Author
Christina B. Rose lives in the New York suburbs with her hubby, her daughter, and her son. When she’s not nurturing the minds of America’s tiny humans, she’s writing dark romance stories with vivacious, tragic heroines and the deep, dark heroes that love them. She realizes that this is quite the contrast.
She loves to teach, sing, read, and make dumb jokes. She believes that life is simply too short not to have fun and be ridiculous most of the time.

Angie Read Doyal marches to the beat of her own drum. She's a driven and devoted mother of three who had a massive stroke at 46, despite being an active, otherwise healthy woman. She had a career she loved and thrived in, one she never expected to be ripped away without warning. Following more than 20 successful years as a public relations professional, she took a career detour and co-authored a book about marketing to Gen Z. She had plans of traveling the world to speak about this topic she had so much passion for. But the Universe had other plans.
In 2017, two months after a right-side ischemic stroke requiring emergency brain surgery to remove a blood clot, she faced an even more formidable foe while trying to recover and return to work: debilitating anxiety and depression. At the height of her anguish, she spent two back-to-back stints at in-patient mental health facilities. Since early childhood, she'd been a vibrant, energetic, inspirational force of nature. But the sudden onset of anxiety and depression following her stroke temporarily robbed her of that essence. She felt numb inside, and the simple act of existing physically hurt! Her brain seemed to be betraying her.
Angie longed to get back to "normal." For several months, she endured the constant pain and anguish of living with both anxiety and depression. Her struggles required deep resolve, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to healing. She wanted her old life back. She wanted to be here for her kids, husband, and extremely supportive tribe of family and friends. And she wanted to return to the career she loved.
After years of talk therapy, prescription medications prescribed by her psychiatrist, completing an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for anxiety and depression, and applying simple daily tools to help manage her mental health, Angie is back in fighting form. She has returned to the marketing career she so thoroughly enjoys. Once again, she's able to appreciate the small things, like spending time with friends and family, traveling, and weekends boating on the lake near her home in Kansas City. It still requires daily effort to maintain solid, strong mental health, but she has the tools and knowledge to keep a handle on things. And her personal struggles helped her know what to do when her middle son, 22, was going through his own mental health crisis.
Now, Angie is sharing her story—and the tips and tools that helped her survive—to help as many people as possible through her lived experience. Because nobody has to struggle alone. There is hope!

7 years ago, I lost my husband of 30 years, Marcelo. It took me all this time to tell my story and the valuable lessons I learned from this experience.
So I am happy to share that I published my book on Amazon titled 'Moving Forward from Bereavement: Overcoming Grief after the Loss of a Spouse'.
I intended to share what I learned from my experience to have a candid conversation on grief, which is a part of our human experience.
At its core, this is a book on connecting with our Inner Child, finding strength and wisdom, and on letting our heartbreak morph into gratitude for our love and time together.

I'm Esther, a citizen of United Kingdom. I have passion for writing and has always dreamed of becoming an author at a very young age.
This dream became possible through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing. I have written 5 books to date. Before venturing into writing/publishing, I worked in various establishments - Oil Industry, Banking, Local Government, Health and Care Sector, and in Schools. I'm currently working on my 6th book which should be ready in less than 2 days.
I also love research more especially using the internet to discover how to use it to earn money and have also stumbled on eCommerce, Affiliate Marketing and Blogging. I'm always open to learn new skills that will make my life and that of my family better. I'm also a firm believer that we are created into existence by God.

Are we here for a reason? Are we really who we think we are? Are we truly children of God? And are we being fed the whole truth about the world and what's really going on? These are the burning questions that constantly occupy my mind as I delve into the realm of writing.
When it comes to writing, I find myself constantly searching for answers to these profound inquiries. It's as if the act of putting pen to paper somehow unlocks the door to a deeper understanding of our existence
