𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: Reflections on the Boulevard 📚 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿: L.J. Ambrosio ✍️ . .
🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰: “Reflections on the Boulevard” is a literary fiction written by the author LJ Ambrosio. Even though this book is a sequel to LJ Ambrosio’s A Reservoir Man, one could read it as a standalone also. Michael is a sixty-five-year-old protagonist. One day, he met a homeless man named Ron and Michael’s life changed since that. He allowed Ron to stay at his place because of the hard time Ron was having. Ron lost his father and the death of his father made her mother’s condition terrible.
The adventure begins with Ron and Michael on a cross-country road trip. They further went on a European tour that would open Michael’s eyes. Read this story to find out for yourself what Michael learnt on this tour.
This is a wonderful story about the friendship between the rich and a homeless man. There are mixed emotions throughout the book and that would warm the reader’s heart. The way Michael gave place to Ron in his home and heart taught me to be kind and helpful to those in need. The story is heart touching and well paced. Undoubtedly, I had a great time reading this book. I am looking forward to reading more books by the author.
🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰: I love reading memoirs. This time, I got my hands on Sara Ann Key’s book “The Journey”. Sara is a daughter of Geoffrey and Heather. She is always a daddy’s girl. She was never loved by anyone else, the way her father loved her. Many times, when Sara was a little girl, she felt special because of the things her dad did for her.
Sara’s parents moved a lot while she was growing up. Sara’s family didn’t see much of her father’s side of the family. At the age of 14, Sara felt ignorant and frightened of life and people. From there, her self-deprecation and lack of confidence journey started. In her twenties, Sara had a Persian love affair and later got closure from the man. This man was Sara’s first love but not her true love. Still, like us Sara needed closure and she finally had it.
Read this transformational journey of Sara to know how she healed her mind and body. We all can achieve our greatest potential. Sara’s story offers hope to the readers. It tells them that bad days don’t last forever and with courage, determination one can break generational curses too. This is a great memoir. Readers would take a lot from this book. I am grateful to the author for sharing her inspirational journey with others.
🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰: My Successful Failures written by Mr Nathan Loyd is a must read book by those who want to grow in life. In this book, the author has advised the readers to learn from their failures and move forward in life.
In this book, the author has shared that the secret to true success is to grow from your failures. The author has said a very right thing when he has written that “if we are getting criticized, we are making a difference in this world”. The author has highlighted the importance of Quiet Time every day or at least five days a week. “Whatever we focus on grows”. Nathan has explained how we think we don’t have enough time but in reality we don’t balance our time properly.
Our failures and experiences are valuable as they help us to grow. Even if we learn the lesson, we never lose. Before reading this book, I didn’t understand the title properly. But once I started reading it, the title made a lot of sense. Success doesn’t come without failures and when we learn from those failures, we get true success. The writing style of the author is nice. The narration is smooth and one could follow the book easily. Nathan has included many quotes in this book and I loved them all. This is a thought provoking read. Read and reflect on what you read. This book could transform your life and the way you see failures.

Q1. Hello, can you please introduce yourself? Readers would love to know more about you.
My early years were chaotic. We moved to many places, and had to deal with difficult situations. Things settled down by my early teens, and life became more normal. My relatives were always close, and that was a welcome support. I studied theology and physics. My first two books, Chaos Rising, and The Rhysu Alternative, are in The Erstallius Chronicles, the sci-fi series I began in 2015. I enjoy hiking, playing the guitar, and a good game of chess.

I read mostly Science Fiction in grade school; Frank Herbert, Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein, with an occasional foray into Early American literature; Stephen Crane’s The Red Badge of Courage is still fresh in my memory. In the Non-fiction arena, Paul A. Laviolette’s, Genesis of the Cosmos, and Secrets of Anti-gravity Propulsion, pulled me into the deep investigation of things not commonly known.
My journey through the Bible has been mostly academic, but I found the popular works of Michael S. Heiser and Gary DeMar very insightful.

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: H is for Hereford 📚 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿: Elizabeth Richards ✍️ . .
🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰: “H is for Hereford: A Little Cattleman’s First ABC Book” written by the author Elizabeth Richards and illustrated by Dall E Ai Program is an interesting Children’s Book. This is an alphabet book for cattle enthusiasts of all ages.
The author has included various cattle, their origin and uses. Dexter, Holstein, Kerry, Limousin, etc are the various types of cattle. Kids will learn the alphabets from A to Z or they can learn about different cattle.
The beautiful AI Watercolor images made this book more interesting. The Glossary given at the beginning of the book is helpful. It is an insightful read. I haven’t come across a book earlier with different cattle. Parents should add this book to their children’s bookshelf. I had a great time reading this book. Farm lovers would love this one for sure.
