A Guide for Healing and Claiming What's Yours

 

Self-help, personal development, psychology, spirituality, trauma healing

Date Published: August 5, 2024

 

 

Everything you want: all the riches of the world, the depth, beauty, the fun.

Everything you want is in the underworld of your psyche.

This is where our capacity to experience lives.

Yet, most of us barely know what is happening in our own mind and are at least a little terrified of who we might really be.

Just as our wishes and dreams live in the underworld of our psyche, so do our worst fears, the things we desperately want to run from. This is the treasure.

Our traumas, patterns, addictions, seedy desires, and repressed memories once welcomed and transformed by the light of our consciousness give us our greatest power, creativity, and magnetism.

This is your guidebook to your underworld that you might claim everything that you are.




INTERVIEW



Introduce yourself and tell me about what you do.

My name is Lillian Moore, I've been studying the healing arts since I was a child and working with Trauma for the last 20 years. 10 years ago I co-founded a school teaching people how to work with their own emotions. We train practitioners



Tell me more about your journey as an author, including the writing processes.

I wrote "Treasure Hunting in the Underworld" right after my stepmom (primary parent, the woman who raised me) died last year. A few weeks after she passed, I was given a huge gift: three weeks to myself, with no kids, no work, and very few interactions. I spent my days in the river below our home in Colombia and my evenings by the fire with music.

Grief is an incredibly generous teacher. The loss connects us with the eternal by forcing us to face the temporary. The pain pulls our focus and demands our attention. The love that can be taken for granted when it’s a phone call away suddenly becomes the single most important thing.

For me, grief was an invitation to come home to myself. It was time to reorganize the home of that loss, pain, and love. I needed to clean out my underworld so I could move with grace through the portal of grief.

To do this cleaning, I systematically remembered what I know about healing and restoring power. Even after 19 years of teaching these techniques, I would still forget to use them. As I say in the book, simple things are both easy to remember and easy to forget.

This book was like wrapping up the most important principles for healing that I know into a box, tying the bow on it, and giving it to myself. Since writing it, I haven’t forgotten to use these powerful techniques for my benefit. When something bothers me, a pattern emerges, or I notice a strange reaction to something in my life, I deal with it by treasure hunting.



Tell me about your Book

Treasure Hunting in the Underworld gives the gift of facing ourselves and our lives unconditionally from a seat of power. It helps us become richer through loss, stronger through collapse, and more loving through heartbreak. As we do this process, we stop experiencing the same losses, collapses, and heartbreaks again and again, and our lives can move forward more creatively.

This book is a guidebook that shows you where healing is needed and how to approach any wound or pattern of negativity gently and systematically. More important than that, this book teaches and instills a practice of self-compassion and acceptance. Through the work that this book offers you can build a relationship with yourself based in deep respect and trust, learning to hold yourself in high regard.

While the work outlined in Treasure Hunting in the Underworld is inner work, the reflection of this work can be seen in the reader's life. When we know ourselves and are friends with ourselves the inner saboteurs become allies and our work lives, finances, and relationships all improve. You can bring your best to life and life will meet you there.




Any message for our readers

Everything is healable, there is nothing in you so scary or dark or painful that it can’t be accepted, loved, and ultimately turned into power.




Story

Everything that we experience is a product of our own inner world. It is where we create our lives from and it is the only lense through which we can perceive the world around us. There is no greater power for creating a beautiful life experience than having power in your inner world. But, for most of us our inner world is like a dreamscape that barely makes sense to us. We have fragmented and opposing feeling and beliefs born out of trauma and living in a world that provides us so much information and emotional stimulation but very few tools to understand or integrate. The result is that we walk around like a chorus of different voices each creating and perceiving according to one fragment of information without the wisdom and context of the whole of who we are.

The results that we get in our lives may feel mysterious, random, or even like tragedies echoing from our childhood, only because we don't know how we are creating what we are creating.

This book is a guidebook to your own innerworld and a tool kit for integrating all of the information of your life into a cohesive and powerful sense of self. The method of integration is radical honesty and radical self acceptance. The book teaches you to open yourself up like a map and visit the places in your being with stored energy and power. It teaches you how to systematically and gently transform pockets of pain or confusion into compassion, wisdom and depth. The result is the capacity to be what you want and have the life that you want using the raw materials of experience that your life has provided you.

