Nonfiction Feature: East Clifton Avenue by Frank Plateroti #blogtour #nonfiction #biography #rabtbooktours @DrPlateroti @RABTBookTours

A Family Trilogy

From Sicily to America - 1889 -1966

 

Nonfiction / Biography

Date Published: October 19, 2020

Publisher: ‎BookBaby

 

I am introducing you to the Buonofortes: A family similar to my mother's family and the millions of other families who immigrated to this great country at the beginning of the last century. The Italian immigrants took their place among the other immigrants who came before them and who were already acclimated and settled in their new country. Similar to all the new immigrants, regardless of nationality, they all shared the same passion: to make a better life for themselves, their children, and generations to come. This is a fictional/non-fictional account of the Buonforte family. A family that came from Sicily, Italy in the early 1900's to make a better life for the children and finally settle on East Clifton Avenue, New Jersey. Non fictional events are inter-weaved with fictional events and people. The Buonoforte family lived in Clifton, New Jersey, a town similar to thousands of small towns in the northeastern part of the United States. Within the story of the Buonoforte family, the sacrifices, potential rewards, and heartbreak of unconditional love are the main message: Rethink behaviors as to not repeat the same mistakes that eventually destroy families. A message that I hope millions of other families may be able to relate to, understand, and be moved by. You will see within the Buonoforte family that there are those who are emotional and affectionate, and those who may be emotional and not affectionate. Although brothers and sisters may share the same genetics, it is a puzzle why if brought up by the same parents they can be so different. It creates much confusion and potential hurt. Perhaps if that is understood, we can let go of old vendettas and hurt feelings, reconnect, and grow.

Review

The author has woven a story that is so interesting, sets it in historical perspective and reflects what life was like for members of an Italian family. 

Blending history, sociology, anthropology and economics, Plateroti offers a look at the immigrants who were ambitious.

This book is really informative, lots of history and facts. Very interesting history of waves of immigration and their contributions to life today.

Thriller Feature: The Beating Heart of a Mind by Bruce M. Perrin #promo #psychological #thriller #giveaway #releaseday #brucemperrin #thebeatingheartofamind #rabtbooktours @bmperrin @RABTBookTours

 

The Mind Sleuth Series #6

 

Psychological thriller

Date Published: 05-02-2023

Publisher: Mind Sleuth Publications

 

Bullied to death in the boardroom?

Private Investigator Rebecca Marte doubted it. Since when would the president and CEO of a highly successful company find the criticisms of his subordinates so destructive to his self-image that he would commit suicide? That, however, was what her new client, Nicole Veles, claimed.

Nicole painted a toxic, if not criminal, picture of defamation leading up to the man’s death. His problems were more than just the company’s bottom line. They ranged from public ridicule of some of his out-of-date marketing concepts that had been leaked to the press to a police report from a young man who claimed the president and CEO had propositioned him. And after his demise, one of his most vocal detractors ascended to his position. That was enough to raise Rebecca’s suspicions. She took the job.

But as she began her investigation, hints that Nicole’s beliefs were tainted by her history became difficult for Rebecca to ignore. Two years earlier, Nicole had been kidnapped, and she still bore the mental and emotional scars of abuse and captivity. She’d cut all connections to her friends and fled her past by relocating to Colorado where no one knew her. She took a job where long-term relationships were impossible, save one stubborn older woman who wouldn’t take no for an answer—and who just happened to be the wife of the suicide victim

While everyone else thought the man’s death, while tragic, was just the consequence of high-pressure business and depression over the loss of the company he had founded, could Rebecca trust anything to the contrary that her new client told her?

 

“Tension is well-developed, whether it's psychological revelations that involve Rebecca more deeply in her client's life than she'd imagined, the wedge between client and investigator driven home by the victim’s wife, or the probe of a business structure that supports dangerous undercurrents.”

-Midwest Book Review

 

 

About the Author

Until ten years ago, I was a human factors psychologist doing research on cutting edge technologies like virtual reality and artificial intelligence at a major aerospace company. The aim? Fit these technologies to the way people learn, remember, and do their jobs, not the other way around. But if the world can be shaped to work with us, it can just as surely be molded to destroy us.

