Horncastle's Suitcase | by Graeme Horncastle April 24, 2012 | $4.99 | 106510 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: From a casual first glance one could assume this book is just a boring chronicle of a family. First impressions can be wrong and certainly are in this case. The story consists of a rollercoaster ride, right from birth in Blenheim, to childhood on a 30-cow dairy farm near Karamea on the West Coast of New Zealand where he was raised by a "devoted mother and a frustrated eccentric father". Life was great on the Coast for youngsters with weird and wacky incidents but with a father who increasingly took to the bottle, the economics of the farm were rocky and life was full of challenges. Then followed a teenage marriage with a child due. Graeme Horncastle gritted his teeth and was determined to make a go of it. He was succeeding but then tragedy intervened with the loss of a daughter to cancer, the aftermath of grief and despair, alcoholism, depression, marital crisis and attempted suicide. Then slowly Graeme, with support, dragged himself up and got his life back together again. Today the Horncastle family own and operate the 86 room Pavilions Hotel in Christchurch New Zealand. Born in Blenheim in September 1951, Graeme returned to Marlborough and in particular Picton where he and his wife Maureen took over Oxley's Tavern. Then Australia and then to Christchurch where the author tells of the Christchurch earthquakes of 2010 and 2011. The book is well produced, well illustrated, and makes for absorbing reading. Graeme is honest, at times almost brutally, but the stories and incidents range from laughter to tears. There's never been a dull moment in Graeme Horncastle's life with its highs and lows. That is relayed to the reader for an entertaining read. |

If that sounds strange, it is just a development of an interest of mine in dying, death, grief and the afterlife that started in the aftermath of my Mom's passing in 2005. |

He soon had people knocking on his door, telling him about the dreadful lives they were living and he helped them reach a better existence. Still battling 'dark energy' that has harried and hampered his efforts to complete his books and get them to those who will benefit from the message they hold he says he has had to 'live in a bubble of extreme patience whilst fighting a war of attrition against everything that tries every day to thwart my progress to help others'.

| Author bio: "Don't fence me in!" could be Gayle's motto. Her engineering degree from Clemson University led to a world traveling career in telecommunications. Yet, even as a scientist there weren't enough answers for the meaning of life. An aborted takeoff made her take a different course - one to understand not only herself, but the meaning of life and her purpose in it. Eventually the muse arrived to write of her journeys. Gayle earned a MA in religion from the University of Georgia where she immersed herself in various traditions and became adept at meditation. She studied in depth with two master teachers - one a Buddhist monk and one a Sufi. After serving as meditation faculty for the Omega Institute, her first book Transformative Meditation was published by Llewellyn International. In further pursuit of the world's mysteries, travels to Mexico, Peru, Egypt, France, Italy, Great Britain, Singapore, Burma, and Canada led to exotic backdrops for her esoteric writing and wisdom. Meanwhile she provides a local online forum for the arts and politics for her community. |

How To Stop Drinking On Your Own | by Edward Wilson Feb. 09, 2012 | $4.95 | 11779 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: How did we become the alcoholism treatment experts? Picture us twenty years ago, looking for ways out of our own or our family’s alcohol related problems and having no where to turn but the same failed programs that still exist today. We knew those revolving door programs didn’t suit us or our circumstances. We’re sure you can appreciate how happy we were, years after working our own way out of alcohol problems, to discover our mutual interests and perspectives, combine our differing types of expertise, and, finally, to be able to offer you access to the variety of custom tailored approaches we never had. You’ll also like knowing that we haven’t stopped looking for new and better ways to help while we’re also practicing what we preach. While our work absorbs us we haven’t forgotten to balance our lives. Early mornings frequently find Ed at the gym lifting weights and training others. An award winning writer he’s also at work on his first novel. Mary Ellen sails, kayaks, and travels extensively, most recently to Alaska and the Antarctic. Together we’re always looking for new ideas, better methods, and increased opportunities for our readers, our clients, and ourselves. We’ve spent over twenty years helping individuals, couples, families, and businesses deal effectively with alcohol problems. You can take advantage of everything we’ve learned over the years to treat your problems quickly, economically, and permanently. You undoubtedly understand the value of avoiding labels, and stigma, but also in dealing with real problems, not just redirecting your focus to another form of alcohol fixation. Why settle into being a life-long victim when you can be a winner instead? The approaches we use are all based on one simple concept – we treat you the way we wanted and deserved to be treated when the alcohol abuse problems – personal and family – were our own. Why would you use our methods for overcoming alcohol abuse? You know you don’t want to be forced into a cult, labeled, stigmatized, or reduced into being less than you are. You may have gotten derailed by events, mistakes, or circumstance, but it doesn’t mean you’re powerless or need to keep alcohol as the central focus of your life. When you focus on improving your life, and squeezing alcohol out, you’ll have a better life and the temptation to relapse will evaporate. Readers and clients report both reduced alcohol problems and improved health and personal relationships. Can you imagine how good it will feel to erase alcohol’s effects? To regain your health and vitality? To renew your marriage? To have a sex life again? All these things are not only possible, but an alternative to drinking that won’t leave you wanting to return to the bottle for companionship and escape. |

