About Avarice by Ella Carmichael:

It’s easy enough to hide the fact that you are a powerful psychic when you’re leading a humdrum nine to five existence. Easy enough when you are safely tucked away in your little house with the precious remote control clasped in one hand, and a large glass of red wine in the other. Easy enough when you have made a firm commitment to the single life because having a needy boyfriend would be far too much like hard work.
It’s not quite so easy when you find yourself in possession of a fortune, and suddenly find yourself catapulted into a strange new world.
That’s what happened to Dorothy Lyle on her 40th birthday.
Discover how a woman who has been masquerading as normal for two decades learns to cope with what happens next. And things certainly happen.
Dreams and Seals is a work of contemporary fiction set against the backdrop of the global economic downturn. Books One- AVARICE – spans the period between January and May of 2011. In the Republic of Ireland, all of the property developers have either gone bust or fled the country. Credit has dried up, not just for potential homeowners, but also for small businesses. There used to be a large furry cat that roamed the land and dispensed largesse with a shake of his feline tail. They called him the Celtic Tiger. The tiger died. Or he went away. Nobody knows for certain. The only certainty in 2011 Ireland is austerity, misery, disappointment, and a general feeling of having been let down and betrayed by those at the top.
Dorothy Lyle is feeling just as betrayed as everybody else. She is earning a decent salary, yet can barely make it stretch from one month to the next. She sees the world is falling apart around her. She witnesses the hardships her fellow citizens are enduring on a daily basis and desperately wishes that she could help them. But how? She is just one woman with a single income. What can one woman do?
On the day Dorothy turns forty she is still single. This is a source of minor irritation to her as it was not part of her life plan. By now, she should be well into her second marriage and enjoying wedded bliss. Not that she misses the nightmare of a human being who is her ex-boyfriend! On the contrary, she has lost all faith in her ability to choose a partner wisely. Rather than risk another disastrous relationship, she resolves to forego love forevermore. On the evening of her fortieth birthday, Dorothy finds herself in a very dark place with virtually no hope and even fewer prospects for the future.
She fully expects to live out her remaining years alone, although if she’s lucky she might have a couple of grandchildren to dote upon one day. In the meantime, she resigns herself to putting her head down and working nine to five for the next thirty years just to pay the bills. Fate intercedes that same night when Dorothy wins a fortune on the Euromillions lottery. Of course, being unexpectedly catapulted into an alien world of wealth is not without its complications, and Dorothy soon begins to realise that riches bring with them their own brand of trouble. Does nobody trust her to cope on her own just because she has money in the bank?
Dorothy never feels alone. She is fully cognisant of the shadowy presence that watches over her. Since she was nineteen, Dorothy has known that she is out of the ordinary. She views the world very differently than most folks. She sees things that nobody else sees, and sometimes she just knows stuff that she shouldn’t. Until now, she has never felt tempted to share with anybody the full extent of her abilities. Of course, it’s easy enough to hide the fact that you are a powerful clairvoyant when you’re a lone parent living a humdrum life. Not so easy when you’re one of the wealthiest women in the land, and everybody wants a piece of you. Not so easy when you find yourself privy to a number of visions and dreams of a particularly vivid nature.
Ella Carmichael welcomes you on the first step of the extraordinary journey that is the Miracles and Millions Saga.
This novel will remain at $.99 for the foreseeable future or may be listed free in 2016.

Author Bio:
Ella Carmichael can write for days about her characters, but cannot abide discussing herself. About eight years ago she was filling in a questionnaire and was asked what she was passionate about. Nothing was the answer. I feel passion for nothing. What sort of person am I that I cannot connect to something like other folks do?
Skydiving. Karaoke. Knitting. Surely there must something that fulfils, motivates, nurtures and inspires all at the same time. It turns out there was and there is.
Ten novels and over one million words later, it transpires that Ella Carmichael is passionate about writing, although she will always struggle to write about herself.

