Learn the Ugly Truth about Mold and Find Out if Its Hiding in Your Home!- book by Guy Sylvester

If you have ever experienced unexplained respiratory problems, sinus issues or headaches, there is a possibility that you have mold contamination in your home or workplace. In his business as a mold inspector and environmental expert, Dog Ear Publishing author Guy Sylvester has become witness to this growing health epidemic. Surprisingly the information available to the general public regarding mold is incomplete, contradictory, and controversial. Many medical professionals are not prepared to diagnose their patients with mold-related illnesses and landlords are not held accountable for mold problems on their property. For those people who suffer from unexplained health problems, mold is a monster! And for many lawyers, landlords and medical professionals, mold is a myth.

In Mold, Myth or Monster, Sylvester uses simple terminology and clear examples to show you how to determine if there is mold growing in your home, where it might be hiding and how to stop it from spreading.

He includes real case studies from his experience to illustrate how mold can affect your health. Read about the woman who suffered from major breathing problems until Sylvester discovered a wall of mold hidden directly behind the headboard in her bedroom. There is also the family with young children who had been suffering from serious allergy symptoms, even pneumonia, since moving into their new house. When Sylvester inspected their home he found the brand new refinished basement where they spent most of their time was hiding a thick layer of toxic black mold! Unfortunately there are many unscrupulous “mold companies” out there that will charge you a lot of money and won’t solve your problem. Don’t become yet another victim of this unregulated and misunderstood industry! Arm yourself by reading Mold, Myth or Monster and get valuable advice, information, and resources on how to protect your family from mold contamination. This book is a must have for any home owner!

Poetry Book Reveals a Woman’s Private Thoughts Through Verse- book by Kay Salady

Poetry fans have a new reason to go to the bookstore – Kay Salady’s debut work, A Teardrop Fell. In this work, the Dog Ear Publishing author chronicles a series of circumstances and feelings from July 24, 2006, to Sept. 30, 2008, revealing the private thoughts of a woman through poetic verse. She leads readers on a life’s journey, seeking the greatest gift of all, which leads to wisdom.

In A Teardrop Fell, the author flexes her literary muscles, writing poetry that ranges from prose to couplets, rhyming selections and free-form verse. An index organized alphabetically by title provides a quick reference for those searching for a particular poem.

Poems include the emotional “Hopelessly Unkind,” “River of Pain” and “If I Could Hold You,” as well as the inspiring “Angels All Around,” “To See My Soul” and “Sacred Love.” Romance seekers will sigh over poems such as “Love Amid the Clover” and “A Teardrop Fell,” the title poem. The opening lines in “We Stopped Time” delight the ear: “We shared a moment; we stopped time. So clear and cool and crisp and fine. Stepped far beyond reality. I looked at you, you looked at me.”

This is the first book for Salady, who began her academic career studying English literature and stenography. She worked in real estate and civil engineering before becoming a poet. Salady is at work on her second book.

Decision to Donate Brings Physical, Emotional Pain to Real-life ER Doctor- book by Mark Stefanelli, M.D.

It starts with a phone call during a doctor’s busy day working in the Emergency Room in the rural Pacific Northwest – his mother has been diagnosed with end-stage liver disease and needs a transplant to survive. Over the next few months, it becomes clear a family donor is the only solution, but who will step up to the challenge?

In the Dog Ear Publishing title Pink Iguanas and Broken Promises, author Mark Stefanelli, M.D., describes his journey dealing with medical, emotional and family issues related to donating his liver to his mother and his battle to heal. He turns to Oriental medicine, confronting both its attributes and limitations, after realizing Western medicine has lost its purpose and turned into a “high value industry.”

In this true story, which reads like a novel with its cast of characters and messages, Stefanelli tells of his struggles with the medical system and how his knowledge of it was both a blessing and a curse. The story comes full circle when the physician returns – this time as a patient – to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center where he served as a Critical Care Fellow 15 years earlier.

Stefanelli is an Internal Medicine Physician who practices in rural emergency rooms in the coastal area of the Northwest. He enjoys outdoor activities with his wife and two children, but his experience has put his professional life in a different perspective.
