17th Century Plays Back in Style

October 18th, 2011

Las vegas, NV- Oct 17,2011 – After her satirical humor introduction with The Thinking Man, Paralysis by Analysis, indie author Nadina Boun is about to reveal another side to her writing.

A short one act play inspired by the works of 17th and 18th centuries French authors, Le Duc is based in France though written in English, about a certain duke and the mishap that befalls him upon first reading this humorous play.

Le Duc is written in a combination of modern and old English style, touching on subjects such as honor, love, betrayal and fairness. The characters’ names are in French and so is the setting of this beautiful play, but author Nadina Boun says “it is about the mere fact of introducing foreign elements into what already exists to make it different in a good way.”

Le Duc is scheduled to be out in print through Amazon towards the end of October 2011, as well as in most e-book formats through different channels.

Spiritual Youth Informed and Inspired by Author Bobby A Boudreau

June 10th, 2011

WILMINGTON, NC – JUNE 10, 2011 – Young people are spiritual beings. Author Bobby A Boudreau understands that, and seeks to inform and inspire with his two books, “Inspirational Stories For Spiritual Youth” and “Messages for Mankind.”

“Inspirational Stories for Spiritual Youth” (AuthorHouse, 2010, ISBN 978-1449081058) is a collection of spiritual tales that encourage youth to view life through a spiritual lens in order to find hope and purpose. Focusing on youth who receive help from angels, spiritual masters and guides, the book’s short stories reveal the continual, life-affirming presence of God in youthful lives. Giving hope and encouragement to young people, the book promotes faith and provokes deep thought about the purpose of life.

“Messages For Mankind” (AuthorHouse, 2010, ISBN 978-1452017808) is a collection of seven poems, seven being God’s number and used frequently in the book of Revelations. Photographed backgrounds were created by the author to match and enhance the text of each poem. Boudreau wrote “Treasures Of Life” and “Daydream” at the age of 20. This book is meant to bring Peace, Hope, Love, Harmony and Enlightenment to mankind.

Raised in a small New England town, Bobby A Boudreau’s spiritual journey began around the age of seven with a spirit presence and haunting activities that occurred in the home where he was raised in. During his youth, which included Sunday school, his scientific mind sought out truth, knowledge, and wisdom. He was drawn toward the existence of a universal spirit, a divine being…God, the creator. His desire for the proof of the existence of God was satisfied with his first spiritual insight and revelation at the age of eight. His life’s journey has been very challenging and unique in it’s own way. Being a survivor, and open to God, Boudreau’s spiritual experiences have included a journey beyond the veil. Through his books, Boudreau offers the world beautifully composed Inspirational/Spiritual/Devotional photographic poetry to touch the spirit and spread Peace, Hope and Love to the world.

Free Online Medical Dictionary

December 21st, 2010

Free Online Medical Dictionary

Either you are a medical student, an intern, a physicist or you simply want to learn more medical terms and what they stand for, an online free medical dictionary is a blessing. Even for the specialized doctors, some words from the medical terminology are hard to remember and if you plan on using them, you need to search somewhere first.

For example, when facing a patient with a certain illness, you should know exactly how to address to him, and his family and friends. The dictionary will help you find out the exact meaning of the condition, and thus you will be able to form a general opinion on the matter and report back to the patient and relatives, dodging any awkward moments.

For a medical student, some sort of dictionary or medical glossary may not seem important, at least not in the first years. But when they begin practice, and they have to go to hospital training and make rounds with residents, they really need to keep up. Because it seems a long time ago, residents forget that med students do not fully understand and know all the medical terminology for diverse conditions, and this is why a website of such sort will help any student overcome some embarrassing moments.

Come to think of it, a medical dictionary that comprises all the possible word, notions and terminology would definitely weigh a ton, and it would be impossible to carry around. As for an electronic format of a medical glossary, your result is just at the distance of a mouse click. All you have to do is type in the name of the disease or the key words to the condition, and the program will automatically generate a list of results.

What is more, this online dictionary not only offers definitions and extensive details on the researched subject, but it also generates related topics and similar conditions. This way, if you search for an illness, and based on the symptoms that appear there, your patient does not apply to all of them, you can go further and search in the list of related sicknesses.

All in all, no matter what career you have chosen, but especially if the choice was medicine, the free online dictionary is essential to increase efficiency in treating patients or yourself, and to save more time, as you do not have to browse in books’ glossaries for keywords.

Lucid Dream During Coma Possible, Claims St. Louis Author

September 9th, 2010

Coma Story, a novel based on Diego Garcia depopulation, explores the link between dreams and creative problem solving.

St. Louis, MO, September 02, 2010 – Bringing together lucid dream concept and creative problem solving, at first, sounds illogical. Lucid dreaming has been researched scientifically, and its existence is well established. However, the power of the subconscious during coma is impossible to determine. Coma Story, ( http://www.ComaStory.com ) a novel by Dr. Stephen Thompson, attempts to take its readers exactly to that dimension of alternate reality.
The novel centers on the Chagossians, who were forcibly relocated by British, to make way for a military base. The narrator, a coma survivor, along with Diego Garcia native, conspires to gain back the British-controlled islands without violence. The narrator’s fascinating coma journey, and challenging the superpowers, explores the link between conscious dreaming and creative problem solving. Coma Story welcomes readers into a remarkable double-life, and guides through a mind-opening voyage.

Coma Story is available at Amazon.com (ISBN: 978-1453696774). More details can be found at http://www.ComaStory.com.