His otherwise stable existence was shattered by news that changed his life and the destinies of thousands. This humble bodyguard servant was Nehemiah.

Nehemiah's story will fascinate, energize, and inspire you to decipher the leadership puzzle with vigor.

Dark Fantasy, Romance, Horror

Date Published: October 18, 2024

 

 

Darkness is falling...

Things at Woods University are not what they seem. When Joey Sumner's roommate Maria joins the growing ranks of blazer-wearing supergeeks who roam the campus in emotionless packs, Joey begins to think she has a problem. Then Joey stumbles upon a secret ritual being performed on campus, and her world is turned upside down. Joey and her boyfriend Will are forced to fight for their lives against an ancient evil cult that is preying on the student body. To make matters worse, their boss is one of them, and his obsession for Joey goes way beyond thinking she has a cute ass...

 

Evil is growing...

A year after the mysterious death of her husband Terrence, Ada Ross is still seeking answers. When handsome detective Eric Perfater comes back into her life offering a chance to unravel the mystery of her husband's demise, Ada is more than ready to help. She's also willing to throw off her endless loneliness and wantonly offer herself to sexy Eric in bed... But a dark shadow falls across their chance at happiness. Ada is a pawn in a desperate man's ploy to hang onto the past and take control of a secret society whose very existence threatens the entire world.

Can the forces of evil's hungry claws be defeated? Or will they all be consumed by the Dark Legion?

 

Publisher's Note: This duet contains the previously published novellas Legion: University and Legion: Adult Education.

 

 

 

 

Excerpt from University


"You're late, G.I. Jane." Will Martin winked at her as she walked into the lab where they worked together and pulled the backpack from her shoulder.

Joey grinned at him, a big stupid grin no doubt, but she didn't care.

With his golden skin, sun-streaked hair and powerful body, Will was nobody's idea of a geeky scientist. Tall, handsome, with a bold nose, a sexy mouth and dark blue eyes that could glitter with humor or darken to the color of a stormy sea. Joey had never seen such a perfect blend of beauty and intelligence in any other man. In the realm of science there was no challenge he wouldn't take on, no subject he wouldn't tackle. Even Joey with her very limited knowledge of virology knew that Will was well on his way to making a difference in the world. It wouldn't surprise her if he were the one to someday find a cure for the AIDS virus, ending the suffering and death of millions. She had that much faith in him.

His brilliant mind fascinated her almost as much as his hot, muscular body and that was saying a lot. How many times had she satisfied herself while thinking about Will? How many late night dreams had he haunted? The touch of his rough hands on her aching breasts always felt so real in her dreams, so good. She'd swear that the solid length of his body between her thighs, the sensual glide of his cock in and out of her slick, ready passage were a reality while she was dreaming.

Until she woke up in a sweaty tangle of bed sheets. After several seconds of swearing and sometimes several more seconds with her vibrator, she could usually get back to sleep. But not always. Sometimes she'd lie there and think of clever ways to ask him out. A couple of times she even meant to carry out her plans to ask him out to dinner, then maybe even ask him to her bed. But she always chickened out at the last moment.

Joey grabbed her lab coat from its peg on the wall and watched Will as she slipped it on. Will had no idea that she was totally infatuated with him and she was afraid to make a move. They worked together after all. He was a brilliant scientist. She was just a girl who'd gone into the army to pay for college on the G.I. Bill and was now a way-older-than-average freshman. Joey continued to watch him as he scribbled notes on a steno pad and peered into the microscope before him, his muscular upper body straining against the lab coat he wore. How could someone like her ever hope to get the attention of someone like him?

"That's new." Dr. Rafe Bowen caught her off guard. Hooking the golden charm bracelet that circled her wrist with a long finger, he pulled her arm up to scrutinize it before releasing her.

"Yes," she said, recovering from the start. "It was a gift."

"From whom?" he asked in his clipped British accent, his hazel eyes watching her intently.

Her eyes darted to Will. But he didn't appear to be paying attention to their conversation. Damn him! "My sister," Joey answered blandly.

Rafe Bowen nodded, but continued to gaze at her speculatively. Rafe was her supervisor in the lab. He was a handsome man with his chestnut hair and well-defined, cultured features. He wasn't as tall as Will, his build average. From what little she knew of him he was probably in his early forties but he looked remarkably young for his age. He could pass for someone in his early thirties easily. It helped that he was easy to work for and generous with his time. He taught several virology courses in addition to his research.

