Danny Hawkins’s New Book ‘Unbelievable: A Journey From Brokenness to Healing’ is a Deeply Personal Memoir of Overcoming the Unique Challenges Faced by the Author in Life
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – November 18, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
Fulton Books author Danny Hawkins, an educator, mentor, and ordained minister who owned and operated after-school clubs and programs that provided cultural enrichment services and educational services to the at-risk population, has completed his most recent book “Unbelievable: A Journey from Brokenness to Healing”: a poignant and stirring memoir detailing the difficult and unimaginable challenges the author was forced to overcome in life.
“Countless people have mentioned that my life story has touched their hearts, encouraged them, and showed them the grace and mercy of God,” writes Hawkins. “I am no one special. I’m just someone who has endured much hardship, trials, and struggles in my life. I have learned that in life, we cannot change the past but we can use our past as a tool to better our lives and to follow our dreams. My philosophy in life can be summed up with the phrase ‘Do not let your past make the decisions of today, which can affect your tomorrow.’
“To prepare for this book, I gathered records from courts, the foster care system, the Missouri Division of Family Services, military records, school records, medical records, school yearbooks, public records, and newspapers, and I spent time interviewing people who knew my natural family. I even met with my natural mother, brothers, and sister. Slowly, the pieces of my life began to connect and make sense.
“This book will take you through the journey of my life—the good and the bad—as I share my life’s story in my terms, from my memories, reflections, and experiences. I will open up aspects and areas of my life that have hidden dark memories and skeletons and, for many years, have guarded secrets. You will discover the good and the bad, my successes and my failures, as well as my mistakes and shortcomings. I do not pretend to be perfect, nor do I pretend like my past does not affect me today. I choose to use my past as a tool to achieve my dreams and to help and inspire others. You will understand that my life story is unbelievable and filled with many possibilities.”
Published by Fulton Books, Danny Hawkins’s book is a captivating portrait of a man who, despite the obstacles placed in front of him, managed to succeed and surpass what was thought possible for him. Hawkins shares his story in the hopes that readers who find themselves facing insurmountable challenges will become inspired by his tale of perseverance and tackle whatever tests they face head-on.

Alex Benay’s New Book ‘Between the Walls’ is a thrilling tale set in a dystopian reality following the intersecting lives of those cast out of society beyond the Wall
NEW YORK – November 18, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
Fulton Books author Alex Benay, an acclaimed Canadian nonfiction author who has worked across multiple industries, including the most senior ranks of government, the global technology sector, as well as managed several of Canada’s national museums, has completed his most recent book “Between the Walls”: a gripping and powerful dystopian novel in which the poorest members of society are left to fend for themselves in a dangerous area outside of civilization.
“Their families were deported beyond the Wall once the Great Decline started spreading to every country around the globe, and they have been fighting for their lives ever since,” writes Benay. “Disease and slow economic collapse forced most countries to put in place dramatic measures to manage the growing number of poor citizens. Deporting these people beyond the Wall was supposed to be a temporary solution that would buy nations time to get back to normal. Except no one understood there would never again be a return to normal.
“Gangs rule the streets of the new cities beyond the Wall. Starlight Foundation, a corporation hired by the US government to manage the operations in this new territory, is trying to manage the chaos. But lost in the middle of all this turmoil are the day-to-day lives of its citizens. A former paramedic and his daughters, a naive Starlight intern, children of the streets, and a gang leader’s lives all intertwine in this portrayal of what life between the Wall is really like.
“They cannot all make it out alive, and the good people do not always win. What would you do to survive? How far would you go? Find out how the residents beyond the Wall cope with everyday life-or-death decisions as they try and escape the slow decay of New Pittsburgh.”
Published by Fulton Books, Alex Benay’s book is the author’s first foray into the world of fiction, drawing on his experiences to craft a truly thought-provoking example of what society’s future could become. Expertly paced and full of suspense, this character-driven tale will leave readers on the edge of their seats as multiple characters become intertwined in their struggles for survival.

