As Al Pacino's character said in Any Given Sunday, “In either game, life or football, the margin for error is so small. I mean one-half step too late or too early you do not quite make it. One-half second too slow or too fast and you do not quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They are in every break of the game, every minute, every second.”

The game changing moment for America has come. Some of the champions of US business have fallen, never to rise again. Many of us are suffering from "Covid fatigue". But hopefully the worst of the pandemic is past us. Now it is necessary that we exchange the stress, fear, and trepidation of the past for determination, energy and dynamic leadership skills and move forward.

Suffering Alone, Dying Alone - A Tribute To Those Impacted By The Covid-19 Pandemic Offered By Award Winning Author And Film Maker Cheryl Williams

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 to date dealing with the pandemic including 'Covid-19 A Child's View'.

Over 200,000 lives have been cut short by the pandemic in the US. The suffering is unfathomable. Nearly every single person on the planet has been affected. Cheryl Williams, a Covid-19 survivor, school nurse, award winning author and film maker sees the suffering up close, daily. Her family, her friends and her acquaintances, all affected by the virus, inspire her with their bravery, their determination and their resolve despite the impact the pandemic has had on their lives. She recently offered a tribute to those affected by the virus in a new Youtube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZAZzlk4JuI, and a poem entitled "Loss".

"The tremendous loss of lives due to Covid-19 has deeply impacted so many individuals, families, communities, countries and the world as a whole," Williams said.

"Death is the most haunting, painful loss we will ever experience, but succumbing to the complications of Covid-19, suffering alone, dying alone, not being able to say goodbye, to give (your loved ones, friends, etc.) the send off they truly deserve is heartbreaking.

"Covid has robbed us of so much, yet so many of us fail to notice those among us who are hurting, lonely and depressed.

"Many of us are consumed with our own affairs that we fail to see the blank and empty hearts that walk beside us in the grocery store, sit adjacent to us on the bus ride home, live across the street from us, communicate via social media with us…

"So many people are in pain, so many people are angry, so many people are hopeless. It is my hope that this tribute will, in some way, ease the burden of the heavy hearted and bring them peace of mind."

Loss

The darkness hovers over me
A sudden sense of loss
The emptiness torments me
Thoughts flooding back and forth

The memory of the endless love
The blessed love we shared
Stood there in silence frozen
Heartbroken with despair

Thinking of that blessed day
That seems so far away
When we will be together
In a special kind of way

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.

"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," Williams stated.

Williams had a chance to speak with Anthony, the fourteen year old Covid survivor, who was featured in 'Covid-19 and My Child. 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

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 and Dorrance Publishing. 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.

How To Help Someone Addicted To Alcohol Or Drugs - New Book By Linville Meadows MD Reveals Why Physicians Experience Much Higher Addiction Recovery Rates

Dr. Meadows is an Honors graduate of the U.N.C. School of Medicine, was recognized internationally for his work in cancer research, and was designated as a Clinical Investigator of the National Cancer Institute. He has successfully recovered from alcohol and cocaine addiction.

According to the 2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, we are seeing increases in all forms of drug and alcohol abuse across nearly every category, age group and demographic. The numbers are staggering.

While 28-day programs for alcohol and drug addiction can result in a recovery rate of approximately 10%, (about 20% for Alcoholics Anonymous), around 70% of doctors participating in an intensive rehabilitation program will be clean and sober—and practicing medicine—five years later. How is that accomplished? And how can we tap into those methods? The answers to those questions are the topic of Dr. Linville Meadows' newest book, ‘A Spiritual Pathway to Recovery from Addiction: A Physician's Journey of Discovery’.

Dr. Meadows concepts have been featured by Psychology Today and TheFix.com. In this 5-star rated book, readers will discover how to overcome addiction through the use of spiritual principles, like honesty, compassion, and faith; a simple and successful treatment that works for impaired physicians and can be used by anyone.

While there are hundreds of books about how to overcome addiction, what sets Meadows' book decidedly apart from the pack is his unprecedented approach to the subject. His book is the memoir of a group of physicians going through an intensive rehab program for addiction to drugs and alcohol. It is presented as a collection of the stories and lessons they encountered during their time together. It is a step-by-step guide to understanding the disease of addiction and how to treat it effectively, presented in a way that is both highly informative and wildly entertaining.

