Pandemic, Climate Change, Social Media, Bullying, Anxiety And Lockdowns - Selfie Videos And Selfie Films Wanted For The Selfie Project Presented By Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein


Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein is an award winning Selfie Filmmaker, Positive Psychologist and podcaster who helps us overcome anxiety and alienation through multiple media channels.

Today, more than any other time in history, it is young people who represent our hopes for the future. They have and will continue to bear the brunt of climate change, social media bullying, lockdowns, school shootings and the inability to attend classes, proms and graduation ceremonies due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein hopes to give our young people a real voice. To that end, she has announced a new collection of films on the SelfieFilmmakers.com site. Her hope is to create a video historical record of the effects of the pandemic on people of all ages. The public will help create this historical record via selfie videos and selfie films. Members of the public who are 13 and older can submit their selfie videos or selfie films for the project. The collection is available at http://www.selfiefilmmakers.com.

Dr. Holstein is actively seeking selfie videos and selfie films for the following categories:

Pandemic
Climate Change
Social Media
Anxiety
Lockdowns
Crushes
Bullying
Moving
Friends
Voting
Homework
Secrets
Humor
Sharing Feelings
Asking For Help
Creating Drama

and many more. New categories are currently being added to the project. Categories can be created if a submitted video or film does not fit into the categories currently available. Contact Dr. Holstein for more details.

Dr. Holstein comments: "What does one do to stay sane when the world is struggling with a Pandemic that is invading everyone's way of life? One way to stay healthy, emotionally, is to make lemons into lemonade. One way I have been doing this and encouraging others to come and join me is to become a Historian of the Pandemic. Who better to record the actual happenings, both tragic and at times uplifting, that are going on around us than us?

"We can record selfie films and videos of the moment. In 1918 the technology went as far as photos and some films. Most people couldn't afford or know how to use those devices. Now just about everyone has a cell phone or a smartphone or an easy to use video recorder.

"It has become my mission to encourage each person to do some recording, whether one asks the 4 year old down the block what he misses during the pandemic or one interviews a grandmother about how this pandemic is the same or different from what she remembers her grandparents told her about the pandemic of 1918.

"I'm so excited about this project as it makes us all special in a new way. We have a chance to record history and historians in the future will benefit from our information.

"I am looking for more temporary historians to help with this project. One young lady, Julia Gesner, is already working on the Pandemic History Project with me. Here is what she has to say: 'I plan to show how various age groups and professions have been affected by the pandemic through a series of films and possibly one big documentary. Whether it be school or the work field, everyone has been impacted by the pandemic in some type of way. Through a cross section of interviews, news clips and personal stories, we will see how the COVID-19 pandemic is one for the history books!"

Dr. Holstein's cutting edge presentations, most recently based on the Covid-19 pandemic issues, can be found on both Youtube, Vimeo and on the Roku channel and Amazon Fire TV, titled as 'The Enchanted Self Presents'. Many of Dr. Holstein's short Selfie films are available on Amazon, released by MRG Collective, title: The Selfie Project, Volume 1.

Dr. Holstein recently created The Selfie Showcase, a new project emerging from The Selfie Project, that allows young people to voice their opinions on subjects that matter to young people. She is now accepting submissions from the public for the "Selfie Showcase" and is actively seeking change-makers and mental health professionals to appear on her monthly video podcasts.

The Selfie Showcase allows kids, teens, and young adults ages 13 to 18 to candidly express their concerns, worries, observations and possible solutions by creating selfie videos or films around important subjects, using a smartphone. Dr. Holstein's mission is to help rectify, in a number of ways, some of the issues young people face by giving them a chance to engage with others in meaningful ways about the anxiety and stress they must grapple with constantly.

Selected participants may appear on the Selfie Project Channel, available on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3uaOTcYF70z5CpBh11VoUQ. They will also appear in the Selfie Showcase on SelfieFilmmakers.com. They will receive a certificate of merit and may be invited to be on Holstein's monthly podcast or perhaps be a part of her next film. Full details, rules for submission and helpful hints can be accessed at the Selfie Filmmakers site at http://www.selfiefilmmakers.com/instructions.

Dr. Holstein's unique Selfie Films have taken many awards and have been shown in many film festivals and competitions. Most notable among these are:

The Selfie Project - Accepted at 20 film festivals or film competitions

Conflict and A Bit Of Magic: A Coming Of Age Selfie Film - Accepted at 19 film festivals or film competitions

Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction: A Coming of Age Selfie Film - Accepted at 16 film festivals or film competitions. Also, the song ‘Truths Change and Still Remain’ won an award at the Florence film Festival.

Secrets: A Coming of Age Selfie Film - Accepted at 9 film festivals or film competitions

Lockdown - Accepted at 14 film festivals or film competitions

The Truth: A Short Film - Accepted at 8 film festivals or film competitions. The Song from this film won an award for the best Pop Song of 2016 at the Garden State Film Festival.

