Terry Stone’s New Book ‘The Dreamer and Renaissance Man: Dialogue With My Father’ is an Engrossing Memoir That Melds Two Perspectives Into One
Fulton Books author Terry Stone, who was born in Charleston, South Carolina, and grew up on James Island, has completed her most recent book "The Dreamer and Renaissance Man: Dialogue with my Father": a gripping and potent memoir that offers two unique perspectives.
Terry's dad wrote an autobiography of his life, primarily because he was a quiet man, viewed as strange or a nonconformist by family and friends, and he wanted to set the record straight on who he was, who he is, what he believes, and the journeys he took along the way to cope with problems and live his life.
Terry's dad and she had a fraught relationship, similar to the one he had with Terry's mother. However, his behavior, as she perceived it, was distant and unloving. Through his writing, he invited his daughter to know him, and she did. However, she felt there was more to the story, and as her eyes were opened to the facets of him, she came to better understand how their relationship influenced her development as a person. His story is delightful, and Terry strove to add background and context to the many adventures he had in his life.
Author Terry Stone fell in love with the English language as a child and always enjoyed opportunities to write. After high school, she attended Palmer Business College and then went to work for the U.S. government, where she worked in various positions.
Like her dad, Terry seemed to reinvent herself along the way throughout her career—starting out as a clerk typist, becoming a department head secretary, then going into management analysis, and finally becoming a computer systems programmer and analyst. She left civil service when her husband retired and spent a few years volunteering, working a short time in retail home sales, and eventually decided to return to college to finish her degree. She persevered part-time and earned a B.A. and M.A. in English. Following that, she and her husband moved from Charleston to Northeast Georgia, where she taught freshman English at Piedmont College, which is now a university.
Author Terry Stone introduces the memoir, writing, "My relationship with my father was fraught with tension, discord, and unpleasantness. I guess I was a sensitive child, but my dad's gruff personality was off-putting, and his energy conveyed that I was a nuisance. He lived his real life apart from mine. The only way I could interact with him was in his world, which was in printing black-and-white photos in his darkroom or building a boat in our garage. As I grew up, and after I was out on my own, we connected somewhat. But I had no knowledge of how remarkable his life had been. When he was about 70 years old, he wrote an autobiographical memoir, and it unlocked the door into his extraordinary life. I carried around his manuscript for 30 years, trying to figure out how I could get it published. Finally, I joined a writer's group, the Cornelia Company of Writers, and this book resulted. I very much want others to get to know this man, who was a dreamer and Renaissance man. I now feel I know his heart, and I love him dearly!"
Published by Fulton Books, Terry Stone's book invites readers to become absorbed in a man's life through the entire twentieth century and enjoy reading about his life as much as Terry did.

Fulton Books author Genevieve Robinson, a proud mother and grandmother who uses writing as a form of healing, has completed her most recent book "Why I Ran Away from Home": a powerful look at the tumultuous childhood the author experienced, and why she felt she had to strike out on her own to escape her controlling parents.
"When I was little, I had no idea the kind of people—the ones who were raising me—would turn out to be so hateful and prejudiced," writes Robinson. "I didn't even know what prejudice was or that it even existed for that matter! Oh, was I ever about to find out!"
Robinson continues, "Most of my friends were black, and once my stepfather found out they were black was when I found out he was a prejudiced monster. I got called every name in the book … just for having black friends! He even told me I had crossed the tracks? What does that even mean? I started seeing him for who he really was, a prejudiced man, just an all-around hateful man."
Published by Fulton Books, Genevieve Robinson's book is a powerful look at the ways in which one's parents can become detrimental to the lives of their children if they refuse to have open minds and accept people of all backgrounds. Raw and honest, Robinson bravely shares her memoir in the hopes of helping readers who find themselves in similar situations with domineering and hateful parents.

Karen M. Wells Falconer, a grandmother and truck driver who had her life completely transformed through faith in God, has completed her new book, "BELIEVE ~ A WELLS LEGACY!": a faith-based read on the ways in which God lifted the author from a difficult place and filled her life with blessings and love.
Writes Wells Falconer, "This book was inspired by God and my Daddy (David Lee). Not me! Rereading these true life-answered Prayers and testimonies, they seem like fairy tales even though I lived them all, you see. But it is just God's way of showing us that 'It is well with Thee!' Now let us begin to see how a young girl baptized at an early age, gave her life to Christ Jesus. Thought she could take it back. Took all kinds of crazy chances, made some stupid choices. But when God saw the path that I was on, He disciplined me in a strong, loving way and made me 'Believe'. Now I am honored that God is letting me share some of the Blessings that we have received! May the reading and sharing of this book win more souls for Jesus Christ! Stay Blessed! God's Best! In the Almighty Name of Jesus! Holla Glory Hallelujah as we all say Amen!"
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Karen M. Wells Falconer's new book will inspire readers to reconnect with the Lord and invite His love into their hearts. Through acceptance of God's messages, Falconer found peace and understanding, which she hopes to pass on to readers and encourage them to do the same.