“The story of recovery from addiction is best told by those who lived it,” Meadows stated. “I have collected bits of wisdom from the individual lives of many addicts, and wrapped them in a memoir of physicians going through rehab. Each person shares an incident from their days of using, or a lesson they have learned along the way. Taken together they make an easy to read narrative about the disease and its treatment that anyone can use.”

Some of the topics covered in the book include:

The disease concept of addiction
Overcoming the denial and the uncontrollable craving
Finding the openness, honesty, and willingness to change
Dealing with past mistakes and removing character defects
Exchanging my old addictive ways of thinking for healthier ones
Finding spiritual principles I can live by
Living without fear or worry
Finding happiness within myself

While the book is appropriate for any person who might wish to explore the topics of addiction and recovery, those for whom it will hold the most value include:

The reader who wants to know if his drinking is actually out of control.
The reader who knows he is in trouble, and wants to change.
The old-timer in recovery who wants to learn more about his disease.
Their families and friends.
The practitioner who treats these people.

The new book has received rave reviews from readers and reviewers alike. Ralph Snyderman, M.D., Chancellor Emeritus, Duke University stated, "If there is any book you plan to read about addiction this year, it should be this one as it will be a classic for anyone wanting to understand the mind of addicted physicians (and others) and what it takes to recover”. The Prairies Book Review said, “This outstanding guide with cogent insights into the nightmarish world of addiction and recovery is a must-read for anyone who thinks he has a problem with addiction.”

Dr. Meadows is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at meadowslin@gmail.com. ‘A Spiritual Pathway to Recovery from Addiction: A Physician's Journey of Discovery’ is available at online book outlets. More information is available at his website at https://www.spiritualpathwaytorecovery.com.

About Linville Meadows M.D.

Dr. Meadows is an Honors graduate of the U.N.C. School of Medicine and studied at Duke University. He later held faculty positions at both institutions. He was recognized internationally for his work in cancer research, and was designated as a Clinical Investigator of the National Cancer Institute.

His recovery from addiction to drugs and alcohol began May 7, 1997. Since then, he has counseled a large number of addicts and alcoholics striving to get clean and sober. His observations and study over the last 20+ years form the basis for “A Spiritual Pathway to Recover from Addiction, A Physician’s Journey of Discovery".

Jody Sharpe, Award Winning Author Of Books About Angels, Announces New Video Channel, 'The Angels On My Shoulder', Featuring Stories About Angels And Special Needs Children

Sharpe's previously published books are riveting inspirational thrillers written in honor of her daughter Kate and her husband Steve. The new video channel will feature angel stories and stories from her experience working with special needs children.

Award winning author Jody Sharpe has announced a new video channel available on Youtube titled 'Jody Sharpe The Angels On My Shoulder'. The new channel will feature stories of real world interaction with angels and stories about special needs children. Both subjects are held near and dear to Jody Sharpe's heart.

Sharpe worked with special needs kids for many years. In her latest book, '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.

“My life wouldn’t be the same without the inspiration my students with special needs brought my world,” Sharpe stated. “For over 20 years they showed me a willingness to learn and found the joy in life despite their challenges.”

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.

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.

Amazon Best Seller, Gideon The Sound And The Glory By Award Winning Author Joseph Ganci, Takes New Book Award In Readers Favorite Christian Historical Fiction Category

In this Old Testament historical fiction novel, Ganci combines Old Testament revelations with modern day revelations, action and adventure to provide audiences with a unique, emotionally charged experience.

Joseph Ganci is a serious researcher, a master storyteller and is the award winning author of the Amazon best selling novel, 'Gideon, The Sound And The Glory'. The book has received rave reviews from both professional reviewers and the public. He recently took an Honorable Mention Award in the Christian Historical Fiction category in Readers Favorite 2020 International Book Awards.

While Christian historical fiction might not be for everybody, what is for everybody is the manner in which Ganci brings characters from the Old Testament to life. The characters are colorful, vivid and vibrant, while the tales he weaves bring to mind scenes from 'Lord of the Rings' or 'Noah's Ark'. If that were not enough, the book also covers topics that are eerily similar to modern day events, such as the Covid-19 pandemic.

