Best Selling Author Donates His Gross Earnings to the Homeless

Cullman, AL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/11/2024 -- Estimating how many people will be homeless for the holidays this year is nearly impossible. Last January 2023, a record-high 653,104 people experienced homelessness on a single night, more than a 12.1 percent increase over the previous year (https://endhomelessness.org/homelessness-in-america/homelessness-statistics/state-of-homelessness/ )—an alarming number of the victims being American Veterans. This year is expected to surpass the last because many immigrants are exhausting our limited resources. This is where all concerned Americans can help.

Kelly Riggs, an American Best-Selling author, is a concerned American who intends to set a trend. He has pledged his total gross earnings for December to aid the homeless and homeless veterans. He has several books listed with publishers and distributors such as Freebird Publishers, Amazon.com, Barnes, and Nobel, among others. Mr. Riggs' pledge is simple: he will donate the total amount received for every book sold in December. He will divide those funds among three recognized non-profit organizations that house the homeless. He will be funding Unsheltered International (https://www.unsheltered.org/), The Salvation Army (https://www.salvationarmyusa.org/usn/provide-shelter/), and The United Re-Entry Foundation, Inc.( https://www.treasuresintestimony.com/ ).

Mr. Riggs has many books covering several subjects. His most helpful collection is his self-help books and his With Jesus series. The With Jesus series focuses on self-help with today's problems that the Bible discusses—finding Kingdom Purpose, Healing, Overcoming Worry, and 12 Steps to Financial Security. These books guide people through the solutions to the issues they face today, using the spiritual guidance found in God's Word.

Montreal, QC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/29/2024 -- In 2018, MishMash Media's L'actualite was ready to make the jump from a legacy paywall provider to a dynamic subscription platform.

To quote Edouard Jordan, Manager of Technology & Innovation at MishMash Media, "Pelcro is a game-changer in this industry. They're challenging decades-old models and bringing technology to the forefront."

Its previous subscription manager historically focused on print subscriptions and brought limited online experience. L'actualite, along with its parent company MishMash Media, wanted an adaptable, tailored solution that would give the publication the power to experiment and iterate with its subscription strategy.

By April 2019, L'actualite had a subscription experience powered by Pelcro. Six months later, it witnessed the following benefits:

- 13% increase in gross revenue
- 134% increase in customers paying by credit card and activating auto-renewals
- 64% decrease in customer tickets thanks to self-serve subscription functionality

Two key factors went into achieving these results: excellent content delivered by a long-standing Canadian publication and Pelcro's user-driven subscription platform.

Increasing Conversion Rates Through a Streamlined Subscription Experience

Paywalls don't scare away readers. Poor user experience does.

Prior to working with Pelcro, L'actualite only had a small number of articles behind a limited paywall. The news magazine hesitated to implement a full paywall due to limitations from their legacy provider and an understandable fear among publishers: Will an aggressive paywall increase a visitor's chances of leaving the site?

L'actualite engaged Pelcro with the goal of implementing a full paywall without scaring readers away. Our technology provided a user experience that set both the reader and the publisher up for success.

To meet this goal, L'actualite needed a subscription page that took online engagement behavior into account. Most media subscription paywalls redirect to a new tab or window, but this causes conversion rates to drop.

The average human attention span is almost three times lower than the average internet load speed time.

Since April 2019, a Pelcro paywall greets L'actualite readers on the same page. It also breaks up the process into manageable steps and only includes the minimum amount of fields required to make the transaction. We recommend a maximum of three fields, which carries an average conversion rate of 25%. Just one more field can lower a publication's conversion rate by 5%. Of course, Pelcro's system is completely customizable, so publishers can add fields, if necessary.

Pelcro's optimized user experience makes it 3 times faster for a reader to subscribe. It also makes it straightforward to select the appropriate subscription package. Notably, Pelcro's platform offers and fulfills both physical and print subscriptions.

Designing a navigable conversion funnel also helps transition longtime subscribers from paper-based payment methods to online payments. One of the benefits of encouraging readers to pay by credit card is offering the auto-renewal option. Renewal rates increase by 87% when publishers offer an auto-renewal option.

L'actualite experienced a 134% increase in customers paying by credit and opting for auto-renewals.

Moreover, since Pelcro's introduction in April 2019, L'actualite's gross revenue has jumped up by 13%.

Pelcro equipped L'actualite with a single source of data truth to inform future marketing campaigns and enable integrations with 3rd party software.

Successful businesses make data-driven decisions, but many publishers struggle to capture the information needed to generate revenue in a strategic manner. With the right data, publishers can understand their readers better and improve the overall experience.

Pelcro provided L'actualite with a back-end system that combined data about its subscription service, email newsletter service, and customer account details into one single source of truth.

In addition, Pelcro's platform makes it easy for different sets of information to relate to each other. Publishers can link multiple platforms and activities like commenting systems, accounting software, Facebook ad campaigns, and more.

Pelcro's dashboards improved L'actualite's ability to understand subscription strategies, but it also made it simpler for the team to execute on specific insights.

For example, Pelcro set up an email paywall for L'actualite. This is a paywall that requests a reader's email address to access an article. New visitors receive two metered (free) articles before encountering a paywall. If they aren't ready to subscribe, they can enter their email (and any other information the publisher deems valuable) in exchange for two more free articles.

This interaction provides L'actualite with the information they need to continue nurturing this reader until they become a paid subscriber.

