Divided by partition, war and politics, but united by creativity, brilliance and common humanity, Asian Voices has brought together 20 writers from across South Asia to shine a light on their diverse societies.

In 37,000 words, across more than 240 pages and two dozen images, these contributors paint graphic pictures of love, beauty, loss, patriarchy, disease and death in their respective countries of India, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

From chilly Kabul in the north, through Karachi, Delhi and Kolkata to the searing heat of Hyderabad in the south, their tales in poetry and prose are compelling.

The writers include an artist from Lahore, an engineer from Mumbai, a psychologist from Delhi, a social reformer from Jaipur, two 12^th grade school students, plus many more.

The project has been pulled together by a retired British newspaper editor.

Most of the writers have, until now, only seen their work published on social media or in short order paperbacks. They are effusive in their excitement about this new book.

Nitika Das, a student from Jodhpur explains: “This book is the output of one dream shared by 20 writers.

“I believe everyone in this world is a writer, everyone has a story to tell… everyone knows how to put it into words. All we need is a pen and some blank paper.”

Fahmida Shaikh, an oceanographer from Bhiwandi believes that the diversity of the individual writers helped shape the book: “As individuals we are all so very different; different cultures, ages, nationalities and genders, but as writers we have been able to form an incredible bond that reflects the many ways that, as humans we have common needs, hopes, dreams and hearts.”

Sakshi Walia, an English Literature student from Amity University in New Delhi adds: “Together, I believe our words are shining a blinding light on the reality of being human, in a world of seeming chaos.”

Interior designer Pratibha Aasat from Hyderabad in says: “All our words are powerful emotions expressing varied feelings, the silent whispers of hearts, connecting every soul and thoughts, so vivid that they represent a complete lived life… to last in the memoirs forever.”

Nic Outterside from Wolverhampton, England is the editor and publisher of Asian Voices.

“I have edited many publications over the years,” says Nic, “But none has been as challenging and exciting as this. I am very lucky to have so many amazingly talented and beautiful people contributing to this hugely diverse project.

“I hope all the readers get as much pleasure reading this book, as I did editing it.”

Minnie Rai, a writer and 26-year-old refugee from Kabul, who now lives in London, sums up the ethos of Asian Voices: “We don’t become by knowing… we become by doing. It is in the present we live and share diversity from within outwards. Through love and death we learn the language of war within us that separates us from the truth that sits beside our heart. When we share that truth, we become one… Asian Voices.”

What is Tourette syndrome (TS)? To people who do not have it, it is probably not what they think. To fully understand this baffling disorder you must be afflicted with it. There is no other way. Even then, there are no guarantees. The everyday feelings and urges to perform the tics that are symptoms of TS are unlike any that a person without TS could imagine. There are as many cases of TS as there are people who have it. No two cases are exactly alike. This book was put together in order to raise awareness for TS. After reading the stories you will not totally understand TS. That is a given. It is my hope that the readers will understand it just a little bit better. Even if just one person learns more about TS or gains a greater understanding of TS as a result of reading this book, it will be well worth the time and effort it took to write it.

Tourette syndrome is an often, misunderstood neurological disorder.  The main symptoms are what are called “tics”.  A tic is defined as an involuntary, sudden, rapid, repetitive, unbalanced, motor movement or vocalization.  The tics occur many times a day, nearly every day.

The most common motor tics are rapid eye blinking, shoulder shrugging, squinting, and facial grimacing.  Some of the less common tics include grinding teeth, neck jerking, flailing arms, biting nails, and toe-curling.

The most common vocal tics are throat clearing, sniffing, grunting, coughing, and stuttering or stammering.

There are a few important facts about TS that are important know.  Up to one in 100 schoolboys have some form of TS.  Three to four males have it for every female.  The diagnosis is often missed.  TS symptoms usually decrease with age, but not always.  TS is an inherited disorder.  Learning disorders, panic attacks, school phobias, speech problems, and sleeping problems are common too.

People with TS usually also have either ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), or OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder).  Many people with Tourette’s have both of these accompanying disorders.

When most people think of TS they think of the disorder where people with it swear uncontrollably and profusely.  This symptom of TS (coprolalia) is the easiest symptom to recognize, but it is also the rarest.  It is important to remember that coprolalia is present in less than twenty percent of TS patients.

Most people with TS, when describing a tic, say that they feel a sudden tension building up that must be relieved by performing the tic.  Tics are suppressible for varying lengths of time.  The longer the tics are suppressed the more the tension builds up and the more there is a need to release them.

