- A WILL TO CHANGE by BETH RINYU
About A WILL TO CHANGE by BETH RINYU:* This is a companion novel to A Cry For Hope and can be read as a stand-alone
In A Cry for Hope you meet Jamie’s carefree younger brother, Will. Now read his story…
Will McAdams is a New York City firefighter who has always lived in the shadow of his older brother, never quite measuring up to his parents standards. He lives his life without regrets, and answers to no one. The women love him and he uses that to his advantage, making it clear that he only has one use for them.
Gabby Spencer is a nurse in the burn unit of a busy New York City hospital. Her guarded personality doesn’t allow many people into her life and her patients take the place of her lack of family. She masks the pain that she is harboring deep inside with quick wit and sarcasm.
When Will becomes one of Gabby’s patients they form a special bond and soon become each other’s solace. But Will doesn’t see her like every other woman in his life. She means the world to him and he feels an underlying need to always protect her – most of all from himself. Even though he wants her more than he’s ever wanted any other woman, he’s not willing to take that next step and jeopardize everything they have. When jealousy and pain begin to overtake their once perfect friendship, will Will’s fear of falling in love and never measuring up, cause him to lose the one and only woman to ever own his heart?

Ever since I can remember, I have always enjoyed Creative Writing. There was always something about being able to travel to a different place or become a different person with just the stroke of a pen – or in today’s world a touch of the keyboard. I am the author of The Exception To The Rule, An Unplanned Lesson, An Unplanned Life and Drowning In Love, A Cry for Hope. and A Will To Change.My life is not as interesting as my books or the characters in them, but then again whose life is? I was born and have lived in New Jersey my whole life. I’m a mom of twin teenage boys, a teenage stepson, a crazy Border Collie and a cat with an identity crisis! I guess you can say writing is my form of Calgon! I am married to a wonderful guy – but we’ll keep that between us, I don’t want him getting a big head!
Thanks for taking the time to learn about my books and me! If you decide to read them (and I hope you do!) please be sure to go on and review it for me – yes, even if you don’t like it!

- Poetic Potpourri by Marc Mullo
About Poetic Potpourri by Marc Mullo
My first released title to market thus far is a personal collection of some of my favourite pieces from the initial decade of my writing career. Each poem evokes various thoughts and emotions, as all literature should do, and every poem even tells its own story; in so many words. It is the ideal addition to any book collection, and also makes a wonderful gift for any occasion. This book is perfect for all ages and reading levels, and could also be used as an educational tool, in the proper circumstances.

- Fibromyalgia – The Complete Guide
About Fibromyalgia – The Complete Guide:This book is a multifaceted approach on how to tackle the complicated disease we know of as fibromyalgia.
Fibromyalgia is a complicated mix of different health disorders that has left the medical profession scratching its head.
The worst aspect of fibromyalgia is a contest between constant and unremitting pain or mind numbing fatigue. Add to this sleep deprivation, digestive problems and depression and it’s no wonder that people are forever seeking answers to their distress.
Well meaning doctors don’t have too many answers to the fibromyalgia puzzle. I have attempted to address most of them in this book.
Here you will find information on hormone disruptions, sleep disorders, diet, stress and more. I have tried to cover every aspect of fibromyalgia to help people through the minefield and find some relief. Namaste.

