The Truth Behind Mozart’s Death: Fact or Fiction?

This book blurs the lines between fiction and reality where history, theory, and storytelling collide

DARWIN, Australia, Sept. 24, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Was Mozart murdered because of a dangerous secret? A shocking new novel by Dr. Martin W. B. Jarvis, “The Other Mozart: The Magic Flute – An Opera to Die For!” (ISBN: 978-1779628961; released through Tellwell Publishing, August 2025), raises bold questions about one of history’s greatest composers — and whether his genius might not have been entirely his own.

Image caption: Cover, “The Other Mozart: The Magic Flute – An Opera to Die For!”

Part thriller, part historical mystery, this provocative novel takes readers inside the shadowy world of secret societies, hidden manuscripts, and a long-buried conspiracy. Jarvis builds his story on genuine forensic handwriting evidence, suggesting that Mozart’s older sister, Marie Anne, may have been the real creative force behind works attributed to her brother.

“Through forensic examination, I discovered that the name Amadeo Wolfgango Mozart — found on multiple manuscripts — was actually written by Mozart’s sister, Marie Anne,” says Jarvis. “After Mozart died, I believe she and his widow constructed the persona of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a name he never called himself.”

Mozart’s untimely death remains a mystery — one that may have stemmed from his ties to the Rosicrucian Brotherhood and the Prussian King, a sworn enemy of Austria — a theory the novel explores.

The result is a novel that keeps readers on the edge of their seat — a mix of fact and speculation, history and intrigue.

“The Other Mozart: The Magic Flute – An Opera to Die For!” is available through all major online retailers including Amazon.com

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Dr. Martin W. B. Jarvis OAM CM, Ph.D., FIMT, FRSA, is a professor at Charles Darwin University in Australia and an expert in forensic handwriting analysis. He has served as a board member of the Australian and New Zealand Forensic Society and as an expert witness in legal proceedings. Jarvis has studied Mozart since 2006, and alongside this novel, has completed a nonfiction volume on his controversial findings.

On Contemplating God the Trinity: A Collection of Poems – Annette R Allen’s Debut Volume Explores the Mystery, Majesty, and Love of God Through Poetry

With a voice that is both reverent and imaginative, Annette blends classical forms such as sonnets with modern free verse

GOLD COAST, Queensland, Australia, Sept. 10, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — What if poetry could open a window into the mystery of God Himself? In “On Contemplating God the Trinity: A Collection of Poems” (ISBN: 9781834182230), Australian poet Annette R. Allen invites readers on a lyrical journey into the heart of the Christian faith, exploring the majesty of creation, the wonder of the Trinity, and the love of Christ that changes everything.

Image caption: Cover, “On Contemplating God the Trinity: A Collection of Poems,” by Annette R. Allen.

With a voice that is both reverent and imaginative, Annette blends classical forms such as sonnets with modern free verse, offering variety and depth for every reader. While her poems are firmly rooted in biblical Christianity, they also serve as an exploration of beauty, meaning, and the human quest for truth. Readers do not need to be believers to engage with this collection. Its lyrical imagery and universal themes of love, wonder, and purpose invite anyone to pause, reflect, and contemplate life’s greatest questions.

Annette believes that poetry has a way of opening the soul. She hopes that her words will speak not only to those of faith but to anyone who has ever looked at the stars, felt wonder, and longed for meaning.

Through vivid imagery and thoughtful rhythm, “On Contemplating God the Trinity” guides readers into the mystery of God, from the marvel of creation and the incarnation of Christ to His purposes through the church, all resting on the foundation of divine love. Each poem invites reflection on a different aspect of faith and existence, with verses that stir both the intellect and the heart.

“On Contemplating God the Trinity” is more than a poetry collection. It is an invitation to explore life’s deepest questions through language shaped by awe, devotion, and reflection.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Annette R. Allen is a practicing dentist, lifelong lover of literature, and now a published Australian poet. Her love for the Bible began early, shaped by her upbringing as the daughter of a Presbyterian minister and theologian. She began writing poetry in her youth, returned to it in 2012, and has since been published in two Australian anthologies. Her debut collection explores one of humanity’s deepest pursuits: contemplating God as revealed through Scripture and creation.

Annette lives on the Gold Coast with her husband, David. They have three sons and three grandsons. Alongside her love for poetry, science, and music, she has served as a church organist since her youth, carrying forward her lifelong devotion to God and His Word.

New Book, ‘The Crisis Casebook,’ Reveals How the World’s Leading Brands Navigate Disasters and Scandals

WASHINGTON, D.C., Sept. 9, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — In a world where disruption is constant and crises can strike without warning, a new book by crisis management expert Edward Segal offers a timely roadmap for organizations, leaders, and public figures who want to be prepared for the inevitable. “The Crisis Casebook: Lessons in Crisis Management from the World’s Leading Brands” (ISBN: 978-1399822381; hardcover) published by John Murray Business and available on September 9, 2025, examines hundreds of real-world examples of crises that have rocked companies, celebrities, and other high-profile individuals.

Image caption: Cover, “The Crisis Casebook: Lessons in Crisis Management from the World’s Leading Brands” – a new book by crisis management expert Edward Segal.

Drawing on his experience as a longtime crisis management expert and his reporting as a leadership strategies senior contributor for Forbes.com, Segal distills actionable lessons for how to prevent, respond to, and recover from a wide range of crisis situations.

“It doesn’t matter who you are or what business you’re in – you are never far from a crisis,” Segal said.

A TIMELY WAKE-UP CALL FOR BUSINESS LEADERS

Recent data underscores the urgent need for preparedness. According to The Conference Board’s “C-Suite Outlook 2023,” fewer than half of executives worldwide said they were prepared for another pandemic or public health emergency. Just 41% reported readiness for a cybersecurity incident, and only 39% were prepared for financial instability.

Segal argues that these gaps in readiness can have devastating consequences. “A poorly managed crisis can damage reputations, profits, and even destroy organizations,” he said. “Executives and leaders who fail to prepare will risk their careers, their companies, and the people who depend on them.”

From supply chain disruptions and lawsuits to workplace misconduct, and accidents, “The Crisis Casebook” shows how crises emerge and what organizations can do to protect themselves before it’s too late.

LESSONS FROM THE FRONT LINES

The book builds on the more than 700 crises Segal has analyzed in his popular Forbes.com column. With new, previously unreleased material, he recounts how global brands, nonprofits, and public figures – including celebrities and royalty – have stumbled or succeeded when facing high-stakes challenges.

Segal highlights best practices and cautionary tales, explaining how leaders can avoid missteps and adopt strategies that have proven effective. His approach is rooted in decades of hands-on experience managing crises, advising organizations, and training executives and staff.

Among the topics covered in the book:

The definition of a crisis and when to activate a crisis management team
The best and worst responses by corporations and public figures to crisis situations
The “10 Rs” of crisis management
How to measure the true cost of a crisis beyond immediate financial losses
Strategies for effective training, planning, and crisis drills
The evolving role of crisis PR in the social media era

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Edward Segal has spent more than 30 years in the field of crisis management. He served as CEO of two trade associations, where he personally managed internal and external crisis situations. As a consultant, he has advised more than 500 corporations and organizations on surviving disasters, scandals, and emergencies.

Segal previously worked as a marketing strategies columnist for The Wall Street Journal’s StartUpJournal.com and as a senior media relations consultant with Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide. He is the author of the bestselling “Crisis Ahead: 101 Ways to Prepare for and Bounce Back from Disasters, Scandals, and Other Emergencies” and “Whistle-Stop Politics: Campaign Trains and the Reporters Who Covered Them.”

He also hosts “The Crisis Management Minute” on Apple Podcasts and the Federal News Network, which is ranked the #4 crisis management podcast in the world by FeedSpot.

