Don Orwell is a founder of Superfoods Association, Superfoods blogger and author of several Superfoods books. He switched to eating only Superfoods in 2009 after being diagnosed with heavy vascular problems and low thyroid. Superfoods helped him regain his health, lose weight, fix his hormones imbalance and helped with his sons ADHD problem. He decided to describe his weight loss experience and inspire people to start rethinking their eating habits.
Equation for weight loss and good health is very simple:
Whole Foods Superfoods + Water – Processed Foods = Weight Loss and Good HealthQuotes from the Authorities:
“Our food should be our medicine and our medicine should be our food.” – Hippocrates
“All diseases begin in the gut” – Hippocrates 460 – 370 BC
“In the United States and most Western countries, diet-related chronic diseases represent the single largest cause of morbidity and mortality. These diseases are epidemic in contemporary Westernized populations and typically afflict 50-65% of the adult population.” – Origins and Evolution of the Western Diet: health implications for the 21st century -American Journal of Clinical Nutrition

“Astonishingly imaginative and thoughtful. Aegis Rising sets a festive narrative table and makes the reader eagerly anticipate a sequel.” ~ Samuel F. Pickering ~ (English professor who inspired main character played by Robin Williams in Dead Poet’s Society)
Three Worlds Collide, Unlikely Heroes Arise.
Over a remote northern forest, a small plane carrying five teenage friends flies into a freak storm. Struck by lightning, the aircraft crashes and the passengers find themselves cast into a life-changing adventure.
In a hidden valley, a mysterious people gaze at the stormy sky as a glowing object with fiery wings disappears behind a mountain ridge. The astonishing sight reignites an ancient prophecy foretelling the arrival of five chosen ones destined to become bearers of light against a dark storm gathering on humanity’s horizon.
In a distant city, a secretive organization led by a shadowy figure initiates a sequence of cataclysmic events designed to wreak havoc across the planet, beginning with a remote mining site in northern Canada.
As the three worlds collide, unlikely heroes arise. Armed with powers entrusted to them by the ancient prophecy and the resilience of their life-long bond, the five teens take a stand against a malevolent foe.

When not devouring a book or writing one, S.S.Segran can be found standing behind the cauldron of life, stirring a potion made up of chores, parkour, gaming, drawing, horseback riding and–having recently jumped off a perfectly fine airplane at fifteen thousand feet – perhaps skydiving.Aegis Rising is a post from Awesome Gang

Things could be worse for LAPD Detective Kate Sexton.

But things could be worse . . . like Kate could be stalked by a sadistic serial killer while she tries to solve a thirty year-old murder and save the life and reputation of a cop wanted for the crime. Come to think of it, maybe things couldn’t get any worse because this is Kate’s life.
Can Kate Sexton elude the killer, solve the cold case, keep Bernie’s sexual wanderlust in check, keep her best friend under control, save a cop from death row, and find love again? Only time, loads of trouble, and tons of laughs will tell. Hollywood Assassin has more twists and turns than a car chase on Sunset Strip with a Hollywood starlet at the wheel.
If you think you can handle Kate Sexton’s crazy life . . . order Hollywood Assassin today.

Rhett Goreman was born in amongst the ruins left by an automated bombing raid some time after WWIII in the 26th Century. However, he was lucky enough to be educated by the utopian society that rose from the ashes; a utopian society that was destined not to last.
You may be interested to learn that the inspiration for “Escaping the Sun” stemmed from an epiphany that Rhett’s publisher had way back in the 1980’s. When he saw the first schematics of modern digital electronic telephone exchanges, he noticed that long distance signalling systems had been used to connect the internal building blocks of the exchange together. He realised then that this would pave the way for today’s highly distributed telephone networks and also make overseas call centres a reality. Well you will find that in Rhett Goreman’s world the same reasoning has been applied to cybernetics.Escaping the Sun is a post from Awesome Gang

