Improving the Self : Anthony Michael
Improving the Self – What Should We Believe?
The facts and truths ‘according to Anthony Michael’, behind multiple belief systems, phenomena, ‘hypes’ and influences, that guarantee life progression, control of one’s destiny, success, or wise guidance. Demonstrated in a simple brief ‘snapshot’ presentation – subjects ranging from eastern influences, life/self help coaching, the ‘occult’, esoteric subjects, ‘The Law of Attraction’, tools of divination, real life success stories, and much more.
What may, or may not have worked for certain authors, individuals, authorities, experts, demographics, or celebrities, are looked at, and compared to whether ‘their’ templates for success, would also work with our dreams and desires. Whether based on historical facts or statistics, can we assume that a concept, system, formula, attitude, secret or phenomena, will prove to be successful with our endeavors? What should we follow? What works? Do we formulate our own template according to our current life status, intuition, synchronicities, skill set, beliefs, background, or size of our dream/s?
Self professed ‘philosopher’, ‘realist’, passionate author, inquisitive human being, and founder of electronica musical outfit ‘Tranz Mystique’, briefly analyses each subject, and places his philosophical spin on his findings, real life experiences, and what may or may not ‘really’ work for individuals, or the masses. Also, the benefits of customizing a ‘best of’ system, in order to progress to a ‘Higher ground’ – attaining a long life goal, sustained success, state of Nirvana, or achieving one’s ‘ultimate’ dream!

ALIEN TUC, the Yummling : Moreah Sinclaire
ALIEN TUC, the Yummling
ALIEN TUC, The Yummling, is a story about ALIENS, CLIMATE CHANGE, and CHOCOLATE! And, it’s also about friendliness and kindness, even toward aliens!
It is a delightfully illustrated storybook for kids ages 6 – 11, who are curious about aliens. I, myself, was not a believer in aliens until one day my 10-year old granddaughter invited me to her pretend slumber party. At first, I said I was too shy and wouldn’t know anybody there. She assured me that as well as cool boys, there would be friendly aliens. So, I agreed to go. I thought if 10-year olds believe in aliens, they must be real. And so, as I let my imagination go, this story came to me. A cute, friendly little alien in the shape of a kidney bean appeared on the page. His name was TUC and he was from the planet YUM.
Why TUC comes to Earth will surprise you. He comes in search of chocolate! On his planet chocolate is not eaten. It is used for building material! On YUM they have been mining chocolate from underground caves and building their dwellings with it. But lately climate change has happened. Their planet has moved closer to the sun and now their chocolate homes are melting. More chocolate has to be found! And so, alien TUC comes to Earth and tries to steal all of Earth’s chocolate!
Meanwhile, little Jenna, holding her Stuffie, quietly watches everything from beside the cornfield. TUC is eventually captured by the Chocolate Police and forced to surrender all the chocolate he has taken. It ends happily as the friendly Chocolate Police decide to give him gifts to take back to YUM; gifts which will help the Yummlings repair their melting homes. And Jenna gives him a special gift, too.
Advance Review:
Moreah Sinclaire has a terrific imagination, telling the story of a young alien from the planet YUM visiting Earth to look for a special ingredient needed to save his own civilization: Chocolate! Children are sure to love this story, and there are wonderful illustrations to also stimulate little imaginations. Let’s just say this little book is a treat!

Advance Review:
This is a charming tale with lovable cartoon-like drawings to delight the imagination of a child who sees themselves in the story learning a bit about the universe. I like the idea of an opportunity to teach about kindness and understanding of those who are not like ourselves—important values in a changing world.
BB.
Advance Review:
Here’s a book for children who need encouragement to read. It has wonderful drawings to capture their interest and a text with real world ideas.

What Life Is; Dancing on the Edge of Eternity : Hans Decoz
What Life Is; Dancing on the Edge of Eternity
When it comes to the subject of Life, we seem to have a blind spot.
Throughout the ages, the question of what Life is has been asked and answered a thousand times and invariably both the question and the answer center on Life’s attributes: what it does, where it came from, what created it, what its meaning is… What you won’t find is the answer telling you what Life is. We seem unable to consider Life as a presence in and of itself, independent from life forms and outside the context of alive versus dead.
When you die everything that was enclosed by your skin is still there, except Life. Life has left you. But what is that thing called Life? What is it made of?
Does Life have particles? If it did, wouldn’t science have found them by now? Is it energy? If it is, wouldn’t scientists be manipulating it? Why have we not been able to capture or isolate it?
What Life Is; Dancing on the Edge of Eternity, is not an intellectual or philosophical argument, nor does it promote a religious platform. It touches the subject of Life unlike any other text, exploring the most essential question we can ask. The answer it offers is life-changing and may surprise you.

Fear of Earth : Benjamin Earl Johnson
Fear of Earth
John’s mornings look no different than his nights. He peers out through the small porthole window in his living bay, and is confronted with endless black space. When John looks inward, he is confronted with meticulously designed marvels of humanity designed to keep him and his fellow compatriots from wondering too much about Earth, which was destroyed far before any of them were born.
In the Saturn Federation, humans live in a neatly designed network of specialized space stations. There, they are afforded a bounty of technological wonders and amenities, so long as they remain productive and positive. But there are some, like John, who question the way society is organized, and who crave deeper answers about Earth and humanity.
In the Saturn Federation, however, such questioning results in gentle government interference. Despondence is considered a disease, and those that feel it are counseled by the friendly officials that come in the night. Sometimes, the counseled return with bright exuberance. Others, however, disappear. Fear not! Each of the Saturn Federation’s denizens are treated according to the same mantra; “The Saturn Federation does no harm.” Some things, though, are hard to overlook.
Then comes the knock. John’s suspicion leaves him with a choice.
