Author Bio:
Alex Craigie was ten when her first play was performed at school. It was in rhyming couplets and all she can remember about it is that:

• it was written in pencil in a book with weights and measures on the back
• the two heroes were Prince Rupert and his brother (whose name was changed to Sam to facilitate the rhyming process.)
• as writer, producer and director she ‘bagged’ the part of female lead.
When her children were young, she wrote short stories for magazines and since then has fulfilled her ambition to write a novel.

Someone Close to Home has won two ‘Chill with a Book’ awards – The Reader’s Award and the Book of the Month Award.

Alex lives in a small village in Pembrokeshire, Wales, and knows that she and her husband are lucky to have their children and grandchildren living nearby. It’s often chaotic and noisy but these are her most treasured moments and she savours them – even if she’s reduced to an immovable heap after they’ve gone.

As an independent author, without a big publishing machine behind her, she is very grateful to all the people who have found and bought her first book – and a huge thank you to those who’ve gone out of their way to write a review on Amazon or Goodreads. These reviews make a massive difference to ‘Indies’ and the positive ones encourage other readers to risk buying a copy.

What else can she say? Nothing, really. Writing this personal promotion has been very, very hard and she needs to go away now and lie down in a darkened room, preferably with a big bar of chocolate…

Author Bio:
Award winning Author of the Independent Press Award and NYC Big Book Award. A.L. Long is also the recipient of the National Indie Excellence Award.

My love for writing began several years ago after an early retirement from a demanding job that I loved, but also hated because it consumed so much of my time. Now, I am able to focus my time on what I love. Writing romance has been a life long dream and to actually say that I am a published author is beyond what I would have ever expected.

Even though some may say I have a little naughtiness in my books, I look at it as an added bonus for my readers. After all what is a romance book without a little spice.

When I am not writing, I enjoy spending time with friends either at home or out on the town. Mostly, I enjoy a relaxing night at home where I can enjoy a glass of wine in the company of a good book.

About Contract Drafting and Negotiation for Entrepreneurs and Business Professionals by Paul A. Swegle

“A former Securities and Exchange Commission and in-house attorney, debut author Swegle provides a clear methodology to understand and analyze business contracts in this exceptionally useful book…. Written in a clear, straightforward style, this book packs in a great deal of detail in a very small space. Other competitors in the business law field may try to engage the reader through authorial hand-holding; Swegle doesn’t. His plainspoken, direct approach places the emphasis where it belongs–writing contracts that protect the interests of both seller and buyer….” – Kirkus Reviews

Author Bio:
I have been living in Scotland writing stories, books and poems since my Primary 7 teacher encouraged my first book about Flash the beefburger. I have been writing on and off ever since, for more than 30 years. My preference is for adult adventure/ crime books with an added hint of romance, but I also enjoy writing children’s adventure books too. I recently came runner-up in Freelance Market News Flash Fiction competition.

I now teach other youngsters in the hope of encouraging them to become creators of something special. My creativity doesn’t get restricted to novels as I love painting too.

I get lots of my inspiration from my travels. I always head off to somewhere a little different for my vacations, including South America, South Africa and Sri Lanka, to name a few. I now own a little lodge over on the East Coast of Scotland and love driving over to write while overlooking the lake. It gets my creative juices flowing.

These are the birth places of anecdotes and short stories and poems that intertwine like curls of smoke from a campfire. In this eclectic collection of writings one can hear the cries of joy and pain, the sighs and whispers of familial love, and the exultant aspirations of conquering despair and poverty by a hunger that drives human spirit to overcome limits and boundaries. This is a side of life that many will never see. Take a voyage through uncharted waters, ride the river rapids through unexplored canyons, and in the end, discover what is lost when a culture or lifestyle is taken away or buried under tons of prejudice and misconceptions.

