‘Circumcision Scar’ is a New Memoir Revealing How the World’s Oldest Religious Sacrifice Became a Dubious Medical Mandate

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- "Circumcision Scar" (ISBN: 978-1734555806), an unflinching memoir by Jay J. Jackson, details his lifelong struggle with recurring nightmares that he ultimately realized were repressed memories of his neonatal circumcision. In his 20s, doctors branded Jackson immoral and perverse for suggesting circumcision caused his erectile dysfunction and refused to offer treatment.

Jackson states, "Those doctors didn't chase me out of their office spitting venom because they cared about my health. They did it because I exposed blatant malpractice in violating their oath to do no harm. It's illegal to operate on healthy flesh to cure a malady that doesn't exist."

Jackson underwent two experimental surgeries to restore his foreskin, hoping it would cure the erectile dysfunction his circumcision caused, only to be abandoned by hospital nurses who refused to care for him because they didn't approve of what he'd done.

Jackson explains, "Hospitals are where foreskins go to die, and to have mine surgically restored was considered obscene by these unprofessional hypocrites. I felt raped by a religion I wanted nothing to do with and needed to reclaim ownership of my own body. I've been with my husband 30 years, and he never knew what I'd done until he read my book."

Jackson equates circumcision as a human rights violation and outright sexual abuse. "The doctor credited with making circumcision mainstream in America was obsessed with circumcising women too. He believed circumcision would cure mental illness, blamed a patient's foreskin for his brain tumor, and said circumcision was a humane alternative to castration in curing black men of their predisposition to be rapists."

Jackson believes readers of his book will refuse to hear the facts. "Men are oblivious to the fact that their penis was cosmetically altered at birth, and doctors are trained to uphold that lie. Seventy percent of medical books intentionally omit foreskins, and doctors are willfully forcing their religion onto a nation of free people."

Jackson's book debunks the alleged health benefits of circumcision and states comparing it to a vaccine for HIV/AIDS is delusional. "They used that exact argument for circumcision and syphilis a hundred years ago, but the statistics don't hold up. Foreskins aren't the plague. They're a natural part of the male anatomy."

Jay J. Jackson lives in Los Angeles and hopes his story will inspire parents to protect children over protecting religion. "No parent wants to believe they've harmed their child for no reason, but that's the lie these doctors have forced upon us. Every child has the right to be who they were born to be."

"Circumcision Scar - My 35 Year Foreskin Restoration, Neonatal Circumcision Memories, and How Christian American Doctors Hijacked Holy Circumcision to Dupe a Nation" is available in hardcover and Ebook on September 8, 2020.

Inspirational New Book ‘Prodigious Son: A Memoir of Miracles’ Reveals Remarkable Life of An Urban Shaman, Ralph Matson

CHICAGO, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- First time author Ralph Matson shares, in his own words, remarkable stories of healing, recovery and enlightenment in, "Prodigious Son: A Memoir of Miracles" (ISBN: 978-1098308872). Matson's journey leads us into the famous Woodstock festival, down drug alleys, and over mountain ashrams on a never-ending quest for higher consciousness as he struggles with his inner demons and angels.

Growing up in severe poverty Matson battled the unjustified hatred of a tyrannical father leaving him with a negative self-image. Paradoxically he associated throughout his life with remarkable and affirmative people such as, Ram Dass, Timothy Leary, Rammurti S. Mishra, and Swami Rama. Even in his depictions of heartbreak or cruelty, Matson generously renders a world-and a philosophy-of devotion, kindness, and perseverance that is the underlying thread of his life story. His many brushes with death, including accidents, tumors, overdoses and heart failure only confirmed his spiritual beliefs and demonstrated the miraculous power of healing.

On the way to the emergency room, struck down with severe heart failure, his nephew John pleaded with him to write his memoir, telling him "you cannot die until you have told your story." From that plea this book was born with a front cover designed to depict the power of light and love we all hold in the palm of our hands. "If my book can help one person find hope or awakening in the middle of despair," said Matson, "then I will feel I have been blessed with another miracle before I leave this world."

Rock Center Financial Partners publishes the book, ‘Mergers & Acquisitions: Crushing It as a Corporate Buyer in the Middle Market’

ROCKVILLE CENTRE, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Rock Center Financial Partners, LLC announced today that they have recently published a book, "Mergers & Acquisitions: Crushing It as a Corporate Buyer in the Middle Market" (ISBN: 978-1735052205) aimed at helping companies improve their ability to execute successful mergers and acquisitions ("M&A").