- Warrior King Legacy
About Warrior King Legacy:Warrior King Legacy is a dramatic and powerfully written piece of Historical Fiction, absorbing from beginning to end.
It tells the story of Vercingetorix, the king of the Arverni tribe, who in 52 BC became king of the Gauls. It follows him through his battles with Julius Caesar, and his need to triumph over adversity. Warrior King Legacy has at its heart the theme of a man driven to fulfil the dream of a domineering father. Vercingetorix means “Warrior King”.
“Getorix” is born into a brutal world, a world where only the strongest will prevail. From an early age his father, Celtillus, impresses on him the enormity of the threat posed by Rome to Gaul.
This becomes Getorix’ legacy and he grows up intent on keeping his homeland free from Rome’s tyranny.
No easy task; there are many obstacles to overcome before the tribes will acquiesce with his desire for war – after all, Getorix is just nineteen when he first appeals to the tribal leaders for their loyalty, a loyalty not forthcoming from his own uncle, Gobannito.
Against the odds, Getorix unites his nation’s disparate tribes, and together they make war on Caesar and his legions.
Getorix’ army chases the depleted legions all the way to the mountains. But he decides not to pursue; instead, he turns his army around to winter in the fortress town of Alesia. This is a mistake; Caesar turns his army and follows.
Caesar builds a wooden wall around the town, “imprisoning” Getorix’ army.
This leads to a dramatic and highly moving denouement, the siege of Alesia…

- Collateral Damage: A Patient, a New Procedure and the Learning Curve by Dan Walter
About Collateral Damage: A Patient, a New Procedure and the Learning Curve by Dan Walter
Amazon.com Customer Reviews:
“I highly recommend this book. Mr. Walter brilliantly tells the story of how one of the foremost teaching/research hospitals in the country practiced on his wife without disclosing that they were doing so. I was riveted….”
“One man tries to help his wife and get to the bottom of how this could happen. It reads like a medical thriller, but unfortunately is true. A fight against medical ego, corruption, payback by the corporations who exploit the medical work and the very powerful medical institutions. This is a must read for anyone who is a consumer of medical resources…”
“An outstanding book. Rarely does an author so courageously expose truths of the medical profession that need to be told, and from a first hand perspective. Should be required reading for patients and anyone in the medical field.”
“Five Stars. This book is an on-target indictment of dangerous, unethical, and money-driven factions within our health care industry. Many ill patients receive quality care in America, but far too many are also victims of the dark heart that poisons American healthcare. Read it. It could save your life.”
“Awesome… Well Written.. A true story that reads like a thriller…”
“I had to stop reading several times, in order to walk around my house—it is unbelievable…”

- Hamster Island by Joan Heartwell
About Hamster Island by Joan Heartwell
Heartwell chronicles her heroic (and often hilarious) determination to live an unremarkable life as a member of a poor, super-dysfunctional family that includes a mostly absent father, a religious fanatic mother, a kleptomaniac grandmother, and two special needs siblings, all residing more or less in the middle of a parking lot. The story moves from Heartwell’s lively coming of age in the sixties to her role as caretaker for both siblings after her parents’ deaths, at which time she must resort to extraordinary measures to locate the midpoint between their needs and her own.
Brilliant and magical, Hamster Island takes its rightful place among such darkly comic and original memoirs as Augusten Burroughs’ Running with Scissors and Jeannette Walls’ The Glass Castle.

Faced with frustration from her loved ones and the dark machinations of a new colleague, Viive feels herself getting pulled under by guilt, apologies, and workplace shenanigans. But then she meets the Migraine Mafia, a quirky, vibrant support group, and she discovers that a room full of strangers just might be able to change the way she views her illness–and realizes that if she doesn’t learn to ask for help, her health isn’t the only thing she stands to lose.
Sometimes painful, frequently hilarious, always entertaining, The Migraine Mafia is the story of one woman’s quest to thrive in the face of chronic illness.

In childhood I observed a huge love between my mother and father and promised myself that one day I would meet a man whom I would fall in love with head over heels. At the age of 16, I wrote my first romance story that was published in a student magazine and was read by my entire neighborhood. I enjoy writing romance stories that readers can turn into captivating imaginary movies where characters fall in love, overcome difficult obstacles, and participate in best adventures of their lives. Most of the time you can find me reading a great fiction book in a cozy armchair, writing a romance story in a hammock near the ocean, or traveling around the world with my beloved husband.In Love With a Haunted House is a post from Awesome Gang
