Felicity Allen announces the release of ‘A Father’s Love?’

A woman who experienced childhood abuse at the hands of her father shares her story and shows other abused children how they can rise up despite their fears and fight to regain their voice

Felicity Allen has kept a secret for a long time, it was taking its toll on her conscience, and she could not take it anymore. At 30 years old, she decided it was time to share the story of her childhood. In “A Father’s Love?” (published by Archway Publishing), she chronicles the sexual and emotional abuse she experienced at the hands of her father for many years.

This collection of childhood memories offers insights into the thoughts and feelings of an abused child who felt lost and did not know where to turn for help. Written to help other abused children to have a voice and not be silenced by their abusers, Allen shows how they can rise up despite their fears and fight to regain their voice.

“When I decided to put this book together it was for one main reason. I needed to speak the words. The things I wrote about in my book are things I have never even spoken aloud in my entire life. However, I feel like the people who choose to read my story may be searching for answers on how to move on from their own demons like I once was,” Allen says.
When asked what she wants readers to take away from the book, Allen answers, “I want my readers to realize they aren’t alone. Others out there who have suffered abuse in some way and they are feeling the weight crushing them. You can let it out. Do not feel silenced by your abuser or by society. Do not let your abuser win and take back your power. I believe in you.” For more details about the book, please visit https://www.archwaypublishing.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/838991-a-fathers-love

David Wonderlich’s newly released “Out of Darkness Into the Light” is a powerful story of survival during a winter canoeing accident

“Out of Darkness Into the Light” from Christian Faith Publishing author David Wonderlich is an inspiring story of one man’s fight for survival during a near-death experience that takes readers on a powerful journey of spiritual awareness.

Wonderlich shares, “‘Dear God, please give me the strength to get out of here! Please, please be with me!’ I carefully moved along the submerged bottom of the upside-down canoe. It was pointed toward the snow-covered bank, and I knew it was past time to swim. The swift February water was now acting as if there were no canoe in its way. I dove in and began swimming. All my actions seemed to be disjointed. I knew I had to swim; I knew how to swim, but my arms and legs were not following my directions! The cold penetrated me; movement was agonizingly slow in the fast current, and I couldn’t see anything but frigid, dark water. I knew my arms and legs were not moving correctly! I was way too slow! Then…”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, David Wonderlich’s new book is a concise but impactful story of a man’s fight for safety following a freak accident.

Wonderlich shares a deeply personal and significant message within the pages of this riveting true-life story.

One man looks back at the obstacles he has overcome and the lessons he has learned along the way

Donald L. Miller announces the release of ‘Oh No! Not Another Brat!’

Donald L. Miller announces his entry into the publishing scene with the release of “Oh No! Not Another Brat!” (published by Archway Publishing) as he looks back at the obstacles he has overcome and the lessons he has learned along the way.

In 1956, at age 14, Miller ran away from home with his younger brother after a one-way argument with his father. After years of abuse, neglect and a family with no love, this incident broke the camel’s back. The next day, he stole $35 from his father’s drawer before telling his mom of his runaway plans. The plan was to ride their bikes from Illinois to Florida, unbeknownst to them, a pedophile killer lurked the streets of Chicago.

At 18, Miller found an escape – he dropped out of school to join the Navy, where he met many other challenges. He was first stationed in Hawaii, right after it had become a state, and was attacked by a huge, crazed Samoan man. Several years later, he got into a major argument with his wife and took off with the family car. He went to Hollywood, California to find his sister, even though he did not know her last name or where she lived. A miracle occurred when he got there. Now at age 80, Miller is going through his toughest challenge: caring for his wife of 61 years, who is struggling with the last stages of dementia and under hospice care.

“I believe my life story is unique. I survived a crazy life and lived to tell about it. There are scenes which are unbelievable. There is adventure in it,” Miller says. When asked what he wants readers to take away from the book, he answers, “I think they will be happy they read it. If it were not my story, I would love it. Near death experiences and miracles to boot.” Part of the proceeds from this book will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Association.

Author Mary Little’s new book “Anna’s Revenge” is a heart-pounding tale of revenge, love, forgiveness, and family in a small town, following two people afraid to love

Recent release “Anna’s Revenge” from Page Publishing author Mary Little is a story of personal growth, from childhood to adulthood, from innocence to maturity. It’s a story of love and loss, of triumph and tragedy, and it has all the ingredients for a compelling read: murder, kidnapping, gunfights, bank robberies, and more.

Mary Little, a retired educator from North Carolina, has completed her new book “Anna’s Revenge”: a gripping and potent tale of romance set against the background of the old West. It is the story of two people who are fighting their own demons as well as the demons of others.

