From over two decades of coaching singers, Valerie Morehouse has witnessed the power of a song. At its best, music elevates the listener and the artist above the mess of daily life, connecting us through our common life experiences. A song has the power to lift us from despair, or show us the darkest corners of our emotions. Music opens hearts and minds, reminding us of our humanity, as well as our personal truths. There is nothing in the world more powerful than frequency, and each voice carries its own unique signature. It is the privilege and task of the singer to dig deep, find their authentic voice, then share it with the world, or simply enjoy its gifts behind closed doors, if only for personal pleasure.Finding your voice, however, does not come easy. You must do the work in order to create the feeling of effortlessness in your singing. A lot of singers skip, or minimize this essential step, because it's not as much fun as writing a song or being in the recording studio. It is the commitment to vocal technique and training that gives you the stamina for a long career, allowing you to explore your range and then share your songs as you write and sing them.What if hitting those difficult high notes could be made easy? What if you could experience vocal health no matter the rigors of a demanding schedule? What if you were no longer limited by yourvoice in your own song-writing? Sounds like a dream, right? Well, it's a dream that can be turned into reality, and your journey begins by standing on the shoulders of some of the giants of the music industry, who faced the very same vocal challenges as you.Valerie believes everyone's voice is unique and needs personalized exercises and guidance. However, after over two decades of vocal coaching, she feels it is her responsibility to share her knowledge beyond the walls of her studio. Rather than overwhelming you with chapters full of the exercises she uses with her clients, Val has decided to first share some of their stories, in addition to her own experiences throughout her career to date, taking you behind the scenes and on to the front lines, giving you first-hand accounts of what it's like to be a singer in today's global entertainment industry.

The purpose of this Mental Health For Millennials Series is to encourage us all to read current material on various themes related to millennial life that is grounded in experience, with a backdrop in theory, written in a style that is fully accessible, interesting and genuinely meaningful to the daily experiences of us all. This is book five of our series with two more books scheduled to follow (2017-2023). We included the guest chapters in this book because we all believe the theme of resilience, in the context of millennials, deserves greater attention.With the global pandemic of COVID-19, we have all been forced to look into ourselves, to draw from our resiliency (the theme of this book) and to reimagine how and why we engage as we do with the world and our communities. This is as true for millennials as for any other demographic.Our aspiration is that these books will facilitate readers to understand in a little more detail, the dynamics of millennial life as it is experienced, through providing frameworks for conceptualization and practice.This series is designed to be useful for: 1) the individual looking to enhance his/her knowledge about millennials and mental health and wellness 2) the interested professional who does not want to read purely theoretical material.

A D'Arcy Blake Adventure, A Case for the Tech Detectives is the first book from Journalist and TV Producer Seán Dunne published with Galway based Book Hub Publishing.The book focuses on teenage detective D'Arcy Blake who has recently moved home from Boston in the United States to Salthill, Galway Ireland. Having struggled to fit in at school in America, D'Arcy sets out to make sure his new life in the West of Ireland is different. And it is!A strong bond with his grandmother Nancy, ensures D'Arcy has a firm grounding in his new local community. D'Arcy is a strong willed teenager and alongside his friends, Marc and Claire and new girl in town, Fatima, D'Arcy and his crew set out to solve a mystery at the local abandoned mansion, Wakefield Manor.The Manor leads the teenage detective on a dangerous course when they encounter TJ Wakefield, and a daring mission unfolds for the friends.Commenting on writing his first book Seán said: "Like most people I have always wanted to write my own book but finding the time and setting your mind to it always seemed to get in the way until the Covid-19 pandemic hit and we were all forced to stay home. The idea for D'Arcy was born in the early days of the pandemic and the adventure for the book began. It has been an interesting journey for me to write a book as I spent a long time working as a news reporter for newspapers in Ireland. It's a totally different experience to write a book and one I hope to repeat."Friendship, diversity and inclusion are the themes Seán hopes younger readers will take from reading his book and provide them with the same enjoyment that the likes of the Famous Five gave him as a child.