Joey had long suspected that her boss had more than a passing interest in her. Rafe would stare at her when he thought she wasn't looking and it made Joey pretty damned uncomfortable. He'd always insisted that she call him by his given name, though she never had. But he'd given her a job when she'd given up hope of finding one. That alone had made her first year at Woods University much easier than it could have been for a twenty-five-year-old freshman.

"Why are you two here?" he asked, frowning.

Joey exchanged a glance with Will and let him answer.

"Next week is spring break," Will pointed out. "If we don't run the analysis on the Aspergillus cultures now, we'll lose them. They won't be any good when we get back."

Joey couldn't help with the analysis, wouldn't know how. She knew that Aspergillus was a mold and a respiratory allergen but that was about it.

But the money sure would come in handy.

"What about tomorrow and Friday?"

"Exams," Will and Joey answered in unison.

Rafe blew out a frustrated sigh. "You're not staying long. I have to be at a meeting in an hour."

"We'll lock up," Will assured him.

Joey's heart began thumping in earnest. Alone with Will Martin? Oh, yes, that would be fine.

Rafe's expression grew darker. It wasn't like him.

"You'll leave when I do," he said curtly. When it appeared Will was about to say something else, he added, "End of discussion."

Will's gaze followed him as Rafe marched to his office and closed the door behind him. He shook his head, giving Joey a sardonic half smile.

"What crawled up his ass today?" Will glanced up at the lab's clock, prompting her to do the same. It was five minutes to six in the evening. "Want to get started on prep?"

Joey nodded and walked to the autoclave on the counter opposite the lab door. Pulling open the door, she frowned when she found it empty.

"Crap! Someone took all the instruments I autoclaved last night," Joey grumbled. How would they have time to do anything now if she had to sterilize more instruments?

Will glanced over his shoulder at her but didn't seem concerned. "Turner probably took them for his class, that lazy asshole. Just sterilize some more. We've got time."

Joey motioned toward Rafe's office with her thumb.

"Let me worry about him." Will waved her on.

When Joey hesitated he smiled, a flash of white teeth. Her nipples tightened to hard little points in an instant.

"Go on." He motioned her to continue with her work. "How's your French class going?"

I know all the dirty words. I could recite them for you.

"I'm doing okay." Wasn't that a waste of a good conversation opener? Think! "I've really enjoyed the biology labs. The experiments have been very interesting."

"Yeah?" Will's back was to her. He kept right on with his work. "Which ones interested you the most?"

Her mind went blank. That would teach her to use something she had little interest in to get his attention. Shit! "The genetics experiments," she finally answered. She knew there had been a couple.

"I think the corn genetics experiment is the best that they offer." He paused a moment as he read over his notes. "Morten had a good idea there. Students get to germinate and grow F2 corn seeds and determine the inheritance pattern of the albino trait and what the P and F2 generations' genotypes must have been. Did you like that one?"

"I did." Joey remembered it anyway.

"We might make a scientist out of you yet." Will peered at her over his shoulder. "What are your plans for your time here? I don't think I've ever asked you that."

Her mouth went dry.

To jump your bones?

Virtual Book Tour: The 7th Dimension by Monica Broussard #giveaway #metaphysical #christian #speculative #fiction #interview #rabtbooktours @AuthorBroussard @RABTBookTours
7:53 AM1 Comments

 

Book 2 in the 21 Tattoos series

 

Visionary/Metaphysical Fiction; Speculative Fiction; Christian Fiction

Date Published: forthcoming September 18

Publisher: Acorn Publishing


 

What do a comatose old woman, a dying gang member, and a brutal assault on a teenage boy have in common? Derek Hollinger isn’t sure, but he knows they’re all connected to the mysterious tattoos that suddenly appeared across his body.

Determined to untangle the web spun by the vicious thug known as “Spider,” Derek embarks on a journey of redemption that leads from his lavish L.A. penthouse to the seedy world of underground fighting and human trafficking. But as he ventures deeper down the rabbit hole, the self-exiled plastic surgeon realizes that the answer lies within his heart and mind … and soul.

Faith is the key to reclaiming his life, but choosing God may be difficult for Derek, who has spent his entire career valuing material success over spiritual growth.

In this thrilling sequel to 21 Tattoos, Derek must face the hard truth about where his tattoos came from and an even harder truth about what it will take to be free of them once and for all.

