FED Publishing Releases New Book, “Fables for Wisdom Seekers Young and Old” by Barbara A. Meyers

Leave a comment

Fables for Wisdom Seekers Young and Old, by Barbara A. Meyers, shares with us stories that help children deal with many of today’s issues.

Henniker, NH, USA — Barbara A. Meyers’s Fables for Wisdom Seekers Young and Old helps you guide children through many of today’s difficult issues.

Following in the legacy of teaching stories, Fables for Wisdom Seekers Young and Old invites caring adults and children ages 6-11 to explore together ideas about building self-esteem, the challenges of being a member of a family, school, and community, as well as being a citizen of the world.

Each fable is accompanied by a series of suggested talking points to support adults in deepening the story and moving it from the realm of fantasy to the everyday world of the child and reader. These conversations join the natural instincts of children – their curiosity, intuitive knowing, zest for learning, open-hearted caring, innate wisdom and joy in playing – with the wisdom adults have gained through experience. Together children and adults build a bridge to a future in which our ways of being reflect what is fair and just for all who share this planet.

“I really loved this book and can see so many possibilities of integrating it in my classroom.” ~Rogene Carter

With her husband’s support and her children’s encouragement, she balances her love for family, her love for teaching, and her love for writing.

S.P. Chockalingam’s LIVING THE LIFE highlights the importance of being spiritual with holistic approach to day to day life.

Chennai, TN, India — A doctor, a justice, a planter, an entrepreneur, a farmer and other similarly placed workers are introduced as different characters in the life’s journey of seeking the eternal question ‘the purpose and meaning of life’. They all provide their own perspectives on ‘life’ and what the ‘life’ means to them. How all of them ‘live their lives’ or how ‘the life lives their lives’ are brought out in detail.

In “Living the Life”, how the extraordinary, self-automated engineering marvel of the human body architecture with the ‘life’ inside withstands and survives the influences, pressures, and winds of changes of different kinds at different times of forces and factors on its voyage in the turbulent waters of the sea of life is critically discussed.

“Living the Life” is both entertaining and thought provoking. It is a philosophical excursion into the search for the meaning of life and the qualities that give life meaning. The stories of five diverse characters set the stage for this journey of self-discovery. “Living the Life” is timely for readers of all ages”. — Amazon verified. (5 Star Review)

First Edition Design Publishing Releases New Book, “The Miracle Revolution” by Mark Landau

Leave a comment

The Miracle Revolution, by Mark Landau, is a remarkably different, remarkably sensual, science fiction exploration of healing our modern world.

Port Saint Lucie, FL, USA — Mark Landau’s The Miracle Revolution is an erotic, spiritual, healing, adventure, save-the-world, space opera, fantasy novel that will shock and delight you. Fifty Shades of Grey meets Lord of the Rings meets Wonder Woman meets the Rapture. Beware. It’s genre bending, boundary breaking, mostly nonviolent and contains sporadic super-kink, graphic super-sex and some deep, true, special, precious, honest-to-God wisdom.

“This is a book like no other I can remember reading… It is an entertaining, erotic, spiritual, rollicking good time of a simple sci-fi story that will probably provoke you, turn you on (or off) and possibly, if you let it, gently remind you of values long since buried in the cynicism of the 21st century western world. The Miracle Revolution is a fantasy about healing the world and the realization of dreams that western societies have long since abandoned or never even dreamed. And it is a love story.” ~Bruce MacLaren

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is astonishing in several ways and contains gifts few initially appreciate. Dive in and, perhaps, take an evolutionary leap forward. ~Shannon White

Genre – Erotica, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Adventure, Healing, Spiritual, Novel, Fiction, Ascension

The ebook version of The Miracle Revolution ISBN 9781506903026, published by First Edition Design Publishing (http://www.firsteditiondesignpublishing.com), is available on-line wherever ebooks are sold.

It’s In Their Blood: A Memoir of Siblings Reunited and Their Showbiz Legacy, by Scott Lee Needham, is a sibling reunion 70 years in the making.

La Mirada, CA, USA — Scott Lee Needham’s It’s In Their Blood: A Memoir of Siblings Reunited and Their Showbiz Legacy is about the seemingly impossible. Siblings of a Vaudeville family separated at a young age, venture to Hollywood on separate paths, then reunite after 70 years.

This Memoir is written through the eyes, interviews, research and experiences of the author. It is a gift to his family; a verification of genetic history once lost, now found, resulting in discovery that had no memory, and memories that made a 70-year reunion possible. It is also a story for all of us, starting within this family and its consistent success in the professions that helped corroborate the passion and need to communicate. From printers, writers and publishers to vaudevillians and Hollywood actors, this true story reminds all of us about the wonders of inheritance, and how its relevancy revealed the seemingly miraculous. This family, once together and thriving, then separated for decades, now united and forever recorded within their memories and the contents of this book.

Author Scott Lee Needham’s professions have ranged from management, to business owner to Electrician. He has written poetry for twenty years, but never took his writing seriously enough to publish…until now. IT’S IN THEIR BLOOD was a story that was not a choice as he describes, but a passionate and purposeful venture that resulted in not only his families historical recording, but a story for all to enjoy. Soon to publish his poetry, he also is working on a children’s book. He lives with his wife and daughter in Southern California.
