Linda Harkey is a multi-award-winning children’s author formerly from Angel Fire in the Sangre De Christo Mts in the U.S. state of New Mexico, now Oklahoma City in the state of Oklahoma. When she lived with her late husband Mike on their thirty-acre ranch in Angel Fire she was surrounded with spectacular scenery and wildlife such as black bears, mountain cougars and elk. It had its advantages and disadvantages living ten thousand feet above sea-level something Linda is going to miss very much, but since the passing of her beloved husband Mike earlier on this year that lifestyle was proving too much of a challenge for her and she has decided to move back to Oklahoma. 

Linda is a past teacher and an enthusiastic hunting dog owner for more than thirty years. Plus, she has spent at least twenty odd years as a volunteer docent at two of Oklahoma’s outstanding museums. Linda was married to Mike a retired surgical pathologist for more years than she cares to recall, she has two children and three grandchildren to date, and one great grandchild, again to date. 

R.I.P Mike, who was ‘The Master’ character in the books.

Charles and Gloria live in the Cairn’s area of Queensland in Australia, an area of outstanding natural beauty. Cairn’s itself is often referred to as the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. Charles and Gloria recently got married due to their religious thinkings and ethos. The path to this union has due to cultural background differences not been an easy journey, yet a journey that brought them ever closer having lost loving spouses from previous relationships. So, let’s have a look at their individual backgrounds.

Charles:

Charles was born in Kecskemet 1939 in Hungary to a German Mother and Hungarian father. Growing up as a child in war-torn Hungary and Germany life was austere. On his tenth birthday he can recall arriving in Port Philip Bay, Melbourne, Australia. The family moved several times in those early years in and around the state of Victoria. Charles quickly learnt to speak English. He attended services at the German Lutheran Church.  Charles graduated from the Universities of Melbourne and Tasmania in Chemistry and Biophysics respectively with a doctorate to follow. While at University he met his Czech born teacher wife Milena who sadly passed away in 2021. Charles’ children Paul and Jennifer have broadly speaking followed in their father’s footsteps into the scientific world. Science and religion often come into conflict as one deals in hard evidential facts and the other on belief from the bible. So, a scientist and a religious person is rare but that is who Charles Pallaghy is. His second marriage to Gloria, as for he is concerned has been a blessing, but it took some convincing to get his son and daughter to accept the situation. Plus, the fact moving from Melbourne to Cairns they thought he was mad. But as Charles said to me off screen,” it’s warmer in Northern Queensland than Melbourne and now that he’s of a certain age he needs all the warmth he can get.”

Gloria:

Gloria was born in the Sepik River area of Papua New Guinea; her parents were Catholics, and her grandparents whom she knew very little about apart from the fact the tribe in their early days partook in cannibalism, something that goes against everything Gloria herself stands for. Gloria at a young age met Casper a Christian and over a period converted to Christianity. Both herself and Casper attended Bible school, their reward was to serve as senior pastors in charge of the Port Moresby Assembly of God church. Their successful work there attracted unwanted attention from within their own families who tried their level best to destroy them by means of powerful witchcraft practises, something that is very much in evidence in Papua New Guinea. These ancient customs are even maintained by some of those in the Christian community. Gloria’s own husband Casper was determined to bring Christianity to his own village, a village where witchcraft was prevalent, even his own brother used it to oppose him. Shortly after returning to his ancestral village Gloria’s husband passed away under suspicious circumstances, was witchcraft a part of his demise, some of the family would side with that outcome. However, this left Gloria with two children destitute and vulnerable in a male dominated society whose treatment of women was nothing short of pure prime evil. Gloria endured the wrath of her male misogynist societal background for years but that did not stop her from becoming a schoolteacher actively mentoring and preparing young people for the world they were about to venture out into. Gloria eventually moved to Australia, but throughout her life even when she thought God had abandoned her, she kept her Christian faith. So, you can see how different Charles and Gloria’s life’s have been.

Since Charles and Gloria got married two books have emerged and this is what this podcast is about the merging of two very different religious upbringings coming together under one roof with fortitude and determination. So, let’s turn our attention to the books.

Check out our video chat here!