The book explains in detail how deals are structured, negotiated, and valued. And, it provides a framework that corporate buyers in particular can use to execute their own successful M&A deals.

The book primarily focuses on helping corporate buyers. Why? Because apparently there are many studies that say M&A deals tend to fail a majority of the time for corporate buyers. But, if that's the case, then why do so many companies keep doing deals year after year? And, does anyone do them right?

Actually, a lot of people do them right. But if you believe the statistics, there seem to be a lot more people doing them wrong. The question is, how can buyers do deals the right way, so that they don't become another statistic? This book answers that question.

Buyers who have the right mindset to approaching their deals, and a process that involves the right people with the right skills, are much more likely to have success in M&A. With that being said, this book contains practical real-world advice that has been applied in actual deals, and it provides the framework, best practices, and technical skills that are so important for executing successful M&A deals.

The book was written by Kevin Tomossonie who is a Co-Founder at Rock Center Financial Partners, LLC. Kevin has spent the majority of his career specializing in M&A and has been involved as both an executive and consultant in well over 150 transactions.

Details about this book, including a free preview, and links for where to buy it, can be found at: https://rockcenterfinancial.com/book/

Expat Entrepreneur Jewel Daniels Delivers a Blueprint to Thrive in a Post Global Pandemic World in New Book

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Most people currently face the pressing concern of how to move the needle from crisis to success during a global pandemic. The answer. You write a groundbreaking Amazon bestseller titled "Three Sides of Every Crisis: Strategies to Sustain Business, Manage Your Career and Take Care of You" (ISBN: 978-0974999173) by Jewel Daniels that offers a roadmap on how to pivot during an international economic tsunami. Then, you do just that.

From the US to Jamaica, and many places in between, Author Jewel Daniels has gone from success to success. Her timely and valuable book hit Amazon's bestseller's list in less than two months finding space amongst the ranking of best practices to manage in the midst of tough economic conditions.

There's no getting around the fact that this global pandemic has disrupted most industries and many businesses," said Jewel Daniels about her new book. "Three Sides of Every Crisis" will help readers understand how to maneuver through rough days and take control of an unforeseen future. This could be the most valuable book many read this year. Its contents are relevant, direct, and actionable."

Jewel is a passionate and engaging leadership expert, author, and speaker who has built a business with a global client list. Getting her start in her beloved hometown of Brooklyn, Jewel has proven herself an avatar of the expat entrepreneur, with her travel-work adventures taking her from the US, to Asia where she studied international relations in South Korea, and now Montego Bay, Jamaica. The Caribbean island is her home of seven years where she has expanded her leadership development company and took to penning "Three Sides of Every Crisis", her fourth book ripe with strategies for entrepreneurs and business professionals.

The book challenges readers to adjust their perspective and push past obstacles to find opportunities which the author said often goes undiscovered until the pressures of a crisis cause an eruption of hidden talent and creativity to rise to the surface. Employees who are facing an uncertain future due to job separation will find solutions that liberate them from employer's decisions or business forecasts.

"Three Sides of Every Crisis" takes a deep dive into proven methods and key strategies for businesses to reposition and succeed in what Jewel calls the next "new normal." She lifts her practical knowledge and marries it with incredibly researched and documented experiences of industry titans and growing organizations that create a blueprint for best practices to survive and thrive.

The client feedback for Jewel's book has been extremely passionate.

Richard Kerr, software developer, Caribbean Producers Jamaica Limited, recently said, "There are persons who are today managers and supervisors who had no idea this could happen to them. Thanks to Daniels Communications we have harnessed the power of critical thinking and effective communication to solve the challenges posed in this new normal. We were led and now we lead."

The company has become the example of how to pivot by building an on-line platform of Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) certified webinars called Kick the Crisis that reflect the principles in her book.

"These are incredibly challenging times where people need tangible resources and answers from experts," Jewel said. "This approach provides just that plus credit backed by the world's leading HR organization."

Jewel is also the CEO of Daniels Communications which delivers acclaimed, diverse services aimed at helping organizations perform better, while developing the leadership skills of their team.

