Fly on the Wall: Days of Solitude
About Fly on the Wall: Days of Solitude
Dissenter. Prisoner. Survivor.
In the quiet depths of a jail cell–the story of a forgotten man, solitary and alone, unravels the truth behind the human mind and the limits it will go to retain its humanity. After condemning the regime of Saddam Hussein, Dr. Abdulla is spared the firing squad for a fate worse than death. Tucked away from the recesses of collective memory and out of reach from human contact, an agile mind slips into twilight and falls way into shadow.
Documented in a carefully kept journal, the journey of five long years begins with a single deep breath–as this brave man descends into the darkest corners of one’s imagination and struggles to hold onto his sanity. An incredible look into the lost world of the forgotten man–where even the word solitary fails to encompass the stunning finality of a world without.
Seen, heard, and read through the eyes of an able man–this unique portrayal of solitude speaks to the strength of the human spirit and its battle against the encroaching silence.

Author Bio:
I was born in a small town in southern Ontario, Canada, and always yearned to travel the world to experience new adventures within a variety of foreign lands. I remember as a young boy of five our family drove to Manitoba (over 1,600 kilometers), and as my siblings slept most of the time I was wide-eyed to the new world whizzing past us at 100 kilometers per hour
Fulfilling my wanderlust provides a rich and diversified quilt of experiences for my books. The many characters I write about are forged from the love of adventure manifested over decades of travel and research.
I have been writing since 2007 and have nineteen books on Kindle/Amazon focusing upon adventure and motivational/spiritual/self-help.
Puzzle Pieces, Fences, & Fortune Cookies: And Other Ways to Live Everyday Life in the Spirit by Brenda Cobb Murphy
About Puzzle Pieces, Fences, & Fortune Cookies: And Other Ways to Live Everyday Life in the Spirit by Brenda Cobb Murphy
This book will be free as an eBook for the 3 days of Tuesday, June 12, 2018 through June 14, 2018.
Did you know that God gives you puzzle pieces? Once they’re connected they’ll show you a picture of how involved he is in your life.
How many fences have you built around yourself? We need fences to give structure to life’s chaos, but those fences can quickly become a prison.
Are you aware that you daily write fortune cookies for yourself? Your fortunes have more power than you can imagine.
Each chapter shares something that you can take away with you to further your own walk with Jesus. For example:
In “Rut-Busters” I talk about allowing our lives to get into a rut, and nine of the characteristics of God that are instilled in us (beyond the usual ones we hear about).
“In Your Right Mind” talks about whether you’re living in default or not. Our physical body responds to our emotions, what emotions are you living by?
“Those Fearsome Mountains” tell what God showed me the night I was overwhelmed by my fears.
In “The Time of Your Life” I talk about the seasons of our lives and what season you might be in right now.
“Pulling Weeds and Swatting Bugs” shows the difference in the beautiful big picture and getting close up where you see the weeds and bugs of life.
In “Cinderella, Superman, and Sinbad,” I talk about three aspects of the Christian Life and what they look like, plus how we need to include all three of them.
At salvation God gave you your own personal backpack of physical and spiritual things that will help you on your walk of Adventure. In “Don’t Just Carry Your Backpack—Open It!” I talk about this backpack and what’s in it.
“Dreamschool Lessons for Life” are some of the lessons I’ve learned from dreams God has given me. For example, how the supernatural has certain principles that work so learn them and use them. Don’t carry baggage around with you just because you’re too distracted or busy to lay it down, & stop trying to put your make-up on yourself.
In “Where is Your Baby?” I talk about how we all have a baby, that is, the part of our soul that, without acknowledging or expressing it, leaves us feeling empty and unfulfilled, even if we don’t recognize that feeling for what it is.
These 30 chapters are chock-full of tips and experiences on walking daily with Jesus.

The Girl Next Door by Lisa Aurello
About The Girl Next Door by Lisa Aurello
Am I a killer?
The question haunts 25-year-old Jane Jensen.
When she wakes up in the hospital after a devastating accident, she finds her memory since 9th grade of high school wiped clean. As she heals, she begins to recover some memories and tries to stitch them together to reclaim her identity.
Regaining all of the lost years is proving elusive. Jane is aware that she’s gone from bullied, overweight schoolgirl to successful corporate wonk in the last few years. But when the wife of her popular and handsome teenage obsession gets killed in a professional hit, Jane makes yet another transition—to that of murder suspect.
It’s an unbearable position for anyone, but it’s so much worse for Jane—she can’t defend herself from the awful accusation for one major reason: Jane has no clue if she’s innocent or guilty.
The Girl Next Door will keep readers guessing until the final pages.

VA Disability Claim Approved!
About VA Disability Claim Approved!
Although the rules governing VA disability benefits and the VA disability ratings process often seem unfairly stacked against you, the purpose of this book is to educate you on what is needed and how to properly prepare the NEXUS letter of your Veterans benefits claim so you can level the playing field and WIN YOUR VA DISABILITY BENEFITS CLAIM! As you know, in order to be successful with your VA disability benefits claim, you must meet three specific criteria: • You must have a current, chronic disability; AND • the disability must have been caused by, the result of, or aggravated by your military service or a secondary condition that was caused by an existing service connected disability; AND • there must be a NEXUS or link between the first two criteria. This book explains the goals and anatomy of a NEXUS letter, addresses potential concerns that doctors might have in writing the NEXUS letter and demonstrates how to craft a compelling NEXUS letter that the VA can’t deny. As an added bonus, this book will also show you how to locate missing records and utilized creative ways to find information in support of an incomplete claim.

Author Bio:
My name is Rick Blair and I served nearly 27 years in the U.S. Air Force and then another 10 years in my “second career” as a Veterans Service Officer (VSO.) Now for my third and hopefully final “career,” I plan on taking it easy and writing books to continue my advocacy for Veterans, because the knowledge I gained during those 10 years as a VSO, I believe, is far too important NOT to continuing sharing with other disabled Veterans. As a VSO, I spent four years advocating for Veterans benefits at the St Petersburg VA Regional Office, another four and a half years working with patients at the James H. Haley VA Medical Center in Tampa, and then the last year and a half providing community-based advocacy for our Veterans in and around Sumter County Florida. As a result of this experience, I not only became familiar with VA law and the VA disability claims and appeals processes, I learned the procedural matrixes the decision makers (Raters, Decision Review Officers, and Judges) utilize to adjudicated disability claims. As a result of that experience, I discovered that by approaching the Veterans benefits process from the perspective of what could be granted, instead of focusing on what would be denied, I could help Veterans become VICTORS instead of victims. As I assessed the numerous self-help books out there related to VA disability claims and appeals, I found several that do a pretty good job addressing the claims and appeals process and how to submit a claim, but I could not find very much specific information on how to address and develop the NEXUS or link necessary for a VA disability claim. This will be the first book of what I am calling “The Veterans Benefits Series.” Subsequent books in this series will address such topics as how to submit a fully developed claim, how to prepare for your Compensation and Pension Examination, additional benefits you didn’t know you were entitled to, VA benefits for surviving spouses and children, and more. So whether you are seeking a reconsideration of a recent disability claim or your disability claim is currently in the appeals process, this information is vital to ensuring you have the knowledge necessary to win the veterans benefits you deserve!
