When Reality Bites : Dr. Holly Parker
When Reality Bites : How Denial Helps and What to Do When It Hurts
Denial is often seen as an inability or unwillingness to face unpleasant or difficult realities–from financial losses, to illnesses like alcoholism, to larger social issues like climate change. In some instances, denial can be detrimental because it can keep you stuck in a cycle of destructive behaviors. However, denial can also be very useful for helping you get through hard times, allowing you to tap into your resiliency for emotional survival.
With great insight and originality, author Holly Parker shows you how to use denial as a buffer in the face of tragedy and how to know when your use of denial has become counterproductive or detrimental. Through a fresh, comforting, and clinically-based perspective, Parker takes the shame out of denial with practical and relatable solutions to uncovering, reframing, and harnessing this very normal coping technique. Hands-on exercises and compelling personal stories help you apply this information to your situation and come to accept your need for denial when it helps, and break through it to face life’s challenges with courage when it hurts.
Heaven On Earth : Lucas J Kelly
Heaven On Earth
The book Heaven on Earth is a sheer illustration that we can acquire a new lease of life here on earth and can reap eternal life in Heaven above if we are faithful and believe.
You’ve got to look for a brighter day and let the memories fade away; you can’t take life anymore so in Jesus Christ you move on. In the midst of darkness God becomes your light. Heaven on Earth is a conceptual ideology that which many muse upon. It is very controversial indeed. The niceties on Earth have primarily come from Heaven; so we must acknowledge that not every aspect of the world is purely evil as Earth is in a sense the world or in a factual manner of speaking; our world.
However in saying that, we must understand that Earth is only temporary and it can’t last forever. Now I hope and pray that my book will encourage and propel you forward into a fruitful and obedient lifestyle whilst taking the plunge into reading God’s Word in the Holy Bible.
This book is a revised version of the now available Heaven on Earth online by Mr. Lucas Kelly.

The Cygnus Virus
“In a story that’s part William Gibson-style cyberthriller, part wacky comedy, the pendulum swings between an investigation of the human soul and off-color remarks …” – Kirkus Reviews
“A seriocomic novel that explores the possibilities of futuristic technology and the classic tropes of a mismatched duo.” – Kirkus Reviews
“T.J. Zakreski’s THE CYGNUS VIRUS is at times a very consciously literate and literary book, drawing its inspiration from such sources as Carl Jung, the rise of Nazism, and even the Tarot deck to string together its elaborate metaphorical schema.” – IndieReader
“THE CYGNUS VIRUS is at times an exciting, very smart, and even sometimes very funny book, never talking down to the reader and moving at a breakneck pace.” – IndieReader
