“WHEN LIFETIMES COLLIDE”

Author: Dorothy M. Dawson

Relationships are Karmic! The events presented in this book
not only supports this statement…but proves it. A must read.

Synopsis
:
This story explores the relative complexities of life, relationships, and reincarnation, implying a message about the capacity of the human spirit to overcome. The story implores that “forgiveness” is a major lesson in every lifetime.
When Lifetimes Collide, an unusual story of past lifetimes, the effects of karma from those other lifetimes. Story presents an account based on actual events that occurred in Southern California. It tells of experiences focused on three different people. One who has “visions” of past lifetimes; one who seems to be at the mercy of his past life habits and experiences and one who is buffeted by the winds of emotions and the world of spirit.
The premise of the story: everything we think, say and do, in every lifetime, creates karma, good or bad. The basis for living each lifetime is to have many opportunities to “rise above” the ordinary, our negative karma, to finally exit the eternal Wheel of Reincarnation.

"REPRISAL"


by: NICK MANION


Reprisal is a factually accurate, hard-hitting thriller that details espionage at its highest levels. The author spent 40 years working with Black Ops, and he delivers first-hand insight rarely seen by the public. Other novels on espionage in recent years have merely skimmed the surface of the subject, but this book blows it wide open. The author believes it's time for average citizens to learn the truth behind the veil and more about the brave men and women who risk their lives but never make the front page.

The story begins in 1968 when the author's team is sent on a highly sensitive covert mission in Southeast Laos. The mission is troubling and shocking; they must gather information regarding allegations of treason within the CIA itself. And soon the shock is magnified by the horror of seeing US POW's being tortured and killed by the North and South Vietnamese while our own "bad boys" watched!

She is admired by most… loved as a wife… needed as a mother… and is violently killed by an enemy. After tragedy strikes, however, it is her daughter that reflects the memory of her mother.

"Where True Peace Lies"
by: Rudy Pizarro

Reviewer’s comments: “The author's style is clever and creative (and) the story line is communicated effectively. Manuscript starts strong and holds my interest throughout. He has molded an uplifting story with an eclectic cast of characters and inspirational voice. There are strong messages to be shared here. I think it will appeal to a large audience of mature readers, both young and old, or of strong interest to a focused group. This is an author who has done his homework. I’m interested to see what he comes up with next."
