This book is about a Green vintage locomotive cartoon character that spreads his goodwill, with mother nature’s wonders, like constructing a Rainbow, filling a lake, making a tornado, and more, as most is written in a poetic and educational form, not only structured for a beginner, while being peppered with rhymes, chimes, and colorful Illustrations, but for an advanced reader as well, that will enjoy the definitions for each illustration, as he or she thumbs through the glossary, looking up words like appreciation, conservation, awareness, tornado, and more. A learning experience to be remembered and appreciated, may this book be one of the many your child reads and enjoys.

About the Author:

Alfred Guajardo was born in Loveland, Colorado, raised in Sacramento, California. My nephew and niece Juan Manuel, and Selena Rose Guajardo, asked me to write a poem for them, one thing led to another, and after a year and a half I ended up writing a book that they both enjoy, and my philosophy in reading, is that if your child is not able to read, he or she will learn sooner or later, better sooner, then later, as reading is the stepping stone towards a never ending educational journey, In due time with a little help, your child will not only learn to read but will enjoy it as well. Thank you and enjoy your quantum leap in meeting your child for a unique odyssey.

Descended 

Fallen Guardian Saga #1

Genre: YA Paranormal Romance

Author Website: http://debraamiller.blogspot.com/

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely Recommend

Reviewed by Tiffany originally for Amazon and her Tiffany Loves Books blog 

So... I started reading this novel feeling a little lost. Let me be honest, it had been a while since I read the blurb and I had no clue what I was getting myself into. Well that being said, the preface drew me and was a total distraction once chapter one started. It was a kind of over-anxious attempt to complete a puzzle while only having one piece. Make sense? I was in over my head. I managed to maintain this sense of confusion for the first couple of chapters...

 

Then I completely fell in love. The story is well set up and once the story telling starts I was completely swept up into it. It is an impossible to put down, action packed, romantic, suspenseful read that is captivating. Miller manages to always maintain the element of the unknown that allows for many surprises and constantly keeps the reader guessing. I love how Miller does high school drama. It is unique, well done and never boring or dull. I love Vie's wit and her quick and smart responses. I love the wide array of well-developed characters, the attention to detail and a very well done third person narration.

All in all, it is an excellent read. I was completely captivated and am looking forward to the sequel. I love the resolution to this novel- It ends well yet it left all this intrigue and a few unanswered questions which make reading the sequel a must. I love the romance in this novel and how utterly spellbinding Descended is. This is a read I definitely recommend.

Reader Compares New Sci-Fi Novel to Asimov

Reach

By Karen A. Wyle

Second in series after Twin-Bred

Genre: Sci-Fi

Author's Web site:  http://www.KarenAWyle.net/reach.html

ISBN: 978-1484889886
(ASIN: B00CWH5SPG)

 

Reviewed by R. Lee Holz originally for Amazon and Goodreads

 

“Reach is a worthy sequel to Twin-Bred, which I praised as one of the most original and beautifully written Sci-Fi novels I've ever read. The story line of Twin-Bred is continued and raised in level of depth and complexity. At the same time, a new and exciting story line is added. There is enough back-story provided that Reach can be read as a standalone novel. However, I think readers will benefit greatly from having first read Twin-Bred so as to fully understand how and why the Twin-Bred came into being and why the concept is so different from the usual human/alien encounter books. I trust and hope we are seeing the beginning of one of the outstanding Sci-Fi adventure series. Although the scope and focus differ greatly, I compare the emerging Twin-Bred series with Asimov's great Foundation novels in terms of interest and, particularly, political intrigue. Highly recommended.”

Help Navigating Financial Reality

On Wed, May 22, we will launch All the Rules Have Changed, What You MUST Do to Succeed in the New Financial Reality by Matt Rettick. The copy is below. Please check your bonuses at http://alltherules.homestead.com/bonuses.html and let me know ASAP of any changes. I'll be out of town from  Thurs 5/16-5/21 (Monday) so I'd like to get all the changes prior to that.  I've included FB post and tweets and would love to see you really hit it for this launch - Matt Rettick is a well-known financial guru and this should be a great launch. If you didn't opt in for this, just ignore it - many of you have said to include you in all. If you can, promote this book in some way. Thanks so much!

All the Rules Have Changed

By Matt Rettick

 

 

This book is for those who are concerned about their financial future? Will you have enough money to retire comfortably one day?  Do you feel like you’re drowning in debt? Is your family financially safe? Do you want help succeeding in the new financial reality?  

 

Matt Rettick, is a true financial insider, with over 24 years of personal experience in the financial services industry, covering investments, insurance and asset protection strategies. He is a sought after speaker and advocate for financial education and the need for "longevity planning" in retirement.  