This is a children's book with a difference! We are thrilled to share the first book in this series. Our hope is that its message will touch the hearts of our adult LGBTQ friends who never had the chance to read about a child that looked or felt like they did. For our younger readers, we want to offer a broader perspective, a new dialogue and a better understanding of what the real world, and ALL of its people, actually looks like. Throughout this series, we will strive to support our young readers as they grow into caring, compassionate and loving individuals, who put kindness and inclusion above all. This is our contribution to the change we want to be and see in the world. On a beautiful Spring day in May of 2019, I was with my family at DeLeon Springs in Volusia County, Florida, celebrating my mother's ninetieth birthday. The Sugar Mill restaurant has been a favorite spot of mine since I was a child. It sits on the edge of the gorgeous springs where, just a few miles away, I saw my very first manatee when I was three years old. I was in awe of this curious creature and nearly fifty years later, those same magical waters inspired the setting for a book I had been wanting to write for quite some time.My nephew, Max, a graphic artist living in NYC, was also eating 'make your own' pancakes with us that morning, around the griddles situated in the center of the restaurant's tables. As we poured the batter and made shapes and faces that we then garnished with blueberries, strawberries and all sorts of delicious toppings, I told Max that I really wanted to write a series of books for pre-teens that broke through the stereotypical gender identity roles typically found in children's literature. I shared with him that I wanted to create stories in which every child could find themselves. I had a rough idea of how the first story would unfold, but on that day, while eating pancakes and looking out at the magical springs, Hugh and the Manatee was born. I didn't have to say another word. Max fully supported my dream and its mission and agreed to help me bring Hugh to life.Our heartfelt thanks to Book Hub Publishing for their immediate and unwavering support for this project.With Love For ALL,Mary Helen, Max, Hugh and the Manatee

From Stormy Seas To Calmer Waters: A Story Of Autism, Loss And Spiritual Growth documents the arduous journey of ├üine & Gerry Crosse whose family must navigate the unscripted world of Autism and Mitochondrial disease. It is their goal to shed light on a struggle rarely seen from the outside, to end the stigma that parents of autistic children often face, to answer questions to which there are so few answers, and to offer hope to the parents of Autistic children who find themselves with none. Told in the deeply-insightful and clear-cutting voices of ├üine & Gerry, their story covers the aspirations, the expectations, the gruelling trials and the testing failures of parenting with chronically ill children. And yet, in the face of adversity, there is also a theme of hope and a wealth of knowledge earned and shared as a testament to their strength and resilience.With the birth of ├üine & Gerry''s first child, their world was irrevocably changed by a series of diagnoses that would challenge everything they imagined of parenthood. In a world unfit for children,  of endless tests, of hospital wards and spinal injections, where talk of death and complications becomes both real and ordinary, where fear becomes the language of each day, ├üine & Gerry found in themselves the will and the courage to not only survive but thrive against the odds. Faced with the prospect that their children might not survive, it became their prerogative to re-define parenting, to fight back against tirades of bleak news and bottomless grief, to answer questions that no parent should ever have to consider, and to navigate a path into darkness with hope and grounded optimism. In the face of such hopeless circumstance, the story of All That We Never See shines through with a combination of ├üine''s inspirational resolve and Gerry''s unshakable strength and support; offering a glimpse into faith and depression, grief and tragedy, and into a roadmap littered with wisdom, and coloured with shades of extraordinary commitment.And then Gerry died of a massive heart attack.

This book is a very special Christmas poetry book. It has two very important themes; inclusion and diversity. In early December of 1951, Helen Hensley was living at her parent''s home while teaching at Winchester High in the United States of America. Each day after classes found her walking from the school to her church, where she worked as Interim Educational Director. Late one afternoon, as she arrived at the front walk of her home, she could see her mother, Elizabeth Davies Clark, waiting at the front door. Her mother had an urgent request: "I need a Christmas story for the December meeting of the Winchester Music Club".
