Travel with a woman on a journey of emotions and passions that ultimately lead to happiness and joy

Lilibet Rain announces the release of ‘Growing Happiness: Turning Loss and Grief into Joy’

The spirit of the daughter she lost wants Lilibet Rain to be happy above all else. Over the last 10 years, focusing on self-improvement, a positive attitude and working closely with nature, it helped her achieve that state. Now, she wanted to help other people as well who have gone through loss, particularly losing a child, to heal and have a happy life. It is for this reason she writes “Growing Happiness: Turning Loss and Grief into Joy” (published by Balboa Press).

Rain lost her home and possessions, her 24-year-old daughter and her 18-year marriage. If that was not enough, she also went through dramatic health challenges: surviving cancer and learning to live with a heart condition. Yet she is one of the most passionate and happy people one can meet. She made a decision along the way not to be a victim of life, and instead to be a hero. She embraced forgiveness as a key to living a happy life. Her passions for teaching and organic farming have been both her therapy and her driving force to happiness.

“Depression and suicide are on the rise amongst people who have suffered major loss. They find it difficult to heal and find happiness again in their lives. This was made much worse due to the pandemic, where many people lost loved ones prematurely due to contracting COVID-19. It is a time where healing from loss is needed more than ever before. It is also a time when people have become disconnected from nature and are suffering from ‘Nature Deficit disorder,’ Rain says. She adds, “The book gives hope to readers that despite any losses they have gone through in life, they can find happiness and live a fulfilled life. It is both a story and a transformational book and will appeal to both those who enjoy fiction/stories and non-fiction/self-improvement.”

When asked what she wants readers to take away from the book, Rain answers, “I would like my readers to feel inspired to spend time in nature and embrace the inner tools of acceptance, forgiveness and gratitude so that they can heal and have a happy life. Happiness is a choice we make, a choice to connect to the truth of our souls instead of to the false, exterior world. My greatest wish for them is that they make a lasting commitment to be happy. The prize will surely be a magical, joyful life beyond their wildest dreams.” For more details about the book, please visit https://www.balboapress.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/821952-growing-happiness

If the Funniest Stories Are the Ones We Remember, Then Why Not Use Them to Teach?

Xulon Press presents practical instruction with plenty of humor thrown in.

Author Mark S. Cloer shares his hilarious personal experiences in Learning to Hunt ($18.99, paperback, 9781662860621; $8.99, e-book, 9781662860638).

Cloer tends to be a do-it-yourself kind of a guy by nature, but when he decided to teach himself how to hunt, the results could have been disastrous. Thankfully, he was often able to see them as humorous, and he is now willing and able to use them as lessons to teach others.

“My target audience is outdoorsmen, or those who aspire to become so. Mainly young fathers hoping to get or keep their sons interest in the sportsman’s way of life,” said Cloer.

Mark S. Cloer is a licensed boat captain and avid scuba diver. He studied history, geology and political science in college and has spent most of his career owning and operating his own businesses. When he is not hunting or writing, Cloer does underwater consulting work for marinas.

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

“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

“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

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

Author Cornelius Wright’s new book “Black Boy from the Barrio” is the first in a series of memoirs sharing the challenges and triumphs of his life in Northern California

Cornelius Wright, a certified life coach, author, speaker, and philanthropist who has just recently found out his true calling in life, has completed his new book “Black Boy from the Barrio”: a collection of candid autobiographical essays offered to motivate and inspire.

“Black Boy from the Barrio” is a series of books about Cornelius “Neo” Wright. It’s an ongoing saga about an African American man who is living two different lives. The first half of his life was spent doing nonproductive things like partying, watching television, and working on physically demanding jobs. During his mid-thirties, he had a wakeup call and realized that he needed a “check up from the neck up.” He found that he was on the same career and life path that his beloved father (who was a farm laborer) had warned him to avoid. In 1994, he was introduced to some local business owners who were living the life that most people would only dream of. Fortunately, they were willing to coach and mentor Neo if he would make the time. He took them up on their offer, and the rest is HISTORY. At the time, little did Neo know that he would someday rewrite HISTORY for himself and countless others someday in the future. Well, that SOMEDAY is now. Welcome to “Black Boy from the Barrio” Volume 1.

