Love knows no boundaries; it’s written in the threads of
destiny….

 

“An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet,
regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or
tangle, but it will never break.” – Chinese Proverb

 

The Invisible Red String is a soulful odyssey where an invisible red thread
of destiny weaves a tapestry of love, growth, and transformation across
continents.

 

Join four extraordinary souls as their lives intertwine in the most
unexpected of ways, transcending the barriers of race and culture to create
profound and meaningful connections.

John, an advertising executive, carries the scars of a turbulent past, a
product of the foster care system, now striving to provide a loving home for
his son, who has Down syndrome. When his supermodel wife abandons him, he
finds himself at a crossroads, searching for healing and redemption.

Anna, hailing from a conservative background in Kerala, India, knows the
pain of forced arranged marriages and the depths of physical abuse. As a
divorcee, she’s determined to break free from her past and discover her own
path to happiness.

Jake, a successful cardiologist, appears superficial on the surface, but
beneath his polished exterior lies a longing for something deeper. He
embarks on a journey of self-discovery, encountering a love that transcends
time and space.

Lilly, a young African woman who once endured the cruelty of corporal
punishment, arrives in a foreign land to pursue her education, with no
family to guide her. She finds unexpected solace in the warm embrace of a
gay couple who become her chosen family.

 

As these four souls converge at Soul Haven, a place where personal stories
are shared, and meaningful bonds are forged, they embark on a remarkable
journey of growth and transformation. Through profound experiences, they
confront their traumas, explore unconventional therapies like past life
regression and shadow work, and break down the barriers of race and
culture.

 

Anna and John’s love story emerges as a beacon of hope, proving that love
can heal even the deepest wounds. Jake and Maya’s connection transcends the
physical realm, leading Jake on a quest to understand the depths of his own
soul.

 

The Invisible Red String is a spiritual love story that delves into complex
concepts of abuse, trauma, and therapy, offering a glimpse into the power of
human connection and the unbreakable threads of destiny that bind us
all.

A journey home reveals more than John could ever have imagined –
secrets, loss, and the surprising power of redemption.

 

After years of service, John Furst settled into a low-key bureaucratic post
within the US military, coordinating funeral arrangements for soldiers. With
a loving woman in his corner, and a punchy work crew he enjoys, he could
ride this thing out to retirement. Then a call comes in. His father’s
cracking voice informs John that his disliked elder brother has suddenly
died.

John must journey home to face the questions around his drug-addicted
brother’s death, the conflicted family members who remain, and his own
ghosts haunting through four generations of small-town minds. Drawing on
patience, drinking, laughter, tears, and screams, John and his estranged
family face tragic loss, and he learns that while before his life once
seemed secure, it now appears held in place by stagnation.

While crossing a bridge to work one morning after the funeral, John decides
to take a leap unforeseen.

Join John on his transformative journey as he navigates the complexities of
family, love, and self-discovery. Discover the power of second chances and
the resilience of the human spirit in a story that will tug at your
heartstrings and leave you pondering the choices that define us all.

 

The Home I Left is a gripping tale that reminds us that, sometimes, it’s
the journey back that leads us forward.

About the Author

Travis Bush

Travis Bush is a novelist, academic writer, and committed adventurer, at
least in his mind. Born in the small town of Dade City, Florida, and then
raised in the slightly bigger town of Zephyrhills, he quickly looked to
leaving whenever he could. Hindered in his first attempt—being only
eleven then and lacking a driver’s license—Travis was forced to stick
around for longer than he wanted. Once grown and graduated from Saint Leo
University, which equipped him with degrees in Political Science and
History, he was ready to take on the world. While his education may have
given him a deep love of philosophy and humanity, it didn’t yield many
career opportunities nor the chance to leave town like he’d always dreamed.
Luckily, Uncle Sam had just the thing for him: Travis joined the Army and
finally went on his grand adventure. However, it was slightly less grand and
looked much more like rural Alabama, Louisiana, Virginia, and Arizona. The
adventure was also less on the adventurous side and more confined to
isolating cubicles and windowless rooms. Undeterred, Travis took to
daydreaming and writing. His debut novel and those that follow, overflow
with the adventures, nightmares, or caffeine-fueled hallucinations he wished
he’d had or wishes he hadn’t.