About the Author:
Stephen Manoj Thompson, Ph,D., is an award wining, Indian-born American author, with a special interest in school dropout issues. He has a doctorate in Management Information Systems. Before moving to St. Louis, he lived in Singapore. Stephen came to public attention in 2008 for his acclaimed Land of Opportunity Forever. By his own account, Stephen Thompson is an accidental social writer. His first book was named a finalist for the Independent Booksellers Book of the Year Award. Thompson’s Coma Story, ( http://www.ComaStory.com ) which centers on the forced displacement of Chagos natives, integrates coma with lucid dreaming to set the tone for a clever read.

Mystic Grits: A Southern Girl’s Journey to Wisdom by Darelyn DJ Mitsch

Mystic Grits: A Southern Girl’s Journey to Wisdom
Darelyn DJ Mitsch

Pyramis Press (June 19, 2009)
978-0615300870

Mystic Grits by Darelyn DJ Mitsch is a book about a southern girl’s life journey as her spirituality and consciousness evolve. The book, equal parts autobiography and metaphysical nonfiction, is many things: inspiring, humorous, and amazing.

Precious Darelyn Darr (as she was born) was set on her path of discovery from an early age. Confusion about her early bible teachings led her to ask many questions about religion; and although she found peace in her prayers and dreams, she found she got the best answers from her grandmother, Maw Maw. A healer and mystic, Maw Maw was a constant comfort and teacher for DJ, guiding her in life and from beyond.

As DJ’s life journey progressed, she experienced phenomena that fuelled her desire to investigate the spiritual realm and her mystical longings. Aware that relaying her experiences might scare people or cause them to think she was an “airhead” or cause her to become an outcast, she nevertheless found people to whom she gravitated (and who were in turn drawn to her) that she could share her experiences with. Her relationship with her friend, Sharon, is heart wrenching and inspiring and shows the depth of DJ’s loving and accepting spirit, giving us the example that joy and peace can be found in times of loss and grief. It is through relationships with her friends, family, partners, co-workers, and herself that she learns to trust her intuition and really listen to what the universe is telling her.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and felt as though DJ was sitting with me, having a conversation. Her wry, self-deprecating style is as engaging and refreshing as it is moving and evocative. It is also courageous in its honest and open depiction of that which we cannot see, but which many people instinctively feel – that is, that spirits and heavenly guides are working around and through us. The frequent journal entries and her reflections on the events effectively – and in many cases, humorously – illustrate her personal evolution and acceptance of circumstances. Early in the book, I decided to mark pages that particularly resonated with me, but soon found that I’d be marking almost every page. This book made me think about not easily explained experiences in my own life in a new way. I came away with a resolve to truly live the moments of my life and to hear what the universe is telling me. Highly Recommended.

Book Review: The Haunting of Andrew Sharpai by Jerome Peterson

June 10th, 2010

The Haunting of Andrew Sharpai
Jerome Peterson
Eloquent Books (February 21, 2010)
978-1608607976


The Haunting of Andrew Sharpai by Jerome Peterson is a wonderfully weird tale of self discovery, love, and survival. Witches and Wicca, spells and spirits, and an extraordinary mystical Raven are all there for the taking in this compelling paranormal thriller.

After another failed romance, Andrew Sharpai has found a new home in Las Vegas and work as a cook in a high-end casino, where he meets a beautiful dancer named LaRae DuFont. The biggest show dancer in Vegas, LaRae introduces Andrew to the world of A-list celebrities, parties, and a fast-lane lifestyle in the media spotlight. The opposites fall in love and LaRae tells Andrew the story of how Mary Magdalene mistook Jesus for a gardener. Despite Andrew’s atheist ideal, he takes to the lesson that not everything is how it seems. As they plan their wedding, tragedy separates the pair, forcing Andrew into his gin; and he soon drifts from Vegas to Pocatello, Idaho.

His money gone, he takes a low-paying cook job and meets Iris Finkle, who is rumored to be a satanic witch. Andrew is more intrigued by her bold personality when she makes no effort to hide horrible facial scars. Iris is at first skeptical of Andrew’s intentions, but despite her aloofness the two become close. It isn’t long before the rumor of witchcraft is proved true when on an early date Andrew meets Iris’ ex-husband, Devon. Despite the strangeness of her lifestyle and religion, Andrew learns to love again—his flowers: Iris and her eight-year-old daughter, Lily.

Soon the four are living as an unlikely family unit along with a cat and a scene stealing raven, Elijah Corbeau. Devon returns and wastes no time in making his intentions known—he wants Lily. Iris refuses and Devon castes a frightening powerful spell on the new family. Not even Elijah can protect them from horrible nightmares and the evil presence of the curse. Iris tries every trick she knows to counter Devon while Andrew contemplates a return to his old ways of running from it all.

Jerome Peterson has crafted an extremely entertaining novel. The characters are well developed, especially the hero/drifter Andrew, and the strong, mysterious yet vulnerable Iris. The quirky and intelligent Lily adds a humorous touch without the precociousness so often seen in young fictitious characters. The Haunting of Andrew Sharpai cast a spell on me—I couldn’t stop reading until I knew how it turned out. Suspense, a fast pace, plot twists, romance, wacky animals, and family bonds make this one of the best books I’ve read in 2010. If you enjoy a great paranormal thriller, The Haunting of Andrew Sharpai is a must read!

Highly recommended by William Potter for Reader’s Choice Book Reviews