Now, I’m an author writing “The Mind Sleuth Series”, stories where the evil side of research and science too often surface. Sometimes the devastation is unintentional. Sometimes, it’s motivated by greed or passion, but it’s always a race to see if and how my heroes—Doc, Nicole, Rebecca—can turn the tide.

Historic Romance

Date Published: 12-12-2022

Publisher: The Wild Rose Press

 

In 1944, a German artillery shell destroyed Milt Greenlee’s future in professional baseball. His hideously scarred face and useless arm require him to relearn and recondition. But no amount of rehab will restore his looks or his self-confidence. There’s no chance a “cripple” like him could catch the eye of the stunning Nurse McEwen 

Army Nurse, Annie McEwen dreams her voice will take her far away from her hateful, overbearing father. She hopes Milt, a patient who fought in Sicily, might be the one who can help her find closure with the death of her cousin.

As their attraction grows, how can their relationship survive Annie's fears and Milt's secret?

 

Excerpt

She pushed his wheelchair down the wide hallway oblivious to his wishes. A damn show wouldn't fix what couldn’t be fixed. And it wouldn’t make him forget either.

His chair jerked to a halt in the middle of the hallway. “Annie, you’re gorgeous,” his nurse exclaimed.

Milt glanced up. A dazzling woman approached. He instinctively straightened in his chair. Even with only one eye, he could appreciate the way the deep blue evening gown set off her curves. How her dark red hair framed her creamy, heart-shaped face.

His battered heart stuttered at the sight.

YA Fantasy Feature: The Storm Darkens by Valerie Storm #blogtour #bookreview #youngadult #fantasy #yafantasy #giveaway #rabtbooktours @valerie_storm @RABTBookTours

Demon Storm Book Three

YA Fantasy

Date Published: 04-13-2023

Publisher: Shadow Spark Publishing

Evil never really dies. It rises, again and again.

Now—Kari knows it’s rising inside her.

After barely defeating wicked Shadow Witch Raven, the wolf-demon knows her turmoil is far from over when her vanquished foe invades her dreams. And a new power stirs within her: thanks to Raven’s cunning, Kari’s potential as the Catalyst has awoken. A conduit for a terrifying, world-cracking force—one that could open at any moment.

Kari has resisted this new temptation thus far. But Raven again forces her hand, unleashing a demonic abomination to draw her prey out—a deadlier foe than any Kari has faced before. If she taps into this dark new power, she could become strong enough to defend the people she cares about. But the Catalyst has bloodthirsty designs of its own…

If she submits, what new horrors will be inflicted on the world Kari’s come to love?

Review

Very detailed descriptions of the characters & world building continues in this fourth installment. 

I love the pace, even when it would slow a little, the story would quickly pick back up and you were on your way to another twist or turn in the story.

Well written with strong heroines and those that love them. This series is SO MUCH FUN!

 About the Author

Christoffel Sneijders was born in Amsterdam (1965), the Netherlands, for already more than thirty years he is focussed on business training, executive coaching, and working as a therapist with clients with severe issues in Europe, Middle East, Asia, USA and Australia.

Working with so many people in a direct way gave him the insight and how we are all the same and how we can flourish or suffer in our life. This journey and research lead him to the 3 Brains (Head, Heart and Gut) theory. This 3 Brains Theory is the simple explanation why we as humans do what we do based on how we biologically are designed with 3 Brains and what their individual job description is. Working with this concept in relationships, personal development or working with trauma’s is amazingly effective and successful.

But it was not until 2017 when a client pushed him to share this with the world and write a book about it after she had a remarkable recovery after just one session.

His passion is to contribute to world that is living with a soul and a heart, instead of following the path of selfishness and being focussed on consuming to make us feel happy. So many countries, companies and people are still living according Machiavelli’s adagium: “when you as a ruler have to choose between fear and love choose fear as people can say no to love but not to fear”

Furthermore in his passion to spread this theory he created the 3 Brains - the head, the heart and gut - coach certification training to train people to work with it. This is an ICF (International Coach Federation) accredited training.