Falling in Love, A Coming of Age, Selfie Film-Accepted at 15 film festivals or film competitions.

'Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction, A Coming Of Age Selfie Film', and 'The Selfie Project' both directed and created by Dr. Holstein, was shown in Manhattan on February 26 in the Anthology Building as part of the NewFilmmakers Special Program on Women Filmmakers.

Holstein's podcast series is actively seeking change-makers and visionaries to appear on her monthly podcasts. Dr. Holstein hopes to feature members of traditional media, mental health professionals and educators who can make a real difference in the lives of young people. Many of the podcasts feature young people - to give them a voice regarding their concerns and their solutions. Guests, if accepted, can arrange to appear by contacting Dr. Holstein directly.

Dr. Holstein also makes a number of her books and films available to be used as fundraising tools. She requests that any verified charitable organization interested in raising funds contact her via email.

Covid-19: A Child's View - New Film By Award Winning Author And Film Maker Cheryl Williams Now Available

Williams took top honors in the Top Female Author awards program for her recent book, 'A Collection Of Poems: A Journey Through Life'. She has released 3 films dealing with the pandemic.

The primary focus of our attention during the pandemic has been on the older generation, those most at risk of dying from Covid-19. Many of us forget that this insidious virus also attacks young people. Cheryl Williams, a Covid-19 survivor and school nurse naturally takes an avid interest in how the pandemic is affecting all young people, including the students with whom she normally engages every day.

Williams, the award winning author of 'A Collection Of Poems: A Journey Through Life', is also a talented film maker and musician. She recently released a new video entitled "Covid-19: A Child's View." The new film is a penetrating look into the experiences of those whose young lives have been affected. The new film is available at Youtube at https://youtu.be/MiL3NMtsKhM.

"This pandemic has been a shock to all of our systems," Williams stated. "It has robbed us of our freedoms and life as we once knew it. So many adults are inundated with difficult choices every day and we sometimes overlook the fact that kids are also victims of this pandemic.

"Kids are also worried and concerned about losing their freedoms. They are also stressed about all these changes and protocols. Many children have contracted this virus over the course of the last few months: some asymptomatic or with mild symptoms, some very ill with lingering effects and others who unfortunately aren’t alive today to tell their story.

"It’s obvious that this pandemic is extremely mentally taxing on our children. As a result, it was imperative for me to check in on them and see how they were coping. I felt that speaking with the children gave them an opportunity to open up and unburden.

"In this YouTube video, "Covid-19: A Child’s View", we can listen to the kids as they speak about their experiences and perspectives surrounding the virus and this pandemic.

"I also had a chance to speak with Anthony, the fourteen year old Covid survivor, who was featured in my last segment Covid-19 and My Child. Since my last video and article, Anthony’s story was aired on News 12 Long Island and featured in the the Deer Park-North Babylon NY Patch
https://patch.com/new-york/deerpark-northbabylon/mom-whose-son-14-had-coronavirus-urges-back-school-caution

"Covid-19 is still a mystery as there are many misconceptions when it comes to this virus. Many people still disbelieve the existence of this virus, while others are convinced that children are merely carriers and only become ill if they have a pre-existing condition. In actuality, we have seen the opposite effect. Many healthy children and adults have been put in serious life-altering dilemmas regarding this virus and many losing their lives in the process.

"The existence of Covid-19 is a loss to all of us. We feel frustrated, hopeless, helpless and confused. Although life seems chaotic and at times we are on different sides of the fence, the fact of the matter is; the first step to bringing this pandemic to an end is to accept the reality that this virus is real.

"The only way to stop it is to work together as a team and do all that we can to make a difference. As I told the children: teamwork is the first step in making a dream work. If our dream is to get rid of the coronavirus and end this pandemic once and for all, cooperating together as a team is the smartest way forward."

Williams also recently posted a mesmerizing account of her coronavirus experience in a Youtube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpN7nMt8gf0&t=91s.

Williams was named Top Female Author in the 2019 Top Female Author Awards in the poetry category. The win came as the result of her most recent book, 'A Collection Of Poems: A Journey Through Life'. Williams was chosen from a field of hundreds of authors by a panel of judges.

Writing has helped Williams connect with her inner self, finding positive ways to cope with life's struggles. She has been writing and singing for as long as she can remember.

Throughout her childhood she sang in both the church and school choir, and also enjoyed singing at talent shows and music festivals. As an adult she also participated in concerts, performing as a solo artist.

Music and writing are the tools that bring her fulfillment and healing. Her book, 'A Collection Of Poems', takes us through the power of the human mind, good or bad, and its impact on one's direction and journey through life.

With the help of music, writing, and positive thinking, Williams found hope and purpose in life. Life isn't fair. It is unpredictable, bad things happen to good people, and we never know what tomorrow holds. Cheryl wants her readers to realize that even when faced with insurmountable, hopeless situations, even when life seems dark and uncertain, we should never let go of hope and appreciate the beauty and blessings that life has to offer, making the most of every day, loving, living, laughing, and learning. Seasons change, and there is always a rainbow after the storms of life.