Faith is the Only Hope for Survival…

Apocalyptic 7-Salvations’ Cry is a story of battles between God’s earthly warriors and malevolent forces.

In a system morally bankrupt in 2043, a former government assassin learns who she is in Christ and leads a team to unearth a key organization who presumes they’re descendants of fallen angels. They accept orders from a mysterious leader who can read minds. While chaos breaks out between the team, only their faith will carry them from mission to mission to stop the Apollyon. The Apocalyptic 7 comes together to block the Apollyon from creating a world built of chaos. During the missions, they learn Black Rain, a vigilante group, craves to dispose of the Apollyon for good.

Excerpt

 

“A command came, for us to retreat.

“Leapfrogging, we started to get the hell out of there. Fire started coming at us from the river and from the houses we had already cleared. The enemy had got between us and the second wave of soldiers that were securing the cleared area. Insurgents were popping up from inside houses and behind walls everywhere, shooting wildly and fiercely. They must have crossed the river because heavy fire was coming from that direction. I was second, and in the chaos, I lost the person in front of me and the person behind, several times. When we got to the copter, Dubbie wasn’t there. He was number four. I went back. In an opening where firing had been heavy, the wind was swirling, looking for an escape tunnel. It caused a circle of dust around a statue in the middle of the opening. The statue came in and out of view, depending on the cloud of dust. I looked, hard. The statue was Dubbie. He was standing straight up, motionless—a sitting duck, in his jargon. I worked my way until I was about fifty feet from him. I remember hearing ‘… as fast as a flitting firefly, as silent as falling snow.’ I dashed, knocked him down, and grabbed and dragged him to a shelter—a bullet-riddled shed. Troy had followed me. Dubbie was in an unresponsive stupor. His eyes stared somewhere in the distance. He was catatonic, but Troy could shoulder him. I covered, and, somehow, we got to the copter. We loaded and took off. We crammed Dubbie in between Troy and me. I put my arms around him to warm him; to melt the ice. When I got my breath, over the noise, I started yelling at him: ‘Good shot, Ryan. Very good shot.’ I yelled it over and over. Then another voice joined mine, and another, and then another. Soon, even though exhaustion and injuries overtook them, all the men started chanting: ‘Good shot, Ryan. Very good shot.’ ‘Good shot, Ryan. Very good shot.’

“A lifetime passed.

I felt him crumble. He slumped over me, moulding against me like a two-hundred-pound sack of prairie potatoes. I felt his hot tears running down my neck.

“The wind came out of me in a huge sigh of relief.”

About the Author

Marlene F. Cheng,

I ran barefoot on the Canadian prairies in the dust that settled after the 2nd World War. That makes me an octogenarian, an oldie.

Thrust from the infinity of wheat fields into the warp of the Rockies, Selkirk and Purcell mountains, the light that defined a frightful, but interesting, high school life challenged me.

Our neighbours were all Italian—migrants to Canadian mining towns. With his Welsh-born farmers’ busyness, my father found strange their art of dolce far niente—that is, the sweetness of doing nothing. They practised it, “Come in. Come in. Sit down. Taste my homemade vino.”

Our family adapted.

And the flames of railway trestles burning and women parading nude colored life. Doukhobors (a sect that had fled persecution in Russia) settled in the Kootenays. They protested having to send their children to public schools.

Wearing a babushka and twirling spaghetti, not only did I survive those years, but I thrived.

Vancouver, the “big city,” where I discovered traffic lights and city buses, claimed me for medical lab training, and I worked the night shift in the blood bank to put myself through university.

I’ve worked in cancer research, taught at tech schools, become a registered massage therapist, taken up energy schooling in NY., married and raised two kids, and, at 73, published my first book A Many Layered Skirt, a biography about a young Chinese girl trying to keep one frightening step ahead of the soldiers, during the Japanese occupation.

My husband, of 56 years, was Chinese. Our mixed marriage was intriguing, and happiness was ours. Interests in people, cultures and places took us around the world. Many of those adventures find their way into my writing. He passed away, throwing my life into chaos. Now, I’ve picked up the pen, again, and have written four books in the Love is Forever Series; a Historical Romance-The Inspector’s Daughter and The Maid; and a literary, autofiction-Shifting to Freedom.
