Noah Marshall also has dreams… of his wife and children killed in a train wreck two years before. His Pittsburgh renovation company, Restorative Adventures, purchases the old train depot in Canaan Heights for renovating. His job: evaluate the property's potential and spend time healing. As he sleeps inside the depot, Noah's lucid dreams unite with quantum mechanics, and past events from his world unfold in another world's present time. But will intervening in one universe resolved the anguish in his life?

Like intersecting railway tracks, the paths of Laurel, incredulous by nature, and Noah, plagued by self-destructive drinking, cross at Canaan Heights. They encounter formidable enemies in Priscilla Cochran and Winston Effingham, partners in an empire reaching beyond the guise of building a new community. But their journey reveals they are not alone in their conflict. When tensions escalate, Laurel and Noah's dreams prove not everything is as it appears to be.

RAILS is a 91,000 fantasy novel. It is my first work of fiction.]]>2012-03-26T22:29:24Z

]]>2012-03-01T15:49:30ZThis inspiring tale offers a glimpse at a situation many women experience: an empty nest, single after a long marriage and at a loss regarding who she really is.
A car accident becomes the catalyst for a life-changing journey; one where she reclaims herself and becomes inspired to live life more fully than she ever dreamed possible. “The Seven Tools of Transformation” are what guide her.
A Woman’s Guide to Transformation is a self-help book, but not in the typical sense. It is more a tale than a self-help book. This book is similar to Eat, Pray, Love in that it deals with Women in Transition. It is in the genre of The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari by Robin Sharma, or The Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman, but with a completely unique voice; this book is decidedly female. Its voice will appeal to women who want a "light read with an amazing message." It has elements of fun ‘chick-lit’ reading but with a powerful life-altering message. It is a perfect book for women new to personal growth or women who are well advanced on the path. In essence, it is the ideal bibliotherapy read for a rainy Sunday afternoon, but one that will continue to provide insight and support long after the last page is read.

Larger than Life takes you deep into the lives of an incredibly majestic species in a rich and vanishing world, a world we feel in our souls when we look into another creature’s eyes. I didn’t need radio collars or binoculars or even a 4-wheel drive vehicle to study elephants. They were as close as an eyelash, companions who allowed me to join their herd.

Jabu, Morula, Thembi – and their herd mates Doug and Sandi Groves – live in Botswana’s Okavango Delta, a 5,500 square mile river delta the size of Massachusetts, an unparalleled ecosystem with an ark-full of animals. Adopted as orphans from culling operations, the elephants spend their days as most elephants do: strolling and eating. But they are also ambassadors between the elephant world and the human world. Invited by Doug and Sandi to stay in their camp and research this book project, I found myself reflecting on the personalities and habits of three charismatic elephants, on elephants I observed in other countries (Namibia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Tanzania and Kenya), and on an underlying question I brought to Africa: what can a trio of elephants teach humans about rejoining the rest of the world?

In fifteen chapters and 350 pages, illustrated with my own black & white photographs, Larger than Life blends the unprecedented experience of living in an elephant herd with the sights, the sounds, and smells of Africa. Written in a first person, observational point of view, each page of Larger than Life embeds the reader right next to an elephant. Spread over a series of seven days, Larger than Life chronicles my interactions with the elephants, with their habitat and with other inhabitants of the Okavango Delta – inhabitants such as dung beetles, “Go-away” birds, hyenas, baboons and lions. The book also includes footnotes and a bibliography.

Walk with me. Stroll with three unfettered and unfenced elephants in a world where the thin-skinned sky is a bare reminder that the earth is covered with air, where clouds stampede as if chased by lions - a world without asphalt, without cell phones, without that strange human notion of time.

Thanks very much for your consideration.
]]>2011-12-31T18:39:17ZIn my new book, Old Flames Burn Hottest: True Tales of Love and Obsession, I share tales of women and men who have searched for past lovers. Internet searches, world-of-mouth inquiries, hired help or plain and simple old-fashioned perseverance–I will cover it all.

This collection of 18 witty, wild, and inspiring true stories of second-time-around romances will appeal to anyone who has loved and lost. Because women and men equally pine for past flames, this book will tempt, satisfy, and inspire the romantic in all of us. Interlaced among the real-life stories are short informative sections and sidebars covering famous lovers reunited, tips and tools for finding past loves, and trivia about Old Flames.

As the author of romantic suspense novels and stories, as well as a nonfiction book, Boomer Babes: True Tales of Love and Lust in the Later Years (Dorchester Publishing, 2008), I have multiple published credits on the subject of relationships and currently write columns for About55 and the Phoenix Examiner. A frequent guest of television and radio, I most recently appeared on Phoenix’s The Chat Room and on the radio show Midlife Mojo. In addition, I presented at the Festival of the Wise, a conference for Boomers. I am also an award recipient from the Women’s National Book Association and a member of Sisters in Crime, Boomerz, and Boomer Women Speak, as well as other organizations for writers.

With the explosion of social networking, the topic of old flames is hot. Currently, there is no book on the market entirely dedicated to the subject, so this book fills both necessary and relevant space in the market.

]]>2011-12-16T20:41:29ZThe military is destroying one of its best resources, women soldiers. The fires of hostility, contempt and hatred for women soldiers burn fiercely in our Armed Forces. Women soldiers are being sexually abused/raped by their side-by brothers, commanders and doctors with the protection and support of the military.

Women Under Fire: Abuse in the Military shows how our military leadership discounts, hides and changes the evidence of violent crimes in order to protect their image, while destroying the health and careers of valuable women soldiers. Cover-ups like the Penn State sexual abuse of children and Catholic Church abuse scandals.

Women Under Fire: Abuse in the Military describes in graphic detail the culture of abuse that is evident in each of the military services and exposes the “good old boys” system that created and supports it. The collusion extends to the military police, high-ranking officials, the military justice system and the courts, which punish women while rewarding and promoting rapists and abusers. This book makes an impassioned plea for accountability at all levels of the military, for positive change, unbiased congressional investigations into all the military services, and justice for women serving.

I am a nurse psychotherapist and served as an operating room nurse in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps 12th Evacuation Hospital, Cu Chi, Vietnam, during the height of the fighting in 1967.

Women Under Fire is a narrative nonfiction book with a word count of approximately 85,000. The market includes women, women veterans (1.8 million) their family and friends, women in the military (286,005) and the general public.

Marketing of this book will follow the formula learned in the Peggy McColl Best Seller Coaching program and from Steve Harrison’s Publicity Seminar. Sarah will do radio and TV Interviews in response to her ad in Radio-TV Interview Report (RTIR).
