Interview for You
I had a nice chat with Host Robbie Motter on BlogTalk Radio yesterday. If you would like to listen in, just click here: Interview Sept. 5th
Robbie and I knew each briefly while I lived in southern California in the 1990s. We both wrote articles for a lovely women's magazine titled "For You!" Robbie is a great lady with so much energy and knowledge of getting women connected -- such a supportor of women becoming all they can be!
Now that summer is coming to an end, I find myself beginning to enter a "reflection" phase of the year. Fall brings a respite of peaceful leaves truning yellow and nature winding down for a rest. I like to do the same...
2010 has been very busy for me with Tales of Addiction being released and all the promotion that is required when a new book is presented to the public. I have enjoyed many Radio Shows online and off, one local television appearance, many booksigning events, and meeting new people on FaceBook. I still have a few online radio shows coming up and one live radio program which I am excited about. I will be sure to post these here and on my web site: Inspiration for Recovery
If you have started reading (or finished) Tales of Addiction, I know your heart has been touched with compassion for all the writers of the addiction stories. To honor them, please go to either Amazon or Barnes & Noble web sites and write your comments about your thoughts and feelings. Sharing your own emotions about reading this book not only honors their path, but also your own.

New Review!!
Hello Everyone!
The "Fresno Book Review" just posted/printed a great Review of Tales of Addiction and Inspiration for Recovery!! Please take a look:
The "Fresno Book Review" just posted/printed a great Review of Tales of Addiction and Inspiration for Recovery!! Please take a look:
I am very happy that this healing book is being received by the public critics so positively. Our nation is crying for help with its addiction trauma. And, I am afraid it will even increase when our troops come home from one of the largest producers of heroin substances. But not all illegal drugs are made in foreign countries, Americans are readily consuming prescription drugs to the point of a large increase of addiction to medications. Visit the web site below and left "Dad on Fire" to read the latest information about our nation's sad addiction population.
If you haven't visited my web site lately, please do. I have added archived Radio Interviews from the past few months and listed new ones coming up. You can also go to any of my books' individual pages to read more articles and interviews. Thank you also, for leaving your comments here.
Love & Light,

Two New Reviews!
Two new reviews just in for last two books! The first is on Addiction: What's Really Going On? which was released last year, the second is for Tales of Addiction just released in May.
Dr. Barbara Sinor and Deborah McCloskey are two therapists that work with addiction issues. Upon McCloskey’s death Barbara takes Deborah’s journal and expounds on it in this book of stories of addicts and their journeys through heroin addiction and their progress. Addiction, What’s Really Going On? holds back nothing to let you see the progress of a caseload of patients. This is a fantastic book that lets you into the stories of said addicts. Ms. Sinor is a therapist who happened to be friends with Ms. McCloskey. Dr. Sinor and Ms. McCloskey have given us a glimpse, a very detailed journey, of addicts and their addictions.
I think this book needs to be read by anyone who has a family member on Heroin as it will give a small insight into the world and see that there is hope for some of them. If for some reason you have a friend or family member with these issues THEN THIS IS THE ONE BOOK THAT IS A MUST READ for you. This is a very revealing story which will detail, to you, a journey through addiction and what happens in the progress made in Addiction, What’s Really Going On? This is the one!

Mind Fog Reviews
In Tales of Addiction and Inspiration for Recovery ,Dr. Barbara Sinor writes of other stories, including her and her son’s. It is a well written and posed book that has you crying at other people’s courage in sharing their stories. It even helped me with my own mother's illness of alcoholism.
I am pleased at the detail this book has and I hope that it gets out to those of you who need it. It will give you courage to go through your own processes.

Taking a Breath...
Hello everyone,
Thank you for being patient with me these past few weeks - I needed a break from life...:)
I have played in the lake with my daughter and grandson; walked the woods with nature; mediated by a creek; and deep breathed regularly. After the release of the book, my calendar was so full of radio interviews, articles to write, booksignings to attend, and then that last television show, I decided a long rest to re-coop was necessary.
There are still radio interviews coming up which I know will help promote my message but I am also trusting that you all can share your thoughts about Tales of Addiction as well as I can. The book was written for 'you' by people just like 'you' -- this is what will make the book sell and continue to sell for years to come.
If you have read the book, please spread the word to your family and friends, church and schools, colleges and medical personnel. This book has healing energy in it and will bring only positive answers for us all seeking guidance toward a compassionate outlook regarding addiction recovery.
Also, if you have a comment you would like to add to this Blog, please do so! We all want to hear your thoughts... If you want to join my on FaceBook just visit my web site and click the button!
Love & Light,