With a single source of truth that integrates data from all sources – including print subscriptions – L'actualite can glimpse the entire funnel to understand which pieces of content encourage readers to provide their email and which email campaigns generate the most conversions and over what period of time.

L'Actualite Readers Access a User Experience Similar to Their Most Frequented Online Platforms
Today's digital media consumers expect online experiences similar to those found on their favorite streaming platforms or e-commerce stores. This is especially true for younger audiences. They expect full control over their accounts, including the ability to change their account information and manage their subscription without calling in.

Pelcro's subscription service provides L'actualite's readers with the ability to log in and carry out several tasks on their own such as:

- Create a new password
- Update their credit card information
- Manage their email newsletter subscriptions
- Upgrade their subscription package
- Add new articles to their favorites

Ready to Deliver a Modern Subscription Experience to Your Readers?
Now you have a better idea about what a modern subscription experience can add to your business. Thus, it's time to get a closer look.

Every publisher is different. As such, you can schedule a demo with a member of the Pelcro team to see what that would look like for your business.

Ensuring that your subscription model fits both your business and your readers is the key to gaining higher reader revenue.

Proven Method for Overcoming Worry

Cullman, AL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/07/2024 -- Finding a way to overcome worry and anxiety has been a long and tiring endeavor. Mental health professionals and others have been working on a solution for years. The world continues to overlook the fact that the cure has been available from the beginning of time. Best-selling author Kelly Riggs has learned how to overcome his worry and has now explained the solution in simple terms for all to understand. The answers are outlined in his new book Overcoming Worry (https://www.amazon.com/OVERCOMING-WORRY-JESUS-LESSONS/dp/B0CW3JGPJT/ref=sr_1_17?crid=HDKPTPLDWDM5&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.cKaM8JnMi_AYJQe99LRDAKPl9bBrLJtBTpU1gyn4_Q_QWsAX6z9_wih-4hFKENCKxQqsPuwJY-KJYqPBCHpAuE64xjoZWbrhPr9gs_oL9HuhV1e5ETOBzgBZv4Z2KoZYfR72579fmPjUjGP5V6mBtvku8es01ZX4vH2fqP4_YGCtEj4cXwQCB2r1RFpKHzJzzOcO0NsXgM_Rq1GNBmQ0_LaiyzHXDlaiFsUCjq5TaZg.yFZClV4evR9V8RXcbECavNOzvNLIJlSfxLK5Rt-mebM&dib_tag=se&keywords=overcoming+worry&qid=1709690123&s=books&sprefix=overcoming+worry%2Cstripbooks%2C130&sr=1-17) for sale on Amazon.com.

The prevalence of Anxiety in the United States has become staggering. Some experts believe that anxiety is so common in America today because of how much information we receive daily. Others believe it is a generational change caused by other people's thoughts of individual images. Either way, when people give way to their anxieties, they begin to worry. When people make a habit of worry, they allow it to affect all aspects of their lives. According to the U.S. Census Bureau's Household Pulse Survey, about a third of adults overall (32.3%) reported anxiety and depression symptoms in 2023.

Author Kelly Riggs has discovered what has always been right before him. He then put what he learned into practice and overcame his worry. He now put the simple answer in the book Overcoming Worry for the world to follow. Worry, and the anxiety that follows is a global epidemic. Its effects can trouble everyone from every walk of life and are curable. This book is the path a spirit-filled believer discovered to overcome debilitating worry. The work took time, and he took many turns, but ultimately, he found his rock. Between these covers, you will see God's path for all humanity. Reading this book is your first step to recovery.

Sharing the Gospel in a Format That Everyone Can Understand

Cullman, AL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/27/2024 -- It is no secret that Christians, Churches, and other organizations spend millions of dollars looking for effective ways to spread the gospel of Christ. Likewise, it is no secret that T.V. evangelists, capitalists, and popular Charismatic Preachers have made millions explaining what they call the mysteries of the Bible. The proper solution, however, is short, effective testimonials of genuine believers. One such believer and American best-selling author, Kelly Riggs, now shares his spiritual knowledge and life experiences in his short, easy-to-read books. Kelly has gone further by posting what he has learned on his website, https://www.treasuresintestimony.com/.

Although he has taught Biblical principles as a Sunday School teacher and shared the Gospel as a believer, Kelly has never considered himself a Biblical Scholar. Only recently, Kelly discovered the Lord's purpose behind the lessons he has learned. As with every Born-Again Believer, Kelly's life purpose is to "make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…" MATTHEW 28: 18-19.

Kelly Riggs was touched on this project years ago but felt unqualified to proceed with this writing. It was not until the Lord clarified His Word that Kelly moved on his faith. "For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are…" 1 Corinthians 1:26-28

Kelly's latest releases are:

HEALING WITH JESUS

This book is the testimony of an unbeliever who was transformed into a believer in God's power to heal in today's day and age. It took a miracle to change the writer's mind about healing. It outlines the writer's studies as he tries to make sense of what happened to him. It is full of healing scriptures, personal doubts, and the miracle that changed everything. This book is a writer's way of shouting from the rooftops. The Lord is worth praising.

FINDING KINGDOM PURPOSE WITH JESUS

God's purpose for humanity is the only purpose that remains eternal because it is not based on the imperfect characteristics of man. Instead, His purpose is based on His unfailing love for us as His children. The purpose set forth by God in His eternal promises is perfect and meant to be achieved through selflessness. Only when we give of ourselves can we truly experience lasting joy, especially after receiving the gift of salvation through His grace. It is the blueprint of one believer's journey to finding God's purpose for his life.

