New book release: ‘The Amber Menhir’ by Jonathan N. Pruitt

‘The Amber Menhir’ will be released October, 4, 2023. Photo: Amazon

Jonathan N. Pruitt is a lifelong educator, a former scientific researcher, and a provocative fantasy author. Rising from humble beginnings in a rural, economically disadvantaged county in Florida, he skyrocketed to academic success, earning a PhD at the youthful age of 24. Pruitt’s journey took him from the concert halls as a child prodigy pianist to the globally recognized halls of esteemed universities including the University of Pittsburgh, Princeton University, and the University of California, Santa Barbara. His life experiences—from living in diverse corners of the world like South Africa, Namibia, Australia, and Canada, to navigating the wild landscape of his career—richly inform his narratives. Pruitt’s storytelling defies reality yet resonates with emotional truth. He makes readers question the differences between good and evil and the murky area between the two. With his debut novel “The Amber Menhir,” Pruitt delivers biting humor, deep human insights, and a unique scientist’s perspective. Readers visit a modern-day, grimdark fairy tale where reality bends and twists. Jonathan N. Pruitt’s metamorphosis from a prodigious scientific mind into a fantasy author is a testament to reinvention. Avoiding the usual expectations of fantasy by way of satire, humor, and a race of nefarious evil cats, it is the first in Jonathan Pruitt’s The Shadows of the Monolith series and arrives this October from Spinner Loom Press. It is available now for pre-order on Amazon. (Black Château, 2023)

“The Amber Menhir” – With each new dawn, the celestial body known only as ‘Calamity’ draws closer – and with it the end of the world. Humanity’s only hope from oblivion rests in the menhirs, towering bastions of scholarship and imagination which cast long shadows across the lands. The scholars within the menhirs devote themselves selflessly to the discovery of new magic that will help avert the impending apocalypse … or so the masses have been made to understand.

In a society divided between those with occult potential and lay citizens, Tara Langcraw is recruited into the Amber Menhir with great interest. The long-awaited heiress of a bloodline bearing the rarest of the six magical disciplines, time manipulation, she is expected to flourish within this noble citadel of learning, as are her friends and fellow recruits, Roland Ward and Peony Bianchi. They soon find, however, that those who fail to meet expectations, or who dare to challenge the prevailing order, put more than their marks on the line. For the menhir squirms with rivalries, and those who stand against the status quo may not stand for very long.

Having earned the title of the world’s most infamous spider biologist, Pruitt has penned a grimdark fantasy lampooning the academic and scientific communities, while also offering an immersive, diverse, and fast-paced story. What exactly is a Menhir? “Found across the globe, Menhirs are mysterious, ancient, imposing monoliths that prove evidence of a civilization’s existence. They’re often the subject of superstition, just like the magical institutions that make up this world. Whether they stand as pinnacles of grandeur and discovery, or blemishes of political pestilence will be up to the reader,” explains Pruitt.

‘The Protectress’ is the new novel by Ayura Ayira. Photo: Amazon

If you like ancient world historical romance and romantic erotica, today’s new book release is just for you. “The Protectress” by Ayura Ayira features a strong female character, a demigoddess, who wages war on Earth. It opens with Tilelli, the Protectress, leading her soldiers in an epic battle. After reading the sample, the language appears lyrical with vivid metaphors: “Ever the graceful killer, she watched and waited, expecting them to say something. No one did, death had already stolen their words;” and there is plenty of battle violence. *Disclaimer: This book contains violence, graphic language, and sexual content and is intended for mature readers. It is available on Amazon, Goodreads, Audible, and other booksellers.

Ayura Ayira is a melting pot author who, with a masterful blend of genres, effortlessly spins captivating tales that empower, uplift, and celebrate the enduring power of strength, love, and diversity. Her books delve into dark content and feature characters from diverse social, economic, and racial backgrounds, often set in international locations. In her new book “The Protectress,” a demigoddess wages a war that spawns betrayal and the loss of her divine powers. (Ayura Ayira, 2023)

“The Protectress” – a demigoddess, descended from a long line of demigoddesses, is banished to Earth to safeguard humanity from a looming destiny of destruction. She finds solace and refuge in the arms of a mysterious stranger—a mortal. With unwavering faith that her loyal troops will orchestrate her daring escape, the Protectress counts on her return to the secure embrace of her palace. Yet, with each passing day, she finds herself increasingly drawn to this handsome man, surpassing the bounds of prophecy. The weight of duty and legacy occupy her thoughts, but her body hungers for something else. If she is not careful, her heart may soon follow, and how would the Gods judge her actions then?

