Book Title: The Battles We All Face: Hope In Times of Uncertainty
Genre: Self-help/ Spiritual Guidance
​
Book Synopsis: Do you struggle with life? Battling Anxiety? Depression? Managing your time? Motivation? On a daily basis want to know some very simple self-help methods that can greatly increase your joy of living? You are looking at the book that could change your life. Many make that claim and fall short. Not this book, however. Over the last decade, I have personally gone through most of what life can throw at me. From temporary homelessness, anxiety, BPD, betrayal, relationship breakups, medical misdiagnosis, depressions and so much more.

•The first thing I want you to know is this. YOU ARE NOT ALONE… Billions have literally been in the same place you are, and billions will be long after your time on earth is over. Where many self-help teachers fail is they teach the same old teaching over and over again. Many without having ever experienced life for themselves. No teaching and understanding are not key in self-change… CORRECT teaching and CORRECT understanding are key and that is where you come in.

•You need to know right now more than anything that you have value, and you are immensely important.
•I wrote this book for everyone. Everyone is going through a battle right now that most people do not even know about. Many of the simple and easy-to-follow teaching in this book are lessons I have personally learned and taught over the last decade of craziness.

•Many books go into way too much detail and become extremely hard to digest. Mine is deliberately different. One page per chapter. It gets to the point, teaches the wisdom, and the rest is up to your interpretation and mind. You can do this.

•Artwork to inspire. I have also created artwork, especially for this book. That you (the reader) will have a positive association every time you think of one of the images you will remember the teachings. ARE YOU READY TO STOP FEARING AND START LIVING? Over 40 sessions you will be one of the many who will begin to see life in a new way. You will begin to feel an awakening with you that will inject life into your mind, body, and soul.

And finally and most importantly, even if you don’t learn something new (which I will be amazed at) you will know the unshakeable truth… YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Very quickly you will be amazed at how much your mind opens and how clearly you see the world. You will love this easy to read, very unique perspective that I share with my audience. Get it now, don’t delay unlocking the life that you have always wanted to today.

Book Synopsis: A discovery of priceless artwork leads Jamie on a collision course with danger.

Jamie Richmond used to live a nice, quiet life. But last fall she witnessed the shooting of a police officer and figured out who did it. Then this winter saw her best friend targeted by a stalker and kidnapped. Yep, Jamie solved that one and came to the rescue. Now it’s summertime and the living is supposed to be easy. All she wants to do is write her novels and spend free time with Malone, the guy who has been by her side since all this craziness began. But that’s not likely to happen.

Jamie’s father was a very successful sculptor who tragically died more than twenty years ago when she was just a child. What she remembers about him is little more than bits and pieces. A storeroom filled with crates of his work is discovered in an old converted factory. This potential fortune in artwork has been waiting all these years. Jamie recruits Malone and a few close friends to help her unpack the crates and bring her father’s gifts out to the light of day. News of this discovery leads to a robbery. Now Jamie is determined to figure out who is behind the crime.
