The Book of the Sun by Jenny Rook #promo #teaser #comingsoon #spiritual #nonfiction #rabtbooktours @RABTBookTours @AuthorParul @AuthorJennyRook

Spiritual

Date Published:15 December 2022

Publisher: Serapis Bey Publishing

 

 

‘Are these my thoughts or yours?’ I asked.

‘It doesn’t matter,’ said the Sun.  ‘You are
me and I am you….’

The Book of the Sun is a record of the conversations between the author and
the Sun.  It concerns the structure of the living universe, why it is
so difficult here, and why we should all begin to realize that we are all
one, and yet diverse at the same time.  It answers many questions that
have concerned minds throughout the millennia.  Why are we here?
Why is there suffering?  What is the future for us?  These
questions and many more are answered with many surprises for the
reader.

This is a god- the Sun, speaking to us through this book – who has
contacted us before in Ancient Egypt, the Americas and many other
places.  But the message now is that there is no separation, so the Sun
is very concerned that we should not make a religion out of this
contact.  Religions are based on hierarchies, rules and judgments, and
the Sun’s message is not only that we are one but that love and light
is the only reality, with a spicing of laughter.

Teaser

‘You are in my heart,’

…It was the sheer warmth of the love that took me by surprise.  It
melted my heart in gratitude and joy.  It opened me to the most
thrilling conversation of my life.

 

 

About the Author

Jenny Rook was born in Essex, UK and educated at York University, where she
graduated with a degree in English and Music. Studying the greats of
literature called a halt to her burgeoning desire to write. After various
adventures in: the scrap trade; bookselling; helping run an employment
agency; and having children, she settled back into her first love, writing.
Her first fiction book Fly By Night (1989) was accepted by Headline, the
first publisher she sent it to. This was the first of a fantasy trilogy and
Headline wanted all three. All her fiction books are published under the
name Jenny Jones. Two adult ghost novels followed, Where the Children Cry
(1998) and The Blue Manor (1995) both published by Gollancz. Five other
fantasy/horror books for teenagers were published by Scholastic (1994, 1995,
1997), Hodder (1995) and Orion (2000).

In 2006, Jenny qualified as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist for children
and their families. She worked mainly for the NHS and also volunteered for
Sure Start (a UK government initiative to help with the early stages in a
mother and baby’s relationship), before taking early retirement to
look after her elderly mother. Jenny now lives with her husband, mother, and
three dogs in the Cotswolds and writes nonfiction.

was being the mother of five children.

Of course, Patsy had one very famous student, her beloved son Patrick,
known as “Buddy” to family and friends. The book touches on the
relationship between Patsy and Buddy, and Buddy’s life. Another renowned

The Unifier by Jay Thomas #blogtour #scifi #fantasy #rabtbooktours @thejaythomass @RABTBookTours @MKWebsiteandSEO

Sci-Fi / Fantasy

Date Published: June 23, 2022

Publisher: ‎Mindstir Media

 

 

On the eve of the twelfth millennium, the prophesied return of The Unifier
marks the beginning of a complex and shattered world centered around the
mutations of a diverse people. While the three warring kingdoms vy for
control over the arid world they live in, a young hero finds himself
directly involved in the vicious conflict. Upon uncovering the mystery of
the prophecy and unraveling the events of the past thousand years, Lucian
quickly realizes both himself and his family are at the center of this plot
involving the individual bestowed with the unique mutations of all three
kingdoms. The Unifier will need to find the courage and strength to renew
the spirits of this world’s occupants to lead them into a new chapter
and step away from its dark history.

 

Review

Jay Thomas weaves his own spell on the reader, creating a compulsive page-turner that will provide readers with a fantastical escape.

Startlingly imaginative and vividly realized. A mix of humor, action, and adventure that all equally entice.

About the Author

Jay had begun cultivating the creation of the world in The Unifier for
several years now. It wasn’t until recently with the welcoming of his
first child, he found himself putting together the novel into a story that
he was both proud of and ready to share with the world. His obsession with
storytelling can be supplemented through various projects he hopes to bring
to the public in the next couple of years including screenplays, and the
sequels to this intricate and complex design he has worked on.

When Jay isn’t writing, he can be found spending time with his new
family or on the golf course working on his short game. He currently resides
in New York with his beautiful wife and infant daughter.

The Wrong Kind of Magic by Hilary Hauck #promo #giveaway #middlegrade #mgfantasy #fantasy #rabtbooktours @RABTBookTours @HilaryHauck

Book one of Trevor Made Christmas Stories

Middle-Grade Fantasy

Date Published: 09-27-2022

 

 

The house is shaking, colors are sparkling, things are starting to break…
and did that toy start moving?

