warming, potential famine, water shortages and a host of other issues that are not just urgent - they threaten their very existence. Are our children being taught the skills that will allow them to thrive? To survive? How can we prepare our children and grandchildren for situations with which we have had very little or even no experience? How can we show them the way, when we don't even know the way?

Simply put, we must teach them critical thinking skills. For without the ability to solve new unexpected problems, there may be little hope. Rote memorization of facts or test taking skills will accomplish very little in regards to preparing children for the future. It is instead necessary to instill in our children and grandchildren the desire and the ability to solve problems through critical thinking.

Dr. Nicole writes children's books. In the traditions of Walt Disney and Dr. Seuss, Dr. Nicole breathes life into inanimate objects and wildly entertaining characters that engage children in powerful ways. Through parent/child interaction, her works develop a love for reading while helping children develop the most important skill of all - critical thinking. While her children's book are very successful, few people know that she has received international acclaim and awards for books that help adults develop critical thinking skills.

Dr. Nicole holds a Master's Degree in Critical Thinking Evaluation and a Master's Degree in Medical Education - Université Laval. Her thesis was entitled, "How to measure critical reading in medical students." She published the result in two international peer reviewed medical journals.

In 1996 her medical textbook received international acclaim. 'Epidémiologie and Critical Reading for Medical and Health Science Professional Students' was awarded first place by Paris medical magazine Prescire. In 1992 she published 'Read or Not Read: How to Critically Appraise a Medical Study' for medical professionals. In 1993 she published 'How to Run a Medical Journal Club'. In 2007 she published 'How to Write a Scientific Medical Review' for authors to guide them on medical writing. She was also Editor in Chief of a Quebec Medical Magazine that published 120-200 pages on a monthly basis and was distributed 20,000 doctors. 

"My true intentions regarding being an author are to inspire children to read, to set their imaginations free and to encourage good decision making regarding health, safety and moral responsibility," Dr. Nicole stated. "Stories and tales are good tools to teach this important skill. Caregivers can discuss about characters, conflicts and the conclusion with young readers who learn how read and think beyond the words. Writing children’s books is a way for me to give back and be a positive source to the community. I hope that my books inspire children to set their minds free and work to make the world a better place."

Dr. Nicole’s children's books have a large number of industry awards. She was recently chosen as one of '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' in the 2016 Book Awards'. She also received recognition as one of Quebec's Top 10 Women in a recent ceremony held by the Maman Dion Foundation. The Maman Dion foundation was founded by Thérèse Tanguay-Dion, known as Maman Dion, a television personality and the mother of Céline Dion. 

Dr. Nicole has sold over 150,000 books in her career. She is highly regarded for her work with children’s books and a health guide for families. Her goals are to create in children a love for reading and to create interaction and engagement.

No-charge copies of her self-published books are available for University teachers, journalists and members of the media who provide email, website, mail address and phone number or by direct request to www.AuthorHouse.com.

Dr. Nicole is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below. Journalists who wish to receive a copy of the books for review or might wish to schedule an interview can email info@drnicolebook.com.

Multi-Award Winning Author Dana Lyons Announces Epic Reincarnation Romance Novel, 'A Love Reborn'

Lyons brings readers stories no one else could write. Her books feature quantum level adventures that combine science with spirituality.Lyons brings readers stories no one else could write. Her books feature quantum level adventures that combine science with spirituality.

Multi-award winning author Dana Lyons has announced a recent epic reincarnation romance release, 'A Love Reborn'.

Dana Lyons creates stories no one else could write. Her books feature reincarnated lovers, time traveling souls, and an epic battle against ancient powers and alien forces. All of her books are fast paced, engaging and enlightening, written in contemporary time with modern elements as well as scenes from the ancient past. She takes her readers to worlds both ancient and contemporary for adventures of the heart, mind, and spirit.

In the storyline of the book, archeologist Phoenix Donovan is warned, “Two men will arrive from your past: one bears deceit; one brings love.”

