Health by Design Project: From being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis to a happy, healthy life free from medications by Gregory Ronczewski

In the spring of 2020, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis – an autoimmune disease when the immune system attacks joints. The cause is unknown, with no cure. After several tests and X-rays, the doctors offered me a standard treatment – immune suppressants. However, I refused to subject myself to what would accompany me for the rest of my life. Instead, I decided to heal myself by applying what I knew best – a design process. Through several feedback loops focusing on changes to my lifestyle and diet, I liberated myself from rheumatoid arthritis and nasty allergies I had suffered all my life.

This book is not a piece of medical advice and should not be treated as such. It is not a guide, recipe or manual of some sort. Instead, it is an invitation to imagine. To allow yourself to dream. To challenge everything you have held to be true about yourself. To trust nothing and question everything, and not to comply. An invitation to open eyes and see what is hiding in plain sight. Or to close the eyes, for that matter, and then see. In other words, to trust intuition. To be curious and love our incredible self-healing bodies. To overcome fear because there is nothing to fear.

Are you ready to take the ride throughout the pages of this long-awaited two-part sequel to the 5-star, multi-award-winning, romantic fiction drama, The Perils of Autumn? The Meadows of Kentucky awaits your return.

The first, the anticipated, romantic fiction drama, Return to Autumn, picks up four years later, and sweeps you back to the often perilous life at Landon Lawns Stables. It is now April 1976, and life in Landon Manor has carried on for Autumn Leeves-Landon, and her mature husband, Cyril, along with their young daughter Abby, and their asture, devoted housekeeper and friend, Agnes Harris.

Life in the Thoroughbred stables has also carried on for head groom and trainer, Manfred Montgomery, and stable foreman, William Brown, as they continue their ongoing quest to bring Duff Taylor, Landon Lawns’ exclusive jockey, to justice for suspicious involvement in an unsolved racing incident from his past. However, Duff has managed to add to his growing page of secrets, that of which is about to be revealed within these exciting pages.

“I cannot say enough good things about Return to Autumn. I strongly urge you to put this on the very top of your reading list; it will not disappoint.” – 5 stars – Trudi L

Author Bio:

Top ranking romantic fiction author Rusty Blackwood believes the flair for fantasy is anything the mind wishes it to be, and she is a master at this. Within her expressive mind is found an endless array of romance, passion, textures and colours to sweep the reader to exotic, faraway places where anything is possible, proving that her words really do leave you breathless.

Canadian born Blackwood, who chose her nom de plume by combining both the colour of her russet hair with her estranged husband’s great, great, Scottish grandmother’s maiden name, grew up on her paternal grandfather’s farm in southwestern Ontario, Canada, where she developed her love of writing while still in grade school, entering numerous competitions and writing exhibitions throughout her area, and attributes her love of writing to her late father James Beecroft, and to the late Gladys Carroll, her elementary teacher. Although unprofessionally trained in the field, Rusty has always shown an affinity for the written word, a gift to express it, and has demonstrated this talent many times since becoming a serious writer in 2001.

Miss Blackwood is a bronze medalist winner in the 2006 Annual International Library of Poetry, sponsored through PoetryPoem.com, for her 2005 poem, Desire. She is also a Finalist of 50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading presented by The Authors Show.com

She has written an eclectic array of contemporary and traditional poetry, publishing her first collection in October 2009 titled, “Feelings: A Rhythmic Journey in Thought,” that was later re-released in a second collection with additional content in 2011 under the title, “Impressions: A Poetic Rhythm in Emotion”. Feelings was followed in April of 2010 by a collection of assorted short stories for children, as well as the young at heart, titled, “Young Minds,” that was later re-released as a second collection with additional content in 2012 under the title, “Through the Eyes of Innocence.”
Note: Feelings & Young Minds are no longer available.

In March of 2012 Rusty released the comedy short, “The Misadventures of Derwood Tugbottom,” her first in the Derwood Comedy Series — and this title was chosen by ManyBooks.net Best Books for May 2020 in the category of Best Literary Fiction: https://manybooks.net/articles/best-books-of-the-month-may-2020. This book is available in Paperback & Kindle on Amazon.

