An Enchanting Case of Spirits By Melissa Holtz https://amzn.to/3W2Ko2s When a fortieth birthday celebration leads to a ghostly visitor, four friends find themselves navigating surprising mysteries and spiritual hijinks, in this clever debut from Melissa Holtz. Alyssa Mann isn’t adventurous, not since her husband died and she found herself the single mom of a teenage daughter. But there’s no way to avoid celebrating the big 4-0, so when her best friends drag her out for drinks and a tarot reading, she throws caution to the wind and decides to see what the spirits have to say. It’s all fun and games, until she wakes up the next morning with a wicked hangover—and a ghost perched on the edge of her bed. Sheer panic sends her running to get help from Nick West, the (very attractive) detective who lives next door. When he finds no one inside, Alyssa has to accept that she really did see a ghost. As the dearly departed keep appearing, Alyssa and her friends do their best to learn how to control her newfound power. Trading insults with ghosts, tracking down family heirlooms, and getting closer to the skeptical but helpful Nick is more fun than Alyssa imagined. But when looking into one ghost’s past reveals unexpected—and unwelcome—facts about Alyssa’s late husband’s death, she discovers she just may be in over her head. ABOUT MELISSA HOLTZ Melissa Holtz is a former publicist and marketing expert in the romance genre. Now in an advisory role to several bestselling authors, she consults on industry marketing trends. An Enchanting Case of Spirits is her debut novel.

His company, National Claims Negotiators, is well-known for providing policy analysis, insurance claim expertise, and claim documentation to ensure clients receive the compensation they are entitled to under their policy. Episode Summary: In this episode of The Chris Boss Show, host Chris Voss interviews Ron Snouffer, the owner and CEO of National Claims Negotiators, LLC. Ronald shares his insights and expertise in the field of public insurance adjusting, discussing how his company helps property owners navigate complex insurance claims. He explains the challenges faced by property owners when dealing with insurance companies and highlights the importance of seeking professional representation to ensure fair compensation. Ronald also discusses the impact of recent environmental events on insurance claims and the need for better education and regulation in the industry. Key Takeaways: Insurance companies are a for-profit industry, and they often try to minimize payouts or deny claims altogether. Property owners should consider hiring a public insurance adjuster, especially for complex claims such as fire, flood, or tornado damage. The sooner a public adjuster is involved in a claim, the quicker it can be resolved and the property owner can receive fair compensation. Insurance policies have become increasingly complex, and it is crucial for property owners to understand their coverage and rights. The insurance industry needs more regulation and better education for public adjusters to ensure fair treatment for policyholders. Notable Quotes: “The insurance companies go, ‘Okay, well let’s go ahead and pay some stuff out here.’ How’s that work? Because of our track record? I mean, they know that we document our files extremely well and we provide enough evidence so that if it does have to be seen by an attorney, that we’ll win.” – Ron Snouffer “There are no bad questions when it comes to insurance claims. If you don’t understand something, you’re confused, or you feel uneasy about a position that the carrier has put you in, you just need to ask. We’re more than willing to help.” – Ron Snouffer

Where Do We Go From Here?: Helping Adoptive Parents Guide Their Children Through Trauma & Into Positive Safe Relationships™ by Scotty Aemis https://amzn.to/4cYHx0r Childtraumasherpa.com Are you feeling hopeless and lost in a maze of parenting decisions? Are you and your family struggling with the behaviors of your adopted child? Does it seem like they are out of control and acting out at school and home? This book will offer you hope and rekindle the gratitude you had when you first began this journey. The paradox is that everything we’ve been taught, or might logically think, doesn’t work with the trauma adoptive kids experience. Our instincts are to try harder, push harder, and “solve” the problem. But, in fact, the opposite is true. Instead of “fixing” the problem, we need to look at creating a supportive environment in which your child can heal. “What I learned is that the way forward is available if parents are provided the resources, support, and information they need in order to make good decisions for their kids. I am dedicated to support fellow parents who are on a similar journey because all children have the right to live lives of purpose and significance as God intended.”