About “The Ariana Series” by Joan L. Scibienski:

SPECIAL EDITION- ALL 3 ARIANA BOOKS ONLY 99 CENTS!
Moving to Arizona to attend college proves to be the right decision for Ariana Abrams. Growing up, she faced an abusive childhood but survived, thanks to a loving grandmother in the physical realm, and the protection and guidance of her spirit guides on the Other Side. Forming deep friendships with seven other students, the group quickly realizes they have much in common; they are each becoming “activated.” They can communicate with the dead, they sense energy emanating from people and objects, and they feel a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of all things. Despite their new understandings, their metaphysical abilities are growing at rates that are at times alarming.

Just as their abilities are increasing, tragedy befalls a beloved member of the group. Spiritual beliefs are questioned as the young friends wonder why God would allow such a terrible thing to happen. Yet through their shared tragedy, their knowledge of God deepens. A mentor with profound psychic abilities shares her knowledge and practices with the group, helping them to reach new levels of understanding and strength.

In “The Ariana Series,” a collection of 3 books, challenging spiritual messages are explored. The conclusion to the series aims to help young adults, or anyone with an interest in metaphysics, to understand and develop psychic abilities, the ultimate goal being the protection of our precious planet. Deep answers to many of life’s most difficult questions are addressed in this uniquely special series.

About EAT CHEW LIVE:

Diabetes is at nearly pandemic levels, with 1 in 4 adults over 65 in the US being fully diabetic and 1 in 3 over age 20 being prediabetic. In Eat, Chew, Live, Dr. John Poothullil argues that it is time to reevaluate the accepted theory of insulin resistance as the cause of the disease since medical research still has yet to explain how it happens or why. In its place, he has discovered a far more logical scientific explanation for high blood sugar and diabetes.

From the author: I am fully aware that Eat, Chew, Live will be controversial and many will seek to disqualify my theory. But I am hopeful that open minds will recognize the illogic of the insulin resistance theory and will consider my explanation with due seriousness. My goal is to help the growing millions of people who are unaware that they are very likely to develop diabetes, and to change the belief of millions of people who think there is nothing they can do to stop taking medications and reverse an existing case of diabetes. I also want the book to create a new awareness in the entire medical community and begin educating patients that their own nutritional choices and eating habits hold the key to preventing diabetes. Finally,
I also hope that this book will influence governments who are subsidizing grain-based agriculture that facilitates foodmanufacturing companies to literally create a world of diabetics.

About Into Autumn:

A chilling account of how Lars Lindgren and Eileen Branson must face new challenges when all of humanity is forced into desperate survival mode when the grid goes down, and government and the economy crumble. True-life characters, in gravely realistic scenarios, sure to make some people squeamish.