Phoenix scoffs at the mysterious warnings given to her by a psychic during a tarot card reading. But the words of the psychic begin to ring true when she receives an envelope marked with the Feather of Maat, and a visit from Egyptian national, Asa Ducaine. With the offer of a job of a lifetime, Phoenix travels to an ancient, pristine site near Egypt that dates back to 8,000 B.C.E.

Why is she here? Why does it all seem so familiar? Why is she afraid?

After ten days in a coma, Max Parrish awakens with memories of a past life and a woman he has to find at all cost. Driven beyond reason to the sands of northern Africa, he comes face to face with a love he couldn’t have imagined, along with a dark and deadly magic that could destroy more than just their lives.

Are second chances possible?

"'A Love Reborn' is a modern paranormal thriller about ancient love, magic, and betrayal," Dana stated. "Because love is a physical energy that comes from your heart and fills your world with a specific vibration, and, if energy cannot be destroyed and the soul is eternal, then the premise of this story--reincarnated lovers reborn to fulfill a cosmic karma and destiny--resonates with a thrilling possibility. We all endeavor to find such a love to enrich our lives, compel our hearts, and satisfy our souls."

Dana Lyons' books have received rave reviews posted on line. One review stated, "I was absolutely spell bound by the fast-paced adventure of A Love Reborn! Once the ride began, I could not put my hands down! Phoenix Donavan's life carried me away to a land filled with ancient mysteries, magic and steamy romance. It was a delicious romp of the senses, which left me breathless in anticipation and wanting more."

Another said, "This was my second Dana Lyons book, and it was even better than the first. The characters literally "sprang to life" before my eyes - I felt like a silent observer sitting in the room with them. Dana's intertwining of the past and present is well done - it never feels clunky or awkward. The love scenes are phenomenal. All in all, another great Dana Lyons experience!"

Dana has been named as a winner in the 2016 ’50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’ Book Awards. Her honors came as a result of her appearance on The Authors Show. She was chosen as one of the best from a large number of authors through a public voting process. She was previously a winner in the 2015 '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' Awards.

Her body of work also includes:

'The Road to Babylon', an epic paranormal thriller revolving around a prophecy so ancient the world had long forgotten it, and a power so secret, even its possessor was unaware of it.

'Heart of the Druae', a paranormal romance that relates the tale of archeologist Eric Beck. On an unexplored hill near Stonehenge, something calls to him. Someone calls to him. And on the day of the summer solstice, his entire existence is about to change …

'The Rosetta Coin', another epic paranormal thriller detailing the story of an artifact many have died for and an adventure that could change the world.

Dana Lyons is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at author.danalyons@yahoo.com. All of Dana's books are available at Amazon and other online retail outlets. More information is available at her website at http://www.ParanormalRomanceBookAuthor.com.

Becky Feola, Author Of The Eldercare Consultant, Named As Winner In ‘50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’ Book Awards

Becky Feola was picked from a field of hundreds of authors who appeared on The Authors Show. Becky Feola's book, entitled ‘The Eldercare Consultant', is the ultimate guide to making senior life decisions

Becky Feola, author of ‘The Eldercare Consultant, Your Guide to Making the Best Choices Possible’, has been named as a winner in the ’50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’ Book Awards Contest. Her honors came as a result of her appearance on The Authors Show. Becky Feola was chosen from a field of hundreds of authors through a public voting process. ‘The Eldercare Consultant, Your Guide to Making the Best Choices Possible’, is a comprehensive and easy to understand handbook that clearly outlines strategies for assessing a senior’s needs, identifying the best types of assistance, and how to find and put that support in place. Other important topics include how to pay for care, managing family dynamics, handling change and juggling everyone’s needs.

“I am honored," Becky stated, "to be included in this year’s ’50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading'. 'The Eldercare Consultant' was a direct result of having worked with over a thousand families dealing with aging/ill loved ones and having them insist that I needed to write a book detailing what I had explained to them so that I could reach even more families.  This award validates that need and I appreciate the recognition.  It is my greatest desire to use this honor to be able to promote The Eldercare Consultant and provide assistance to as many families as possible.”

