Yellowstone Dawn
Summary
Danica Jensen dreams of a man she knows she can never have. After one brief encounter five years ago, her heart is lost to him forever, and she won't give up hope of seeing him again. Raised by a bitter father, she's learned to be strong and resourceful on her own. When a pleasure trip to the newly created Yellowstone National Park turns into a battle for survival, her inner strength is tested like never before. A woman like Danica doesn't interest Josh Osborne. He'd be crazy to get involved with a bossy, strong-willed white woman. His mixed heritage has always made people wary of him. He prefers to be on his own, and his role as protector of the national park's game allows for no attachments. Danica's dream of ever winning Josh's heart shatters after a cruel twist of fate changes her life forever. Suddenly forced together, they must confront their deepest secrets. Josh can't deny his growing respect and admiration for this brave woman, but will the bond they've forged be powerful enough to turn his feelings into love? When an unforeseen danger threatens their lives, Josh must protect more than the wild inhabitants of the park.

On Target: Shooting with Confidence
Summary
A sports psychiatrist teams up with an expert competitive marksman and hunter to strengthen hunting and shooting skills. On Target: Shooting with Confidence promotes the mental and physical training of shooting and the responsible, safe use of firearms. Dr. Fuller, a nearly normal psychiatrist, turns his psychotherapy talent to getting the best performance from hunters and other sharpshooters. Trey Lanier is an expert competitive marksman and hunter. Sharpshooters benefit from finding their best mental zone. Dr. Fuller’s reflex conditioning technique creates a focused, uncluttered, dynamic mindset for shooting enthusiasts. Firing a shotgun at flying targets started as an off-season training tool to simulate shooting at wild birds. Later target shooting morphed into dozens of competitive shooting sports. Recent research documents that fewer people hunt, while the number of non-hunting recreational shooters is increasing. This popular pastime is a hit for an amazing 50 million recreational shooters. The authors live in the heart of traditional southern quail hunting, south Georgia. Known for its abundant wildlife and land conservation, the red hills region fosters fascination with outdoor sportsmanship. To many area residents, wild Bobwhite quail is royalty and the hunt priceless.

Golf Psychiatrist: Keep Your Eye on the Ball
Summary
Kenny, the golf psychiatrist, plays virtual golf with his dream team that includes a par shooter, a trusted mentor, a cockeyed optimist, and their not-so-normal psychiatrist. Kenny opens his stream of consciousness to listeners. His openness reveals a mushroom picking, philosophizing, otherworldly guide. An angel-like alter ego, Mr. Jack, follows the psychiatrist for years and talks to Kenny. With Mr. Jack’s coaching, Kenny learns the importance of training, confidence, friendship, and mental positivity. The foursome treats their quirky psychiatrist with sarcasm, compassion, and genuine friendship. A word of caution from Kenny’s friends, “Ken is a real nut job, as if there is any other kind of psychiatrist. Even so, we let him be our unreliable narrator. We accept Kenny’s inconsistent performance, unreliable narrative, and warped sanity”. Golf is therapy. The authors could just explain mental golf, but they want the listener to experience golf psychiatry. Each hole represents a layer in the process of building confidence. After medical school and psychiatric training, Dr. Fuller discovered that emotions dramatically effect golf performance. Psychiatry and golf became linked when the young psychiatrist saw an accomplished golfer choke over a six-foot putt on the last hole of an important golf tournament. The reasons for this “choke” and how to prevent anxiety-induced missed hits intrigued the practicing psychotherapist and fueled his passion for playing golf. Through the years of playing golf with three friends, Kenny developed an understanding of how the mental aspects of golf affect the level of play and consequently the enjoyment of both recreational and professional golfers. His ideas resulted in the publication of the book, Goodbye Bogeys, a short, therapeutic book that helps golfers develop a confidence through therapeutic repetition. By linking the mind to the technique of golf the result is a more complete golfer. When a business friend read Goodbye Bogeys, he suggested that the two collaborate on a novel about of confident, mental golf appeal to golfers and non-golfers but are interested in how to improve confidence in facing all of life’s challenges. Keep Your Eye on the Ball is the advice given by a mushroom picking, philosophizing, alter ego who guides our golf psychiatrist through a virtual, 18-hole round of golf. Each hole represents a layer in building confident mental golf. Each hole’s theme is one of the layers that build’s confidence and focus that strengthens and prepares our mind when solving the problems faced during a round of golf and our sometimes stressful and chaotic issues when trying to live a successful life. The layers that build and use confidence: Visualizing Avoiding Trouble Finding Calmness Tuning-Out Distractions Forgetting the Past Dealing with the Environment Using Tension Positively Recovering from Failure Repeating Success Feeling is Okay Performing with Philia Hoping is not a Strategy Self-talking Turning Impossible into Possible Minding My Moments Thriving on Chaos Preparing to Win Owning your success

Goodbye Panic
Summary
A top psychiatrist presents a simple method to control panic and related anxiety. It works. It works by empowering the listener. Dr. Fuller uses his unique communication style to calm panic, anxiety, and PTSD. Carefully crafted therapeutic suggestions deliver positive life change. Nick Sarando narrates the audiobook. His insightful performance presents five versions of Goodbye Panic. The five performances by Mr. Sarando include narrating the book mindfully in the moment; performing for soothing, child-like comfort; describing the photos from the original book to amplify the text; reading Goodbye Panic with a six-year-old child; and providing a short version for a quick uplift. This proven approach is available in three media. The paperback is a stabilizing tangible object to hold and read during an attack. The eBook can go with the reader everywhere — a safety companion. There is something for everyone. The audiobook allows healing messages to be accepted -- ready for use -- to ground the anxious listener. Gain a sense of mastery over these conditions: Fear, Social Anxiety, Stress, General Anxiety, School Problems, Worry, Tension, and Bad nerves. Dr. Fuller’s writing is different. He writes in steps and stutters, like a therapist talks. He places unreliable language errors for particular therapeutic effects. Hearing these unique messages drives advice into the brain like 100 mph fastball into the catcher's mitt. Goodbye Panic is the first in a series of therapeutic children's books for adults and youngsters.