 



INTERVIEW


What is the hardest part of writing your books? 

While I focus on perfecting my writing style, I am mindful of the significance of effectively portraying my intended message through the thoughts and behaviors of my characters. It's easy to overlook the fact that readers may not have prior knowledge of the story, so it is imperative that I carefully choose my words and ensure that my meaning is easily understood in The Tattoo Series.



What are your most played songs? 

Music is a big part of my life. My preference varies depending on how I am feeling. I don't have a set list of most played songs; instead, I go through phases based on what's happening in my life. Sometimes, I want to revisit songs from my childhood or ones that were playing during my kids' upbringing. Other times, I just want to bask in the glory of the Lord with uplifting music. And when I need motivation for a run, it's all about finding a beat to match my pace.



Do you have critique partners or beta readers?

My critique partners and beta readers are individuals that I am familiar with through personal, social, or professional connections. I highly regard their opinions and assessments.



What book are you reading now?

Quest for the Scroll by R. L. Rinne, He uses some of the same metaphysical type elements in his story as I use in mine.



How did you start your writing career? 

Reading and using my imagination have been passions of mine since I was a child. However, it wasn't until I reached college that I started writing down the stories in my head. Even then, my writing was sporadic as the demands of life often took precedence. But during one of the most difficult times of my life, when I was undergoing intense chemotherapy and radiation treatments for Stage 3 Breast Cancer, I found solace in creating a story about self-discovery and rebirth. Drawing from my own journey through the traumatic effects of my diagnosis and treatment, I explored the significance of tattoos through metaphors in my character's quest for understanding and healing after experiencing personal turmoil and transformation. In this second book of the series, I continue to delve into the process of rebuilding a shattered life and fundamentally changing one's identity through spiritual awareness. Through extensive research, I discover the power of creating your own life story to reconstruct your life and find true inner peace and growth for my character.



Tell us about your next release.

In the third book of The Tattoo Series (release September/October 2025), my characters embark on a quest for understanding and self-discovery. As they face challenges and obstacles, their bonds are tested and they must push themselves to their limits in order to grow. Building upon the events of the previous books, this story delves deeper into the struggles and personal development that come with embarking on a physical and spiritual journey toward self-discovery. This book sets the foundation for future exploration of the remaining 21 characters in the series who have yet to be fully revealed.

Book Blitz: The Dance by Frank J. Visosky Jr. #nonfiction #rabtbooktours @RABTBookTours
7:45 AM1 Comments

 

Nonfiction

Date Published: September 8, 2024

 

 

The Dance is a gripping memoir that chronicles one man's harrowing journey through the depths of medical and emotional adversity, emerging on the other side with newfound strength and hope. Set against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, the author's life is turned upside down when he is diagnosed with Central Pontine Myelinolysis (CPM) after battling alcohol withdrawal. Paralyzed, trapped in his own body, and unable to communicate, he faces unimaginable challenges—both physical and emotional.

With raw honesty, the author recounts his time in the hospital, sharing deeply personal experiences of fear, isolation, and the surreal hallucinations that offered him a strange escape. His story is punctuated by moments of humor, such as the unlikely companionship of a loud, cocaine-loving Irish roommate, and moments of deep introspection as he navigates his darkest days.

But The Dance is more than a tale of suffering—it's a story of survival, resilience, and the unyielding human spirit. As the author slowly regains his abilities through painstaking rehabilitation, he draws strength from his faith, his love for his son, and a simple but powerful promise: to one day dance with the woman he loves.

A testament to the power of hope, love, and faith, The Dance is an inspiring reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.


About the Author

Frank J. Visosky Jr. is a passionate storyteller and resilient survivor, drawing inspiration from his personal journey of overcoming central pontine myelinolysis and navigating life in a nursing home during the COVID-19 pandemic. With a deep connection to his roots in New York City, Frank's experiences are richly colored by his love for music, especially the vibrant rhythms of merengue and bachata, which he once danced to along Dyckman Street. A devoted husband and father, he made a promise to his future wife, Rose, during his recovery—a promise to one day dance again. His work captures the strength of the human spirit, the power of love, and the importance of family, often reflecting the cherished moments he spent with his son, like feeding

Nonfiction

Date Published: September 17, 2024

Publisher: MindStir Media

 

 

Is your child ready to launch into adulthood, or are they stuck on the runway?

