Melisa Schonfield is a woman with a difference in her life. A difference, which up to a certain point was probably seen by those around her as an ideal middle-class American lifestyle. But one event that she says she was driven to, in order to protect her family changed all that. Did it! Most definitely. Melisa’s life before that occurrence was a devoted mother raising two successful children. She was the eldest of three, and only girl. Her father served in the Marines before supporting his family with a career in the cosmetic industry. Melissa was not always a New Yorker, she was born in Brooklyn and raised in northern New Jersey. She married a dentist, and for eight years played Army wife. Melisa graduated from Syracuse University with a degree in social work, that world was everything to her, she gained so much experience from the people she engaged with, her main focus was eventually in the field of psychotherapy, now that was an area, she had great affection for, but again one event but a stop to all that. What was this one event that changed Melisa’s life so much? A spell in prison! What for? Well, read the book to find out.

Life after prison is very different to what it was before, now divorced and with her licences to continue her work as a psychotherapist rescinded, Melisa now coaches people with some of their social and mental issues instead. Her daughter and grandson now live with her, and she has taken to writing with a more rigorous approach. This book is her documented viewpoint of circumstances that led up to her arrest, the trial and her experiences of New York state penal system. A gripping story from an author whose love of writing stems right back to her teenage years with her personal diaries which she kept under lock and key as a means of keeping her younger brothers’ beady eyes from seeing what she had written.

Why has Melisa written this book, for revenge! No. Would she liked to have said more! Yes. But for legal constraints and protective issues she’s given you a balanced view. Her real aim behind reason for publishing this book is to give hope and a voice to women who have been incarcerated for carrying out an act that they felt they had no other choice but to carry out. An act done to protect those they love.

So, let’s turn to the book.

Check out our video chat here!

The Book

There are nine chapters to this extraordinary book that lays bare the documented circumstances that led up to Melisa’s arrest, the trial procedures and the experiences of life behind bars in a New York State Prison. Some of you might debate my calculation of nine chapters as only eight are listed, but I’m including the one chapter in part three of the book as the nineth chapter for that’s how I see. For me the foreword and the preface: just the facts, are two fundamental sections of the book for they alone set the scene with clarity and punctiliousness.  The Chapters are written in such away that yes, there’s a story coming across, but equally the facts surrounding the story are given to you as well. I think, the areas of the book, which are exceptionally written, that I personally found compelling were the Foreword, Chapter 1: The Dream, Chapter 3: Mama Bear, chapter 8: Life at Taconic Correctional Facility in Bedford Hills, New York, and Part 3: The Light at the End of the Tunnel.

Is this book worth a read! Most definitely.

Scott Roux was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the US, he splits his time between Boulder City Nevada and Antigo a small rural community in Wisconsin. He has a deep faith that has sustained him throughout his life. He attended a Catholic school before serving in the military. Scott while working as a sales executive for twenty-seven years obtained a degree in Marketing from a California University, all achieved while supporting a family of two, a son and a daughter. 

The relationship he had with his biological mother a native American and the role a loving Grandmother played is interesting. Scott’s father was very much in the boys’ lives, but what he experienced in one of the worst rampage shootings in Wisconsin in November 2004 impacted all concerned. This event is talked about in the book.

Despite the many ups and downs in Scott’s life the event that had the most impact on his life was the road accident he endured when a two-ton truck collided with his car, the traumatic brain injury he suffered changed his life completely as he could no longer carry out many of the normal everyday life events he so much enjoyed. Scott is still adapting to a different life, the road to a full recovery has and continues to be a slow process. 

In 2020 while on a trip to the Grand Canyon with his daughter two eagles buzzed them from above, for Native Americans the spirit of the eagle is a powerful totem (hence it’s the symbol of America) Scott took their presence as a sign to start writing this book of his, so let’s turn to the book.

Check out our video chat here!

