Most of the poems in Life's Inspirations are about the author's personal feelings, thoughts, friends, family, kids, grandkids, and faith. The thoughts she has at any moment turn into a poem.

The author experienced a lot of heartache and sorrow, but kept her faith and looked up to God for guidance in her life, making the best of it that she could.

This book was written by divine inspiration that came through a dream. The dream was an answer to a need in the life of the author. It was proof that dreams can be relevant and address the daily lives, wants, needs and fears of anyone. For this reason, the author believes it is important to pay attention to dreams. Shortly after the dream the author, who had never written poetry, discovered this new ability. To test this newly discovered talent, the author randomly chose various mundane subjects to write about and found that he could turn any subject into a poem. Then he began to use Bible verses as inspiration and made them the main focus of his poetry. That was when he discovered the reason for his poetry. His former wife, who passed away several years ago, was in need of encouragement and comfort, so most of the poetry was written to her.About the AuthorThe author was born and raised in Atlantic City, New Jersey. He came from a very modest family of very humble means. After graduating from high school, the author enlisted in the United States Marine Corps for four years. After receiving an honorable discharge, he enrolled in college full time. Before graduating, the author left school and became a New Jersey State Trooper. During his career, he went back to school and received his degree in Criminal Justice. After serving twenty-eight very rewarding years, he retired. Shortly thereafter, he began to write poetry. He still lives in New Jersey with his lovely new wife, who encouraged him to publish his poetry. Both he and his wife enjoy traveling and fine dining. The author is still writing poetry and plans to write more books. He is a Bible teacher and pastoral elder at his church. He is also an avid fisherman and dedicated physical fitness enthusiast.

Because author Pat Schell understood that we create our own life situations through our very thoughts, she began to probe and search for tools that would allow her to get very clear on this life process. Therein lies the story behind the book itself: how we implement spiritual tools into our daily lives. She knew that opposites MUST exist in order to move forward and make a life passionate and fulfilled. For how else can we distinguish between what is "GOOD" from what is "BAD"? More importantly, Pat asked the question: "What is MY PURPOSE in this lifetime?" She came to find out that everyone has the opportunity to choose. We choose our friends, choose our profession, choose our place on this planet that we feel comfortable residing, and, yes, we even choose those we love and those that we don't! And, for EACH AND EVERY choice, we are held ACCOUNTABLE! Pat has been a truth seeker for many years. She considers her life as one that remains open and receptive to many new ideas: whether her own or those that are given to her by many friends and acquaintances.

Circus of the Mind puts an eerie new twist on the classic horror scene. It takes you to the abandoned fairgrounds of Ferrels' Fair where a spiritually possessed, mentally torn, psychotic, killer clown and a woman who discovers her powerful, paranormal psychic abilities go on a vengeful killing spree, all the while unknowingly protecting the young, good hearted Marcus Ferrel and his family's land from Edgar Sneed, an evil, power hungry man, and his corrupt group of law enforcement of the town Willows Brook. A new face for coulrophobics and the horror genre, there is no other book out there like this one. It is a true battle between good and evil.

In research done for Skirmishes and Struggles of the Dalton Family, a lot of information was discovered not written in school history books. For example, in the Lewis and Clark Expedition, they went through the northern states. The only way they could have survived was with the help of the Native Americans there. The book begins when Henry De Beaumont, the author's 25th great-grandfather, fought in the Battle of Hastings with William the Conqueror. William endowed to be the first Earl of Warwick Castle. The Daltons came from Ireland and fought in this same battle. They were given land in England and inter-married with the Beaumonts. Eventually, the families migrated to America. The families had a mixture of outlaws and ministers. The author's great-grandfather was hung for stealing a horse. She also recalls hearing of the notorious Dalton Gang from her aunts, cousins, and uncles when they would come to visit, but at the time was unaware of the outlaw gang until years later, reading about them in history books.About the AuthorAuthor Amanda L. Dalton wants to inspire a love for history and family heritage. A few months before launching this endeavor, she heard a historian on CBS Early Show encouraging people share their family histories with their children, as it will have great relevance to future generations.

"God constantly speaks to us in some way or form. Sometimes to invite us; sometimes to comfort us; other times to encourage us, or on occasions to beseech us; but never to condemn us. I 'met' Diane Ranker Riesen during August 2015 during what was called (where I was employed at the time) the Nigerian 'rainy season.' Not in person, but through the magic of her words. After reading a number of her poems that she shared on Facebook I realized that this lady was someone special and that God uses her in a special way as an instrument of hope and love. Diane, even though she had published three books, was not yet widely known or recognized for the quality of her work as she most definitely deserves to be. I felt, and I told her, that her work deserves to be read and appreciated by millions. In this new collection of 400 poems, she again gives us a glimpse at the massive beauty that God has invested inside her heart. My wish is that God would bless many through her words and that she will continue to comfort, inspire, and encourage us with her beautiful poems for many years to come." -Coenraad Marneweck"Diane's poetry moves me, and I, too, feel FAITH, HOPE, PEACE, and PRAISE for our Heavenly Father. My soul sings when I read Diane's very deep and amazing words. Her poetry is like a 'sermon' that God has written, through Diane, who seems to have a direct line to His Power of Love for His children." -Leah PallarisAbout the Author"No one can tell me how to grieve…no one knows how I loved them." -Diane Ranker RiesenDiane Ranker Riesen lives in Tiffin, Ohio, with her husband, Mark, of forty years. They have three children: Luke Andrew, Brent Christopher, and Pamela Grace, along with their spouses, and three grandsons: Braden, Jace, and Axl! Diane has written poetry for as long as she can remember and has used it to help express her spirituality, faith, and all the emotions that we experience in life. This is her fourth book.