 

Having struggled with debt himself in the past, as well 

as witnessing his grandparents suffer hardships because of an under planned retirement, Matt committed himself to raising awareness about the importance of building a sound “Financial Fortress” around your money, your family and life, to create the financial security you’ve always dreamed of. This drive to help others eventually led him to personally help thousands of his own clients, and then assist thousands of other financial advisors across the country on the best ways to help their clients reduce debt, save consistently and invest wisely!

 

Here's what one expert said, 

 

“Matt Rettick never fails to deliver! I have known him for many years as both a friend and a business associate. Matt, and my husband Jack, co-authored their previous book, Fiscal Fitness – 8 Steps to Wealth & Health, and together we forged a lasting partnership. Matt'shonesty and integrity shine as he guides the reader through his early personal financial woes and ultimate path to success.  He leaves no stone unturned and lays out a bright future for all who follow his plan.“ 

 

  ~ Elaine LaLanne, Wife to the late, great Jack LaLanne

 

 

 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

 

You’re probably not going to get rich beyond your wildest dreams. But that’s OK. You still can achieve all that’s important to you.

 

Don’t expect to make lots of money off the stock market. The Dow Jones industrial average may (or may not) have averaged gains of more than 10 percent a year since 1928, but who has the 80-plus years to see if it makes them wealthy?

 

The government isn’t going to take care of you, now or later. Government entitlement programs—including Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security—are all in trouble.

 

Job security—and the benefits that came with it, including a lifetime pension when you retire—is gone forever. You’re on your own. Small businesses, entrepreneurship, and lean corporate machines power today’s economy.

 

Your home’s equity will never again be a reliable source for pulling out an equity line of credit or a supplement to your income in retirement. Just look at what the recent recession did to home equityin 2008 and 2009.

 

Health-care costs are rising so rapidly that unless you’re prepared, they’ll destroy you and those you love.

 

Retirement has been retired! Age 80 has become the new 65. Many of those who reach 65 and want to quit their job can’t because of the economy or what the stock market has done to their nest egg.

·        

   Don't miss a chance to protect your nest egg and grow it into a secure, reliable, and ever expanding asset and income stream, which will benefit you, your family and your future. And when you buy Matt’s book today, you'll download dozens of great bonus gifts to secure your “financial fortress” and protect your family for generations to come. http://bit.ly/MRett

About the book:
Book Description
Where Have You Triumphed in Your Own Life?
It takes a tremendous amount of courage to live a human life.
Each of us is a warrior, taking a personal heroic journey, facing the
challenges and obstacles presented to us along the way.
There are those crossroads that appear, turning points where one must
choose between living a life of victory and succumbing to the curse of
defeat.  These moments of truth are marked by defining events that
challenge the human spirit to reach deep within to find courage at the
soul level.  From those depths we must summon and bring forth what is
required to create a life of meaning and worth.  It’s a call to courage –
to face our fears and to overcome – to suffer trials and to conquer.
Courage of the Soul is a book that chronicles the life-changing events of
ordinary people who found their measure of courage, and through their will
and determination they have not only survived their circumstances, but
they persevered.  And having persevered, they triumphed.
In Courage of the Soul, the reader will find a connection between the
narrated stories and their own life experiences.  In reality, the stories
of each of us are the stories of all of us.  And in our own unique way,
each of us has met life’s challenges by taking the journey required to
unearth the courage of our own soul.

About Marion:

accounting, and she has received several academic and professional awards,
including graduating Summa Cum Laude from college and completing her
education in three years. Upon passing the licensing exam while a junior
in college, she became the youngest CPA in the United States that year.
While in Minneapolis she worked for an international public accounting
firm and she served as president of the National Association of

general business management after leaving public accounting, and served as
the executive vice president for one of the largest tour operators in the
upper Midwest.  Upon moving to California, she became a partner in a
jewelry manufacturing company, and subsequently formed a computer
consulting firm, a real estate development company, a CPA firm and a
publishing company.

Do aphrodisiacs work? What exactly are they? How can I use them? We answer these questions and many more during the Simple Sexy Food virtual tour with clinical sex therapist and foodie – Linda De Villers, PhD. There are many ordinary foods that can have aphrodisiac effects – and we’re going to help you understand them.

A Message From Linda De Villers PhD

I created this book to help you enjoy the remarkable relationship between food and sex. These two themes run brightly through my own life both personally and professionally, and are inseparable from my sense of who I am. Having counseled and taught thousands of people on the loving arts, and having fed nearly as many in my kitchens over the years, I find myself in a state of barely contained excitement over the opportunity to share what I know with you. I am the only author in this field to be credentialed in both sexual health and food, having worked and presented internationally and conducted research on the joint topic over the course of my career.