OVERCOMING WORRY WITH JESUS

Worry, and the anxiety that follows is a global epidemic. Its effects can trouble everyone from every walk of life and are curable. This book is the path a spirit-filled believer discovered to overcome debilitating worry. The work took time, and he took many turns, but ultimately, he found his rock.

Local Author Shares Her Story about Faith, Love, and Pet Adoption

Sarasota, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/04/2023 -- Veronica Brandon Miller, an author, has published a heartwarming book titled "Lexi and Taza's Christmas Story," available on Amazon and her personal website. The book showcases the significance of Christmas through the perspective of two rescued dogs, Lexi and Taza. As the story unfolds, the elder canine, Lexi, takes it upon herself to educate her younger sister about the true spirit of the holiday season.

Christmas is a magical time, and for Lexi, it was the perfect time to explain the true meaning of Christmas to her new little sister, Tazi. As two rescued dogs, their journey was far from easy, but it brought them to a place filled with warmth and love. When Lexi was rescued, her mommy and daddy would share what Christmas meant to them. It was more than just a day for gifts; it was a day for miracles and new beginnings.

So, every Christmas, Lexi would remember the day she was rescued and was welcomed into a family that taught her the true meaning of love. And now she would show and share love with her little sister. Lexi and Tazi's bond deepened, and that's when they decided to make it a tradition to remind their friends, their family, and everyone who walked into their lives about the true essence of Christmas. It was more than just a season of giving and receiving. It was a celebration of love, of miracles, of second chances, and most importantly, the celebration of their savior, Jesus Christ. Their journey of love and faith echoed the miracles and the true meaning of Christmas.

Their story will inspire other generations to come to look for hope and love, even in the darkest times. Their story, just like the birth of Jesus, was a symbol of faith, hope, and the power of God's love.

Drawing from her childhood experiences, Miller poured her heart into crafting a captivating tale that she hopes will allow parents to spend precious moments with their little ones. Not only does her book promote a love for reading in children, but it also advocates for dog adoption. Miller is determined to help "clear the shelters" by inspiring young readers to consider welcoming a furry friend into their homes. "My own dogs have brought me immeasurable love, and I want to share that with others," she explained. Intended for kids between 3 to 7 years old, Miller announced that 20% of the book's profits will go towards supporting local dog shelters. Miller's hope is to make a difference in the lives of these furry creatures who are just waiting for their forever homes!

The much anticipated debut science fiction novel “BAMBOO: A Post-Apocalyptic Odyssey” by Clark Hilton is on sale now, in time for holiday gifting.

Los Angeles, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/17/2023 -- In this spellbinding speculative climate fiction, "BAMBOO: A Post-Apocalyptic Odyssey," Clark Hilton paints a near future nightmare in lyrical prose. The story is set in an inundated, savage domain of rough men and flesh-hungry beasts, where unfolds a dark-skinned teen girl's epic journey to find love in a loveless world.

In a not-too-distant tomorrow, Gen, just 16, journeys from her lonely family farm in search of a gleaming utopia filled with excitement, new friends… maybe even love. But Earth's fury tumbles her into a brutish world beyond her imagination. Gen holds the key to saving the world. Can she save herself?

From the novel: "A zephyr softly teased her hair with an epiphany — the place she called home was a lie."

The first volume of the BAMBOO series soft-launches November 2023 with the follow-on volume scheduled for late 2024. Hardcover and audiobook will be available soon as well. Publisher spokesperson Art Radley says: "BAMBOO makes a timely gift or stocking stuffer for the sci-fi dystopia fan in your life."

BAMBOO is general adult and new adult speculative climate fiction with literary execution for readers of Margaret Atwood, Blake Crouch, Emily St. John Mandel, and Cormac McCarthy. The tale weaves elements of genetic engineering, environmental disaster, technological failure, loss of history, societal unrest, vain hope, and bottomless despair amid the coming-of-age of a reluctant hero.

The author claims that the story's true source remains elusive, but appears to have been sent to our present day from some future society to warn of humanity's folly. Says Hilton: "I offer BAMBOO as fiction, though I did not set out to write a novel. The story unfolded from a curious artifact I encountered only by chance – a tiny holographic cube, which my tech team painstakingly decrypted. What emerged was a message for the world, and the tale of a teenage girl's remarkable odyssey."

"A genre-melding, mind-bending journey through a brutal near future spiked with the anguished hope of new love." - Books2Flicks.com

Pensacola, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/19/2023 -- Prepare to be moved and inspired by the extraordinary life and career of Barbara Elle Prisceaux in 'A Splendid Gift: Celebrating Sixty Years in Nursing.' This remarkable memoir, now available for readers, offers a poignant and heartwarming account of six decades devoted to the noble profession of nursing.

Kirkus Reviews describes it as "a forthright, poignant, and heartwarming account of a storied and beloved career in nursing." Midwest Book Review further praises it as "a powerful memoir that holds the uncommon ability to transcend personal experience alone."

'A Splendid Gift' takes readers on a journey through the life of Barbara Elle Prisceaux, a woman who transformed a childhood dream into an awe-inspiring career. From her early fascination with the nurses in her Yonkers neighborhood to her determination to become a nurse by the age of fifteen, Barbara's story is one of unwavering commitment.

