Author bio:
I am a published Author. I am an Air Force Brat, and grew up mostly overseas. I get my ideas from History and Folklore. If I can stroke something that is already in a large group of people’s mind to some extent, it creates automatic empathy for the subject. I have two books that are available in print from Amazon under the pen name, Ronin Schtihl Daire, There's a Thin Line - Book 1: Legal Reichs and Between Love and Hate - Book 2: Reich in the Middle, which is now available also as a Smashwords Ebook. I like to write books that challenge stereotypes. I hope that you enjoy reading Pharaoh Memnet: Book 1, which is being offered for FREE for a limited time! Caveat L'Emptor on the Peace Series. Its not for everyone, so please only read it if you understand or want to understand some the damages that come with abuse at an early age. It is currently on a READ for FREE promotion also for the month of May!
The seat of my mind by Jean-Nichol Dufour The seat of my mind by Jean-Nichol Dufour May 21, 2012 Free! 54469 words Read a sample
Author bio:
A fresh new author, straight from the intellectually acclaimed X generation, there to answer all your questions. From the beginning of life to the end of the universe, nothing escapes his vision, but only the best can follow his steps, so prepare your view of life for the test. You can abandon, you can reject, you can fight, you can forget but you already passed the finish line of innocence so it is too late to play impudence. Now is the time to separate lies from truth, evil from good, strength from weakness. My presence here as an author has nothing to do with personal gain, I’m here to reveal this reality and give you the option to live or die. Whatever it is today or tomorrow, your world will never be the same after me (humility don’t pay in this reality). As for my life, I sometimes think I’m a monk, but you will probably find me a better name after reading some of my writings. I’m a Quebecker living in Quebec City, French, so my English surely won’t be academically perfect. Not much running around the planet and no expertise, I think I was born revolted as I passed my whole life from 10 years old (the farthest I can remember) revolted and thinking about changing the world. Apart from a moment in the army and at school, as soon as I became adult, I started making actual projects for a different reality. Writing is the only way I found to express my mind, and today, at 37, and I’m proud of my work. I hope you’ll appreciate it, because I believe it is the only possibility for humanity to ascend at the next step of its evolution, more than that, I believe my conclusions are the only way for humanity to still have potential in 100 years, whatever scientists say, and again; sorry for my lack of humility. One facet of the suite of books I wrote is to make the demonstration that the present reality will fail for many logical and spiritual reasons. That’s why, in the first chapter of the first book, I’ll try to get rid of those readers I can guess will automatically go for personal attacks as soon as I’ll describe what I don’t like of the present reality. However, I don’t want my multiple warnings to deter those who want a fresh view of life, that’s why I’ll say to go for the title that interest you the most; if you want to read about how a person can be revolted against the world, then read “Revolted” if you want a different view of the mind then read “The seat of my mind” if you want a different view of god and the universe, read “Oh my god” if you want a description of another reality, read “A new reality” and so on. Finally, don’t judge from my cover art, I never used a drawing program before, and if you want to communicate with me, do it at the following address. Zipyzaty@hotmail.com

Author bio:
MARK BERENT Lt Col Mark E. Berent, USAF (Ret), was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He attended Cretin High School in St. Paul, Minnesota. Later he graduated from Arizona State University under the Air Force Institute of Technology program with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering. Lt Col Berent began his Air Force career as an enlisted man, then progressed through the aviation cadet program. He attended pilot training at Columbus Air Force Base, Mississippi and then Laredo Air Force Base, Texas flying the T-6, T-28 and T-33 aircraft and then moved on to F-86s at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. He served on active duty for 23 years until retirement in 1974. He began his operational flying career in the F-86 and F-100 flying at various posts throughout the United States and Europe. He later served three combat tours, completing 452 combat sorties, first in the F-100 at Bien Hoa Air Base, South Vietnam, the F-4 at Ubon Royal Thai Air Base, Thailand, and then in Cambodia for two years to fly things with propellers on them and through a fluke in communications timing, to personally run the air war for a few weeks. He has also served two tours at the United States Space and Missile System Organization (SAMSO) at Los Angeles, California working first in the Satellites Control Facility and later as a staff developmental engineer for the space shuttle. In his expansive career he has seen service as