Q1. Hello, can you please introduce yourself? Readers would love to know more about you.
I am a Swiss native Life adventure spirit, based in California, and am a corporate consultant, international teacher and transformational speaker, life coach, and evolutionary consciousness guide. I help high-performers (or those aspiring to be) overcome achievers’ burnout, repair challenge relationships, and boost productivity. With expertise in performance and positive psychology and communication, I maximize individual and team performance in a way that creates whole-life success. My unorthodox approach blends wit and reflection, enabling personal and spiritual growth through new habits, next-level mindset, and boundaries. In my new groundbreaking book, “Gliding You Home: A Dolphins Dream of a New Earth,” we explore unlocking spiritual potential for fulfillment. As an evolutionary guide, I help individuals from all walks of life. Shared insights and teachings open new pathways for change and help individuals tap into their spiritual potential, creating greater unity on Earth.
Q2. What were the key challenges you faced while writing your book “GLIDING YOU HOME – A Dolphins Dream of A New Earth”?
Once I was able to get out of the way, the book and Dolphin’s wisdom pretty much flowed through me like a wave, and sometimes what felt like a gush of water. LOL. The Dolphins’ energy is very loving and playful, but simultaneously quite directive. With that said, taking consistent time to become meditatively still and let go of the intellectual chatter and corrections thereof, but simply surrender and trust the process became a daily practice, and leaped to another level I had not known before.
Q3. What books or authors have most influenced your own writing?
The teachings of Jesus Christ. Eckhart Tolle, in The Power Of Now, Barbara Marciniak, in The Bringers of the Dawn, and Earth, Abraham Hicks, Jeff Foster, in The Deepest Acceptance, Oriah, in The Invitation, and Celestine Prophecy during my early beginnings, by James Redfield. Khalil Gibran, in The Prophet etc.. And all those who chose to speak up, and whose written and spoken words became the action of their teaching, including my own parents.
Q4. What’s your favourite spot to visit in your own country? And what makes it so special to you?
I’m very fortunate where I grew up, as there is lots of variety and a place for nearly every mood. Nature’s earthy and vibrant landscape shines through the entirety of Switzerland. Lucerne is a very beautiful city, and Bern, the capital of Switzerland, still has the aura of ancient times, with its cobblestone streets, going back to when it was founded in 1191, and joining the Swiss Confederation in 1353. The internationally known village of Zermatt, and home of the Matterhorn, has amazing hiking trails, and offers a paradise for those enjoying skiing and outdoor adventures, with gastronomy and nightlife to match. In my early teens, I found my first moments of connection and belonging, peace and stillness, overlooking the mountains, in the forest right above where I grew up in Brig-Glis.
Q5. What inspired you to write the book ‘GLIDING YOU HOME – A Dolphins Dream of A New Earth’?
This journey has been solely guided through the profound love and wisdom of the dolphin consciousness (and my willingness to surrender to ego constraints), whereby spiraling-me-open to another dimension and become their vessel during a time of debilitating symptoms, feeling that I had reached my physical limits, and the dolphins’ resonance had picked me up and glided me to the other side returning to never be the same. Still connected to the joyful dolphin consciousness, and despite hesitation but their persistence, I agreed to help them share their wisdom and secret knowledge with you, too.
Q6. How long did it take you to write your book ‘GLIDING YOU HOME – A Dolphins Dream of A New Earth’?
From start to publishing, it was about a year. Just as soon as I was able to hold their energy and become the funnel for their dynamic and vast energetics to come through. The outline and topic titles appeared immediately. They were very clear about what they needed to say, and that it was a book about evolution and unity consciousness, desiring to reach as many as possible.
Q8. Tell us about the process of coming up with the book cover and the title ‘GLIDING YOU HOME – A Dolphins Dream of A New Earth’?
The dolphins gave me the title from the get-go. The book cover itself needed to encompass color and vibration (including all the illustrations on the inside of the book, closely working with an artist depicting the words, energetic activations, movement, and flow). Including the feeling of the world as One, belonging, and feeding on the premise of interconnected, interrelated, and interwoven communication and unity consciousness among all sentient beings.
Q9. When writing a book how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
Relatability, despite the subject matter, is always very important, and the ability to draw in the reader to become part of the “story,” instead of staying on the outside while reading it. The invitation, to dive deep into the calling of one’s own soul and evolution (your own and humanities evolution), for the greater good of your own life and all those whom you serve. Taking breaks and being easy about it, while creating a certain playfulness (meaning, not taking it all too seriously), allows it to elevate to a higher plane without getting too heady.
Q10. What is the most valuable piece of advice you’ve been given about writing?