Don’t Use Drugs and Ride: Hospitals Treat Thousands of Drug-Related Bike Injuries Each Year
From 2019 to 2020, more than 11,000 people who had been using drugs were treated in U.S. emergency departments for injuries that occurred while riding a bicycle, according to a new report in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs.
"When these patients present to the emergency department, it becomes important not only to treat the injuries but also to refer patients to drug treatment in an effort to intervene and prevent further negative events related to drug use," says the report's lead author Bart Hammig, Ph.D., M.P.H., of the Public Health Program at the University of Arkansas.
Further, among these patients, typical injury-prevention measures such as helmet wearing and improved bike lanes may not be enough to reduce these incidents, as it is "unlikely that the person was riding the bike for exercise," according to the study's authors.
Such bicyclists may instead be riding because of circumstances related to a substance use disorder, such as homelessness, license revocation from a previous driving-while-intoxicated conviction or financial instability -- all of which may limit the ability to drive a car for transportation.
"This is an often overlooked and ignored population when discussing bicycle injuries," Hammig says, "but one that stakeholders such as emergency department personnel, drug treatment centers and transportation officials need to consider when trying to prevent future injuries."
According to Hammig and his co-author, Robert Davis, Ph.D., bicycle crash victims who are intoxicated often have more serious injuries than others. In the study, the reported injuries included fractures (22%) and internal organ injuries (19%), and nearly a third of patients had to be admitted to the hospital. Few injuries (1%) were concussions, but 8% of crashes resulted from drug poisonings. Because the data were recorded at the hospital, victims who died at the scene were not included.
A disproportionate percentage of the patients were men (86.4%). The most common drugs found in the system of crash victims were methamphetamine (36.4%), cannabis (30.7%) and opioids (18.5%), and nearly a quarter of patients also had alcohol in their system.
To conduct their research, Hammig and Davis reviewed 2019-2020 data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, a hospital-based database. Statistics from the system's nationally representative sample of U.S. hospitals allow for estimation of the number of incidents countrywide. In this study, the researchers extracted all data for bicycle injuries related to the use of psychoactive drugs (independent of alcohol) during the study period. They estimated there were 11,314 such injuries -- 2.6% of the overall estimated 480,286 bicycle injuries in that study period.
Hammig and Davis note that, because a variety of circumstances contribute to drug-related bicycle crashes -- often overlapping and interacting factors -- prevention will be difficult. However, they note that further surveillance, data collection and study will help elucidate additional ways to prevent such injuries.

K.D. Augustin, a wife, mother, author, and businesswoman, has completed her new book, "The Adventures of Baby Jordan": a delightful tale of a fetus' life and early childhood following his birth, all from the point of view of the baby.
"'The Adventures of Baby Jordan' is a series book," writes Augustin. "The first book is called '9 Months of Training'. It takes place in the womb of an expecting mother. The unborn baby is aware that he is there, but the parents are not at first. Once Daddy and Mommy are made aware, the book shows the development stages of the baby throughout the nine months, as well as the experiences his parents are having. Baby Jordan is not the average unborn baby. He can see and hear what is going on in the outside world. He can also educate himself on unfamiliar words."
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, K.D. Augustin's new book is inspired by the author's first pregnancy from the perspective of her baby as he grew within her. "The Adventures of Baby Jordan" will take readers on an exciting journey to learn how a baby grows to prepare for the world, and, in the case of baby Jordan, learn what the medical issue of gestational diabetes is.
Readers can purchase "The Adventures of Baby Jordan" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, or Barnes & Noble.

Author Ruby Moultrie’s New Audiobook ‘Knowing God A-Z’ is an Enlightening Faith-Based Listen That Examines the ABCs of God’s Infinite Wisdom, Mercy, and Love
LEVELLAND, Texas - September 23, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Ruby Moultrie, who, after a 28-year career in teaching, answered the call to enter the spoken ministry, has completed her new audiobook "Knowing God A-Z": a fascinating and inspiring look at the ways in which one can listen for God's calling and hold Him within their heart through every moment in life.
"Life is not always perfect, even when you walk the journey of being called into the ministry. In fact, sometimes you might lose your way. In trying to please the world and all who walk in my world daily, I lost who Ruby was," writes Moultrie. "It was difficult for quite some time to even want to allow God in. That's sort of crazy, because I knew that He not only called me His daughter, but He knows my everyday journey.
"The smiles were false, and it was beginning to be hard to pretend. Then one morning, as I sat in my bath and attempted to read my devotionals, God came to speak healing over me. I sat in a tub for an hour, allowing God to reach me as he spoke a love language over me. He only asked me to listen. He kept this conversation simple as He made His way through the alphabet, explaining His love for me.
"As I stepped from my bath, I knew that God had wrapped His arms around me in such a way that joy would return to my days. I've known God all my life, but in October 2018, God came and spoke His love in such a way that healing began for me. This day in my ministry began new life for me. This day was the day that I began knowing God and His love for me in a new way."
Published by Audiobook Network, author Ruby Moultrie's new audiobook will help listeners grow closer to God and solidify their relationship with Him, accepting His love and looking to Him throughout life for guidance and healing.
Listeners can purchase the audiobook edition of "Knowing God A-Z" by Ruby Moultrie through Audible, the Apple iTunes Store, or Amazon.