- Real Santa -
About Real Santa:STARRED REVIEW BOOKLIST
“If somebody doesn’t make a movie out of this book, there’s something wrong with the world. This could have been played as an out-and-out slapstick comedy, but instead the author approaches the story like a character study: a portrait of a man with the best intentions in the world watching those intentions collide with reality. It’s a steamroller of a story, starting small, with George’s idea, and getting bigger and bigger as George tries to put the elements together, as his obsession takes him further and further away from reality. Beautifully done.”
David Pitts Booklist
“The author marries the everyday dramas found in the novels of Tom Perrotta and Nick Hornby to the high camp of Carl Hiaasen or Dave Barry. Adults looking for a funny holiday-themed tale that doesn’t lose its sense of wonder in the face of realism will find a treat here. A lovingly crafted comedy about the madness that fatherhood inspires.”Kirkus Reviews
Best-selling author Hazelgrove (e.g., Ripples; Tobacco Sticks) captures the human need to believe in something good. This book will satisfy readers looking for a happy Christmas story.– Library Journal
“Hazelgrove’s lively improbable narrative will appeal to the readers in the mood for holiday fiction.”Publishers Weekly
“This heartwarming and humorous Christmas story shows the determination of one man to bring magic to his daughter’s childhood.”
Foreword Reviews
George Kronenfeldt is an unemployed engineer with one shot to keep his daughters belief in Santa intact. When Megan tells him the only way she will believe in Santa is if she can videotape him and then tells her fourth grade class she will prove the existence of Santa Claus by posting her video to YouTube, George realizes he must become the Real Santa.
Real Santa is a funny heartwarming story of parenthood gone wrong and illuminates what lengths parents will go to keep their children happy.

Authors Own words
Born in Richmond, Virginia, and carted back and forth between Virginia and Baltimore, I blame my rootless, restless personality on my father. He was and is a traveling salesman with a keen gift of gab, great wit, a ready joke, and could sell white tennis shoes to coal miners.
It was during these sojourns up and down the east coast I soaked up the stories that would later be Tobacco Sticks and Mica Highways. I think authors should exploit their family history before raping the rest of the culture for material.
Dad finally got tired of the east and moved to the Midwest when I was fourteen. We settled outside of Chicago. It is here I came of age and went off to college for seven years — two degrees and one novel later I returned to Chicago and lived in many different apartments, trying to get a little two hundred page manuscript called Ripples published.
When a local printer said he would take a chance on my book, I jumped and had my first novel published by a man who had never published anything. Great reviews and moderate sales put me back to my jobs as a janitor, baker, waiter, construction worker, teacher, real estate tycoon, mortgage broker, professor, security guard, salesman — anything to make a buck and keep writing. The printer lost his mind and published my second novel, too. That landed me with Bantam after some rave reviews and a paperback auction for my second novel, Tobacco Sticks.
A third novel, Mica Highways, was sold on less than one hundred and fifty pages to Bantam and then I did a strange thing — I settled down to writing in Ernest Hemingway’s birthplace in Oak Park, Illinois. I have since been looking for the Great American Novel up in the old red oak rafters and I think I might have finally found one…. My new novel, Rocket Man, is an exploration of what the American Dream means today. A man moves to the suburbs and his life falls apart in one week. It is a satire but with events now, it seems very timely.
A fifth novel, The Pitcher will be out in September 2013. The story of a boy with an incredible arm but no way to make the highschool team. When an old World Series pitcher agrees to coach him, he finds that a dream is sometimes all you have.

- Life of a Loser – Catching Santa -
About Life of a Loser – Catching Santa:From the self-proclaimed “unluckiest kid in the universe”, comes a hilariously illustrated tale of epic (fail) proportions.
All thirteen-year-old Lou Zuhr wanted for Christmas, was anything other than the hand-knitted, mole-hair sweater his grandma made for him. Every. Single. Year. But, what can you expect when your name is written on The Naughty List in permanent ink, AND you’ve also managed to make the most famous person on the planet (AKA Santa Claus) your mortal enemy? From 10 tons of coal, to a 500-pound crate of moldy broccoli, Lou has received some of the crummiest Christmas gifts imaginable!
But, Lou has finally had enough! He intends to capture the Jolly Man in Red, and -when he succeeds – to demand back-payment for nearly 10 years of rotten gifts.
Join Lou on another laugh-out-loud volume of misadventure, as he tries one hair-brained idea after another in his misguided attempt at CATCHING SANTA.

About The Twilight Swimmer:
One year after her beloved sister drowned while swimming in cold New England waters, sixteen-year-old Brandi Vine is still struggling to understand what happened. As she mourns on the rocky beach where her sister’s lifeless body washed ashore, she is unaware that a pair of haunting gray eyes is watching her from beneath rolling ocean waves.
When Brandi attends a party that goes horribly awry, the mysterious owner of the gray eyes emerges from the ocean depths and comes to her rescue. She only sees him for a few brief moments, but that’s all it takes to turn Brandi’s world upside down. What were the strange markings on his neck that seemed to flutter with every breath? How did he possess such inhuman strength and grace? And why did he look at Brandi with such longing?
Brandi’s fascination with the Swimmer grows. She makes it her mission to find him again and learn who – and what – he is. Meanwhile, the Swimmer’s fascination with Brandi compels him to leave the safety of the ocean behind, to be with her at all costs. They are from two different worlds, but neither of the star-crossed romantics can resist the pull of the other.
As her feelings for the Swimmer swell beyond her control, Brandi comes to realize that only he can unlock the secret of her sister’s final swim.

