Before and After Abortion: Explore Your Feelings | by Edward ("Ted") Pohlman, Ph.D. Pohlman May 09, 2012 | $8.99 | 36925 words | Sample 15% |
| Author bio: About the Author Dr. Edward ("Ted") Pohlman Clergyman; Psychologist; Musician; Professor; Father; Husband; Counselor; Counselor Educator….these are some of the roles "Dr. Ted"brings as background for writing this book. He was a Professor of Psychology at a California university, the University of the Pacific, for 30 years. For the last two decades of that time, he taught Human Sexuality: large courses for Freshmen and Sophomores, and small seminar courses for counselors preparing to qualify for California’s Marriage, Family and Child Counseling credential. Religious beliefs are often very important to sexuality. Ted's parents were missionaries in India, where he was born and spent the first dozen years of his life. His first language was not English, but Urdhu, closely related to Hindi, Punjabi and Pakistani. Ted became a clergyman in Ohio after a seminary education that included studies in Bible Greek and Bible Hebrew. "Reverend Ted" conducts many Sunday services each year. "Dr. Ted" has been a staff psychologist in a V. A. psychiatric hospital, a pastoral counselor, and a counselor educator in "his" university. Over the years he has done a great deal of counseling, including counseling on sex-related matters, with students, faculty families, and others. Ted married a young lady from Intercourse, Pennsylvania, and they have two grown children, Sharon and Douglas. The American Psychological Association (APA) gave Ted an honor held by fewer than 10 per cent of APA members at the time. This was given "In recognition of outstanding and unusual services to the Science and Profession of Psychology." Since retiring, for 22 years Ted has "worked" about 5 months a year on cruise ships. At various times his official job has been lecturer; ballroom dance class teacher; dance host for unaccompanied ladies; paid pianist; paid marimba player; clergyman. No matter what the official job on that particular cruise, he always volunteers to conduct Sunday worship services if needed, and to play all the piano the Cruise Director (the boss) wants, in the central atriums or anywhere else aboard. Ted has worked on four "world cruises" of 3 or 4 months each; on the last one his official job was the ship chaplain, and he also played piano and trombone, lectured, taught ballroom dancing, and gave individual psychological counseling to guests who wished it. In 2011, the 400th anniversary year for the "King James" Bible, his cruise "work" took him to Australia, New Zealand, Russia, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Estonia, France, the UK, New Caledonia and Vanuatu (the former New Hebrides). Hey, adding a later post script: late 2011 found him visiting Canada; Venice; Trieste; Gibraltar; Madeira, Bermuda and the Bahamas. Ted has a Masters degree in Theology. And he has a Masters and Ph. D. in Psychology from Ohio State University in Columbus. He has published twenty other books (two with Westminster Press, the official publisher for the Presbyterian Church in the U. S.). For two years he was a consultant in residence on population matters to the Government of India; and he played that same role for two summers in Geneva for the World Health Organization, WHO. He has established his own publishing company, Planet Ethics Press. E-mail him at Teddyman999@aol.com |

The daughter of a professional musician, she arrived in Wichita and began her journey with a song in her heart and a plethora of passion erupting from her pen. This love of lyrics, prose and poetry was just the simple seed of what would grow into a wordsmith's obsession with the creation of multifarious characters and storylines that fork with dual plot lines into romance and intrigue. Oklahoma, Arkansas and Colorado are just a few locales that surface in Baeli's novels as these places are ones she drank in from her time in University, to retreating for self exploration. Each place is rich in bucolic terrain and provided grand palettes for her mysteries and suspenseful romances. Townies and their coveted colloquialisms provided divine fodder for tales too real to be true. There is nothing like experience to craft a character. Baeli has plenty to spare—from a stint in the military to late nights spent delivering newspapers, waiting tables, or as a technical writer for a corporate jet company. Each job was a necessity, but one that Baeli turned into a study in the human condition or sometimes inhumane conditions. Some of Baeli's fondest endeavors were fronting an all female band for seven years in Little Rock and her enjoyable time as a managing editor for a women's press. In recent years, Baeli has pursued technology with a dedicated passion. Website building, blogging and creating and maintaining online forums have shared the docket with her ever-present story crafting.

| Author bio: Jude Bijou is a licensed marriage and family therapist (MFT), an educator in Santa Barbara, CA, and the author of multi-awarding winning, Attitude Reconstruction: A Blueprint for Building a Better Life (Riviera Press, November 2011). As the daughter of a renowned pioneer in the field of behavioral child psychology and applied behavior analysis, Jude’s upbringing sounds like it would be pretty cool. There was just one problem: she was miserable. Earning a BA in psychology from Reed College and a master’s in psychology from Carleton University, she became a marriage and family therapist. Success was attained, yet something was still missing. Looking eastward, she immersed herself in the world of meditation and Vedic philosophy. The result: an integrated, truly holistic approach to viewing ourselves and our relationships with others. Her multi award-winning system, Attitude Reconstruction was birthed into the world. In 1982, Jude launched a private psychotherapy practice and started working with individuals, couples, and groups. She also began teaching communication courses through Santa Barbara City College Adult Education. Word spread about the success of Attitude Reconstruction, and it wasn’t long before Jude became a sought-after workshop and seminar leader, teaching her approach to organizations and groups. The culmination of Jude’s groundbreaking work can now be found in Attitude Reconstruction: A Blueprint for Building a Better Life. These simple principles have impacted countless clients, seminar participants, and students. And Jude promises this: if we can learn to harness the tools we’re intrinsically born with, creating a life full of joy, love, and peace is truly possible, right here, right now. |

On the Way: Growth and Transcendence of Personal Consciousness | by John K. Landre April 10, 2012 | $4.99 | 72130 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: John Landré is a retired businessman. During the first half of his career he designed optical devices. The past twenty five years he spent researching growth in consciousness. Mr. Landré holds a master’s degree in physics. He started a medical instrument company in 1974. After several years at the helm of this company, he discovered that for him the most meaningful part of running a business is to help facilitate the growth of his coworkers. So he looked into what personal growth is and how it differs from person to person. From Brian P. Hall he learned how to objectively measure what it is that different people consider meaningful and how this interacts with growth in consciousness. He then applied Hall’s methods in the work place to create a work environment conducive to personal growth. After selling his company in 1986 Mr. Landré inquired further how growth in consciousness takes place, both in theory and in practice. Specifically for transcendental growth in consciousness he learned much from spiritual masters such as Merrell-Wolff, Wilber, Cohen, Shankara, Sri Ramana, Sri Nisargadatta, Sri Aurobindo, Balsekar, and Liquorman. A discipline of regular meditation has resulted in numerous transcendental experiences that confirm the teachings of these masters. The author lives with his wife Drizz in Woodside, California. |
