Army Officer’s Life Devastated by Aftermath of Serving in Cambodia; Ed Mooney Releases New Novel

Dog Ear Publishing releases “Tears for Cambodia” by Ed Mooney.

Author Ed Mooney paints a vivid portrait of a man troubled by nightmares of his time in 1970s Cambodia in this new book released by Dog Ear Publishing. Officer Max Donatello’s life is irreparably changed due to his inability to deal with his past.

Lt. Colonel Max Donatello left the military decades ago, but his experiences serving in Cambodia never left him. As the story in this new novel relays, his beloved wife, Emily, left him after years of marriage because he refused to share his pain or get professional help that might allow him to move beyond the trauma of his past.  Now Max and his children, Chris and Melissa, are grieving Emily’s untimely death, and Max finds himself reliving past mistakes and looking for a way to make his future (and his relationships with his children) better.

For years, Emily had urged Max to go back to Cambodia, to face the nightmares head on and possibly overcome them. Max resisted, but now he feels compelled to revisit the country that was nearly destroyed by the Khmer Rouge so many years ago. Max’s story is told in flashback, as he relives his former life while visiting the Cambodia of today. Max plans to spend nearly a month in Southeast Asia; will he be able to put the horrors that haunt his dreams to rest, or will they overcome him, destroying his foundering relationship with his family?

Tears for Cambodia is a sympathetic portrait of an officer helplessly following orders, even though he knows they will result in tragedy. Max’s pain and the courage with which he faces his demons are compelling, and readers will be rooting for Max and his redemption.

This is the first novel for author Ed Mooney, who drew upon his personal experience in Cambodia as well as the experiences of a number of other men. Max is created from a composite of these recollections, creating a fascinating first-hand view of a tour in 1970s Cambodia.

Siblings Share Love of Poetry in New Book

Dog Ear Publishing releases Pearls Beneath The Rind by Richard Seldin and Carole R. Seldin-Bolinski.

A brother and sister share their poems in this new, unique collection released by Dog Ear Publishing.

Even siblings who have lived vastly different lives in different places can sometimes be surprised by their similarities. Richard Seldin and his sister, Carole R. Seldin-Bolinski, grew up with more than the usual dose of sibling rivalry and estrangements.  They discovered they shared a love of writing poetry when both unknowingly entered the same poetry contest. More than a decade later, they have collaborated on this new book of poems that shows some writing similarities but from sharply distinct perspectives.

Pearls Beneath The Rind demonstrates the divergent ways two siblings have experienced themselves, their relationships and environment, cooperating in writing as they worked toward an improved relationship. Carole’s work often describes the outer world and nature and is filled with visual details even when describing a relationship. A number are so visually compelling they could be turned into paintings. Richard’s poems, on the other hand, focus on the play of the mind in its articulation of ideas, yearning for intimacy and dream states.

Carole’s poem, “Winter in Chino Valley,” paints a clear picture of the valley in its austere bleakness: “The daily scenes don’t change: naked tumbleweed gathering in barbed clumps, icy tree limbs bending in the strain of winter.” And in “Intended” she employs nature to highlight the ironies of love: “Although I intended to love with breath of butterfly and length of anaconda . . . I have loved with breath of skunk and length of ant.” In “Waiting for the Word” Richard ponders the loss of creativity: “It seems everything is moving only from the outside out and not from the inside out or even the outside in. So that lines drop like sand bags on a bare floor.” And his poem “Sunday Night” sings his desire for connection: “Tonight I long for your breath on my heart, a guitar string in the wind, to roll and tumble in the gush of love.”

Kirkus Reviews has described the book as a “smart, unusual collection of poetry with honed, pleasant surprises.” And Carol Christy White, President of the Arizona State Poetry Society, writes: “Reading these poems was like listening in on a conversation between Richard and Carole after a long separation . . . . The balance of observations of what is with what could have been and might be is poignant and so human.”

