Recent release “The Unfortunate Life of Bill” from Page Publishing author Karl Hooper is a stirring tale of a war veteran who reflects on his past experiences while living in a care facility. After being prompted by a young volunteer, Bill begins sharing his life story and passes on the lessons he learned for the next generation to hear.

Karl Hooper, a veteran of the U.S. military who owned several small businesses, has completed his new book “The Unfortunate Life of Bill”: a gripping and captivating story that looks back on the life of a veteran and the choices he made, resulting in valuable learning experiences that shaped his future.

Beginning his tale, Hooper writes, “This story I was told by an old man in a care center in Seattle, Washington. I was volunteering for credit in college and won some favor from my peers. The old man that I was charged with looking after had come to the center three months prior to my arrival. They told me he never said much and that when he did, he was hard to understand. They said he was a hermit that came from the woods and was brought in by the military. ‘Keep the TV on,’ they said. ‘Totally fascinates him.’ The only thing he commented about was progress and the shithole that was the world these days. He contently watched wildlife shows without saying anything. Mostly, he didn’t say anything. He didn’t make any effort to be friendly to anyone. He just sat and stared at the TV, ate, and slept. They said he was healthy enough for a man his age, but they weren’t sure of his age. The military didn’t say. He was placed here apparently because he’d never been discharged from service, apparently foregoing AWOL in 1946. The care center was charged with his care until the military could figure it all out. The only one that could answer everything wasn’t talking.”

Hooper continues, “So this is his story in his words. I only interrupted him to ask questions to put things in perspective. It would take way past my appointed time to hear it all because I was only with Bill for two hours a day, and some days, he didn’t say much and only said anything if we sat on that bench in the yard so he could see the mountains.”

Published by Page Publishing, Karl Hooper’s enthralling narrative is a raw and thought-provoking tale that paints the portrait of a man holding on to regret and valuable wisdom, ready to share it with those he finds worthy of hearing his tale. As Bill’s story unfolds, readers will find themselves spellbound by this character-driven and unforgettable journey through one man’s varied and experienced life.

Recent release “Chrysalis” from Page Publishing author Yolanda Kynard is a compelling memoir that invites readers to laugh with the author, cry with her, and in the end, see how she triumphs with positive attitude.

Yolanda Kynard has completed her new book “Chrysalis”: a gripping and potent memoir that separates the captivating story of her life into several separate parts including “Tears,” “The Eviction,” “In Search of a Diagnosis,” “The Voice,” “Dissolution,” “The Pain,” “Brain Surgery,” “Something Stinks in Here,” “Changing It Up,” “Saying I’m Sorry,” and “Thank You.”

In the opening section of her memoir, titled “Tears,” author Yolanda Kynard writes, “I don’t cry much anymore, I know that it will upset the people around me, my mother, my father, my son, and my daughters, so I just don’t cry. I used to cry a lot. My ex-husband can tell you I used to cry all the time: I cried when we hit hard times. I cried when he cheated on me. I cried when I found out about his other child. I cried when we split up. I cried when we got back together. I cried when we got divorced. Slowly but surely, the tears just stopped coming. It was the comfort of the Holy Ghost that caused me not to cry out loud. There were tears on the inside, but God himself, the Comforter, would not let them flow in the natural.”

Published by Page Publishing, Yolanda Kynard’s inspiring work shares her tumultuous but ultimately uplifting journey fueled by her personal strength of spirit and determination.

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

Jesse Button M.D.’s new book “Psychiatry, What It’s All About: Memoirs from 50 Years of Practice” shares the author’s knowledge acquired through many years of experience

Jesse Button M.D., a calm obsessive-compulsive with an insatiable desire to learn and create, has completed his new book “Psychiatry, What It’s All About: Memoirs from 50 Years of Practice”: a useful work that provides background information about the author as well as the field of psychiatry.

Author Jesse Button M.D. feels that almost anyone can be helped if they need help, and he will work to find a solution. His hobbies are gardening, yard work, building whatever is needed, and enjoying working on two antique automobiles. He always chooses the shortest distance between two points, emphasizes efficiency, and has little tolerance for lies or dishonesty. He had the opportunity to relate with the top professionals in American psychiatry in the Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry and as a career teacher awardee at the National Institute of Mental Health. He served in the American Medical Association and the American Psychiatry Association. He has published and used most of the approved methods of care in most of the possible settings in psychiatry, serving as chairman or chief of his department for most of his career. He feels there is no greater thrill or satisfaction than leading a severely ill person to wellness and did not intend to ever retire.