The Books

Merging Jew and Gentile for Perfection

When you open this book, you’ll find thirteen chapters of highly interesting conversational areas around two of the world’s great faiths, Christianity and Judaism. Both faiths have their own distinguishing benchmarks, roots, followers and yet what Charles and Gloria have achieved here with this book of theirs is commonality with a unique touch of rationality. Two great religions can co-exist together when given a chance, this is what Charles and Gloria want everyone to see not only through this book but equally through their recent marriage.

To give you a brief outline as to what is in the book I’m highlighting the chapter headings as well as the Overview.

Contents

Overview
Chapter 1 Our Present State of Chaos
Chapter 2 Ancient Israel Exiled from the Promised Land
Chapter 3 Astounding Privileges Through the Blood 30
Chapter 4 Practical Reality of Genesis 1:26
Chapter 5 Gloria and Charles
Chapter 6 Merging Gentile and Jewish Christians: Perfection
Chapter 7 The Bride of Christ
Chapter 8 Those Not in the Bride of Christ
Chapter 9 Ignore the Old Testament at Your Peril
Chapter 10 Restoration of a United Israel
Chapter 11 Messages and Power of the “Chuppah’
Chapter 12 What Can We Say Therefore?
Chapter 13 Let the Love of God Rule Our Hearts: Lessons from Our Marriage

Immortal to the End:
A Challenging True Story of the Supernatural

Eleven chapters of stimulating subject matters revolving around visions, walking in faith, near-death experiences, unity, the second coming and the supernatural glory of God plus other fields of intrigue circumventing religious aspects are on display in this book that Charles has penned.

Again, to give you a brief outline as to what you can expect from Charles’ book here, I’m listing the chapter headings.

Contents

Chapter 1 The Lady in a Black Fur Coat
Chapter 2 My First Vision and Overview
Chapter 3 Walking by Faith
Chapter 4 In the Middle of a crooked Generation
Chapter 5 Near- Death Experiences
Chapter 6 Chosen
Chapter 7 The Hope of Unity
Chapter 8 Satanic Backlash
Chapter 9 Marriage Supper of the Lamb
Chapter 10 Rapture of All Believers Before the Second Coming
Chapter 11 The Supernatural Glory of God

Some very compelling topics of discussion are revealed here. Charles is not averse to controversy when it comes to his religious viewpoints. Have a read is all I say.

Natasha Burrell is a mother of three, who lives on a live style block on the Canterbury Plains of New Zealand’s South Island. If you have ever been there, you’ll fully understand when I say it’s a breathtaking place as is the whole of New Zealand. Before devoting her life to her children, she was a veterinarian, animals and the care of animals have always been a passion of hers, and while she’s not practising now, she still has a menagerie of livestock around her that keeps her busy. When you read her children’s book, you’ll see it does have a certain vet’s angle to it. So, let’s turn to the book.

Check out our video chat here!

The Book

Follow a veterinary tale about a cat who ran across the road in front of a paramedic 

The book revolves around compassion and kindness to animals and is aimed at 5–6-year-olds. It’s a sweet, charming story about a cat that got knocked down by a paramedic on her way to a call out. The story is based on a true event that took place close to Dunedin. The narrative tale of St John the cat tells the journey from his accident to his recovery process to becoming lifelong friends with the paramedic. The illustrations are relevant, engaging and easy for a young child to understand the story. A nice book for a bedtime read to be enjoyed by a young child on their own depending on their reading ability or a shared moment with a parent or grandparent. Children who love animals and might want to work in pet rescue situations or who are thinking of becoming veterinarians will find this book very interesting. 

I enjoyed it, there again I’m just a big kid at heart like most so-called grownups!

James M Corkill is a veteran and retired Federal Firefighter of thirty-two-years from Washington State in the United States. Prior to those years in the fire service, he was an electronic technician and in his spare time he studied mechanical engineering something he enjoyed very much.

Writing was never at the heart of James’ life but in 1997 he embarked on a new mission in life and that was to write. James worked on his first Book Dead Energy for several years and with his wife’s failing health due to cancer he rushed to get it published in 2002 so that he could proudly hold up a copy to his wife before she passed. Throughout the writing process of that book, he very much welcomed the mentoring skills of Hugh Barnett Cave the British and Jamaican horror author who he met in 1997. 