"The Old Testament is replete with plagues," Ganci stated. "Most often attributed to the wrath of God for disobedience to His commandments. There is nothing new under the sun. You might ask, is the COVID pandemic some such device? Is the world not burning? Are hatred, violence, and mistrust the order of the day. Has love been dismissed as not being politically viable? When a mask becomes a task and friction and discord rule the day, are we not already plagued?"

"Soon after its capture, the Ark of the covenant, or the God box, as the Philistines referred to it, created a pressing need to be released back to Israel.

"A plague of mice had burst open in the multitude of locusts and flooded the borders of Philistia. The grain stores and threshing floors were either consumed or spoiled in a sea of mouse droppings. There was no grain for bread or porridge; the needed bulk for proper digestion was now lacking. Philistia stood obstructed with a widespread cramp from constipation. Try as they might with all possible stress and strain, nothing happened but a rising tide of painfully swollen and ruthlessly itchy emrods.

"With no relief in sight, the Philistine princes counseled—standing up—and to a man agreed to send the God box back to the Hebrews—and immediately. It was hurriedly sent back to Israel with a gift of five golden emrods (hemorrhoids) and five golden mice. A peace offering to appease the wrath of the mighty Hebrew God—in the images of the two plagues that had ravaged all the Philistine people—men, women, and children. They hoped that these treasures would satisfy the God of the Hebrews for their forceful capture of His Ark.

"The Ark of the Testimony was first carted back by kine or cows who had never known a yoke or plow. The lowing kine, flushed heavy with milk, was set at the crossroads of decision. Turning to the left, it would lead them straight into the heart of Philistia; turning to the right and back to Israel would leave no doubt as to the Hebrew God’s omnipotence. The cows stood dumb and unmoved until a sudden clap of thunder in a troubled sky put them into motion, and they flinched as if struck with a whip.

"The unpiloted cart, guided by the hand of God, rested at the unfortunate town of Beth-shemesh. The curiosity of the populace reached beyond rational argument, saying, ‘Let us see the face of God, now that He is here among us.' They broke the seal of the lid for a quick peek inside. The townsmen kindled the wrath of God and suffered many to die. The wandering Ark then found safe keeping of twenty-years in Kirath-ye’arim.

"The Ark was not coming back to Shiloh or the Tabernacle of Habitation. The Tent of God was finally dismantled and stored away, fittings and all, in a vacant hold built especially for its safekeeping.

"God did not give the Philistines hemorrhoids; He gave them a plague of mice. The mice did the heavy lifting. Why, mice, you may ask? Because God uses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise and the weak things of this world to confound the mighty. And so, what is weaker than a mouse?

"Where ignorance is bliss, wisdom is folly."

Gideon coverGanci takes a ground-breaking and revelatory path in his quest to bring the awe-inspiring story of Gideon to life and ultimately to film. He believes that connecting facts are far more enchanting than loosely fitting fantasies. He works within a framework of an engaging and dramatized fiction that, while exceedingly rich in detail, remains faithful to uphold spiritual principles. He bases his work on three primary pillars:

* The rock-solid cornerstone is historical biblical geography.

* The creative arch is revelatory in its timing and issues.

* The research is concrete, firmly rooted in customs, languages, and traditions.

Ganci fills in the blanks with rock-solid research and prophetic revelations. It is a style that has allowed him to create breakthrough approaches that are exciting and breathtaking while remaining within the limits of believable biblical teachings.

Mysteries long hidden in ancient shadows now leap to life, blazing unto the pages of revelation. Details that link passages, peoples, and places are the most exciting part of the storytelling process. Details give possibilities a firm foundation as bones give form and strength to living flesh. Details long since lost or misunderstood, now ring true, giving texture, and breath, to long-forgotten gems of perception resurrected from ruins, dust, and ashes.

Ganci believes that Old Testament revelations are the Word of God. At the same time, that many needful details remained buried until the information age of discovery made them obvious and visible to the naked eye. These insights create a middle ground of understanding. As a dedicated and highly motivated researcher, he proposes there are many undiscovered nuggets of spiritual gold in the original manuscripts. He shines a new light on ancient texts and removes the black or white argument of the all-or-nothing question of modern-day revelations. He is adept at untangling the philosophical and theological human-made knots. And he gives us an opportunity to take a fresh look at what some consider to be foregone conclusions.