The Book

Thirty-one breath-taking chapters about the life of the author Scott Roux is what you can expect from this book. The events that unfold within the pages here are so profound and overpowering, that once read you can begin to understand how Scott’s life has been shaped and driven by these experiences.

The book is written with such amazing clarity, openness and frankness as Scott takes you on the journey of his life from birth to almost present day. When you look at the chapters, you’ll see Scott has chosen a quote from a variety of people to head them up, but each quote has some bearing to the contents within. Ultimately, Scott wants each of you to consider your own everyday meanings that impact your life, and how your past has influenced those meanings, and how the present impacts on them and how those every day meanings could influence your future. More importantly he wants you to momentarily reflect on three key areas that impact all our lives. Who am I? Why am I here? And what is life all about? 

Yes, Scott wants you to think about yourself and the chain of events that shape your very existence, but he’s done it in such a clever and highly imaginative way, all told against a backdrop of a confounding story about himself, which is riveting, tense and a real page-turner. 

The Native American connection is fascinating, hence the image on the cover. What is that connection? Well, you’ll have to read the book and watch the interview to find out for I’m not about to give that episode of his life away here.

Part of the royalty proceeds from the sale of the books will go to St Jude’s Ranch Senior centres and Mole Lake Reservation.

Salty Yeom is from Daegu in South Korea, he comes from a scientific and mathematical academic background. Salty has attended various universities in his home country but has long held a desire to extend his scholarly education in the sciences by attending the prestigious University of Stamford in the US. Salty strongly believes that education is a fundamental right that should be open to all, for education is key to knowledge and knowledge is key to a successful and fruitful life. Salty currently coaches young students in Maths. His religious thinking’s are quite unique, it’s almost as if he’s combining religious teaching with scientific evidence. Of course, those with a scientific mindset are nearly always looking to justify a theory, teaching with proven facts to support the ideology. For me life isn’t always so clinical and at times you simply have to go with your gut instinct, which as we all know doesn’t come with rhyme or reason attached to it.

Check out our video chat here!

The Books

He is Back: Ten Pieces of Evidence

This is Salty’s second book, is it a follow on from his first book God’s Plan? Or is that just coincidental. Maybe if he writes more books on this subject matter, he might consider grouping all the books under a series. Who Knows!

But for the purpose of this podcast interview we’re mainly focusing on his book ‘He is Back: Ten Pieces of Evidence.’

In this book, Salty examines the prophecy of the second coming, proving evidence that our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ will be returning. When! well, that’s the big question and only God knows the answer to that question. The evidence Salty covers off in this book, is split into ten pieces (hence the subtitle) nicely divided into three Acts/parts. The book also finds Salty addressing such key areas such as:

What signals are given that could possibly indicate Jesus’ forthcoming return.

What conclusions can we draw from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Why must we be cautious of the existence of false Christs.

What signs pointed to Jesus’ initial arrival.

Salty also discusses the prophecies of the so-called Second Coming of Jesus in the New Testament, plus rejection of Jesus due to recognition issues surrounding his identity, form and appearance outside of Israel.

Other Books by Salty Yeom

God’s plan; Alpha & Omega of Covid-19

Salty Yeom’s debut book God’s Plan you might perceive as a book coming from a different angle pertaining to certain religious theories. I wouldn’t go as far as to say his views are radical, but they are certainly thought-provoking, so to ant erudite reader who likes a provocative book around religious ideologies then his is the book for you to analyse, and maybe challenge the author’s viewpoints.

The book touches on the recent pandemic of 2020 that besieged the world in so many ways. Was the Pandemic part of God’s plan as a sign of judgement on mankind or was it a menacing virus that wreaked havoc across the world with no intervention from a higher so-called being. Religion, whatever your views or beliefs certainly dominates our everyday lives. Salty Yeom I would say has some strong views here, which when I first chatted to him struck me as odd, particularly when you learn he comes from a scientific and mathematical background subjects that he teaches young students in Daegu, South Korea where he lives. My conception of scientists is that they find it hard to accept the bible’s version of man’s origin for they usually want evidence, proof so to speak rather than just believing, so for me Salty appears to have broken the mould here which for me is odd. It’s an intriguing read with interesting viewpoints, so go and have a look.

