2019 Sep 20 Steve Smith I have published a novel on Amazon entitled, An Adventurous Soul: One soul’s exciting journey through the Human Learning School. It’s an adventure story with a spirituality theme. I was always a science and engineering type, but in 1996, I reluctantly agreed to do an ESP experiment with a couple of friends. It was so successful, it blew my mind! I began to read books about psychic research and people having out-of-body experiences and near-death experiences. I took courses and did some amazing things myself! I finally decided to write this novel, which incorporates into the story, the teachings of many modern and ancient spiritual teachers. It is available here in paperback at Amazon and also in Kindle ebook format
2016 Oct 17 Hal Roberts I have written a book on leadership entitled Pirate On! - Lead fearlessly, Ignite Passion, Inspire Trust in your Crew, & Emerge as a Leader of Significance. It is available here in paperback at Amazon. I can also personalize a copy if you contact me at pirate3314@gmail.com or call 361.446.767.

2011 Nov 30 Gary Jacobs Gary has written a new children's book, The Curious Ant. It is a funny, Dr. Seuss-like book, but with a twist: there are no illustrations. Instead, readers are invited to draw the pictures themselves on blank pages provided throughout the book. It is available here in paperback at Amazon.
2010 Jul 13 Gary Jacobs Hi All, I wanted to let you know that my humorous novel is available here in paperback at Amazon and also in Kindle ebook format. The title is Still Life With Genitals (I'm not kidding. Wait till you see the cover art). I have two young children who hope to go to college. If I don't sell enough books, that may not be possible. And they could turn to drugs. And have to do home invasions to support their habits. And remember, I have your addresses. Best wishes, Gary

These announcments are of a more somber nature.