Another major characteristic of TS is a waxing and waning of the symptoms.  This includes both a change from one tic to another, to the complete disappearance of symptoms for varying periods of time.

The tics usually begin during the ages of five through nine, but symptoms can start at any time.  There have even been some cases where they started late into adulthood.

While motor and vocal tics are the main symptoms used to make a diagnosis, and they are what are most identified with TS, there are many other problems that can be associated with it, the main of which are behavior related.

The people with TS who suffer from these behaviors are often angry, argumentative, and confrontational.  Everything has to be their way or is someone else’s fault.  One minute they’ll be fine and the next minute they’ll be in a rage.  They tease their siblings relentlessly.  They have a short temper, smart mouth, talk back, throw temper tantrums over nothing, and won’t take “no” for an answer.  Many of them lie and steal too.  Of course, it is difficult to tell if a person’s TS is causing these behaviors or something else is, but many studies of TS patients have shown that these behaviors are much more common in them than in people without it.

Very few people with TS have symptoms that are bad enough for them to require medication.  Medication is usually only prescribed when a person’s symptoms prevent them from doing routine activities.   Medication must be carefully monitored and doctors’ instructions must be followed precisely to benefit from them.   Almost all of the medications have side effects, some of them many and some of them major.  Many TS patients decide to live with their symptoms and stop taking medication because living with the side effects is more than they can bear.

This book will probably make you laugh.  It might even make you cry.  I have told my story in a brutally honest way.  Even though there is almost no chance of you walking in my shoes, I have told my story the best way I know how to help the readers get a glimpse of what people with TS go through every day of our lives.  I am proud to present to you my book about what makes me “tic.”

When Rebecca D’Angelo hears about a position at Collins Enterprises for an account executive paying a whopping $75,000 annual base salary, she can’t wait to apply. Putting together an impressive resume and a stunning portfolio, she marches downtown to the enormous office building with her aspirations high.
With zing in her step, she walks up to the building and reads the notice posted on the front door: DEADLINE – Resumes for Account Executive position must be received no later then 10am this morning to be considered. It’s 9:51am. In a rush, she ends up accidentally dumping her latte on the CEO – Aiden Collins.
Needless to say, she’s shocked when she receives a callback for an interview with the CEO himself, and even more surprised when she’s offered not one but two contracts to consider. Aiden Collins is not at all as she’s expecting. In fact, the entire interview is nothing as she was expecting. When the day turns into the evening, and things go sideways – she just might have signed the wrong contract in haste.
Either way, Rebecca D’Angelo’s boring life is about to get very interesting.

Spice Up Your Wall Yoga, Instructional Manual presents 94 yoga postures using a wall as a prop. Through 381 black and white photos, along with instructions and benefits of each pose, it gives yoga instructors and practitioners, examples of easy, moderate, and advanced poses.

A wall can be used almost as a personal yoga assistant, as it will help you with proper alignment; it will stretch your muscles deeper; and make you work harder in some cases. On the other hand, it can help one perform certain exercises in a gentler and more relaxing way. On top of these reasons, a wall is a different, fun way to do your yoga class – when you sometimes want to take a break from your mat workout.

The manual is designed to give you a complete body workout, if you choose to do all or most of the postures on a wall. However, you can select only a few poses and mix them up with the mat exercises. You can use a wall to demonstrate proper body alignment to your yoga class. Sometimes you will want to use a wall for inverted poses, like a headstand, for example. I hope it gives you a new material to add to your classes and helps you to spice up your yoga sessions.

Recommended for yoga teachers, experienced yoga students and yoga teacher training schools. It will also help those who train with weights, as well as cardio, and sports people to stretch their muscles in an effective and fun way.

The manual is 8.5” x 11” in size and has 297 pages. This is a self-published book and is available in paperback through Amazon and other online stores. Also available on Kindle ($6.45 purchase price; or $0.0 with Kindle Unlimited Membership).

“Spice Up Your Yoga Warm-Up, Instructional Manual” is intended for yoga instructors, cardio and strength trainers, individual and group sports practitioners, as well as yoga teacher training schools. If you are a yoga student, this book will add to your understanding of yoga.

The exercises are fun and effective, and are presented through 248 black and white photos with detailed descriptions of each exercise. Additional tips/hints to further explain some complex movements are given. The ‘hints’ section offers examples of more advanced as well as easier moves for beginners. The practice covers major muscles and joints: from your feet, knees, hips, back, shoulders, arms, wrists, to your neck. It instructs you how to move and breathe properly to get most out of your practice. It will energize and re-charge your mind, body, and spirit and it will motivate you to continue with your main workout. These exercises can also be used in your cool-down practice.