Spider Man in the Kingdom of the insects

Peter Parker worked in a very large scientific company dealing with things like radiation, which of course is how he came to be Spider Man. Now the company was working on how to miniaturize things to make them very very small. Peter was the lead scientist in this project as it was his idea and strong belief it could be done. He was working with fellow scientist Bart Black, who had long been in Peter’s shadow there at the company.

Peter had just made a major breakthrough in bringing about making things happen. Bart was always rather jealous of Peter and his brilliant mind which was full of imagination and creativity. So, the day finally came when Peter was ready to test his miniaturization machine on a large object. He picked a human dummy about his own size and placed it in the target zone where his new Gamma ray gun was to shoot it full of Gamma rays. He was looking to make the dummy the size of an insect.

He returned to the control room and told Bart to turn on the machine and fire it at the dummy. Unfortunately, the laser beam missed the dummy very narrowly. Peter told Bart to wait before trying again. You see, the laser gun was stationary and hard to move. Peter thought it would be easier to simply move the dummy a little so as to have a direct shot from where the gun was now aimed.

But before Peter could move the dummy to the right place, which was where he was standing, Bart fired the laser gun and hit Peter instead! Peter screamed out, ‘what have you done Bart?’ Bart just looked at him with a big smile and said, ‘I guess we’ll find out won’t we.’ Peter was in disbelief! He told Bart to press the alarm button and seal of the lab. Peter wasn’t really sure what might happen next.

So, a few minutes went by with seemingly nothing happening.  Then suddenly Peter began to feel something happening with his body. It reminded him of when the radioactive spider bit him. Only this time, he began to notice everything around him getting bigger. This didn’t make sense at first to him. Then he realized it wasn’t that things were getting bigger, but he was getting smaller!!!

‘It worked,’ he shouted out to Bart! ‘It sure did’ answered Bart with a devious smile on his face. Peter just kept getting smaller and smaller, till at last he stopped. Peter then asked Bart how small he was. Bart told him while laughing, ‘you’re as small as a spider.’ Peter Parker was so proud of this moment. Then Bart followed with, ‘and what do we do with pests like spiders? We get rid of them of course.’

It was at this moment! Peter understood this was no accident. Bart had done this on purpose. And now Bart was going to remove him from the picture altogether! Peter knew he better get out of there fast!! Bart was making his way down to the area where Peter was. Then Peter remembered, he might be small, but he as still Spider Man!! So, Spider Man he was.

Spider Man shot out his web to the upstairs area where Bart had just come from. Bart was busy trying to find Peter on the floor where he had been. The webbing, Spider Man shot out wouldn’t quite reach the upstairs. What was Spider Man to do then? Suddenly he saw a fly going in that direction and he shot his webbing at the moving fly. What luck! Spider Man got a direct hit on the flying insect as he flew upstairs.

Spider Man let go and was falling to the floor, so he thought. But all of a sudden, his fall was broken by of all things, a spider web! ‘You have got to be kidding me he thought.’ Then before he could think next, a great big spider came towards him and started to attack him. Spider Man quickly jumped on the spider’s back and rode him across the web. Spider Man next shot his webbing around the spider’s legs so the spider couldn’t move anymore.

Spider Man said, ‘see ya brother.’ and shot his trusty webbing at the ray gun. It was a direct hit right at the on/off switch! Meanwhile Bart was standing right on the target zone where he had zapped Peter previously with the ray gun. He had a completely frustrated look on his face. That’s when Spider Man tugged with all his might on his thread of webbing and pulled down the switch turning on the ray gun.

