Hello dear readers! Throughout my own journey as a podcaster, I have learned so much that I am excited to share with all of you. I know that starting a podcast can seem like a daunting task, but with the right mindset and some practical tips, you too can create a successful podcast that truly resonates with your audience. When I first started my podcast, “The Relatable Voice,” I was a novice when it came to the technology involved. But what I did have was a burning passion to create something special, and that is what drove me forward. I…

Too much screen time isn’t good for the eyes. I love books and have an enormous library. I have an online bookstore debsbookparadise.com for the overflow. In fact, if I removed all the books from my 100 year-old New England home, I think it would rise at least a foot. Reading is transporting. While I love zoning out with screens, a good book is an experience that engages all the senses and ignites the imagination. I have written some law-related books that were reviewed as self-help, which I believe is because of the conversational tone and my desire to help…

Acts 2:17-2117 “In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. 18 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. 19 I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. 20 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before coming of the great and glorious day…

The pain of abandonment is huge. The partner you loved and cherished for so many years has decided you are no longer required. Past your sell by date. Of no use to them anymore, so tossed out like a piece of garbage. Abandoned with barely a backward glance. In an attempt to keep this a gentle, light-hearted read, each chapter is divided into letters of the alphabet, rather like a dictionary of distress, something you can dip into at any time. I am not an expert, merely someone who has survived one of life’s great traumas and has come through…

Jimmy Propfield joined the army for two reasons: to get out of Mobile, Alabama, with his best friends Hank and Billy and to forget his high school sweetheart, Claire. Life in the Philippines seems like paradise–until the morning of December 8, 1941, when news comes from Manila: Imperial Japan has bombed Pearl Harbor. Within hours, the teenage friends are plunged into war as enemy warplanes attack Luzon, beginning a battle for control of the Pacific Theater that will culminate with a last stand on the Bataan Peninsula and end with the largest surrender of American troops in history. What follows…

While J. Robert Oppenheimer and his Manhattan Project team struggle to develop the A-bomb, Edward Teller wants something even more devastating: a weapon based on nuclear fusion — the mechanism that powers the sun. But Teller’s research leads to a terrifying discovery: by the year 2030, the sun will eject its outermost layer, destroying the entire inner solar system — including Earth. After the war ends, Oppenheimer’s physicists combine forces with Albert Einstein, computing pioneer John von Neumann, and rocket designer Wernher von Braun — the greatest scientific geniuses from the last century racing against time to save our future. Meticulously researched and replete with real-life characters and events, The…

A powerful collection of memories about codependency, budding sexuality, abuse, abandonment, introspection, and the need for a new identity. By the time Heather Wilde turned 37, the pieces of her life had crumbled. Relationships were shards of glass cutting from all angles. Her parents. Her friendships. Her ex-husband. Leaving her abusive marriage was a necessary step, but feelings of unworthiness and codependency had her stuck living a miserable life. Tossed and tumbled in her destructive cycle of relationships, body image issues, and feelings of being a victim kept catapulting her backward into the waves of unhappiness. She took a long,…
