Brough has been giving readings for seven years professionally now, but he grew up as a psychic child. His parents knew before he did, as he would see and interact with his maternal grandfather every night after he passed away. Eventually in Brough's early teens he came to realize that the source of so much of his anxieties and depression was the direct cause of having to deal with being so sensitive to people and life. This realization would lead to his discovering psychic ability and finally opening up to people about the visions he was having.

For Daniel Clark, a family man and devout member of the Watchtower Society and bringer of "The Good News" - life had lost all meaning. Disillusioned with church teachings, he decided to leave the faith, but had to find the strength to throw off the teachings programmed into him since birth and rebuild his life. In a harrowing account of growing up as a Witness in a filthy, flea-infested house, visiting his mother in a hellish mental institution, and his raw and painful path into the disabling addictions that hid his pain, Daniel shares his journey of escape and ultimate victory from an abusive childhood and the religion that held him and his entire family prisoner. I, Witness: A Journey of Transcending Disabling Religious Beliefs (new sub-title) reveals the truth about what it's like to grow up in a world where brainwashing and religious emotional and mental abuse are rampant; and explores how Clark learned to listen to his soul's yearning, and followed its direction into the Mystery of Life, and how his lessons can help others. This book is a story of hope. - www.villapress.com

From Brian O'Dea in his own words: "I was finally sober, after years of self-destructive abuse, living alone in Santa Barbara, working full time, and more, but as a volunteer at an alcohol and drug recovery hospital called Cottage Care. Two years into this new way of living, the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) showed up at my door, brandishing an indictment based on my last venture in the drug trade (importation of more than 70 tons of pot from Southeast Asia). "We know what you do O'Dea, working with drunks and dope addicts, but this ain't about change or rehabilitation, this is about crushing your life, motherfu%&er." For the ensuing year, I wrapped up my life as I knew it, preparing for a new address, one from which I did not expect to return for over ten years. When, finally, I was sentenced to ten years, the judge gave me three months to get ready, and told me to surrender to Federal Correction Institute Terminal Island on June 30, 1991...Everything I knew about American Prisons I learned from films such as American Me and Shawshank Redemption. Gruesome depictions, and needless to say, when I walked up to the gate at T.I. I was quaking in my boots. A guard came to retrieve me, handcuffing me to take me inside. Once we crossed the threshold into the yard, every single character I feared in my imagination I could see, peering over a line of guards protecting me from the mass of prisoners waiting to move on. (All movement stops in prison when new "fish" arrive.) I cannot tell you how frightened I was at that moment. All I could see were bulging muscles, tattoos, do-rags, and sneering and scowling faces. My head was going a million miles an hour. Mark Twain said 99% of the battles he fought never took place. Most of mine were happening right then and there. After a couple of excruciating hours of check-in, I was pointed in the direction of a unit, where I was told to report to the officer currently on duty. He told me to go find a bunk on the freeway that wasn't being occupied, and come back to let him know where it was. The freeway was a row of bunks in a large hallway surrounding a three tiered cellblock. I looked into this area, and was just about in a panic when I spotted a broken pencil and piece of paper discarded on a rickety bookcase containing no books. In a flash, it occurred to me that if I wanted to survive, I had to get out of my head, 'cause it was killing me. I thought that if I was to write down everything I heard around me, my fears would take some shape, a form that was not quite as nebulous as my fear, and in so doing give bodies to the ghosts that were haunting me, and so, five minutes in, I began what became HIGH..I hope you find HIGH to be a great yarn, as many have, but more importantly to me, I hope you are informed in a way that increases your compassion for those less fortunate than you, for those who have not had the opportunities that most of us have had, for those, that but for life's circumstances, there go you, or you, or, yes, even you" - www.BrianOdea.com

His film production company, Workhorse Productions, filmed the famed 1994, "Checks, Crooks and Counterfeits" (c) by Jason Leigh, which was used as a training film by National Food store chains, FDIC Banks and Law Enforcement Agencies in training to detect counterfeits and made National media news.

National Executive Director, Fathers & Families - Thousands Protest Lifetime TV's New Father-Bashing Reality Show 'Deadbeat Dads' - Thousands of protesters have called and written Lifetime Television this week to protest Lifetime's new father-bashing reality show Deadbeat Dads. Last year, similar protests drove the show-originally called Bad Dads--off of Fox. According to Reuters, in Deadbeat Dads Jim Durham, director of the National Child Support Center, "functions as a sort of 'Dog the Bounty Hunter' for tracking deadbeats." Durham targets dads by "making their lives miserable -- foreclosing on their house, repossessing their car. He will squeeze them... It's ambush reality TV." The program's depiction of divorced dads is a horrendous distortion. Research clearly shows that most divorced dads pay their child support and strive to remain a part of their children's lives, often under very difficult circumstances. The Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement's own data shows that two-thirds of "deadbeat dads" earn poverty level wages-only 4% earn even $40,000 a year. In the middle of the worst economic conditions in decades, Deadbeat Dads kicks fathers while they're down. Media reports show that the majority of those losing their jobs in this recession are men, and it is notoriously difficult for fathers to get their child support orders modified downward. As many newspapers are now documenting, these hard luck dads sometimes end up in jail. - www.FathersandFamilies.org and www.GlennSacks.com