Author J. Stewart Schneider, J.D.’s New Book ‘An Old Lion Roars at Dementia’ is a Witty Collection of Anecdotes and Reminiscences by a Man Diagnosed With Dementia
Recent release ‘An Old Lion Roars at Dementia’ from Newman Springs Publishing author J. Stewart Schneider is a poignant book of observations, thoughts, and reflections by a man who has been diagnosed with vascular dementia. In a last chance to roar at the disease that daily robs him of talents and memories, Schneider has written a book of guidance for the coming generation.
ASHLAND, Ky. – November 18, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
J. Stewart Schneider, a politician, a police dispatcher, a cop, a radio host, a prosecutor, a published technical writer, a computer programmer, a performance musician and recording artist, a Christian minister, and at times, a bread truck driver, and a door-to-door salesman, has completed his new book “An Old Lion Roars at Dementia”: a gripping and potent collection of thoughts and reflections.
Schneider states, “When I was a young man, I walked a mental path of smooth macadam with few, if any, tripping hazards. I didn’t stride, for I have never been that confident, but I walked upright, admiring my surroundings. Every thought which entered my consciousness brought with it a legion of other connected memories so that my mental environment was a place of wondrous variety.
“Then came age and vascular dementia. Now, my mental environment is sparse, emptier, and unremarkable. No more does one thought summon others. No more am I reminded of pleasanter times by some passing vision. If I am to speak, I must speak now.”
Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Schneider’s stirring tale is more than a memoir; it’s the memory of a man diagnosed with vascular dementia. The disease has robbed him of his mental acuity but not his sense of humor. It’s his roar at dementia, the beast that stalks the elderly and robs them of their memories. His hope is that his experiences may help others face their own challenges, both personal and professional.
Readers who wish to experience this potent work can purchase “An Old Lion Roars at Dementia” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.

Author Brooke Heberling’s New Book ‘Protecting Her Peace’ Follows a Young Woman Who Must Face Her Problems That Have Led Her Down a Spiral of Self-Destruction
Recent release ‘Protecting Her Peace’ from Newman Springs Publishing author Brooke Heberling is a poignant tale following Ruby, a young woman whose life has been filled with toxicity and unhappiness at every stage. Now faced with the devastating consequences of her eating disorder, Ruby must make the choice to stand and fight for herself or succumb to the lies she’s been led to believe.
EATONTON, Ga. – November 18, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
Brooke Heberling, a freshmen English teacher who loves God, her family, her cats, her students, and music that hits her soul, has completed her new book “Protecting Her Peace”: a gripping and powerful tale of a young woman who must make the choice to fight through life’s trials or allow them to overpower her, losing herself in the chaos of her life.
“Ruby Blue is as fascinating as a storm rolling in through a majestic mountain range: powerful, reckless, and remarkably beautiful to witness,” writes Heberling. “She’s fought her way through two life-altering heartaches, a sixteen-year battle with a debilitating eating disorder, and a running addiction that nearly took her life. However, it’s her husband’s simple, promiscuous proposition to her best friend that makes her question everything. As a mother, she wants to continue to do what’s best for her two children, but with her marriage dangling by a thread, right now, she’s just desperately trying to stay afloat in her recovery and not fall back into the comforting arms of the disorders that almost killed her years ago.
“Although the odds of success are tremendously stacked against her, Ruby refuses to give up. Her strength, bravery, and intentionality are a reminder that we all have the capability to overcome incredible obstacles. Her humanity, humility, and humor are proof that we don’t have to navigate them perfectly to succeed in living our truth. Ruby Blue’s not just a character in a book. She’s the embodiment of anyone who’s ever been brave enough to go toe-to-toe with their childhood traumas, defy the toxic body image ideals of society, and fight for freedom from addiction.”
Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Brooke Heberling’s stirring tale is a thought-provoking and impactful journey of finding one’s courage and strength to rise above the difficulties in one’s own life. Despite years of trauma and toxicity from multiple people in her life, Ruby chooses to face her problems head on, resulting in a powerful and enlightening fight to reach the light at the end of the tunnel and discover her true happiness.
Readers who wish to experience this potent work can purchase “Protecting Her Peace” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.

Fulton Books author Kimberly Hoffman has completed her most recent book “Planting Pickles with Papa Dan”: a stirring tale about two young girls who enjoy spending a magical day with their grandfather from gardening and planting pickles to baking sugar cookies during a storm.
“Papa Dan and his granddaughters, Alba and Ivy, spend the day doing their favorite things, starting with a ride in the wheelbarrow (along with Bazil the Dog) to Papa Dan’s fairylike garden,” writes Hoffman. “As a storm blows in and baking ensues, Papa Dan saves the day when the smoke detector shrills.