Author Jesse Button M.D. writes, “Throughout my career in psychiatry, I have been asked many times why I chose to go into psychiatry and what kind of patients I saw. Also, people wonder if the patients I saw in private practice were different from those seen in the Armed Services. I saw little difference in the patients seen in private practice compared to those seen in the Armed Services. I felt those in the Armed Services responded a little better because they tended to follow instruction better, and this is partly because they thought they had to.”

He continues, “I have absolutely no interest in finding fault with anyone or blaming anyone for anything in this book. I see my job as being an observer, trying to evaluate some facts to help those seeking my help so they can adapt and adjust in the most appropriate way for a more positive outcome in their situation. Some judges have asked me about reducing the risk to themselves in divorce actions. That can be a touchy situation, but if the judges act in a way to make it appear as though they are punishing either party, they will blame the judge, which is obvious. I have seen a number of men who felt the judges have really been unfair and taken everything from them, creating an angry response. At least some people in governing roles try to make good decisions. I had a friend who was a secretary in the state office, and they would frequently consult me on issues of mental health and treatment when in session. One time, a judge ordered a man to come see me for treatment after the judge had inappropriately confined him to a state hospital. That is unusual because the judge never consulted me, but the man decided he wanted to continue to see me.”

Published by Page Publishing, Jesse Button’s insightful work presents the author’s refreshing perspective on the field of psychiatry.

Readers who wish to experience this original work can purchase “Psychiatry, What It’s All About: Memoirs from 50 Years of Practice” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Author Dorothy Manning’s new book “Such a Journey: My Path to Righteousness” is an emotional memoir detailing how the author overcame her obstacles through God’s love

Dorothy Manning, a retired police sergeant that served for twenty-five years who serves as an associate minister at Christ Temple Missionary Baptist Church, dean of United Mission District, and an adjutant professor at the local junior college, has completed her new book “Such a Journey: My Path to Righteousness”: a powerful autobiographical tale discussing the trials faced by the author from an early age that helped her to develop a strong bond with God and follow his plan set in motion for her.

“My autobiography is a chronological story of my life since childhood to present,” writes Manning. “I share the difficult path I traveled of enduring trials and tribulations and achieving goals. I visited the depths of my mind and rediscovered ominous places where memories and stories were stored or suppressed that are my personal revelations and testimonies to share with others. I want others to understand that goals and adversity are tied together. To achieve one, you must experience the other. Every race I ran, I started at a start line, the beginning point, and I stayed on the track to cross the finish line. Strength is not given to the swift but to the ones who can endure.

“Today, I am a beacon of faith. I acknowledge God before my feet hit the floor in the morning and before my head hit the pillow at night. I keep Him first in every decision no matter how big or small.

“I reflect on my life and begin penning eminent moments and stop intermittently to thank God for providing His mercy and grace throughout my life. The memories cause me to pause and recount the numerous high and low pivotal moments of my life. I momentarily rest my pen at different times and thoughts about how I was spared the clutches of death or despair overwhelm me. Then, I reflect on how God provided me a way when I did not see a way.”

Published by Page Publishing, Dorothy Manning’s fascinating tale is one of triumph and perseverance in the face of adversity, heartache, and trauma through the graces and guidance of God. By sharing her story, Manning hopes to inspire others to look to God for guidance and mercy rather than blame and anger when life presents a test.

Readers who wish to experience this enlightening work can purchase “Such a Journey: My Path to Righteousness” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Recent release “Lessons Learned from a Side Chick” from Page Publishing author Lindsay Enita is a moving autobiographical account of the author’s heartache and loss that led to her finding strength and healing through her past mistakes and God’s guidance. From her husband’s infidelity to her own emotional affair, Lindsay shares her stories with others to help safeguard their hearts and marriages.

Lindsay Enita, a Soul Care coach, speaker, and podcaster, has completed her new book “Lessons Learned from a Side Chick”: a powerful and fascinating true tale centered around the author’s failed marriage, struggle back to wholeness, and the life lessons gleaned from the entire experience.

“This is me not just sharing my pain but also showing you my healing and all that is possible with God. I share my faults and flaws to show how God uses them. I shared my mandate with you because I did not know who I was, and it affected the way I loved and the way I showed up in the world. You, too, have a mandate—a charge given by God of who you be (as my mentor, Dr. Eboni L. Truss, says). Not knowing who you are may be hindering your life and relationships as well,” writes Enita. “I’m going to take you on a journey from hurt to healing so you’ll know if it was possible for me, it is possible for you too.