Cheryl Williams is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at cherylw27@aol.com. 'A Collection Of Poems: A Journey Through Life' is available at Amazon. More information, including a number of videos and a collection of music, is available at her website at https://cherylhot6.wixsite.com/cherylpwilliams.

About Cheryl Williams:

Cheryl Williams is a wife, mother, author, and nurse by profession, with a passion for the Arts.

Her love for poetry started at the tender age of five when she recited the poem "Grandfather Frog” for a school function. Six years later, her world was turned upside down after her mother suffered a massive stroke. During those uncertain times, music, writing, and poetry helped her cope.

As a teenager, whenever she wasn’t caring for her mother, Cheryl spent her free time writing and directing short plays as a form of entertainment for the children in her neighborhood.

She enjoyed singing in the church and school choir, while also performing publicly as a soloist in concerts and talent shows. As a result of her mother’s illness and her responsibility to help care for her, Cheryl was inspired to pursue nursing as a way to help others heal; the same way writing and music helped her find a path to healing. She resides in New York.

Tales2Inspire® Inspiring Stories Wins National Indie Excellence Award

 

'Tales2Inspire®' is an ongoing series of books that are inspiring and motivating. 'Tales2Inspire - The Diamond Collection III’ was drawn from two other Tales2Inspire® collections.

Lois W. Stern is a great believer in reaching out to help other authors, and now, having just received a coveted Finalist Award for her latest anthology, Tales2Inspire ~ The Diamond Collection-Series III, she has reaffirmed her belief in also reaching out to help herself.

"As a child," Stern stated, "I often heard these words, spoken by the noted scholar, Hillel: 'If I’m not for myself, who will be for me. If I’m only for myself, what am I? If not now, when?' Somehow those words must have become indelibly etched in my mind, because helping other authors has become an important part of my life’s work."

Along with her other writing accomplishments, since her retirement Lois has made it part of her life’s work to help other talented authors get the name recognition they deserve. And so, in 2012 she started her Tales2Inspire® ‘Authors Helping Authors' project/contest, as a way to recognize authors of the most inspiring stories that match the selected theme for that year. Although she has never charged authors to participate, to her surprise she has discovered that the more she helps lend others a helping hand, the more she continues to help brand herself.

This year Lois tried something new, proving that she could also be ‘for herself’. She combined all the stories from two Tales2Inspire Collections: (The Pearl: Stories of Awesome Kids) and (The Garnet: Stories in Feathers and Fur) into one larger anthology titled Tales2Inspire ~ The Diamond Collection - Series III, and entered it into a contest. To her great delight, she was notified that it was selected Finalist in the prestigious National Indie Excellence Award.

How Tales2Inspire® works: Each year Lois selects a new theme and first screens all submitted stories, accepting only those she thinks have a good shot in her annual competition. Then she sends each of those stories to a jury composed of three of those other authors, who use her click, click, click automated evaluation form for scoring, and also write a brief critique to give that author possible content editing suggestions. Each author then gets a second chance to edit their work.There are no submission fees. Each published story ends with a personal author bio page and their headshot. Winning authors receive many no-charge platform-building opportunities to set them on the path to discovery.

To be assured that each submitted story is true, Lois asks authors to submit at least one original photograph with their story to help authenticate its veracity. But even she didn’t realize the additional power photos would lend to these stories until she started reading Amazon posted reviews. Fans of Chicken Soup for the Soul are particularly enamored of Tales2Inspire books, commented on how much more they enjoyed the ‘Tales2Inspire’ stories, calling them more authentic and stating how much the inclusion of photos further enhanced the power of each story.

Because each of the stories included in any of the Tales2Inspire® collections is selected for its inspirational value, these books make ideal gifts for both those seeking a simple pick-me-up as well as those looking for uplifting, motivational messages presented in a very powerful way. Lois likes to remind those giving Tales2Inspire® books as gifts to take a moment to do this first: “Write a short message inside the front cover telling that person why they are special to you. I can almost guarantee that in that way, you are giving a cherished gift with lasting impact, (rather than a box of chocolates that disappears in a day or two.)" Each ‘Tales2Inspire’ book is filled with inspiring stories written by her winning authors. Their uplifting messages of hope and motivation make them appropriate reading for any age group.

More than a creation, ‘Tales2Inspire’ has become a passion, to which Lois dedicates over 100 hours per week. She has now published ten inspiring story anthologies, each with a separate theme, including ’Beyond Coincidence’, ‘Personal Awakenings’, ‘Gifts of Compassion’, ‘Awesome Kids’, ‘Stories of Feathers & Fur’ and others.

