A Captivating Love Story Titled “Metamorphosis of a Young Maiden” Was Published by a Rising Author Dr. Wm Patric Leedom

OH, USA – WEBWIRE

Metamorphosis of a Young Maiden is a fascinating piece that takes readers to feel the scenario of a one-of-a-kind relationship. This story comprises a collection of love letters between the two from 47 years ago. It is a powerful example of two lovers going deep into life and making themselves vulnerable to each other as they build toward an intense relationship.

The story follows Dr. Wm. Patric Leedom and his love interest, Shelley. The story takes shape into a maidens transformation to love and vulnerability. It is called a metamorphosis of Shelley as she finally allows herself to go through major changes – from a nave, shy recluse who never considered sex with herself, to a more sophisticated young woman trusting another for the first time, feeling completed and loved for the first time. The story barely describes the beauty of the transformation of a young woman who fell in love with an older man, and how both sailed through the different challenges to hurdle their fate and love for each other and to have significant growth in due time.

It is a powerful example of two lovers going deep into life and making themselves vulnerable to each other as they build toward an intense relationship, Dr. Leedom

Written Story Planet Releases the First Book in the Meows and Mysteries Series: “Hijacked Arrows of Love”

 In a captivating debut, Alexis Cleoford took readers on a cosmic journey with “Hijacked Arrows of Love,” the first installment in the Meows and Mysteries series. Informed by the rise in love scams, this enthralling tale skillfully weaved suspense and cosmic charm into its narrative. “Hijacked Arrows of Love” weaves a tale that not only embraces the power of affection but also embodies the essence of gratitude and appreciation just in time for Thanksgiving.

In “Hijacked Arrows of Love,” readers are introduced to a thrilling escapade. As the story unveils, two daring feline brothers are tailing a mysterious van whose driver, with malevolent intent, unleashes arrows at unsuspecting individuals. But these are no ordinary arrows; whispers tell of Cupid’s stolen arrow of love, now in the hands of these nefarious bandits. The repercussions ripple out, affecting even Azaria, a dear friend to the feline duo.

The story serves as a warning about the dangers of crossbows and arrows in the wrong hands. One real-life incident involves Benjamin Bourke, who randomly attacked a teenage girl in September 2020, causing minor physical injuries but leaving deep emotional wounds. Another incident occurred on October 15 when a man was struck by an arrow while walking through Bailey’s Crossroads in Virginia.

Inspired by a True Story, “Miracle in East Texas” Comes to Canada Theaters Nationwide Starting Nov 3

 This Award-Winning Comedy for the Whole Family Stars Kevin Sorbo, Louis Gossett Jr., John Ratzenberger, & Sam Sorbo

Miracle in East Texas, the award-winning family comedy, starring Kevin Sorbo, John Ratzenberger, Louis Gossett Jr., Tyler Mane, and Sam Sorbo and will play in select theaters across Canada starting November 3, a Wild Fire Films production, presented by Purdie Distribution and Sorbo Studios.

The trailer is available at: www.sorbostudios.com/miracle-in-east-texas

Miracle in East Texas is inspired by a true story and centers around two con-men during the Great Depression who convince lonely widows to invest in their worthless oil wells. When their scheme is exposed, the unthinkable happens. The movie was filmed in and around the natural beauty of Alberta and Calgary Canada.

Kevin Sorbo, who reached international stardom as the lead in “Hercules: The Legendary Journeys,” directed the film and co-produced the film with his wife, Sam Sorbo.

“This is one of those rare films that combines comedy, drama, a little romance, and real-life events and we have been thrilled with the film festival awards we have already received,” says Kevin Sorbo. “As independent filmmakers we understand and continue to create trusted entertainment for the entire family. This is a message to the big studios on what families really want.”

Miracle in East Texas is a Wild Fire Films production in association with ETO Films and stars Kevin Sorbo (“Hercules,” God’s Not Dead), Louis Gossett Jr. (An Officer And A Gentleman), John Ratzenberger (“Cheers,” Toy Story), Tyler Mane (X-Men), Sam Sorbo (“Chicago Hope”), and Paula Boudreau (“Doc,” “Good Witch”). The movie is directed by Kevin Sorbo and written by Dan Gordon who also produced the film with Kevin Sorbo, Sam Sorbo, and James Quattrochi. Executive producers are Scott Jones and Jason Wan Lim.

Film Synopsis: Every saint has a past. Every sinner has a future.

In 1931, a pair of con artists, Doc Boyd and Dad Everett (Sorbo, Ratzenberger), blow into the small Texas town during the Great Depression targeting the savings of lonely widows with an oil scam. The vulnerable widows quickly fall prey to their romantic gestures and promises of profits. Then, miraculously, the unthinkable happens and they literally strike oil.

That’s just the first of many miracles that start popping forth from the dead soil of East Texas.

Will these miracles make honest men out of these swindlers and change their larcenous conniving ways? This tall tale inspired by a true story comes from a time when bums became billionaires and sinners became saints.

Running Time: 97 Minutes Genre: Drama, comedy, family

A Powerful Story of Resilience Amidst Vision Loss by William Arthur Nahmens is Set For Exhibit at Various Book Fairs

William Arthur Nahmens is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran with eight years, traveling the world on various charters. In the midst of that, however, he was afflicted with vision loss. His story of becoming disabled and coming to terms with it can all be found in his biography A Walk in the Darkness. The book is now set for display at book fairs around the world.

San Diego, CA – WEBWIRE

Battle through to win that battle!

The United States has over 1.3 million people who are legally blind, each with their own stories about how they overcame the challenges of their disability. For William Arthur Nahmens, he does not want his to be something that invokes pity or sympathy.

His book, A Walk in the Darkness: One Mans Struggle with Vision Loss, is meant to encourage readers who are undergoing similarly difficult situations. For him, the key will always be to never give in, never give up, or surrender to the situation.

Nahmens served eight years in the U.S. Marine Corps, attaining the rank of sergeant and achieving veteran status. But one day, he underwent the horrific experience of vision loss and had to grapple with the fate of being legally blind for the rest of his life.

In A Walk in the Darkness, he first explains how it happened and then proceeds to describe this stage of his life to that of a boxing match. He takes the first blow when his vision began to impair. Things take a turn for the worse, and he gets the knockdown.

Despite this, he holds to his conviction of never surrendering the battle. In fact, he goes as far as to implore others who are supporting people in similar situations to also never let their charges give up and stay down.

Without asking for pity, William Arthur Nahmens wishes to encourage many others with disabilities to develop resilience and take pride in it. A Walk in the Darkness: One Mans Struggle with Vision Loss is now slated to appear in various book fairs and exhibits around the world. It is also available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Author Bio
William Arthur Nahmens is a United States Marine Corps Veteran. He served eight years, reaching the rank of Sergeant. His stories are a combination of personal experiences and stories told to him by others he has met over the years, sprinkled with just a touch of fiction (for added excitement). He is legally blind and spends most of his time writing poetry and stories about charters he has met during his life time. He loves spending time alone with his memories. His hope in writing is twofold. First to tell others who have gone through similar experiences that it is okay to be human and show your emotions, second is to give those who never served, a glimpse of what Military life is like and offer them a chance to take a glimpse into the mind of a Marine. That glimpse can be both enlightening as well as freighting as you learn what it takes to become a Marine and what it means to be a Marine. The saying Once a Marine. Always a Marine: is not just some mindless words strung together. It is a code every Marine lives by for the rest of their life.