“While I would never wish the pain of having to endure an affair and eventual divorce on anyone, I am so grateful for the journey because it taught me unique lessons both natural and spiritual. These lessons stretched me and grew my capacity to love God, love myself, and love others…including my future husband. (Yes, these lessons opened up my heart to love again!)”

Published by Page Publishing, Lindsay Enita’s poignant tale is a powerful tool that shares valuable lessons for readers seeking to protect their hearts and marriages. Using her past hurtful experiences in a positive light, Lindsay shares the ways in following God and placing him first in one’s life and relationships can only help them grow stronger.

Recent release “Sons and Cadillacs: An Unplanned Journey Through Single Fatherhood” from Page Publishing author Vinny Ferranello is a story of a father overcoming a difficult situation. With a passion for family and an appreciation for one material possession that gave him a sense of pride and connection to his heritage, it becomes clear that he is a man who puts others first. Through his children, he found a way to move forward.

Vinny Ferranello, a common middle-aged, middle-class family man who experienced a dramatic family change, has completed his new book “Sons and Cadillacs: An Unplanned Journey Through Single Fatherhood”: a gripping, inspiring, and potent memoir about divorce and navigating being a single parent.

Vinny states, “as I left my old neighborhood, I contemplated where I should go for dinner and settled on a nice bar and grill near my new house only three miles away. I did not have the gumption to sit there and eat alone yet, so I sat down at the bar for a beer and ordered takeout linguine and red clam sauce. It was a good call as I just needed to be around people for the moment. Being an extrovert, I get energy from being around other people. Introverts like my still legal wife get their energy from being alone. There were just enough people there as most dads were home with their kids, where I should have been in my original life plan. After I savored my beer, I took my bag of food and went home to dine. With a glass of fine Chianti to accompany the pasta and watching another HGTV show, I ate alone. After dinner I went on another bike ride, five miles to get off some of the carbs at least. It was sunset now and with good music coming from my iPhone, it was a nice way to close the daylight. Next, I finished laundry and made the bed. Laundry is the one major domestic task I have not mastered—specifically folding. In the past, while I did a lot of the cleaning, my wife did all the laundry. With three males, it was probably close to even. Now my T-shirts and my boys’ clothes are always clean but, after poor folding attempts, still look wrinkled. However, I am working on it.”

Published by Page Publishing, Vinny Ferranello’s heartwarming tale gives readers an intimate look at his life as a single father and how he works to ensure that his two children have a good life. The old saying, “you have to play the hand you are dealt” is a cliché that has never been more true than it is with author Vinny Ferranello’s new book, “Sons and Cadillacs.”

The book takes the reader through the events of a new life and the events that led to there. As he grapples with the realities of single fatherhood, Vinny finds solace in his sons’ unconditional love and the support of his family and close friends. When he needed a boost in pride, he found it driving his Cadillac. Through humorous anecdotes and heartfelt honesty, readers will find this book relatable and entertaining as they learn how to navigate life. Great lessons can be learned that will translate to anyone experiencing such an event.

Readers who wish to experience this mesmerizing work can purchase “Sons and Cadillacs: An Unplanned Journey Through Single Fatherhood” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Recent release “KHOF-FM” from Page Publishing author Jack Short follows the author’s career while working at one of the first Christian radio stations, and the various occurrences that took place behind the scenes. From lighthearted fun to more serious events, Short shares each moment with a genuine honesty and appreciation for the wonderful memories created during these moments.

Jack Short, who studied electrical engineering at California Polytechnic Institute and served in the military as a part of the Signal Corps, has completed his new book “KHOF-FM”: a captivating and moving autobiographical account of what it was like working at a Christian radio station during a time when such a thing was merely an idea, and the various people and situations experienced by the author and others while working there.

“In this modern day and age, listening to FM radio is a common experience, and at most everyone has an FM radio or tuner and listens frequently,” writes Short. “This was not always the case, and there was a time when this experience was an unheard-of experience. Everything has to start somewhere and for Southern California, and in fact, everywhere west of the Mississippi River, KHOF-FM was that start, and this is what this story is about.

“The following stories are about the miracles I had the privilege of knowing about but more importantly being a part of in my life. I was not there at the start, but I will relate incidents as I was told or read about and remember them.”

Published by Page Publishing, Jack Short’s personal stories will transport readers back in time as Christian radio stations were just becoming mainstream and reveal what goes into creating such a broadcast. Full of wit and the perfect amount of humor, Short weaves a riveting narrative of the hard work each and every member of the team put in to spread God’s message to a broader audience every day.

Readers who wish to experience this inspiring work can purchase “KHOF-FM” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