Readers of 'Gideon The Sound and the Glory' will learn about the Jewish Tabernacle, the Ark of the Covenant, the mysterious Golden Ephod, how, and why, David found himself at his battle with Goliath, and much, much more. This work illuminates the dark corners of scripture while engaging readers in a gripping narrative.

Ganci is in the midst of completing his sequel novel 'David'. and his many adventures and conquests. David’s making of his vast Israeli empire. The shepherd boy king and the capture of his six wives. His torrid love affair with the insatiable Bathsheba, all but provoking a cover-up in a conspiracy to murder. The anointed king who risked it all for the love of a woman. It is done with a deft touch of Biblical erotica in keeping with Bathsheba’s sensual bath and the hot sleepless desert nights with a monarch that challenged her fiery passions.

Joseph Ganci was chosen as one of '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' in the 2017 Book Awards. 'Gideon: The Sound and the Glory' has received rave reviews from readers and reviewers alike. A recent reviewer stated, "Joseph Ganci’s prose is arresting, peppered with fantastic imagery and succinct descriptions of plot, characters, and setting. The themes are masterfully created, and they are woven into the story in a way that allows the reader to enjoy both the inspiration the story offers and the accompanying action. The book explores powerful spiritual and political themes, capturing the conflicts and the dynamics of life within the community of God's chosen people. Gideon: The Sound and the Glory will appeal to fans of political thrillers, adventure, and conflict-driven stories laced with intense action." Other reviewers have used phrases such as "riveting," "amazing" "deftly crafted" and "highly recommended."

Ganci has also announced he will make his book available as a fundraising tool for like-minded associations and charities. Donors can receive an eBook version of 'Gideon' in exchange for a donation to a worthy cause. For more details, contact Joseph via email.

Award Winning Author Donna Fletcher Crow Announces New Adventure Murder Mystery, Against All Fierce Hostility, Set In Canada

The new murder mystery is book 6 in the Monastery Murders series. Reviewers have compared her work to PD James, Dan Brown and Barbara Pym.

Award winning author Donna Fletcher Crow has announced the release of book 6 in the Monastery Murders series, Against All Fierce Hostility.

The Monastery Murders moves to Canada when Antony is invited to lecture on the British saints who inspired the founding of Toronto and Felicity couriers an ancient manuscript connected with Saint Patrick to monasteries in Montreal and Vancouver. A spectacular train journey across the breadth of the continent carries them even further away from the murder Felicity witnessed in England. Or does it?

Reviewer have given Crow’s mysteries high praise, with comparisons to PD James, Dan Brown and Barbara Pym:

- “In Against All Fierce Hostility, Donna Fletcher Crow continues her signature brand of blending church history with the twists and turns of a cozy mystery as Antony and Felicity journey across Canada, dogged by shadowy people and circumstances. Crow sprinkles the clues and red herrings throughout the story so ably that I couldn’t figure out the villain until the shocking ending.

“The marvelous details of Antony and Felicity’s trip across Canada give a glimpse into the country’s expansive geography and its youth as a country. Crow brings the Canadian setting to life–glaciers, mountains, northern lights, prairies filled with grain from horizon to horizon, lakes by the thousands–it’s a canvas that provides the perfect expanse to who’s after the original document from St. Patrick’s lifetime. And it provides the perfect crime scene for the astounding ending. Lovers of PD James will enjoy this new twist on The Monastery Murders.” - Laurie Wood, Author of the Heroes of the Tundra Series

- “In A Darkly Hidden Truth, Donna Fletcher Crow creates a world in which the events of past centuries echo down present-day hallways—I came away from the book feeling as though I’d been someplace both ancient and new. Donna Fletcher Crow gives us, in three extremely persuasive dimensions, the world that Dan Brown merely sketches.” - Timothy Hallinan, The Queen of Patpong, Edgar nominated Best Novel

- “With A Darkly Hidden Truth Crow establishes herself as the leading practitioner of modern mystery entwined with historical fiction. The historical sections are much superior to The Da Vinci Code because she doesn’t merely recite the facts; she makes the events come alive by telling them through the eyes of participants. The contemporary story is skillfully character-driven, suspended between the deliberate and reflective life of religious orders in the UK and Felicity’s ‘Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead’ American impetuousness.