Mary states, “Anna lost her smile. She nodded her head, shaking a curl down over her left eye. She did not smile at Seth, and he felt a distinct chill in the air. Andrew had been standing behind his daddy. At the mention of his teacher’s name, he peeked around his father’s long muscular legs, dispelling the tension with his breathless murmur of ‘Miss Flowers.’ He looked at his new schoolteacher and gave her a shy smile. Anna gave his son a lovely smile. Seth wondered what Andrew had that he didn’t have. Apparently, the lady was warm enough to his young son.

“Anna mentally scolded herself and reached out a slender hand to Andrew. She wondered where the boy’s mother was. ‘Perish that thought! It doesn’t matter where she is because surely this new—first— sheriff has a mother for his son and a wife for himself. How dare he look at me like that!’

“She took Andrew to the basin to wash his hands. Seth’s eyes followed her and Andrew. He couldn’t help watching her walk away with his young son. Clearly Andrew felt comfortable with his teacher. Seth thought that was a good thing because if Belle agreed to be Andy’s caregiver, he would spend all day at school with the teacher and some nights at home with her too. Seemed like Andrew would be the winner if Miss Morrison agreed to be his caregiver.”

Published by Page Publishing, Mary Little’s historical romance is about the love that two people have for each other and how they overcome their doubts and fears. It is a story of two people who are afraid to love. This tale shows the harshness of the time, but also the tenderness of a young woman’s heart. It shows how much one young woman can overcome when she has no other choice, and what she would give up to reclaim her life.

Anna is reluctant to trust anyone after her mother was murdered by her stepfather. She was orphaned and ended up being raised by a school teacher. Seth Stone, the new sheriff in town, is content to raise his son alone and does not plan to love again after separating from an unfaithful wife. They both have secrets that they keep from each other but keep being drawn to one another.

The author takes readers on a roller coaster ride of emotions as the story unfolds. Readers will discover if their love endures or if they will be hurt by their past and end up dead or alone.

Readers who wish to experience this gripping work can purchase “Anna’s Revenge” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Author Shares His Story of Bullying and How to Grow from the Past to Live a Happier Life

Accettura shares story based on challenging real-life events: bullying, health problems, and loss

From an autobiographic perspective, Accettura introduces “Fred Clayton,” a story based on the challenging real-life events the author experienced, like bullying and loss, while sharing a relatable story for all demographics.

Readers meet main character, Fred Clayton, a life-long victim of bullying. From grade school to high school, and even as an adult, his quiet manner and somewhat obese physique are the targets of ridicule and taunting, not only by his classmates and coworkers, but even his own mother.

Although he experienced brief periods of improvement, from weight loss to women showing interest, Fred continues to struggle with his weight and rejection. Luckily, Fred has his father and sister to count on for emotional and financial support.

However, after the tragic death of his father and his sister leaving their hometown of Chicago, Fred is left facing circumstances he never expected. But, at 29, Fred is ready to stand up to his bullies.

Accettura hopes his book will be a helpful hand to those seeking encouragement and guidance, when navigating difficult moments.

Dave Proulx’s newly released “A Sure Foundation: God, Man, And Salvation” is an engaging resource for those seeking a deeper understanding of scripture.

“A Sure Foundation: God, Man, And Salvation” from Christian Faith Publishing author Dave Proulx is a carefully researched study of God’s word presented in a manner that breaks down key topics and themes to increase understanding and appreciation of scripture.

“A Sure Foundation: God, Man, And Salvation”: an enjoyable and informative study. “A Sure Foundation: God, Man, And Salvation” is the creation of published author Dave Proulx, who served twenty-four years in the US Air Force and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in computer science from Kansas State University. After retiring from the Air Force, he taught telecommunications and computer applications. He and his wife, Linda, live in Lubbock, Texas.

Proulx shares, “The study of God’s word is a lifetime pursuit, a gentle, enduring passion worthy of your best effort.

“But where is the love and harmony that should characterize discourse between Christians?

“God’s word, which ought to unite us, is too often the source of strife and contention.

“One reason for this discord is a lack of scriptural knowledge: having only a fragmentary understanding of God’s word, we allow tradition, philosophy, and opinion to replace scripture as the basis of our beliefs.

“In A Sure Foundation, Dave Proulx introduces ‘comprehensive context’: the concept that when we prayerfully study all of God’s word on a subject, misunderstanding and contention are greatly diminished.

“As Jesus taught, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God’ (Matt. 4:4).

“The author explores three general topics using comprehensive context: the nature of God, the nature of humanity, and the many aspects of salvation. Each chapter includes a list of citations containing everything the scriptures say on the topic. No selection, no filtering, no favorites; just a sky-wide view of everything in God’s word regarding that subject, placing every doctrine in the context of a totality of scripture.

“A Sure Foundation: God, Man, and Salvation will forever change the way you use scripture. So grab a hot mug and settle down for hours of immersive study. Expand your understanding of God’s word with the help of the Holy Spirit. Deepen your love and appreciation for our Father in heaven and for our Savior, Jesus Christ.

