The Hero Within by Craig W. Huber

He hadn’t a worry in the world until he received a deadly diagnosis. Would one man’s faith get him through the fear?

Craig Huber was living the dream. Now a hard-working sales professional with an unswervingly supportive and caring wife by his side, after nearly two decades serving as a full-time minister in Central and South America he knew how blessed his life had been. But when odd physical symptoms sent him to the doctor, his heart sank at the crippling words of his physician: late-stage liver disease.

Told he didn’t stand a shot at survival without a transplant, Craig and his family struggled to keep their patience as they waited for test results. So when he got the coveted call announcing a donor match, the determined fighter rolled up his sleeves for the long and arduous road to recovery.

In this uplifting account of courage and strength, transplant survivor Craig Huber walks readers down the unpredictable path of a harrowing medical ordeal. And with an unwavering belief in God’s plan, this inspiring man’s story will remind you that every hurdle is only a step in becoming the strongest and most fulfilled version of yourself.

The Hero Within is a powerful memoir of rising above life’s toughest obstacles and finding determination. If you like open and honest experiences, organ donor insights, and heartwarming second chances, then you’ll love Craig W. Huber’s eye-opening journey of healing.

The Secrets of the Clock by C.S. Kjar

Three feuding sisters, two adversaries, and a grandfather clock stirred together make a magical time on the beach.

Essie Bunny, Sharon Claus, and Hannah Horseman are ordinary sisters with extraordinary families. They have not spoken to each other since a big blow-up at a family event fifteen years ago. When their mother dies, she leaves them a cryptic message, telling them to search for her last wishes on a videotape in their childhood home. She also tells them to set the old grandfather clock to five o’clock and wait for the magic to happen.

Barely restraining their dislike of each other, the sisters return to their mother’s home on a Florida beach to find a closet stuff full of unlabeled videos. The grandfather clock sits quietly against the wall showing nine-fifteen, just like it always has. Resentment grows as they search for the right videotape and try to understand what magic will come when they set the non-working clock to five o’clock.

First, an answer the question asked most often: how do you say her last name? It’s pronounced CARE. She loves that name because she cares about you having good books to read and enjoy.

About It’s a “Me-Thing.” A Self-Esteem CBT Workbook: Boost Confidence and Build Self-Worth With Positive Psychology, Radical Compassion, and Powerful Self-Doubt Quotes by Cody Evans

Our lives and how we choose to live it is 100% a “me-thing.”

Yet I doubt many of us choose to feel beaten, broken, and bruised by our past and present.

The truth is, our battle scars have a secret.

Although we may feel at odds with the world (or life itself), in the end, it’s not the world or life we’re fighting – it’s ourselves.

We’ve become dangerously good at being our own worst enemy.

But it’s hard to see life through rose-colored glasses when a painful past and stressful present scratch our lenses.

We’re beyond thinking our way to rainbows and sunshine.

For many, self-love feels impossible, self-acceptance sounds imaginary, and self-worth is down the drain.

It may feel out of reach, but you can spark belief in yourself and transform it into a fire that burns bright.

You can grow wiser from the wounds of your past and hold your head high in the present.

It’s A “Me-Thing.” A Self-Esteem CBT Workbook will personally guide you through a journey of self-discovery and internal renewal using thoughtfully curated cognitive-behavioral lessons and exercises to help you get out of your own way.

The ebook version will be discounted at $0.99 for a limited time

About The Highly Sensitive Person’s Recovery by Loralee Jean

If you’re ready to finally find peace, take back control, and rebuild your life after narcissistic abuse, then keep on reading!

You’ve heard a lot about narcissists. You’ve heard about love-bombing, gaslighting, stonewalling, bread-crumbing, emotional manipulation and all the control tactics used by those vampire-like people to take, take, take from you everything until your soul is bone dry.

But have you heard of sensory processing sensitivity? Those who have this less common personality trait are known as Highly Sensitive Persons (or HSPs) and all too often they end up in narcissistic relationships.

After leaving an emotionally abusive relationship to a covert narcissist, I had to give up more than just the relationship. Every shared connection with the narc had to go! I gave up our friends and community, our physical home, and the limiting mindset which always kept me trapped in self-doubt and unworthiness. It was time for a complete do-over!

It wasn’t until I began rebuilding my life that I recognized I am an HSP. I feel things much deeper than most people. I am extremely sensitive to stimulation in my physical environment. I have a problem keeping my personal boundaries. And my heart empathizes strongly with others’ pain because I want to be the person who makes everything “okay” again.

There are plenty of books out there about narcissists and the abuse experience, but if you are anything like me, you’ve given narcissism way too much of your attention! It’s time to focus on you! Who are you as an HSP? What do you need to be successful in life and relationships? And how do you recover your sacred personhood after the soul-sucking devastation of narcissistic abuse?

In this book, you will discover…
-How to cultivate seven healthy habits to rebuild a beautiful life and never be trapped in a narcissistic relationship ever again!
-What sensory processing sensitivity is and how to know if you have the trait.
-Why narcissists prey on HSPs and the mindset you need to start your life over again after abuse.
-How to tell if a relationship is toxic and the shortcut to decide with clarity which of your current relationships will be coming with you into your new life.
-The sure-fire way to know your relationship is healthy, and tips for building new friendships if it isn’t.
-How to set boundaries and why you need to hold a sacred space for yourself.
-A life-changing practical strategy to always feel at peace in your own home.

