  • Ron and Johanna Melchiore Living Off Grid and Loving It
    You're in for a special treat about the true-life story of how Ron, a city boy, came to live 100 miles deep in the Canadian wilderness; how he mastered the discipline of homesteading and an off-grid self-sufficient lifestyle in Maine in preparation for the move to the bush. Join us for an eclectic blend of storytelling ranging from Ron's adventures of bicycling across the United States to his winter hike of the 2100+ mile long Appalachian Trail.
    Experience the terror of being surrounded by wildfire & being touched by a bear. Discover what life is like working in a remote exploration camp. Enjoy firsthand accounts of some of the most breathtaking wildlife encounters. Entertaining & enlightening, the narrative is at times amusing while at other times harrowing.  Appealing to readers with an outdoors, adventurous spirit, people with an off-grid, self-sufficiency bent, and the dreamers’ content to read about adventure.
    You’ll be inspired to “take the road less traveled" simply by the 100+ images that supplement the book.
    About the author: Living off grid since 1980, Ron and his wife, Johanna, have spent the better part of their lives "unplugged." As part of the back-to-the-land movement that originated in the 70's, they have spent their adult years living the homestead dream.

  • Soraya Diase Coffelt, An Author on a Mission
    In 2012, Soraya established As the Stars of the Sky Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation to assist with the physical & spiritual needs of children, centering on improving literacy.
    The idea for the foundation stems from Soraya's passion for ministering to and educating children. It's her firm belief that ‘Reading helps children achieve their divine destinies,’ & reading books about God & His love for us is one of the most important ways to get to know God & have a close relationship with Him. If a child does not have good literacy skills, the child will never be able to achieve what God desires for him/her.  
    As a judge presiding over juvenile and adult criminal cases, Soraya observed the poor literacy skills of the people coming through the justice system, especially young African American and Hispanic men. Soraya firmly believes that more needs to be done to promote the importance of literacy in developing the entire child and reducing crime rates. 
    The name, ‘As the Stars of the Sky," comes from various verses in the Bible which emphasize faith. In Chapter 22 of Genesis, God told Abraham that, because of his faithfulness, God would bless him and all his descendants, who would be as many as the stars of heaven.
    As the Stars of the Sky, Inc.is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation dedicated to helping children by improving their lives. Soraya, a native of St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands & mother of 2 sons, is an author, lawyer, & former judge who served as a parent volunteer & volunteer lay minister in the Children's Ministry. All proceeds from her book sales will be used to promote literacy in a child's life.