Dealing With The Death Of A Loved One And Finding Hope And Healing - Sibling Loss, A Sister's Journey From Despair To Celebration Now Available

 

Laura Prince's new book detailing the death of her brother has been called "insightful", "powerful" "vivid" "absorbing" and "spellbinding".

As of this date, 156,000 deaths have occurred as a result of the Covid-19 virus. That means 156,000 grieving families. The recent explosion in Lebanon has thus far taken another 100, Hurricane Isais 6.

For all of us, death is a certainty. If given time to prepare, the sting is perhaps lessened a bit. It is the untimely deaths we experience that can give rise to depression and, for some, a sense of hopelessness. Learning how to handle the grief surrounding the death of a loved one is one of the most important things we can do, if we hope to live rich, full lives and avoid the traps of despondency and pessimism. Some of us can, given the right mindset, journey from despair to celebration.

Sibling Loss: A Sister's Journey From Despair To Celebration is a first-person account of one of the most devastating and least talked about subjects: a child or young person’s loss of a sibling. Laura Prince shares her decades-long process of healing that is a lifelong struggle.

Grief and hope are intertwined. When faced with the inevitable grief of losing a loved one, something that will happen to all of us many times, we are forced to choose between hope and despair. To find either, we must look within. This is a book that brings hope. It gives us a path out of the ever-present darkness and leads us instead to appreciation. Above all, it shows us that we should never take our loved ones for granted.

Laura Prince shares her story and her many insights into the numbing grief that surrounds such a loss. Recovering from the sudden death of her beloved brother over the course of many years, Prince openly and candidly examines the pitfalls and surprising triumphs of grieving. She offers readers a window into her world and allows us to share in her sadness—and in the eventual celebration of her brother as she slowly works her way into a place of quiet joy and gratitude.

Readers and reviewers alike have praised Sibling Loss. One called it "The best story illustrating the long term consequences of unresolved childhood grief that I have seen." Another said, "Sibling Loss: A Sister's Journey from Despair to Celebration is an excellent read and one I would recommend to everyone."

Allan Schnarr, of the Center for Grief Recovery in Chicago said, "Sibling Loss is not a book you read at a dispassionate distance. It is not for you if you choose to avoid facing your losses, not unless you become willing to turn around and face yourself. The reading is a deeply personal encounter with Laura, as she lays bare the unspeakable tragedy of the death of her beloved brother. As you encounter Laura, the mirror she offers will draw you in to the journey inside your own broken heart . . .There is so much to learn here about longing for love, losing love, and searching for it unwaveringly. This is the thread weaving Laura’s narrative. It is at the archetypal core of each journey through life, love lost and found.

"Laura makes it clear that fully grieving the loss of love brings one to a new home, a renewed discovery of love, a love strong enough and wise enough to walk through each new loss with durable, irrepressible grace. Thank you Laura”

Laura’s story, 'Sibling Loss, A Sister's Journey from Despair to Celebration', is a book that would be appropriate for anyone who has ever lost, or will ever lose a sibling. That would be nearly all of us.

Laura Prince is available for media interviews and can be reached by email at laura.prince.book@gmail.com or by using the information below. The book is available at Amazon. More information is available at Prince's website at http://www.siblinglossbook.blogspot.com.

Tyler Perry's Message At Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church Was A Miracle Message For Award Winning Author Donna Louis

 Louis is the multi-award-winning author of two Christian books, 'Miracles of Direction' and 'Book of Proverbs: Wisdom Vs Wilderness'. Louis’ books reveal God’s desire for our happiness and joy.

Miracles do not necessarily have to be of a supernatural nature. Sometimes miracles happen quietly, with no fanfare or theatrics. We encounter them every day. Such was the case for Donna Louis, award winning author of 'Miracles of Direction, Miracles of Conquest, Miracles of Provision and Miracles of Purpose', and 'Book of Proverbs, Wisdom VS Wilderness', when she heard Tyler Perry's talk at Joel's Osteen' Lakewood Church.

Tyler Perry is known for his philanthropy and generosity when others are in need. He recently paid for Rashad Brook's funeral expenses. The 50-year-old actor is also planning on setting up college funds for Brooks' four children: Dream, 1, Memory, 2, Blessing, 8, and Mekai, 13. Sources shared with People that Perry “spoke to Rayshard's family and wanted to do something to help.”

He sponsored 65 kids from Philadelphia to visit Walt Disney World. An article on V-103 presents a list of some of the most notable things he has done, including a million dollar NAACP donation and another million for Haiti after the devastating earthquake. To Donna Louis however, it is his message about prayer and worship, and his devout Christian faith that stands out.

"There are times in everyone's life when things go wrong and not according to plan," Louis stated. "We all have seasons in our lives, some better than others. Some that produce a greater harvest than others. Some that make us cry and drop us to our knees in despondency.

"To everything, there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. - Ecclesiastes 3:1-8.