Book review: ‘From Food to Grave: The Link Between Food, Water & Chronic Diseases’ by Marc St. Omer & David Daniel

‘From Food To Grave’ will be released October 2, 2023. Photo: Amazon

Marc St. Omer is chef-in-charge and chief principal of Foodeva. He has spent the past three decades perfecting his skill and creating authentic Jamaican Caribbean Fusion cuisine since he graduated from the Art Institute of New York City. He was named one of the top chefs for Jamaican Jerk Chicken and other Jerk dishes by the Journal, a prominent New York publication. He was also featured in the James Bread Foundation magazine for his exquisite delicacies and milestone projects to shape the face of the nutritious food industries in the world. David Daniel is the Wellness Content Strategist, Curator, and Editor at Foodeva. They are co-authors of the upcoming new book “From Food to Grave: The Link Between Food, Water & Chronic Diseases” where they write about how food and water can affect our bodies and cause chronic diseases. If you are genuinely concerned about your health and are open to learning more about this connection, consider this book. It will be available on their website beginning October 2, 2023.

“From Food to Grave: The Link Between Food, Water & Chronic Diseases” by Marc St. Omer and David Daniel is composed of six chapters including The Emergence of Ultra-processed Foods and Their Effects on Health, Water’s Effects on General Health, and Diets & Exercises For Healthy Living.

In this book, you will:

  • take a journey into the anti-processed food movement
  • examine how our eating habits affect our health
  • learn about the growing popularity of organic and unprocessed food
  • discover nature’s amazing healing abilities
  • set out on a path to a more wholesome and unprocessed way of feeding your body.

The goal is to present the best choices for losing weight and getting enough vitamins and minerals as well as promoting a healthy lifestyle. It “discusses the decline of today’s diet as a result of our fast-paced lifestyles and the need to pause, reflect, and commit to our health.” In the Introduction, they write that when we eat pleasant tasting foods, it releases a dopamine rush that promotes the behavior that caused that ‘feel good’ feeling. So if eating delicious food causes a rush, we become addicted to that rush, and therefore keep eating food that tastes good, even if it is not good for us: “the more processed food you consume, the more you will desire it.” The cultural shift in today’s modern world has made unhealthy foods more readily available. Other topics include modern diet trends, the effects of today’s fast life on our eating habits, diets and exercises for healthy living, and much more.

When it comes to learning about nutrition, exercise, and healthy living, you can never get too much information. What makes this book different is that it also shines a light on how water affects our bodies and the dangers of water contamination on the community and the environment. Highlights include Chapter Four: Water’s Effects on General Health– an in-depth examination of water contamination, its importance to humanity, how to treat water contamination, and the efforts from leaders, organizations, and others to solve the issue of water contamination; and Chapter Five: Food & The Timeless Teachings of the Classics – examines the healing ability of herbs, the health benefits of organic food and how it benefits the community and the environment. Poor eating habits have created an increase in medical issues like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, dementia, and cancer and the authors do an excellent job of explaining the long terms effects and how better eating habits can help. They use language that is easy to understand while the tone is educational without being patronizing. Especially helpful is the chapter on maintaining a healthy diet with examples of different diet plans and exercise recommendations. Overall, “From Food to Grave: The Link Between Food, Water & Chronic Diseases” is an outstanding reference guide on the effects and benefits benefits of dietary life choices. It is recommended for readers who appreciate health and wellness information.  

“This literary work thoroughly examined the notable detrimental consequences of consuming unhealthy and manufactured food products on both persons and communities, highlighting the urgent need for modifying current practices.”