Midwest Book Review –

Every culture has had its own ideas on the aphrodisiac qualities of certain foods. The abilities of some foods to enhance or stimulate human sexuality and sexual responses. Simple Sexy Food is a 247-page compendium showcasing 101 dishes to enhance the libido, spice up bedroom performance, and augment a healthy relations with a loved one. In addition to the recipes, Simple Sexy Food also provides a delineated history of aphrodisiacs, including their use and myths. Unique and thoroughly ‘user friendly’, Simple Sexy Food will prove to be a welcome addition to personal and family cookbook collections, and an ideal gift for newlyweds and the amorously adventurous!

About Simple Sexy Food –

Simple Sexy Food is an aphrodisiac cookbook like no other. Honest and direct, detailed and informative, it’s packed with exclusive recipes, food and sex tips, descriptions and histories of ingredients and even survey data about what food people find sexy. And it’s the only aphrodisiac cookbook written by a clinical sex therapist who also happens to be a foodie!

Cassanova relished the food and meals that accompanied and enhanced his love affairs: he recorded the sensual delight of special meals with his conquests; for him, food was the food of love. Why should it be different for the rest of us? Food and love, two things that sustain us physically and spiritually, have long been associated, and most of us, have a delicious memory or two of when the combination produced a moment that was nothing less than magical. With the right person, preparing and sharing a meal can be a turn-on: intimate, caring, and sensual. The rituals of cooking and dining together can cook up erotic possibilities and create intimacy and romance for all of us. Linda De Villers is a passionate cook who has traveled the world. In Simple Sexy Food, she combines her culinary knowledge with 20 years of experience as a sex and relationship expert to create a sensual self-help guide to help all couples have more magical moments in—and out—of the kitchen.

What are the essential ingredients for a romantic, sensual meal? Food that is luscious and that is especially appealing to all the senses is important; meals are truly “aphrodisiac” when they are experienced as a feast of sensual delights. But for many couples, time—not exotic ingredients—is the ultimate luxury. Getting in the mood for love requires relaxation and setting aside a moment when we can leave workday concerns aside; a little intention—whether it’s a saucy surprise or a seductive invitation—coupled with the pleasure of a special meal that appeals to all the senses can spark moments of intimacy that create all the excitement of spontaneous ones. For couples who have been together for some time, those moments can create even more intimacy, sensuality, and fun.

In its approach and philosophy, Simple Sexy Food is surprisingly simple: Eating together regularly is one factor that significantly contributes to the emotional closeness lovers experience with each other. And in today’s economy, romantic dining-out budgets are shrinking; there’s no better time to get couples in the kitchen, cooking up romance at home. In Simple Sexy Food, Dr. De Villers gives readers simple, fresh, modern recipes for seductive meals, small bites, and drinks, as well as fun, imaginative, and non-intimidating suggestions that will give even shy cooks and would-be seducers more confidence in the kitchen and the bedroom.

Simple Sexy Food redefines aphrodisiacs. In her work as a sex therapist and professor, Dr. De Villers has conducted extensive studies of current attitudes towards aphrodisiacs and the kinds of foods and meals that put modern readers in the mood. While classic aphrodisiac ingredients like oysters, pomegranates, and artichokes are provocative to the palate and the imagination, the most highly-rated romantic foods are simply delectable “passions”—luscious, suggestive foods for romance like chocolate-covered strawberries. Sushi and pasta rate highly, too, and for good reason: sushi may not be a traditional aphrodisiac, but it’s light, sensual, and undeniably sexy. In Simple Sexy Food, timeless aphrodisiac ingredients are highlighted and employed in modern recipes, but what sets Simple Sexy Food apart from other aphrodisiac cookbooks is an equal emphasis on simply delicious foods and meals that will please your partner.

Simple Sexy Food is a first: an aphrodisiac cookbook written by a relationship expert. It will provide ideas and recipes for both weeknight cooking and special occasions. On the recipe pages, it will serve up tantalizing anecdotes from her extensive surveys on how a sensual meal created a romantic moment between lovers and offer sexy serving suggestions. Because Dr. De Villers is a well-known sex therapist, it will also provide a little hand-holding—empowering advice from an expert on how to kick up your confidence a notch in the kitchen and the bedroom. Simple Sexy Food will educate and inspire readers by offering tips for making readers feel sexy before they begin, give serving tips for spicing things up romantically, and give inspiring scene and scenario setting ideas for creating truly delicious moments.

About Linda DeVillers PhD –

Linda De Villers, PhD is an internationally recognized authority on human sexuality and relationships with an emphasis on the role of exercise and diet in improving sexual function. Her work has been featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Men’s Health, and more. For a year, she wrote a monthly column in Health magazine; prior to that she was a weekly Q&A Columnist for Playboy.com. Dr. De Villers’ private practice helps individuals and couples replace sexual concerns with confidence in themselves for a richly satisfying sex life. She carries her sex-positive focus into her popular human sexuality courses offered at several major universities and colleges. A lifelong gourmet foodie and avid tennis player, she makes her home in coastal Los Angeles.

Recipe Photo Contest –