Following a previously hard fought, misguided, and misleading publishing road into the competitive world of mainstream fiction with her first two-part romantic drama, “Passion in Paris’ – Connections to the Past” released in 2010, and “Directions of the Heart” released in 2011 respectively — Rusty was finally given the chance to accomplish what she had originally set out to do, and this exciting reprieve can be found within the pages of her 4-star, heart-touching romantic drama, “Passions In Paris: Revelations of a Lost Diary,” released in 2013, and available in Paperback and Kindle on Amazon.
Note: Passion in Paris Connections & Directions are no longer available.

“Passions in Paris” was followed by the 2015 release of the riveting 5-star award-winning romantic fiction drama, ‘Willow’s Walk.’ This page turner was been given a 5 star rating by Readers’ Favorite while still in pre-release, so be sure to check it out in Paperback & Kindle at Amazon.

In July 2017, Miss Blackwood released her second installment in the Derwood comedy series, titled, “Derwood Returns”. In this hysterical follow-up to The Misadventures of Derwood Tugbottom, the bubbling and pretentious Englishman, known for his staunch outlook and demanding ways, decides to return to the picturesque village of Vinehaven on the Lake, where he takes up residence in the swinging Sunset Villa Retirement Center, located directly across the road from the infamous Anchors Away, of which he hastily departed two years earlier. Now he is back, with a hard-learned lesson beneath his belt, and hopes of finding the life that escaped him on his initial try. Available in Paperback & Kindle editions at Amazon.

In 2019 Rusty released the third installment of the Derwood Tugbottom comedy series, titled, “Derwood Goes Caribbean.” Travel with Derwood, and his best friend, Robbie, as they board The Travelling Minstrel on a swinging singles’ cruise to the Caribbean. Christmas 2014 is fast approaching and an intrepid Derwood talks Robert into taking a single’s cruise to the Caribbean with him, which sends them on another eccentric adventure. Will they find what they hope to aboard ship? Will happiness present itself in one the ports of call, or will it avoid them altogether? Find out, in this third Derwood adventure, certain to make you laugh as you cruise right along with him. Available in Kindle & Paperback at Amazon.

Rusty’s third novel, The Perils of Autumn, is a 5-star, multi-award-winning romantic fiction drama set in the early 1970’s at Landon Lawns Stables, a fictional Thoroughbred racing stable in the posh community known as The Meadows, located just outside Lexington Kentucky. This enthralling story centers around heroine Autumn Leeves, a twenty-four-year-old newly graduated RN, who is sent on assignment to Landon Lawns to care for the terminally ill wife of English equestrian master, Cyril Landon. However, once there, Autumn encounters a world filled with intrigue, wonderment, and a well kept secret. The Perils of Autumn was released on January 17, 2019 by Tellwell Talent Publishing, and is available in paperback, hardback, and Kindle editions at all Amazons, and in Kobo at Chapters. Paperback, and Hardback editions may also be ordered at all Chapters, Coles and Indigo across Canada.

The Perils of Autumn is a 2019 International Book Awards FINALIST in Romance, as well as the 2019 Best Book Awards FINALIST in Romance ( American Bookfest.com)

She is also a NOMINEE for Top Female Author, presented by The Authors Show, for the years 2017, 2018, and 2019.

The 5’1″(154.94 cm) spunky redhead is often asked how much of herself is found in her heroines, and she has been noted to say a fair amount, adding that most writer’s inspiration comes from many aspects of life experience, and reaping from them all that one can use to one’s best advantage, so in that respect she would have to say that many sides, aspects, and flavours of her heroines derive from her own personality and life.

Rusty has always loved the Arts in their many unique forms and this is demonstrated in the two Interior Decorating and Design diplomas she holds, as well as her many years spent on the south-western Ontario stage performing with her family’s country music band, The Midnight Ramblers, and the country – rock – blues band, MIRAGE respectively, as an accomplished vocalist, bassist, and rhythm guitarist.

Rusty firmly believes in going after what she wants, doing whatever is required to make it happen, and turning a deaf ear to anyone who says it cannot be done. She has faced many challenges throughout her life, emerging more determined with each, but make no mistake about her methods, for she is a firm believer in Karma and the adage whatever you put out in life revisits you, so be sure your intentions are proper.

