- A Life Singular by Lorraine Pestell -
About A Life Singular by Lorraine Pestell:A novel in six parts, to be serialised as e-books and paperbacks, “A Life Singular” tells the story of a successful man writing his autobiography. In essence a love story, “A Life Singular” is about dealing with mental illness, the choices we make between right and wrong, and how the one affects the other. Some of life’s lessons are harder to learn, and some amazing opportunities easier to take. The trick is always to understand the consequences of our choices, before it’s too late…
Part One – 2013
What do you do when you lose the one who gave your life meaning? You write about it. You tell the world how amazing it is to love and be loved by someone so special, what love helps you achieve and how it makes you stronger.
Jeff Diamond had built a life of influence, adulation and wealth by making the right choices for the right reasons. He lived by the law of reciprocity, a lesson learned on the streets as a teenager with nothing but an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. Plagued by the scars of a violent childhood, he created his vision and fought for it. And once he no longer needed to fight for himself, he fought for others.
Yet when Jeff’s dream girl was taken from him and their children by the ignorant act of a jealous misfit from his own home town, the millionnaire realised just how far he had come. Why had he succeeded when so many like him fail? It wasn’t complicated. The secret lay in the endless pursuit of love and wisdom; life’s two magic ingredients. Now Lynn was gone, he resolved to use his remaining days to account for their life in a way that would inspire young people to make his type of choice rather than García’s.
Then after their story was written, he would be free to go after her, to begin the whole incredible journey over again. Everyone has a life singular. One. Unique. Extraordinary.
Part Two – 2013
Writing an autobiography on behalf of someone else presented Jeff with an interesting dilemma. Did he make assumptions about what Lynn would have included, or should he restrict her contribution to direct quotes from her letters and diaries? He had their kids to protect, and her parents…
As he worked through the huge amount of material available in the press about their life as it had taken shape, interlacing it with highly personal stories, the widower crafted chapter after chapter of memories, both happy and heartbreaking. If this was to be a true account of their partnership, he owed it to the memory of his beautiful best friend to cover so much more than what was already on public record.
When it came to adding his own reminiscences of those early months, about meeting someone he already knew intimately, Jeff had no difficulty in recalling every single, vivid moment. Entire conversations came back to him, sometimes word for word, rushing through his fingers and into the computer.
Photographs prompted him too, as did the treasured possessions that surrounded him, like the old leather jacket he had received on his twentieth birthday. Lynn had left him shortly after that, just like she had left him now. The pull of being together again was unrelenting, but Jeff hung on to the dream that their life singular would one day resume. Once their story had been told.
Part Three – 2014
Fame and fortune beckoned. Jeff Diamond was a success, whatever that meant… Fans followed him everywhere, reporters and photographers hid around every corner and journalists recorded his many indiscretions. A whole different world to the downtrodden streets of Sydney’s south-west, where vices were satisfied by using people to one’s best advantage.
The star had more money than he could spend, his opinion suddenly counted, and the opportunities to feed his ever-hungry mind were plentiful. Yet the demons continued to torment him, no longer protected by the guardian angel who had been spirited away as soon as her family found out who Jeff Diamond was and where he had come from.
Suddenly the ambitious businessman and philanthropist found himself in the fight of his life. He would win Lynn’s heart by showing her father he was worthy, and by convincing his dream girl that they had something worth fighting for. Would she risk throwing her privileged lifestyle away for a man whose public persona depended on alcohol, drugs and a string of pretty girls?
Jeff had nothing to lose. The trappings of his new life held little significance until the soul-mates were reunited. This was where their life singular really began. Up until this point, there had only been playtime. Now they must step up and take responsibility. It was up to them.
Part Four – 2014
So this was it… Lynn and Jeff, two celebrities driven to change the world together, had grasped their life singular with both hands and were not about to let go. They had the Midas touch, gifted through the virtues of reciprocity and a deepening understanding of right versus wrong.
The prospect of turning two into four, mirroring the black jetstone ring that lived on the handsome man’s right hand, filled the couple with excitement. Never in his wildest dreams had the no-good street kid imagined himself as a father. His own had given him nothing. So much less than nothing, in fact.
Should Jeff settle that score? Was it worth disturbing the paradise they had planned, where their well-established careers showed no sign of slowing down and their hard work yielded so much for so many? Surfacing past wrongs and holding people to account for setting them right were part and parcel of letting go, his dream girl had insisted. And who was he to argue? She had been right all along.
As the book’s extraordinary chapters continued to document the achievements of their life singular, the solitary author cried and smiled in equal measure through the arrival of a small boy with blond, curly hair and the sultry gipsy girl who could see inside his soul from the moment she was born. Lynn had given him two new friends who must now be steered through their young lives, learning their own lessons about the endless pursuit of love and wisdom.
Part Five – 2015
The world was a big place, full of good and evil, beautiful and ugly, wonder and despair. Sometimes it seemed all was lost, returning from the latest round of negotiations and attempting to balance the surreal career of a chart-topping musician with the demands of an advocate for those discarded by mainstream society. With every problem the Diamonds worked to solve, a new one would be right around the corner.
All was not lost, however. Unity and liberty, the twin spirits living in two perfect beings waiting for him at home, were all Jeff needed to spur him on. They would one day inherit the world that he and his beautiful best friend were intent on changing for the better, along with the millions of others who wrote to them every day, seeking ever more of their energy, time and money.
The tired author kept coming back to reciprocity. We should never take more than we give. If only they could convince enough people of their byword… It was right that the struggle never ended. What would he do if it did? There was no room for self-satisfied fat cats in their life singular. What sort of example would that set for those who must follow?
Lynn had departed, the children were growing stronger now, and the widower heard the clock ticking night after night after night. Still with so many amazing experiences to recount, the lost boy knew his dream girl couldn’t wait forever. He was grateful for this opportunity to set the record straight, but gratitude could only take him so far.
Part Six – 2015
So, their handbook for life was complete. Not a cast-iron guarantee, but a good start for anyone looking for answers. The rest was up to its readers to make their own life singular. Jeff Diamond sealed the envelope on his manuscript, content that he had fully accounted for the life that had brought him to where he was today. Alone.
Lynn would be pleased with the way their autobiography had turned out, complete with a carefully selected set of photographs and proof-read from cover to cover by their gorgeous daughter.
It was now time to finish things off properly, and that began by acknowledging the mate who had stood by Jeff for almost thirty years. Gerry Blake had been his squash partner, his manager, his drinking buddy and his best man through the whole incredible journey, in so many ways his alter-ego. He was now getting married for the first time at forty-seven years old, no doubt spooked by what had happened to his old friend.
The thankful millionnaire and the ghost living inside his heart were determined to give Gerry and his new wife the very best send-off, before continuing on their own quest for reunion. Would they find a way to be together again? And how would the kids know to keep telling their singular story?

