New novel reveals a story of intrigue, suspense and paranormal mystery with a touch of wry humor

New novel reveals a story of intrigue, suspense and paranormal mystery with a touch of wry humor

Inspiring Books, Spritual Books, Survival Books, , ,

“In a deep dream I saw an Alchemist, his back to me, speak an indistinguishable chant to a wilted, dead rose. Instantly it returned to life, radiantly beautiful again. Then the Alchemist spoke in a strange base voice, stating, ‘I am V’– and he disappeared. I woke up knowing he wanted me to write his story,” Jack Groverland states.

“Alchemist V and his Power Over life, Love and Death” (published by Balboa Press) tells the story of an older man, a paraplegic who is offered the opportunity to steal and inhabit the healthy, young body of an innocent young man by a devious alchemist who has been living in stolen bodies since the 13th century. Will the older man leave his wheelchair and pursue the girl he loves? Will he murder for his own freedom and love?

An excerpt from the book reads:

Likewise, he was assured the game of life had no secret power vying for or against anyone. You were on your own to play the hand you were dealt. There was no sin, no bad karma, as Buddhists define it, only the immediate consequences of your decisions and the fickle factor of luck.

“This novel will challenge the readers to evaluate their understanding of what is truly right or truly wrong,” Groverland says. When asked what he wants readers to take away from the book, he answers, “Not everything they see or think they know is what it seems to be.” For more details about the book, please visit https://www.balboapress.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/828068-alchemist-v

New book explores the question of whether or not broken hearts can be mended

Woman's Life, Spritual Books, Survival Books, , ,

“Life’s Detours: Alexandra’s Choices” (published by Archway Publishing) by Badiaa Hiresh follows the life and journey of a young woman facing an unexpected pregnancy without support from anyone and choosing to chase her dreams anyway.

Alexandra is a dreamer, the youngest child of a large, reserved family. She longs to escape her small-town life and begins a secret life when she is nearly 16, singing at a small pub in the next town over. Her parents find out and give her a choice: stop singing or leave home. She leaves and soon finds herself involved with a much older man. When she discovers she is pregnant, however, her entire life changes once more. She sets out on a journey to a big city, determined to make her own choices and find her dreams, regardless of the challenges she faces.

“Each of us is a unique individual with great potential. At times we make mistakes that will be radical to change in our life, we need to face mistakes with strength, embrace the unknown with courage, and learn that those mistakes were simply stepping stones to a better tomorrow,” Hiresh says of what she wants readers to take from her book.

An alienated young airman caught up in desperate battles discovers that brotherhood is the path to life

Inspiring Books, Survival Books, , ,

Edgar Doleman served in the military for 20 years. Upon his retirement from a second career in information technology, he felt an urge to write about the war, not so much about his own experiences but about the amazing character of the men who fought it which resulted in the novel, “Arlen’s Gun: A Novel of Men at War” (published by AuthorHouse).

Arlen Washington, an alienated young airman serving as a gunner on an Air Force AC-47 gunship that is hit and crash lands in no man’s land. It is the monsoon season, weather grounds the rescue helicopters, and the crew is rescued by an Army unit. Events strand him with his rescuers, soon caught up in desperate battles where the airman gradually discovers that brotherhood, not his self-centered alienation is the path to life.

“We live in a self-centered society and this book shows through the crucible of combat that the self is most profoundly expressed through acts of compassion and empathy that ultimately create courage,” Doleman says. “Both combat veterans and former anti-war protesters will find this story realistic and revealing of what men experienced in battle and how they reacted.”

The publication of “Arlen’s Gun: A Novel of Men at War” aims for readers to realize that in spite of everything, people will still be good at heart. For more details about the book, please visit https://www.authorhouse.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/822367-arlens-gun

“A Journey Toward Home: How Life experiences led me to the very heart of God”: a potent exploration of the author’s spiritual journey. “A Journey Toward Home: How Life experiences led me to the very heart of God” is the creation of published author Bobby Lee Favors, a loving husband, father of three beautiful children, minister, teacher of the gospel, military veteran, and a very successful businessman. He has conducted missionary work in Turkey and Albania.

Favors shares, “If you are taking the first steps on your life journey or if you have been on the road for years, you are sure to be refreshed and renewed as you began to journey closer to the very arms of God. Your life dreams and aspirations do not have to be put on hold or out of reach, no matter what cards life has dealt. You can come forth and come out. Truly you are the one that controls your life’s destiny, not your past faults or mistakes. This book will show just how the Lord can take you out, clean you up, and renew your mind, body, soul, and spirit.

“Can God forgive and use you? My answer is absolutely because he did it for me, so I know that as you read my story, you will see that if he can forgive and restore this old country boy, then he can surely lift you up from your unwanted circumstances. As you read through this book, you will come to understand your value and purpose for being on earth. Christ will help you complete His very purpose in you. You are not too far gone to where He does not know where you are, and He is seeking after you.