"There are times in all our lives when we need more support. Sometimes at night to help me fall asleep I will play Joel Osteen messages on my cell phone. I will just select a message and place the phone under my pillow and listen until I drift off to sleep, ensuring that I keep positive thoughts in my mind. One morning when I woke several messages had played and the last one was the message Tyler Perry preached at Lakewood Church back in April 2018. I never knew Mr. Perry had spoken there and so I reloaded the message and listened. It was an extremely powerful message titled 'Climb and Maintain'.

"That is what we all need to do daily is to Pray and Worship. This is what God created us for. Was that a miracle in the way that God revealed Mr. Perry’s message to me? I believe so, because everyday we encounter miracles. Believe for yours! Remember life is what you make it. Sure, there will be highs and lows but try changing your thought pattern. Say things like, 'I have an inbuilt optimism and know that the lean times won't last forever. Everything and everybody prospers me.' 'And this too shall pass.' Start to look at the glass as if it is half full and not half empty."

Louis' latest book, 'Book of Proverbs, Wisdom vs. Wilderness' delves deeply into the timeless human quest for wisdom. As all Christians know, the primary purpose of the Biblical Book of Proverbs is to teach wisdom. The Book of Proverbs provides intellectual depth, insights and exceptional wisdom on how to live a meaningful, joyful and tranquil life by honoring and respecting God as omnipotent.

The new release discusses all chapters in Proverbs 1-31 and brings insight, clarity, and basic meaning to several verses in each chapter. It clarifies why wisdom is not only essential, but mandatory in life, if one hopes to live a blessed life, versus living destitute, empty, or feeling lost or hopeless.

Louis has won a number of industry awards. She was recently chosen as the winner in the 2018 Top Female Author Awards in the Religion/Philosophy/Spiritual category. Louis was chosen from an international field of contestants by a panel of judges. She was also a recent winner in the 2018 50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading Awards.

Louis' recent wins follow three awards in the 50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading Awards contest (2015, 2016 and 2017), and two nominations in the Top Female Authors Awards.

Donna Louis' first book, 'Miracles of Direction, Miracles of Conquest, Miracles of Provision and Miracles of Purpose' helps readers explore miracles both past and present. The book 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 examples of each type, taken directly from the Bible.

Louis knows her subject well, as she has personally experienced four 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' has 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. More information is available at her website. Both books are available at Payhip at http://bit.ly/1jFX4qs, at Barnes and Noble at http://bit.ly/2LECI1h, at Xulon press at http://bit.ly/2P4ezU5 and at Amazon at https://amzn.to/38wW82l.

About Donna Louis:

Donna Louis is happily married to her husband of 36 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."

Advice to World Leaders from Citizens of Lebanon Offered By Award Winning Author Frances Fuller

Fuller is the author of 'In Borrowed Houses: a memoir of love and faith amidst war in Lebanon. The book is both an award-winning spiritual memoir and an up-close, inside view of a Middle East country engulfed in civil war.

The author of 'In Borrowed Houses' calls on world leaders to give “not a cent” to the government of Lebanon while rushing aid to the suffering population.

Anticipating a meeting of world leaders to plan aid to Lebanon, Fuller conducted her own survey of trusted Lebanese in various walks of life, asking for one sentence of advice to world leaders. She received over and over this message: “not a penny to the government.” All responders requested that help be distributed by non-government organizations.

Some stress that now is the time to establish a new political system for Lebanon, preserving her neutrality in the international community.

According to Fuller, “the explosions of August 4 that wiped out a huge portion of the beautiful city of Beirut, took with it the last shred of confidence in a government that does not function and refuses to resign.”

Within two days of the disaster a petition was being distributed requesting that the United Nations investigate the cause and assign responsibility, assure fair distribution of aid to the victims and help Lebanon acquire a professional government that the people could support.

“This petition is a direct answer,” Fuller says, “to an announcement from the government that they would conduct their own investigation, completing it in only five days. The petition also suggests that an organization that may be implicated in the events is deemed to exert significant influence over government actions.”

In a recent blog post found on her website, http://www.inborrowedhouseslebanon.com, Frances conducted her own survey of people she knows in Lebanon and asked, "If you could send one sentence of advice to this group, what would you say?” The answers were stunning:

“Don’t send money or any sort of aids to the government, because they will take them and leave us to die. Send teams to distribute them personally.”

"I would like to advise the group of leaders not to send anything to the government, but help directly the families, the churches, the affected people."

More is available at Fuller's website.

Frances Fuller is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at frances0516@att.net. Fuller's books are available at Amazon and other book retailers. A free ebook sample from 'In Borrowed Houses' is available at http://www.payhip.com/francesfuller. More information is available at her website at http://www.francesfullerauthor.com.

About Frances Fuller:

Frances Fuller spent thirty years in the violent Middle East and for twenty-four of those years was the director of a Christian publishing program with offices in Lebanon. While leading the development of spiritual books in the Arabic language, she survived long years of civil war and invasions.