PRAISE FOR THE CRISIS CASEBOOK

Segal’s work has already drawn endorsements from leaders in journalism, politics, academia, and business:

“Who did it right and who fell short is spelled out in ‘The Crisis Casebook,’ an easy read that offers a roadmap for success.” — Eleanor Clift, Daily Beast columnist.
“Studying this crisis casebook will help anyone who is in a position vulnerable to unanticipated risk and inadequate preparation.” — Mike McCurry, Former White House Press Secretary.
“Not only a must-read—it’s a must-have at the ready when crises happen.” — Jim Kennedy, former spokesman for Bill and Hillary Clinton, Sony, and News Corp.
“An amazing resource for communication practitioners and organizational leaders alike.” — Mitchell Marovitz, University of Maryland Global Campus.
“The sooner you read this book, the sooner you will be prepared for what comes next.” — Arnold Sanow, author, “Get Along with Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere.”

A RESOURCE FOR THE FUTURE

Segal hopes that his new book will encourage leaders not only to study how others have handled crises but also to take action in preparing for their own.

“Crises are not a matter of ‘if,’ but ‘when,’” Segal said. “The best time to prepare is before disaster strikes. ‘The Crisis Casebook’ provides the tools and insights leaders need to protect their organizations and themselves.”

New Book ‘Personality Intelligence: Master the Art of Being You’ by Merrick Rosenberg Unlocks the Power of Personality to Transform Work, Relationships, and Life

MARLTON, N.J., Sept. 2, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — After helping more than 15 million people worldwide discover their personality style, Merrick Rosenberg -entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and the creative force behind the popular “bird” framework of personality – announces the release of his groundbreaking new book, “Personality Intelligence: Master the Art of Being You (For Your Sake and Everyone Else’s)” (ISBN: 978-1959554080; hardcover), available September 2, 2025.

Image caption: Cover, “Personality Intelligence: Master the Art of Being You” by Merrick Rosenberg.

Rosenberg, widely known as “The Bird Guy,” has spent more than three decades pioneering innovative approaches to personality-based learning. His reimagining of the traditional DISC model into four instantly recognizable birds – Eagle, Parrot, Dove, and Owl – has made understanding personality fun, intuitive, and unforgettable. With “Personality Intelligence,” Rosenberg takes his work to the next level, introducing a fresh, practical framework that helps readers not only understand themselves but also grow into the best version of who they can become.

“An understanding of all the personality styles, not just our own, reveals the path to becoming the highest expression of ourselves,” Rosenberg says.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Merrick Rosenberg is a trailblazing entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and the foremost expert on how personality shapes behavior, relationships, and success. In 2012, he revolutionized the DISC personality model by reimagining the classic letters as four memorable birds – Eagle, Parrot, Dove, and Owl – making the styles instantly visual, relatable, and unforgettable.

Merrick is the co-founder of Team Builders Plus (1991) and Take Flight Learning (2012), and has brought his innovative approach to more than two-thirds of the Fortune 100. He’s the author of eight award-winning books on personality and leadership, including Taking “Flight!,” “The Chameleon,” and “Which Bird Are You?,” and is the creative force behind the acclaimed short film “BirdBrains, Inc.,” winner of 23 film festival awards.

His upcoming book, “Personality Intelligence: Master the Art of Being You (For Your Sake and Everyone Else’s),” will be released in September 2025 and offers a bold new framework for personal and professional transformation.

Merrick’s journey began in management consulting, where he quickly realized that real change requires more than process, it demands people who understand and work well with each other. Driven by this insight, he earned an MBA in Organizational Development and founded one of the first team-building companies in the U.S. From there, he pioneered a new era of personality-based training that blends self-awareness with interactive learning.

Through his energetic keynotes, engaging programs, and innovative tools, Merrick continues to help people unlock their potential by mastering the one thing they carry with them everywhere: their personality.

ABOUT THE BOOK

“Personality Intelligence: Master the Art of Being You” offers a bold new perspective on personal growth and interpersonal success. While most personality assessments label people in fixed categories, Rosenberg argues that personality is not a box to sit in, it’s a springboard for transformation.

The book introduces the four familiar bird styles – Eagle (direct and results-driven), Parrot (social and enthusiastic), Dove (harmonious and compassionate), and Owl (logical and detail-oriented) – and explores how each plays out in everyday life.

Readers are then guided through the four levels of Personality Intelligence (PIQ):

Level 1: The Unevolved State – unaware individuals whose personalities work against them.
Level 2: The Typical State – people whose style serves them but occasionally sabotages them.
Level 3: The Master State – those who have elevated their personality to its best expression.
Level 4: The Chameleon State – rare individuals who seamlessly adapt to any style and thrive in every situation.

Through engaging fables, neuroscience insights, celebrity stories, and colorful characters like Dawn Eagleton, Ian Parrotti, Scarlett Doveridge, and Carter Barnowl, Rosenberg paints a vivid roadmap for readers to recognize themselves as they were, are, and could be.

“Personality Intelligence” is both a mirror and a guide, offering readers the tools to better understand themselves, build stronger relationships, and create greater success in all areas of life.

ABOUT TAKE FLIGHT LEARNING

Take Flight Learning is the leading provider of personality-based training solutions, founded by Merrick Rosenberg in 2012. The company has brought its dynamic and interactive programs to organizations across industries, helping individuals and teams improve communication, collaboration, and performance through the power of personality.

Special Operations Group: Christophe Glasl Returns with the Unflinching Memoir of Life Inside Australia’s Elite Police Unit

MELBOURNE, Australia, Sept. 2, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — After years of silence, former Victoria Police officer Christophe Glasl is reclaiming his story. His memoir, “Special Operations Group” (ISBN: 978-1998482726; paperback), is once again available to readers, offering a raw, unfiltered look inside one of Australia’s most secretive and dangerous law enforcement units.

Image caption: Cover, “Special Operations Group” by Christophe Glasl.

When “Special Operations Group” was first released by Hachette, it drew immediate attention, not only for its explosive content but also for the controversy it sparked. Police publicly challenged parts of Glasl’s story, and the publisher pulled the book from sale.

Glasl, however, has never wavered in his position. With full ownership of his work, he is determined to ensure that the truth is heard, and the book is now available for readers to purchase.

“This book is about truth, my truth,” says Glasl. “It was never written out of revenge. It was written to shed light on what really goes on inside the Special Operations Group and to reveal the personal toll of serving in that world. Institutions can push back, but the lived experience of those on the inside cannot be erased.”

Glasl joined Victoria Police at 19 with a singular ambition: to earn a place in the Special Operations Group (SOG). After enduring one of the most brutal selection processes in Australian policing, he entered a career defined by high-stakes operations including hostage rescues, counter-terrorism, drug busts worth hundreds of millions, and some of the darkest days in modern Australian history.

But “Special Operations Group” is more than a catalogue of missions. It is an insider’s revelation of a unit plagued by bullying, toxic culture, and immense psychological strain. Glasl writes candidly about the trauma of the job, the pressure to remain silent, and his own struggle with drug use as a desperate escape. His book exposes both the thrill and the devastating cost of serving in the SOG, a story few in power wanted told.

“Readers expect tales of heroics and headlines,” Glasl reflects. “What I wanted to give them is honesty. Behind the armour and tactics are men who carry scars, both physical and psychological. This book is about acknowledging that, and hopefully giving others the courage to speak out and seek help.”

Equal parts gripping frontline action and deeply human storytelling, “Special Operations Group” offers a rare inside perspective on what it takes to serve, survive, and eventually heal.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Christophe Glasl joined Victoria Police at nineteen and went on to serve in the Special Operations Group during the 1990s, taking part in some of Australia’s most high-risk operations. Today, he shares his story with honesty and humility, advocating for greater awareness of the mental health struggles faced by frontline officers. He continues to live a life grounded in fitness, gratitude, and resilience.

‘The Logic of Psychology’ 2nd Edition Unveils a Bold New Framework for Understanding the Human Mind

Peter McQuaig Redefines Psychology with Groundbreaking Insights in Updated 2nd Edition

TORONTO, Ontario, Canada, Aug. 27, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — “The Logic of Psychology: Of Science at Large, and Everyday Life” (2nd Edition; ISBN: 978-1779625847; released by Tellwell Publishing) by Peter McQuaig is now available, delivering a bold new framework for understanding human psychology and its place within science. With renewed clarity and expanded insights, this updated edition repositions psychology as a discipline with its own inherent logic – giving it a unity, power, and articulation of a renewed, more befitting relationship to physical science.