“Her descriptions of the English characters read like an updated and edgy version of Barbara Pym. A Darkly Hidden Truth weaves ancient puzzles and modern murder with a savvy but sometimes unwary protagonist into a seamless story. You won’t need a bookmark—you’ll read it in a single sitting despite other plans.” - Mike Orenduff, 2011 Lefty Award Winner, The Pot Thief Who Studied Einstein

Crow says, “For many people one of the most disruptive aspects of the Covid-19 pandemic has been the forced cancellation of travel for business, family and recreation. My husband and I have had to cancel four much-anticipated international trips and numerous ones to visit family in the States. We find ourselves filling that void in our lives with armchair travel through such programs as “Rick Steves’ Europe” and “Mighty Trains,” as well as reading books set in distant locations. I am excited to be able to offer readers who are feeling home-bound a new book to take them on a vicarious adventure.”

About the Canadian background of her new book Against All Fierce Hostility, Crow says, “We are so fortunate that we took the trip that served as research for my book last year. Riding the luxurious Canadian across the continent had been at the top of my bucket list for years. As soon as my husband told me he had managed to secure reservations for the long-dreamed-of adventure, I knew that had to be the setting for my next book.

“It was truly the trip of a lifetime—the service exquisite and the scenery stunning. And it was great fun re-living it all through the eyes of my characters—although fortunately, we didn’t have to cope with the presence of possible murderers like Felicity and Antony do.”

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 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 'Against All Fierce Hostility.'

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 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.”

Donna provides a no-charge download of 'A Tincture of Murder' from the Lord Danvers Investigates series for those who sign up for her newsletter. More information is available at her website.

Donna Fletcher Crow's awards include:

Where Love Begins, Best Historical Romance, Pinnacle Awards 2019
A Lethal Spectre, Best Mystery, Pinnacle Awards, 2019

George Floyd, Covid-19, Unemployment, Rioting And Police Brutality - There Is But One Way We Can Thrive In America Today Says Award Winning Author Donna Louis

Louis is the multi-award-winning author of two Christian books, and the upcoming new book 'Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God'. Louis’ books reveal God’s desire for our happiness and joy.

The world, and our lives here in the US, have been turned upside down it seems. We are faced with the Covid-19 pandemic, massive unemployment, and a broken economy. The murder of George Floyd and the shooting of Jacob Blake has caused a level of civil unrest that hearkens back to the 1960's. And all of it is happening at the same time. It is a period unlike any other in history.

Is it possible to maintain our sanity in the midst of all this? Of course, it is. It is possible not only to survive, but to thrive in the very midst of such turmoil. We can, given the right mindset, turn adversity into opportunity. It begins with our personal choices.

How we might do that is the subject of award-winning author Donna Louis' upcoming new book, 'Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God'.

"Our world is changing so quickly it is inconceivable that we have strayed so far from Jesus," Louis stated. "Racism is at its highest height and this is not the way it should be. Peace is supposed to abound. This is what some of our greatest leaders spoke about. 'Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.' 'Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.

"We have George Floyd who was murdered by police officer Derek Chauvin, who is now requesting that the charges be dropped arguing that George Floyd's alleged drug use was the reason why he died and not the inaccurate use of force by the officer. As if that was not enough, we are now dealing with the shooting of Jacob Blake that almost took his life. When does it stop? People are speaking up with massive protests, now major league sports are uniting and protesting as well. On Friday August 28, 2020 MLB celebrated the life of baseball great Jackie Robinson and released a statement about the death of Chadwick Boseman who portrayed Jackie Robinson in the movie “42.”

When asked about how he felt doing the movie about Jackie Robinson and the racism he endured Boseman said, “he took the role seriously, because he wanted "to do right by the family" and not disappoint Robinson's widow, Rachel Robinson. “ When asked about the racist language that Robinson had to suffer through Boseman said, "You do get angry," hearing it, and you do feel, in a slice of that reality, somewhat like he would feel. And it's an incredible amount of courage to deal with that." Jackie Robinson dealt with racism in 1947. This is 2020 and nothing has changed.

"There was a report in the news recently that a man in Springfield went into a Walmart and started hugging people and then told them they now have Covid-19. What is possessing God’s children to behave in the manner that we are? People are going through enough daily trying to survive with the unemployment issues hanging above our heads.

"Why have we lost our JOY? Jesus – Others – You. This is the way in which we were taught by Jesus to live our lives. We are to keep LOVE first and always love our fellow man. 'And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love'. – 1 Corinthians 13:13.