The idea for “A Life Singular” originated when Lorraine was 14 years old, and the story has continued to develop in fits and starts since then, whenever time and life events permitted. However, three years ago, a new element of the plot triggered a sudden urge to complete the novel, and since then the story has evolved into six separate parts.

- The God King -
About The God King:Heroes are not born, they are forged in the fires of apocalypse…
Mercenary Kian Valara wants nothing more than to retire from a life of blood and butchery. But when an arrogant princeling offers him enough gold to buy a throne, Kian straps on his sword for one last mission. And besides, what could be easier than guarding a prince who wants to sow his royal seed in every backwater fortress and village throughout the realm?
Turns out, dying would’ve been easier.
Kian discovers too late that the prince’s ambition has shattered the foundations of the world, and that he intends to remake all Creation.
As the moons collide and the skies burn, Kian and his devastated company of warriors hound the demented prince across a nightmare realm. At every turn, Kian must fight for his life against demons escaped from the underworld, and those who they have transformed into blood-hungry terrors.
Along the way, Kian meets a powerful and beautiful woman who prepares him for a battle he has small hope of winning. To triumph, Kian must summon all his skill and courage, he must sacrifice more than he ever imagined he could, and he must embrace the dark secret that binds him to the power-mad prince.
Only one thing is certain: if Kian fails, the world of men will burn in the fires of apocalypse, and the God King will rule unchallenged and unpunished.