Image caption: Cover, “The Logic of Psychology” 2nd Edition.

While psychology has often been viewed as a fractured field—its theories and schools of thought seemingly at odds—McQuaig shows us how this fragmentation is not inevitable. Instead, he identifies a critical oversight in classical rationality: the absence of a logic specifically applicable to psychological subject matter. His work reveals that this not only exists, but could transform psychology into a science that has a power parallel to, yet very different than, that of physics.

“Psychology has its own logic and rationality, and this is now made explicit,” says McQuaig. “With its universality and depth, this logic facilitates insight and offers a satisfying, well-founded understanding of self and world.”

The new edition of “The Logic of Psychology” expands on the original with refined explanations, broader applications, and a deeper dive into the philosophical and scientific implications of this novel framework. It speaks not only to psychologists and philosophers, but to anyone seeking a clearer understanding of human nature, cognition, and behavior.

“The Logic of Psychology is not limited in its scope to psychology proper, but has important lessons for diverse subject areas, for example, cognitive science, linguistics and philosophy. This is a ground-breaking work and a must-read for academic and layperson alike.”
— Brian Baigrie, Professor of Philosophy and author of Scientific Revolutions

“McQuaig’s conception is powerful.”
— David Bakan, Professor Emeritus of Psychology and author of The Duality of Human Existence

“Once you grasp [this], it changes everything.”
— Keiller Mackay

Peter McQuaig is a past president of the McQuaig Institute, a leading psychological consulting firm in Canada. A graduate of the University of Toronto in psychology, McQuaig has led the development of cutting-edge psychological assessments and has long studied the intersections of physical science, social science, and philosophy. “The Logic of Psychology” reflects decades of inquiry and offers essential insight for scientists, thinkers, and everyday readers alike.

“The Logic of Psychology: Of Science at Large, and Everyday Life” (2nd Edition) is available now in print and digital formats through Amazon and other major retailers.

‘My Husband Almost Killed Me’ is a powerful memoir of survival and resilience

VICTORIA, BC, Canada, Aug. 25, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — In “My Husband Almost Killed Me” (ISBN: 978-1779626462; Released June, 2025 by Tellwell Publishing), the late author Linda Beason shares her harrowing true story of abuse, survival, and the strength to rebuild a life for herself and her children. The book has already resonated with readers worldwide, appearing on more than 1,200 reader lists on Goodreads.

Image caption: “My Husband Almost Killed Me,” by the late author Linda Beason.

The memoir opens with the chilling words spoken by Linda’s husband: “If you ever leave me, I will kill the kids then I will kill you.” What follows is Linda’s candid account of seven years in a violent marriage that culminated in an attempt on her life.

Raised on a farm in Indiana, Linda’s early life was rooted in responsibility and resilience. She served three years in the Marine Corps before marrying her college sweetheart. But her marriage quickly unraveled into years of domestic abuse driven by alcohol and rage. After surviving his attempt to kill her, Linda fled with her three children to Florida, determined to protect them and find a new path forward.

“My Husband Almost Killed Me” not only reveals the private struggles of living with an abusive partner, but also speaks to other women who may feel trapped in similar circumstances. With honesty and courage, Linda reminds readers that even in the darkest times, there is always the possibility of choosing a different life.

Linda Beason passed away in 2024 before the book’s publication, but her words live on as a testament of resilience and hope for others facing toxic relationships.

Linda grew up in Indiana, studied at Purdue University, and worked in both agriculture and accounting for companies such as the Green Giant Company. She was also a proud veteran of the United States Marine Corps. Her life story reflects not only hardship, but also perseverance, faith, and the love she carried for her family.

‘Unforgiving Thresholds’ – Book Five in ‘The Shaman Speaks’ Series by Don Trudeau Calls Urgent Attention to Humanity’s Tipping Points

WHITEHORSE, Yukon, Canada, Aug. 19, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Ojibwe of Ontario elder, storyteller, and author Don Trudeau announces the release of “Unforgiving Thresholds” (ISBN: 978-1834182582), the fifth installment in his acclaimed ‘The Shaman Speaks’ series. Drawing on more than seven decades of observation as a Shaman in the First Nation depiction, Trudeau offers a powerful warning about the environmental, social, and spiritual crises that humanity has brought upon itself.

Image caption: Cover, ‘Unforgiving Thresholds’ – Book Five in ‘The Shaman Speaks’ Series by Don Trudeau.

“Given that Mother Nature tends to correct unfavorable exceptions of the whole, then change is in order, soon to come,” Trudeau writes. In “Unforgiving Thresholds,” he explores how humanity’s actions have created ripples – like stones thrown into a pond – that expand outward, merging into an unstoppable collapse of thresholds. Some readers may revisit the book’s message multiple times, while others may only see its truth when events make its warnings undeniable.

WHY HE WROTE THE BOOK

“My book is about the many thresholds that mankind is currently witnessing the results of, setting the stage for our own downfall,” says Trudeau. “Mankind’s rise in numbers, polluting habits has gone unchecked for millennia, placing us outside the environmental balance to contribute to a healthy world.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Don Trudeau was taught observance from a young age and has practiced it throughout his 78 years. As a Shaman, he has witnessed profound changes in wildlife, climate, economy, health, weather patterns, and catastrophic land events. He served as a caretaker at Fort Selkirk in the Yukon where he worked to preserve Indigenous history through storytelling and the written word.

“Unforgiving Thresholds” joins previous volumes in ‘The Shaman Speaks’ series, including “The Shaman Speaks, Volume 1: Gather You My Wisdom,” “Volume 2: The Teachings” and “Volume 3: The Elder’s Tears.” With more books in progress and planned, the series remains a vital part of Trudeau’s mission to pass on the wisdom, traditions, and cautionary lessons of the First Nations People.

AVAILABILITY

“Unforgiving Thresholds” is available now through Amazon and other major booksellers.

From Abuse and Isolation to Love and Leadership, Entrepreneur Calvin Bagley Shares His Journey in New Memoir ‘Hiding from the School Bus’

LAS VEGAS, Nev., Aug. 13, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Born into poverty and hidden from the world, Calvin Bagley was never expected to succeed—let alone change the lives of tens of thousands of Americans. Bagley didn’t just grow up poor—he grew up using an outhouse, forbidden to attend school, and completely cut off from the outside world. In his breathtaking new memoir, “Hiding from the School Bus: Breaking Free from Control, Fear, Isolation and a Childhood without Education” (ISBN: 978-1-964377-81-0 [ebook]; 978-1-964377-87-2 [paperback]; 978-1-964377-88-9 [hardcover], Legacy Launch Pad Publishing), Bagley recounts how he went from total isolation and a childhood of neglect and abuse to becoming a wealthy entrepreneur, world traveler, devoted husband and father, and respected leader in the healthcare industry.

Image caption: “Hiding from the School Bus: Breaking Free from Control, Fear, Isolation and a Childhood without Education” by Calvin Bagley.

Born in rural Utah as one of nine siblings, Calvin was raised in a deeply controlling environment where education was condemned, love was withheld, and children were forced into labor instead of learning. While other kids packed backpacks and rode school buses, Calvin was told that school was evil—and he hid, literally, from the bus every morning. The first time he ever stepped into a classroom was when he enrolled in college as an adult.

Despite being denied a basic education, Calvin bravely asked to learn to read at age seven. Small acts of bravery and defiance like this continued to become his stepping stones for trying to break free from a life that held him down. Guided by a personal faith—one very different from the fear-based version used to control him—he set out to build a life of freedom and meaning.

As a young man, he left the small, manipulated world his parents had created and served a mission in Brazil, where he encountered devastating poverty—but also discovered resilience, purpose, and human connection. He later worked as a flight attendant while living in Chicago, IL using his flight benefits to feed a lifelong hunger to see the world and figure out where he belonged in it.