The powerful Gamma rays hit Bart right between the eyes. Then Spider Man turned the gun slightly by pulling on his webbing. Lastly, he tugged the switch down to REVERSE and the Gamma rays shot at the space next to Bart. Spider Man then leaped and soared downwards to that very spot. He landed successfully and stood there as the Gamma rays hit his little Spider Man body.

It was at this time. All the other scientists entered the seemingly empty control room to see Bart just standing there not knowing what to do or say. The scientists kept questioning him as to the whereabouts of Peter Parker. The something incredible happened. Peter started growing back to his original size. At the very same time Bart began to shrink until he was now the size of a spider!

Peter scooped his hand down and picked up Bart. Peter then said with a big smile on his face, ‘boy have I got a story to tell you guys!!!

He went to Mararishi International University as well as Longwood University where he obtained a degree in History. In the past he has been a teacher and a park ranger two very contrasting careers you might say, nevertheless he enjoined these diverse pathways, to which we add his love of creative literature, hence his love of writing. He firmly believes that we and especially young adults/mature kids can overcome all our inner inhibitions and achieve the goals we set ourselves, be they big or small. For Bob the best way to subtlety conveys this message to the younger generations was through his creative storytelling, hence his choice to write for 9-12 -year-olds.

The Book

This book is a same sex sci-fi romance novel, its deeper message is about anyone who is in societal eyes different and how orthodox religious teachings prejudices those that are seen, viewed as non- compliant with historical scriptural teachings. The point of the book is to give support and understanding to anyone struggling with their religious practices and ideologies, and their individual sexuality. At times in the book the author Mark’s views in this sensitive area are quite determined and beguiling.

Helen Pauline Slater is a woman who has led a varied and adjustable life. Born in the sixties in Bristol in the UK, where she still lives today. As a child she would often take herself off into the woods to enjoy the beauty of the natural world and at the same time take the inner peace she found there to talk to God. Growing up she accomplished numerous academical successes cumulating in attending a University of Building & Construction an area she pursued in her professional life until she fell ill in 2018. 2018 was a low point in her life feeling disenchanted and betrayed by who she saw as her God she sought alternative divine routes. Helen reached out to divine guides that she believes took her on a new journey, a journey that she gives credence to resolving her state of mind at that time, bringing about the person who she is today.  Helen has long explored several spiritual paths from devotional singing, Buddhistic meditation and Shamanistic, along with alternative medicine approaches. I think it would be a fair assumption to say that Helen has an open mind approach to life, which when I looked at the book came across quite admirably. 

Check out our video chat here!

The Book

This book has been a journey for Helen P. Slater as she reveals the experiences that have shaped her life and hopefully others to follow. The forty-nine chapters that make the narrative are remarkable, powerful and insightful. The areas of topical issues are breathtakingly written with a sublime touch of reality to them. Is the end of the world nigh! Is Yeshua, a common alternative form of the name Yehoshua in Hebrew, Iesous in Greek, Iesus in Latin and Jesus in English the saviour for all! Helen’s thought-provoking viewpoints may not be to everyone’s cup of tea, nevertheless, are intriguing and highly captivating. For those of you that have a spiritual perspective that is a fundamental part of your life, then this is a must-read book, very much written from the author’s own perceptive observations.

When you think you know someone closely only to discover there’s an unknown part to them which they have chosen to keep hidden from you, and that invisible skeleton in the cupboard is revealed by a third party or as in this case in black and white print on a legal document, one can only start to comprehend the initial stirrings and feelings that person must initially be having.

Claire Langstrom the main character portraying this beautiful and sensitive story is a person who likes her own company, and society sees her very much as a loner, which is her choice, but what is revealed in her late grandmother’s will indicates in no certain terms she’s not alone. This revelation changes Claire’s entire thinking of who she is. The journey to ascertain the authenticity of what has been confessed will either end in joy or woe. It’s a story with themes of rejection, abandonment, and hate set against the backdrop of Canada’s early days of history particularly surrounding the treatment of some people facing a life with challenging disabilities. At the core of this narrative is a sensitive blend of faith, romance, and mystery magically woven together to create this epic tale.