After his wife’s death life turned into a downward spiral for James with alcohol being at the core of his daily life, it took some considerable time for him to adjust and come to terms with the loss of his soulmate who had for many years being at the very heart as to he was.  In 2013 he bumped into a total stranger who had read his first book Dead Energy, that stranger encouraged him to write again. He quit the booze and relaunched the Alex Cave series with gusto and to date there are seven books in the series so let’s turn to the books to see what they are about.

Check out our video chat here!

The Books

The Alex Cave Thriller Series

Action Adventure, Science Fiction Mystery Thrillers

The first three books of the series are in themselves a mini-series.

The Energy Saga Trilogy 

Dead Energy
Cold Energy
Red Energy

The other four books that make up The Alex Cave Series are very much part of the network, but the storylines are loosely independent of each other.

Gravity
Pandora’s Eyes
DNA
Parallel

You do, however need to read The Energy Saga Trilogy before you open the other books as those plots what make much sense to you.

Dead Energy

This book is a phenomenal ride when it comes to, nail-biting suspense accompanied with electrifying dramas. Alex Cave is the main character, he worked for the American Intelligence service the CIA, his work there involved complex and challenging projects. When is wife is murdered Alex steps away from the CIA for a quieter life as a geology teacher, but his new life didn’t last long. The Director of National Security Martin Donner reaches out to Alex asking for assistance as crude oil tankers across the globe are being attacked, not only tankers but oil refineries and oil pipelines vital to providing civilisation with basic amenities are also targeted. What has happened to that missing crude oil? What are those innocuous vials of crystal powder? Who are Reverend Menno Simons and his followers? And what’s their beef around environmental issues connected to crude oil? Want to know? Well, you’ll have to read the book.

Cold Energy

The second book in the overall series and The Energy Saga Trilogy, is another all-engrossing chain of dynamic events, spills and thrills. The story revolves around a frozen ocean that freezes within minutes. The consequence of this seismic event impacts the world’s climatic patterns. If the situation isn’t brought under control quickly then civilization as we know it could be faced with unequivocable ecological issues. Alex as a geophysicist is called to investigate the situation. The advanced alien technology discovered on the Aleutian Islands is stolen and sent to COBRA a private top-secret research facility close to Yellowstone National Park. The top scientists there are baffled with what they have been presented with. What is this alien technology? Who’s behind the snatch? And who on Alex’s secret mission on board the research vessel is jeopardising proceedings? Hmm…

Red Energy

Alex Cave is faced with a new set of troubles like those he had to confront in the previous book. This time the story is about the rapidly expanding Polar Ice Sheet. The Ice sheet has spread thousands of square miles within a matter of minutes. Alex receives a message from a friend in Northern Canada. The Ice this time is crystal clear. Alex heads north and again he ventures onto the research vessel Mystic and again he encounters an uncooperative crew, particularly the captain. What secrets he uncovers is simply mind-blowing.

Hmm…what an exciting trilogy and start to the overall series.

Gravity

A science fiction narrative that incorporates giant globules of molten rock floating up out of an ancient glacier, a dormant volcano deep within a mountain that Alex and friend O’ Conna explore, what they discover is frightening. Who is Janis Sloan?  What’s her motive to stealing? And has she bitten off more than she can chew with the device she has stolen and abandoned? What is the device that has the capability of dragging satellites and the International Space Station back to earth and more horrifyingly attract a gold asteroid to collide with the earth, the consequences of which are simply unimaginable. 

This is a real page turner of a book, no wonder it has four awards.

Pandora’s Eyes

The colour of your eyes will determine your fate in this book. Alex Cave is confronted with another set of worrying factors that have the potential to jeopardise Earth’s functionality. What are the four artifacts Alex has unearthed? Where are they presently? What is the connection between the devices that have gone missing and Pandora a blue-eyed woman who has just been awoken? Why does she determine brown eyes as a degenerative gene? What of her ultimatum for all brown-eyed humans to be voluntarily killed to save her own kind? 

A fascinating read.

DNA

DNA and social media postings will determine who will be chosen to survive a coming apocalypse. Mya Austin is an archaeologist for the Sioux Nation, she has discovered a Colorado cave that has a 25-thousand-year-old drawing depicting two human visitors from space. The message written below the drawing in ancient Sioux indicates that they will return in 25-thousand-years. Carbon dating determines that their return is imminent sometime this year. To verify her understanding she needs the support of a geophysicist to resolve the age of the rock strata, alas Alex Cave is brought into the equation. The two humans from space have indeed returned in the characters Vesta and Paul. The news they bring is not good, and they offer to take five hundred people back with them for a new life. But Alex is suspicious of Vesta’s intentions and when the real reason for their return is exposed Alex and his team embark on a concerted effort to change the course of time and ultimately earth’s future. 