At just eighteen, Barbara's dedication led her to the School of Nursing at Bellevue Hospital, where she joined the Class of 1962. Her journey didn't stop there. She enlisted in the Army Nurse Corps Reserves twice and later embarked on a career predominantly on the West Coast. Her story takes a turn when, in 2003, she relocated from California to Central Florida, shifting her focus from Emergency and Critical Care to Oncology Nursing.

Barbara's journey is a testament to her enduring passion for nursing. Over the years, she blended her nursing career with her love for writing, contributing significantly to the field. She developed and coordinated educational programs in Critical Care, designed legal defense protocols for Renal Transplant litigations, cofounded Paper Chasers Medical-Legal Consultations, and provided invaluable support as an Oncology Certified Nurse specializing in clinical research and advocacy.

Throughout her six-decade career, Barbara faced countless challenges, adapting to evolving technology and navigating the complex world of hospital politics. Remarkably, even at the age of seventy-seven, she continued to provide hands-on patient care, working two 12-hour shifts each week at a medical center eighty miles from her home.

"A Splendid Gift: Celebrating Sixty Years in Nursing" is a testament to the dedication, compassion, and resilience that define the nursing profession. It is a celebration of Barbara Elle Prisceaux's remarkable journey and a source of inspiration for all who aspire to make a difference in the lives of others.

Available now on https://www.amazon.com/Splendid-Gift-Barbara-Elle-Prisceaux/dp/1954676530/">Amazon and major book retailers.

Houston, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/12/2023 -- "…the book is fun, but it is more than fun. It's a meditation on a collision of cultures, and it will make you think." – Dr. Allen Matusow, Professor at Rice University

Ben Koshkin's personal memoir 'Bumbling with the Arabs All the Way to the Bank' is set to captivate readers with its uproarious anecdotes and thought-provoking exploration of cross-cultural encounters.

In this uproarious autobiographical account, Koshkin takes readers back to the 1980s, when he and his business partner found themselves stumbling into a real estate deal that forever altered their lives. What began as a fortuitous twist of fate led them to an unlikely partnership with a Kuwaiti billionaire and introduced them to the opulent world of the Middle East's wealthiest and most influential individuals.

As Koshkin's enthralling narrative unfolds, readers are treated to an inside look at his befuddled yet endearing interactions with high-profile figures in the Middle East. With the undersecretary to the oil minister of Kuwait as a close ally, Koshkin's fate became intertwined with the very heartbeat of the region's oil-driven economy. For four pivotal years, the undersecretary's signature on contracts was the linchpin for Kuwait's oil transactions, an arrangement that offered unparalleled opportunities and unexpected challenges.

Over the course of the 1980s, Koshkin and his partner orchestrated over $250 million in deals, opening doors to a culture that remains enigmatic to the Western world. The book is a treasure trove of comical escapades, brimming with characters as colorful as they are influential. With every visit to the Middle East, the duo's Houston office would be swarmed by covert men seeking insights into their overseas dealings and encounters.

Dr. Allen Matusow, Professor at Rice University, says, "Forty years ago, Ben Koshkin did something few Americans ever do. He got inside the world of fabulously rich and powerful Kuwaitis. Fortunately, for the rest of us, he's written a book that tells us what it was like…Because Ben Koshkin is a natural-born storyteller, the book is fun, but it is more than fun. It's a meditation on a collision of cultures, and it will make you think."

This sentiment is echoed by former Mayor of the City of Houston, Fred Hofheinz, who praises the book as "a good read full of humorous anecdotes of the author's encounters with oil-rich Arabs in the Middle East and Houston."

Readers will find themselves drawn into a world of intrigue, culture clashes, and unbelievable experiences. Bumbling with the Arabs All the Way to the Bank transcends its hilarious surface to offer a unique window into the complexities of cross-cultural relationships.

Clayton Lee of Clayton Lee Counseling raves, "Bumbling is outstanding, different, educational, and highly entertaining," while Brad Dill of BD Realty Advisors remarks, "Our perception of life and people in the Middle East is certainly different from reality."

As Koshkin's 101-year-old mother, Naomi Koshkin Friedman, humorously quips, "If I knew what my son was doing, I would never have survived to live this long."

'Bumbling' is a must-read for fans of humor, unlikely partnerships, adventures, and personal essays. Its engaging narrative, witty anecdotes, and insightful reflections promise to enthrall readers seeking to explore a unique story. Prepare to be captivated by a tale that's as rich as the cultures it navigates.

'Bumbling with the Arabs All the Way to the Bank' is available September 12th, 2023, on Amazon and at major book retailers.

Krista Smith is The Leading Authority in Pen Pal Communication

North Dighton, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/12/2023 -- In collaboration with Freebird Publishers, Krista Smith moves the world with the most informative book on how prisoners can not only find pen pals but also how to keep them interested. In her book, PEN PALS: A Personal Guide For Prisoners ( https://www.freebirdpublishers.com/product-page/preorder-pen-pals-a-personal-guide-for-prisoners ), Krista explains the ins and outs of keeping pen pals interested and inspired to continue an outside relationship.

There is no argument about how important pen pals are to prisoners' rehabilitation. Likewise, there is no argument about how important prisoner pen pals are to lonely people on the outside. Studies have also shown that relationships that start from the separation of prison walls last much longer than most relationships that begin on the outside.

