LIVING LIFE IN PURGATORY

About LIVING LIFE IN PURGATORY

Step into the dark and tumultuous world of transgender individuals in Iran, as told through the poignant memoirs of Dr. Cohanzad. With a humane and intimate sensitivity, he shares the gripping stories of his patients – a father who murders his own child, a rape survivor who becomes a successful news anchor, a glamorous fashion model, and a high-powered executive all struggling with Gender Dysphoria. But most astonishing of all is the tangled tale of two transgenders who find love and marriage, while navigating the confusion and stigma of their identities. Amidst it all, a Mafia-like figure rises to power and a love story unfolds. This book captures the mystic dualism of good and evil, light and darkness, love and hate, peace and war in the lives of these individuals. For fans of powerful memoirs, this is a must-read.

A Small Gray Dot by P.B. Cannon

A Small Gray Dot by P.B. Cannon

Could the fate of the world hinge on the actions of an ex-middle school English teacher?

Tennessee Murray, out of college for three years, has realized his ambition to teach and his dream of publishing a book, and is preparing to marry the love of his life. Things can only get better, right?

He thinks so. That is, he does until one June morning he steps out of his apartment and into an unexpected and unusual fog, and finds himself in a waking nightmare. Something has happened that is sudden, deadly, and inexplicable. It causes baffling, technological outages that make no sense, but worse of all, it brings death to billions. It touches everyone in one way or another and throws the world into utter chaos.

Life becomes a struggle, but it limps on, and unable to teach anymore, Tennessee finds something else he has a knack for: tracking, and seven years after what has become known simply as The Event, he sets out to find a missing young woman in a dystopian world that’s slowly sliding into the sewer. Like everyone else, he carefully sublimates the thing that changed everything, and keeps his mind strictly on the task at hand, so that’s all he’s trying to do.

But, he’s thrown a curve when he inadvertently stumbles across the cause of the event that brought the world to its knees, and is yanked relentlessly into the understanding that things are about to get a whole lot worse.

Can Tennessee, and a ragtag crew he has assembled, stop the total annihilation that’s bearing down on the world?

Lost In Prosperity by Judy Hannigan

About Lost In Prosperity by Judy Hannigan

She has everything she’s longed for…

Raised by the proprietress of an elegant gaming salon and a former gunman, beautiful and spirited heiress, Sam Hilliard Stone, owns a gambling parlor in Prosperity, Wyoming Territory. Defying social convention, she also has a partnership in the Trinity Ranch, where she openly lives “in sin” with Jackson Knight, the man of her dreams.

After Sam loses her memory in a suspicious stagecoach accident, she’s drawn to Jackson’s beguiling kisses almost as much as she is to his tender compassion. But because she’s a woman who needs to understand why she feels things, she questions whether it’s true love or seductive desire swaying her senses.

He could lose her love…

Handsome and enigmatic Jackson Knight loves Sam with all his heart. But when she loses her memories of him and their shared passion, he fears he’ll lose the only woman he could ever love. Compounding his fear is the discovery an unknown enemy is trying to kill Sam.

Banding with family and friends, Jackson will do anything to keep Sam in his arms and safe from a deranged villain’s obsession.

Together, the power of their love could fulfill the promise of the future…

As Sam and Jackson struggle to pick up the pieces of their lives and uncover the reasons why events from their pasts are converging to destroy their chance of attaining love and happiness, they learn the past isn’t nearly as important as the future they build together.

LOST IN PROSPERITY blends romance with suspenseful mystery to tell the compelling story of a woman who longs to trust her heart to a man she can’t remember and a man who refuses to lose the love of the woman who completes him.

Life Behind Bars Vol. 1 by Julian Starks

About Featured Book: Life Behind Bars Vol. 1 by Julian Starks

“Our Mission is the Animals”
Julian Starks 2018

“My dream, thus mission in life is to travel the world and photograph beautiful, vibrant animals in all places and circumstances, free and confined.”
Julian Starks – 2018

I am a Los Angeles based Photographer, Filmmaker and Animal Activist writing on behalf of VISIONS OF THE WORLD Inc., my 501(c)(3) Non-Profit company. Our first project was “LIFE Behind Bars” Vol. 1, my first Fine Art Photography book. The book was titled after the photographic series that I started in order to honor the beauty of animals in captivity, and to support the many individuals and organizations that have dedicated themselves to caring for and protecting these magnificent beasts.

I began my journey of photographing these amazing animals at TIPPI HEDREN’S SHAMBALA PRESERVE. I fell in love with the animals and the work that Tippi is doing there. This has truly been my inspiration! So much so, that Henson, Shambala’s Regal Male Lion, graces the front cover of this book. The book consist of 12 other Zoos, Preserves and Sanctuaries, as well.