an Air Attaché to the United States Embassy, Phnom Penh, Cambodia and also as Chief of Test Control Branch at the Air Development and Test Center at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. He also served as an instructor at the Air Force's Squadron Officer School. During his flying career he has logged over 4300 hours of flying time, 1084 of those in combat missions in the F-100, F-4, C-47 and U-10 over North and South Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. He has flown 30 different aircraft. His decorations include the Silver Star, Legion of Merit, Distinguished Flying Cross with one oak leaf cluster, Bronze Star, Air Medal with twenty four oak leaf clusters, Vietnam Cross of Gallantry, Cambodian Divisional Medal, and numerous Vietnam Campaign ribbons. He completed jump school with the Special Forces. Later, he jumped with and was awarded Cambodian paratrooper wings. He also flew with and received Cambodian pilot wings. After leaving the Air Force he lived in Europe to establish and direct international operations for the sale of spares for combat aircraft. He has flown many foreign aircraft such as the Swedish Viggen and Royal Air Force Jaguar and Hawk. He also established Berent and Woods Inc, a firm that managed many aviation related activities. Over the years he had published numerous articles for such publications as Air Force Magazine and the Washington Times and for 18 years wrote a monthly pilot/reporter column for the Asian Defense Journal. Under the name Berent Sandberg he and Peter Sandberg collaborated on three novels. He now has five Vietnam air war flying novels in print, Rolling Thunder, Steel Tiger, Phantom Leader, Eagle Station, and Storm Flight. Berent states it is never too late for any endeavor: he published the first of his five books at age 58, ran his first Marathon at 59, bought a T-6 warbird and flew in airshows at 64, and rode in his first cattle roundup in Montana at 74. …………… "Powerful!" --- Publishers Weekly "The pride of the Air Force. The challenge of Vietnam." "A taut, exciting tale of good men in a bad war. Berent is the real thing." --- Tom Clancy "Rolling Thunder is terrific - a novel of exceptional authenticity that hits like a thunderclap. A decorated Vietnam pilot, Mark Berent knows planes and men and battle, and he whirls them around in a story of uncommon strength. I can't wait for his next book." --- W.E.B. Griffin, best-selling author of Brotherhood of War and The Corps "Mark Berent writes with great authority and utter realism, immersing the reader in his characters' every sensation and emotion." --- Dale Brown, best-selling author of Flight of the Old Dog and Silver Tower "The fighter pilot's war - you love it and hate it at the same time, and Mark Berent writes it that way." --- Stephen Coonts, best-selling author of Flight of the Intruder "Berent tells it like it was!" --- Chuck Yeager "The best Vietnam air novel I have read. Berent captures the essence of flying men at war, their agony, emotions, courage, and triumph." --- Brigadier General Robin Olds

Author bio:
About the Author I was born in 1948 in Newark, New Jersey. My family moved to the suburbs of New York City before my second birthday. We moved to Levittown and I vaguely remember the excitement of having a TV already built into the living room of our tiny house. My brother, Donald, and I spent many hours as kids watching that set. I remember that my father disapproved of television, an attitude which I thought at the time was hopelessly provincial and old fashioned. My father was an attorney who worked for Sperry Rand. He died of a heart attack at home. I was only eight years old. My idea to become a physician, I think, stems from the grief I felt with his death. Although I can hardly remember him, his picture is always by my desk. It gives me some kind of comfort. My mother, then a widower, quickly finished college and became a teacher, a field open to women at the time. My brother and I became latchkey children, given a lot of leeway and responsibility. We freely roamed the streets of Great Neck, NY, returning home for meals and chores. Mom expected dinner on the table when she returned from work, so I learned to cook meals for the family at a young age. Great Neck, at that time in the early 1960’s, was an upper middle class, largely Jewish, enclave full of bright and politically active teen agers. I was a mediocre student. My mother considered me an underachiever and had the school test my IQ. After I was tested the school agreed. I understood this was a big thing for my mother, but it did not change my academic ways. Later on, when I got an 800 on my math SAT’s, I got the attention of the whole high school for a day but I continued to be a lackadaisical student. I was very active in the Civil Rights movement in high school. Marijuana and the whole counterculture were just finding their way into suburbs. My friends and I made many pilgrimages to Greenwich Village to observe and emulate the ‘beatnik’ generation. After graduating from high school, I went to college at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. I had burnt out on political activism and decided to actually focus on my schoolwork to see if I could qualify to get into medical