New Book, ‘Tenacity’ is a Story of Courage and Resilience in the Face of Adversities

FORT MYERS, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Veena Sharma is an Indo-Fijian author, who has released her memoir "Tenacity" (ISBN: 978-1643883861). It is a story of risk, courage, and determination. Ultimately, it's a story of the human spirit's triumph over fear. Born into poverty, uprooted from her homeland, forced to marry a stranger, subjected to physical and emotional abuse.

Veena Sharma's spirit demanded that she risk the emotional pain of ostracism and realize her right to determine the colors of her own story.

It is her story of embracing risk and change and learning to dance with them. Beginning with a painting of life in Fiji that cradles readers so softly that they wish that they had been born there, readers then accompany her on an adventure to Canada as her family relocates. There is no way to grasp her family's insistence she marry a stranger. Her parents, victims of cultural conformity, insist that she stay with him regardless of the physical and mental abuse he inflicts. Veena's choices inspire readers to deny fear it's power and to embrace change so they can become the authors of their own stories.

"From my perspective, every experience and every person we meet serves a purpose in our life, either good or bad. Your experience in life, including mistakes, struggles, and failures, doesn't have to define who you are, but instead, it can indeed lead you to discover your true self," says author Veena Sharma.

Veena Sharma is an overcomer who currently lives in Ft Myers, Florida. In this debut memoir, she shares her life journey, struggles, accomplishments, determination, and perseverance. Veena wishes to inspire, motivate, and encourage people and to evoke higher frequencies of hope.

She hopes her book will heal and transform others who are tired of living with woes or on plateau. Veena's greatest satisfaction is living life making a difference.

In her memoir, she talks in detail about her childhood in a remote place in Fiji Islands, her adulthood in Vancouver, Canada, her struggles and her accomplishments. The book also contains golden nuggets as an inspirational message for the readers at the end of each chapter.

Veena Sharma was born in a very remote place in Fiji Islands called Dawasamu. She lived there in her early years and moved to Vancouver, BC Canada at age 16 with her family. Veena lived in Vancouver until age 39 and moved to USA after getting her BSN degree from University of Victoria, Victoria BC Canada. Veena's passion for advancement in life gave her opportunity to live in California, Virginia, Illinois and brought her to her final destination, Ft Myers, Florida.

Veena completed her Master's Degree in Nursing in 2009 from Walden University. Currently Veena works as an oncology nurse navigator. Veena's passion for creative writing began when she took many English courses while she was attending her nursing program. She excelled in all her English classes. One of Veena's goal in life is to empower, inspire and motivate others.

Her first book, "Tenacity: Penciling the Journey and Inking the Destiny" is a memoir of a woman's courage and resilience in the face of adversities. Veena takes her readers on the journey from Fiji to her final destination Florida. She talks about her struggles, sacrifices, accomplishment and hopes that it will help readers who are in plateau and need help to overcome some of the barriers in their life.

Atlanta Businessman Reveals Success Secrets in Debut Book

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Atlanta businessman, personal coach and author, Khigh Shotwell, founder of Puppetless World, has revealed the formula for his success in his debut book, "The Game is to be Sold, Not Told" (ISBN: 978-1734711400).

"The Game is to be Sold, Not Told" is a dynamic resource that teaches the art of programming as it relates to the human mind alongside valuable tools and techniques that one can utilize to take control of his/her life. But that's not all. The guiding principles shared by the author offers a glimpse into the spiritual world and how to harness the power of the mind to create the life desired.

Shotwell is a true testament to the authenticity of his philosophy that one can achieve anything with the right mindset. He went from being a child raised in a good environment to becoming a thug who was imprisoned for multiple felony convictions. His life took a turn for the better when he began to understand the power of the mindset coupled with good work ethics.

Today, Shotwell is the proud owner of a fragrance company called 6th Scents Work and the Founder of Puppetless World - a spiritual entity focused on the spiritual development for the purposes of influencing the physical reality. He is also an avid traveler who takes several international and domestic vacations every year with his family.

"The Game is to be Sold, Not Told" is Shotwell's debut book; however, the clarity, authority and depth of his writing gives no indication to his experience.

"I want to show how the human Mindset has been influenced and programmed by the hierarchy (Puppet Masters) to think and behave in certain ways," says Shotwell. "I wanted to show that with the proper understanding of how the mind works as it relates to its environment and universe that most people can create the reality that they want to live in."

In a pre-release of the book, one reader said: "There are many books that discuss the Law of Attraction but not many take the perspective of breaking it down and showing how it relates to people of color. This book is comprehensive, and readers will be inspired by the guiding principles to improve their lives."

