Mystery

Date Published: 07-11-2023

Publisher: Tirgearr Publishing

Red Farlow travels to Camp Ridgemont for Boys for a reunion with his summer camp friends. On arrival, he discovers two camp counselors have been found in the woods, hacked to death. Red’s investigation soon widens with more mysterious deaths, one of them a close friend.

Far-right extremist Troy Unsworthy knows the hills and hollows after a lifetime of growing up in these mountains. Red soon learns all the victims are connected to Unsworthy in the years leading up to a deadly auto accident which put him in prison.

When he learns Unsworthy was released just before the counselors’ deaths, Red goes into the mountains. His trek requires sure-footedness over rocky terrain and old-growth forest as he explores caves with endless tunnels, shafts, and deep-water pools searching for his suspect.

But, did Unsworthy really murder these people, or should Red turn his attention to other suspects?

Red treads a treacherous path on his quest to find the killer and bring him to justice.

An Effective Pathway for Chronic Pain Relief Kindle Edition

Nonfiction / Sports Medicine

Date Published: May 14, 2023

Publisher: ‎102nd Place, LLC

YOU DON’T HAVE TO LIVE WITH CHRONIC PAIN!

If you’ve tried traditional pain relief treatments and haven’t found the relief you desire, this book is for you.

People with chronic pain are often told they must live with it. For many of you, this is simply not true! Most traditional care approaches are based on acute pain (recent injury) principles. These approaches don’t always apply to chronic or persistent pain. Chronic pain can be more complicated than acute pain and often requires taking a different approach.

Dr. Zimmerman has spent over fifteen years researching the causes of chronic pain and has discovered a new, noninvasive path toward relief. It is a path based on treating the causes of your pain, not just the symptoms.

In this book, you’ll discover:

• The five common causes of chronic pain

• Why prior treatments may not have been effective

• New, effective, and sustainable approaches to chronic pain relief

About the Author

Dr. Zimmerman has been treating pain for over thirty years. Throughout this time, he realized chronic pain was becoming a huge epidemic in America. In 2006, he decided to focus on new, noninvasive treatment technologies for chronic pain sufferers and has a reputation for helping the most difficult cases.

Dr. Zimmerman is certified in physical medicine modalities and therapeutic procedures, is a chiropractic physician, and has extensive experience and expertise in the multiple pain-relieving technologies he utilizes today.

by Dr. Christopher L. Smith

Memoir

Date Published: January 2023

“I wish I could just die,” I said to myself as my teeth chattered and my body shook with cold. Knowing I would probably still wake in the morning with my hair frozen to the door, I curled up in a ball, trying to find some warmth in the car that was my bedroom. Sadness consumed me like an infection; it had become the norm for me to wake up every day feeling broken.

Most nights like this, all I could hope for was to die in my sleep to be rid of the pain. Despite the terrible nights, I still woke up, dressed, and went to my only refuge, my high school.

This was my life, often alone, cold, sad, and hungry. My youth was different than most, but this was my reality.

However, despite the hardship that was my life and being homeless, something led me on, something saw me through. I survived, I found hope, and eventually, a life even better than I had imagined. Even though I so often faced darkness, I discovered light, laughter, and happiness.

I journeyed from that broken, homeless teenager sleeping in the car to eventually being a Medical Doctor at the world-renowned Johns Hopkins. But most important of all, I found me, I found joy.

This is my story.

Homeless to Hopkins.

Genre: Epic Fantasy 

Rion’s prophecy gives him hope through his bleakest years, while Ginny’s prophecy haunts her….

Caves of Glass

by C.A. Gray

Genre: Epic Fantasy

The illegitimate son of a peasant, Rion of Tryferos has very limited prospects with only one remarkable talent: when he plays the lyre, he ushers in the supernatural balm of peace to all who hear. This turns out to be his ticket into the palace, where he nightly plays for the restless, rejected king. King Hector of Tryferos is paranoid, because he knows his days on the throne are numbered. What he doesn’t know is that his anointed successor is Rion.

Princess Genevieve is a spare to the throne of Mageia, shunned by all but her mother out of fear of her magical gift: she possesses the power to manipulate the thoughts and desires of those around her. But Ginny would do anything just to be normal. When a fulfilled prophecy of her mother’s untimely death also foretells that Ginny will ascend the Mageian throne, Ginny wonders whether she has any control over her own fate at all, or whether everything is predetermined.

Both Rion and Ginny are drawn to the forbidden Caves of Glass at the icy pinnacles that border their two perpetually feuding nations. According to legend, the Caves are either a place of strange forbidden magic, or else a place where all deception is stripped away, leaving only clarity and truth in its wake. As Rion flees for his life and Ginny struggles against her destiny, in the Caves of Glass, they find both each other, and themselves.

C.A. Gray is a Naturopathic Medical Doctor (NMD), with a primary care practice in Tucson, Arizona. She has always been captivated by the power of a good story, fictional or otherwise, which is probably why she loves holistic medicine: a patient’s physical health is invariably intertwined with his or her life story, and she believes that the one can only be understood in context with the other. For freebies, giveaways, and new release info, sign up for her newsletter at http://eepurl.com/F3rof.

Her favorite fictional tales have always been epic battles of good versus evil, with a strong tendency towards parable. An idealist herself, she has always been convinced that these stories have something deeply true to tell us about the human condition, and that is why we love them so much… or at least that’s why she does.

She still wants to be everything when she grows up. She moonlights as a college chemistry teacher (she has a degree in biochemistry, with minors in Spanish and Creative Writing), does theater when she gets the chance, sings, plays piano, was once a personal trainer and in coffee shop management. She is blessed with exceptionally supportive family and friends, and thanks God for them every single day.
