13. The Sugar Addiction Cure – How to Overcome Sugar Addiction and Get Healthy Habits for Life - Hi, my name is Kenny Johnson :-) I wanted to take a minute and introduce myself, and the question you are probably asking: "Who is this Kenny Johnson?" Well guys, i'm actually a pretty normal guy. Living, loving and trying to enjoy life as best as i can to any given time, but that has not always been the case. To tell you a little "secret" my friends, there was a time some years ago when i actually felt pretty sad about my life and the current situation i was experiencing, i knew something had to change. I`m not going to bore you with all the small details because you really don`t need them. What might interest you though is that from the time i said "NO" i`v had it! to myself and truly decided to start a journey to try and better myself/figure out how things could be better - my life changed. The past two years of personal development has truly taken me from a place i did not like much to a place of more enjoyment and love for life in all areas of my life: emotionally, physically, financially, spiritually etc. Amongst other things I now really enjoy writing and publishing books for the public with the purpose of giving them neat tricks, ideas and inspiration to go out and move their life in a cool direction to get their shine back if you will. I truly hope you like my book and see it as an opportunity for at least just putting more tricks in your tool belt :-) One of the best tips i ever got from a mentor is this: The input you choose to feed your mind on a regular basis determents what your thoughts are and therefor who you become. So don`t be lazy in learning, turn off the news for a bit and feed your mind something of much higher value to YOU. Your own development - Your INPUT = OUTPUT... I just wanted to share that with you because i have found that to be so, so true and it is a big part in me experiencing a better life today :-) Enjoy everyone

I have many other stories that will soon be out as well, including the second book for Tristan Wolf. I live in Oklahoma, with my husband and three children. I studied Drama and currently work at a preschool where I likes to motive children through arts and music. I also enjoy plastic arts and drawing. I started doing paper mache when I was around 18 years old. It's a medium that I love to use to create unique pieces for my home. I am fond of anything that has to do with arts and since young I've tried several ways of self-expression, but definitely writing is the most innate to me. When I was a child I always wanted to be a painter (artist) and paint blue skies, flowers and animals. I also wanted to be a movie director and tell compelling stories that would change the world. I believe in kindness and compassion. If you are genuinely generous, then generosity will find you back. I believe that the world is one, and no matter where you are from, children have the same dreams all around. I hope my books are successful and show my children that Mama's hard work and determination paid back. I hope my books put a smile in people's hearts and, who knows, smile by smile, make this Earth a better place to live. I also blog at http://marianallanosauthor.blogspot.com
    
32. Doubt by Anne-Rae Vasquez, book 1 of the Among Us Trilogy - Anne-Rae Vasquez is releasing Doubt, Book 1 of the Among Us Trilogy on November 13, 2013. Among Us is a book series about a group of online gamers who band together to investigate who or what is behind the catastrophic events happening around the world. Her novel Almost a Turkish Soap Opera was adapted into a screenplay and later produced into an award winning feature film and web series and was her directorial debut. Her other works include: Gathering Dust - a collection of poems, Salha's Secrets to Middle Eastern Cooking Cookbook published by AR Publishing Inc. and Teach Yourself Great Web Design in a Week, published by Sams.net (a division of Macmillan Publishing). A note from the author...What's behind the story of your book "Doubt"? I wrote the first chapter after I woke up from a dream with a vivid image of the beginning of the end of the world. It was so clear in my mind that it frightened me. The only thing that gave me hope was that in the same dream, there was a group of young people who risked their lives banding together to try and save the world. Perhaps my dream was inspired by what I've seen in the news where young people around the world are fighting back against their governments' oppressive policies. This wave of 'Truth Seekers' is evident with the recent "Arab Spring" and other youth led revolutionary protests and peaceful activism against governments who resort to terror and bloodshed to suppress their voices. The book is also a tribute to two real truth seekers, Aaron Swartz and Harry Fear. When I was shaping the main character Harry Doubt, I was inspired by Aaron Swartz, an internet prodigy who contributed to the open source movement. I also was inspired by Harry Fear's courageous coverage of the conflict in the Middle East. I have taken this same theme of Truth Seeking and applied it to the fictional story 'Doubt'.