The concepts introduced in Shotwell's book are easy to understand and will resonate with the Average Joe dreaming of success but limited by his present circumstances and resources.

"The Game is to be Sold, Not Told" is available in paperback format for a retail price of $20.

Poetry Reawakens Soul, Something Desperately Needed in Our Uncertain Times

LAKESIDE, Mont. /ScoopCloud/ -- Eight One 818 Publishing announces a new book release, "Reimagining In 2020: Poems: First Reflections" (ISBN: 978-1733941235) by Laura Keller-Wolff. Response to a world pandemic comes in many forms. Sheltering in place, one poet finds deeper vision facing the urgencies of radical change.

"Reimagining In 2020" is author Laura Keller-Wolff's second book in a series on the theme of reimagining, here she challenges readers to reach for the poetics of heart and soul in times of extreme instability. These times push us to the edge of every sense perception, where steps toward a new world are inches away. Yet, we need to create a bridge from volatility to the new sources of depth, symbolism and non-literal footholds to carry our world beyond. That bridge is poetry: A sister to art, a brother to peaceful co-existence. We find a deeper, broader lens through poetry, the opportunity to reimagine with 2020 vision.

"The place for the poetic arts is now-more than ever before," Keller-Wolff says. "Poetry provides a timeless connection to our humanness, as reflected in lines from The Doorman - a poem honoring one of New York City's first COVID-19 victims: "Some people ripen this way, / so full of the earth and the life / that make all of us real, / with work that does like the seed, / carrying the sweetness of character - / hands waiting even before you arrive."

Poetry meets landscape where Keller-Wolff makes her home, in the Rocky Mountains of Montana. She is the founder and director of Spiralation, Inc., managing The Mural-Poetry Project-which united youth and elders, generating 14 murals featuring local history, art and poetry, and the Dream-Well Project-generating poetry and art from dream analysis.

New Book – Beating the Enemy: How Vitamin D Could Help Fight COVID-19

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- New cutting-edge self-help book, "How Vitamin D Could Help Fight COVID-19" (ISBN: 978-1716882661) just released by Shirley Amy BSC, offers readers a clear understanding of why getting enough vitamin D is so crucial during this pandemic.

Shirley highlights the recent research that shows that individuals with severe vitamin D deficiency, are twice as inclined to suffer major COVID-19 complications; and that vitamin D not only strengthens our immunity, it can protect us against acute respiratory infections.

In her book, which is geared to address the vitamin D deficiency in the US, Europe, and other parts of the world, Amy highlights recent research which indicates that vitamin D not only boosts our innate immune system (the first part of our body to detect invaders such as viruses, parasites, bacteria and toxins), but also prevents our immune system from becoming dangerously hyperactive (going haywire and creating a cytokine storm).

Amy notes that: "This means that, as some researchers state, if we have healthy vitamin D levels, we may be protected from having serious complications, or dying from COVID-19. Just upping our D to the recommended level, is very easy for everyone who has a deficiency, and it doesn't cost a dime to get some sun every day, as wearing a sunblock, which is recommended, still lets a small amount of UVB rays in."

She adds, "Moreover, we can put some vitamin D foods (including vitamin D enriched foods) in our cart; and if necessary, take a supplement (subject to any contra-indications to medication, and certain diseases, etc.), and having a doctor's approval. And very importantly, we should ensure that we do not take more than the recommended daily allowance."

"An estimated 1 billion people worldwide, across all ethnicities and age groups, have a vitamin D deficiency" [1] NIH - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK532266/.

Based on the latest science from top US institutions, including Harvard Medical School, Harvard Nutrition Source, and Yale Medicine, this short, easy-to-understand, 5 chapter book, is geared to show readers how they and their families and loved ones, can up their Vitamin D intake to the recommended level, via the sun, food, and/or a supplement.

About the Author

Shirley Amy BSC is a well-known English Holistic Health Guru & the author of four other books. These include the highly successful method: "The Winning Way to Quit Smoking," which includes de-stressing holistic supports such as aromatherapy and American-made Quit Tea, which help people resist the urge to light up. Shirley has been instrumental in helping people quit smoking during the pandemic, as robust evidence, such as that published in the journal, Lancet Respiratory Medicine (May 2020), implies that several mechanisms could raise the chance of smokers contracting respiratory tract infections.

