Featured Book: JOURNEY THROUGH A LAND OF MINOR ANNOYANCES by Al Kline

About Featured Book: JOURNEY THROUGH A LAND OF MINOR ANNOYANCES by Al Kline

After being diagnosed with three months to live, 20 year old misfit Chaz Chase decides a road trip will help him find the meaning of life–and along the way apologize to certain people for being a jerk. He adopts a dog as a traveling companion, but questions his own sanity when Max suddenly talks, claiming to be the reincarnation of a famous Hollywood director. Chaz meets many colorful characters along his journey, some bordering on hallucinogenic in the actions they perform and the wisdom they proclaim. And then comes Clitty, a pistol-packing femme fatale dreaming of Hollywood stardom. In the most important piece of the wisdom puzzle, Chaz falls in love. They drive to Salton Sea where a reincarnated Max directs the final scene of Chaz’s brief but quirky life.
Kirkus Reviews said: “Rambunctious from the get-go, this zany tale still has plenty of lessons to teach.”

Counteract the Fat: Discover how Fiber and Antioxidants can Counteract the Physiological Effects of Junk Foods by DeShond Barnes

Many of us love junk foods. What we don’t love are the medical conditions and weight gain that they are associated with. Research findings indicate that fiber and antioxidants can counteract the physiological effects of junk foods. This does not mean that we can eat unlimited amounts of fat every day. What it does mean is that we can have greater freedom in making food choices. “Counteract the Fat” is a compilation of these research findings, providing cutting edge information on how fiber and antioxidants can help prevent medical conditions and weight gain associated with high-fat and other unhealthy great-tasting foods. The MANY “Counteract the Fat” concepts discussed include:

☤ High-fat foods produce cholesterol-related acids that can clog arteries and raise cholesterol levels. Fiber counteracts that effect by nabbing cholesterol-related acids and removing them from our bodies, promoting healthy cholesterol levels and reducing our risk of heart disease.

☤ The excess calories in high-fat foods can increase our risk of obesity. Fiber counteracts that effect by nabbing calories before they can be stored as fat, making it harder for us to gain weight and reducing our risk of obesity.

☤ High-fat foods increase our exposure to “free radicals,” which damage human cells. Antioxidants counteract that effect by neutralizing free radicals, preventing and reversing cellular damage and reducing our risk of cancer, heart disease and other conditions.

☤ The excess calories in high-fat foods can increase our risk of obesity. Antioxidants counteract that effect by giving our bodies the energy needed to burn fat more efficiently, making it harder for us to gain weight and reducing our risk of obesity.

☤ High-fat foods can trigger heart attacks by causing blood clotting elements in the bloodstream known as “platelets” to become more adhesive and clump together, triggering the formation of abnormal blood clots in the heart artery. Fiber counteracts that effect by speeding blood clot-dissolving mechanisms, decreasing the likelihood that abnormal blood clots will lead to heart attacks.

☤ And MUCH, MUCH MORE!

About Featured Book: Keto for Life, 28 Day Fat-Fueled Approach to Weight Loss by Barbara Miller

This book is a bargain priced Kindle Countdown deal from January 14 through 18, 2021 with the price starting at 99 cents on the 14th and increasing each day. Grab it at the lowest price!

The Keto for Life Diet

First and foremost you will be given clear explanations as to what you should be eating and why, as well as, what you should not be eating and why. I believe that understanding why you keep gaining weight no matter how or what you do boils down to “what you eat.” This book will provide answers to the whys plus provide wonderful satiating recipes that are laid out for you each day to make it easy. There are over 125 recipes and you do not have to worry about the right ratios of fat, proteins and carbohydrates as I did it all for you. There are no counting calories or weighing portions, just prepare, eat and enjoy! Never diet again!

The low fat high carb diets are a disaster that have never worked and never will. Kick the tasteless fake foods to the curb and allow yourself to enjoy the satisfying flavors of real food. The ketogentic diet is the way humans were meant to eat. It is simply the right balance of the macronutrients, fat, protein, and carbohydrates. Eating high fat foods, low to medium protein and low carbohydrates is the formula to ultimate weight-loss. This is the opposite of what our government’s food pyramid tells us to do. I suffered for many years with irritable bowel syndrome, and it made my life absolutely miserable. Once I began eating the foods you will find in this book, all of my symptoms disappeared! The ketogentic diet will switch your body from burning sugar or glucose for fuel to burning fat. This process puts the body into what is known as ketosis. You will notice your energy levels stay stable throughout the day as you pull your body out of a yawn state. You should not have to spend your days with low energy, foggy thinking, and food cravings. The ketogentic lifestyle will give you back your life.

In 2015 Dr. David Ludwig of Harvard, along with Dr. Dariush Mazaffarian discussed their findings regarding low fat diets in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Dr. Mazaffarian declared, “Low-fat diets have had unintended consequences, turning people away from high-fat foods and towards foods rich in added sugars, starches, and refined grains. This has helped fuel the twin epidemics of obesity and diabetes in America. We really need to sing it from the rooftops that the low fat diet concept is dead. There are no health benefits to it.”

It Happened in Silence by Karla M. Jay

Set in a world where women of the KKK betray their neighbors, where horrors of unscrupulous foundling homes come to light, and buried mysteries are not all that hidden. It’s Georgia 1921. Mute since birth, fifteen-year-old Willow Stewart has one task to complete—to leave her Appalachian homestead and find a traveling preacher and her brother, Briar.
A haunting tale of family, friendship, injustice, resilience, and hope…In her evocative latest, the award-winning Jay takes a fascinating look at the interplay of social upheavals in Georgia in the early 1920s as she tells the story of a young girl’s struggles to reunite with her family. Jay remarkably depicts everyday life in the Appalachians, women’s roles in the KKK, and discrimination… but perhaps best of all is her vivid portrayal of the remarkable Georgia setting. Lovers of women’s fiction and historical fiction won’t want to miss this page-turner. ~ Prairies Book Review ★★★★★
‘An inspiring story of injustice and family loyalty set in turbulent 1920s Georgia. Powerfully written and totally unputdownable!…If you happen to be a fan of Laura Frantz’s Uncommon Woman or The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek by Kim Michele Richardson, this novel is for you. Enjoy! This book’s a gem!’ ~ Wishing Shelf ★★★★★

Targeted Age Group:: 18+

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I came across stories about women of the KKK, false imprisonment to help build cities, and "baby farms" and I had never read anything about them. Once I was immersed in the 1920's I knew I had a story that needed to be told.
