Marco Anissi comes out of a coma, days after his car slams into a light pole—the same pole he had crashed into exactly ten years ago, killing his fiancée, Susan. Coincidence? Not to him. Her spirit has reached out to him in a way he would understand.

With the help of Susan’s mother, Marco learns that a woman named Julia Tinsley had received her daughter’s heart. She lives in Tucson where she works as a dance teacher. Obsessed with the idea of reconnecting with Susan’s spirit, Marco travels to Tucson. But he can’t just walk up to Julia and introduce himself. What would she think—a complete stranger wanting to meet her? He signs up for lessons, hoping to develop a relationship.

Now, Marco must make a decision: tell the truth about himself and risk losing Julia with whom he’s falling in love, or remain silent and enjoy his new life with her.

There was something mysterious about her that him hooked and he was going to find out what it was, no matter what the cost. What he didn’t plan on, was finding out more than he bargained for, ultimately putting them both in danger. Will his need to have her win or will he lose her forever.

The Martyr’s Blade by Joel Manners  

TMB-eBook-Cover-SMAbout The Martyr’s Blade by Joel Manners:

FREE! Special holiday promotion, December 12th to 16th. Why? To be of good cheer!

When a series of gruesome rituals are discovered in the icy hinterlands of Albyn, three of the realm’s most storied guardians are sent to track down and bring those responsible to justice.

Lord Bradon, veteran commander and warrior, driven by his unabating love for a woman forever beyond his reach. Sir Killock, a Templar knight more at home in the endless wilderness than in any castle or court. The paragon Danielle d’Lavandou, heir to the Martyr’s Blade, a legendary weapon guarded by her ancestors for generations.

What they uncover is far more than simple murder: a terrifying threat to all the realms of mankind, thought sealed away so long ago that it now exists only as legend.

The fate of her friends, and of the entire kingdom, rests in Danielle’s hands. Will she be able to wield the Martyr’s Blade when it is most needed, and what sacrifice will it demand, this time?

As crown and temple clash over control of the Blade, Danielle must decide if she will sacrifice life, friendship, and even love, to defy the coming darkness.

A tale of courage, camaraderie, and sacrifice, The Martyr’s Blade has earned critical praise for its epic story of enduring characters and the stunning world in which they live.

Manners fashions a tasty fantasy. ~Publishers Weekly

This is a book I want to hand to everyone I love and say, “Here, read this. Don’t ask me any questions. Just do it.” If you are a fantasy/sci-fi lover with a healthy love of adventure and romance of the best kind, you will not regret this investment. ~San Francisco Book Review

The Martyr’s Blade welcomes readers into an incredibly dense and meticulously crafted world that becomes more enrapturing with every chapter. ~SPR

It is an exceptional debut novel, and a great fantasy novel in general. Definitely worth a read. ~Portland Book Review

Manners’ writing style is impeccable. His descriptions were vivid, his characters were colorful and engaging, and his plot was captivating, suspenseful and filled with action. ~Readerviews

Manners takes his time to craft the intricacies of every player, not leaving any character unfinished. That attention to detail also carries on to the descriptions, with his prose rivaling the beauty of poetry in certain moments, transporting readers to the stunning world that he has created. One can almost hear the whistle of swinging swords, and feel the icy chill of the barren landscapes. ~SPR

This is fantasy fiction you can sink your teeth into. ~San Francisco Book Review

Author Joel Manners creates an amazing world here, vivid and believable, based in our reality but just different enough to tease and excite the senses. He serves up a full sensory experience, providing detailed scenery, sounds and smells to bring us right into his magical realm. He populates this world with diverse people who look and sound different; and he uses this diversity to great effect, providing heroes and heroines that make and break the molds. ~San Francisco Book Review

An epic fantasy in the style of J.R.R. Tolkien, with a dash of George R.R. Martin’s brutal realism. ~Portland Book Review

The scale of the novel, which includes countless side plots, character tangles and betrayals, is undeniably ambitious. Even so, Manners pulls it off with impressive flair and sensitivity, balancing the swordplay and action with edge-of-your-seat suspense and meaningful dialogue. ~SPR