Eventually, Calvin made his way to Las Vegas, where he enrolled in college despite never having received any formal education. While working full-time, he took night classes and earned his bachelor’s degree—a milestone that once seemed unimaginable. During this same period, he began working at a large financial institution, where he rose through the ranks to become an executive. It was also during college that he met and married the love of his life, Karissa. Today, they share a beautiful life with their two children and remain based in Las Vegas, NV.

Now a successful entrepreneur, Calvin is the founder and president of Nuvo Health (www.nuvohealth.com), a national Medicare Field Marketing Organization (FMO) headquartered in Las Vegas, NV. He is also the visionary and founder behind Nuvo Wealth (www.nuvowm.com),a wealth management company, and three consumer-facing Medicare assistance brands The Medicare Store (www.themedicarestore.com), Medicare Hub (www.medicarehub.com), and PlanFit (www.myplanfit.com). His Medicare companies have helped tens of thousands of Americans navigate the complexities of Medicare and health insurance, often recommending plans that don’t even compensate his agency, simply because it’s the right thing to do. Calvin also sits on committees and advisory councils in healthcare, invests in healthcare companies, such as Modus Laboratories (www.moduslaboratories.com), advises other business leaders, and is considered a thought leader and sought-after motivational speaker on leadership and resilience, sharing his expertise nationwide to inspire others.

Calvin has traveled to all 50 U.S. states and all seven continents. He’s hiked a mountain in Antarctica, explored iconic landmarks across Europe, ridden camels by Egypt’s pyramids, climbed to the top of Sydney’s Harbour Bridge, paddled through sea waters in Thailand, roasted s’mores over a volcano in Guatemala, and zip-lined through jungle canopies in South America—all while visiting places he once traced on a map as a kid, never imagining—but always hoping—he’d one day see them with his own eyes. But his most profound transformation has been internal: from a boy who felt worthless and unloved to a man surrounded by love—from his wife and children, his friends, his employees, and the professionals who now turn to him for leadership, guidance, and friendship.

“Hiding from the School Bus” is not just a memoir—it’s a declaration that where you start does not have to determine where you finish. Calvin Bagley’s life is living proof that even the most painful beginnings can give rise to extraordinary purpose, success, and love.

The book is available now in print and eBook formats through major retailers.

(ISBN: 978-1-964377-81-0 [ebook]; 978-1-964377-87-2 [paperback]; 978-1-964377-88-9 [hardcover], Legacy Launch Pad Publishing.)

‘The Real Superheroes of Beverly Hills’ Get Glitzy Debut at Comic-Con

Nation's biggest pop culture event was launchpad for new illustrated novel

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Aug. 6, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The glittering facade of Beverly Hills just got a serious makeover in the pages of “The Real Superheroes of Beverly Hills” illustrated novel. Writer and longtime comic-book scribe Steve Stern (“Zen Intergalactic Ninja”) said, “It’s the story of four students at Beverly Hills High who receive some wild powers during a cosmic event at Griffith Observatory, are immediately outed by a tabloid reporter, and then given their own reality TV show.” He added with a smile, “What could possibly go wrong?”

Image caption: “The Real Superheroes of Beverly Hills” illustrated novel debuted at Comic-Con.

Jim Fletcher, who for years was Creative Director of DC Direct, the collectible merchandise division of DC Comics, teamed up with his daughter Leila to provide the illustrations for the novel. “We set out to explore what heroism looks like when filtered through the lens of fame, vanity and the age of social media,” Fletcher said.

“The Real Superheroes of Beverly Hills” is published by 1First Books. Publisher Ken F. Levin, who is also an Executive Producer of the Amazon Prime megahit “The Boys,” said, “With its unique concept, this illustrated novel is a great new addition to our growing imprint, and it received a highly enthusiastic reception at Comic-Con.”

Stern and Fletcher have a long history. The two met decades ago when Fletcher created the packaging art for the “Zen Intergalactic Ninja” videogames from Konami and action figures from Just Toys, as well as illustrated all of the covers for the “Zen” series published by Archie Comics.

A genre-bending mix of action, humor, and satire that offers a fresh take on the superhero genre, “The Real Superheroes of Beverly Hills” is also suitably action-packed, with a revenge-seeking psychopath who employs an army of AI-enhanced henchmen to disrupt events at the Beverly Hills Hotel — as well as at Comic-Con itself.

Stern, himself a resident of Beverly Hills, said, “We wanted to really have fun at some of the iconic locations that figure into the book.”

What’s in the future for “The Real Superheroes of Beverly Hills”? “Everyone who got a copy at Comic-Con invariably asked, ‘Is this a reality TV show?’” Stern added. “And my answer was always, “Hopefully, it will be.”

New book, ‘Whispers from the Shadow,’ spotlights suicide’s silent struggle: A psychologist’s battle with his own shadow

'Whispers from the Shadow: Confronting the Call of Suicide' by Dr. Jacques A. Frigault, blends memoir, facts, philosophical perspectives and a powerful call to action during suicide prevention month in September

TORONTO, Ontario, Aug. 6, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — What if the very voice that drove you to save others was the same one urging you toward the edge? Icy Peaks Publishing is proud to announce the release of “Whispers from the Shadow: Confronting the Call of Suicide” (ISBN: 978-1069171009) by Dr. Jacques A. Frigault. Dr. Frigault holds a doctorate in psychology and breaks decades of silence to share a most personal and haunting story – his own. His work is especially timely with September marking National Suicide Prevention Month and World Suicide Prevention Day observed on September 10.

Image Caption: Front Book Cover, “Whispers from the Shadow,” by Dr. Jacques A. Frigault.

For more than 50 years, Dr. Frigault guided others out of the darkness. He helped them to face personal mental health struggles and to overcome thoughts of suicide. In this book, he reveals the painful truth behind his life’s work: he, too, was battling an inner voice – born from the devastating loss of his older brother to suicide at a young age — that beckoned him toward the same fate.

This deeply moving and eye-opening book is more than a memoir. It’s a testament to the human spirit’s ability to endure and rise. Dr. Frigault takes readers on a journey through grief, resilience and renewal. He offers powerful insight into suicide’s emotional, historical and philosophical roots. He draws from personal experience and clinical expertise, and dispels harmful myths, illuminates warning signs and encourages life-saving dialogue.

As suicide rates continue to climb (53,000+ lives were lost to suicide in North America in 2023), Dr. Frigault’s message is more urgent than ever. He is available for interviews to discuss his book, suicide prevention efforts, and to share how anyone can better equip themselves to recognize and respond to silent suffering.

Icy Peaks Publishing invites media outlets to join in raising awareness by featuring “Whispers from the Shadow” in upcoming stories. Review copies are available upon request, and “Whispers from the Shadow” is now available in paperback and eBook formats through Amazon.

‘Pundalik & Lord Vitthala’ Shares a Timeless Story for Children, of Love and Respect for one’s parents and what this truly means in life

LEICESTER, U.K., Aug. 4, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Mala Khiroya, a pharmacist turned author and storyteller, introduces young readers to the beauty of love, respect, and family values through her new children’s book, “Pundalik & Lord Vitthala: The Man Whom God Visited Because He Served His Parents Selflessly with Love” (ISBN: 9781779628800; released July, 2025 by Tellwell Publishing) – this inspiring story is now available worldwide.

Image caption: Book cover: “Pundalik and Lord Vitthala” by Mala Khiroya.

Rooted in the rich cultural and spiritual traditions of India, “Pundalik & Lord Vitthala” invites readers into the world of Pundalik, a kind boy from a magical forest near Pandharpur who, as he grows older, begins to neglect his parents. When Lord Vitthala himself visits Pundalik, the encounter teaches a powerful lesson about the importance of honoring and caring for one’s parents. The book gently weaves these themes into a tale that children and families of all backgrounds can appreciate.

Designed for readers aged five to ten, the book also includes engaging activities at the end, encouraging young readers to continue exploring the story’s message in a fun, interactive way. Early feedback from parents and educators has called the book “timeless” and “a valuable tool for teaching empathy and respect.”