Louis' latest published 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.

Missing Woman Speaks To Investigator In Lucid Dreams - Journalist Presumed Dead. Or Is She?

New Novel Explores Possibility of Life After Death, Extends Best-Selling Milford-Haven series into Paranormal Genre

Can a journalist haunt her own life? Can a person be living life with no clue she’s actually passed on? Can she make herself heard by someone who’s still alive?

These are among the key questions posed by best-selling author Mara Purl in her new book, What the Soul Suspects. The story tracks the progress of Christine Christian, a character who suffers memory loss from a minor head injury. Yet as the tale continues, Christine’s ongoing disorientation leads to more confusion.

She meets with investigator Deputy Delmar Johnson of the SLO County Sheriff’s Department, thinking they’re working the same case from two angles. He, however, is investigating her disappearance, and the “meeting” takes place in a lucid dream.

Both the journalist and the investigator are in for major shocks.

When author Mara Purl launched her novel series, it began with two protagonists: artist Miranda Jones, and journalist Christine Christian. But during the prologue—even before Chapter 1 began— Christine met with an accident. Following a lead in pursuit of an important story, she took a nasty fall and was never heard from again.

The narrative then follows painter Miranda Jones. Faced with a difficult life choices, Miranda follows her heart, using her intuition—even when it seems to be leading her away from parental advice, comfort and success. But Miranda’s story—which has legions of followers in the Women’s Fiction genre—leads to adventure, success, and eventually, personal happiness.

“Thematically both characters are of key importance to the series,” Purl commented. “Miranda represents ‘heart’—intuition becoming a reliable guidance system. Each book in the series has the word ‘heart’ in the title. But in the background, there was the question: what about logic? Christine represents the ‘head’— logic overriding intuition, stubborn resolve suppressing warning signals. And there will be more books focused on Christine as the series continues.”

The series now has six novels following the progress and adventures of Miranda and several other characters. And although an investigator had nominally reviewed the case of the missing journalist, her case has gone cold. No body has ever been discovered, and Ms. Christian often traveled internationally for extended periods.

"It was time to get back to Christine," Purl confirmed. "She's a character with a rich background that’s mostly been unexplored until now. She’s had many adventures that will be explored in some upcoming flashback stories. But first, we needed to see where she is now.”

The result is a tale that’s “spooky . . . with wisdom,” as one reader put it. “The story takes Christine on a breathtakingly beautiful journey to four lighthouses in California’s sumptuous Central Coast,” explained the author. “These visits offer guidance and inspiration, and yet they’re rather terrifying at times.”

Book reviewer and host of The Authors Show Linda Thompson wrote: “Mara Purl is a master at drawing you into a story and keeping you in it until the very last page.”

Reader comments:

"I LOVE this book! Spooky stuff told in a very provocative way . . . with wisdom! It's a wonderful book, so rich and nuanced with exploration of time, space, mind-states and special sensitivities. Much as I've enjoyed Mara Purl's writing in the past, there's something really special about this book that sparkles with conviction, mystery and beauty. There is something so elegant and inviting in this prose . . . really magical! It's not just the substance of the story but also the way it's being told. We're really there with Chris . . . as she drives through the Central Coast. I'm swept up into her world. It captivated me!" – Marilyn Harris, Singer, Songwriter, Composer

"Cool ghost story with two compelling characters, lots of real-world and metaphysical intrigue and even a dose of Laura Nyro. What’s not to like! I found the prose style to be precise and painstakingly visual. The overall atmosphere of the narrative, almost a third major character, also comes to life effectively, as do the lighthouses and spiritual Native American influences, and the notion, at the end, of Chris actually teaming up with Del from the Afterlife to catch her murderer is quite provocative. Purl's imagination and craft keep getting better and better." – Mark Kudlow, screenwriter

“The voices and personalities are clear and well crafted. The plot unfolds with just the right amount of mystery and strangeness, but never too bizarre as to be unbelieveable. I was yearning for more...thus showing me that it was very compelling from beginning to end. I kept thinking ‘great insight’, ‘very wise’, or ‘aha!’ as I read. I love learning new things in a story!” – Laurie Jameson, WILLA Award-winning author

“The book is so intriguing and very good! It was so fun to read about an area that I actually lived in. I think you described it beautifully and I felt as if I was there once again.” – Antoinette Burns