Body, Mind & Spirit: The Awakening (Day 13: Stress, Depression, Low Self-Esteem and Addiction: The Four Horsemen of Your Apocalypse) | by James Hackley Dec. 08, 2011 | $2.99 | 17318 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: James Hackley just may be the most blessed individual you’ll ever meet. Despite a highly successful sales & marketing career that has spanned the last two decades, his true “calling†is touching the lives of others and inspiring them to want to change for the better. As a result of a major epiphany, James was able to lose an amazing 50 lbs of fat in just 4 months and has sculpted his 46-yr-old body into the best shape ever. He has learned to significantly reduce stress, quiet the mind and get in touch with his spirit like never before. As a result, he’s been able to free himself from a lifetime sentence of high blood pressure and high cholesterol prescription medications. More importantly, he’s been able to inspire those around him to do the same. In his latest release, Body, Mind & Spirit: The Awakening, James explores the root causes of why we overeat, refuse to exercise, live chaotic lives and fail to accomplish the goals that God has intended for our life since the dawn of time. This is not just another diet or “weight loss†(loss of fat and muscle) book. Diets simply don’t work, and James emphasizes how we need to be more concerned about “fat loss.†In fact, this guaranteed bestseller would be better categorized as a “Negativity Loss†guide: loss of negative fat, negative habits, negative foods, negative people, negative thoughts and negative actions. This guide arms you with knowledge and encouragement to put a plan into action to finally master the things that have long mastered you. Mr. Hackley received a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from Longwood College, a Master of Science degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Virginia, he’s chaplain of a local chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity and an active member of Holy & Whole Life Changing Ministries International in Loudoun County, Virginia.

My characters depending on genre and what they are doing will try to make you laugh, cry, hold your breath, bring you to the front of your seat, and so on. They want to entertain you.

Raised in Clarkson, Mississauga, Ontario and when I was 15 years old my parents bought a house in Flesherton, Ontario were the population was only 300. I ended up running away as I couldn’t handle the small community they choose to live in; upon running away, I lived on the streets in many cities for almost seven years; drinking and drugging to adjust to the way of living and I felt lost in my own skin. One day I had enough and called the Withdrawal Management Center (detox) in Brampton, Ontario to see if I could get help; while in detox I was accepted to a treatment center and spent three and a half months there learning how to live in the community. I really enjoyed the learning process that I returned back to school to get my Grade 12 diploma. I now have a diploma in Drug and Alcohol counselling, one as a Social Service worker, and I am currently attending Lakehead University in working towards my Bachelor of Social Work degree.

Today my goal is to give back to the community and help someone that can’t help themselves. This is why I wrote this book, hoping to reach out to those that need it. I feel sharing my struggles and hopes can help another person from going down the wrong road as I have. Included are 12 testimonials from people who know me and tell it as it was; from a sergeant of the Halton Regional Police station, a jail guard, my former probation officer, counsellors, both parents, son, and a few ex-girlfriends etc...

Today, I live with a general sense of peace and have a deep appreciation for truth, beauty, and goodness. Even though I feel that I have a relatively good understanding of “lifeâ€, I must admit it’s not always easy. Everybody has their share of curveballs thrown at them and I’m no different. However, my continual focus on the 7 principles of The Ultimate Level softens the blows when the problems of everyday life occur. I appreciate my life, the people who are in it, and I’m also very grateful for my past experiences which have made me who I am today. My goal is to share my story and ideas with others that they may find the same sense of peace that I have found. |