Parallel

Some experiments should never be attempted, Ex-CIA operative and geophysicist Alex Cave searches for the source of seismic activity in the Pacific Ocean. What he discovers is an ancient alien laboratory, getting in is the easy part but getting out is far more complex. 

A deep sinister storyline full of intrigue. A great read.

Scott C Meischen is an author, teacher, consultant and encourager according to the call of God. Scott grew up in the Christian church but understood that as a young adult, his faith was nothing more than a cultural legacy of Christianity. Professionally trained and in the daily practice of truth (and falsehood) detection (as an internal auditor and single father of three) he found his way (at the prompting of God the Holy Spirit) to authentic biblical faith in the Faith: authentic, orthodox Christianity. Led by God and aided by many outstanding ministries, he found his way to the New Life, which was only made possible by engaging in an authentic love relationship with Jesus Christ. Today, Scott ministers in his local church as a faithful member, Bible teacher and Christian apologist to those also seeking a Jesus-sourced New Life, a Live Wise life. Scott lives with his wife, Debbie, their six adult children and their spouses, and eleven grandchildren in the Central Texas area. He is a graduate of Texas A&M University, the University of Texas, and is a certified Public Accountant (CPA) and a Distinguished Toastmasters (DTM).

The Book

This soul searching, enriching book for me is written for the person who as the title suggests is probing for a more fulfilled life, a life spiritually enhanced with God’s wisdom and love, a life where Christian values are at the heart of their everyday activities. The book is extremely well written and although it’s quite lengthy in total it carries some significant messages that we can all learn from. Scott has broken the main thrust of the ideology behind his philosophical approach into three journeys. The first journey is headed up ‘The Salvation Journey’ and comprises five areas of spiritual exploration. The second Journey headed up as ‘The Sanctification Journey’ has six areas of topical debate about further exploratory avenues to consider to lead a Live Wise Christian life. And finally, the third journey ‘The Glorification Journey,’ with one area of consideration. But I have to say to fully understand and appreciate the over-riding concept of the book you would be well advised to spend some time getting to grips with the Glossary and Acronyms section that fronts the book as Scott does draw heavily on this segment for pure reference points to substantiate his ideological thinking’s throughout the book as a Whole. Has this book been written as a bedtime cosy read! No. It’s a guidebook as the subtitle alludes to, to help people enrich their spiritual lives and overall make them better people as they progress through life with all its complexities and uncertainties.

It’s a debilitating condition that can have a huge impact on a person’s mental health along with well-being. At times it has governed, consumed not only Theresa’s life but those close to her like her husband and daughter.

Pam Henry Smith is an American author from Hot Springs, Arkansas in the U.S. She grew up in Pine Bluff and following her parent’s divorce she and her sister Paula spent a lot of time with both sets of grandparents and the wonderful relationships they had with them is really the backbone to the tale in this debut book. Pam’s father was a successful businessman who was probably a workaholic, but still had time for his daughters. Her mother to whom Pam was close to, worked in finance and flourished in her own right. I think having chatted to Pam that both she and her sister inherited traits from their parents and both sets of grandparents which has made them both survivors.

Pam taught for for thirty-two-years at elementary level something she both enjoyed and excelled at, this enthusiasm for education she has passed on to all her students plus her three children and now grandchildren with whom she has a very close bond with. 

Divorce is tough for kids having to deal with a completely new set of rules, something Pam and Paula found hard to adjust to, nevertheless adjust they did, but for Pam it taught her to be tough, independent with a loving caring attribute to her nature, this enduring quality she developed she has passed on, not only to her own children and grandchildren to who as I have already hinted at she cherishes wholeheartedly, but equally all of her students she taught over the years, in particular encouraging young girls to be strong when pursuing their choices in life. 

