2. Power Up Your Brain – Five Simple Strategies - 2012-09-30 17:09:32-04
   Writing has always been my passion, even as a young child - but always non-fiction. I enjoy reading novels and have considered trying my hand at writing fiction; but, that is not where my heart is. I am more curious than imaginative by nature and have always been interested in the hows and whys of life. As a young child and well into my teenage years my goals were to become the first woman on the moon (a fantasy at the time . . . long before space travel), and to become a famous doctor who discovered the cure for cancer or some equally horrible disease. Even though neither of those goals became a reality, my interest in science and how things work - especially the human body - has never waned. I continue to read voraciously and write about subjects that interest me. My goal is not only to share my findings with others, but hopefully to inform and help others with their own personal explorations. At 74, I still enjoy a healthy physical body and a mind that still seems to work on a very high level. I look forward to many more years of research and writing about any and all subjects that interest me. I hope you will choose to travel that road with me through my books.

7. Why We Left the Left: Personal Stories by Leftists/Liberals Who Evolved to Embrace Libertarianism by Tom Garrison - 2012-09-30 17:14:08-04
   I am the youngest of four children to two Dust Bowl Okies who migrated to Shafter, California in the Central Valley. My family was fairly apolitical, with Republican leanings. I graduated with a BA in political science from California State College, Bakersfield in 1974 (magna cum laude); earned a MA in political science from University of California, Davis in 1976; and finished everything but my PhD dissertation (ABD) in political science at University of California, Santa Barbara in 1980. I began political life as a typical McGovern liberal, moved left to become a card carrying member of the Socialist Party USA, and in the late 1990s evolved into a libertarian. During undergraduate and graduate studies I was active in-on campus politics. As a graduate student at UC Santa Barbara in the late 1970s I led the Graduate Students Association in joining the nationwide Coors beer boycott and several other political campaigns. In 1972 I joined the War Resisters League and participated in and organized anti-war protests, including giving public speeches before crowds numbering in the hundreds at UC Santa Barbara. For more than 15 years I protested a portion of my income taxes as being war taxes. In the latter years of that period, I withheld part of my income taxes from the federal government. In 1980 I was arrested, along with hundreds of others, for civil disobedience at the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant. From the early 1980s to the mid-1990s I was a hyper-active socialist: twice running for Santa Barbara City Council openly as a socialist in the mid-1980s; worked with tenants (three city-wide rent control campaigns in seven years), and gays and lesbians (Deb, my wife, was the first heterosexual on the Gays and Lesbian Resource Center Board of Directors); and fighting political cultists in California's Peace and Freedom Party (the only socialist party with ballot status in California). During this period I also found time to work full-time as an editor (from 1982 to 2000) of a political science journal published in Santa Barbara. I believe my transition from leftist activist to libertarian, while not common, is instructive. Why would someone abandon a strong belief system, lose many comrades/"friends", and suffer the loss of much of his social network? Why, because I grew to see that the Left (and its handmaiden liberalism) lacked respect and understanding of the concept of personal responsibility; lying was an all too common occurrence that undermined the democratic process; leftists/liberals slavishly adhered to affirmative action preferences, quotas, and identity politics; and leftists/liberals--while embracing "diversity"--all too often display an intolerance for a real diversity of ideas. In 1997 I joined the Libertarian Party. From the early 1980s to 2000, I published several political articles in publications such as Liberty magazine, the Santa Barbara News-Press, the Santa Barbara Independent, The Socialist, Left Out, and Tenants United. From 2000 to 2009, I mostly dropped out of politics and concentrate on my job (Real Property Appraiser for the Santa Barbara County Assessor's Office); building a real estate "empire" (four rental condos); and exploring and hiking the southwestern United States with my wife, Deb, as often as we could get away. In the last two years (since 2010) I have concentrated on compiling and editing Why We Left the Left and publishing essays in regional newspapers--The Salt Lake Tribune and the The Spectrum (local St. George daily newspaper). The majority of my 20 published articles (as of July 2012) are hiking/travel stories along with some political and humorous essays.

In 1996, three versions of "Quexistence: The Quest for the Meaning of Existence" were sent to the U.S. Copyright Office and cataloged. The dream to be published was yet to happen. And now, his five daughters have grown into beautiful women, and they have blessed him with eleven grandchildren. The dream of writing has returned. While preparing "Quexistence: The Quest for the Meaning of Existence: Time Dreams" for Amazon Kindle, he decided to release a short story from the original manuscript.

12. Secrets Exposed - 2012-09-30 17:43:17-04
    Booklist says: Jones' suspense truly sizzles with an energy similar to FBI tales with a paranormal twist by Julie Garwood or Suzanne Brockmann. Alpha, military, and paranormal romance readers will want Jones' entire series. (About the Zodius Series -- Storm that is Sterling) In 2003, award winning author Lisa Renee Jones sold her Austin, Texas based multi-state staffing agency and has since published over thirty novels and novellas across several genres. Her staffing agency LRJ Staffing was recognized many times by The Austin Business Journal and also praised by Dallas Women Magazine. In 1998 LRJ was listed as the #7 growing women owned business in Entrepreneur Magazine. Her debuts with Blaze and Nocturne hit Bookscan's Top 100 list and her Blaze Hotzone trilogy made a showing on the list in 2011 also. With a new Blaze trilogy, a short story for Spice, the third book in her Zodius series published with Sourcebooks, as well as an rapidly growing indie following, 2012 will bring many new stories to her readers. Lisa is active on Facebook and Twitter, and you can find her at www.lisareneejones.com
    
13. A Thousand Glass Flowers - 2012-09-30 18:30:02-04
    I'm resident in Tasmania, the only island state of Australia, and I farm, working with my husband to produce the spectacular superfine merino fleece for which Australia is famous. I'm a former researcher/journalist with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation ... the Australian version of the BBC, a career I loved and prior to that I majored in history at university and it is perhaps a gentle irony that I'm moving back through time to the era I found most fascinating then ... the Middle Ages. I have had three fantasy books published thus far: all books of The Chronicles of Eirie with at least one more title to be published. Earlier this year, I had my first historical fiction published: Gisborne: Book of Pawns, the first book of The Gisborne Saga. Apart from writing and farming, I spend as much time as I can in, on, or by the water and with my two Jack Russell terriers. I also have a huge affinity with gardens and embroidery and take pleasure and contentment in The Small Things.