He will forever be remembered as a loving son, husband, father, and grandfather—and for his manager’s specials, of course. He lived his life with purpose, loved to garden, and shared what he cultivated with family and friends.”
Published by Fulton Books, Kimberly Hoffman’s book is inspired by the real-life man Dan Stoecklein, also known as Papa Dan to his granddaughters, Alba and Ivy, who enjoyed baking and gardening much like his fictional counterpart. Full of vibrant artwork and a tale that readers of all ages will be able to connect to, “Planting Pickles with Papa Dan” explores the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren.

Super-Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne by Katherine Rundell
LONDON – November 17, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
Super-Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne by Katherine Rundell has been named winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction 2022. The winner was announced by Chair of Judges Caroline Sanderson at a ceremony hosted at the Science Museum and generously supported by The Blavatnik Family Foundation. The announcement was streamed to readers around the world via the Baillie Gifford Prize social media channels.
Super-Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne gives readers a window into the little-known myriad lives the poet John Donne lived. He was a scholar of law, a maritime adventurer, an MP, a priest, the Dean of St Paul’s Cathedral – and perhaps the greatest love poet in the history of the English language. Standout scholar Katherine Rundell shows readers the many sides of his life, his obsessions, his blazing words, and his tempestuous Elizabethan times – unveiling Donne as the most remarkable mind and as a lesson in living.
Katherine Rundell is a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, where she works on Renaissance literature. Her bestselling books for children have been translated into more than 30 languages and have won multiple awards. Rundell is also the author of a book for adults, Why You Should Read Children’s Books, Even Though You Are So Old and Wise. She has written for, among others, the London Review of Books, the Times Literary Supplement, the New York Review of Books and The New York Times, largely about books, though sometimes about animals, night climbing and tightrope walking.
The Baillie Gifford Prize aims to recognise and reward the best of non-fiction and is open to authors of any nationality. It covers all non-fiction in the areas of current affairs, history, politics, science, sport, travel, biography, autobiography and the arts. As the winner, Rundell will receive £50,000 along with the £1,000 given to each of the shortlisted authors. Last year’s winner was Patrick Radden Keefe for Empire of Pain, which became a Sunday Times bestseller.
Super-Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne was chosen by this year’s judging panel: writer and Associate Editor of The Bookseller, Caroline Sanderson (chair); writer and science journalist, Laura Spinney; critic and writer for The Observer, Rachel Cooke; BBC journalist and presenter, Clive Myrie; author and New Yorker writer, Samanth Subramanian; and critic and broadcaster, Georgina Godwin.

Bill Goldstein’s New Book ‘Skip the Funeral: And Other Musings: 2nd Edition’ is a series of stories and observations on life made by the author throughout his career
EAST HAMPTON, N.Y. – November 17, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
Fulton Books author Bill Goldstein, a former lawyer and co-founder of sports marketing agency Sports Etcetera, has completed his most recent book “Skip the Funeral: And Other Musings: 2nd Edition”: a smart and witty collection of stories and reflections on various aspects of life meant to spark dialogue and critical thinking amongst readers.
“Between these covers you will find musings about everyday life,” writes Goldstein. “Things that may lie just beneath your daily consciousness but that you will nevertheless likely recognize immediately. Varied as to form and content, these short bursts are not easily described collectively. For both my podcast ‘Not That You Asked’ and website www.billgoldstein.com, we’ve settled on ‘Stories. Observations. Pet Peeves.’ — a pretty fair description of ‘Skip the Funeral’, as well.
“… If you should also find yourself occasionally nodding in agreement or saying to yourself, ‘Hmm, never thought of it that way,’ I will have achieved my purpose.”
Published by Fulton Books, Bill Goldstein’s book is a powerful series that dares to make readers consider the important questions in life and asks them to think about topics in a different light. Full of lighthearted humor and experience gained from the author’s life meeting all kinds of people, readers will discover an energetic and mesmerizing anthology that is sure to stay with them long after its conclusion.
Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase “Skip the Funeral: And Other Musings: 2nd Edition” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
