Three Strikes You’re In
In his early 40’s, Rusty Russo is diagnosed and successfully treated for thyroid cancer. About a year later Russo and his wife are rear-ended in a freak car accident. While being checked out at the hospital doctors discover Rusty has a benign brain tumor. Then, Russo’s thyroid cancer resurfaces. He undergoes a second surgery only to be faced ten years later with lung cancer, his biggest challenge yet. He refuses to accept the diagnosis as a death sentence and engages in the fight of his life. THREE STRIKES YOU’RE IN is Russo’s gut-wrenching and inspiring story of survival.
As an incredibly fit body builder, Russo stresses the importance of being strong both mentally and physically while undergoing cancer treatments. During the time that he is convalescing at home, Russo becomes a certified personal trainer and begins a new chapter in his life, both professionally and physically. Russo also describes his family, especially his wife and sons, and the important role they play in his healing. Throughout THREE STRIKES YOU’RE IN, Russo uses a down-to-earth manner to describe his various tests and medical procedures, surgeries, chemotherapy and experience with alternative therapies.
THREE STRIKES YOU’RE IN is an inspirational story that will touch the lives of anyone who has to deal with illness and suffering. At times humorous and at times heartbreaking, Russo guides the reader through his story, first as a cancer patient and then as a cancer survivor, in the hopes that his triumph will inspire others to stay positive on the path to healing.

The Seer: The Other Side of Red – Book One : A.R. Curtis
Emily Hunts is no ordinary witch. She’s not a true Hunts either, having been left here as an infant. No one knows about the things she sees: nymphs and fairies, mythical creatures, and vampires that lurk on the other side of red, where an epic world of darkness, order and castles exists. From this place, the one person she trusts the most escapes to see her. He is not who she thinks he is.
Every night, he visits in shadow, tutoring her in forbidden magic. Then one night, everything changes. And she’s taken to the other side of red. As she discovers clues about her legendary birthright, she finds it impossible to escape this supernatural realm…alive.
“…an epic magical adventure into darkness…plot-wise, it reminded me of The Phantom of the Opera…A.R. Curtis crafts a lush narrative that weaves in a strong and convincing lore of magical powers, as well as a mythology of darkness and ‘the other side’ that was very exciting to read about. ” -K.C. Finn, Readers Favorite
“The Seer is a very magical and interesting trip through a wonderful world of fantasy that intertwines all the mystical and mythological beings such as fairies, vampires, witches, wizards and demons…Curtis has taken the ideas hiding in legend, myth and fantasy and laced them together in a story line that continuously unfolds to something new. From fairies to mermaids and talking trees.” -Amy Raines, Readers Favorite
“…mythical beings, spirits and shadows, creatures…legends and fears. Secrets, fear, truth, revelation, and magic weave an enchantment over the reader to keep them turning page after page…” – J.J. Simmill, Readers Favorite

Cooked on the Outside, Raw on the Inside : Ken Bosket
Cooked on the Outside, Raw on the Inside: The Struggle to Wait on God’s Timing
In Cooked on the Outside, Raw on the Inside, Ken Bosket gives us a unique view of our quest to understand God’s timing.
How long do we have to wait and how much do we have to endure? To answer the question, Bosket uses culinary analogies: God is the Head Chef preparing a meal for us, and the appetizers, soup, salad, entrées, and desserts are all part of our spiritual journey.
Just as careful food preparation is crucial to cooking a good meal, we must be patient when waiting on responses from God. Microwaved dishes and fast food simply will not do. Appetizers and salads temporarily satisfy our hunger until the main course arrives, as the trials and pitfalls we encounter in our daily lives are mere precursors to victorious destiny. Great cuisine cannot be rushed, and neither can we take a shortcut to a rich and fulfilling relationship with God.
Come…have a seat at the dining room table and let’s have an interesting conversation about God’s timing!