An epic fantasy read that the audience will find very difficult to put down. ~Readerviews

The story is distinctly new, and boldly pushes on certain boundaries of the genre that should make dedicated fantasy readers perk up and pay attention. ~SPR

Joel Manners does an excellent job of perpetuating excitement for his readers, and not being afraid of putting his characters in real danger, making for a visceral and emotionally wrenching read. Capturing readers’ hearts so quickly is no easy feat in the fickle world of fantasy fans, but The Martyr’s Blade should appeal to all lovers of this genre, both old and new. ~SPR

BURNOUT– How a Desert Lizard Restored My Faith  

MediumAbout BURNOUT– How a Desert Lizard Restored My Faith:

Are you feeling stressed? Burnt out?
Do you sometimes wonder if it’s not just the job but your whole life that sucks?
So did Dr. Young. Once a cheerful workaholic, suddenly she
• dreaded going to the job she once loved,
• was betrayed by her BFF who became her boss,
• considered suicide every day,
• couldn’t seem to find any place where she belonged, and
• couldn’t find anyone who could see her.
This is not a how-to-do-it book. It is a very personal story about “burnout” aka “dark night of the soul.” It is told from the inside out by a professor so diagnosed by a psychiatrist.
Why Share This Story?
To illustrate the concept of professionally diagnosed burnout – aka nervous breakdown or “dark night of the soul” – from the inside out, from the perspective of someone who had the experience, to shed some light on that path for other travelers. That is the primary goal for any memoir. According to the author,
I don’t think I’m special, although one reader did comment that my story was stranger than fiction. But I hope that by sharing my story I can reassure anyone having a similar experience that:
You are never alone. You are more than okay. No matter what you’ve experienced, you will get to the other side if you want to. And you will have all the help you need for your journey … if you choose to accept it.
Who is BURNOUT written for?
• People who can relate to the topic either from personal experience or by knowing someone who has.
• It is also for those who work in the mental health field – counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists
• And for support personal in organizations that want to protect their business as well as their employees.
• and for those who wish to share the revelations of a spiritual seeker in her dark night of the soul.
Dr. Young’s journey through burnout took several years. BURNOUT is the first book in the series, Burnout to Bliss.
IN BURNOUT, the author Reveals
• all the craziness she experienced — including night visions and O.B.E.s (out of body experiences)
• all the things she did that didn’t work,
• why she finally called a psychiatrist,
• all the other things that helped,
• how a camping trip with Indian Shamans healed her fear, and
• how a desert lizard restored her faith.
But most importantly, it shows, remarkably, how real healing began when she camped with spiritual leaders in a different country, in a culture vastly different from her own.
About the Burnout to Bliss series
Dr. Young’s journey from Burnout to Bliss is told over a series of stories, from dark night of the soul to “break-away” jaunts that not only changed her life, but undoubtedly saved it. “Bliss” — the hoped-for result of the seeker’s quest — concludes the series.
Book 2, SURRENDER, represents the first actual break-away from her job, leaving with no plans and one paycheck to start her journey in California where she rode a bicycle daily to recover her lost self- esteem and confidence. She studied A Course in Miracles in a hot garage, talked with her dead father in her car, and then camped again with Indian shamans in Mexico before moving to B.C. (British Columbia) to sell advertising.
Book 3 relates her life in B.C., bartering, before taking off for two months at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Heath in Lenox, Massachusetts. There she learned how to take care of herself mentally, physically, and spiritually, added another in her spiritual belt, and acquired new skills to help others.
Book 4 is the collection of lessons learned, seen from a wiser, more enlightened perspective twenty-seven years later. It is the bookend for that long journey of forgiveness – started by her nemesis. This will be the “how to” handbook for anyone seeking a more positive experience.

But uniting will not be easy for Nicolai, the simple peasant with a powerful secret; Marcellus, the warrior prince who’s no longer heir to the throne; and Corren, a gifted wizard whose ambitions threaten to ruin them all.

Their journey leads through unexpected doors. Along the way they encounter a cursed people, a haunting vision, a woman on the run.