Born to be a writer, Becky always loved creating characters and narratives with a special affinity for ghost stories. As an adult her desire to write was put on hold, as a result of life’s twists and turns. By the age of 45, Becky was widowed after supporting her husband through his 11-year battle with Huntington’s Disease. During his final days, she once again felt the presence of spirits and she knew he was passing between worlds. The experience re-ignited her desire to be a writer, as she began the next chapter of her own life.

Feola's first book, 'The Eldercare Consultant', provides readers with the knowledge, support, and encouragement they need. Weaving together real-life stories with the essential information needed to make the best decisions, this compassionate and practical guide helps readers:

* Spot warning signs of physical and mental decline
* Recognize when a loved one needs assistance
* Determine the level of care needed
* Evaluate the options—family caregiver, home health care, palliative care and more
* Understand and manage the costs of care
* Make the adjustment as smooth as possible
* Avoid caregiver burnout
* And much more

'The Eldercare Consultant' has a 100% 5 star rating on Amazon. A recent Amazon review stated, “Until you are faced with the emotionally-charged challenge associated with locating, securing, and transitioning a loved one to the appropriate living environment, you cannot fully appreciate the immensity of the task. I will be eternally grateful to Becky for helping me through the process when my Mother reached the point where she could no longer live alone. This book provides a treasure of resources and carefully walks you through every conceivable consideration to ensure the perfect selection is made for your loved one.”

Becky also bring her talent to the fiction genre. Her first novel, 'Winter’s Child', set in 1928 in Jerome, Arizona tells the tale of the murder of Josephine Wheaton and her unborn child. After spending extensive time in Jerome, including stays at the famous Grand Hotel, the story of Winter’s Child came to Becky in a vision. Following one of her visits, Becky awoke with the concept for the book, which is currently in production.

Becky Feola is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below, or by email at beckyfeola@gmail.com. ‘The Eldercare Consultant, Your Guide to Making the Best Choices Possible’ is available at online retail book outlets. More information is available at Becky Feola's website at http://www.beckyfeola.com.

About Becky Feola:

Award winning author Becky Feola learned the value of hard work and life while being raised on remote cattle ranches in Arizona and Wyoming. During those early years, she developed a keen sense of service and nurturing towards other living creatures while caring for orphaned calves, sick kittens and her colt, Little George.

Later in life, she would find herself immersed in an 11-year battle as caregiver after her husband was diagnosed with Huntington’s Disease. The day her husband tried to strangle her during a frightening hallucination was the day Becky’s life would change forever. After that incident and subsequent hospitalization, the doctors told her that her husband would never be coming home again. This led to a frantic search for a professional care facility that would tend for her beloved's needs as well or better than she could.

Once he passed away in 2005, Becky healed herself by creating two businesses devoted to helping other caregivers find ethical and moral solutions to their needs — The NJF Center for Caregivers and Assisted Living Advantage. Now, she has taken that passion a step further with her book 'The Eldercare Consultant, Your Guide to Making the Best Choices Possible'.

Becky lives in Phoenix, Arizona and while continuing to provide eldercare services, she is currently working on a novel series.

Cold War Immigration, The Reagan Years And Immigration Today - David Michael Palladino's 'Quest For Freedom' Provides A Stunning Look At 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 political issues today. On one side are those who want to build walls and fences, require stringent background checks and deport illegal aliens. On the other side are those who would open the doors wide. Why such a disconnect today? Who is correct?

Both sides are right.

The real question is not whether immigration is good for the country or bad for the country. The real question is the intent of the immigrant. It is a subtle point, and one that is very easy to miss.

Immigration and defection to the USA used to be about people's desire to live in freedom, escape repression, and the aspiration to improve the lives of themselves and their families. For some immigrants, that is still true today. But there are others whose only desire is to qualify for handouts or to perhaps accomplish a terrorist agenda.

“I wrote Book I, ‘Quest for Freedom’ in dedication to the great President Ronald Reagan and to those who were his children; the U.S. Special Operations personnel of 1980 through 1988," Palladino stated. "He loved us and we loved him back.