Miss Blackwood now resides in the cultural city of St. Catharines, Ontario and when not at her keyboard, enjoys art, music, nature, gardening, and spending quality time with family, and friends.

THE BUSH CLINIC: Book I of The Tribal Wars by Stella Atrium

In this series opener, Dr. Greensboro works with tribal women on Dolvia to resist the oppressive rule of Rabbenu Ely. She mentors Brianna Miller (after a fashion) but is disappointed when Brianna chooses to follow a colleague with hopes to jump back to Earth.

“Addressing fears of recreating oppressive traditions on other worlds, this space colonization novel is far more than standard sci-fi, it is a femme-led examination of our societal ills, and a celebration of the strength found through open-mindedness and sisterhood. With diverse narrative voices, remarkably detailed world-building, and a strong coming-of-age theme for characters and communities alike, this is a powerful start to a new series.” Self-Publishing Review

The Lonely Seat: If Business Was Easy, Everyone Would Have One by Keith Trubshaw

Success is a great teacher, but failure is a better one. This is a story of an ordinary man’s journey, a rollercoaster ride between success and failure, between elation and misery. Most of all, it’s a book about resilience, not the kind theorised by academics but real, down-and-dirty survival after having been kicked when we are down.

Too many businesses start on a dream and end in a nightmare. The parables woven within these pages serve as a road map which shows the rocks and pitfalls that await the unwary. It shows that there is almost nothing that cannot be overcome. It helps turn those rocks into stepping stones.

Author Bio:

Described as a serial entrepreneur, Keith set up his first enterprise whilst still at school. By his late twenties, he’d established a successful business, growing exponentially against a tide of recession. Other businesses followed with varying degrees of success (and failure). He maintains that all of them brought lessons, some learned at the time, others only after years of hindsight. He writes not from a theoretical standpoint but as someone who learned his trade in the school of hard knocks. As well as an entrepreneur and writer, Keith is an accomplished musician and the chairman of a local football club. He gives his time to his old school to show the youngsters (as he puts it) . . . ‘If an idiot like me can do it, so can you’. He has two sons and lives with his incredibly tolerant wife in the English county of Shropshire.

I want to acknowledge my thanks to my wife. I know it wasn’t easy for my wife to get up every morning and see me at my computer typing away. Not only that, but I recently retired and write, which is what I do all day into the night. It gives me great satisfaction. I know it sounds like I am diverting. Still, after 40 years of being a therapist working with dually diagnosed patients (Drug addicts and other psychological issues that mostly came from the Department of Corrections and the Federal system), I need to do what I always looked forward to doing with my remaining years, one day at a time.

I was the director of two main counties here in Florida. Both inpatient and outpatient. When the patients did well, I felt good. Many of them went on to a successful life, college, and families of their own. And many of them sadly died from this scourge of the disease of addiction.

I hope you enjoy my creations and leave a review if you get the chance. I love to hear what my readers think about my books.

She independently published her first romance novel in 2000 and has continued to write in that genre, sometimes venturing into other subgenres. Always urban and contemporary styled, her writing is enjoyed all over the world. She has published over 55 books (paperbacks & ebooks)

The same year she published, Ms Hubbard also created Motown Writers Network to fill the lack of education and networking for Michigan authors online and offline.

In addition to romance writing, Hubbard has been featured at various conferences and workshops all over the United States and Canada, where she has taught authors how to sell their books on the Internet. She also published Internet Marketing for Writers & Businesses as a resource for those unable to attend her workshops. In the upcoming year, she will be featured in several anthologies and plans to publish additional e-books.

"I'm no superwoman," she states with a smile that seems infinite on her lips. "I'm just being an asset in the world instead of a liability."

Considered an addicted blogger by HoneyTechblog.com, nominated and recognized for her literary work in the Metro Detroit area, referred to as "A Literary Diva" by Detroit City Council and donned "Cliffhanger Queen" by her readers, she finds solace in speaking and educating on a variety of topics.

Author Bio:
Chris Towndrow has been a writer since 1991.

He began writing science fiction, inspired by Asimov, Iain M Banks, and numerous film and TV canons. After a few years creating screenplays across several genres, in 2004 he branched out into playwriting and has had several productions professionally performed. This background is instrumental in his ability to produce realistic, compelling dialogue in his books.

