Author: Missie Huberwww.wheatmark.com Reviewed By: Georgia Richardson Author Missie Huber makes it clear from the onset of Tormented Souls that the purpose of writing her story wasn’t to gain sympathy for the loss of her beloved brother, Jack, whose life was cut short due to a drug overdose; or for the death of her father to cirrhosis of the liver just a few years after, nor was it about the bravado. After losing Jack, her brother Mark succumbed to the same addiction and the heartaches continued. Two brothers in the same family? How could this be? The author vowed this would never happen... Continue Reading

Author: Edited by Betty Dobsonwww.inkspotter.com Reviewed By: Georgia Richardson What I like most about holiday anthologies is the views of the different seasons seen through many pairs of eyes, religion, beliefs, hopes, dreams, and even for some, the loss; thus, Holiday Writes. This short read is unlike many others in that it offers seasonal stories and poems from every religious walk of life yet it includes some historical lessons and facts. There were stories about where the Christmas tree tradition originated, why turkey was first served on Thanksgiving, and a brief explanation of Hanuka.... Continue Reading

Author: J. Kubelun, Ph.D./O. Slaughter, Ph.D.lifeasamotherinlaw.com Reviewed By: Melinda Cianos She has been the brunt of many a tasteless (and often, cruel) joke; sometimes deemed a meddler and a know-it-all; sometimes made out to be needy and intrusive: she is the mother-in-law. Licensed Educational Psychologist, Olivia Slaughter, and Marriage, Family Therapist, Jean Kubelun have written Life as a Mother-in Law to increase understanding of in-law families and offer a view of these occasionally troubled relationships from the inside-out. Their hope is that as they foster awareness they also... Continue Reading

Author: p.m. terrellwww.pmterrell.com Reviewed By: Georgia Richardson Christopher Sandige, a political strategist, had one thing on his mind; a vacation in Florida. Fate had other plans. Driving toward his destination, Chris’s car skids off the icy road in Lumberton, North Carolina at Exit 22. Knowing that’s that until Monday, Chris settles into a nearby motel. In the restaurant, he meets a beautiful but mysterious woman named Brenda. The pair are drawn together by…physical attraction? No, although it’s there. But first they immediately become entangled and targeted... Continue Reading

Author: Amy Sherman , LMHC www.bummedoutboomer.com Reviewed By: Melinda Cianos Author and licensed mental health counselor Amy Sherman offers her tips on aging gently with her e-book “Distress Free Aging.” Labeled as the “Boomer’s Guide to Creating a Fulfilled and Purposeful Life,” Distress-Free Aging lends another approach to tackling Midlife’s issues. The acceptance of the changes we face, both in mind and body, does not have to squelch our desire, energy or passion. On the contrary; that acceptance, along with a few simple behavior modifications, positive... Continue Reading

Author: Janice Taylorwww.ourladyofweightloss.com Reviewed By: Melinda Cianos I am immensely comforted by the words, “all is forgiven, move on.” It matters little what exactly your predicament is or what obstacle you face, those words provide the permission to be kind to yourself; to release yourself into the freedom to be you. Dealing with weight issues requires kindness, patience and forgiveness—Janice Taylor knows this. As a weight-loss coach and certified hypnotist (and delightful humorist!) she entitles her creation, “All is Forgiven, Move On,” and sets... Continue Reading

Author: Janet Nusbaumwww.KidsandChores.net Reviewed By: Dotsie Bregel Janet Nausbaum writes a most creative, informative and helpful book for parents and grandparents interested in raising independent and responsible children. For about $34.00, you receive the workbook for adults and a little binder for children which is full of chores that are specifically stated and can be categorized by days. Adults will appreciate how the presentation resembles a workbook, and children will enjoy having their own binder allowing them the opportunity to own their chores by creating a personal journal and... Continue Reading

Author: Susan Reinhardtwww.susanreinhardt.com Reviewed By: Georgia Richardson Go ahead. Open it up. Then you see why I say welcome to funny land. Susan Reinhardt has done it again with a collection of food stories where fast-food junkies are vindicated, and where she clearly supports the non-cooks who dream of vending machines in the kitchen. Finally, someone “gets” us. The chapter titles, such as “If the Baby Comes Early, Blame it on the Ham,” or my favorite chapter, “There’s No Such Thing as a Free Bird,” (downright hilarious!) let you know from the... Continue Reading

Author: Sherrie Mathiesonwww.sherriemathieson.com Reviewed By: Dotsie Bregel Midlife often finds us trying to figure out what look is too young for and what’s too old? We certainly don’t want to don polyester pants with elastic waistbands from years gone by, but what should we wear? Women don’t want our stomachs hanging out while wearing low waisted, hip hugger pants like our daughters, and men certainly don’t want to wear the pants so far down their behinds, they look like they’re falling off. If you’re trying to figure out what’s appropriate casual... Continue Reading