Writing letters to incarcerated people helps remind them they're still part of the community and helps remind others that not everyone in prison is an unredeemable monster, they're just people who have been through difficult challenges as well. But it does not stop there, and often, it's only the beginning. When a prisoner finds a pen pal, their next challenge is to keep that pen pal. That is where the information in Krista's book becomes most valuable.

Her book fills in all the gaps for prisoners who find writing letters challenging. This book brings relief to everyone involved in the prisoner's life. The pen pal, the prisoner, the prison staff, and even the prisoner's family. With good writing skills and interesting material to share, a prisoner can keep their pen pal engaged.

This book solves yet another frustration. It's a commonly known fact that giving gifts to prisoners is often a difficult process when trying to find something that a prison will allow someone on the outside to send in. Books are the universal gift idea for any prisoner. This book is probably the best choice as it advances the prisoners' social skills and rehabilitation.

Author David Lee Perry Provides Help to Drivers through “Sifter” Book

Alpharetta, GA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/10/2023 -- For countless drivers, one's vehicle and the tests associated with it are the source of numerous questions. From the dangers and benefits of air-compression based mechanics to the CDL test, a driver's vehicle and the inspection test that accompanies it can be a stressful part of the job. Thankfully, a new driver-friendly breakdown of these tests, in addition to explanations of a vehicle's many mechanics, can be found within the upcoming book, THE FORM OF KNOWLEDGE.

David Lee Perry did not expect to write a book; he expected to write a "sifter," the solution to a daunting challenge he sought to solve. In his debut book—a story thirty years in the making—he transforms what began as a problem-solving quest into a work of informative shared-experience.

"This work was done to find and solve a problem . . . There's a lot of good information in this work!" Perry shares.

Perry was not always an engineer, but he has always been mechanically minded. Born on a farm in Franklin, North Carolina, heavy machinery such as trucks and tractors are well-familiar tools to him. He knew that when he encountered severe obstacles related to pressure-controlled mechanisms, he had a duty to help his driving community, and after decades of hard work, he has written the solution.

"If the God I love did bless me with the wisdom of my ancestors, it was to help people," Perry says. "The truck is the ship, and as its driver, you are the captain of the ship. You are responsible for your ship and everything on it."

THE FORM OF KNOWLEDGE acts as a lifeline to those in the transportation industry. Within its pages, the answers to numerous questions, from hydraulics to air-pressure-controlled mechanisms, can easily be found in four parts. Perry explains the "whys" behind each button, switch, and lever found in your tractor-trailer, eliminating each ounce of hesitation surrounding your vehicle so that you can both achieve your peak potential.

THE FORM OF KNOWLEDGE is available now on Amazon.com.

In the final installment of the Defenders of Time science fiction trilogy by Gene P. Able, The Aliens Step In, everything changes.

Philadelphia, PA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/21/2023 -- Best-selling author Gene P. Abel releases the thrilling conclusion to the Defenders of Time Trilogy with the third installment, The Aliens Step In. Kirkus Reviews has called the series, "Brisk and engaging."

Agent Lou Hessman and his team discover parts of their time travel facility are disappearing. The Chinese spies behind this event have successfully altered the past-and they are using means beyond current human technology that could prove disastrous for the time and space continuum.

With only a small window of opportunity before their time travel operation is completely erased, the U. S. team visits the past to try and erase the Chinese attack in the first place. The impacts of interfering with time go far beyond anything Agent Hessman and his intrepid team of time defenders could have imagined—worlds beyond, in fact. Their efforts bring them face-to-face with an alien being, Sonsa Tabbak, who arrives to stop human time travel before a universal catastrophe can occur.

What happens next changes everything, everywhere, forever. We are not alone.

About The Author: Gene P. Abel brings a successful and diverse educational and professional background to his writing. Mr. Abel's formal education includes a B.S. in Finance and an MBA. His thirty years as a highly successful business executive in both the private and public sectors are overlaid with thirty years as a commissioned officer in the U.S. Army and Army Reserve. After achieving the status of Distinguished Military Graduate from Penn State, he spent five years on active duty and twenty-five years in the Army Reserve, with such diverse assignments as a nuclear weapons officer and finance officer. He graduated from the Army War College in 1985 and was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal on two occasions. Colonel Abel was nominated for brigadier general and retired in 1993 as an Army Colonel.

Troy Traylor’s Books Will Soon Be on the Best-Sellers List

North Dighton, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/10/2023 -- Freebird Publishers raises their next great author. Troy Traylor will likely be the next up-and-coming best-selling author on the notable publishing company's list of success stories. His books are informative cookbooks that please a wide variety of people. ( https://www.freebirdpublishers.com/product-page/fine-dining-prison-cookbook-1 ).

Mr. Traylor has been on both sides of the prison fence. He has often been asked what it was like and what he ate. He has loved to cook and bake since childhood and has received many compliments, so he decided several years ago to put it all on paper and share it with everyone. People are simply amazed at what a few simple ingredients will produce. Once someone has read his book, they will never look at cookies or Ramen noodles the same again. Not all meals are good on the inside. This is why some good ole' recipes are needed. Cellblock cooking sure beats the chow hall. Now for all of the people on the outside, who love Ramen noodles, wait until they add a couple of chips and things and end up with a pizza or even a full meal. Everyone is simply amazed at what they will discover within these pages. There really is no end to what you will find as you flip through these pages. Everyone can be sure of one thing; a stove and refrigerator will not be needed. All the recipes are non-bake, nor do any need to be refrigerated. So, for all the college students and curious people in the free world, go ahead and unhook the stove and unplug the microwave. You will not need either for these recipes. Is every prisoner or student ready to be the talk of their dorm or neighborhood and discover their creative side simultaneously? Well, they can, and it is both easy and fun. Imagine making both delicious and impressive-looking cakes, pies, spreads, drinks, snacks, and dips that require nothing but a hot pot, spoon, bowl, and patience. No oven or refrigerator will be needed! These recipes take you back to the free world and have you and others craving more.

