  How I Wrote and Published My Debut Novel

  Howard Gershkowitz, Author

  TOPIC CATEGORY: Entertainment

  Sitting in the lobby of the historic Hassayampa Inn in Prescott, Arizona, I sipped my coffee and stared at the period pieces surrounding me. It was January 1, 2015 when my eyes landed on the switchboard, circa 1927, and I started day dreaming. What might it have looked like, some young person sitting at the station, routing calls between the guestrooms and the rest of the country? I pictured the roaring 20’s, the coming market crash, the world plunged into the Great Depression, ultimately bringing about World War II and it’s horrifying consequences. What if I could go back and warn them? Stop it somehow? MORE >

  Thus, began this journey back to 1929, where I sent our hero, Harold, to meet Talia Sanders, the operator. Over the course of the next couple of years—in real time—he navigated the interceding nine decades, traveling back and forth, trying to change the past, and, when he fails, to prevent the same thing from happening in the present.

  As the story unfolded in my mind, I had one major problem; most time travel stories break down because of unresolved paradoxes. If you visit the past, don’t you automatically change it by your presence? What if you only go back a few months or years? You run the risk of meeting your younger self, which is a real no-no in terms of theoretical physics. How, then, could I get around it?

  The main concern, as far as I could see, was this little thing called the Law of Conservation of Matter and Energy, If you take a human being and transport him into the past, you simultaneously remove his bulk from the present and insert into another epoch. The Universe should implode immediately upon such a distortion. The answer? Well, if modern theory is right, we can hitch a ride through a wormhole, traveling unimaginable distances across the galaxy without disrupting the flow of time. So why not a slimmed down version to permit local excursions? Why not a ‘squirmhole?”

  Join Harold as he wanders through time in order to prevent the past from repeating itself.

  Make Your Dreams Come True

  Joel Shuflin: Maxwell Leadership, Maxwell Leadership Performance Coach, Maxwell Leadership

  TOPIC CATEGORY: Motivational

  Your dream has power. It can inspire you. It can empower you. But will it reward you?

  Most people fail to realize their potential because their dream remains hypothetical. Put Your Dream To the Test takes your dream from ethereal to achievable. Learn how to crystallize your vision and galvanize your commitment. MORE >

  What is a Dream? It's an inspiring picture of the future that energizes your mind, will and emotions; empowering you to do everything you can to achieve it. A genuine dream is a picture and blueprint of a person’s Purpose and Potential.

  Drawing from the wisdom of John C. Maxwell, and his own experience in moving from day-dreaming to dare-dreaming, Joel will lead your group through the steps of taking ownership for their dreams, and help them answer:

  Is my dream really MY dream or does it belong to someone else?
  Is my dream a clear dream that makes a general idea very specific through effort, affirmation and determination?

  Joel lays out a clear step-by-step path to owning your dream, making it clear, and taking the next steps to bring it to physical reality.