Published by Page Publishing, Cornelius Wright’s engrossing book is the first in an inspiring series of autobiographical works offering personal testimony to the limitless possibilities of positive change.

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

Author Patricia Jensen’s new book “John or Is It Fred: A Glimpse of the Jensen Family Saga” is a compelling portrait of a family living during a turbulent era in history

Patricia Jensen, a proud mother of two sons and grandmother of three grandkids and the former cohost of a radio talk show on KKRN in Round Mountain, has completed her new book “John or Is It Fred: A Glimpse of the Jensen Family Saga”: a riveting and potent depiction of a real-life family living through a tumultuous era in American history.

Describing her inspiration for this story, the author writes, “While cleaning the garage during the virus lockdown in 2020, Bill found the wallet referred to in the book, along with numerous other items in multiple boxes. We had moved from San Diego on New Year’s at the turn of the century, and the boy’s old footlocker toy box managed to house a number of collectable items and family heirlooms. These were boxes of relatives’ memorabilia and old pictures that had been handed over to us from his mom and upon the death of older relatives.

“With Bill’s help, I was able to create a time line of events from the dozens of items we found. His recollection of a number of the noteworthy ones helped create this story.

“He helped identify many of the characters in pictures that turned up in this book. He also recalled many stories that his dad, Fred C. Jensen, referred to as Freddie early in the book, told him. He remembered many visits from relatives when he was a boy, and the numerous ‘war’ stories overheard.”

Published by Page Publishing, Patricia Jensen’s personal tale follows true-life colorful characters of the 1920s to 40s as they lived full and adventurous lives. They lived at a time when they were called upon to build a city and a historical dam, to grow a fledgling spit of a town in the desert into what would become the world-famous city of Las Vegas.

The Jensens were rugged individuals on a desert frontier living ordinary lives during an exceptional time in American history, and they continually rose to the occasion. They survived Prohibition, the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, and made many wartime sacrifices. Along the way and by complete chance, they bumped into numerous famous personalities.

Readers who wish to experience this gripping work can purchase “John or Is It Fred: A Glimpse of the Jensen Family Saga” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Kathleen Cooper’s newly released “Living a Miracle” is a powerful testament to faith in the face of a traumatic event

“Living a Miracle”: a powerful story of survival and grace. “Living a Miracle” is the creation of published author Kathleen Cooper, a loving wife and mother who works as a licensed nurse.

Cooper shares, “This book is written to inspire readers on how faith can change a person and families’ lives.

“My family has been through many trials and tests throughout the years, and by the grace of God, we have overcome them all, even when we had no idea the Lord was working in our lives; he still is. It is when we look back on the past that we will notice just how the Lord has worked continuously throughout our life.

“The most recent tragedy of almost losing our son is what truly turned our faith around. We witnessed an absolute miracle before our eyes; and there were many family, friends, and medical staff that witnessed it with us. Very seldom do you hear of a person surviving carbon monoxide poisoning, and if they do, the outcome isn’t good due to brain damage and physical body organ damage. At least that is what the statistics and science shows. In our case, we received the impossible, and we have God to thank for that.

“You don’t have to be a perfect person or a perfect Christian to receive and witness miracles in your life. What everyone needs is faith.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Kathleen Cooper’s new book is an emotional story of one young couple’s prayerful fight for their child.

This personal and emotional tale is certain to pull at the heartstrings of parents as they witness this medical miracle unfold through the author’s heartfelt retelling.

View a synopsis of “Living a Miracle” on YouTube.

Consumers can purchase “Living a Miracle” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.
