Jonathan Bacher’s New Book, “The Key Master: When Seasons Collide,” Follows a Man Who is Sent Back to 1773 and Must Decide to Remain or Go Back to His Time

Wilmington, DE, February 06, 2023 -)– Fulton Books author Jonathan Bacher, a former professional engineer who lives in Wilmington, Delaware, with his wife of thirty-eight years, has completed his most recent book, “The Key Master: When Seasons Collide”: a fascinating historical fiction that centers around a man who is transported back to the year 1773, and finds himself suddenly torn between returning to his time or staying put.

“Based upon the hatred that existed between the English and both the Dutch and Swedish settlers of the new Americas, this story takes place in New Castle, Delaware, which played a pivotal but rather unknown role in our nation’s history as the original center of colonial government prior to William Penn establishing Philadelphia as such,” writes Bacher. “Ironically, it was in New Castle where William Penn first touched the shores of the nation that would become the United States of America. As a thriving port enterprise, New Castle served as the residence and meeting place for many who were involved with both the striving for independence and, for some, the ultimate signing of the Declaration of Independence. Among them were Benjamin Franklin, John Dickenson, George Read, and Thomas McKean.

“When a man is given a special gift that will allow for him to travel through time, he awakens in the year 1773 in his hometown of New Castle, Delaware. Through the course of routine circumstance, he finds himself accepted by some yet deceived by others. Remembering his past, which is really his future, he longs for a return to those associated with his life in the year 1986. The story becomes complicated when he learns that his close friend’s family is descendant of a plot and murder that took place in 1777. This would be a plot that would question the very existence of the family name and all that they had acquired.

“In the end, he must now make a choice. Perhaps the most difficult choice of his many life cycles. Does he return to be with his wife and maintain a tarnished relationship? Or does he remain in a period where potential for true love awaits him?”

Published by Fulton Books, Jonathan Bacher’s book will take readers on an unforgettable journey as they experience American history brought to life like never before. Expertly paced and full of suspense, Bacher delivers a captivating story that will keep readers on the edge of their seats and remain with them long after its stunning conclusion.

Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase “The Key Master: When Seasons Collide” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Larry Brewer’s New Book, “Ballad of Danny Deer,” is a Captivating Look Back at How the Vietnam War Forever Changed a Generation of Hopeful Young Adults

Bakersfield, CA, February 06, 2023 — Fulton Books author Larry Brewer, a musician and composer who took up writing when he lost his hearing, has completed his most recent book, “Ballad of Danny Deer”: a gripping and potent period piece about one of the most exciting and challenging times in recent history.

But when one of Danny’s friends crashes his car while drag racing, life suddenly starts to become real.”

Published by Fulton Books, Larry Brewer’s book follows happy-go-lucky Danny Deer as his life gets turned upside-down by the 1969 Vietnam draft. Danny and his buddy enlist in the marines, hoping to set out on an adventure that will change their lives for the better. But life doesn’t always go according to plan.

While Danny is away, his family members back at home worry. Jenny, his fiancée, tries her best to prepare their home so that they can live happily as a married couple upon his return. She, along with everyone who has a loved one in the service, lives in fear of the day she may answer the door to a uniformed officer holding Danny’s hat. Over in Vietnam, Danny finds himself along with the rest of his squad caught in a jungle trap. Can he save his squad, even if it means sacrificing himself?

Author Bebbie Hickman’s New Book, “The Hidden Land of Youngsters: The Reconnect,” is an Engaging Science-Fiction Work Geared Toward Young Readers

New York, NY, February 06, 2023 – Bebbie Hickman has completed her new book, “The Hidden Land of Youngsters: The Reconnect”: a captivating science-fiction story filled with adventure with God at its core.

Author Bebbie Hickman has had several articles published in “Reminisce” magazine in the past, as well as inclusion in volume 3 of “Scott County, Virginia and Its People 1814–2003” history annual. Bebbie’s first nonfiction book, “From the Eyes of a Sister,” was published in early 2021 by Covenant Books.

That accomplished, Bebbie decided to try her hand at science fiction geared to the youth genre. The result: “The Hidden Land of Youngsters” and its series were born. Bebbie’s passion is to offer the younger generation an exciting and adventurous book free from curse words, sex themes, and evil influences while at the same time presenting parents with a choice of wholesome materials that allow their child’s imagination to expand in a good and fun way. Parents can confidently purchase Bebbie Hickman’s books without the worry of undermining moral principles.

When not writing, Bebbie can be found bowhunting in deer season with her husband, Darius, in the beautiful mountains of Southwest Virginia or sharing a good cup of coffee on their large and comfy porch overlooking Poor Valley.

Bebbie writes, “Zeb’s frustration was apparent in his voice. Levi, now thirteen, knew better than to bring up the subject of the Hidden Land to Zeb for fear of this very reaction, but hashing it out now might do them both a world of good. The idea of reuniting with the Youngsters gnawed at Zeb, taking chunks, bit by bit, out of his daily thoughts.”

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Bebbie Hickman’s new book takes young readers on a fascinating adventure.

Readers can purchase “The Hidden Land of Youngsters: The Reconnect” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

The Retreat Announces the Curtis Carlson Nelson Research Institute to Focus on Addiction and Recovery Research, Advocacy

Wayzata, MN, February 06, 2023, The Retreat has launched the Curtis Carlson Nelson Research Institute, a new initiative that will focus on research, thought leadership and advocacy in the areas of substance abuse and recovery. The Retreat is the Wayzata, Minn.-based continuum of care that provides education, programs, services and community for individuals and families looking to live free from addiction to alcohol and drugs.

The first project of the Curtis Carlson Nelson Research Institute, created to honor the legacy of longtime friend Curtis Carlson Nelson, will be a comprehensive, three-year research project studying outcomes for 12 Step, abstinence- and community-based recovery models. The institute also will produce thought-leadership and knowledge-sharing events, and curate research and published works on best practices in recovery.

The outcomes research will be conducted by Dr. John Kelly of the Recovery Research Institute, Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. This project, now in the design phase, will include periodic surveys of The Retreat guest population after their time in-residence to assess the quality of their recovery and effectiveness of abstinence-based models of care in supporting long-term recovery.

John Curtiss, co-founder and president/CEO of The Retreat and longtime authority on substance abuse and recovery, said the Curtis Carlson Nelson Research Institute will work to advance the understanding of substance use disorders, and how effectively abstinence-based, Twelve Step recovery models can treat these disorders.

“The goal is to provide clarity and insight into the information that individuals and families struggling with alcoholism and addiction rely on to make the best decisions for themselves and loved ones in determining how to find and live in recovery,” he said.

“Our father was deeply dedicated to his own recovery, and to helping others find theirs,” said Curtis Carlson Nelson’s daughter Juliet Nelson Jackson. “My sister and I are honored that his passion for bringing scientific rigor to addiction treatment can live on through this important work.”

About The Retreat
The Retreat provides affordable, effective recovery programs and educational services grounded in the Twelve Step principles of Alcoholics Anonymous that help to improve the quality of life for individuals, families and communities affected by alcohol and drug dependency.