Richard Seldin is a freelance writer who has published short fiction and nonfiction in English and Chinese and translated Chinese novellas and short stories. For many years he worked as a lawyer for the U.S. government, focusing on international relations and trade. Carole “CR” Seldin-Bolinski has published short mystery stories, flash fiction and poetry. In 2010 she won the Oregon State Poetry Association’s new poet’s category for “The Car” and recites poems with others as part of The Mad Women Poets of Prescott. She is currently working on another book of poetry, “I Don’t Want To Die In Chino Valley.”

Jennifer Palk Shares Time-Saving Recipes from A to Z in New Cookbook

Dog Ear Publishing releases “Sgt. Potter’s Homecookin’ with Short-Cuts” by Jennifer Palk.

A former Air Force member shares recipes she honed while on the job and as a single mom in this new book released by Dog Ear Publishing. The recipes provide short cuts to home-style cooking, something working parents may have to do without because they don’t have enough time.

Imagine eating a home-cooked meal that takes a fraction of the time it normally would take to prepare. That’s the inspiration behind this new cookbook, created by a former Air Force member – known by most as Sgt. Potter – who treated not only her young sons but fellow flyers to homemade baked goods and meals. This single mom put their feedback to good use, learning short-cuts that allowed her to create delicious, nutritious meals and desserts while still having time to spend with her boys.

In “Sgt. Potter’s Homecookin’ with Short Cuts,” Jennifer Palk (formerly Sgt. Potter) shares knowledge she’s gained thanks to her time in the Air Force and years of baking with her family as a young girl. From Andrew’s Chocolate Mint Cookies and Apple Butter to Zack’s Apple Jack Cookies and Zucchini Bread, this family friendly cookbook arranged in alphabetical order offers something for everyone. Entrees include such offerings as Calzones, Dad’s BBQ Ribs, Easy Parmesan Chicken and Roberts Chili. Diabetic-friendly recipes include Apple Pie Cake, Banana Pudding, Carrot Snack Cake and Sherry’s Peach Cobbler. Even pets will find something to like with recipes for homemade dog biscuits and holiday dog treats.

Author Jennifer Palk served in the U.S. Air Force for 17 years, most of it as a single mother with young boys. She and her family live in Baxter, Tenn. She began compiling the material for the book when friends asked for her recipes.

Jeffrey Morris’ Debut Novel Takes Walk on the Wild Side

Dog Ear Publishing releases “…Won’t Come Home” by Jeffrey Morris

A modern-day nomad scarred by family and drugs works to get sober in this new book released by Dog Ear Publishing. Staying sober – never an easy task – means facing issues he has avoided his whole life.

Jake Preston, a 22-year-old drifter, walking along Route 99 near Fresno in California, hasn’t been home since he took off during spring break of his senior year in high school. Jake, who sports a scraggy beard, greasy blond hair and shabby clothes, stars in this debut novel about a drifter still feeling the effects of his mother’s death seven years earlier, and subsequent arguments with his father, medication, psychiatrists and hospitalization. This coming-of-age tale shadows the ups and downs of Jake’s life as he works to survive the best he knows how.

 “…Won’t Come Home,” set in the San Joaquin Valley, Wyoming oilfields and Texas Gulf Coast, offers an inside look at the psyche of a young man living with the double demons of drugs and alcohol, working jobs just to get enough money to survive and get his next fix. When he ends up in a relationship, things become too much to handle, and he hits the road again, lured by the siren call of living only for himself. It’s not easy living this way, and the consequences eventually take their toll. A timely visit from Jake’s sister prevents a desperate act, but can Jake crawl back from the abyss that has become his life and face family issues and responsibilities he has run from his entire life? The conversational style and intricate detail highlight the humanity of this compelling first novel about a man challenged to shoulder his responsibilities and do the right thing.