Award Winning Author Jody Sharpe Featured In New Book, Chicken Soup For The Soul - Listen To Your Dreams

Sharpe's previously published books are riveting inspirational thrillers written in honor of her daughter Kate and her husband Steve.

Award winning author Jody Sharpe has announced inclusion of one of her stories in Chicken Soup For The Soul, Listen To Your Dreams. The new book, by Amy Newmark, includes 101 tales of inner guidance, divine intervention and miraculous insight.

As stated in the Amazon description, "These 101 enlightening true stories from ordinary people who listened to their dreams will amaze and inspire you. More importantly, they will encourage you to listen to your own dreams and inner voice to help you navigate your way to a more magical life than you ever thought possible."

"I'm honored to have my story, Voice of an Angel, chosen for Chicken Soup for the Soul's new book Listen to Your Dreams,” Sharpe stated. “An angel came to me in a dream soon after my daughter, Kate, passed away. The angel's message was to read a children's book I had never read. Reading this book forever changed my view on loss. I navigated through my grief by writing novels, a children's book and a memoir knowing our world is awash with angels."

Jody is the author of five books. Her latest book, 'Special Needs Children, The Angels On My Shoulder', is as entertaining as it is illuminating. Readers will likely never look at special needs children in the same way again.

Sharpe worked with special needs kids for many years. In 'Special Needs Children, The Angels On My Shoulder', She gives us a penetrating and remarkable look at her day to day interaction with her students that will likely be of interest to educators, counselors and parents. It is a book that will both entertain and inform.

One Amazon review stated, "This book should be required reading for all teaching students; not just special needs teachers. This book has so much value in demonstrating the positive affects that teachers can have on students, and also the blessings that students provide to their teachers. It would show new teachers personal benefits which they may have not yet realized. It is heart-warming and adorable.; absolutely enjoyable for everyone. It is short, but effective, and I am sure that many other teachers have examples they could add . . ."

The new book follows her recently released children's book about angels, "When The Angel Sent Butterflies". The new book helps children understand that love from their parents and others surrounds them. Love conquers fear and believing that angels are near can help sweep any childhood fear away. This concept is presented in the book when Angel Ken sends Jones and Kate butterflies. The book, appropriate for ages 2 to 7, is now available at Amazon and Ingram.

Jody's works center on angels on earth and the expression of their love and protection through synchronicity. On the 'Tuesdays With The Angels' section of her site, Sharpe presents stories of real life encounters with angels. The stories are available at Sharpe's website at http://www.jodysharpe.com.

In Sharpe's earlier, highly acclaimed novels, angels take on human form and interact with humanity in a variety of ways:

Town of Angels - It is angel vs. bully in the town of Mystic Bay, California, where a well kept secret lies. Angels live as humans there. After angels appeared to three children all was blissful in the town full of psychics, and ordinary folk. But as a bully, Klaus Waxman, comes to town, Angel Ken Leighton, a storeowner, must carefully guide his flock of humans not to give to in to the bully’s efforts. As Klaus opens a store mocking the resident angels sightings, Angel Ken guides psychic Justine Greer and her family to thwart his efforts. And with the help of the indomitable oldest psychic in town, Madam Norma, the bully meets his match with soft voices and intuitive minds…

To Catch An Angel - Jody is also the author of 'To Catch An Angel', written in memory of her late husband Steve. In 'To Catch An Angel', miracles happen in Mystic Bay, California, the town with the psychic and angel vibe. Angels are calling. Psychic Maggie Malone returns home to find she's swept up in the miracle of it all. She can't imagine why her mother left or who her father might be. But these questions pale in comparison to the wonder of the angels. Maggie meets writer, Noah Greenstreet. They realize they've met before, but where? Maggie and Noah embark on a journey to find our world is all awash with angels.

The Angel's Daughter - A secret lies in Mystic Bay, California and only two people know it. First there’s Hannah, a tender curly headed half Angel Then there’s her father, Gabe, an effervescent, teddy bear of a full-blooded angel. And it’s up to Hannah to keep the secret safe but she’s made a colossal mistake telling her ex-boyfriend and writing professor, Sam Blakely. Now he’s written a book exposing the secret to the world.

Sharpe presents stories and interviews about angels in her 'Tuesdays With The Angels' blog series. She is now accepting submissions of angel stories for possible inclusion. She hopes to create a collection of angel stories that involve sightings of angels, interaction with angels, miraculous angel encounters and other types of accounts or stories. All submissions will be considered, but inclusion is not guaranteed. Stories may be submitted at http://bit.ly/2FV8amd.

Jody was chosen as a winner in the annual '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' Book Awards'. She was chosen from a field of hundreds of authors through a public voting process.

Jody Sharpe is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below, or by email at sharpejody76@gmail.com. Angel stories can be submitted at http://bit.ly/2FV8amd. All of her books are available at online book retailers. New quotes will be added every Tuesday to the 'Tuesdays With The Angels' section of her blog, which can be found at her website at http://www.JodySharpe.com.

