How would your life change -- right now, today -- if "life" after "death" was proven to exist? In SOUL SURVIVOR, a dying physician by the name of Bernie White decides to volunteer for an experiment that will hopefully realize the evidence needed to prove life exists after death, and change the entire world. Throughout the book, we also follow the lives and relationships of three couples who at some point meet, and are ultimately deeply affected by, Bernie. First, there's Harry and Marion Kirby: a loud-mouthed, inconsiderate cab driver married to a quietly repentant woman who despairs constantly over the loss of their only child. They live in Chicago, which is also where Bernie resides. Then, in Los Angeles, we meet Dick and Theresa Pearson: they're young, black, beautiful, and each are very successful in their respective fields, the source of their serious marital problems. Bill Anderson and Anne Maybury live in San Francisco and work closely as executives of a large ad firm. Their lives become quiet involved after Bill's wife commits suicide. Adding an interesting depth to each of these troubled couples, the reader is given a periodic peek into the characters’ subconscious wanderings -- whether in their dreams or other comparably relaxed states. These "learning" experiences remain unknown to each character's waking mind, but allow the reader to have a certain insight into their personalities and present some interesting possibilities to ponder. All in all, SOUL SURVIVOR is a very timely book reflecting reality as it now exists, together with certain speculation as to our minds' untapped reservoir of what one might call. "Universal Knowledge".

"Psychic Princess: Admirable Avocation" by Jolinda Pizzirani is the first in a series about a young woman with psychic abilities who unwillingly gets involved in solving various crimes. In this first volume, Daniella Luisa Celestina Speranza, or "Danni" as her friends call her, was content living with her menagerie of cats, dogs and a turtle while working on her sculptures and nurturing her creative side. She didn’t mention to people that she was psychic, having learned the hard way that most would only think she was crazy. But one person she confided in was her good friend, Peggy, who convinces her to use her capabilities to help find a rich couple’s daughter that is missing without a clue. Danni reluctantly agrees to try her best, unsure if she will help -- or hinder -- the investigation. Who knows how her powers will affect her life and the lives of others?

Wow! All a person has to do is to toss a few crumbs to the old soul and then sit back and watch the pounds disappear, right? If it were that easy, no one would be overweight and no one would be buying this book. This book is about bringing the physical and the metaphysical together. To feed each one the nourishment it needs so neither is neglected. The physical is your body, which in this case may have been overfed and under exercised, which certainly qualifies as neglect.

The concept is a simple one. In fact all of the concepts or lessons in this book are simple. It’s only in the process of getting your soul in a healthy state that your body will also arrive at a healthy state.

It is because of them that you are here, reading this book. You have arrived at this point because you are ready to embrace a healthy lifestyle.

Her selection of photos emerging from this appreciation of human beings and their plight is informed as well by the author's great respect for nature, animals, the mountains and the elements. This book celebrates woman, and womankind in general, in its beautiful choice of faces, stories, poetry and images.