Freebird Publishers Supports Successful Reentry

North Dighton, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/07/2023 -- Successful reentry for most released prisoners is a questionable endeavor. Many return to crime for economic reasons like the inability to find gainful employment and the lack of social support. Freebird Publishers, however, supplies both (https://www.freebirdpublishers.com/single-post/the-good-life-starts-after-leaving-prison-for-published-authors ). One of Freebird Publishers' most meaningful efforts is their Prison Authors program. This program has paved the way for many prisoners to become published authors and who become very successful when they finally reach the outside world. One such former prisoner is Kelly Patrick Riggs.

Kelly Patrick Riggs became acquainted with Freebird Publishers in 2015 and has since published many of his books. His books range from educational to fiction to spiritual publications. Now outside prison walls, he has gained recognition as a best-selling author and the founder of a non-profit corporation. His organization, known as The United Reentry Foundation Inc., supports what he knows best, what Freebird Publishers taught him about successful reentry.

Mr. Riggs is now a proud member of the Cullman County Chamber of Commerce in Alabama. As such, Mr. Riggs will be found at an upcoming event on July 14 known as "Second Friday." This level of success would never have been possible without the help of the Freebird Publishers Prison Authors program.

At the event, Mr. Riggs will be giving away several books, one of which teaches others how to reach his level of success. His most profound book, How to Write Your Own Check, will be on display alongside the representation of Freebird Publishers. To this day, Mr. Riggs sings the praises of Freebird Publishers for making his life 100 percent different from what he could have accomplished on his own as an ex-prisoner.

Natalie Moss’s First Book, Inspired by a Medieval-Themed Dream, Won the BookLogix Young Writers Contest

Alpharetta, GA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/17/2023 -- BookLogix is pleased to announce the release of Young Writers Contest winner Natalie Moss's new book, INTO THE FIRE.

Natalie, who just graduated from the University of Georgia after studying forensic anthropology, first started writing INTO THE FIRE back when she was in the sixth grade. The plot was inspired by a dream Natalie had while on her way home from a trip, in which she and a friend were trying to overthrow the king in medieval Scotland. Using a new notebook she had gotten as a birthday present, the beginnings of INTO THE FIRE were born. It's undergone rewrites, a title change, and winning the Young Writers Contest in the span of the last ten years, so to finally see the book release to the public is exciting for Natalie.

INTO THE FIRE tells the story of Guinevere, who, despite the death of her mother and father, manages to eke out a living working as a barmaid at the local tavern. However, in a land ruled by an iron fist, Guinevere and her twin sister, Gwendolyn, struggle to make ends meet. Life takes a turn when Guinevere and Gwendolyn become the sudden targets of the corrupt King Firon, and her path quickly becomes more treacherous than she could've imagined, fraught with dark magic, dragons, and betrayal...and rebellion looming.

Says Natalie, "I just hope people have fun reading it. It was fun to write and I think fantasy is a cool little escape from everyday life."

Natalie is now working on her next book, a psychological thriller, and plans to combine her love of writing with her knowledge of forensic anthropology, a la bestselling author Kathy Reichs. She says, "I think I'd like to be Kathy Reichs: work mostly as a forensic anthropologist and professor, and write in my spare time."

The BookLogix Young Writers Contest is an annual contest that recognizes the talents of young writers and includes a $5,000 publishing prize. INTO THE FIRE was selected by a panel of judges that included publishers, editors, teachers, and more.

INTO THE FIRE is now available on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.

One of America’s Leading Advocates Collaborates to Make Change

North Dighton, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/09/2023 -- Americans with incarcerated loved ones know what unduly harsh sentences can do to families. They also know prosecutors and courts will use false information to exacerbate a prison term. To effect change, Freebird Publishers continues collaborating with advocate and author Kelly Patrick Riggs ( https://www.freebirdpublishers.com/single-post/federal-prisoner-released-years-early-under-first-step-act ) to bring hope. Freebird Publishers and Kelly Patrick Riggs continue to produce the leading self-help books on post-conviction relief.

In most cases, people believe that once a loved one has been judged and sentenced, there is nothing more to do to get what is just. The lawyer representing them also tells you that nothing can be done. But the truth is that post-conviction relief is a procedure that allows the defendant in a criminal case to bring more evidence or raise additional issues in a case after a judgment has been made (post-trial). With valid grounds, post-conviction relief can help Americans obtain a fair resolution in their case. This also means that a reduced or vacated sentence is often possible.

