Did I ask to be born? Did I ask to be middle class? Did I ask my girlfriend to introduce me to marijuana? Well, okay, maybe yes on that last one. But I did not ask to have the Mafia, a Mexican drug lord, an Amish hit man, and the Hollywood Screen Actor's Guild all trying to kill me while I smuggle two illegal aliens across the border with a 1,000 pounds of grass in my trunk. That just sort of happened. Karma, right?

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. If we’ve been fortunate, there was a teacher in our life who chose to believe in us even when the entire world wouldn’t. They focused on what we could become, instead of who we were at that point in time. Most importantly, they had an unshakable belief in our potential for personal greatness and the power of the human spirit. The Greatest Teacher in the World is a testament to their patience and persistence. For those of us who weren’t so fortunate, you will find comfort in knowing about a teacher that cares deeply about you. She believes in you more than you believe in yourself. In the lessons of the 63-year-old Professor Izmir, you will discover what it means to have a life of meaning and purpose.

As her parents' finances plummet towards the poverty line and beyond, the Cooks end up living high above an insignificant seaside town, in a creaky tree-house with a leaky loft.

The novel WORMWOOD, by John I Coby, is a narrative of the times before, during and after a catastrophic, extinction-level event (ELE) caused by the impact of a rogue comet with Earth. It tells tales of Earthlings and Aliens negotiating through a Biblical event, through a mass extinction. The only kind of future that can be predicted by anyone is one with mathematical certainty - for example, the orbit of a comet. A gargantuan comet hurtles through interstellar space on its elliptical trajectory towards an extinction-level impact with Earth. The Aliens have known about it for over 6000 years. Adam is unknowingly chosen, by the Aliens, for relocation as part of a grand plan to save the Earth's species from certain extinction. WORMWOOD is a re-edited compilation of 2023, 2023.2 and 2123.

Mystic Tattoos is about a self-discovery, about our spiritual journey and lessons learned. It about finding oneself and growing in that self-discovery. It is an adventure into the mystic and the unknown. Being a Medium, I asked for Spiritual guidance and at the end of the book have given predictions for the next five years. So if you like Spiritual fantasy (and who doesn't,) I am sure that you will enjoy reading. The added plus are my psychic predictions for the next five year. Believe or not, but a closed mind is a limitation all by itself.