Mala Khiroya’s lifelong love for storytelling was nurtured through reading to her nephew and niece. Inspired by the teachings of Pujya Bhaishri Rameshbhai Oza and her own cultural heritage, Mala has spent the past three years running children’s classes focused on character, values, and the joy of learning. She has also authored Hanuman Chalisa with illustrations for children and Shlokas, a meaningful calendar for young learners.

Former Seminarian Shares Journey from Religious Life to Freedom in the Relaunch of His Book ‘Uncollared’

LOS ANGELES, Calif., July 23, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — At the age of 13, David F. Yep left his home in Rockford, Illinois to embark on what would become a 13-year journey in Catholic seminary life. It’s a journey he brilliantly breaks down in “Uncollared: Your Heart Knows the Way, Re-Learn How to Listen to It” (ISBN: 979-8992585452 [ebook]; 979-8992585469 [paperback]), which has just been relaunched with a fresh introduction by Elevate Press.

Image caption: “Uncollared: Your Heart Knows the Way, Re-Learn How to Listen to It,” by David Yep.

Born the sixth of eight children, Yep was a contemplative young boy who would climb trees with his lunch and books, deep in thought for what seemed like hours. He went from this suburban childhood to the Immaculate Conception Apostolic School in New Hampshire, and later to religious formation in Germany, Spain, Italy and Austria.

“Uncollared” details Yep’s journey and presents 12 lessons in freedom that emerged from hisexperiences in religious life and beyond.

In the book, Yep details his first days in seminary, when he entered a strictly regimented lifestyle. “From that moment on, every minute of every day was scheduled,” he writes, “from the amount of time we had to shower and dress ourselves, to the activities we took part in during the day, to the ever-so-short ‘free times’ we were allowed.”

His experiences included picking strawberries with immigrants in Germany and organizing youth programs across Austria. “I wanted to change the world, and dedicate my life to the service of others,” Yep writes of his initial calling.

However, after years of internal struggle, his path changed: “My heart was pretty clearly telling me that I did not want to live without marriage and sex.” When he finally left religious life, he recalls, “I was flying home to a country I hadn’t lived in for a decade. I was going home to a family who I had left a long time ago, both them and I growing and morphing massively while being apart.”

“Uncollared,” Yep emphasizes, is not as much about the answers as it is about learning to ask yourself the right questions. He writes, “It is a lesson for anyone who wants to evolve, a letter to anyone who feels stuck, a message for anyone who asks themselves whether there is something more to life.”

“Uncollared: Your Heart Knows the Way, Re-Learn How to Listen to It” is available now on Amazon.

Philippe Le Blanc Publishes ‘Advantage Equities’: An Original Take on Stock Market Investing Inspired by the Game of Tennis

MONTREAL, Quebec, July 18, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Chief Investment Officer of COTE 100 and respected financial columnist Philippe Le Blanc has officially released “Advantage Equities: Invest Between the Lines and Win” (ISBN: 978-0228818939; released June 2025 by Tellwell Publishing), an insightful new book offering investors a fresh, accessible perspective on the world of stock market investing. The book marks a natural successor to the bestselling “La Bourse ou la Vie,” co-written in 1995 by Philippe and his father, Guy Le Blanc.

Image caption: Cover, “Advantage Equities,” by author Philippe Le Blanc.

Published in English as “Advantage Equities” following the recent success of its French counterpart “Avantage Bourse,” the book explores the parallels between competitive sports — particularly tennis — and financial markets. Le Blanc demonstrates how mastering both disciplines requires not only technical skill but also a deep understanding of psychology, decision-making, and risk management.

“For more than 30 years at COTE 100, contributing to financial literacy has been part of our mission,” says Philippe Le Blanc. “With ‘Advantage Equities,’ my goal is to make stock market investing more approachable for the everyday investor by shifting the focus away from dry financial ratios and towards the behavioral and strategic factors that so often determine outcomes in both markets and life.”

In “Advantage Equities,” Le Blanc identifies the most common pitfalls investors face — including over 30 documented behavioral biases — and provides readers with practical tools and frameworks to navigate them. The book is structured around three core themes: strategy, fundamental analysis, and psychology. Through real-world examples and clear, multidisciplinary insights, Le Blanc guides readers in developing their own personalized method of investment analysis and decision-making.

About the Author:

Philippe Le Blanc is Executive Chairman of the Board and Chief Investment Officer of COTE 100, a Canadian firm specializing in retail portfolio management. He holds an MBA and the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation, and has authored more than 450 articles and blogs on investment through his weekly blog Between the Lines and long-running financial newsletter COTE 100+. A passionate tennis player, Le Blanc uses the game as a metaphor for the high-stakes world of investing, offering a unique, engaging approach to financial education.

“Advantage Equities” is now available on Amazon and major bookselling platforms.

The Wake-Up Call: Challenging Feminism’s Impact on Dating

BURLEIGH HEADS, Queensland, July 15, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — If dating feels like one big performance review and you’re constantly trying to prove you’re good enough, this book is your permission slip to stop. Meet “Stop Hating Dating, Start Being You” (ISBN: 978-1834182261) — the bold and brutally honest read from Gold Coast–based author Sarah van Eck, which is not just shaking up the dating world but also questioning the way feminism has shaped modern love.

Image caption: Book cover, “Stop Hating Dating, Start Being YOU.”

This isn’t your average dating guide. It’s raw, real, and laugh-out-loud relatable — a wake-up call for women caught between independence and intimacy in a world that promised equality but forgot about love.

“If you’re an independent woman and you like to be in control, you don’t want to be swept off your feet. You think not doing it yourself impacts your worth,” Sarah explains.

“Our feminist progression has us steadfast in the need for equality. We wanted to have options; we wanted to show that we were more than the roles cast for us. We wanted liberation from ‘second place’ in the home. But many women are now in a position where we are not only expected to provide, we are no longer looked after.”

“You don’t need to be more perfect. You need to be more you,” Sarah says. “Be wacky, be different, and most importantly, have needs. Psychologically, women need men to be providing for them in some way to feel cared for. The man who wants to be with you, wants to meet your needs!”

Part juicy memoir, part psychological glow-up, “Stop Hating Dating, Start Being You” is for every woman who’s ever cried over a man who couldn’t text back but still liked her Instagram story.

Therapists and wellness experts are already obsessed:

“This book feels like the honest, hilarious conversation I wish I’d had with my best friend at sixteen.” — Katherine Haag, Wellness Consultant & Trauma-Informed Counsellor

“With raw honesty, empowering wisdom and humour, Sarah reminds us that the most important love story we’ll ever live is the one we write for ourselves.” — Georgie Williams, Psychologist

Sarah van Eck dove into the psychology behind why so many women feel “not enough” in love after her life-altering eating disorder diagnosis forced her to stop people-pleasing and corporate grinding.

She blends mindset reframes and psychological research with her own colourful dating history to help others finally date with self-respect.

Author Mont Redmond Explores What GOD Means to Our Minds and Spirits in His New Book ‘Ideas Inspired by the Qur’an’

VICTORIA, British Columbia, July 14, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Writer and independent thinker Mont Redmond is getting ready for controversy with his thought-provoking new book, “Ideas Inspired by the Qur’an” (ISBN-10: 1738842509; Released January 2023). A deeply personal and intellectually engaging work, the book invites readers of all faiths, as well as agnostics and the non-religious, to reflect on enduring spiritual and philosophical questions through the lens of the Qur’an.

Image caption: cover, “Ideas Inspired by the Qur’an” by Mont Redmond.

“Ideas Inspired by the Qur’an” confronts universal concerns: the problem of evil, the rationality of faith, the limits of science, and the nature of reality. Redmond weaves together insights from Plato, Aristotle, Al-Ghazzālī, John Stuart Mill, and others, demonstrating how Qur’anic metaphysics can illuminate debates that have challenged humanity for millennia.