Pyramid Press Announces ‘And What is Hell’ – A True Story of Christian Faith and Freedom Exposing the Dark Secrets at Patton State Mental Hospital

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- "And What is Hell - A True Story: Exposing The Dark Secrets Of 'The Insane Asylum'" was released today in its second printing (ISBN: 978-0989901765). This compelling true story is all about religious freedom and Christian faith.

"I did not know it was hell until that first night! A place of cruel torture, of starvation, of murder, of flagrant injustice, of hatred, of despair, of envy." -- As told by Sara Ramsey and written by Dorothy Ramsey.

Sara and James, who with all their hungry souls sought the truth and understanding of God's Words, (as evidenced by her poetry throughout the book), were apprehended on December 18, 1912, judged and committed without a trial or defense for being impoverished street preachers and for living together while not being legally married by the laws of man.

They were sent to Patton State Hospital, then known as "The Insane Asylum," in San Bernardino County, California. At the time qualifying afflictions included: religious excitement, spiritualism, worry, overwork, love affairs, seduction, alcoholism, drug and tobacco abuse, privation, politics, asthma, desertion by husband, grief, change of life and old age.

Whether sent by a judge or family member, the poor unfortunates institutionalized lost every freedom and were deprived of human rights and dignity. The horrors were indelibly impressed in Sara's mind. She felt if she told her story it could save others from anguish and torment.

This story is important because people are important. How we treat the young, the elderly, weak, vulnerable, mentally ill or physically ill, the poor and homeless is ultimately a true reflection of our society.

"And What Is Hell" tells a true story of Christian street preachers of 1920's Los Angeles and is a chilling and compelling story of deep faith. The reader follows the absolute horror experienced by Sara and James Ramsey who were locked up at Patton Street Mental Hospital in San Bernardino, California because of how they expressed their Christian faith.

The abuse, mental and physical cruelty and the degradation experienced is accounted in great detail and is completely factual.

"And What is Hell" is written by Dorothy Ramsey, who was the daughter in law of Sara and James Ramsey. The author gathered suitcases of extemporaneous notes, reviewed diaries and conducted extensive interviews in order to write this true account.

This project took over 50 years to write and produce. It was Dorothy Ramsey's final wish in her life to get this true story of this Christian struggle published. Her hope was this remarkable story of faith displayed by Sara and John Ramsey would inspire others to grow their faith and learn of the power of Jesus Christ.

Dorothy Ramsey's long-time life goal started to come to fruition at the age of 93 when She asked her oldest Grandson, a noted academic scholar and author, Dr. Michael Miller to help her. Together they organized the book from thousands of loose pages tucked away in an old Suitcase. Dr. Miller also painstakingly Edited the book. They worked on this project for two years, and finally at the age of 95, the book was published by Pyramid Press.

"And What is Hell" - ISBN: 978-0989901765 - has a retail price of $29.95 and is published by Pyramid Press http://pyramidpress.net/ and can be purchased directly on the publisher's website.

"It's hard to put down and with each page turned the reader is more and more drawn into the remarkable terror of being locked in an insane asylum simply for having different religious beliefs," said Rev. Ray Baker.

"This book illustrates how society discriminates agonist Christian's and those of faith. This is also a story of redemption and the power of deep Faith while actually living in a true Hell on earth," said Right Reverend Richard Wardell.

Light Hustle Publishes Book on Franchising by First Time Author Tim Conn

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Light Hustle Publishing, the imprint helmed by New York Times bestselling author Anna David, has released its first business book: "No New Ideas: Everything You Need to Know About Starting a Successful Franchise" (ISBN: 978-1733853231), a step-by-step guide to franchising written by Certified Franchise Expert (CFE) Tim Conn.

Conn started his first small business at the age of 14, cleaning a small office building that his parents owned. He operated Tidy Tim's Cleaning Service from 1985-2001 before launching into the wild world of franchises.

In 2011, he and his partner Mike Schuchman founded Image One, a franchised cleaning service company that has revolutionized the industry.

Using his knowledge of nearly two decades in the franchise industry, Conn offers a frank, step-by-step guide to finding the franchise that meets people's interests, skills, and resources. The book also guides potential franchisees through how to make a franchise succeed.

Designed for those who want to start their own business, be self-employed, or do their own thing, "No New Ideas: Everything You Need to Know About Starting a Successful Franchise" is the go-to book for anyone working on, interested in, or thinking about starting a franchise.