MaryEllen was born in northern Ontario, Canada to Italian Immigrants parents who emigrated to Canada from Italy after WW2. Like most first generation Canadians the choice was driven by the prospects of a better life both financially and circumstantial. The path that lay in front of her parents was far from easy, MaryEllen’s father died when she was ten years old leaving her mother whose native tongue wasn’t English struggling emotionally and financially with the prospects of raising a young family on her own, juggling multiple low paid jobs and balancing motherhood is no mean fate for any woman placed in that position. 

Early memories of relative impoverishment have been the driving force behind much of MaryEllen’s own life, her determination to succeed both financially and as a mother to her own children Kevin (24) and Erika (21) is what she gets out of bed for each day. Mary Ellen has been married for thirty-one years to a man she best describes as a bit of a spend thrift, especially when it comes to one of her spending ideological schemes. MaryEllen has done a variety of jobs to make sure the family accounts balance, particularly a social worker, though in her words not so much monetarisation rewarding, but enriching in so many other ways. Trying new ideas and projects to inject and infuse a sustainable interest in life is another core aspect of MaryEllen’s life hence the reason for her undertaking the task of writing this book, MaryEllen sees this an adventure, a new path to grow in her life, her husband reaction is, how much is this jaunt going to cost, and here she goes again. Oh, the joys of marriage, you can’t beat it.

The Book

This is a short book of approximately forty-four pages that are highly illustrated with appropriate and vivid illustrations that sublimely support the overall narrative of the book, that being young adults can find motivating forces both within themselves and the environment around them. For me the book is aimed at 7–10-year-olds. What’s fascinating in the story is how a yellow hi-vis jacket transforms the main character MaryEllen from being stuck in life to becoming a confident youngster following a different path in life. Lockdown had a profound affect on MaryEllen like so many youngsters not being able to go out and see their friends, but how MaryEllen adapted after Lockdown is surprising.

Dr Rebecca I Payne sees herself as a New Yorker/New Jersey girl at heart and has spent the last numerous years punctiliously studying biblical texts. What she ascertained from her research has had a profound influence on her life, to the extent that her life as she knows and sees it today is a far cry from her carefree youth days. Dr Payne continues to seek God’s counsel and judgement in her daily routines something she learned from her religious studies around her Master of Arts degree in Biblical Exposition. In addition to her degree in Biblical Exposition Dr Payne has a doctorate in Business Administration. 

For Dr Payne life started in Queens, New York City, then to Brooklyn and finally East Orange in New Jersey where she presently lives. Like most of us her life has been a journey of ups and downs but over time the strength she has gained by the Lord’s guidance has as she sees it steered her and continues to steer her down the right path, a path that has opened new channels in her life, a life of confidence and spirituality and it is that journey that she writes about in her books.

The Book

There are nine chapters to this poignantly composed small book of fifty-eight pages, the story and the message Dr Payne is getting across is told through the eyes of two main characters, Miss Mazey and Jamie as they face everyday life from a Christian understanding of how to lead a faithful journey. For me the chapters ‘The Path to Peace’ and ‘Hope through Pain,’ really stood out, but that’s my opinion, look for yourselves.

Other Books by Dr Rebecca I Payne

Shine The Light

This book is about one woman’s walk to Christ Jesus and the journey it took to get a deeper understanding of the relationship we can have with God, Christ and the Church.

Reflections

This book explores the notions of who God wants us to be and suggests an interpretation of what He wants us to do. It presents us with a divine opportunity to ponder what we want from life, and it gives us the challenge to reflect the image of Christ Jesus. It is both dynamic and cathartic in life lessons and experiences, and the way we choose to live.
