How Little Fears Rule Our Lives: Dealing With Everyday Fears and Anxieties

Leave a Comment

About How Little Fears Rule Our Lives: Dealing With Everyday Fears and Anxieties:

From the fear of the monster under the bed to the fear of heights, spiders, zombie apocalypse, and being laughed at by our peers, fears are our daily companions. Whether the danger is real or perceived, for us it is real enough and it can, and it does, run our lives. Fear is important. Living without a sense of fear may put us in dangerous situations. But living with constant fear is equally dangerous. It can prevent us from living our lives to the fullest. It can cause chronic stress that affects our physical well-being. This book explores fear, what it is, how our brain creates it, how our culture influences it, how the things we fear changed through history, how to cope with fear, and ultimately how to conquer it.

Solace From Shadows

Leave a Comment

About Solace From Shadows:

Solace From Shadows, the first supernatural romance novel in the completed Heart and Soul series, is a tribute to lost souls who stumble from the shadows of who they were, and into the light of who they were meant to be…

What happens when every moment, tucked within five brief days, becomes a memory? Each touch, and every whisper becomes a soul’s sustenance to live, to hold on, when all seems lost? What if these few days were all that remained in the hourglass of a life lived? A day of rescue. A day of discovery. A day of togetherness. Another of resolution. On the last day…is it one of hope or tragedy? Life or resurrection…or both?

After a tragic wreck claims Elaine Pearson’s family, she embarks on a solo hiking trek into the Blue Ridge Mountains. She only wants to escape her blighted past and the pain of her broken heart. But through a chance encounter with a protective, mysterious stranger, she is thrust into a world where dark creatures that haunted her childhood nightmares are now stalking her from the shadows…and trailing her up a mountain.

During a summer sabbatical, Duke University geneticist, Dr. Ian Kearney, finds Elaine stumbling along the Bartram Trail alone. His slumbering hybrid vampire/lycan soul slowly begins to awaken, and he is unable to resist or deny the persistent soul stirrings that leave him craving a mate. His forgotten human self, however, is also awakening…and the man within wants everything he knows he shouldn’t–her.

Solace From Shadows introduces Elaine, a young widow trying to make amends with her painful past; and Ian, a unique hybrid embodying both vampire and lycan DNA who is searching for more than the hollow existence he’s created among humans. Their struggle to find peace, while coping with a resurrecting past, becomes a test of determination and fortitude when letting go is impossible.

R. W. Patterson recognizes the books in the Heart and Soul series are recommended for Adult Audiences as they contain mature scenes and violence. She also recognizes for story flow, readers are encouraged to read the series in order: Solace from Shadows, Light and Shadows, Dark Night of the Soul, and Light Over Dark Water. Each book is not intended as a stand-alone work.

About The Antidote by Theodore Lovelace:

Many of us are wondering whether we can live a victorious, overcoming, and purposeful (successful) life. We look out into the world and see SO many things that tend to distract us. We look at the church and we see SO many things that disturb us. We look at our own circumstances and we become fearful, depressed, angry, and anxious. We are disillusioned and disheartened by greedy and deceitful people. From OUR OWN point of view the situation seems insurmountable. Sometimes we feel like we’re sinking under the weight of SO many burdens and things coming against us we want to throw in the towel and just give up……….BUT WAIT! HOLD ON!