The economy of the United States has failed, government has shut down and the grid has gone offline. There is rioting, killing and chaos everywhere. No internet, no TV, and no utility services. You have no water and little food. You hear gunshots, then banging at your door. You have no gun. What do you do? It is not a question of whether or not this will happen, but when? Could you survive if it happened tomorrow? The lives of Lars Lindgren and Eileen Branson have been turned upside down. Follow their struggle; learn how they must change in order to survive.
Lars Lindgren worked hard all of his life. At age 54 his kids are grown and have moved away to pursue their dreams. Lars decided it was time for him to pursue his dream of moving out of the suburbs. He longed to move to the woods, in the middle of nowhere. He dreamed of moving away from the hustle and bustle of the city life, to sell his business and live the remainder of his life with his wife in the wilderness living off the fat of the land. His wife loved the city, however. She wouldn’t, couldn’t move away from the lifestyle she loved. When she walked out on him, Lars moved to a 40-acre plot he found in the middle of nowhere. It was perfect. It had a small river running through it, there was an abundance of wildlife and he bought it on the spot and built a cabin there. After nearly three years, Lars still struggled to survive. He was also lonely for the closeness only a woman could supply.
Eileen Branson lived in San Antonio, about a hundred and fifty miles north of where Lars had moved. She had divorced twice and worked as a stock analyst for a stock trading firm most of her life. She just celebrated her 50th birthday. Eileen lived alone and had her daily routine which seldom changed, but when the stock market crashed and the country appeared to be going to collapse and burn, she fled the city. She had read enough apocalypse type books to know what might, what could happen in the city. She imagined her city world was about to come crashing down, and she wasn’t about to burn in that hell.
Eileen wasn’t nearly prepared for her trek out of the city, and she suffered as a result of her decision to flee. How she found Lars was anyone’s guess, but she did. Lars struggled with growing enough food for himself. Now he had another mouth to feed. Eileen did take the edge off his loneliness though. But, Eileen was a city gal. Could she learn the ways of the woods?
With the fall of the economy and the inevitable shutting down of virtually all government, could Lars, Eileen and their neighbors survive the ensuing onslaught of desperate men and women who could not fend for themselves and who would try to take from those who could, namely Lars, Eileen and their neighbors? What would they do in order to survive? How would their decisions change their lives forever?
Lars had a stubborn streak and did not like change. The failure of government services, local businesses and the internet forced him to change. Eileen had lived alone for many years and was extremely independent. She had a stubborn streak as well, and there was the inevitable clash of their personalities. Could she change? Would Lars change and adapt to a new lifestyle which included Eileen?
Lars seems to know how to do everything. Eileen, on the other hand, had no survival skills. She is extremely smart, but book smart, city smart, does not help in building a simple fire in a wood stove, or cleaning fish for a meal. She can cook, but cooking on a wood stove is much different than cooking on her gas stove in the city. There are bugs, snakes, alligators and every other creature in the woods that she is not accustom to dealing with. There are poison weeds and thorny vines which cause her pain. These are small, however, compared to seeing someone shot and dealing with all the new emotions she is now feeling. Change is aggravating for Lars; change is traumatic for Eileen.
Eileen does change over time and Lars falls in love with her. Eileen toughens up and learns to deal with just about anything, even to kill. They learn to survive with each other’s help, and in spite of each other’s quirks. They help their neighbors and their neighbors help them. Probably their best neighbor is Lars’ best friend, Reggie, due to his great care in planning his move to the woods long before Lars arrived here. He spent years preparing to move out of the city and into to the middle of nowhere. Reggie didn’t even have a road into his place. He wanted total isolation and brought everything he and his wife Emily would need to live out their lives comfortably without assistance from anyone. He did find that he could not get along without his neighbor and best friend, Lars, due to his wife’s addiction. Emily could not seem to go long without Lars’ pickled beets. She loved the tangy and sweet beets Lars made, and would trade most anything for this treat. Reggie had plenty to share with Lars and did not hesitate to give Lars whatever he wanted for a jar of beets. Lars didn’t have many needs, but when he did, Reggie was obliged to provide whatever he had for his neighbor and best friend.
In time, Lars was reunited with his son, but this reunion was not without tragedy. Reggie and Emily were also revisited by their daughter who ran away from home when she was a teenager. Men and women have needs and it was inevitable that James and Melissa were united. In spite of all their problems and struggles, James and Melissa survived and produced two healthy boys. Their neighbors across the river also had two kids only slightly older than the newborns. When they grew up into young adults, there was only one problem. There were three boys and only one girl. Debra, the only single girl in the valley chose her mate. The remaining two boys had no choice but to leave the valley in search of women for themselves. This troubled their parents, but Reggie and his huge arsenal and trove of survival gear insured that the boys were well equipped when they decided to leave the comfort of their home and families. Their families were sad to see them leave, but at the same time they had hope the young men would bring back wives to grow their little community.
Lars, Eileen and their neighbors named their little community Peaceful Valley despite the fact that much of the time it was anything but peaceful. There are peaceful and very passionate moments, and though they desire it to be peaceful all the time, there is way too much death and destruction to suit the inhabitants of this little community. Life is not always fair and life seldom goes as planned, but with hard work and persistence everyone can have a good life, even when it seems like everyone is trying to kill you. A strong back and constitution are added pluses. Life’s ultimate design is for the, strong, smart, and hard working to survive. A little luck never hurts, but much of the time you need to make your own luck. Lars worked very hard teaching Eileen all he could to insure she would survive. The inhabitants of Peaceful Valley worked very hard to pass their knowledge and skills on to their surviving offspring. This insured they were better able to survive in good times and bad. This is how you make your own luck.