Trust What comes forth or pours out effortlessly and easily through The voice of your higher and intuitive-self and gut wisdom.
Please introduce yourself so that the readers will get to know you better.
Hello, my name is Faith Spencer. I have authored multiple children’s books, however, “CLUCK THAT” holds a special place in my heart. From a young age, I have been passionate about storytelling and art. In fact, during fourth grade, I even attended art classes at the University of Irvine. Despite earning an associate degree in Graphic Design and a Ph.D. in Marketing, I never imagined myself becoming a children’s book author. However, as a grandmother and homeschool teacher, my perspective on life has changed. It has always been a dream of mine to write books, although I originally envisioned myself writing a novel. ha ha .. In 2018, I wrote “Discover the Power of “I Am”: Children’s Mantras” and from that moment, I realized that my passion lies in both writing and art.
What is your inspiration behind your book “Cluck That”?
The book Cluck That features several sources of inspiration. The character of Sassy was influenced by my daughter Ashley’s attitude, while the idea of raising a chicken came from my son and daughter-in-law. There’s even a point in the book where a sign reading WPFRD appears, which stands for the fire department where my son works. The Polakof House mentioned on the sign is the direction of their home, and Kona is their German shepherd who appears at the end of the story with my daughter-in-law. The motivation to bring the story to life is my granddaughter’s love for chickens and her strong sense of self at just four years old. I wanted to address the issue of bullying after my son with autism was attacked by his aggressor and had to be pulled from public school to be homeschooled. It was enjoyable to draw inspiration from my family for this book.
When did you realize you want to be an author?
As a child, I had a fascination with writing that I didn’t fully understand until later. I recall being on a movie set with my parents, watching as my dad explained the reasoning behind the lines he had written for the actors. It was then that I realized how much vision he had for his work. Despite this, I never considered writing seriously because my sister and I would act out our elaborate storylines while playing with Barbie dolls. That was our outlet for creative thinking. Looking back, I wish I had kept some of those stories as inspiration.
Please tell us something about your book “Cluck That”?
“Cluck That” is an empowering story that aims to help readers realize that it’s okay to be different in our own unique ways. We should always stay true to ourselves and be authentic, as this will help others appreciate and like us for who we truly are.
For which age group is your book “Cluck That” suitable for?
Initially, I wrote the book for children between the ages of 5-10. However, it seems that people of all ages are finding it enjoyable. I had the pleasure of reading it to a teenage boy who was kind enough to listen. As I read, I observed his face lighting up with giggles and smiles. My husband also shared it with his coworkers, who appreciated my choice of words.
What is your favorite Quote?
Wow, that’s a tough question. I thoroughly enjoyed writing this book and had a lot of fun doing it. However, if I had to choose one that I believe would resonate with readers of all ages, it would be “I love this farm and I am ok to be me!”
What do you like the most about your country?
I am grateful to live in a country where women are given the freedom to express their opinions. I appreciate the existence of laws that protect our right to free speech. Unlike Mary Ann Evans, who had to conceal her identity as George Eliot, I’m fortunate to feel comfortable using my own name.
What suggestion do you want to give to parents of little readers regarding a reading habit?
A great way to promote reading skills in children is by inviting them to read with you every day. When reading a book with a large print, it can be helpful to point out each word as you read. Repeating a child’s favorite book can also be beneficial, as well as reading stories with rhyming words and repeating lines. Discussing new vocabulary words can also help expand their knowledge. Books that include bright pictures can help keep your child interested. LASTLY Take your time with them because they won’t be small forever. You’ll miss these moments one day.
What does literary success look like to you?
Success, to me, is receiving a copy of my book in the mail and reading it to my beloved grandchildren. It’s a moment of pure joy when they exclaim, “You wrote this for me!” and I get to reply with confidence, “You Betcha!”
Lastly, who is your inspiration in life and why?
Wow, this is a tough question. Although my parents have always been a great support for me, I have to admit that it is Judy Garland who has helped me through all the ups and downs of life. It’s her quote “Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.”
🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰: “Cluck That: It’s the tale of a chick coming of age in fowl land” written and illustrated by Faith Spencer is a must read book.
The story features a chick named Sassy. She is a curious little chick and different from the other chickens. Sassy was worried if she would ever fit in. One day, she was taken to Hen Hilton where many other animals were there. A big red hen named Henrietta was quite popular on the farm. Sassy didn’t feel welcomed there. She always felt as if she was a new chick there.
Read this story to know what will happen with Sassy. The cover photo of the book is eye-catching. The language used in the book is lucid. The storyline is interesting. I appreciate the storytelling skills of the author. This book teaches a valuable lesson to the little readers which would be helpful to them for their entire life.
It would be interesting to read more books by the author.