"Honestly, I was initially reticent to publish a book about franchising," David admits. "What, I wondered, would be the story we'd tell?" After talking to Conn, David realized that together they could create a book that was just as much about Conn's journey as it was about the practical aspects of franchising.

In the end, the results surprised David. "I found myself wondering if I'd make a good franchise owner," she says. "I realized it could be just as creative as publishing."

"No New Ideas: Everything You Need to Know About Starting a Successful Franchise" can be found on Amazon and at franchising expos around the world.

New Book Provides Professional and Personal Advice for Business-Minded Couples

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- A new book authored by Lionell Leaf, "Quality Time 101 Basic Journal: LEDGER" (ISBN: 978-1944385958), is the companion book to "Quality Time 101 Basic Journal: Amorous Amour Coupling Innuendos" (ISBN: 978-1944385668) and is designed to inspire couples to try new things: to act on ideas and to work together to develop something great.

Leaf, also known as L.A.M.E. 1 (Love and Making Expert) has created a new type of roadmap meant to make people think about what could be instead of what could have been.

Great ideas happen all the time, but how often is there real follow through? Most ideas never actually materialize. Having a thought is one thing, but bringing and producing it for market is another. "Quality Time 101 Basic Journal: LEDGER" inspires couples to act rather than let their ideas languish. It shares forms, ledgers and other important business resources to help couples get organized and to protect their business rights.

Its companion book, "Quality Time 101 Basic Journal: Amorous Amour Coupling Innuendos" helps couples to get closer on a more personal level which serves to help them plot and plan for future fortune.

These books not only address business wealth, but love wealth too. They're intended to change the way couples think when it comes to business and love.

"Couples will never think about amorous foreplay the same way - whether in or out of the bedroom," Leaf says. "These books will help them to achieve things they never thought possible. For example, that business idea could develop into a substantial piece of change and that could lead to a host of adventures that only serve to deepen the relationship at hand."

Leaf lays down some basic ground rules that serve to set the stage. For example, he suggests that couples should open a joint business account - but advises that the investments need to be equal. Unparalleled equity and equality for both.

"Savvy business-minded couples will benefit from these books in more ways than one," Leaf says.

Dr. Lauren Goodall (PsyD) Debunks Stereotypes About Bipolar Disorder in Her New Book ‘Bipolar is not an STD’

CHICAGO, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- Dr. Lauren Goodall (PsyD), debunks stereotypes about Bipolar disorder in her new book "Bipolar is not an STD" (ISBN: 978-1543975581). Dr. Goodall designed the book around the idea that people can get better much faster, if they know how to recognize what symptoms look like. "People are trying to recognize stereotypes, instead of symptoms, and that doesn't work."

In further conversation with Dr. Goodall, she named her book specifically to stop unnecessary stigma behind the diagnosis of Bipolar. In her translation of the title- "Too many people hear the word Bipolar and attach misperceptions that aren't warranted. I've spent a full career working with these people. Bipolar, if anything, can be confusing to detect, and people who have Bipolar, current research says that they get wrongly diagnosed 69% of the time, out of the gate. This number is way too high, and people can't afford years off their life, getting bad diagnosis, because of confusing symptoms with other diagnosis".

Goodall states, "I've always believed that if you can get the symptoms understood, and educate people, there doesn't have to be a log jam of years of endless therapy, and wrong medications. In this day and age, where mental health is making the headlines, because of improper diagnosis early on; and missing very essential details. Bad information and wrong classifications cost us generations."

Dr. Goodall was excited also to announce that she will be taking her new book, "Bipolar IS Not An STD" on the road in a lecture component directly to the people.

Her tour will include Chicago, Ann Arbor, San Diego, Phoenix, New York, and Miami. Dates of cities TBA.

"Bipolar is not an STD," is currently released and available in softcover thru her website, https://drlaurengoodall.com/.

Book in traditional print and E-book are available thru Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major book retailers. Dr. Goodall is available for interview by contacting her via the above website.

New Book, ‘WWI Crusaders’ About Band of Yanks Saving Millions from Starvation Garners National Recognition

DENVER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- The new nonfiction book, "WWI Crusaders: A band of Yanks in German-occupied Belgium help save millions from starvation as civilians resist the harsh German rule" (ISBN: 978-0990689386), is one of only 100 self-published books named to the prestigious Kirkus Reviews Best Books of 2018. Authored by Jeffrey B. Miller and published by Milbrown Press, it was released on Veterans Day 2018 to honor the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.

