A titanic psychological nail-biter, Welcome to Bravo dresses up the digital and analog worlds as protagonists vying for souls of the departed. This parochial-dystopian epic is driven by rich characters who propel a powerful narrative creating an inescapable addiction to the next page.

His technological genius is heralded by government sycophants and capitalistic cannibals looking to enrich themselves feeding off their fellow man. But these crypts of the digital age siphon souls to a sinister purpose, and reveal how the dialectic of Heaven and Hell has been disrupted by a Faustian bargain.

Living History's protagonists, Mia and Hugh, encounter a space vehicle that crashed in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest in the ninth century C.E. The problem is: they cannot remember this, when they find themselves in 9,000 B.C.E., where their long journey begins. Aimed at a short time before the crash to prevent the ship from crashing, their time travel is an experimental "shot in the dark," but the experiment fails. However, as they struggle to stay alive, they are not without resources: the beings, who come to be called "cousins," have implanted Nano technology in them to maintain their bodies and minds, but also an ability for to communicate without speech. In Mia, they provide a store of limited information, which includes a database of human languages but also information on the location of six research stations from which generations of cousins have monitored human evolution for millennia with periodic expeditions. These stations frame the plot as they learn how to use them while they travel the world interacting with people and cultures through deep time, and come to devise a plan to use their unique situation to prepare for the day when they return to current times to set in motion a series of events to transform radically the course of human history, sending humankind on a quest to recapture its lost kinship with the world that surrounds them. The only obstacle to their plan, besides the obvious hazards of such a long lifespan, is a branch species of humanity that has preyed upon humans for all time, and who have grown in numbers to threaten the very existence for all; blending into the human race in its long migration through time, they have become virtually invisible and wield great power. Mia and Hugh must counter the Kapalna's growing interest in them in a final sprint to today, and a great awakening.

Most books on vegetarianism focus on the external: why to choose vegetarianism, how to navigate the world as a vegetarian, recipes. With The Way Of Vegetarianism, Selfhood, And The Beyond, Steven Arthur Collier, PhD, goes a different, exciting direction. He has written a book for vegetarians and nonvegetarians alike that focuses instead on the internal, that answers the question we all must ask: "Who am I?"Drawing on Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Zen, Judaism, Christianity, and more spiritual belief systems, along with his more than thirty-five years as a psychotherapist (most of which as a licensed clinical psychologist), and nearly half a century of vegetarianism, Collier walks the reader through deep self-discovery, rediscovery, and self-realization. To help, he introduces his own illustrated experiential selfhood technique: The Experiential Adjunctive Selfhood Technique (E.A.S.T.). We all are victims of habit, but an expanded consciousness of the core of the self can bring about a freeing degree of choice.Collier's writing is a celebration of a new way of being, of an end to all animal suffering, including our own, of a guidance system for both the here and the hereafter-one of less anxiety, guilt, depression, emptiness and more fulfillment, self-esteem, purpose, connection, and behaviors representative of true self.

Fosston, northern Minnesota, my hometown, I was 20 years old when I received the registered letter from Uncle Sam and then I was off to Basic Training in Fort Hood, Texas. They soon molded me into a Foot Soldier for the Infantry, and I experienced a horrible tragedy while there. Next, I was on a troop ship and a miserable ride across the Pond to Bamberg, Germany, and my new home. A Company of the elite 15th infantry and all its history. I was one of the 26 young men in the 2nd Platoon and we were from all parts of American and of different nationalities. We were a Band of Brothers, just following orders on Uncle's mundane training and marking the days off our calendars. Maneuvers in the boondocks, wandering around for miles and then dig foxholes, and take cat naps in them. And then spend days cleaning our gear, getting ready for the Saturday morning inspection, Border Guard, and the Alerts.... was this practice or did the Cold war suddenly become another Pearl Harbor? And Holts, our mascot in the 2nd Platoon, with his bad attitude being forced to work for Uncle and his hyena laugh. Hohelfels twice a year for intense training, the Wild Pigs and then the Trek back to A Company. Six weeks of leave at different times, from Oslo to Rome. East and West Berlin and talking to the people that went through WW2. And it was déjà vu that I went TDY in the Post Band. Then it was another rough ride back across the Pond and finally it was 260 miles hitchhiking back home. The two-year adventure and the intermission in my life was one I will never forget, and it make me really appreciate that I was born in America.

It took me years to appreciate and a lifetime of memories to reflect, but it only took a glance at my grandmother's photo hanging on my Kelly green living room wall and within minutes this story started to evolve. This photo was discovered by my mother and I back in 1976, at a vacant relative's cottage while we were travelling together in Ireland, as told in my first novel "BICENTENNIAL ABROAD: A DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE"! In 1920 when mom was only three years old her mother died in the Spanish Flu Pandemic along with her newborn baby as well as the eldest child in the family. Her life and the family's was changed forever. Mom ultimately entered the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet to become a nun when she was twenty one, but she left four years later (with about three years of college credit). She met dad, had three "rambunctious" sons and we lived in public housing on the East Side, across from the "Iconic" Snowflake Bakery, along with other great local businesses. My mother went up to Syracuse University to complete her higher education in 1960, graduated the following year, when us three were about seven, ten and eleven years old. Then about one and a half years later we moved to the West Side where mom grew up in Tipperary Hill, and on to Saint Patrick's School!In this book there are many other stories of family roots, connections, childhood adventures and travels retold from the vivid memory of this one Son of a Nun:)

INSPIRING, ENCOURAGING, AND ENLIGHTENING!I AM Right Here is a fundamental reinforcer of the Nearness of the Almighty in every situation and detail of our lives. Additionally, it provides theological insight regarding our eternal estate and relationship with God. Sometimes we often think of His presence in highly intense moments of fellowship, such as singing worship songs, praying fervently, or even in Sunday church gatherings. However, God wants us to know that He is always present. We don't have to wait for those powerful, celebratory moments to feel His closeness. He is always there. Although we cannot tangibly see Him, He shows up through various situations to let us know He is watching and listening. Have you ever experienced a calmness or peace in your heart when thinking about God? It's difficult to explain because it goes beyond a feeling. It's a knowing or confidence that everything is going to be okay. Whenever we call on Him, we don't have to wonder if He's available; He doesn't leave or take breaks. Furthermore, when it comes to God, there's no guesswork involved because He remains the same and stands by His Word. He is present with you every moment because He is your heavenly Father!