school. My grades, to my astonishment, actually got quite good and soon enough I was applying to medical school. My dream was to go to medical school at UCSF and after a long wait, my dream came true. I was thrilled to be in medical school and in San Francisco, the most beautiful and interesting city that I have found in the world. I always wanted to be a family practitioner, on the front lines of helping people, getting to know families for the long run. In a strange way, my career has prepared me for this very book. My experiences getting to know people over time in the context of their families and communities has given me the perspective to understand the importance and the workings of social networks. The links of trust, that tie all social networks together and take us to our collective futures and that are so important for all of us, are the daily work of the family practitioner. The focus on prevention of health problems is another important part of our work as family practitioners. In the end The Pied Pipers of Autism’s most important message is a message of prevention and is aimed at all the future children who are at risk for this disheartening disorder. As family practitioners, we have to synthesize the findings from the many medical specialties to form a coherent rational practice for the benefit of our patients. This involves integrating studies drawn from many different fields, weighing the important gems from the overhyped pronouncements. This was another skill which proved essential in the formation of this book. So, in a very real way, the choice of Family Practice prepared me for The Pied Pipers of Autism. The other aspect of my life that prepared me to be the author of this book was my family life. I married shortly after my training was complete and had a family with my first wife, Caroline. Daniel, Emily, and Alex were born five years apart starting in 1975. They have all become fine people and I am very proud to be their father. And then in 2009, I became a father once again with Roseli, my current wife. So I have had a special opportunity to observe and be a part of three generations. The first was my own childhood, in the 50’s, the second, my first family, in the 70’s and 80’s, and now again with Giovanna. In between, I have been involved with lives of my patients and their families. As a result I have an unusually broad personal experience on the nature and norms of childrearing during this period of time and how they have changed. This is of the same time period that ASD has emerged from being a very rare to a very common disorder. My experience comes not from reading a book or looking at a study, but from being there, not just being an observer but a participant in the beautiful process of development in infants and children. So in short, while I have not spent my life in academia studying autism, I feel my life has prepared me to be the author of this important book. - Leonard Oestreicher, MD

Author bio:
About the Author Dr. Edward ("Ted") Pohlman Clergyman; Psychologist; Musician; Professor; Father; Husband; Counselor; Counselor Educator….these are some of the roles "Dr. Ted"brings as background for writing this book. He was a Professor of Psychology at a California university, the University of the Pacific, for 30 years. For the last two decades of that time, he taught Human Sexuality: large courses for Freshmen and Sophomores, and small seminar courses for counselors preparing to qualify for California’s Marriage, Family and Child Counseling credential. Religious beliefs are often very important to sexuality. Ted's parents were missionaries in India, where he was born and spent the first dozen years of his life. His first language was not English, but Urdhu, closely related to Hindi, Punjabi and Pakistani. Ted became a clergyman in Ohio after a seminary education that included studies in Bible Greek and Bible Hebrew. "Reverend Ted" conducts many Sunday services each year. "Dr. Ted" has been a staff psychologist in a V. A. psychiatric hospital, a pastoral counselor, and a counselor educator in "his" university. Over the years he has done a great deal of counseling, including counseling on sex-related matters, with students, faculty families, and others. Ted married a young lady from Intercourse, Pennsylvania, and they have two grown children, Sharon and Douglas. The American Psychological Association (APA) gave Ted an honor held by fewer than 10 per cent of APA members at the time. This was given "In recognition of outstanding and unusual services to the Science and Profession of Psychology." Since retiring, for 22 years Ted has "worked" about 5 months a year on cruise ships. At various times his official job has been lecturer; ballroom dance class teacher; dance host for unaccompanied ladies; paid pianist; paid marimba player; clergyman. No matter what the official job on that particular cruise, he always volunteers to conduct Sunday worship services if needed, and to play all the piano the Cruise Director (the boss) wants, in the central atriums or anywhere else aboard. Ted has worked on four "world cruises" of 3 or 4 months each; on the last one his official job was the ship chaplain, and he also played piano and trombone, lectured, taught ballroom dancing, and