Author Richard Wagner’s new book “The Zombie Philosopher” is a fascinating story following a robot’s rise to fame as he aspires to become a philosopher

Recent release “The Zombie Philosopher” from Page Publishing author Richard Wagner is a stirring tale set in the future that explores the relationship between Edward, a human man, and his robot valet, Brent. Through their conversations with each other, Brent inspires Edward to consider what it truly means to be human, awakening a desire within Brent to become a philosopher.

Richard Wagner, received his PhD in computer science in 1997 from the University of Southern California and has been reading science-fiction since a young age, has completed his new book “The Zombie Philosopher”: a thought-provoking narrative that ponders what it means for one to be truly human, as explored through the ongoing philosophical dialogues between a human named Edward and his robot valet Brent.

“I wanted to tell a story of future relationships of people to machines,” writes Wagner. “Such a fiction must be set far enough in the future so that the machines have some genuinely interesting but realistic properties and not so far in the future that magical appearing properties are expected. This is hard science fiction. Nothing here is supernatural or violates known physics. There are no time machines and no faster-than-light spaceships—only real possibilities.”

Published by Page Publishing, Richard Wagner’s intriguing tale invites readers to think critically as they follow along with Edward and Brent’s many discussions on life and the human condition. As their adventures unfold and Brent receives international fame and celebrity status for his desire to become a philosopher, surprising plot twists will be revealed, leaving readers spellbound as they embark on an unforgettable journey.

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

Once Upon A Time in Yorkville: From New York City To Hollywood – A Memoir

Dr. Denise O’Dwyer announces the release of ‘Psychology with a Sparkle’

Dr. Denise O’Dwyer, aka Dr. Dee, is a chartered principal psychologist from Ireland, who wanted to write something which would be of value to the everyday person – “Someone who has an interest in learning, personal development and occupying their personal best, but perhaps doesn’t wish to formally attend a psychologist.” O’Dwyer’s debut offering, ‘Psychology with a Sparkle’ (published by Archway Publishing) is a contemporary summary of thoughts, reflections, scientific research, and suggestions, to equip and empower people in the areas of their lives they most often find difficult or challenging.

The book takes readers on a journey of professional insights, personal stories, scientific research, and tips and strategies for dealing with the seemingly fixed and immovable, to sparkling fluidity. The author explains how people can overcome maladaptive thinking and behavior patterns, silence their inner critic, improve relationships, overcome imposter syndrome, and strive toward becoming their personal best — physically, emotionally, psychologically, spiritually and sartorially. She highlights how each individual’s definition of success is different, and how it is up to each person to define and establish what success means, in shaping their lives and lifestyles.

O’Dwyer states, “The ability to assist and connect with people from all walks of life in an informed, meaningful way, is only as good as our willingness to acknowledge our shared humanity, struggles, and ongoing areas of personal development. Our ability to communicate this in a relatable, non-elitist manner, I believe, more readily captures the imagination of a diverse, global audience, and to this end, I have incorporated key examples from my personal and professional life, to highlight particular areas and life lessons from which I have struggled, overcome, and continue to grow each day.

The publication of “Psychology with a Sparkle” aims to inspire and assist the everyday person with everyday life, fostering hope and encouragement to break free from fears and limited belief systems, which unduly harass, slow, and halt human development.

Recent release “Pravar: Story 1” from Page Publishing author Josh Biando is a creative children’s story with an impactful message designed to help readers overcome struggles they are facing.

Josh Biando has completed his new book “Pravar: Story 1”: an entertaining and imaginative tale that features a main character who represents the inner child in everyone.

Author Josh Biando wanted to use his creativity to encourage others to have self-love. He has made a huge shift from being in business to giving others a purpose in life. “Pravar” was created on a spiritual journey in Costa Rica.

This unique and memorable story is complimented by stunning illustrations by Joseph Germain, a freelance, self-taught artist who was been drawing since he could hold a crayon. When Joe was diagnosed with autism at age three, his family chose to homeschool, which allowed him the opportunity to express himself through art.