Profile:

Jody Sharpe had a rewarding career as a Special Education teacher. Writing about angels became healing after losing her daughter and then her husband. The valuable lessons she learned about moving forward and loving life in the now have set her on a mission to tell the stories with love, humor and spiritual awakening. The fictitious town of Mystic Bay has given her an avenue to put characters and themes together hopefully enlightening the reader towards contemplation of the precious life and memories we are given.

The Cure For Cancer And Hope For Covid-19 - Award Winning Author Bernard Fleury Shines Light On A New Paradigm For Health In Award Winning Book

 Fleury's highly praised book, 'The Mind-Body-Spirit Connection In The Medicine Of Light', presents compelling evidence for light-based therapies that are both effective and non-invasive.

For decades we have been hearing about the effect light therapy has on cancer. Now, in a new Ted talk, David Brenner presented the science on how light therapy can be brought to bear against the coronavirus. As stated in the description on the TED website, "Far-UVC light is a type of ultraviolet light that kills microbes and viruses and, crucially, seems to be safe to use around humans. Radiation scientist David Brenner describes how we could use this light to stop the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, in hospitals, nursing homes, trains and other public indoor spaces -- paving the way for a potentially game-changing tool in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic."

Light based medicine is painless and heals without the side effects that can be worse than the disease being treated. 'The Mind-Body-Spirit Connection in the Medicine of Light', a multi-award winning book by Bernard Fleury, reads like an encyclopedia of light based therapies. Covering nearly every form of light based medicine and how it relates to hundreds of diseases, the book is all about the power of light and how it can help the body heal and become stronger.

"I wrote this book," Fleury stated, "because I want to inform others of the revolution that we are experiencing in the medicine of light in terms of therapies like Photo-Dynamic Therapy and devices like the MRI. Light based therapies and devices are the least invasive and most effective of modern medical way of diagnosis and treatment. They are also the most effective in terms of accurate diagnosis, which leads to the best available, least invasive and most effective treatment with no life threatening side effectd."

Light therapies continue to break new ground for major illnesses, including cancer. Featured prominently in the book are a number of professionals who have and are continuing to alter the landscape in regards cancer treatment. Dr. Nikola Tesla, Dr. Georges Lakhovsky, Dr. Royal Raymond Rife, Dr. James Bare, Donald Tunney and many other pioneers in their respective fields find a place in the book, along with detailed research on their contributions to the field.

Royal Rife's work with a number of diseases including cancer is covered in great detail and includes the timeline of his life, his "beam ray instrument", Universal Microscope and BX, the cancer causing microbe.

His research is impeccable, and his evidence is convincing. Fleury explores how light-based medicine may be used to treat cancer, viruses, microbes, arthritis, fibromyalgia, ostheoarthritis, ostheoporosis, stroke, wounds and many other medical conditions.

Nearly all of Bernard's books center squarely on the theme of Light as a Someone and a Something. He believes we are all Called Into Life By The Light. Life and Light are tied together. Lifelight describes their relationship best because both our “without” (our physical being) and our “within” (our spirit) are basically light in two different forms:

1. Physical energy that occupies space, has weight, can be measured, and

2. Psychic or spiritual energy which is a force that causes things to happen and, thus, real energy, but it does not occupy space, have weight, nor can it be empirically measured.

Fleury's book has received a number of 5-star rated reviews. Kayti Nika Raet stated, "I found The Mind-Body-Spirit in the Medicine of Light by Bernard Fleury to be well written and informative. It is written in a way that makes for easy consumption and understanding, while at the same time provides gems for all aspects of life. Fleury offers a convincing array of evidence from several sources, and the knowledge provides many tools that the reader can use to grow and thrive."

Reviewer Ruffino Oserio stated, "This is one of the first medical books I have read that offers methods combining science and a holistic approach to treatment in a stunning manner. There is a spiritual as well as a philosophical aspect of this book that readers will enjoy as well. The book is well-researched and offers surprising discoveries about the energy of light, which comes primarily from the sun and is present in different life forms. This isn’t just a book for people seeking to be cured of an illness, but one that proposes a path to general wellness and wholeness of mind, body, and spirit. . . Bernard Fleury’s book is a gift for those who want to experience life deeply."

Reviewer Samantha Dewitt (Rivera) said, "This book is all about the power of light and the way that it can help the body to heal and to become stronger. As we come to recognize even more capabilities from light, scientists are starting to develop additional treatments and ways to harness its abilities with light therapy.

Striking Similarities With Popular PBS Series Beecham House Abound In Victorian True Crime Novel, A Lethal Spectre, By Award Winning Author Donna Fletcher Crow

Crow writes meticulously researched, entertaining novels of romance, history and mystery in an engaging you-are-there style that allows readers to live the history.

