From Randy Johnson to Dallas Braden: No-Hitters Beyond the Box Score was a four-year labor of love written by a devoted baseball fan with a keen understanding of the unique attraction of the game. His fascinating stories of individual games explore the gamut of no-hit accomplishments, from the perfect game thrown by aging Hall of Famer Randy Johnson to the beautiful moment on top of the baseball world experienced by young players who lasted only a short time in the big leagues. Through storytelling based on personal interviews and in-depth analysis, this two-volume book is about the pitchers and catchers who participated in what is often recalled as the most memorable game of their professional careers. While their stories are far more than statistics, this book is loaded with insightful analysis. Most important are the players’ stories behind the headlines, though.

This book addresses these questions and describes so many more aspects of these magical games.

In September 2023, three of my best friends and I took a seven-day, bucket-list trip to southwest Ireland to play six of the best golf courses in the country and, by many accounts, in the world. This book is about that trip: the courses, the golf, the pubs, the restaurants, the three towns we stayed in, the colorful characters we encountered, and my reflections on the lasting effect these magical seven days had on all of us. This book gives an inside look at playing links golf in Ireland, known for its mammoth sandy dunes, wiry fescue grass, and ever-present winds blowing in off the Atlantic Ocean. I describe the incomparable experience of playing Old Head with its 300-foot-high sheer cliffs that come into play on over half of the holes as they fall straight down to the ocean. Then I take you to the Old Course at Ballybunion, generally considered to be the home of Irish links golf and the standard by which all other links courses are measured. My hope is that you gain a sense of how special and unique all six of these courses are and become inspired to make your own bucket-list trip, whether it’s to southwest Ireland or another “golf paradise” of your choosing.

My life was shattered early one morning in 2021 when I discovered my husband of 26 years was having an affair with a friend of mine. While it was the final straw in a series of emotional betrayals that had gone on for years, it was still devastating. I decided I was not going to live like this anymore. It was at that moment I decided to leap into the unknown and file for divorce. It was then I chose to take control of my life and regain my power. The Power Within: A Journey of Courage, Healing, and Empowerment is about my journey toward embracing my power and living life on my own terms. This journey had taken me many years, from my childhood in India, through a male-centered education system, to life as a non-English-speaking immigrant in the United States. Along the way, I successfully raised two wonderful boys while facing debilitating health issues. I also realized later in life that my true calling was not in being an electrical engineer, but rather in becoming an ayurvedic medicine practitioner and yoga instructor ...

Star Journey Home invites readers to explore the provocative idea that many of us, while born on Earth, may have spiritual origins rooted elsewhere in the cosmos. Our bodies are of this world, but our souls may be calling us home to another world among the stars. Star Journey Home is written by a NASA engineer whose deeply developed metaphysical and spiritual insight offers a rare fusion of science and soul. Through the lens of his own extraordinary journey, Greg shares an engaging, heartfelt narrative of intuitive awakening, profound encounters with star beings, and transformative experiences using the Akashic Records — a timeless, non-physical archive said to contain the history of every soul, event, and place that has ever existed. Greg weaves together personal revelations and metaphysical truths to present a compelling case that we are far more expansive and interconnected than conventional life on Earth suggests. With clarity and sincerity, he offers evidence that we are intricately linked to one another and to conscious life across the Universe in deeply personal and meaningful ways ...