His first published novel was 2012’s space opera “Sacred Ground”. He then changed focus into “hard” sci-fi books, and the Enna Dacourt pentalogy was completed in 2023.

He has always drawn inspiration from the big screen, and 2019’s quirky romantic black comedy “Tow Away Zone” owes much to the film canon of the Coen Brothers. This has been his most well-received book to date, and spawned two sequels in what became the “Sunrise trilogy”.

His first historical fiction novel, “Signs Of Life”, was published by Valericain Press in 2023.

In 2023, Chris returns to his passion for writing accessible humour and will devote his efforts to romantic comedies. The first of these scripts is currently in development.

Chris lives on the outskirts of London with his family and works as a video editor and producer. He is a member of the UK Society of Authors.

About You and Me, Baby

The last thing I need is to fall in love. Especially with him…
My twin sister has other plans.
She works for a hot new dating agency that’s all the buzz.
And I made a pact with her. If we were still unmarried at thirty, we’d put ourselves out there fully.
Well, the time has come. And my sister isn’t letting up.
Now I have to start “dating in the dark,” whatever that means.
The rules are strict but simple.
No real names.
No seeing each other for the first few dates.
No exchanging personal info.
Straightforward but never easy.
Plus, I don’t have time for relationship drama. I have a hot, overbearing businessman breathing down my neck to buy my company.
He’s easy to forget about when I start dating Mr. Perfect. My new “sight unseen” date is the stuff dreams are made out of.
Until I realize that business guy and the new love of my life aren’t two people.
It’s the same guy—the one I love to hate and love to love.
Maybe it’s better to be single forever.
Or maybe it’s you and me, baby. Forever.

About Health by Design Project: From being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis to a happy, healthy life free from medications

In the spring of 2020, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis – an autoimmune disease when the immune system attacks joints. The cause is unknown, with no cure. After several tests and X-rays, the doctors offered me a standard treatment – immune suppressants. However, I refused to subject myself to what would accompany me for the rest of my life. Instead, I decided to heal myself by applying what I knew best – a design process. Through several feedback loops focusing on changes to my lifestyle and diet, I liberated myself from rheumatoid arthritis and nasty allergies I had suffered all my life.

This book is not a piece of medical advice and should not be treated as such. It is not a guide, recipe or manual of some sort. Instead, it is an invitation to imagine. To allow yourself to dream. To challenge everything you have held to be true about yourself. To trust nothing and question everything, and not to comply. An invitation to open eyes and see what is hiding in plain sight. Or to close the eyes, for that matter, and then see. In other words, to trust intuition. To be curious and love our incredible self-healing bodies. To overcome fear because there is nothing to fear.

About The Princess Behind Thorns (Thorns Saga, #1) by Cheryl Mahoney

For this princess forced under an enchantment, escaping from her spell is only the first ordeal. Claiming the throne is even more dangerous.

Princess Rose Amelia has spent a hundred years trapped in a magical garden, surrounded by walls of thorns that protect her from rescuers she never wanted. Nothing ever changes – until the spell twists to threaten her as well, and a prince finally breaks through the thorns.

Prince Terrence knows he would never be his father’s preference to inherit the throne. But he also knows his oldest brother won’t take care of their people, and rescuing the Princess Behind Thorns is the only way he can become heir. He planned on marrying her to claim the inheritance; he didn’t plan on falling in love with her.

Escaping from the magical garden and returning to court will plunge Terrence and Rose both into a deadly world of politics, intrigue and betrayals. Making a claim to the throne doesn’t guarantee it will be accepted, and deciding to marry doesn’t mean that they actually can. To protect the country and themselves, they must learn who to trust and who is an enemy – and somehow learn how to admit their feelings for each other too.

This fantasy romance, the first in a series, brings a new angle to the story of Sleeping Beauty by starting where most versions end. If you enjoy heroines finding their strength, fantasy worlds with a touch of intrigue, and slightly magical cats, you won’t want to miss the Thorns Saga.

In order to do so, it is vital that you focus on lifestyle changes instead of “quick fixes” that allow you to return to your old ways after a few days or weeks.