Author Jeffrey Morris served in the U.S. Navy before studying engineering and then English at Ohio State University. He worked in research and development, as well as in manufacturing, and earned a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in English from SUNY Cortland. He left a job with a Colorado utility company so he could spend more time writing. Morris has three children, and he and his second wife, Jean, live in Colorado. He is already working on his second book.

Psychiatrist Helps Veterans Tap Into New Treatments for PTSD; David Fohrman Releases New Book

Dog Ear Publishing releases “Traumatic Stress Recovery: Helping Those Traumatized by Selfless Service” by David Fohrman.

An expert in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder shares information in layman’s terms about the disorder – and potential treatments — in this new book released by Dog Ear Publishing.

Although soldiers train and prepare for every mission to ensure their greatest chance for survival, there is no all-encompassing method to prepare for their minds for the effects of trauma. This new book, based on years of clinic and basic research, offers a roadmap to recovery for veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and their helpers. The author, Dr. David Fohrman, created the stress resiliency program while serving as chief of mental health in the 1^st Armored Division.

“Traumatic Stress Recovery: Helping Those Traumatized by Selfless Service” is divided into three sections covering PTSD, a debilitating disorder that can affect veterans and their families for years – and even decades – after they’ve left the service. The first section gives readers essential information about the psychological and biological causes of PTSD, as well as its connection to suicide. The second section describes a six-step, competency-based program veterans can use to decrease the impact of PTSD-type problems. The third section focuses on what communities can do to help veterans and others at risk of developing PTSD, including challenging assumptions on what it means to have the disorder, what it means to be “cured” and what it means to be “resilient.”

This valuable resource offers insights into PTSD and debunks popular myths, such as only weak-minded people can develop the disorder. In fact, the opposite is true. Strong, compassionate people who perform to the best of their abilities develop the disorder following a traumatic event precisely because they care so passionately about their own lives and that of their fellow soldiers. All hope is not lost for those who suffer from PTSD if they have a plan and help from professionals, family and friends. As the author writes, “even veterans with chronic PTSD symptoms can learn essential skills to help them recover their compassion for – and their capacity for trust and closeness with – themselves and others.” This book is just an overview of the types of exercises veterans can use to decrease both the severity and intensity of PTSD-type symptoms. A companion book, “Traumatic Stress Recovery: Workbook,” available through www.tsrexperts.com offers additional practical exercises.

Dr. David Fohrman, founder of Traumatic Stress Recovery, has more than 12 years of experience teaching resiliency techniques to military and civilian settings. The board-certified child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist has received numerous awards, including the Kosovo Campaign Ribbon, Alpha Omega Alpha and America’s Top Psychiatrists in 2006. He helped thousands ofactive duty, National Guard, veterans, and family members with his program since 2008.

Calico Cat Has Life-Changing Magical Adventure in New Children’s Book by Chrysie Shaw

Dog Ear Publishing releases “The Cat and the Goldfish” by Chrysie Shaw.

A dip in a fish pond leads to a surprising encounter in this new children’s book released by Dog Ear Publishing.

When a pretty little calico cat with a funny-sounding voice takes part in a magical adventure, anything can happen. Sasquatch, who stars in this new illustrated children’s book, loves to sit by the fish pond and look at the fish swimming below the pink water lilies. When she gets too close to the edge one day and falls in, she has the surprise of her life when she turns into a mercat and encounters a talking goldfish. What happens next will change her life.

“The Cat and the Goldfish” features a whimsical, magical tale about Sasquatch, a real-life cat who arrived at the author’s home as a tiny kitten. Sasquatch, who has a gray coat with patches of tan and white on her face, paws and tummy, is just as much a character and happy cat as the fictional cat who frolics in the pond. Colorful cartoon illustrations by Kezzia Crossley add to the appeal of the book. It’s geared toward 5- to 8-year-olds but also works well as a read-aloud story for adults to share with children.

Author Chrysie Shaw is a longtime animal lover, having grown up in southeastern Montana surrounded by animals. She worked for almost 30 years as a registered nurse before retiring. Shaw now lives near the Rocky Mountains in southern Colorado, once again surrounded by animals. Kezzia Crossley, a freelance illustrator, lives in British Columbia, Canada.