He is book smart, but many years working for himself has given him common sense, practical ingenuity, numerous survival skills and the ability to make things work when they stubbornly choose not to work.
Larry wrote his first book Dangerous Waters in 1986 in an attempt to save his livelihood from government regulations. This book did not prevent the demise of his commercial fishing career. Larry began a new career as a contractor.
Larry and his wife raised three beautiful and smart children. After they moved away to pursue their dreams, Larry and his wife parted ways. Larry hasn’t looked back. It took a while, but after much searching, Larry met Ellen. She recently moved in with Larry and both plan to spend the rest of their lives together. Both work hard helping themselves and each other.
In 2012, Larry wrote his second book How to be a Smart SOB Like Me. According to his girlfriend, Ellen, this book is a rant. Larry says the book is his autobiography, but is much more than this. He claims it is a self-help pattern to a better life. Larry claims to be one of the happiest people on the planet, and would not change a single thing in his life. The book tells it like it is from Larry’s perspective. A rant? You decide.
This is Larry’s third book, but his debut novel. He thinks this is the perfect book for the times, and is well written and edited. Ellen played a big part in the editing process. Maybe he had to get everything out of his system with the last book to be able to write a great novel. Larry thinks this book has a great chance of becoming a best-seller.
If you wish to know more about Larry, maybe you should read his last book, How to be a Smart SOB Like Me. This book will tell you maybe a little more about him than you wish to know, but it is quite complete. He feels he shouldn’t repeat his biography here because it is available elsewhere.
Larry continues to work hard and play hard. Most of his work these days is for himself and Ellen. He continues to play poker and travel, but his yard, orchard, garden and other hobbies take up most of his time these days, as does writing. Larry has a cookbook in the works and has plans for a sequel to this book. He doesn’t consider himself an author yet, but he has great hopes for this book. Ellen thinks this is his best work to date, by far. A bona fide author? You decide.

Author Bio:
In my books I like to provide daily action plans for many areas of your life: health, wealth, happiness, productivity, work, relationships and business. Unlike other personal development guides, my content focuses on taking action. So stop reading outdated and over-hyped tactics that rarely work instead focus on information that can be put into practice now.

When not writing, I like to fish, golf, read, blog and spend time with family.

About Trials of the Gods’ Hands by Beth Madden:

True to his promise, Priest Samson has done everything in his power to help Kaiyu Tana, a young miracle adopted by his temple and revered by half the Areas. But though a powerful mind reader and a stronger friend, Samson’s powers have never been more limited. Sick from his gifts, many believe Kai is deranged, and the government has stepped in. One court justice now bears the burden to decide: is Kai Gods-chosen, dangerously unsound or a fraud?

Almost certain to be hospitalised or placed in the care of his clever, violent father, Kai unravels, Samson helpless as their hopes fade. Then he’s given a chance. The chance to do for Kai all he’s ever hoped. To bear his burden as Kai strives one last time to convince the court of his blessing and sanity before his fate is sealed. Though his suffering may be futile, dragged deep into realms of darkness with which the peaceful priest could never hope to contend, Samson never hesitates. Samson is, always, Samson.

Set in the Four Free Areas, a technologically advanced world where Gods watch from rivers and fantastical arts are practiced by wizards and priests, Trials of the Gods’ Hands is the fifth instalment of the story cycle Treading Twisted Lines with Darren, Maddi, and Kai.