I created Visions of the World Inc., to help support wild animal sanctuaries and institutions like those featured in this book. A percentage of all proceeds from the book; photos and all other ancillary products will go to the sanctuaries and institutions featured within these pages.

Next project…Visions of the World Inc. presents…
“LIFE Behind Bars…Except if You’re Free” VOL. 2 which will focus on the conservation efforts of the Gorillas and Big African Cats in their natural habitat – Africa!

We are dedicating this second book in this series of books to DIAN FOSSEY, whose work regarding the conservation of the Mountain Gorilla’s has been an inspiration for our project.

Secondly, we are also covering the big African cats, which are among the most charismatic species in the world. However, despite their iconic status the public is neither fully aware of their endangered status nor understands the difficulties encountered by those who want to preserve these magnificent animals in their local environment.

The first goal of this project is to present the safaris in Rwanda (Gorillas) & Kenya and Tanzania (Big Cats) as models of species protection and conservation. The second goal of this undertaking is to create an emotional connection through pictures between people and the animals. The third goal is the ultimate comparison book of Animals in captivity! vs. Animals in the Wild! Gorillas and Big Cats!

Finally, we intend to document on film all the animals in the safaris, zoos and sanctuaries as well as Julian Starks’s experience in photographing them. We intend to use these images for a TV/Web Docu-series.

Through this project we intend to give a voice to the voiceless and to stay true to our mission statement, which is to raise awareness, change perceptions, educate and support those who need representation.
Thank you and stay safe.

Live Long, Prosper & Peace to all!

Sincerely,

Julian Starks – Founder/CEO/Photographer

The Dark Trilogy by Chris Armstrong

About The Dark Trilogy by Chris Armstrong

A book that follows one man’s life might be an autobiography, but what is a book that traces the lives of two men?
The autobiographical fiction which makes up the longest book of the trilogy holds two histories of one man displaced by several hundred years, histories that interweave and come together in the Welsh mountains in the present day. And a part of one of those lives is traced further in the play for voices which makes up the second book. Book three brings our characters to a resolution of kinds.
Chris Armstrong has blended fact and fiction to create a complex story with many strands… a story of the sea, a story of passionate love, a story about a writer and a poet, a story about his friend and editor, and a story about the past: a past that the writer only understands completely at the very end of his anabasis – his journey away from the sea.

Broken Places: A Sacred Journey of Repair by R.J. De Rossi

Broken Places: A Sacred Journey of Repair by R.J. De Rossi

May the sacred cuts of life deepen you.

May your broken places serve.

“For most of us, forgiveness is a long-haul healing process. It’s not cheap and easy. And it ain’t for softies. It’s a toe-to-toe heavyweight boxing match with a seemingly impenetrable opponent. It’s brutal blows and endless rounds. Hits that land us face down on the mat. Like everyone, I’ve taken hits. I almost didn’t get back up.”

-from the Prelude

Like all human beings, you have encountered many pitfalls in your life’s journey.

Some may seem so deep that you think you can’t make your way out of them—but you can, every single time.

Forgiveness is the way out.

Loss. Betrayal. Violence. Injustice.

Eventually, everything breaks.

Part memoir, part exploration of the world’s great wisdom traditions, Broken Places is about living beyond the cracks. It traces the turbulent process of forgiveness from first strike to repair, reconciliation, and, ultimately, renewal. Healing is a hero’s journey.

De Rossi’s candid narrative is a road map for anyone who has fallen prey to emotional devastation, who now struggles to get back up, find balance, and live without regrets. In every moment, there is a choice: inner peace or inner turmoil. With genuine insight, a new story emerges—a crucible for growth. Our resurrections become flickers of hope for others lost in the darkness.

Forgiveness is the bridge to transformation. To happiness. And to each other.

Off Season by Clive Fleury

Detective Ramesh Ryan’s career with Sydney’s prestigious Organized Crime Unit is on the up, until he loses a court case against the city’s most powerful drug dealer. In disgrace, the detective is relocated to the tiny Australian beach town of Barton.

It is off season in Barton—when its few criminals usually take a well-earned rest. But not this year! With the detective’s arrival, the town suddenly becomes murder central. Two bodies are discovered in the space of days, both victims of drug overdoses. Then a mysterious foot is found washed up on the beach, and memories are awoken of an unsolved cold case of the teenager who disappeared fifteen years ago. Add to this a blossoming romance, along with a contract taken out on Ryan’s life, and it’s clear that the detective has jumped out of the Sydney frying pan into the Barton fire.
What follows is an action-packed adventure, thrilling at every turn—where truth and lies are almost impossible to separate, and unexpected twists are the order of the day.