gave individual psychological counseling to guests who wished it. In 2011, the 400th anniversary year for the "King James" Bible, his cruise "work" took him to Australia, New Zealand, Russia, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Estonia, France, the UK, New Caledonia and Vanuatu (the former New Hebrides). Hey, adding a later post script: late 2011 found him visiting Canada; Venice; Trieste; Gibraltar; Madeira, Bermuda and the Bahamas. Ted has a Masters degree in Theology. And he has a Masters and Ph. D. in Psychology from Ohio State University in Columbus. He has published twenty other books (two with Westminster Press, the official publisher for the Presbyterian Church in the U. S.). For two years he was a consultant in residence on population matters to the Government of India; and he played that same role for two summers in Geneva for the World Health Organization, WHO. He has established his own publishing company, Planet Ethics Press. E-mail him at Teddyman999@aol.com

I am a tiger who escaped from the circus - (escaped from consensual reality) - but got lonely, and returned to the circus with the powers that come from being free to leave. These powers are considered "schizophrenia" in western science, or "shamanism" in my native Aztec culture. There is a fine line dividing sz and shamanism, though, as I see it: the dreamer must control the dream, not the dream the dreamer. And I don't take meds, but I did take seroquel for 4 months, at 600mg a day, way too much, and quit cold turkey, ahd a bad 8-day experience, and I don't mess with that stuff anymore. I don't believe in gravity - I live in a non-ordinary unvierse model. And I am the leader of all matter and energy in the war against time. Abducted by aliens because I asked them to tell me a story, monsters come drawing paradise screens on the air; they were out fishing anyway and I just swam up to the hook. lightning justified, release unknown....

Author bio:
Jude Bijou is a licensed marriage and family therapist (MFT), an educator in Santa Barbara, CA, and the author of multi-awarding winning, Attitude Reconstruction: A Blueprint for Building a Better Life (Riviera Press, November 2011). As the daughter of a renowned pioneer in the field of behavioral child psychology and applied behavior analysis, Jude’s upbringing sounds like it would be pretty cool. There was just one problem: she was miserable. Earning a BA in psychology from Reed College and a master’s in psychology from Carleton University, she became a marriage and family therapist. Success was attained, yet something was still missing. Looking eastward, she immersed herself in the world of meditation and Vedic philosophy. The result: an integrated, truly holistic approach to viewing ourselves and our relationships with others. Her multi award-winning system, Attitude Reconstruction was birthed into the world. In 1982, Jude launched a private psychotherapy practice and started working with individuals, couples, and groups. She also began teaching communication courses through Santa Barbara City College Adult Education. Word spread about the success of Attitude Reconstruction, and it wasn’t long before Jude became a sought-after workshop and seminar leader, teaching her approach to organizations and groups. The culmination of Jude’s groundbreaking work can now be found in Attitude Reconstruction: A Blueprint for Building a Better Life. These simple principles have impacted countless clients, seminar participants, and students. And Jude promises this: if we can learn to harness the tools we’re intrinsically born with, creating a life full of joy, love, and peace is truly possible, right here, right now.

On the Way: Growth and Transcendence of Personal Consciousness by John K. Landre On the Way: Growth and Transcendence of Personal Consciousness by John K. Landre April 10, 2012 $4.99 72130 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
John Landré is a retired businessman. During the first half of his career he designed optical devices. The past twenty five years he spent researching growth in consciousness. Mr. Landré holds a master’s degree in physics. He started a medical instrument company in 1974. After several years at the helm of this company, he discovered that for him the most meaningful part of running a business is to help facilitate the growth of his coworkers. So he looked into what personal growth is and how it differs from person to person. From Brian P. Hall he learned how to objectively measure what it is that different people consider meaningful and how this interacts with growth in consciousness. He then applied Hall’s methods in the work place to create a work environment conducive to personal growth. After selling his company in 1986 Mr. Landré inquired further how growth in consciousness takes place, both in theory and in practice. Specifically for transcendental growth in consciousness he learned much from spiritual masters such as Merrell-Wolff, Wilber, Cohen, Shankara, Sri Ramana, Sri Nisargadatta, Sri Aurobindo, Balsekar, and Liquorman. A discipline of regular meditation has resulted in numerous transcendental experiences that confirm the teachings of these masters. The author lives with his wife Drizz in Woodside, California.