Thirteen-year-old Marley is convinced that Christmas is just for little
kids and that magic doesn’t exist, but when she and her siblings
tiptoe downstairs in the middle of the night to take a sneak peek at their
stockings, she’s about to discover that magic is more real than she
ever imagined…

When the children’s toys start coming to life, Marley will need to
think fast if she’s to protect her siblings from rampaging dinosaurs
and wild monkeys. The fate of them all depends on whether she can find the
right kind of magic.

This thrilling and heartwarming adventure is a beautiful tale of a big
sister who has forgotten the joys of Christmas.

 

About the Author

Christmas has always been Hilary Hauck’s favorite time of year.
Growing up in the United Kingdom, Christmas meant family gatherings, turkey
and stuffing, crackers, mince pies, charades, and the Queen’s speech
in the afternoon.

According to Hilary, every child should have magic in their life, and
stories enlighten us with the endless ways magic is all around. Why did she
write this story about the wrong kind of magic? Well, because sometimes we
need to feel the wrong kind of something before we know what the right kind
looks and feels like.

Hilary is also the author of From Ashes to Song, inspired the true story of
three Italians who immigrated to Pennsylvania ninety years before she did.
She has written short stories for Like Sunshine After Rain and anthologies
in the Mindful Writers Retreat Series.

She grew up in the UK and has also lived in Italy. She lives on a small
patch of woods in rural Pennsylvania with her husband and a cat with a
penchant for laundry. Visit her at http://www.hilaryhauck.com.

Poopie Suits & Cowboy Boots by Frank Hood & Charles Hood #promo #coldwar #biography #nonfiction #rabtbooktours @RABTBookTours

6 book Poopie Suits Series

Cold War Biography – Non Fiction

Date Published: 01-17-2018

 

 

Poopie Suits and Cowboy Boots is a story of a young man volunteering to
serve aboard a US Submarine, and the life changing journey he had to take to
even get on a submarine.  Then, once aboard, you go through the
day-to-day life while on the front lines of the Cold War at sea.  The
scary incidents, the wild times in ports of call, the ongoing testing the
men were subjected to by the crew.  Historical touch points anchor the
story in the mid to late 60’s, a time of the nascent space program and the
Vietnam War.   Frank’s story serves as a frame work to explain how
submarine systems operate, in simple easy to understand terms.  There
is a lot packed into this true story, and we hope that those who read it
will come away with an enhanced understanding of what these men went
through, the sacrifices that had to made, the unrelenting pressure of zero
mistakes in an always potential deadly environment. An deep insight into the
Silent Service.

About the Author

Frank Hood received a NROTC Scholarship to Purdue and started his formation
to being commissioned as a Naval Officer.  For his Senior Cruise, he
was assigned to a WWII era submarine and he saw, first hand, the loose rules
coupled with the cool and professional execution of duties, along with the
great fun they crew had when the pressure was off. He greatly appreciated
the tight camaraderie they had, and he knew that is what he wanted when he
graduated.

This is the genesis of this book.  For over 1 year of Nuclear Power
and Submarine Officer training, to 3 years of keeping the Soviet Submarine
Force at bay, this experience was one of the most impacting of his
life.  Post Navy, he worked as an Engineer, Sales Person, and Business
Owner.  Retired to New Hampshire and enjoying life. Active in the
submarine veteran community, the deep bond formed 50 years before is even
stronger and more appreciated.

Charles Hood is a physician practicing in South Carolina. For years he was
intrigued by his older brother Frank’s service on a hot running, fast
attack submarine, but could not get Frank to ever talk about it. Finally, he
convinced Frank by saying, “Even without the secret mission details,
your day-to-day life is a unique story, and if you don’t tell it so
others can appreciate what you went through, who will?”  With
that Frank dictated his story and Charles word smithed it and add additional
research.  Vetting by many other sub vets helped reduce the errors
caused by 50 year old memories.  The resulting story has been acclaimed
by submarine veterans and civilians alike.  It is in its 5th Edition,
have had other details and stories added to the original content.

Literary fiction (with Adventure; Family)

Date Published: 11-28-2022

Publisher: By The Pure Sea Books

 

 

“The journey of a 1000 miles begins with a single step.” ~ Lao
Tzu

 

Raiden, an emotionally troubled 40-something guy, is at a major turning
point in his life. Rather than choose to face it head on, he undertakes an
epic road trip adventure across North America, all with the aim of escaping
the single most transformative event of his life – imminent
fatherhood.

Searching for solutions in all the wrong places and faces, Raiden is forced
to turn the mirror back on himself and shine the harsh light of reality not
only on his quest, but into the very depths of his soul, in order to
discover what it is he truly seeks.

While he does his best to find the answer, the impactful events he
experiences along the way will reveal more about Raiden and his nature than
the strange assortment of characters he meets on his overland odyssey.

Ultimately, The Journey is a story that no matter how far you run, your
demons always follow.