- Known Afterlife -
About Known Afterlife:On the utopian world called the Provider, the Deagron Maker waits for destiny.
10,000 years ago, the deagrons reigned supreme. If left unchecked, the alien creatures’ insatiable hunger for the life giving Source was certain to obliterate the Provider. Forced to the brink of extinction, man discovered the power to shift the Source, spawning the first race, known then and now, as Guardians. Emergence of the Guardians turned the tide in the fight for survival, vanquishing the Deagron Maker and its spawn, ending thousands of years of unabated carnage. Or so it is believed, for it is recorded in the Deeds.
In the 6,000 years that followed, Citizens attained enlightenment, reincarnating as one of the four races- Guardian, Shifter, Healer or Mystic- and living the Certain Way as decreed by their beloved deity and planet: the Provider. As a present day Guardian, Steffor’s role in society remains that of protector, defending Citizens from, while mundane in comparison to the deagrons, the inherent dangers associated with life in perpetual wilderness, coexisting with a myriad of lethal predators. When not serving as a resident hero, Steffor spends his time training for the Dive. Having finally qualified for this year’s championship, manifesting his future fame is close at hand. That is, if it were not for the events, long in the coming, manifesting a different future for Steffor and his peaceful society. A future in direct lockstep with destiny.
On Antium, a world ruled by the ancient and merciless Church of Salvation, humankind has all but lost the will to grow, to dream, to aspire for a transcendent existence. Armed with the motive, the technology and the capital means, Stalling Alterian and his cadre of gifted conspirators lead a fertile insurrection against the global theocracy. Committed to saving their society, or die trying, the crucial and final phase of their clandestine mission only moments away from completion, Stalling discovers a fatal error in his calculations that threatens to destroy it all. Absent of any solution and the enemy rapidly closing in, can Stalling impose his technological miracle onto humanity before the noose pulls tight?
Stalling and Steffor inhabit different worlds, yet they are connected. Together, but unbeknownst to one of them, they race towards an inevitable, if unimaginable collision.
About
KNOWN AFTERLIFE is a balanced blend of fantasy and sci-fi. The two adrenaline-fueled narratives form parallel tracks: one, a planet-sized tree of magic, mythical beasts and romance beset by world-changing events, the other, a futuristic world of nearly recognizable technology and timeless corruption. The novel speculates on the subject of spiritual evolution, contemplating the moral obstacles we all face while in pursuit of enlightenment. Exploring the gray area between science and mysticism, Copeland’s debut novel entertains with fast-paced action while moving the reader to ask “what if” explorations of their own beliefs. Inspired by Joseph Campbell’s “17 Stages of the Hero’s Journey”, Known Afterlife is the first book in the Provider Trilogy.
Praise for KNOWN AFTERLIFE:“…grow in spiritual faith while entering the strange and fascinating worlds he has paired, parried and opposed…a heady start and a book with more of a profound level of meaning than we read in other novels in this genre.” Grady Harp, Amazon.com Top 50 Reviewer, Vine Voice, Hall of Fame Reviewer
“…Copeland does an expert job of reminding us that reality is what we make it and our beliefs, allegiance and loyalty are ours alone to give.” Jay Mittener, Amazon.com Top 500 Reviewer

- My Life My Africa: a REAL African adventure in search of Love, Freedom and True Community -
About My Life My Africa: a REAL African adventure in search of Love, Freedom and True Community:Have you ever had the desire to just leave everything you know behind and set off on an adventure? Philén Naidu did just that. Aged 23 he dropped out of university, strapped on a 25-litre backpack, left family and friends behind and set off into the wild unknown to discover his true potential.
Naidu allows us to join him in his mid-life crisis as he journeys into an Africa that few of us get to truly experience. There’s no new camera and bug spray in his luggage, as he heads north from his comfortable suburban South African upbringing into the wild unknown.
It’s a movingly honest account of his time spent traveling and living amongst the people of rural Zambia, his westernized way of thinking constantly challenged as he becomes accustomed to a new way of life.
Whether he’s bumping into wild rhino at night, sitting in the shade of mango trees with the villagers, sharing in their ‘local brew’, or learning the intricacies of smuggling items across the border for business, what he discovers along the way about life and himself is so clear and simple, yet so difficult to apply.
It’s a journey that will have you thinking about everything – where your food comes from and with whom you share it, to how you’d go about fighting off competitors to get the prized liver from a recently culled elephant.
Take a Journey through Africa and see it with your Soul.