Using these powerful strategies, I was able to restore my dignity, create my own happiness, regain control of my life, find inner peace and ultimately live a victorious and beautiful life after experiencing narcissistic abuse. This book is the blueprint you need as you rebuild your new life. The strategies outlined will absolutely work for you too!

They will work for you even if you aren’t sure you are ready to go “no-contact” with the narcissist in your life, even if you have given up on being in a healthy relationship in which you are truly loved and valued for who you are, and even if the abuse happened years ago by a family member in your childhood.

If you know your sacred personhood was crushed from narcissistic abuse and you’ve never fully blossomed to discover the beauty and the value you bring into the world, then let me be the one to tell you…

It’s never too early or too late to start over again.

About Life with a Demented Drama Queen

Heart-wrenching and laugh-out-loud funny account of Kayce Lassiter’s efforts to care for an aging deaf mother sliding into the darkness of dementia in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.

How had this become my life? When had my previously almost magical life sprouted wings and been replaced with day after day in a circus fun house…one with mean clowns determined to suck the ever-loving life from me?

A year ago, my life was all about writing, marketing, going to writer’s conferences, and having my picture taken with gorgeous male cover models. Now I’m suddenly nursemaid to my mother—a deaf drama queen sinking into the abyss of dementia who hallucinates bugs that fart black clouds of poison. And if that isn’t enough, let’s just add a flipping pandemic, social distancing, and product shortages into the mix. Why not?

Totally inappropriate thoughts and stories about living with an extremely dramatic mother afflicted with dementia, who was also a deaf sign-language user. How I dealt with the insanity and chaos on the days that I could, and how I didn’t on the days that I couldn’t.

This book is not a soft, touchy-feely, sweet story about how to love and coddle your parent suffering from dementia. It’s not a medical look into the disease, and it’s not a how-to manual giving you all the ins and outs of how to deal with dementia. In fact, I recommend you do not follow my example.

It is my attempt at figuring out how to survive inside the insane asylum that had become my mother’s mind. It’s about how it sometimes takes dark humor to retain your own sanity amidst the turmoil, about how laughter can be OKAY when it is the only thing keeping you from slipping over the bleeding edge of crazy. It’s about how totally inappropriate behavior can sometimes be the only thing that allows you to live inside the chaos your life has morphed into.

If you are uncomfortable with dark, sarcastic humor or extremely offended by curse words, then this book IS NOT for you.

But if you’re the person who understands that sometimes you have to hang off the edge a bit in order to keep it all together inside your own mind, who understands that sometimes sanity-retaining laughter can be totally inappropriate and totally necessary, who is perhaps a person trying to navigate the landmines of a loved one’s dementia yourself, then get your copy and settle in. This book is most definitely for you.

Author Bio:
Kayce Lassiter is country through and through, and she writes snarky contemporary romance in a country setting—what she calls "Chick Lit in Cowgirl Boots," and she likes to throw in some magic now and then just for fun. She recently added a nonfiction work to her catalogue with her new release, Life with a Demented Drama Queen. Kayce’s expectation is that this book will be the first of many nonfiction titles featuring seriously dysfunctional stories—something she knows a heck of a lot about.

Kayce is an author, a Butterscotch Martini Girl, and a consummate smart-alec, which shows in her humorous, heart-tugging stories about everyday people complete with broken hearts and all the flaws that come with being human. Some of her characters will make you laugh, others will touch your heart, but they will all take you to a world where dreams are possible, hearts can be mended, and people survive through the power of love.

A second-generation native Arizonan, Kayce was born to deaf parents, making her a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults), just like in the movie. She grew up on a dairy farm, and says she spent the first eighteen years of her life trying to get off the farm and the next twenty trying to get back. Living on a farm as a kid can be fun, but it can be lonely, too. So, she learned to dream, to imagine, to pretend—something she's never grown out of.

Sitting in a corporate training session one afternoon, Kayce learned that the instructor (Amanda Cabot) was a romance writer. Having always had a desire to write, but never dreaming it was possible, Kayce’s curiosity was piqued. Here was a woman who was actually doing it. So, she reached out to Amanda privately and asked if it would be possible to pick her brain about fiction writing. Amanda was the soul of generosity and has spent a number of years in a mentoring role—something Kayce will forever be grateful for. It took a full year to write that first novel, and then Kayce spent the next year re-writing it ten more times, then polishing and editing it what seemed like another 50 times. But like anything else, once you’ve done something, it then becomes repeatable.

For a few years, Kayce wrote in her spare time, mostly on the weekends. After retiring from her long career as an IT Program Manager in 2015, Kayce then shifted to writing fulltime and now has 11 books out, with another scheduled for re-release later this year, as well as 3 anthologies published by The Butterscotch Martini Girls.

Kayce stepped away from writing for a few years to care for her deaf mother struggling with dementia and has now returned with the release of a book about those years with her mother titled Life with a Demented Drama Queen. Her future plans are to re-publish Book One in The Marilyn Club Series—Murder by Dummies, followed by a new release of Book Two in that same series—Dead Men Ride Motorcycles. But to-date, her most popular series remains The Delta Jane Series, which features a spunky fairy godmother who wears cowgirl boots and hats and rides a Harley. Kayce also plans to expand her nonfiction catalogue to include more dysfunctional family stories—because she’s got a boatload of them.

Kayce still lives in rural Arizona with her horse and three dogs, including a nut-job named Riley whose claim to fame is having eaten an entire rattan chair in one afternoon.
So let Kayce introduce you to her world of "Chick Lit in Cowgirl Boots" and seriously dysfunctional families. After all, what would a good story be without a little magic, or a crazy or two? That's what makes the world go round—right?