Meditation Guide Breaths Life into Self-Exploration; Kathryn Samuelson Releases New Book

Dog Ear Publishing releases “Opening the Heart: Meditations on How to Be” by Kathryn Samuelson.

A life coach and spiritual seeker shares her methods for meditating and exploring the inner self in this new book released by Dog Ear Publishing.

Meditation is one way to achieve inner peace and healing. This new book provides a tool for people who want to deepen their meditative experience and bring their hearts’ stories into the light so they can live in what author Kathryn Samuelson calls “a mindful and heartful” way, fully exploring the perceived dualities of life.

“Opening the Heart: Meditations on How to Be” offers 56 distinctive meditation images, corresponding texts and exercises to use along with the images and texts. The author’s goal is to help others bring openness into their life and heart, prepare the way for a journey unlike any other, learn how to travel into the heart with ease and build a new relationship with themselves. The text and companion meditation images allow readers to contemplate the duality of life, from the smallest quantum reality to the infinite universe. For instance, one meditative phrase implores “Go slowly. Take your time,” while its companion image reads “Embrace the swiftness of change.”

Expanded meditative prose, along with the exercises, facilitates inner exploration and consideration of how to live in relation to the world, families, friends, oneself and the divine. Vibrant nature photographs by David Steiner and dedicated space in the book to chronicle experiences through journaling, drawing and creating collages add to the hands-on aspect of learning to live in hope and from the heart instead of in competition with one another.

Author Kathryn Samuelson was born and raised in Illinois, graduating from the University of Illinois College of Law. She practiced law in Illinois for more than 26 years before moving to Massachusetts, where she began working as a psychic and life coach. She has a professional coaching certification from the University of New Hampshire. Samuelson, a longtime poet and meditator, has led workshops based on “Opening the Heart.” She enjoys producing mixed media art. Linda Lewis is co-creator of the book.

New Book by Frank Layman Promotes New Ways To Think about Thinking

Dog Ear Publishing releases “Success Through Logical Thinking” by Dr. Frank Layman.

A healer of the body turns his attention to the mind in this new book released by Dog Ear Publishing. Physical therapist and orthopedic specialist Frank Layman provides insights on thinking logically instead of turning to emotion to promote personal success.

Achieving success requires dedication and overcoming obstacles – including emotions, which can put up a wall that prevents attaining that success, no matter how it’s defined. This new book aims to provide a logical thinking model so readers can approach life with the intent of improving it, including moving away from being governed by emotions and the negative results that such thinking can create. Identifying barriers and applying logical thinking to resolving them is the first step on the path to success.

To be successful in any endeavor takes a complex culmination of approaches. Dr Frank Layman’s experiences in helping patients’ recover and his own life experiences and successes make for motivating and compelling approach to self-improvement.

“Success Through Logical Thinking” offers specific tips for moving toward logical thinking. Author Frank Layman describes the benefits of logical thinking as a means to alter perspective and influence behavior, as well as a means to diminish self-doubt, which can sabotage commitment to goals. He includes warnings on managing expectations, not wasting time and avoiding temptation to be distracted. A test in one of the book’s final chapters allows readers to better assess their ability to apply logical thought to issues of everyday life and point out negative habits they can then work to eliminate so they can fully achieve their goals and build on their success.

Author Frank Layman, a specialist in orthopedics and sports medicine, has more than 20 years of experience treating athletes and patients. Layman, a member of the American Physical Therapy Association, North Caroline Physical Therapy Association and American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Therapy, has degrees in sports medicine/athletic training and physical therapy, as well as a doctorate in education from the University of Virginia and a medical degree in physical therapy from the University of St. Augustine. A national speaker for Cross Country education is a Major in the U.S. Army Reserves, serving for more then 13 years. He is a clinician and leader with Randolph Hospital. When he’s not teaching and treating patients, Layman practices Brazilian jujitsu, studies aerodynamics and is a pilot. He also enjoys time with his loving family.