The manual is 8.5” x 11” in size and has 207 pages. This is a self-published book and is available in paperback through Amazon and other online stores. Also available on Kindle ($3.49 purchase price; or $0.0 with Kindle Unlimited Membership).

“Taking Baghdad: Victory in Iraq with the US Marines” is coming to stores in March 20th 2019.

Taking Baghdad is one of the few histories of Operation Iraqi Freedom written by a Marine who actually served in the war. This book is for the soldier as it is for the civilian, and for the historian as it is for the young who need to understand war. So much more than history, the audience will keep Taking Baghdad on their shelves because of its personality, a deep connection with the author as he takes you on a journey through the desert, history and combat, context and strategy, tactics and even poetry; it will leave you speechless.

Richard III’s story, told in first person from his point of view, using, where possible, Richard’s actual words (in modern English.)

Then it is on through the pain of the loss of his only legitimate son Edward, to the final deadly conflict on Bosworth Field against Henry Tudor. A different fictional look at England’s most loved–and most hated–King..

Contains what is probably the most up to date fictional account of Richard’s last moments at Bosworth, based on the archaeology and forensics.

In Bloomfield, someone has been committing grisly murders, and the targets have been carefully chosen. The killer has no intention of stopping until he reaches his goal. Enter Matt Greaves. Slightly jaded, thirty-something, divorced, and unable to pay his tea bill on time at the school where he teaches. Greaves loves his job, but has one golden rule;never, under any circumstance, get involved romantically with one of the parents at school. Having done so, and without knowing it, his actions will see him engaged in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with an opponent with a score to settle, and who believes in total control and dominance over those around him.

With the aid of a local policeman with a penchant for going above his pay grade, and with assistance of his self-confessed nerd brother, Greaves will see not only his own life, but those of all around, him changed forever.

In a battle where there can only ever be one winner, and where the lives of many others hang in the balance, Greaves will be the only one who can try to teach his opponent the hardest of lessons. In order to win the war, sometimes self-control is not an option.

Someone had made a terrible mistake twelve years before and placed a young girl in the care of Hugh and Janet Finklestein. This child’s name was Sara. She knew nothing of her life before the Finklesteins- just that life with them was miserable- they didn’t feed her, didn’t love her, and pretty much left her to fend for herself. Sara’s life changes drastically one day when she is transported to the Land of the Keepers, a strange place where nothing is quite what it seems- and danger is around every bend. Sara is told be the Keepers that an evil group called the Garren have been causing trouble. People all over the land have been disappearing, those that are left have begun to change from loving neighbors to hate-filled, violent bullies. Sara is told that she has special powers given to her as a birthright that will help save the people of this land. What the power is exactly- they cannot tell her, but they do know that she will have to find two other children just like her to help defeat the Garren. One child has the power to control people’s minds, the other the ability to move things without touching them. The tricky part of this adventure is to find these kids with no help from the Keepers. All they can tell her is that she will know them when she sees them- all while trying to figure out what power she has. No problem- right?

A powerful blending of stories of seekers from different walks of life who might have lived then.

Step back to Ancient Jerusalem at the time of Christ and the Roman Empire, and ask: What could a cynical, non-conformist dry-goods salesman, a disgruntled blacksmith, and a musing mendicant all have in common? The answer: Down deep, they all seek something better. But will they find the true fulfillment they are seeking?

The non-conformist, Manaheem, Herod’s foster brother, is hired by Herod to foment an insurrection against Pontius Pilate, whom he distrusts.

Midnight Black is a fast-paced, action packed thriller/suspense novel in the tradition of author Lee Child.

This collection of poetry is a raw and emotionally gripping tale told through a loose narrative style and imbued with Allred’s passion and personality. It retains a beautiful and haunting style of composition in which we are given an unfettered look into the thought processes -however different than our own- of mental illness and the brutal honesty of it. The often lyrical style and lightness of the rhyme arrangements that juxtapose the weight of the concepts discussed within are powerful and unique among contemporary poems.

Notes To Self “Always Believe As You Keep Moving Through Loss And Brokenness” is based on my personal views of how to recover and reinvent yourself after the shock of loss sinks in.

Perhaps it is difficult for you to imagine how life could ever be normal again. The answer is life will never be the same.

The one certainty is you will grow. Neuroscience has confirmed that like physical brain injuries. Recovering from emotional loss can take place. By replacing painful memories with new regenerative ones. The challenge is for you to start being the person you want to be. Believe in yourself!