Retirement means different things to different people, for Pam it’s the opportunity to follow new adventures and now that she has dipped her toe into the world of writing, who knows what will be coming down the line, hopefully more books. Pam has always been a strong advocate for literacy and maybe now that she has more time to devote to this passion of hers, we’ll see her flourish as a successful author. Watch this space is all I say.

So, let’s have a sneak preview as to what this debut book of hers is all about.

Check out our video chat here!

The Book

This is a children’s book and depending on the individual child’s reading ability a book for them to read themselves or with a parent/grandparent. Either way for me it’s a great bedtime read. The author in her interview notes to me sees the book as a book for all generations to simply enjoy. So, what is the book about? Well, it’s the story of a brightly coloured Amazon parrot called Mack, and it’s a true tale. The story is delightfully told over twenty-four pages against the backdrop of bright wonderful illustrations that really do set the scene. The narrative starts on the journey home from a summer trip to Disneyland in 1964 when the author’s father bought a parrot both for the author and her sister plus grandparents. Mack brought a lot of joy to the family, equally frustration, for Mack wasn’t to everyone’s taste, particularly grandad Guy as Mack’s incessant chattering often got on his nerves. It’s really a story of how an adorable pet can tighten the bonds of family relations, particularly grandchildren and grandparents. The author herself spent a lot of time with her grandparents of both sets and to this day still cherishes those special times with them and of course Mack the Amazon parrot with all his cheek and bravado.

The book is a special book for grandchildren and grandparents to enjoy those treasured moments that leave us all with an indelible mark on our lives.

Peter Boaz Jones was born Klaus Jurgen Clodt in Albrechts, Germany towards the end of WW2. In 1948 he moved with his family to the UK. A German name at that time would have made life extremely difficult for him, so for all the obvious reasons his name was changed to Peter Jones. What it is today, came about by using his father’s last name, as a middle name, as his bank in the 90s requested he use one. When I look at Peter’s life, I think it would be fair to say that he has pursued a variety of Christian denominations some of whom he no longer has an affiliation to, and others still breathe Christian values that are important to him. Similarly, when you look at his working life, he has again dabbled his toes into a cross section of professions, accountancy to HGV driver, just to name but two of them.  I think it would be open-minded of me to say that Peter has walked many paths of interest in his life, but the one overriding factor that has been constant throughout his time on this planet has been the Bible and what that book has revealed to him I think I can justifiably say forms the basis of his highly interesting book that we are about to reveal. 

So, let’s take the latch off the door and enter Peter Boaz Jones’ world of Christian thinking, as we uncloak the contents of this very absorbing book.

The Book

This is a well-executed and cultivated submission, showing how well the four gospels really do work well in relation to each other depicting the life and ministry of Jesus, despite their individual formations that some in the Christian communities see and judge as slightly being at odds with each other.  What Peter has successfully achieved here by drawing attention to the similarities and differences in each gospel is giving the reader differing angles to consider and contemplate on, sufficient to want them to delve further into the book to ascertain what really is at the heart of his ideological thinking. 

When you open the book apart from the dedication, acknowledgements, notes, introduction and appendices sections there are fifty-four wonderfully compiled chapters. Now in this interview we are not going into all aspects of the book, but as a means of giving you a flavour as to what you can expect the following chapters will be openly discussed, they are:

Chapter 2: The Annunciations
Chapter 5: Jesus Prepares for his Mission
Chapter 8: From Galilee to Jerusalem
Chapter 29: Hypocrisy of Some of the Hierarchy
Chapter 34: The Kingdom of God
Chapter 43: The Last Supper
Chapter 45: MT Olives and Gethsemane
Chapter 51: Jesus Fulfils Scripture

Enjoy the book is all I say, as Peter Boaz Jones takes you on a Christian journey with a twist.

Her Righteousness Ekhosuehi Ibie is a Nigerian lady living in London in the UK, she is a Christian who has been in confrontation with the kingdom of darkness for over twenty years. She is a strong Christian who genuinely believes in the power of God, due largely to the fact that darkness is afraid of her, she was able to counter all their false accusations with the word of God. She decided to write prayers while under attack. As a result, she has a prayer for almost every situation in life. She has a prayer anointing and has been using her gift to make a difference privately and internationally. This is one area in which darkness has attacked her the most, by wrestling with her prayers to disprove them and coming in between herself and her daughter to disprove her prayers to her daughter. Ekhhosuehi was shocked by the extent of the unity of forces of darkness against Christians. One of the strongmen she came to know revealed to Ekhosuehi that darkness attacks Christians to confuse them. To discredit the Bible and draw people away from God. However, Ekhosuehi did not let them discourage her especially when they threatened her daughter. The plight of darkness is the same as Christ said in The New Testament, to steal, kill and destroy. However, God has proven over and over again that He is above all gods and Powers.