Born in 1976, in Durban South Africa, to two government-school teachers at all-Indian schools, in a country governed under the law of apartheid, I began a life that held little promise.
A boy who was taught to believe in his dreams and to take the necessary risks in pursuing them, I have lived – and continue to live – a life devoted to freedom and truth, mostly against the currents of convention.
I spent 2001 to 2006 in wild, unknown and rural Africa, following a call on my heart. I released my debut book about this, My Life My Africa, in 2013.
From 2006 to 2013, I have been in Johannesburg South Africa, devoting my time to the community of Zandspruit ‘Squatter Camp’, setting up the My Life My Africa Children’s Foundation. This NPO is committed to grassroots development, particularly focused on initiating community development projects, equipping and empowering local leadership, and then handing over.
Currently working on Book II, I am now in India, with my mind set on returning to the rural outskirts of South Africa in 2014, to begin a Rural Regenesis Initiative, focusing on Sustainable Farming and Creative Writing amongst the youth.
But these are my plans … and I have learned that my plans are always bound to change when the Divine in me speaks up and redirects my steps. SO, we’ll see how things go, as time moves forward…

- Beyond the Rear View Mirror by Shelley Streit -
About Beyond the Rear View Mirror by Shelley Streit:Beyond the Rear View Mirror is the inspiring story of how Shelley Streit defied the odds against her achieving success in life after a childhood spent in the child welfare system following experiences of abandonment, rejection, and abuse as a child. While Shelley could easily have slipped into a less-than-desirable lifestyle, she chose to forge ahead at every challenge or setback, each time taking one step closer to a richer and more successful life.
This book will take you along for the ride, as Shelley revisits some of the many detours she has travelled on her road of life during the past three decades—starting from the tender age of three up to the present day. You will learn that many of the detours she had to take were not of her choice or making, but that she was a driven and determined individual who refused to be held back.
Her story is both illustrative of the basic human instinct for survival and self-preservation as well as a clear indication of how the resilience which is ultimately required to achieve success in life involves equal parts emotional intelligence, mental toughness, and unfailing courage that reframes every setback and failure as just another, surmountable detour on the incredible road of life.

- A Touch o -
About A Touch o:It’s just another day for New York City diner hostess, Cassie Durrett, until the painfully gorgeous man from her nightmares walks in for breakfast and changes everything she thought she knew about her world in the sexy new thriller, A Touch of Darkness (e-Lit Books; October 2013; 6.99).
Already the first prize winner of the Central Florida Romance Writers of America (RWA), A Touch of Darkness by debut writing duo Tina Moss and Yelena Casale, is a gripping new urban fantasy tale about what happens when angels and demons collide.
Unable to explain her flares of purple energy, or frequent paralyzing headaches, Cassie chalks them up to a baffling medical condition or just plain freakishness. But when the mysterious, smoldering Gabe walks into the diner, Cassie is nowhere near prepared for his explanation. Skeptical, she is nevertheless drawn to him because he may be the man of her dreams – literally. Cassie recognizes Gabe from a series of strange and erotic nightmares. She is more than a little wary of his sudden arrival – especially when he reveals himself to be an angel as well.
Orphaned at seven years old, Cassie has learned to depend on her best friend, party-girl and fellow waitress, Zoey. But when Cassie learns the truth about her identity, it is Gabe’s help she needs. Having “fallen from the light,” he must protect Cassie to earn redemption. That proves daunting as he realizes others are fighting for her loyalty and there’s little time before the deadline, her 28th birthday.
New to his earthly responsibilities, Gabe grapples with the idea of human emotion and how to deal with a beautiful woman. Despite the obstacles, Cassie and Gabe lean on each other for strength as they fight the real and perceived demons that threaten their existence and the earth’s balance.
The two travel across the U.S., stopping at the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas – “Sin City” – and a cozy Vermont cabin, as they pursue answers and help from those in the world beyond.
Will positive or negative forces prevail? Will Cassie and Gabe have to forsake each other for the good of others, and can they resist their mutual attraction, especially when Zoey’s life depends on it?
A sexy thriller with a bold twist on angels, A Touch of Darkness combines good, evil and more than a few fireworks.Learn more about the author, buy the book, or follow them on social media:

- Fordham University & the United States -
About Fordham University & the United States:In Fordham University & the United States: A History (E-Lit Books, October 2013, $19.99), Debra Caruso Marrone delivers a breezy, informative title for American history lovers and anyone associated with the 172-year-old institution. Founded as St. John’s College in 1841 by New York Archbishop John Hughes, the university began as a vehicle to educate young men and deliver Catholics to the upper class.
Caruso Marrone, a Fordham graduate and member of the alumni association’s Board of Directors, documents the life of the university, intertwining university events and the students and faculty members who made their mark on the nation. She writes about national figures who impacted the institution, once a stomping ground for U.S. presidents, war heroes and leaders in all fields. The book contains the story of Fordham’s rebirth, alongside that of the Bronx, under its three most recent presidents and includes photographs dating back to the mid 1800’s.
A fundraiser for Fordham students via the Fordham College Alumni Association, the book will also be of interest to those with ties to the Bronx. 70% of all proceeds from will be donated to the Fordham College Alumni Association for its Journalism Scholar’s Award.
Even those who know the basic history of Fordham – the playing days of legendary football coach Vince Lombardi, the university as home to the troops during both world wars and the years of unrest during Vietnam – will find new historical details.
• Fordham, a destination for students from the North and South, produced a number of Civil War heroes who often met on the battlefield, including Robert Gould Shaw, commander of the first all-black U.S. Army regiment made famous by Matthew Broderick in the movie, “Glory.”
• When Franklin Delano Roosevelt visited the university on October 28, 1940, just days before his second reelection, he was sent there by a campaign manager who was afraid the president might be beaten by Wall Street industrialist Wendell Willkie who had paid a recent visit.
• Harry Truman and Richard Nixon both received honorary degrees from Fordham; the latter posed with a live Ram (the school’s mascot) who wore a “Vote for Nixon” button on its forehead.
• Tragically, Robert F. Kennedy was scheduled to deliver the Fordham commencement address on June 8, 1968, just three days after his tragic assassination in Los Angeles.
“I tried to produce a work that showed how this grand institution fit into the scheme of U.S. history,” said Caruso Marrone, owner of the New York City media relations firm DJC Communications.
“Conducting the research was a labor of love. I hope readers will enjoy learning so many great tidbits about New York City, the U.S. and Fordham. I believe Fordham alumni will experience a reinforcement of that special connection that starts with a short four years and lasts a lifetime, somehow transcending decades and miles.”
The book reveals information about the prejudice felt by Catholics before and after the turn of the last century, the reason a number of Popes during that era urged New York’s Catholic hierarchy to establish an upper class of its own. It details the evolution of Jesuit and Catholic higher education.

- The Seduction of Miriam Cross -
About The Seduction of Miriam Cross:(New York, NY ) – A famous author. A secret life. A sexual awakening. A gruesome murder.
A team of women, private investigators led by a gutsy protagonist, make their mark in the first book of W.A. Tyson’s addicting, new Delilah Percy Powers Mystery Series.
THE SEDUCTION OF MIRIAM CROSS (e-Lit Books; November 2013; 6.99) a provocative murder mystery set in and around Philadelphia, catapults readers through the double life of literary author Miriam Cross, her final days, and a fatal secret that led to her brutal murder.
When the media ignores the grisly crime and the police department issues a gag order, Miriam’s niece knows something’s terribly wrong. When threatening phone calls begin, she turns to the one woman she knows she can trust: Delilah Percy Powers.
Smart and tough, though battling her own losses, Delilah takes the case. Her trusted staff members – an ex-nun, a militant soccer mom and an abrasive ex-stripper with killer abs– run down leads.
With little to go on but a sordid sex tape and the author’s newly discovered alias, the detectives set out to catch a killer and uncover Miriam’s demons without unleashing their own, especially after Delilah reluctantly hires Matthew Anderson, a somber and secretive investigative journalist with needed computer-hacking skills.
As the pieces of Miriam’s seemingly chaste life and mysterious death fall into place, Delilah becomes immersed in a dangerous world of unspeakable greed and cruelty that extends far beyond the death of a literary icon and U.S. borders.
Can Delilah find out who killed Miriam Cross without becoming the killer’s next target?Learn more about the author, buy the book, or follow them on social media:

- The Wanderess by Roman Payne -
About The Wanderess by Roman Payne:
A gothic mystery novel and story of passion and romance set against the backdrop of a timeless Mediterranean landscape, The Wanderess tells of the notorious adventurer Saul and his passion for the beautiful Saskia, a mysterious young orphan girl whom he meets and vows to protect as his child.
When Saul’s pursuit of pleasure and fortune gets tangled with the quest of this “Wanderess” for her long-lost friend and her own fortune, the two find themselves on a picaresque path that leads them through Spain, France, Italy and beyond; their adventures weaving them deeper and deeper into a web of jealous passion, intrigue, betrayal, and finally, murder.
The Wanderess is a love story, a novel of heroism, friendship and romance, portraying the lives of two unsettled vagabonds led by their own strange desires, mutual obsessions, and one single fortune.
The Wanderess is the fifth novel by Roman Payne, an author who pushes the boundaries of poetic language, imagination, sexual charge, and psychological mystery-his prose bearing always a timeless quality that transports the reader to far-away lands and times.