Book review: ‘Freeborn: Genesis’ by Steven Calkum

‘Freeborn: Genesis’ by Steven Calkum. Photo: Amazon

Steven Calkum was born in 1967 and grew up on a small ranch in East Central Colorado. He earned BS and MS degrees and worked in natural resources for 13 years before becoming disabled in 2011. A voracious reader, he created his own style by rewriting drafts until he would want to read his own work. He remarried in 2016 and plans to be a househusband and work toward a career as a writer/storyteller in addition to raising more children. He currently lives in Wyoming with the youngest of his children from his first marriage. His book “Freeborn: Genesis” is book one of the Freeborn saga. It is the story of Freeborn, a half human and half elven who learned from birth that though he can live among humans and elven peoples, he belongs to neither. (Amazon, 2023)

“Freeborn” – “Half of one world, half of another and anathema to both.” That is what Freeborn has heard all his life. Tishamon, the elven woodsman also known as The Long Walker, took him in when he was born and is the only person who accepts and respects Freeborn as he is. The story begins with Prologue: The Blizzard Birth as a pregnant young slave girl, a Copper Elf, ends up at Tishamon’s doorstep asking for help. She manages to deliver a healthy boy but she does not survive and pleas Tishamon to take care of her son and name him Freeborn. As Freeborn grows up, he and Tishamon travel the Shattered Empire. Tishamon helps Freeborn learn the rules and customs of the Empire’s many peoples, as well as the dangers of the world. An epic saga fantasy novel, it is divided into 58 chapters and follows Freeborn’s many adventures, battles, disappointments, and lessons learned along the way. Join Freeborn as he grows from boyhood to manhood and explores his expansive world.

When the real world gets to be too much, there is nothing better than getting lost in a fantasy novel filled with imaginary worlds, epic battles, and the different inhabitants of these worlds: elves, dwarves, giants, and more. “Freeborn” is definitely one of these novels. It combines a coming of age novel and a fantasy epic and brings readers along as Freeborn grows into the man he is meant to be. Tishamon, his guardian, is centuries old and teaches him survival skills but rarely gives rewards or compliments because “If you lived, that was your reward. If you didn’t, that was your penalty.” The author’s imagination is extensive, as evidenced in the detailed world building and the different societies in those worlds. The map at the beginning is a good idea, but in a Kindle, it is hard to see the details. Even though the language is simple, it is descriptive: “Freeborn swallowed the scream clawing up his throat and drew his sword with a trembling hand” and makes the action come alive throughout the pages. The battles scenes are written in such vivid detail that it is hard not to get immersed in them: “the goblinoid was so heavily muscled and had such thick bones that the arrows were stopped before they could hit anything vital.” Since this is Freeborn’s story, the character development is focused on his life as he grows through the years. Overall, “Freeborn” is a thrilling fantasy adventure. Despite the target demographic being young readers, it should appeal to anyone who appreciates epic sagas similar to the Lord of the Rings.

“We choose, consciously or unconsciously, to react to events in a certain way, for good or ill. The course of a person’s life is charted by those decisions.”

The topic of mental health is essential but unfortunately it is also taboo. It is rarely spoken about and those self imposed barriers need to be broken down sooner rather than later. Much of our present trauma and habitual self-sabotaging behavior stems from our unhealed inner child, an unhealed past that subconsciously extends into our present and future, but it does not have to be this way.

Why wait, when we can begin to work on ourselves today?! It is available on Amazon in Kindle and paperback formats. 

This is a small and easy to read reference guide. The format makes it easy to go back and re-read a particular section at your own convenience. Takeya S. Garner shares her personal experiences with anxiety so that readers can realize that they are not alone. While doing research to find out why she was undergoing so much anxiety and how to deal with it, she uncovered helpful information which she is now sharing with readers. She breaks it down into ten phases. These include Phase 2: Take Care of Yourself – focuses on practicing self care, which builds resilience and helps you “bounce back from setbacks,” and engaging in creative activities which help improve mood and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression; and Phase 6: Find Your Supportive Circle – reiterates the importance of having a supportive circle of either close friends or a therapist, counselor, or other mental health professional.