Kirkus produces 10,000 book reviews, annually, and only about 750 receive a starred review. The starred review for "WWI Crusaders," reads: "A tour-de-force history...gripping historical narrative...A magnum opus that celebrates the qualities of compassion, honor, and humanitarian virtue."

Miller knows that his book has significantly beaten publishing odds. "Most new print books die an anonymous death," he says. "That's not surprising when reportedly nearly one million new print books are released every year."

According to Bowker, a company that issues ISBN book identifiers, more than 600,000 new print books are self-published in America each year, while more than 300,000 new print books are released by traditional U.S. book publishers.

"WWI Crusaders" tells the long-forgotten, but true story of one of the largest food relief efforts the world has ever seen and represents one of America's finest hours in humanitarian aid. During WWI, the American-led, nongovernmental Commission for Relief in Belgium (CRB) worked with its Belgian counterpart, the Comité National (CN), to feed everyday nearly 10 million Belgians and northern French who were trapped behind German lines.

It was a feat thought to be impossible - private citizens of a neutral country feeding an entire nation caught in the middle of a world war. The challenges were immense, from logistical obstacles and international intrigues to internal conflicts between the CRB and CN. But, in the end, the CRB and CN expended nearly 1 billion U.S. dollars (nearly 24 billion today) to save these lives. Conversely, the war took the lives of nearly 10 million soldiers.

The CRB's work also helped change the way the world saw America and how Americans saw their nation's humanitarian role on the world stage.

"WWI Crusaders" is a nonfiction narrative history written for general readers. It follows the leader of the CRB, a handful of CRB "delegates," a 22-year-old Belgian woman, two U.S. diplomats, and the leaders of the Belgian underground newspaper "La Libre Belgique."

The book is available in print ($24.95) and eBook ($9.99) from bookstores, Amazon.com, Ingram and direct from the publisher.

New Book, ‘CONFESSIONS OF 400 MEN: True Revelations of Lust, Fidelity, Feelings and Fantasy’

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. /ScoopCloud/ -- Author Heidi Doheny Jay will debut her new book, "Confessions of 400 Men: True Revelations of Lust, Fidelity, Feelings & Fantasy" (ISBN: 978-1543925968) at Philly Art Collective: 253 N. 3rd Street Philadelphia, PA 19106 on Thursday, November 15, 2018 from 6-9 p.m. Press engagement is open from 5-6 p.m. Members of the press will receive a free copy of the book.

For "Confessions of 400 Men," Ms. Doheny Jay spent two and half years interviewing men from all ages and walks of life asking them to divulge their innermost secrets about the women they've loved. She pulled back the curtain on the untold side of the relationship story- his side.

She heard everything - lifelong secrets, funny snafus, lovers that got away and the real reason men long for intimacy. She discovered how common it is for men to feel lonely and what actually drives them to be unfaithful. She learned why men work so hard at their careers and not so much, seemingly, at their personal relationships.

"We miss the girlfriend we married," said Chris, a 59 year old married Caucasian professor from Delaware.

"Men like to fix things, that's how we show you that we care. Women need to pay more attention to this," said Trent, a 46 year old single African American social worker from Maine.

"The guy who actually wants to be in a relationship is worried that the perfect woman will come along and he won't be ready," said Steve, a 48 year old divorced African American transportation owner from the Midwest.

At a time when men are thought to be coldhearted and at best ruthless creatures, "Confessions of 400 Men" reveals their hidden side.

"This book exposes the side of men that's not talked about or shown to the world. When men feel safe and believe they won't be judged, they'll allow themselves to be seen by others, but few are ever given that opportunity," says Doheny Jay.

The author hopes to inspire men to feel more comfortable discussing their feelings and to help women better understand why men act the way they do.

"I set out to understand men better. I had originally intended to write a small eBook and interview about 25 men, but I quickly discovered that when you merely listen to men without judgment or criticism, they'll share everything with you," Doheny Jay adds.

"Men wanted to talk, so I kept listening -- but after 400 interviews I knew I had more than enough to convince the world that men need to be heard just as much as women do. I truly hope to shift the paradigm and allow men the same luxury women have had for years, to freely express their feelings."