“This book will reflect through my story, that our precious life will be filled with mistakes. However, we must understand that on the inside of those who have accepted Christ is the life of a risen savior. It is my hope that everyone who believes and lives for Christ can experience the excitement of life to its fullest and the abundance of blessings that God has promised to us all. I challenge you as you read this book from start to finish, opening your heart and mind to feeling the presence of the Holy Spirit and the process of change taking place.

“Through this encounter, revitalization will begin to inspire you to move forward on your life journey. I have been blessed to have experienced God’s greatness. There must be a strong desire to trust God’s leading even when the way forward seems hidden. The journey ahead of you is so much brighter than the road behind you. You can and will complete your journey to the very arms of God.”

With thoughtful reflections and honest accounting of the peaks and valleys of life, Favors shares a meaningful journey in hopes of inspiring others.

Author MaryAlice Kelly’s new book “The Silver Circle” is a compelling tale of magic, mystery, and friendship in the tiny kingdom of Lamara

Spritual Books, Story Books,

MaryAlice Kelly, a lifelong writer and married great-grandmother with a wide range of interests including animals, especially cats, stars, needlecrafts, music, reading, and miniature houses, has completed her new book “The Silver Circle”: a fast-paced adventure that keeps the pages turning until its poignant conclusion.

The crown of Lamara was legendary, the creation of one mystical people and the gift to Lamara of another. It has the power to choose the king, and when it chooses the younger son over the elder, trouble begins. When it is lost and the king dies, it leaves Gunther, an adolescent boy, as heir, and the rejected uncle becomes regent.

This is also a tale of friendship, the kind of friendship that encourages one man to always tell a king the truth, whether he wants to hear it or not, and his sons to follow his example. There is a price for this kind of loyalty, and each man pays it in his own way: the first one with death, the second with captivity, and the third with change.

Is the price too high?

What kind of king will Gunther be?

Published by Page Publishing, MaryAlice Kelly’s engrossing book is an excellent choice for avid medieval fiction readers.

Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase “The Silver Circle” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

James writes, “The place was perfect for learning to shoot and track game, learning what you could eat and what not to eat in the woods and how to find it, fishing (with a pole and without a pole), hunting with and without a gun, building a shelter, and just having the freedom of ninety acres all to myself. My first gun was a BB gun. I did a lot of shooting at cardboard targets in the backyard. Daddy gave me his Springfield single shot .22 rifle when I was nine years old; this was a year before my mother knew I was shooting a real gun and she thought I was too young then.

“From about eight years old until I was twelve, Daddy and cousin Tom would teach me the Indian skills they had learned from those old Indians in the family. Cousin Tom did not have any children, although he had been married several times and Daddy and he were like brothers, so they both taught me.”

Published by Page Publishing, James Kirkwood’s personal tale reveals how important a relationship with one’s father is in life.

This memoir is an interactive book that gives readers lessons at the end of each chapter. The purpose is to show how to build a better relationship with one’s father by portraying and seeing what it is like to have an influential father. Readers will follow along James’ memoirs about his father and hopefully build a stronger connection to their own father, whether he hugs or not.

Thom Shipley, a resident of Baltimore, has a new book. “Racism: Then and Now” is a memoir of the lasting legacy of bigotry on his formative years in postwar Maryland.

Story Books, Spritual Books, ,

Thomas R. Shipley, a former teacher and administrator who, days after his retirement from the Maryland State Department of Education, embarked on a second career as the executive director of the National Association of Federally Impacted Schools. It was a new association of public schools and reservations, dealing with federal funding for American Indian and military-dependent students. He soon became a consultant to the House and Senate subcommittees on education, and retired in 1988 to become a serial entrepreneur. Thom now volunteers as a mentor in entrepreneurship at the University of Baltimore, and has just completed his fourth book, “Racism: Then and Now,” a wrenching retrospective on his personal experiences as a witness to subtle and overt racism in the Jim Crow era and beyond.

The author writes, “This book is divided into two conspicuously different parts. The first half contains five relevant, true stories, which started me on a thought-path to trying to understand racism as I was living it. The stories took place in the ’40s and ’50s and range from mild to poignant. They are all true and are retold here just as I lived them. Not very long ago, racism of every variety was alive and well in most of the United States. It was a right of privilege, passed on to a large portion of the White community, and it was an unbearable burden, passed on—generation after generation—to what I knew then as the Colored Community. Generation after generation, in every family, the torch was passed. From kitchen table conversations to Supreme Court decisions, racism was passed on. Every child “had to be carefully taught.”

“For more than eighty years, I have watched it morph from subtle acts of noncompliance into violent explosions. I have watched acts from lynching for flirting to murder for being Black. We have had local riots and international demonstrations, and little has honestly changed.”

Published by Page Publishing, Thomas R. Shipley’s engrossing book is a must-read for anyone interested in the legacy of racist attitudes across many facets of American society. Readers who wish to experience this engaging and frequently controversial work can purchase “Racism: Then and Now” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, and Barnes and Noble.
