Author Bio:
Growing up on a farm near Chicago, Illinois, I began my education in a one-room school. At an early age I decided to become a physician. Growing up on a farm had advantages, but obtaining a formal education was not one. Fortunately for me I was a curious child and wanted to know how things worked. Gifted with the ability to adapt to new situations and new information, I made the most of them. Unfortunately, however, I was a female. In a rural community a woman's value lay not in her intellectual ability but rather the certainty of her becoming a wife and mother. Subsequently, in ongoing battles, I had to convince parents, teachers, and counselors that I could become a physician. If it weren't for my strong spirit, stubbornness, and unrelenting desire to get what I wanted I would not have persevered and prevailed after experiencing other careers. While working as a psychotherapist, I stumbled upon osteopathic medicine. Whether by accident, coincidence or divine intervention, I was in the right place at the right time. Personally, I believe this was no coincidence.

Becoming an osteopathic physician brought many opportunities to meet people, help them, and learn from them. As a primary care physician I am able to serve others in many ways. Becoming a clinician, teacher, mentor and friend to patients, students, and colleagues, has made me a better human being. I have had opportunities to travel around the world observing and becoming educated to the diversity and spirituality of other cultures. Life is a journey from birth to death with a lot of good and happy times between them. I am enjoying that journey. Please join me in your own journey of Aging Optimally.

As a professor at Michigan State University, I served as director of the Family Medicine Residency Program, a member of the Consortium of Osteopathic Graduate Medical Education and Training (COGMET) as it became the State-Wide Campus System, and served as President of the Michigan Council of Graduate Medical Education. Later, while coordinating several undergraduate medical courses, I reviewed training grants for the Health Related Services Administration (HRSA). As a Primary Investigator for several MSU Department of Family Medicine (FCM) grants, I coordinated research of faculty, residents, and medical students. Then, as chairperson of the FCM Department for multiple years, I oversaw the clinical practice of all faculty, while maintaining my own medical practice. In our most recent training grant, FCM established a geriatric fellowship, aided our partner hospital to do the same, and added curricular content of treating body, mind, and spirit to undergraduate, residency, and attending physician medical training. My health policy fellowship training led me to the presidencies of the Michigan Association of Osteopathic Family Physicians and the Michigan Osteopathic Association. Election as a Trustee of the American Osteopathic Association followed my awards as a Fellow in the American College of Osteopathic Physicians and the American Association of Family Physicians. Learning and teaching others is a bright spot in my career and helps me to age optimally.

Author Bio:

Laura Pruett began her writing career at the ripe age of approximately three years old by signing her name in her books. She soon advanced to writing random words on doors and, eventually, kindergarten stories about a Santa Clause she had never been taught existed (this time, on normal notebook paper).

By the time she finally entered college classes, she would answer the introductory “If you could do any career that you wanted, what would it be?” question with, “I would like to edit dictionaries.” That said, although she minored in English, she majored in psychology, a degree which she obtained in 2003.

Years later, in 2011, she began working as a freelance writer and editor on a site once called Elance (now Upwork). Because she preferred editing to writing, she soon eliminated the writing portion from her offered services and focused on editing–including GoFundMe pages, personal memoirs, fiction stories, self-help books, scientific reports, financial reports, and so much more.

After years of editing others’ works and encouraging her husband, Michael C. Sahd, to publish his, Laura decided to finally contribute some of her own to the reading world. As of 2022, she has entered a number of short story contests, and one poetry contest. Currently, in addition to writing Gedra Gets a Man, A World Apart, and To Catch A Fish, she is working on another super-secret Kindle Vella novel, under a pen name. If you’re interested, here’s a one-word hint: Dwarves. Look around and see what you can find!

About The Vanished

Hundreds of individuals, including hikers, hunters and sightseers are mysteriously vanishing from U.S. National Parks. Accidents and animal predation have been ruled out as being the cause.

A Hiker Vanishes…

When Vanessa and Stefan go hiking in The Great Smokey Mountains National Park, little did Vanessa know, that after finding an idyllic spot to camp, it would be the last time she’d ever see her partner alive. Stefan seemingly vanishes into thin air.

Livestock Mysteriously Mutilated…

Since the 1960s, probably earlier, cattle and other livestock have been discovered by ranchers on their land, mutilated as if by scalpel or laser technology and drained of their blood. No tracks or other evidence as to who might be responsible for the unexplained deaths has ever been found.

Environmental Cause or Something…Else?

Robert Spire, along with Agent Belinda Caruso are sent by the U.K’s GLENCOM Agency to the United States to investigate the strange phenomena, where they team up with Spire’s old friend, ex- U.S. Marine Travis Dexter. Initially suspecting some kind of environmental cause, it soon becomes apparent that the U.S Military might be involved. Are the many hundreds of missing people, unusual lights in the night sky and animal mutilations linked?

As Spire delves deeper into the phenomenon, it quickly becomes evident that something inexplicable is happening and that there may well be an other-worldly explanation for what’s going on.

This edge-of-your-seat fictional sci-fi mystery thriller will take you into the weird and inexplicable but factual world of missing people, cattle mutilations and strange lights in the night sky. Buckle up and keep the lights on…

About Homer’s Odyssey Part I: The Journey Home

Admit it. When you first read Homer’s Odyssey two thoughts occurred to you: first, that it really needed updating ; and second, it lacked otters. We’ll I fixed these problems with my first novel which retells the story for children of all ages. For the middle grade reader it is the story of Homer,a young otter, and his buddy, Stanley, who must escape captivity and save his family, while getting into all sorts of mischief along the way. For the older reader, the story contains over 100 references to the original (both subtle and overt) with many laughs along the way.

Writing is my favorite thing to do. And it was while writing this book, that I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Never had I been so frightened or felt so alone. But, each day following surgery, when I would complete my radiation treatments, I would sit down with Ethel and Nellie and work on my book. It not only temporarily took my mind off my fears, but my characters actually gave me strength, as I wrote about all the brave things they did. Ethel and Nellie were my companions and I credit them with my trying to keep a positive outlook through a very difficult time. Thankfully, I have completed all my treatments and am cancer free. I enjoy spending time with my four delightful grandchildren, reading and traveling with my wonderful husband, who was my high school sweetheart! I feel like I have so much to be thankful for.

About The Gospel Truth

Where does a new believer turn to find truth? The Christian narrative today has morphed into a fluid and philosophical commentary centered around social injustices and motivational messages that rarely align with the gospel that Jesus preached. Sin is ignored and repentance is avoided by those who over exaggerate grace and diminish the holiness of God by suggesting he accepts us whether we are faithful to him or not. In a knee jerk response to the strict religious shackles of the early church many of today’s preachers bask in the hyper-sensitivity that accompanies the “cancel culture” that proclaims it will not be judged.
In The Gospel Truth, Bezan has endeavored to dissect prominent Christian religious denominations in order to expose their internal theologies and scrutinize the details of their doctrine under the litmus test of scripture. He offers legitimate discernment to differentiate between truth and almost truth and conveys an intelligible recognition of the genuine vs the counterfeit in a detailed and comprehensive assessment that leaves the reader judiciously satisfied.
We have an opportunity in this life to sincerely contemplate the things of God. We are provided with a window in time to question the hidden mysteries of scripture and truly discover who God is. The good news is that God has provided a path to salvation through Jesus Christ and the gospel contains the truths that solve the mysteries that have eluded men for millennia.