The Book

This prayer book is a collection of powerful, insightful and purposeful spiritual messages. Some of the prayers are reflective, others are thought-provoking, but they cover a large area of everyday life dealing with the forces of darkness that collude with evil to distract, hide and confuddle those seeking a more righteous Christian path to the true meaning of the Lord’s reign. Darkness and evil verses light and the truth with spiritual intuition is at the very core of this insightful prayer book of Christian substance.

When you look at the prayer book which took some considerable time for the author to compile, you’ll see that Her Righteousness has grouped the meaningful prayer under eight categories which are laid out as follows:

Family Prayers
Prayers for Health and Wellbeing
Marriage and Troubled Marriages
Activating Angelic Assistance
Prayers for the Day and Night
Prayers for Spiritual Warfare
General Prayers
Prayers for the Nations

A note from the author is equally a significant and essential part of this book.

Dr Barry Wren has had a distinguished medical career in Australia operating in the field of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. His later years in the profession saw him working in the field of gynaecological endocrinology particularly around the area of hormonal changes in older women and the impact those changes had on those women. Broadly speaking his work in this critical and important area of medicine earned him one of Australia’s highest decorated awards “The Australia Medal.” His work and commitment to his area of expertise led to a professorship and has taken him to many far-flung places across the globe. This glittering career stemmed from very humble beginnings on a farm, (Sheep station) I believe they call them in Australia, sitting at home with his three siblings around the kitchen table under the watchful eye of his mother who was determined to ensure that the postal lessons were done before working on the farm with his father. The days of no electricity, no radio, limited phone access and the nearest neighbours with children of a similar age being eight kilometres made for a happy childhood but equally a very restricted childhood, but that was rural life in the 1930’s in New South Wales, Australia. Can you image a ten-year-old today having no smart phone in their hand and no wi-fi connection, life wouldn’t be worth rolling out of bed for. What a change!!!

At fourteen Barry was selected to attend a proper school in Sydney, an agricultural school. From there Barry aspired to Sydney University and on a whim, he chose medicine eventually specialising in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Thirty-nine years as consultant gynaecologist at The Royal Hospital for Women in Sydney opened his eyes as to how women in general were being treated by men and society.  Dr Barry quickly learnt that there was more to be a gynaecologist than just being a doctor who dealt with births and medical complications and issues. Barry has written numerous books and countless papers on the menopause, so this latest book of his ‘Sex! (For Females Only) is another masterpiece for him to proudly display on the bookshelf. 

So, lets turn our attention to the book, but first I must get him off the golf course to talk about it.

Check out our video chat here!

The Book

This book is an anthology written to re-examine the chronological events that have evolved over time to bring about today’s social exchange of views in respect to female gender inequality. Dr Barry takes us back thousands of years to explore how man then perceived how a woman should be viewed in society and equally how women positioned themselves in that same civilization, compared to how a woman’s position in the wider community is regarded today. The path has been slow and imbalanced as different cultures and communities have adopted different stances. The more liberally minded nations have moved at a far faster pace than some of the moreover far right ultra conservative sovereign states, who many in the world today still consider have along way to go on the road of social and political emancipation.

The book is short in stature, no more than seventy odd pages, but what it lacks in size it certainly doesn’t disappoint when it comes to the content and the brilliance of the writing seen, something you would rightly expect from a highly educated and professional author like Dr Barry G Wren. 

When you open the book the contents page reveals fourteen short powerful chapters, those chapters are headed up as follows:

Sex! (for females only)
The Heritage of Sex
Sex Politics
Sex Education
Sex for Sale
Sex- Is It Lawful?
Sex-Historical Mythology
Sex and Mythology
Sex Hormones
Sex- Significance of Hormone Receptors
Sex, Myths, and Creation
Sex and Menopause
Sex-Menopause
Sex- Gender Dissonance 

A powerful and insightful read is how I would describe this book.