“This book was not meant to be a commentary on a religion,” says Redmond. “I regard it, rather, as a way of overcoming the spiritual, intellectual, and emotional fissures between faith and thought, between a declining Western civilization and an Islamic world-view seen as ever more obsolete, and between the Qur’an and the human heart. The Qur’an not only builds bridges but also urges us to cross them.”

The book speaks to Muslim readers seeking deeper engagement with their faith, to spiritual seekers navigating modernity, and to anyone wrestling with questions of existence and ultimate value. Through a series of candid, challenging, and unexpected reflections, Redmond guides readers to consider their place in the cosmos and their relationship with the Absolute.

In keeping with his mission to encourage open inquiry and the exchange of ideas, Mont Redmond is offering the full book free to read at his website: Ideas Inspired by the Qur’an.

About the Author:

Mont Redmond, a Muslim living in Canada after spending nearly twenty years abroad, presently works as a translator and interpreter. His writing invites readers to reflect on the beliefs we live by, offering a broad and diverse range of subject matter. Aimed at academics, students, believers of all types, and those open to new perspectives, Redmond’s work speaks to anyone seeking inspiration and thoughtful engagement with the deeper issues of faith and modernity.

“Ideas Inspired by the Qur’an” is available now through major online book retailers in Canada, the U.S., and internationally — and free to read online at https://ideas-inspired.blog.

‘Deceit, Corruption, Cover-Up,’ A True Story Written by Michael Leonetti, the Innocent Victim

LAS VEGAS, Nev., July 10, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Michael Leonetti, a well-known entertainer and master chef was wrongfully arrested, convicted and jailed for a crime he did not commit. It took him 12 years in jail to prove his innocence. His book details and exposes all court documents confirming it was a huge cover-up by the courts, lawyers, detectives and a prison warden.

Image caption: Cover, “Deceit, Corruption, Cover-Up,” a true story written by Michael Leonetti.

Based on a true story, Michael Leonetti’s ”Deceit, Corruption, Cover Up” (ISBN: 978-0578619514) is the extraordinary read that clearly outlines his wrongful arrest and conviction and his continuous court appeals for over 12 years in attempt to prove his innocence.

He not only proved his innocence but revealed the deep corruption within the judicial system that included detectives, judges, lawyers including the former O.J. Simpson Las Vegas judge and even a prison warden.

Michael, of Italian descent, was born in South Philadelphia. His grandfather encouraged him to become a musician and his grandmother taught him how to cook. After moving to Las Vegas to pursue his entertainment career he quickly became known as a drummer and singer opening many entertainment doors at a variety of strip hotels.

As a businessman, Michael launched Las Vegas Image Magazine that featured monthly a huge variety of celebrities such as Jerry Lewis and Robert Goulet. He also showcased his talents as renowned master chef and owner of “My Mother’s House.”

In the early 2000’s Michael’s life passed before him as he was convicted and sentenced to 20 years in jail for a crime he did not commit. Michael was framed and the legal documents displayed in his book support his innocence. The named detective that arrested Michael arrested him without cause which ultimately pushed Michael to file a $250,000 lawsuit against the Metro Police Force for false imprisonment.

Shortly after his arrest Michael’s wife of 25 years filed for divorce due to her parents continuously pushing as they disliked her husband.

Being very spiritual, Michael believed God always had a plan for him while all seemed lost and senseless. With God’s direction Michael began during his sentence writing, producing and directing 60 biblical plays with thousands of the most hardened criminals, something that has never been accomplished in the history of a prison system.

The Court of Appeals after 12 years reversed and remanded that Michael Leonetti’s case on actual innocence and ordered the Nevada Federal Court Attorney to put in an addendum petition on actual innocence in April of 2013. All the documents withheld indicated clearly he did not commit the crime. Michael speaks from his heart and his riveting book clearly sets the record straight on his 12 years of incarceration for an offense he did not commit.

New Book Explores Public Support for the Replacement of the Current Income Tax System

Bipartisan support for a new tax system opens the door for tax reform beyond the Big Beautiful Bill

SEATTLE, Wash., July 7, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — It’s been 250 years since the first tax revolution. Media Arts Institute, a Seattle-based media company, has just released a new book, “Tax Revolution 2.0, Let’s Get Rid of the Income Tax” (ISBN: 979-8288643385; paper) by media consultant and researcher Rich Germaine.

Image caption: Cover, “Tax Revolution 2.0” by Rich Germaine, published by Media Arts Institute.

The book examines multiple options for replacing the current income tax system beginning with an overview of the income tax origins. With comparisons to the first Tax Revolution that took place in Boston Harbor on December 16th, 1775, “Tax Revolution 2.0” examines the case against the income tax and how to eliminate it.

Other sources of government revenue are considered like wealth tax, tariffs, land value taxes among others, with a strong case made for complete elimination of the current system that would be replaced by a national consumption tax.

A national consumption tax could eliminate the income tax, payroll taxes, corporate tax, capital gains tax, gift and inheritance taxes. The same amount of money needed for government programs could be raised with other creative solutions including the national consumption tax.

This means that workers would bring home 100% of their income, and the American economy could see an increase in foreign investment in a tax-free business environment.

The author lays out a plan for the transition to a new tax system that could be made smoothly, and how other governments and states that have no income tax are prospering. Presently most of the states already collect sales tax at the retail checkout, so adding a line item would be a simple computer entry.

The author proposes that without an income tax system, there would be no need for the 16th amendment and the IRS. The new system could be administered by a new section of the Treasury Department.

The big hurdle is public support to convince policymakers and congressional leaders that this kind of revolutionary reform is possible. The book includes highlights of a recent national survey among registered voters. The survey, conducted in June 2025 by Quantus Insights and commissioned by the National Tax Research Committee, reveals a bipartisan majority support for the replacement of the current system with a national sales tax while abolishing the IRS.

See the full survey results here: Presentation ( https://drive.google.com/file/d/169hPcrt0VTb53hzrnUICHSV0yKqT5NHW/view ).

For a limited time, a free Kindle download of Tax Revolution 2.0 – Let’s Get Rid of the Income Tax will be available on Amazon between July 11 through July 13, 2025.

New Book ‘Rigged: The Misadventures of a Classic Wooden Sailboat’ Chronicles a Lifetime of Maritime Mishaps and Family Memories

VICTORIA, B.C., July 2, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Tony Cond, a retired Royal Canadian Navy Marine Systems Engineer and lifelong sailor, shares a collection of personal stories in his new book, “Rigged: The Misadventures of a Classic Wooden Sailboat” (ISBN: 978-1779622808), released June 2025 through Tellwell Publishing. The book captures decades of misadventures, quiet triumphs, and family traditions centered around a classic 1947 wooden boat named Rufus.

Image caption: Cover, “Rigged: The Misadventures of a Classic Wooden Sailboat,” by Tony Cond.

Born in southern Ontario and raised on the waters of the Muskoka Lakes, Cond’s lifelong connection to sailing began with summers spent navigating the challenges of boat ownership. “Rigged” follows the often humorous, sometimes frustrating, and always meaningful relationship between a family and their boat — a vessel that would ultimately weave itself into the identity of those who cared for it.

Set in Ontario and British Columbia, “Rigged” speaks to readers beyond the sailing community. It’s a story for anyone who has wrestled with a passion project, weathered its surprises, and found the experience shaped who they are. With a blend of dry humour and thoughtful reflection, Cond invites readers to share in the lessons and laughs of a life spent on — and sometimes under — the water.

Tony Cond lives in Victoria, B.C., with his wife Debbie. When not consulting in the marine sector, he enjoys sailing, restoring classic vehicles, and gardening.

“Rigged: The Misadventures of a Classic Wooden Sailboat” is now available through major online book retailers.

New Book Seeks to Spark Global Movement of Small Business Stewards: ‘Changing the World… Through Small Business Stewardship’ by David Grau Sr.

In this practical and deeply inspiring guide, Grau Sr. challenges small business owners to rethink what it means to lead

LEXINGTON, Ky., July 1, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — In a world captivated by billion-dollar headlines and corporate giants, a new book turns the spotlight to the real engines of economic and social change: small business owners. Bestselling author David Grau Sr., JD, launches his newest and most important work, “Changing the World… Through Small Business Stewardship” (ISBN: 979-8991262996), now available worldwide in paperback and Ebook formats via Amazon and major online distributors.