"I’ve written Book II, ‘Western Odyssey’ in dedication to all of those who, in 2016, have taken action and elected a new president who may give us, as a nation, one last surge to greatness. Here's to one more chance. May we never again take it for granted.”

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."

Watch for Book II, Adriana Corderu: Western Odyssey, scheduled for release in June, 2017.

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 at http://www.inspirationalbookauthor.com.

What The Afterlife Is Like - Multi Award Winning Author Brian McLaughlin Chosen As One Of '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' For 2016

McLaughlin's book about NDE, 'A Flight Without Wings - My Experience With Heaven' details his totally unique near death experience. It is raw and it's real. There is no embellishment, no preaching and no hidden agenda.

Brian McLaughlin, author of 'A Flight Without Wings' has been chosen as one of 50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' in the 2016 Book Awards program. McLaughlin was chosen from a field of hundreds of authors through a public voting process. This is the second year in a row he has qualified for the award.

Brian McLaughlin is one of very few people who have had the near death experience. The simple message he offers as the result of his NDE holds the key to peace, freedom from fear and the power to change the world and everyone and everything in it.

Brian McLaughlin shows us clearly in his book how, through a single key concept, we can experience a life filled with peace in the midst of discord. We can find freedom from fear when faced with uncertainty. We can overcome any form of anxiety, even while facing down threats from within and without. Depression, despair and dismay can easily be transformed into peace, confidence, contentment and joy in one single stroke. What is this most powerful concept that will allow us achieve these states?

The key is to accept that the afterlife really does exist - without question. This has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with truth. While the afterlife cannot be proven using a scientific method based in the physical, it can be proven through one's experience. McLaughlin is one of very few people who have had that experience. He speaks from that experience and his readers and audiences reap the benefits.

Recently McLaughlin stated:  “Each Near Death Experience that people might return from, offer similarities. The differences appear to be mostly in the different presentations. Although I never set out to write something to be specifically “different” from most of the other accounts, it became unique by the way it spoke to the readers.

"In explaining my experience in my book, I tried to engage the readers by being honest and simple.  I left room for each individual to gather support of their own belief systems without having to subscribe to anything outside their ‘comfort zone’ .  I have stated before that my concept of Heaven was not met in my experience, but it was never the less, profound in its own right.

"I was not disappointed in what I saw and felt, it just lacked the fanciful pre-conceived notion that I had of Heaven.  I didn’t make the comparison until I returned,  when I thought back and realized that I hadn’t  seen any halos or wings or archangels.  What I experienced was pure and simple.”

'A Flight Without Wings' offers readers a look at the near death experience from an unbiased point of view. It is the presentation of the material that sets this book apart from the other books about the near death experience. It is raw and it's real. There is no embellishment and no hidden agenda. While his book has a spiritual flavor certainly, there is no preaching and no religious messages. It is his near-death experience, just as it happened.

McLaughlin's experience 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 and it is that message he hopes to bring back in the interest of giving back. It is that simple message he offers to his audience through his book, at his speaking engagements and in his media appearances.

Brian's upcoming media engagements include:

Chapters Rap TV - Dr. Jeff Fox, Pure Dental. Dr. Fox traveled with Medical Wings International, a team of ten medical, dental and vision care professionals along with in-country American Airlines employee partnership, joined forces and committed their resources towards helping those less fortunate than themselves. They treated over 1200 patients in a non-stop, three day medical mission and provided services to the people of Ataco, El Salvador.

Reviews of 'A Flight Without Wings' have been overwhelmingly positive. Dr. Penny Sartori, author of 'The Wisdom of Near-Death Experiences', said "This book will help others who have had an NDE to make sense of their experience and will also help those close to someone who has had an NDE because NDEs affect close family members and friends too."

Jack Magnus, a reviewer with Readers Favorite, called the book a "well written and moving memoir that neither delves into the fanciful or dogmatic,...”  "…Well worth reading, and is highly recommended." Another 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.