Post-conviction relief is usually a complicated process that few can navigate. This is now made easy for everyone to follow. The books written and published through Freebird Publishers are low-cost self-help in an easy-to-read format. Some of the most informative books are:

Ineffective Assistance of Counsel

Post-Conviction Relief: Secrets Exposed

Post-Conviction Relief: The Appeal

Post-Conviction Relief: Advancing Your Claim

Post-Conviction Relief: Winning Claims

Post-Conviction Relief: C.O.A. in the Supreme Court

Post-Conviction Relief: Second Last Chance

Post-Conviction Relief: The Advocate

Freebird Publishers Is Not Just for Prisoners

North Dighton, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/06/2023 -- Freebird Publishers continue to support their authors after they leave prison. Freebird Publishers has touched many prisoners with the gift of success. They continue to transform incarcerated Americans into successful published authors effectively changing life for those touched and their families. They focus on all aspects of the author's life including maintaining good relationships while incarcerated with books such as Parent to Parent by William J. Patterson (https://www.freebirdpublishers.com/product-page/parent-to-parent-raising-children-from-prison )

William J. Patterson is one of Freebird Publishers' featured authors who has contributed to Freebird Publishers' effort to help all prisoners. Not only has he written his book, Parent to Parent. He has also written the book Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: Seven Steps to Financial Freedom. This book, like others written by Freebird Publishers authors, was written to assist other prisoners and their families to prepare for life after reentering society.

In his most profound financial book, he encourages prisoners to take charge of their finances long before release. This book covers many aspects of the bankruptcy procedure that even a prisoner can navigate with the wisdom between the covers. Getting the process started before release leaves a prisoner to live with the consequences for a much shorter period. The facts are simple, losing a career due to incarceration does ultimately lead to bankruptcy, and bankruptcy scars a person's credit for years on end. Starting that period early lets the period of credit unworthiness run with the time of incarceration leading to financial freedom much earlier upon release from prison.

Much of the bankruptcy procedure is technical and very straightforward. More often than not, there is only one way to complete a required form and only one set of rules that apply to that form. Being familiar with the legal system, prisoners understand that one misstep can cost you your freedom.

Freebird Publishers Helps Families Earn Higher Wages

This young publishing company has discovered that fighting poverty is a healthy way to fight crime as well. They have taken a handful of prisoners and showed them a process to earn a meaningful living even while incarcerated. Their effort also extends to life after prison and is now available to all incarcerated Americans and their families. This process begins with learning how to live Life With A Record ( https://www.freebirdpublishers.com/product-page/life-with-a-record )

Life With a Record helps make sense of the major challenges facing ex-offenders today. Ten hard-hitting chapters outline the purpose of making a Strategic Reentry Plan and making peace with supervisors, family, your community, and your future. Written by well-known reentry technician Anthony Tinsman, it packs an amazing amount of material into its pages and gives you a quick, easy-to-follow, full spectrum of instruction.

Once the basics of living life after prison are achieved, Mr. Tinsman goes on to share the wealth of writing for a living in his book Write & Gert Paid ( https://www.amazon.com/Write-Get-Paid-Anthony-Tinsman/dp/0999660217 ). Every ex-offender can easily stay home and earn thousands of dollars a week. This is proven by ex-offender and best-selling author Kelly Patrick Riggs. With this combination of books, anyone can walk out of the pay-check-to-pay-check life and start living above the world's expectations for them. This process is not limited to prisoners and their families, anyone can do it.

Freebird Publishers' process of fighting poverty is not limited to prisoners and their families. This process is meant for everyone who wants more out of life. Kelly Patrick Riggs, now a best-selling author was once a high school dropout who failed English twice. Mr. Riggs woke up one morning with an epiphany, he wanted more out of life. He started with a simple idea and moved on to write fourteen books over seven years. One of his most meaningful publications is How-To Write Your Own Check ( https://www.amazon.com/s?k=how+to+write+your+own+check&i=stripbooks&crid=10SDKQEML9W9A&sprefix=how+to+write+your+own+check%2Cstripbooks%2C213&ref=nb_sb_noss ).

In Mr. Riggs' short book, he shows the world how he escaped the grind of the pay-check-to-pay-check life. He offers how-to steps from developing a meaningful idea all the way to marketing the book after it is published. Most of all he shows the world how anyone can come from nothing and be transformed into someone who never has to worry about day-to-day expenses ever again.

Kelly Patrick Riggs Helps Underprivileged Families Make Extra Money

North Dighton, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/07/2023 -- In 2016, best-selling author Kelly Patrick Riggs was given a gift by the CEO of Freebird Publishers. He was given the gift of success (https://www.freebirdpublishers.com/single-post/self-improvement-has-been-one-of-the-longest-running-national-efforts-for-most-americans ) in the most unlikely of places. And now he shares the secret to his success with others.

Freebird Publishers has, from their beginning, encouraged prisoners to succeed. This encouragement is more important than ever in our uncertain economic time. Today, more Americans are incarcerated than ever before, and it is usually the breadwinner of the family that is taken away. This often leaves single parents and children to fend for themselves financially. But prison is not the end of financial security or the beginning of ruin. With the help of Freebird Publishers, incarceration is nothing more than a shift in prosperity.

In May of 2012, Kelly Patrick Riggs was incarcerated. He was the sole provider for his wife and four young children, and they were left without financial security. His wife, reduced to being a single parent, discovered that there was no assistance available to families of incarcerated Americans. This caused great suffering for the family of Mr. Riggs. Incarceration was the begging of a long hard road for both Mr. Riggs and his family. Mr. Riggs spent the next three years battling his criminal cases, holding on to the hope that he would one day return to them. They were forced to sell off everything that they had just so his wife could put food on the table for his children. His wife and children were later forced to relocate and move in with family for basic survival.