Image caption: Cover, ”Changing the World… Through Small Business Stewardship” by author David Grau Sr.

In this practical and deeply inspiring guide, Grau Sr. challenges small business owners to rethink what it means to lead – not just with profits and shareholders in mind, but also with purpose. Drawing on decades of experience and featuring more than 30 Stewardship Spotlights from six continents and 20 countries, he shows that stewardship isn’t charity – it’s strategy. And it is time to operationalize it.

“Stewardship is about leading with care and intention,” Grau Sr. says. “It’s about seeing your business as a vehicle for good—in support of one’s employees, community, suppliers, and the planet. Doing good is good business. And that doesn’t mean sacrificing profitability – it means building a business where growth and strength fuel generosity – and stewardship sustains success.”

The book includes actionable tools and stakeholder-by-stakeholder action lists, helping business owners put stewardship into practice—not just principle. From regenerative farms in Canada to global icons like Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, whose decision to donate company ownership for environmental stewardship made global headlines, Grau Sr. illustrates how businesses of any size, anywhere in the world, can lead with integrity.

Early praise calls the book “a timely, actionable, and hopeful manifesto for entrepreneurs who want to build better businesses and a better world.” And, “…one of the most thoughtful, grounded, and inspiring books I’ve read in a long time. This isn’t about religious ideologies, politics, or feel-good slogans – it’s about taking responsibility in practical, everyday ways.”

“This book isn’t just a resource – it’s a rallying cry,” Grau Sr. adds. “The goal isn’t to convince a few thousand readers. It’s to mobilize millions of small business owners around the world to step forward as good stewards—to lead with integrity, to build with care, and to change lives through the way they run their businesses every day, maybe for generations to come.”

To explore featured businesses and join the growing movement of modern-day stewards, readers are invited to visit the Gallery of Good Stewards at: https://www.davidgrausr.com/stewardship-gallery/.

Author Scott Liebler offers help for these stressful times with ‘The Chill Pill Prescription: Turns Stress to Strength’

EVERGREEN, Colo., June 10, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — With the publication of “The Chill Pill Prescription” (IBSN: 978-09982764270), author Scott Liebler synthesizes more than 35 years of successful experience helping people of all ages to better manage their response to stress. His book offers a four-step, martial arts calming technique paired with a three-step processing procedure that, together, transform stress into strength. Interwoven with the instruction is a very personal story from Liebler’s own life, which makes the book a more powerful read than one might expect.

Image caption: Author Scott Liebler with his book: “The Chill Pill: Turns Stress to Strength.”

“The Chill Pill Prescription” outlines the anatomy and physiology of the human stress response. Each process step incudes exercises that help train the body to release tension and tap into the reader’s own reserve of grace, strength, and sensibility.

“When pharmaceutical companies started offering drugs to treat ADHD,” Liebler explains, “I went to my doctor seeking help to manage my racing mind and to develop improved focus.” Instead of prescribing medication, Liebler’s doctor recommended meditation and a movement discipline such as tai chi or yoga. That was the beginning of Liebler’s immersion into an eclectic mix of mind and body disciplines, which he eventually distilled into a relatively simple process.

“The seven steps and various exercises described in my book inspired me to use my experience as a radio announcer, gymnastics instructor, preschool teacher, and children’s entertainer to create a program called ‘Funsical: Fitness for Body, Mind, and Mood,’” the author says. For years, Liebler has worked across the state of Colorado and beyond, teaching the concepts to groups and individuals, from preschoolers to seniors, and people representing the full range of physical and mental abilities.

Now, these proven techniques are available to anyone through his book: “The Chill Pill Prescription: Turns Stress to Strength.” Stress abounds in these times—whether it’s caused by life changes, divisive politics, contentious relationships, economic pressures, crowded traffic, competing deadlines, or a difficult boss. Liebler’s book offers practical help for those who want to respond to stress in a calm and productive manner.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR, SCOTT LIEBLER:

Scott Liebler and his unique educational programs are based in Evergreen, Colo. His personal history of ADHD and his doctor’s advice led him to explore a wide variety of mental and physical disciplines. His diagnosis and subsequent deep dive into mind and body disciplines—along with his experience as a radio announcer, gymnastics instructor, preschool teacher, and children’s entertainer—led him to create educational programs under the name, “Funsical: Fitness for Body, Mind, and Mood.” For decades, these programs have helped people of all ages and abilities to improve their physical and mental health.

Ally Walker, Star of ‘Sons of Anarchy,’ Debuts New Metaphysical Thriller ‘The Light Runner’

LOS ANGELES, Calif., June 6, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Red Rabbit Press LLC. presents “The Light Runner” (ISBN: 978-1966981060). Ally Walker has captivated audiences with unforgettable roles—from June Stahl in “Sons of Anarchy” to Dr. Sam Waters in “Profiler.” Her versatility has made her a standout presence in film and television, with memorable performances in “Universal Soldier” and “While You Were Sleeping.” After recent appearances in ‘Ghosted, Longmire, and Colony,” Walker now brings her storytelling prowess to the page with her debut novel, “The Light Runner.”

With “The Light Runner,” Walker delivers a metaphysical thriller that bends reality, unravels secrets, and challenges perception.

At Bainbridge Psychiatric Hospital, the lines between truth and illusion are dangerously thin. Dr. Ella Kramer, a psychiatrist haunted by her own past, is assigned to Captain Oliver Haskell, a decorated war hero whose fractured mind may hold the key to solving his wife’s brutal murder. As she delves deeper into his unraveling psyche, she begins to uncover disturbing patterns among the other patients—patterns that suggest Bainbridge is far more than it seems.

Walker’s cinematic storytelling shines through in the novel, earning praise from her peers. Actress Sarah Wayne Callies, “The Walking Dead,” called it “propulsive, thoughtful, incisive—a thriller that stands out in a crowded field.”

A masterful weaving of past and present, actor Tim DeKay “Oppenheimer” described it as “a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the prisons we build for ourselves, both within and without.”

Katey Sagal “Sons of Anarchy, Married with Children.” praised the novel’s immersive storytelling, saying, “The imagery is vivid and other-worldly, and the storytelling makes it impossible to put down. The characters are unique and compelling, making the whole ride fun.”

Walker’s ability to create cinematic storytelling is a standout feature of “The Light Runner.” Robert Davi (Profiler, Die Hard) emphasizes her deep understanding of character and narrative, declaring, “Ally Walker has planted her flag in the crime genre… vivid storytelling, pacing, and character development—true cinematic storytelling.”

Beyond the unraveling mystery, “The Light Runner” bridges psychological suspense with metaphysical intrigue. Christine Lahti (Chicago Hope) calls it “a fantastical page-turner… a thriller that bridges two worlds and begs the question—how will you fight to keep your humanity?”

Walker crafts a thriller that grips, unsettles, and refuses to let go.

‘This Is Me!’ – A heartfelt debut novel exploring identity, love, and acceptance in a small Australian town, just in time for Pride Month

COOMBS, Australian Capital Territory, Australia, May 27, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Released in the lead-up to Pride Month this June, “This Is Me!” (ISBN: 978-1779628541) Book One in the “Finding Ourselves” series by debut author Aspen Thomas, is a moving and timely novel that delves into self-discovery, authenticity, and resilience in the face of societal pressure.

Image caption: “This Is Me!” by Aspen Thomas.

Published by Tellwell Publishing, “This Is Me!” follows Luke Corbett, a young man returning to his conservative hometown of Gamarra after years living in Canberra. Struggling to reconcile who he is with where he comes from, Luke faces the challenge of living openly in a place that may not be ready to accept him. When a long-lost childhood friend resurfaces, old feelings reawaken and Luke must choose between staying silent or embracing his truth.

Part coming-of-age, part quiet revolution, “This Is Me!” captures the tension of living authentically in a world that often demands conformity. With lyrical prose and vivid character development, Aspen Thomas offers a tender portrayal of love, identity, and courage, deeply rooted in the rural Australian experience.