“Your time will be well spent and amply rewarded.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Dave Proulx’s new book is a summation of the author’s study of the Holy Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price.

Proulx shares in hopes of increasing understanding and appreciation of God’s word for those who seek to achieve a more fulfilling connection with their faith.

Consumers can purchase“A Sure Foundation: God, Man, And Salvation” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

‘The Buffalo Sports Curse’ examines 120 years of bad luck in new RIT Press book

Sports writer Greg D. Tranter digs into Buffalo, N.Y.’s long history of upsets in The Buffalo Sports Curse: 120 Years of Pain, Disappointment, Heartbreak, and Eternal Optimism, published by RIT Press.

Did someone put a hex on professional sports in Buffalo, N.Y.? Sports writer Greg D. Tranter thinks so. His new book makes a case for the curse, beginning in 1901, when the promise of an original American League baseball franchise in Buffalo came and went—to Boston.

Tranter digs into the city’s long history of upsets in The Buffalo Sports Curse: 120 Years of Pain, Disappointment, Heartbreak, and Eternal Optimism, published by RIT Press. He investigates why Buffalo has never won “a universally recognized championship in any of the four major professional sports in America: baseball, basketball, football and hockey.” (The author dismisses the Buffalo Bills’1964 and 1965 American Football League championships as secondary to the National Football League in that era.)

Tranter traces the curse on professional sports in Buffalo to a trifecta of bad luck in 1901, beginning with the lost bid for the new major league baseball franchise, extending to the assassination of President William F. McKinley while attending the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, and sealed by the sudden death of the owner of the Buffalo Bison’s minor league baseball team. The book catalogues 120 years of cursed moments.

“All of the close calls, blown calls, injuries, deaths, nefarious back-office dealings, maladies, and weird happenings have occurred at just the wrong time to keep Buffalo teams from winning those championships,” Tranter writes. “Buffalo’s losing ways are too pronounced to ignore, which gives rise to the idea of a curse.”

Buffalo sports fans are the champions in Tranter’s book. He lauds their extreme loyalty and devotion, and details some of the curse-countering rituals that are woven into Buffalo’s saga.

“For those of us who don’t know how to smell the roses, ‘The Maid Will Be In Thursday’,” writes Pringle. “This is a twenty-year journey of which I had no idea I would be making. That is how long it has taken to finish this book. I lived with the shame and guilt of the unthinkable and had no plans to share this story, but God didn’t share my stance about secrecy. I prefer to keep silent about some details of my life, but God has his plans. After being disobedient for so long, I realized about a year ago, it was time to finish this project. Along the way, I’ve had many lessons, and the one that stands out the most is that I could not run from what God wanted to be done. So here is my book, and I hope it will be a blessing to others. There are some events I’m proud of, and some I would rather forget. What a not so perfect person I am. Thankfully, perfection never was expected of me, and for that, I am grateful.”

Author Michael D. Thompson’s new book “The Cult of Antinous” follows the story of a professor disappearance in Rome and the secret cult that may have been involved

Recent release “The Cult of Antinous” from Page Publishing author Michael D. Thompson centers around the investigation of a missing American professor in Rome, and the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. As Bella and Tony, the tale’s two protagonists, inch closer to discovering what happened, they soon discover a larger plot involving a secret cult with origins tied to ancient Rome.

Michael D. Thompson, who began his career in writing after working forty years in the health-care industry., has completed his new book “The Cult of Antinous”: a stunning tale that finds two protagonists Bella and Tony investigating the disappearance of a professor in Rome, and stumbling onto a much larger mystery.

“In a revelation of the gay world of ancient Rome, a collision course is set with the present-day gay culture,” writes Thompson. “A new historical tale of how the past impacts the present in the Italian town of Tivoli outside of Rome begins. It brings together all the elements of suspense and history once more.

“At the end of the first century, the Roman emperor Hadrian sailed down the Nile river with his retinue on the royal barge, including his male paramour, Antinous. But tragedy befell the young man who fell into the Nile and drowned.

“Over the centuries, many historians have postulated as to the cause of Antinous’s death. But no theories were proven and the mystery has remained…a mystery. Until now.

“Our two protagonists from the previous story about Julia Felix, Bella and Tony, journey to the Villa Adriana in Tivoli outside of Rome to assist in a search for a missing American professor at the villa. Soon, they begin to uncover a secret cult that has existed over nineteen centuries as well as something otherworldly that poses a threat to their safety.”

Published by Page Publishing, Michael D. Thompson’s fascinating mystery expertly weaves fiction and historical facts to create a captivating experience for readers of all backgrounds. Full of suspense and shocking revelations, readers will find themselves spellbound as they embark on an unforgettable investigation into a centuries-old mystery, and the cult it spawned.

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