Hi, I’m Lindsey P. I am a proud wife and stay at home mom. After my first child was born, I started to focus on the ingredients used in our everyday health and beauty products. The more and more research I did, the more nervous and upset I became towards companies and their lack of care towards consumers. Fast forward two years, shortly after having my second child, I was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer. During my fight against this disease, I began researching possible causes. I soon began to learn just how many harmful ingredients were not identified on product labels. I vowed once I recovered to share my knowledge through my newly established company producing all natural products, that include soaps, balms, bath salts, etc etc. My books are intended to not only educate, but also to share the knowledge and passion that I have gained through my struggles over the last few years.

- Fallen Hero by G J Griffiths -
About Fallen Hero by G J Griffiths:ebook Free from Amazon 30 Nov 2014 until 2 Dec 2014
FALLEN HERO is about a man who seems to spend his life building bridges: Bridges between his unknown origins and his aspirations in life. Once he finds a tenuous link to his biological father Chris Squires cannot help but follow its path. Despite his misgivings he seeks out his roots. Fallen Hero is also about a man who is trying to reconcile the realities of war, and life, with his disappointment over his lost inner hopes for the dad he needed to find.
Two boys about to become teenagers: Christopher, born just after the end of World War Two, grows up in the UK; Fritz, orphaned by a bomb dropped on his German home in that same terrible war, befriended by a US marine. When Christopher discovers he was adopted he seeks to find his biological father. Fritz never gets the chance to grow much older and is found dead in the back of General George Patton’s Cadillac at the end of the war.
Chris Squires is a confused man, constantly seeking his hero father-figure. The British baby boomer is surprised to find he has a connection with Fritz. Chris discovers the link through Jimmy Lucas, a GI veteran, who he believes could be his father. But his surprise turns to horror when he learns that Jimmy was involved in the death of both Patton and the boy.
Did he kill General George Patton, one of the greatest Generals of the twentieth century? Did he kill an orphaned German boy at the end of World War Two? If the answer to any or all of these questions is Yes! how will Chris cope with the rest of his life?
A confrontation creates further tragedy for Chris, for Jimmy, and for Walt – the man who had saved Jimmy’s life! Chris panics and retreats back to Britain, trying to forget the incident he caused in San Francisco. Although appearing to lead a mundane and respectable life, for years he is tormented by guilt. He still hopes to find his hero, a guide to some kind of inner peace. And then Walt re-enters his life bringing with him a new bridge!Learn more about the author, buy the book, or follow them on social media:

AUTHOR BIO DETAILS: G J Griffiths is a UK baby-boomer who worked for quite a while in the Photographic industry. Then he became a Science teacher for about twenty years. He likes reading (lots!) walking in the countryside and birdwatching – Oh! and being a Grandad! Having retired he thought he would like to write a novel. So why did he write the first one?
Who Do They Think They Are?
Watching those programs on TV about different people looking into their ancestral past, and seemingly becoming very upset about certain individuals in their pedigree, he wondered about how much their emotions had been stirred by forebears, such as cousins, grandparents and even great grandparents. After all they had never met them or never even knew about their existence previous to their research. The tears, regrets and often anger that became evident on the screen betrayed how delicate feelings may often lie very near the surface.
At the same time he had been reading Winston Churchill’s volumes about the Second World War and also reading about the Battle of the Bulge, of Band of Brothers fame. It occurred to G J Griffiths: What if someone was looking into their ancestry and discovered that their forefather was involved in plot to assassinate a famous general from WW2? What if that general was George S Patton who was so vital in relieving the US troops trapped in the Battle of the Bulge? He had read that Patton often could be a thorn in the side of his senior officers at that time.And so he created three pivotal fictional characters around this idea of unpleasant discovery; of an assassination plot involving the father of Chris Squires. The father he never knew dashes his hopes to the ground. How would Chris feel? How would he react? Once the author started writing the story the characters took over and he had to continue the tale where they took it! It became his first novel, Fallen Hero.
When GJ started writing Fallen Hero he was already well into the collection of stories later to become his second book: So What! Stories or Whatever! But the general direction of the plot and many of the characters were not properly formed at that time. Then along came the idea for Fallen Hero and that took over for the next 18 months or so!
Originally, after he had retired from teaching GJ just wanted to write and write about many of the kids he had taught and tell his readers about some of their hilarious tales. But after a while he realised that so many of the stories would be tinged with sadness or tragedy or poignant moments, and that it was not going to be just another “book of funny stories”. If he was going to include some of the difficulties that the kids’ teachers also faced, many times a day sometimes, then he had to also write about why they wanted to come into education, and more importantly, why they were determined to stay in it!
So Robert Jeffrey was “born” and his story is gradually unfolded and woven between the collection of students’ stories. Robert’s determination to become what he feels is a “good teacher” became a main theme throughout the book. There was a danger then that the book would become a continuous whinge from yet another cynical, grumbling teacher. Enter Kyle Crabbe, the bully, and some of the tales begin to have a sinister theme to them! With that stage set it meant that G J could lead the reader up a path that would allow a twist to it! Be surprised – be very surprised!
Some of the books that Robert Jeffrey had read and that had inspired him to want to teach coincided, strangely enough, with some of the list that G J Griffiths had also valued. It was a list that included: R Delderfield’s “To Serve Them All My Days”, Thomas Hughes’ “Tom Brown’s Schooldays”, D H Lawrence’s “The Rainbow”, E R Braithwaite’s “To Sir with Love”, “Neill! Neill! Orange Peel!”, plus, of course, a couple from The Master – Charles Dickens, such as “Hard Times” and “Nicholas Nickleby”.
G J Griffiths still has many more So What! Stories to tell. Until he had almost finished his second book he hadn’t realised that there was going to be another book-full to come out of his head and onto the written page – maybe even more than one more book.
GJG hopes you enjoy reading his books as much as he did writing them. Let him know at: www.gjgriffithswriter.com Or tweet: @gjgfh_gFallen Hero by G J Griffiths is a post from Awesome Gang

About How to Talk with Your Son About Sex: 7 Sensitive Ways to Effectively Talk About Sex with Your Child by Duncan Walker Kennedy:
Do you find yourself struggling with how to talk to your son about sex? Kids today are exposed to sex much sooner than previous generations. Every moment of every day, they are bombarded by mature themes and images on television and the internet, in magazines, and on social media. Wouldn’t you rather talk to your child about sex before they receive inappropriate or incorrect information from an outside source or their buddies on the playground?
Let’s face it . . . many of our own parents weren’t very good at talking about sex . . . or perhaps they failed to ever approach the subject of sexuality with you, instead hoping that the topics of puberty and sex education would be delivered to you by a stranger in Health class. Needless to say, that approach was not very effective. Indeed, it got your parents off-the-hook from having to talk about sex with you, but that method is painfully outdated and predictably ineffective.
In “How to Talk with Your Son About Sex: 7 Sensitive Ways to Effectively Talk About Sex with Your Child,” you will uncover the most up-to-date methods in how best to communicate the true facts of life. This book replaces the old, tired “Birds and the Bees” talk with real-world advice on how to navigate the unavoidable conversation of talking to kids about sex.

About Motivate Children to Learn – Your Guide to Helping Your Child Succeed in School: Student Success Strategies, Motivation, How Children Succeed:
You’re about to discover proven steps and strategies on how to help your child succeed in school.
Research clearly shows that children are more likely to succeed in school when their families are supportive of their efforts. Parents’ interest and involvement in their children’s education can spark their enthusiasm and show them that learning can be rewarding and worth the effort. When parents read with their children, engage their teachers, participate in the school community, and help with homework, they can give their children a remarkable advantage—not only in school, but in life.
In order to be successful and motivated, there are several factors that need to be considered—children not only need to develop good study habits and organizational skills, they also need to develop character strengths that support motivation—like curiosity, conscientiousness, optimism, and determination. They need to learn self-control and how to manage stress in a healthy way. They need to learn to not fear failure, but to see it as an opportunity for growth. They also need positive self-esteem and the confidence that they can succeed in spite of difficulties. Educators call these characteristics “social-emotional learning skills,” or “non-cognitive skills.”
These “social-emotional learning skills” are the abilities that do not show up on standardized tests, but rather provide our children with the essential knowledge and tools to think critically and problem solve. These are the social traits that help our children become independently and intrinsically motivated. A recent study done by researchers at Oregon State University have found that these social and emotional skills are just as important as academic skills in laying the foundation for student success. Plus, one doesn’t have to be born with these abilities—they can be taught and learned.
As a parent you have a large responsibility in whether or not your children will be motivated to try their hardest in school. In the end it is up to them, but you have the power to help your children develop both strong abilities and lasting habits. This book will help you achieve that.