The immensely popular PBS series 'Beecham House' gives viewers an inside look at the lives of a group of people who live in a Delhi mansion during the late 18th century. Starring Tom Bateman, Lesley Nicol, Leo Suter and Dakota Blue Richards, the series embodies the elements that make for great entertainment - political intrigue, mysteries from the past, the clash of strong, well defined characters - all set in exotic locales during a fascinating time in history.

Award winning author Donna Fletcher Crow finds uncanny similarities in the PBS series to her Victorian true crime novel, 'A Lethal Spectre,' Book 5 of the Lord Danvers Investigates series. Fans of the series will likely find 'A Lethal Spectre' also satisfies their desire for captivating entertainment, with an added bonus - the stunningly detailed research that is embodied in all of Crow's stories.

“India, land of mystery, endless fascination, and contrasts. How ironic that as the Coronavirus continues to spike in India with a record number of cases and a complete lockdown newly ordered in the Bengal region, viewers in the US are being treated to scenes of opulence, intrigue, and violence in that same area on the popular PBS series ‘Beecham House.’

“As my husband and I have watched it (compulsively), I have repeatedly interrupted to say, ‘That’s in my book!’ Although the TV series is set half a century earlier than ‘A Lethal Spectre,’ the East India company, the British army, the Raj, political intrigue, the opium trade, and so many of the cities are also portrayed in my Victorian true-crime novel.

“And, I can’t help seeing similarities to today’s lockdown in the necessity for sheltering portrayed in the TV series as well as with the circumstances of the English men, women and children in my book who were locked inside the military enclosure while constantly under fire for three weeks.

“Yet again, I experience the value and delight of viewing, writing and reading history: Getting to know faraway, exotic places; experiencing distant events through people real and fictional; and gaining knowledge and understanding—even while locked down oneself.”

Summer 1857: A vivid study in contrasts as Antonia, Lady Danvers presents Sophia, an old friend’s daughter, to London society; while in India Sophia’s mother is caught in the brutalities of the second Indian Mutiny. The events in India are all true, taken from historic accounts; those in London are based on newspaper stories of the day. This engrossing story comes to life with all the vivid historical detail readers expect from Donna Fletcher Crow.

Readers say: “A stunning contrast between the dramas and machinations of fashionable London life and the unfurling of an unthinkable tragedy. A story of lights and shadows, all impeccably well researched and realised.” Linda Stratmann, The Frances Doughty Mysteries

“As somewhat of an expert on Colonial British India, ‘A Lethal Spectre’ swept me away with mystery set in beautifully detailed Victorian England and in India, showcasing an integral piece of history that changed Anglo-Indian relationships.” Christine Lindsay, The Twilight of the Raj series

Donna Fletcher Crow is the author of 50 books, mostly novels of British history. She has taken a number of high-level industry awards for her work. 'Glastonbury' is her best-known book, which received the prestigious First Place, Historical Novel, award from the National Federation of Press Women. Readers and reviewers have raved about 'Glastonbury', calling it "The best of its kind," "richly fascinating," "beautifully researched," "gloriously evocative," and "panoramic." One Amazon reader said, "WHAT a work! Every reader can be enveloped in the sheer scope and quality, every historian be constantly nodding at the precise detail and accuracy, and every Christian can rejoice in the fullness of scripture. For me it is simply beyond descriptive praise. I would urge all who value truth to treat themselves to a feast."

The Lord Danvers Victorian true-crime series is an Amazon bestseller in the British Detectives category. Books in the series include 'A Lethal Spectre', 'A Most Inconvenient Death', 'Grave Matters', 'To Dust You Shall Return' and 'A Tincture of Murder'.

The Daughters of Courage, 'Kathryn', 'Elizabeth' and 'Stephanie' is a pioneer family saga based on the stories of Crow's own family and other Idaho pioneers in the Kuna, Nampa and Boise area. A short story on her blog entitled “A Nostalgic Fourth of July” is based on a scene from ‘Kathryn: Days of Struggle and Triumph'.

The Monastery Murders Series features atmospheric contemporary crimes with their roots buried deep in the middle ages. Books in the series include 'A Very Private Grave', 'A Darkly Hidden Truth', 'An Unholy Communion', 'A Newly Crimsoned Reliquary' and 'An All-Consuming Fire' and the upcoming 'Against All Fierce Hostility.'

The Elizabeth & Richard Mysteries is a literary suspense series using literary figures as background: Rudyard Kipling in 'The Flame Ignites', Dorothy L Sayers in 'The Shadow of Reality', Shakespeare in 'A Midsummer Eve's Nightmare', and Jane Austen in both 'A Jane Austen Encounter' and 'A Most Singular Venture'. Watch for 'A Prodigious Sum of Corpses: Seeking Sanditon at Jane Austen’s Seashore', which will take readers to all of Austen’s favorite seashore resorts. Accounts of Crow’s visits to these sites are available on her blog under the heading “Jane Austen Seashore Tour.”