About Absolute Threshold by Charles Kipps

Kindle book will be free from December 1 – 5 2018
The CIA came up with an ingenious plan they dubbed Spychiatrist. In theory, assassins and covert operatives would be more at ease in a therapy setting. So the agency hired a psychiatrist to bring agents in from the cold: Dr. Harvey Chatham. But a flaw in the strategy soon became apparent within the dark corners of the CIA. After weeks of sessions, Harvey was walking around with classified information he had obtained from dozens of patients. In fact, Harvey now knew too much. And in the compartmentalized world of intelligence that could not be tolerated.

About From heroin to Christ by E. A. Moldovan

Elizabeth’s life is penned very simply in this inspiring memoir about her incredible battle, to find a way to live.
Born the year her parents immigrated from Europe, in a large catholic family, she experienced poverty, neglect, rejection and abandonment before the age of eighteen. She had no sense of self and felt invisible most of the time. Her father passed away after battling cancer for eleven years, when she was nineteen years old. It was then that her world took a bad turn, when she fell in love with a drug addict/dealer.
Twenty four years later, after using heroin everyday while trying to raise her five children, circumstances forced her to leave him. Elizabeth and her three year old daughter had only one bag of clothes and a stroller. They were homeless for three months and she attempted suicide.
Without a car, phone, money or friends and in very poor health she was lost and broken and needed help but was too stubborn to reach out, believing her life to be worthless and of no value. She did not attend any detox, meetings, rehabs, counselors or doctors but with only sheer determination and persistence, overcame her dependency on drugs.
Elizabeth began her harrowing journey towards the light of truth and found freedom in Christ alone. She remains clean to this day and is a very private person. She wrote her story only to help people who suffer like she did and need help to find a way to live without drugs.

About Beck the Halls

It’s supposed to be our happily ever after, and it is—sort of. We already went through the hard stuff. We already leveled up from the pain, the mistrust, the tears—and the glorious makeup sex. It’s supposed to be smooth sailing from here, right?
Except now I’m as big as a house and ready to rain twin babies and Beck is busy trying to spread himself thin trying to take care of me and our dysfunctional tattoo family at Gallery B. I need him now more than ever, but there just isn’t enough Beck to go around, and I never thought I would say that considering he’s a mountain of a man.
But that’s why I fell in love with him. Because of his huge…heart.
I know our happily ever after will have some bumps in the road, I’m not so naïve to think everything will be perfect. But while Beck is trying to please everyone, our piercing artist pulls a disappearing act, taking the heart of our receptionist with him. And while I’m comforting her sorrow as she blubbers into my triple E pregnancy boobies, my water—and apparently all of Hell—breaks loose.
Santa, I know you’re a busy guy, but can I make one Christmas wish?
We’ve put in the effort and I’ve been really, really, mostly good this year. Can we please stick to the plan?
Merry Christmas,
Regina

About From Quantum Physics to Energy Healing – A Physicist’s Journey to Mind and Healing by Ph.D. Johanna Blomqvist

What is the “energy” transmitted in energy healing?
What can science and research say about energy healing?
Doesn’t modern science rule out phenomena like this?
Does energy healing work and, if so, how?

Physicist Johanna Blomqvist’s book will give answers to these questions.

Astonishing accounts of healings omitted by mainstream media led her to a journey that is still continuing. In the book, she tells about her path to energy healing and her own extraordinary experiences. The obvious question was how to fit these experiences to the scientific model she had learned.

Energy healing and such topics as subtle energy, the effect of mind on healing and remote healing are usually perplexing to those used to an everyday materialistic worldview. In the book, energy healing is approached from the viewpoint of known modern science. Could quantum physics give answers to energy healing? After all, one could say that according to quantum physics, we are all one and the same vibrating energy at the subatomic level. Besides quantum physics, the book also addresses the questions of mind and consciousness.

The book has been written as an aid to those who wish to broaden their horizons or are already practicing energy healing, yet could use tools for telling others about it. The book is also meant for everyone who may be seeking support from complementary medicine.