At a very young age, Joe had the unique ability to create things in three dimensions. Over the years, Joe has made many sculptures of pets and people, including the mayor of the city of Worcester, Massachusetts. When Joe is not molding clay, he makes digital artwork, which is where Pravar, Galaxy, and all the characters from this book were formed. Joseph lives in Charlton, Massachusetts, where he cares for his pet ducks and his dog Margo and finds humor in making up puns.

Published by Page Publishing, Josh Biando’s meaningful story helps readers embrace the things that make them different, encouraging confidence and self-esteem.

She started out as an extra, hoping to get discovered and get a starring role. Some major female and male actors have started out as extras.

“The title is meant to catch your eye and make you think that this is about someone who is leading two separate lives of some kind. ‘My Extra Life’ is exactly what the title reads. It is about many experiences in the life of a movie and TV extra. The author hopes that you will find it very entertaining, as well as, interesting. She hopes that you will learn something that you did not know before. She hopes that some parts will make you laugh out loud and that you will tell others about it.

Author David Johnson details his observations and guidelines for improvement

“American Idols: The American Church’s Compromise, and How to Correct Course,” by pastor David M. Johnson, gives the author’s account on how the Church has adopted society’s standards, and has placed them before God’s.

Johnson was born and raised in Kalamazoo, MI where he is Co-Pastor at Kalamazoo Community Church. He has served there for 22 years He wants to spread the good messages for Christians to understand and embrace what Jesus has to offer. Johnson, himself, became a born-again Christian in 1981 and continues his spiritual journey.

The book shows the author’s concerns about the values that believers have adopted both in and outside of church. Johnson divided the work into chapters, based on various idols he feels have replaced God in Christians’ lives. He describes the compromises believers use when mixing idols with their faith.
The book contains a hopeful message, however. Johnson describes the blessing of the full life promises available, and good things in store, once churches and their people remember to put God first.

“People of faith and churches are talking and putting politics first,” David says, “We need to remember to put the Kingdom of God first, and deliver messages that give hope to others.”

Kennie Floyd’s newly released “Saved by Grace—Now What?: Build the Relationship” is an empowering resource for healing, growth, and the rejuvenation of spirit
“Saved by Grace—Now What?: Build the Relationship” from Christian Faith Publishing author Kennie Floyd is an enjoyable opportunity for reflection and study of one’s connection with God’s plan, purpose, and potential.

“Saved by Grace—Now What?: Build the Relationship”: a thoughtful discussion of spiritual wellbeing. “Saved by Grace—Now What?: Build the Relationship” is the creation of published author, Kennie Floyd, the founder and president/executive director of Bridge of Hope Montgomery (BOHM), located in Montgomery, Alabama.

Floyd shares, “Saved by Grace—Now What? answers questions, stimulates thoughts and discussions, and provokes the readers to action. Unfortunately, so many of us have several lingering spiritual questions in the back of our minds. If not addressed, they can open a door for doubt, hesitation, and disbelief. The basic questions in the minds of believers could be:
- Who am I?
- How does God see me?
- Does God have a plan for me?
- What is the purpose of my life?
- What must I do to achieve my purpose?
- How do I start achieving my purpose?
“The nature of these questions requires us to slow down and think carefully about the implications and consequences of our actions or inaction. Unlike novels that we read quickly, the design of this book is for intentional, slow, deliberate study and reflection. Is not your present and eternal life worth the time investment?”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Kennie Floyd’s new book will resonate with many who have found themselves with questions regarding their place within God’s plan.

Floyd shares in hopes of aiding others on their journey to seek understanding and connection with God’s word.