While you find yourself. And as you emotionally heal. The depth of sadness can cloud your vision for a new life. On the contrary, you could accomplish effective and efficient changes. With determination and persistence.

There is no time limit on how you should cope or continue. Simply create your own way. Through, under or alongside the devastation that has shattered your world. As you move into the next phase of your future.

The year was 1941; it was a warm summer day in the Bronx…

I waited until all my boys were inside the building, and then I turned to look at Graysen. “First of all, Mr. Cooper, I want to thank you for coming to Frankie’s rescue. I don’t know what would have happened to my son if you hadn’t come to his aid when you did. I appreciate that very much.” I noticed him step closer to me, and I backed up a few steps to see him grinning again.

I turned my head to the side and then licked my dry lips. “Second of all, I don’t appreciate you encouraging my son to lie to his father. He must be punished for disobeying him.”

He stepped closer to me once again, but this time he put his hand out and grabbed onto my wrist. “Why would you want your son to be punished by a man who hurts you, Mrs. Klatt?” Then he let go of me but continued to stare into my eyes. “Just a thought, but after hearing what you went through a few weeks past, don’t you think your son deserves a break?  I believe he learned his lesson today. I think you just need to remind him of that and let it go, Mrs. Klatt.”

I knew he was probably right, but I wouldn’t admit that to him. He was so smug as he stood there mimicking me.

I bit down on my bottom lip to stop it from trembling. Then I drew a quick breath of air into my lungs and let it out slowly before I answered him. “Thank you for your help and the advice. I will see you again. Good day, Mr. Cooper.”

“Yes, you will. Good day, Elizabeth.”

I turned away from him but heard his laughter follow me as I hurried up the stairs and into the building. Why did he get under my skin so quickly?  I knew why, but I couldn’t afford to think about it. I must avoid Mr. Cooper in the future, But I knew after seeing his kind eyes again it would be impossible. I leaned against the closed door and smiled. He was a handsome devil, and if I didn’t mind my P’s and q’s, I’d get myself in trouble, and that was something I just couldn’t afford.

On the upside, he receives an ancient and powerful holy artefact to help protect him, but on the downside, it does little to improve his hair!
When Timothy’s school becomes the subject of a demon takeover, he and his two friends, Rupert and George, must unmask their foe. Timothy is forced into a battle for survival, not only in the real world but in his very dreams where he must fight his nemesis to prevent Hell on Earth.
And when revelations about Timothy’s ancestry come to light, he must accept his past to save his future. Timothy Williams must survive to fight the Last Battle on the eve of the new century, and he must win to save our souls…

Investigative journalist Shoshi Herscu’s extensive research reveals an insidious plot against humanity — a mass genocide to reduce the world’s population by 95% by 2030. Although it’s hard to believe, Herscu asserts the so-called “cabal” has been systemically forwarding this agenda for 50 years with U.N. and government cooperation. But, “Mass Awakening” (published by Balboa Press AU) is also a celebration of the unshackled human spirit’s quest to know “the truth” and rectify crimes against humanity. The book is available for purchase at: https://www.amazon.com/Mass-Awakening-Shoshi-Herscu/dp/1982208554.

Herscu explains that chemtrails — contrails left from airplanes which purportedly spread chemical or biological agents — above Israel years ago led to her learning about the hidden worldwide strategies furthering the cabal’s agenda like geoengineering, fluoridation of water supplies, GMOs, vaccinations, false flag terrorist attacks and economic warfare. Added to these revelations, the author discusses the suppression of new technologies from the secret space program that could clean the air and easily feed all humanity, such as free-energy devices. Herscu shows how disclosures by whistleblowers have revealed these breakthroughs and much more. So, according to the author, the global society is poised at “darkest hour before the dawn” and the birth of a golden new era.

People aren’t aware that we’re in the midst of a positive shift worldwide,” Herscu says. “This book gives readers the tools to spot the signs of this positive shift from their sources, as well as discern information they have and give hope for an amazing future for everyone on this planet.”

According to Ada Tourtsakis of PrepareForChangeLeadership.org, “Mass Awakening” is Shoshi Herscu’s well researched and yet profoundly personal handling of intensely shocking material, rarely covered in print, is quite impressive for a first-time author. It is both a true inspiration and a much-needed breath of fresh air.”

After a tragic accident, Tansy Whitfield is faced with a difficult decision that will affect both her and her daughter’s future.

She needed her father; he was her hero, and he was taken away from her too soon.

After discussing their options, Tansy and her daughter both decide to start a new life close to Tansy’s mother. But Tansy has one more place where she must go before she can let go of the past.