“I wanted to tell a story that felt real. Growing up gay, autistic, and with ADHD in a small town shaped the way I see the world and how I write. Luke’s story is fictional, but the feelings, the fears, the moments of joy, they’re very much my own,” said Thomas.

As Pride Month approaches, “This Is Me!” is a timely reminder of the importance of visibility and diverse storytelling. In Australia, nearly 10% of young adults aged 16 to 24 identify as LGBTQ+, reflecting a growing demand for authentic, inclusive stories that reflect real lives. With LGBTQ+ romance literature experiencing a global surge in readership, up more than 700% over five years, “This Is Me!” stands proudly among a new wave of powerful queer voices shaping contemporary fiction.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

ASPEN THOMAS is a science and mathematics educator, avid tennis player, and lifelong storyteller. Raised in the small Riverina town of Goolgowi and now based in Coombs, ACT, Aspen draws inspiration from his rural roots, his experiences as a neurodivergent individual, and his passion for honest, human stories. This Is Me! marks his literary debut and the beginning of the Finding Ourselves series. Learn more: https://aspenthomas-writes.com/

From the Navy to Nature: Australian Veteran Transforms Trauma into Poetry in ‘Feathers and Flame’

AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY, May 20, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Just in time for Mental Health Awareness Month, Australian veteran and debut poet Kathryn Carlisle unveils “Feathers and Flame: Poetry of Australian Landscapes and Personal Transformation” (ISBN: 978-0228811718), a moving new collection that explores emotional healing through the lens of wildlife, wilderness, and personal growth.

Image caption: “Feathers and Flame” by debut poet Kathryn Carlisle.

After nearly 39 years of service in the Royal Australian Navy and Royal Australian Air Force, Carlisle turned to poetry as a form of creative recovery. Her words draw strength from the quiet rhythms of the natural world, offering insight into the unseen struggles many veterans face and the hope found in reconnecting with nature.

“Watching birds interact, walking bush trails, being still in nature. These simple moments brought me home to myself,” says Carlisle. “Through writing, I learned to breathe again.”

Each poem in “Feathers and Flame” offers a moment of stillness. A breath of wild air. From desert plains to coastal skies, Carlisle’s reflections highlight the quiet power of presence, the wisdom of the natural world, and the journey from sorrow to self-discovery.

The book was born from Carlisle’s healing process, including her participation in the Australian Defence Force’s ARRTS Program, which supports veterans’ recovery through art, writing, and music. Her military background lends her work emotional depth, while her lifelong love of the Australian landscape roots the collection in authenticity and awe.

Available now via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indigo, and other major booksellers.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Having lived in multiple states across Australia during her childhood—sometimes in a double-decker bus or caravan—she developed a deep connection to the land early on. Today, she finds inspiration in the Goorooyarroo Nature Reserve, where the landscape continues to guide her healing and creativity.

From the Streets of Redfern to the Stage: Steven Murphy’s Explosive Memoir ‘Pyjama Boy’ Returns to Shake and Inspire a New Generation

BRISBANE, Queensland, Australia, May 14, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — He was the child no one wanted, the boy in crumpled pyjamas roaming the streets while the world looked away. Now, Steven Murphy’s gripping memoir “Pyjama Boy” (ISBN: 978-1779626011) is back, updated, unfiltered, and more relevant than ever. This is not just a comeback. It’s a wake-up call.

Image caption: “Pyjama Boy” by Steven Murphy.

Born into chaos, abandoned at just weeks old, and raised by a violent, alcoholic stepmother while his father sat behind bars, Steven became a ghost in his own childhood. Dubbed “the Pyjama Boy” by locals in Redfern, he lived through what many wouldn’t survive. His story is not one of polished triumph. It’s one of raw truth, brutal setbacks, and extraordinary determination.

First released nearly 20 years ago, “Pyjama Boy” is being reintroduced to a modern audience with new reflections and deeply personal updates. It’s a timely reminder that trauma doesn’t define you, but how you respond to it can. From neglected child to police officer and nationally sought-after speaker, Steven Murphy’s life defies the odds.

“People think resilience is about strength. But for me, it was about refusing to stay invisible,” says Murphy. “I didn’t write this book to impress anyone. I wrote it so no child like I was ever feels alone again.”

More than just a memoir, “Pyjama Boy” is a mirror for those navigating their own darkness. Gritty, unvarnished, and profoundly moving, it’s a story for every person who has ever been told they weren’t enough and dared to prove otherwise.

Steven now shares his journey at schools, youth centers, and events across Australia, using real photos, documents, and raw honesty to connect deeply with his audiences. His talks are not motivational fluff. They are confrontational, courageous, and unforgettable.

The book delves into the complexities of self-discovery, healing, and finding clarity amid life’s struggles.

Image caption: Cover, “The Unknown Truth,” by Libby Hall.

In “The Unknown Truth,” Libby examines her own experiences to address universal themes of mental health, resilience, and hope. The narrative follows her as she pieces together the “missing jigsaw pieces” of her life, navigating family history, childhood beliefs, misdiagnoses, and ultimately finding the support that changed her life.

“Sometimes you think you’re okay, or you desperately want to believe it, but something is missing,” said Libby. “My book is about finding the courage to take the first step toward healing and discovering that there are answers to the questions we carry.”

A JOURNEY OF SELF-DISCOVERY AND HEALING

Through “The Unknown Truth,” readers follow Libby’s deeply personal path as she uncovers the root causes of her struggles and develops strategies for self-compassion and resilience. She shares the importance of addressing generational influences, the power of forgiveness, and the role of professional support in achieving lasting wellness. Along the way, she candidly reveals her mother’s horrific experiences with Chelmsford sleep therapy, emphasizes the importance of receiving an accurate diagnosis, and reflects on how redefining her understanding of mental health helped guide her healing journey.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Libby Hall is not a clinician but an everyday person who faced mental health challenges early in life. Her journey of self-healing and transformation is both relatable and inspiring. Libby wrote “The Unknown Truth” to offer hope and reassurance to others navigating their own mental health journeys.

“If one person can achieve the sense of personal pride and growth in their own lives, and how that affects their whole life, then this book has been worth the effort,” Libby added.

“The Unknown Truth” is available at major online retailers.

LOS ANGELES, Calif., May 7, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — In a raw revelation of maternal mental health struggles rarely discussed openly, wellness coach Emily Wright Mitchell has released “Better Than Before: How Overcoming Depression and Obesity Led To One Mom’s Wellness Transformation” (ISBN: 978-1964377841 [ebook]; 978-1964377834 [paperback]; Legacy Launch Pad Publishing).

This unflinching memoir exposes the terrifying reality of severe postpartum depression that left Mitchell contemplating abandoning her family – and reveals the unexpected path that transformed her darkest moment into a complete physical and psychological rebirth.

“I can’t do this anymore,” Mitchell confessed to her husband at 3 a.m. while caring for her infant, as she details in the book. “I’ve got to get some help.” This breaking point – when she was having thoughts of leaving her baby behind – became the catalyst for an 80-pound weight loss journey and complete mental health revolution that would change everything.

The book emerged from Mitchell’s shocking realization that her lifelong destructive relationship with food – swinging between starvation diets and binge eating – had primed her body for hormonal catastrophe during pregnancy. The memoir details how years of disordered eating, beginning with diet pills and laxatives as a teenager, created the perfect storm for postpartum depression that nearly destroyed her family.

Each chapter exposes disturbing realities about women’s health that are rarely discussed, from how diet culture creates psychological trauma to the dangerous medical neglect many new mothers face. Mitchell reveals how doctors missed crucial warning signs and offered inadequate solutions while she struggled with increasingly dark thoughts.

“When my depression became too consuming, I thought that I must have done something to cause it,” Mitchell writes. “I didn’t know that paranoia is something real, and that it hinders your ability to think clearly or even do basic problem-solving for yourself.”

“Better Than Before” is available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other major online booksellers.