Goodreads Profile PageAuthor Bio:
Roman Payne, expatriate novelist living in Paris, was born January 31st 1977 in Seattle. He left America in 1999 and spent years traveling in Europe and North Africa before finally settling in France. His itinerant lifestyle is reflected in his work which often focuses on the lives of travelers, wanderers, and dreamers, ever searching for meaning, and what he calls ‘the poetic life.’
Another trait of Payne’s writing comes from the fact that, for years, he has lived his day to day life speaking only French, reading almost exclusively in French. His habit of forming French (Latinate) constructions has lent a unique style to his prose. While at times this Gallicization may strike the reader as peculiar, it overall adds a magic to his prose that enhances his exotic settings and characters.The Wanderess by Roman Payne is a post from Awesome Gang

- Never Buried -
About Never Buried:First installment in the Kindle-bestselling “Never” series of cozy mysteries!
“A funny, fast-paced, clever, and unusual mystery that will have readers clamoring for more. Sheer delight.” Carolyn Hart
The truth about what happened in 1949 went to Paul Fischer’s grave… Too bad his body didn’t!
Advertising copywriter Leigh Koslow doesn’t pack heat — just a few extra pounds. And she doesn’t go looking for trouble. When she moved into her cousin Cara’s refurbished Victorian house, she wasn’t planning on discovering a corpse — certainly not one that had been embalmed ten years before. But as anyone in the small Pittsburgh borough of Avalon could tell her, her cousin’s house has a history attached. A history dating back to two mysterious deaths in the summer of 1949.
Someone wants Leigh and Cara out of the house — someone who has something to hide. But that someone doesn’t know Leigh’s impetuous cousin, and when Cara digs her heels in, Leigh looks to her old college chum, local policewoman Maura Polanski, for help. But the answers the trio find only point to more questions. Were the scandalous deaths of fifty years ago really an accident and a suicide? Or were they murder?
The nearer the women get to the truth, the more desperate someone becomes. Because some secrets are better off kept. Especially when they hit close to home!
“A thoroughly delightful debut. Bright, breezy, and witty. I couldn’t put it down.” Tamar Myers

- Vertical Gardening: Grow Up, Not Out, for More Vegetables and Flowers in Much Less Space -
About Vertical Gardening: Grow Up, Not Out, for More Vegetables and Flowers in Much Less Space:The biggest mistake gardeners make each season is starting out too big and then quickly realizing their large plot requires too much weeding, watering, and backbreaking labor. Vertical gardening guarantees a better outcome from the day the trowel hits the soil—by shrinking the amount of “floor” space needed and focusing on climbing plants that are less prone to insects, diseases, and animal pests.
Notable author and gardener Breth Markham has tried and tested thousands of varieties of vegetables, flowers, and fruits and recommends the best plants for space-saving vertical gardening. His grow-up, grow-down system also shows which ground-level plants make good companions underneath and alongside climbing plants. Best of all, many of greatest climbers and mutually beneficial plants are available in seed packets in every local garden center.
With a mix of DIY and commercially available string supports, trellises, pergolas, raised beds, skyscraper gardens, and topsy-turvy planters, the vertical garden system reduces work, increases yields, makes harvesting easier, and can be practiced in spaces as small as a container or a one-by-four-foot strip. Vertical Gardening features WITH color photos of vertical methods and showcases beautiful, trouble free perennials, shrubs, vegetables, annuals, and fruit perfect for this new, rewarding way to garden.

- Message from the Black Swan: A Medical Doctor Journey to Healing Truth through Cancer -
About Message from the Black Swan: A Medical Doctor Journey to Healing Truth through Cancer:Message from the Black Swan describes the true story of a Medical Doctor who was diagnosed with advanced stage cancer and went through a process of deep inner transformation while searching for the core principles of healing.
For ages, our limited perception of the world didn’t let us see the truth of who we really are, and cancer remained “incurable” because the physical body was the target of treatments.
The author provides a novel concept in approaching cancer treatment through viewing a human being as a whole body-mind -spirit unity, and shows us the concept’s meaning, importance, and influence on our lives.
This book brings a profound paradigm shift in our thinking, specifically in the way we see or have seen the world of cancer treatment. It conveys messages that are essential to healing, provides key information and guidance to recovery.
