Ruby has a problem. A very BIG problem She has won a so-called “prize” in her school: to read her essay in front of her entire smallish town. Except that Ruby has a bad case of stage fright. Help comes in the guise of her eccentric Great Aunt Alice, who may—or may not—have been a starlet in the golden age of film. Great Aunt Alice floats between two worlds: day-to-day reality, and a world of memory (or fantasy) in which she hobnobbed with the likes of Marlon Brando, Humphrey Bogart, John Barrymore and Vivien Leigh. Her colorful stories—of helping Barrymore prepare for a role, teaching Bogart to whistle, pulling Brando out of bed to audition for The Godfather—will entertain and delight readers of all ages. What’s more, each of Alice’s tales contains one of her nine “secrets to becoming a star.” These secrets, which unfold as Ruby prepares for her speech, ensure that she shines when the big day comes, her fear of public speaking now just a memory. The two come to appreciate each other—and readers come away with down-to-earth, effective public speaking tips.

********************** Evolve Your DNA! Industrial capitalists have created an environmental catastrophe through the use of toxic chemicals, heavy metals, radioactive pollutants, and even nano-robotic brain and nervous system control technologies. These contaminants have infiltrated our water sources, the air we breathe and our food, having a severe impact on the human race and our ability to live a normal, healthy life. Due to this constant barrage of toxins, detoxing these contaminants from the body is no longer possible using conventional methods. Something greater is needed – something that could only be provided from a higher dimension – and Scott Werner has been given the answer. Appearing to Scott one night while traveling, St. Germaine presented a simple solution to our current polluted global condition. “I come to you with an answer!” said St. Germaine. “Evolution is the answer and is inevitable for survival on this beautiful planet. I will tell you how this is to be done.” Presented in a simple, concise, easy to implement solution, The Next Step in Human Evolution provides hope to the human race with a way to evolve our DNA to be resistant to the toxic environment, inflammatory diseases, and degenerative brain and nerve conditions faced by the population today.