In desperation for his family Mr. Riggs started to look for ways to help provide support. He discovered that having a job in prison was nothing more than a well-marketed publicity stunt, although jobs were available on paper, he learned that the pay was only twenty-five cents per month. He was later introduced to Freebird Publishers and their publication the Inmate Shopper by another inmate. Impressed by their supportive attitude and their wide variety of options, Mr. Riggs reached out to the Massachusetts company for more information.

Mr. Riggs, at that time, was a nobody but Freebird Publisher gave him their time to explore his potential. He was a high school dropout who failed English twice. But Freebird Publishers helped him to cultivate a good idea and showed him how to get it off the ground.

Mr. Riggs later published his first of many books and was soon providing support to his family once again. This one chance in life changed Mr. Riggs' mindset forever, even upon his release from prison. Today he continues to make a living writing even in a time of national economic crisis.

Kelly Patrick Riggs is now an American Best-selling author with books available from most online distributors. He also shares his experiences and resources with others who wish to change their financial futures. His most profound financial book is How to Write Your Own Check ( https://www.amazon.com/How-Write-Your-Own-Check/dp/1707848564 ) available on Amazon.com. In this book, he explains how he found financial freedom and how anyone can do it. Mr. Riggs even shares the contact information of his publisher in this book.

New Inmate Shopper Connects Families with Incarcerated Loved Ones

North Dighton, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/28/2023 -- The new release of the latest Inmate Shopper ( https://www.freebirdpublishers.com/product-page/inmate-shopper-2023-2024 ) brings humanity and connection back to American families with incarcerated loved ones.

Family members of incarcerated Americans are often referred to as the hidden victims of the criminal justice system. Those affected are neither acknowledged nor given a platform to be heard. These hidden victims receive little personal support and do not benefit from the systemic societal mechanisms generally available to direct crime victims, despite their prevalence and their similarities to direct crime victims. No one seems to care, except the staff at Freebird Publishers.

America is the global leader in incarceration. Their state and federal governments spend more tax dollars on their mass incarceration system than they do on public education for children. In America, more attention is paid to crime promotion than crime prevention. More astounding is that when a child loses a parent to incarceration, the criminal justice systems give no support to help the child cope. Thus, the children of America believe that incarceration is a part of normal life.

Additionally, the governments pay little attention to the correction and rehabilitation of American prisoners. They, therefore, secretly promote the revolving door syndrome of prison life. The U.S. Federal Government specifically states that "imprisonment is not an appropriate means of promoting correction and rehabilitation." 18 U.S.C.: 3582 (a).

Freebird Publishers strives to fill the obvious gaps. They provide resources for the education and rehabilitation of prisoners and families. They provide prisoners with a healthy platform where a prisoner can give gifts to their children and family members, thus maintaining a sense of normalcy for the forgotten victims of mass incarceration.

Freebird Publishers promotes methods for prisoners to continue to be productive providers to their families while incarcerated. They give tips and resources to prisoners that help them earn a real-life and legal income with which they can continue to support their families. Some examples of this are authors Kelly Patrick Riggs, Raymond E. Lumsden, and Troy Traylor. Some of these authors continue their careers upon release, which all started with the Inmate Shopper.

The Inmate Shopper is America's largest inmate shopping guide and services directory for Prisoners! Inmate Shopper is an In-print publication that offers inmates a safer way to shop and access business information all in one place.

Freebird Publishers have researched all the businesses listed in Inmate Shopper to keep them updated on every issue. Inmate Shopper informs its readers about established and newer companies and offers information on pen pal services, scams, opportunities, and places to sell their writing, arts, and crafts.

Only Inmate Shopper lists Pen Pal websites, Personal Assistants, Gift Boutiques, and Businesses that want to send you their catalog and listings of services for writers, poets, and artists.

Businesses Rated 10 receive the Inmate Shopper stamp of approval so you know which companies are the best to shop with.

Freebird Publishers Leads the Way for Prisoners Seeking Mandatory Release

North Dighton, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/09/2023 -- In the wake of the Mandatory Release of state prisoners, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall files suit to obstruct the prisoner's early release. Likewise, Alabama Governor Kay Ivey goes on record that she continues to stand for public safety. This political stance by elected officials is common among all the states around the country. They are strong on the pro-prison stance but continually obstruct state-sponsored rehabilitation. Thus, our elected officials continue to convict the poor rather than fight the poverty that leads to crime. Freebird Publishers ( https://www.freebirdpublishers.com/product-page/2254-pro-se-guide-to-winning-federal-relief ) does and continues to stand for American Prisoners in need of help. They provide information that helps prisoners find rehabilitation and early release from state and federal prisons. This is best exemplified by their distribution of books by the nationally known author Raymond E. Lumsden.

In Mr. Lumsden's line of books, prisoners will find many ways to fight for early release from prison in state and federal courts. His books consist of:

The Habeas Corpus Manual
This book is written specifically for the pro se inmate. Within its pages lay the information, process, and instructions for obtaining relief in a state habeas corpus.

From the initial investigation through filing a writ of habeas corpus, prisoners are provided effective forms, motions, and detailed instructions specific to state-level habeas corpus.

Armed with this book, relief is only a few pages away if done properly and effectively. Any pro se inmate serious about post-conviction relief should order a copy. Even if not incarcerated or are not an inmate and looking to overturn a conviction, sentence, etc., this is the book needed.

§ 2254 Pro Se Guide to Winning Federal Relief

Logically written in layman's terms for easy comprehension and strategically outlined and organized, this book allows people to absorb and easily follow the complicated and twisted path that is the federal court system.
