    Breaking the Invisible Chains: Groundbreaking Guide Exposes Hidden Tactics of Covert Narcissistic Abuse

    NEW YORK — November 13, 2024. Freedom Fountain Publishing today announced the release of The Covert Narcissist, a comprehensive guide by international author Margueritte Garcia, revealing the hidden world of psychological manipulation that traps high-achieving women in seemingly perfect relationships.

    “Most abuse books focus on the obvious red flags of narcissism, but covert narcissistic abuse is different: It thrives in shadows, hiding behind a mask of charm and respectability,” says Garcia, who spent eleven years navigating marriage, divorce, and is now co-parenting with a covert narcissist. “These manipulators specifically target outstanding, empathetic women, turning their greatest strengths into vulnerabilities.”

    Drawing from personal experience and extensive research, Garcia provides strategic solutions for women at every stage—from identifying subtle manipulation tactics to securing financial independence, and navigating each step of contentious legal battles and custody situations with a covert narcissist. The book offers crucial insight for mothers facing the reality of co-parenting with a covert narcissist, and how pregnancy and motherhood are deeply and negatively affected by a covert husband.

    “Sadly, no area of a woman’s life is left untouched by a covert narcissist,” says Garcia. In an era where we celebrate women’s empowerment, thousands suffer silently behind closed doors,” Garcia notes. “They present perfect lives to the world while questioning their sanity at home. This book gives them the validation and strategies to reclaim their power.”

    The Covert Narcissist speaks directly to the reader, validates her experience, and combines academic rigor with raw authenticity, offering practical tools for breaking free while maintaining professional dignity. The guide includes strategies for identifying and countering a covert’s manipulative tactics, documenting abuse, protecting assets, insight into the legal maze of family law, and healing from long lasting trauma bonds.

    “Finally, someone speaks the unspeakable truth about hidden abuse in successful households,” says Elena I. “This isn’t just another book about toxic relationships—it’s a strategic battle plan for women ready to break free and reduce the covert narcissist into nothingness.”

  • Author Shares an Unforeseen Journey of Recovery from a Brain Surgery That Left Him Paralyzed

    Author Shares an Unforeseen Journey of Recovery from a Brain Surgery That Left Him Paralyzed

    How author Joseph C. Salvo went from being paralyzed to a walking medical miracle in three and a half weeks

    Author Joseph C. Salvo was going about his busy day as a middle school computer teacher, when he tripped over nothing in the hallway. Later, he struggled to reach a book on a shelf. Then, he tripped again.

    Unable to explain these events, Salvo went to his doctor, where he underwent an MRI. He was shocked to learn the strange occurrences were a result of a brain tumor and he needed major surgery to remove it. Within just two weeks, Salvo visited three doctors, had four MRIs, was diagnosed with a meningioma tumor, and endured 12 hours of intensive brain surgery.

    “Because of nerve damage, the surgery left me totally paralyzed on my left side, and partially paralyzed on my right,” Salvo said. “I was told by every medical professional that I would never walk. After taking one-inch steps, I asked my doctor when I could really get going. He told me, ‘When you can wiggle your toes.’ I responded, ‘Hallelujah.’”

    In his new memoir, “I Wiggled My Toes…Hallelujah!: An Unforeseen Journey of Recovery from Brain Surgery,” Salvo shares his remarkable story of healing and perseverance. Determined to walk, he worked from the time he woke up until the time he went to sleep. Salvo defied the odds and stumped his nurses and doctors when he walked out, just three and a half weeks later.

    “When I left the rehabilitation facility, the entire medical staff referred to me as a ‘miracle’,” Salvo said. “They encouraged me to share my story, to give hope to others who had dealt with, or were presently dealing with, a life-changing experience.”

    Inspired by his doctors’ encouragement and his passion for helping others, Salvo hopes his story may be a motivation for readers struggling with life-changing obstacles to trust in God’s plan.

    “My purpose is to offer advice to individuals who need help and be an uplifting voice for their journeys,” Salvo said. “This book is a spiritual and healing example of what can happen when we allow God on our side.”

    “I Wiggled My Toes…Hallelujah! An Unforeseen Journey of Recovery from Brain Surgery”

    S.W. Hain’s newly released “The Truth Behind 9-11” is a thought-provoking examination of the September 11th terrorist attacks

    “The Truth Behind 9-11” from Christian Faith Publishing author S.W. Hain is an engaging and thoughtful exploration of the many theories surrounding what happened on that fateful September morning.

    “The Truth Behind 9-11”: a potent discussion of one of the most heartbreaking events in recent history. “The Truth Behind 9-11” is the creation of published author S.W. Hain, who seeks to inspire others living with disabilities to work towards achieving any dream that they choose to conquer.

    Hain shares, “There are many conspiracy theories that attribute the planning and execution of the September 11 attacks against the United States to parties other than or, in addition to, al-Qaeda, including that there was advance knowledge of the attacks among high-level government officials.

  • Author Dr. Vincent Marchesani’s new book “Communicating Science and Managing the Coronavirus Pandemic” is an authoritative guide to effective public health management

    Author Dr. Vincent Marchesani’s new book “Communicating Science and Managing the Coronavirus Pandemic” is an authoritative guide to effective public health management

    Recent release “Communicating Science and Managing the Coronavirus Pandemic” from Page Publishing author Dr. Vincent Marchesani is a fact-based discussion of the nature and realities of viral pandemics and the most effective ways to mitigate their effects on any populace.

    Dr. Vincent Marchesani, a chemical industry expert with national and international publications, eight copyrights and a compatible book, also published through Page Publishing, “The Fundamentals of Crisis Management”, to his credit, president and CEO of Environmental Health and Safety International LLC, and father of three grown children now lives in Bonita Springs, Florida with his wife, Rosalie, has completed his new book “Communicating Science and Managing the Coronavirus Pandemic”: a presentation of thoughts and ideas that may better prepare an individual or organization for future pandemic situations.

    After listening to an abundance of misinformation about the coronavirus (COVID-19) and its variants, Dr. Marchesani decided to write this book. Statements such as, “We all know,” followed by incorrect or misleading information is frustrating. The statement implies that the information to follow is known and accepted by everyone except the person hearing the information for the first time, and that person needs to get on board if they want to be accepted. As addressed in the book, science has the answers and needs to present the answers in a strong and effective manner. No response on the part of science is read by many that the misinformation is correct when it is not correct, or the misinformation is of equal to science when nothing can be further from the truth. Information from science must undergo rigorous peer review prior to a statement being issued, while misinformation has no basis or documentation and should be discarded.

    The book also addresses the nine stages of managing a pandemic—from the incident that led to the pandemic determination through remediation, recovery, and closure. The book also addresses the process of developing a pandemic scenario and a scripted pandemic exercise. The book also introduces a template for a pandemic management plan, a standby statement, and much more. This book may be the perfect guide to addressing COVID-19 misinformation and pandemic management.

    Published by Page Publishing, Dr. Vincent Marchesani’s engrossing book is an informative choice for anyone interested in public health in the wake of the globally disastrous Covid-19 pandemic.

    Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase “Communicating Science and Managing the Coronavirus Pandemic” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

    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

    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…”

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

    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.