Caring for Others “Is” Her Fulltime Job; Linda Phyllis Ratzthompson Releases New Book

Dog Ear Publishing releases “Generational Cooking: A Story About Life and Becoming a Caregiver” by Linda Phyllis Ratzthompson.

The author shares the life experiences that led her to become a caregiver for family members and how that work has shaped her life in this new book released by Dog Ear Publishing.

Caring for a series of relatives profoundly changed the author’s life, and she relays her feelings, circumstances and responsibilities in this new book. This highly personal account shares childhood memories from the author, who relives them through the eyes of the loved ones she is now caring for who helped make those memories. She also details the struggles, emotions and insecurities of the responsibility of caring for others.

In “Generational Cooking: A Story About Life and Becoming a Caregiver,” Ratzthompson describes how she began caring for her mother’s parents as she worked through a failing business, divorce and health issues. She turned to helping others as a way of coping. She compares caregiving to cooking, as multiple people and personalities must blend together at just the right time and with the right ingredients. Caregivers do, in fact, prepare meals for their charges, creating memories as they dine together. The book serves as a guide for one woman’s journey through life as she cares for loved ones, drawing on strength she never knew she had with the support of her husband, family members and caring organizations.

The role of caregiver can be misunderstood but is as vital as ever. As Ratzthompson writes, “No amount of money, wealth, stature, or power can buy this commitment, this time, and these memories. This is a sometimes-unbearable task made possible by the support of spouses, friends, family, and organizations who understand.”

Author Linda Phyllis Ratzthompson has a bachelor’s degree from the University of Florida and worked for a title underwriter representing northeast Florida. The Jacksonville native was a contractor with her own firm in St. Augustine, building and remodeling more than 100 homes. She served as a member of the Planning and Zoning Board in St. Augustine Beach and was elected as a commissioner. She was an active volunteer for charity and has cared for her grandparents, mother-in-law and now her parents. Ratzthompson, her husband and her parents live in Melrose.

New Novel By Bill Relf Features Thrilling Tale of Espionage, Revenge, Clash of Cultures

Dog Ear Publishing releases “The Iranian Connection” by Bill Relf.

Cameron “Cash” Ash, a wildly successful entrepreneur, finds himself embroiled in danger in this new book released by Dog Ear Publishing. Cash has a tragic past, and his need to outrun his tragic childhood results in a dangerous present, affecting his family and his business dealings; his need for answers drags him further down the international espionage rabbit hole. 

Cash has created a multimillion corporation from next to nothing, he has a beautiful wife and two happy children, but he’s still haunted by the untimely deaths of his parents in the explosion of Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, many years before. As this new thriller reveals, when Cash’s wife forces him to reassess his motivation for building his increasingly profitable corporation, Cameron Industries, Cash decides it’s time to focus on his family and start distributing his considerable wealth in a charitable manner, as he’d always promised himself he would do.  Unfortunately, tragedy strikes, and Cash finds himself foundering, with no business focus and his personal life in shambles.

His business team, composed of dear friends who want only the best for their leader, attempts to redirect his entrepreneurial spirit, recommending he use his energy to save a technology company that is under water. As he works to repair the business, he occupies himself with his lifelong search for the terrorist responsible for his parents’ demise. His actions lead him deep into industrial espionage, endangering his life and the lives of those around him. Can Cash overcome the many elements working against him to create happiness again? “The Iranian Connection” is a fast-paced thriller revolving around an extraordinarily brilliant, charismatic hero. Cameron “Cash” Ash is a thinking man’s action star worthy of this page-turning book.

Author Bill Relf taps into his own considerable international experience to create great stories; he’s spent time all over Asia and Africa, and his university degrees in economics, business, theology, and international relations fuel his fiction. Relf lives with his wife, Virginia, in California.