 

Today, more young adults than ever are struggling to achieve independence. Over fifty percent of 18-29-year-olds are still living at home, and an alarming number leave home and cut ties with their parents. But what if there was a way to help your child become self-sufficient and independent while maintaining a strong, loving bond with you?

In this book, the author, a seasoned expert in the field, provides a comprehensive guide to achieving a successful launch. You'll learn the importance of practicing unconditional love to secure the relationship, even when fear, anxiety, guilt, or resentment threaten to block it. Through love and five other powerful practices-strengthening your relationship, apologizing, forgiving, showing backbone, and saying goodbye-you'll gain the tools and insights to support your child's journey to responsible independence.

Empower yourself with the knowledge to let go while sustaining a caring connection with your adult child. It's time to prepare for a launch that truly soars.

 

Launch Code is a beacon of wisdom and compassion for parents navigating the complexities of supporting grown-up children. With its reassuring tone and practical guidance, this book offers invaluable strategies for fostering open communication, setting healthy boundaries, and navigating the delicate balance between support and independence.

With its blend of empathy and practicality, Launch Code is an indispensable companion for any parent seeking guidance and reassurance in supporting their adult children, offering a comforting hand through the ups and downs of this transformative journey.

Joshua Coleman, Ph.D. Author, Rules of Estrangement: Why Adult Children Cut Ties and How to Heal the Conflict

 

I have had the pleasure of following Jack Stoltzfus and his books on parenting over the years. Jack's latest book, the Parents Launch Code: Loving and Letting Go of Our Adult Children, addresses the precarious period when children prepare to launchinto adulthood. His approach - the combination of unconditional love with "backbone" -- captures the meaning behind "tough love," a phrase I used to describe what I learned in the '60s working with young people on the streets of Harlem. Love and backbone are the formula for the difficult and necessary balance between compassion and resolve that parenting with integrity requires. This is an essential book for parents whose children are entering adulthood. "

Book Blitz: The Stars Rain Down by Glenn Thomas #scifi #sciencefiction #newbooks #giveaway #rabtbooktours @RABTBookTours
11:00 PM0 Comments

 

Who Owns You?,  Book One

 

Science Fiction

Date to be Published: October 11th

 

 

Set in the early 23rd century, THE STARS RAIN DOWN follows an android woman pursuing a renegade human. At the same time, he searches for his missing wife and child, abducted by alien pirates, and sold into slavery. Special Agent Catherine Mercer, an artificial intelligence and agent of Interplanetary Security (think FBI in space), is given the assignment to pursue and apprehend Rick McCabe, a freighter pilot suspected of illegally smuggling passengers to the free colony of Aranae, some 1300 light years from Earth. Rick, on the other hand, on route to Aranae, was attacked by pirates and separated from his pregnant wife, Sarah, who was captured. But, having come under the suspicion of IPS of illegally transporting passengers, Rick goes rogue and sets off to find Sarah while evading Catherine trying to capture him. Rick and his tech-savvy partner QR follow a trail of clues and tips that lead from one planet to another, from one hostile slave owner and alien race to more pirates and unsavory characters. Along the journey, Catherine learns that being human is more than possessing a flesh and blood body. The transitory body holds an eternal spirit that yearns to be free.



About the Author

Glenn Thomas’s life path has been a meandering one, setting new life goals at various points along the way, gaining skills in art, photography, film-making, driving, and ultimately, writing in screenplays and prose.  As a self-described “high-functioning daydreamer,” Glenn often finds contentment in self-imposed isolation, in conversation with characters only he sees and hears, in universes of his own creation.  Once in a while, he writes them down into scripts and novels to share with the world.

Glenn lives in the Los Angeles area and works as a driver for a major motion picture studio.  His first self-published work was a series of short Science Fiction stories called The Spiderboys of Aranae, which appeared in 2015.

In 1986, when Glenn was convinced he was at the start of a long and prosperous career as a visual artist, an idea for a sci-fi story came to him.  A guy loses his wife to space aliens, and he searches the galaxy to find her.  As a fan of the genre, Glenn sat down with paper and pencil to write the story, and two years later, No Longer Mourn for Me was finished.  It then sat on the shelf, unpublished, for nearly 35 years.  Glenn thought about that crudely executed early work, got ideas to improve it, and sat down at the computer for a rewrite.  The original story was completely gutted, retooled, and reborn with a new title: The Stars Rain Down.
