"An emotion-driven masterpiece." The Bookish Elf "One of the most compelling stories I've read." Goodreads Review "Romantic, exciting, surprising - and just a joy to read." Amazon Review Bestselling thriller author Danielle Singleton conquers a new genre in this heartwarming love story about the power of friendship, destiny, and finding what truly matters in life. Starting in the 1980s, Every Star in the Sky follows main characters Richard and Rebecca from the first day they meet in business school through years of friendship, love, loss, and eventually a powerful reunion and redemption.

In 1911, Fr. Johannes Künzle published what would become one of the most important books written on Herbal Medicine in the 20th Century. This bold and outspoken Swiss priest wrote what was little more than a pamphlet on herbs and their use. His brief booklet, of fewer than 40 pages, sought to educate the common people of central Europe about the flowers, weeds and trees that grew in abundance, and how they may be used to treat common illnesses. Like his predecessor, Fr. Kneipp, his vision was of kitchen medicine, folk medicine, and a firm faith that God had provided all an individual of family could need for general health in the "Herbs and Weeds". His little book became a best seller. This led to fame that he generally did not desire, and to clashes with the medical establishment. He challenged that establishment and won court battles, proving that his herbs were sometimes even more effective than their medicine. This made Fr. Künzle an international figure. Fr. Künzle revitalized the tradition of "German Folk Medicine", and his booklet was likely to be found in any German speaking home. Unfortunately, then came the World Wars. Much of the world was at war with Germany and its allies. Books written in the German language were not to be seen in homes in America, England or France (etc.). Fr. Künzle's little booklet was never translated into English during his lifetime; only one such effort was made decades later, and that disappeared quickly. By the 2,000s, only scarce reference was found of Fr. Künzle, even online. I only became aware of his work through Maria Treben, the great Austrian herbalist who once more brought German Folk Medicine to the collective consciousness of the modern world. Made curious by brief mentions of Fr. Künzle in her books, I began a fruitless search for an English translation of his book either to purchase or in libraries. Fortunately, I had an Austrian friend. Jolanta Wittib and I met on The Grow Network Forums. I quickly recognized her as a skilled and experienced herbalist, in the tradition to which I was being drawn. So, I asked her if she would be interesting in collaborating on this book. To my surprise, she did... and, we have spent days and months enjoying and discussing this great work. All credit for the translation and the photos goes to Jolanta. What became evident to us early on was that the simple translation of the work was not sufficient. The brief booklet assumed a regional knowledge of plants. Some plants and many terms would be unfamiliar to English readers. Moreover, much has been learned about herbs and illnesses since Fr. Künzle's time. We decided to write our own commentary on his work, and expand on many points, as professional herbalists. The result was an entirely new work! Do not fear though, Fr. Künzle's words are still there, intact. His wisdom and delightful character shine through. We hope you will enjoy our book, and that it will find a valued place in your library.

"Attorney Casey Winsum and his client, Jake Ramos, were gunned down gangland-style today at the rear of the courthouse in a bloody and brutal attack shortly after the jury delivered its stunning 'Not Guilty' verdict. There was at least one other casualty, but police are withholding information until the news conference scheduled at 6:00. Until then, this is Frank Furder reporting live for Fox 5." Casey, brutally murdered after winning an acquittal for an obviously guilty man, finds himself in the afterlife, but not quite the one he imagined. While being schooled in The OOO Academy, Casey meets an old lover (a touch of erotica!) and a precocious daughter he never knew he had. They try to teach him the finer points and rules associated with the skills learned by all mortals upon reaching the afterlife. It's a struggle to help Casey learn what it means to be a Divine Being and how to Melt, Cern, Prod and Pop responsibly as well as the consequences of doing so irresponsibly. He learns the secrets of the universe and the meaning of life, as both a mortal and as a Divine Being. How Casey uses his skills and for what purpose is an adventure told with humor, tension, deeply powerful emotion, and a strong sense of vicarious involvement with each character.