Consumers can purchase“Saved by Grace—Now What?: Build the Relationship” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

New transformational fable shares a blueprint on how to live a life of happiness, success, fulfilment and freedom

Debuting author Anton Broers announces the publication of ‘The Robot Who Became A Human’

Anton Broers marks his publishing debut with the release of “The Robot Who Became A Human” (published by Balboa Press), a transformational fable that shows readers how to break free from the invisible prison they are trapped in and unlock a life of happiness, success, fulfilment, and freedom.

The story follows Dax, a young student sent to meet modern-day sages around the world to extract the deep wisdom of life. Dax soon realizes that he is led by the mindset he unconsciously acquired. He is not free; he lives a robotic life. Under the loving guidance of Rama, Dax discovers what causes suffering and stress. He makes Dax’ learning practical, simple, and entertaining as he delivers the wisdom lessons through the life stories and lessons of other students and his own, and his ever-loving, supportive and clear guidance on whatever questions and doubts Dax raises. In the end, Dax learns how to develop a wisdom mindset and what it takes to become the author of his own life story.

Based on the author’s personal journey of awakening, “The Robot Who Became A Human” reveals practical and powerful wisdom that helps readers rediscover their own inner power. It is a go-to guide on how to be happy, successful, fulfilled, and free in life, relationships, and work.

“Today, the world is facing a mental health tsunami. People’s biggest enemies are stress, anxiety, and depression. This means people live unhappy lives. They have unfulfilling relationships. They are working in jobs that don’t bring satisfaction. People feel the daily pressure of a world changing at hyper speed,” Broers state. “At such time, my book brings clarity, solutions, and strategies that people everywhere can use to find inner peace, happiness, and fulfilment in their lives, relationships, and careers.”

Author Charles Wells’s new book “The Fallacies of Black Capitalism” is a thorough examination of Black capitalism and the challenges it has faced since its inception

Recent release “The Fallacies of Black Capitalism” from Page Publishing author Charles Wells is a thought-provoking discussion of the policies and practices that have both helped and hindered Black- and minority-owned businesses from widespread success in the American economic mainstream, and well-reasoned suggestions for bolstering future achievement.

Charles Wells, a retired international marketing and business consultant and former bank president who worked in the public and private sectors in forty-two US states, twenty-three African countries, the Philippines, and Mexico and received presidential appointments in two US administrations over the course of his sixty-four-year career, has completed his new book “The Fallacies of Black Capitalism”: a graduate thesis presented in partial fulfillment of his Master of Business Administration degree from Pace University in 1972.

Charles Wells wrote this book to provide the reader, especially young people who were not yet born, insight into the deceptive tactics and political games used by White Southern politicians and business leaders to keep minority communities economically depressed.

After the 1965 Civil Rights Voting Act was passed, Black civil rights activists and business leaders began a very aggressive campaign to improve conditions in minority communities. As the tactics being used by Black leaders around the country became more vocal and aggressive, President Nixon knew that White Southern politicians would resist any effort to provide economic aid to Black people and other minorities.

Nixon’s program that he called “Black Capitalism” was designed to provide tax breaks and incentives for rich White developers, not economic justice. These developers used these incentives and tax breaks to build upscale projects that the residents could not afford.

Black leaders’ complaints fell on deaf ears of the officials that Nixon put in charge of the programs, such as Commerce Secretary Stans who was against the program from the start.

The Black Capitalism program was doomed to failure for two main reasons:
1. It was underfunded from the very beginning.
2. The Minority Enterprise Small Business Investment Corporation (MESBIC) phase of the program was rack with fraud and poor selection of candidates for the program.

The MESBIC part of the program also failed because of several factors. The program was under capitalize, many minority businesses avoided the program and some White businesses set up phony minority forms to take advantage of the funding. They would set up a company and make a Black person CEO, and if things went bad, the Black person would be the one to go to jail.

It is the opinion of this author that the program was designed to fail. Nixon knew how to fool Black leaders while keeping White Southern support.

It is important to remember capitalism is not black or white. It’s green.

Published by Page Publishing, Charles Wells’s engrossing book is a thought-provoking thesis for civil rights, entrepreneurship, and American history readers.

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