Turning the Corner on Grief Street: Loss and Bereavement as a Jouney of Awakening by Terri Daniel


Terri Daniel's new book, "Turning the Corner on Grief Street" begins where her previous books left off, by assuming that we are ready to accept grief and loss as not only necessary for spiritual growth, but also as sacred journeys that can elevate our perspectives and expand us rather than annihilate us.



We will all face the death of a loved one at some point in our lives, and inevitably, we will face our own deaths as well. Terri Daniel's new book, Turning the Corner on Grief Street begins where her previous books left off, by assuming that we are ready to accept these experiences as not only necessary for spiritual growth, but also as sacred journeys that can elevate our perspectives and expand us rather than annihilate us.



Grief Street introduces a new "grief code," which is found in a brave new world where grief can be viewed as a gift as well as a tragedy. In this world, death is not the enemy, and grief does not have to be paralyzing. Instead, we can welcome the ways in which grief shakes us loose from our spiritual lethargy and creates a wound that is much more than a wound… it is an opening to higher awareness that can lead us to greater peace in life and in death.



Terri Daniel is an ordained interfaith minister, clinical chaplain and intuitive counselor who assists dying and grieving individuals to discover a more spiritually spacious understanding of death and beyond. She is the author of two previous books: A Swan in Heaven: Conversations Between Two Worlds, which chronicles after-death dialogs with her son Danny, who died at age 16 in 2006; and Embracing Death: A New Look at Grief, Gratitude and God, offering a unique metaphysical perspective on birth, death and the afterlife via her channeled teachings on religious history, spirituality and the journey of the soul.



Terri is an in-demand teacher, speaker and workshop presenter for conferences and symposiums worldwide. Her experience includes facilitating bereavement support groups for children and adults, hospice and hospital chaplaincy, shamanic practices for helping souls cross over, sacred ceremonies, death-awareness education and grief counseling. In 2010 she founded the Afterlife Education Foundation and its annual conference, which features the world's leading researchers, counselors and educators in the metaphysics of death, dying and bereavement.









About Terri Daniel


Terri Daniel is an author, spiritual teacher and Certified Transition Guide who works with assistance from the Other Side to advance a metaphysical perspective on birth, death and the afterlife.



Her recent book, "A Swan In Heaven" is based on after-death dialogs between Terri and her son, who left the physical plane at age 16. Her new book, "Embracing Death: A New Look at Grief, Gratitude and God," examines cultural myths about the afterlife and offers a path to alternative perceptions via meditation, visualization and channeling.



Terri conducts workshops and metaphysical study groups around the U.S. and also counsels bereaved individuals by offering alternative perspectives on the experience of grief and loss. She has spoken on the topic of conscious death to community gatherings, churches, bereavement groups and spiritual conferences, and her articles have been published in Whole Life Times, Neurology Today, Exceptional Parent, Pure Inspiration, Special Child, Children’s Hospice.org and related websites.

Koban: Shattered Worlds by Stephen W Bennett

>> Tuesday, December 16, 2014


The Kobani raid Krall worlds, destroying factories that sustain their war of extermination. Stung by human successes, the Krall summon an ancient Olt'kitapi ship that destroys planets, and the Kobani scramble to halt the annihilation from reaching Earth. In a betrayal to end the destruction, the PU President meets Krall demands to reveal the Kobani base. Its fight or flight time for the Kobani.



This is Book 4 of the popular and high rated Koban Series.



The Kobani continue their offensives against the Krall, attacking production worlds, and destroy or steal ships from the Krall fleet, which the enemy needs to resupply their invasions. The Kobani create a multispecies settlement on Haven, a gentler habitable world near deadly Koban. They gain the trust and technological assistance of freed former Krall slave species, the Torki, Prada, and resurrected Raspani.



Their ranks and Mind Tap learned skills are increased by spec ops recruits from Human Space. Mirikami engineers an assault on the Krall base world, K1, in cooperation with a skeptical human navy by sharing new technology, revealing Kobani physical capabilities, and providing intelligence on new Krall invasion plans. Despite knowing the Kobani use illegal gene mods, the navy high command decides to hit the Krall first, with the help of their secretive tough Kobani ally.



After the attack, a mauled Krall fleet still heavily outnumbers the navy, and the damaged human fleet withdraws. A vengeful Krall warlord, the Kobani’s old nemesis Telour, summons an ancient Olt’kitapi ship that can shatter an entire planet. He has a devious plan for remote strikes that will initiate delayed deaths on multiple human worlds, all before a ship imbued with morality can learn it’s been duped. Telour wants the home world of humanity to see death approaching, one world at a time.



Mirikami expected a strong Krall reaction, but not this extreme. He scrambles to head off inexorable destruction of multiple planets. Failing to save some worlds, he’s the final hope for billions of people on others. The Kobani will need the strength and speed their genes provide, plus luck to save humanity.



Book 1 Koban, Book 2 Koban: The Mark of Koban, Book 3 Koban: Rise of the Kobani









About Stephen W Bennett


About the author:

I was born in 1942, so I'm an autumn rather than a spring chicken. I live outside of Tampa, Florida with my fabulous wife Anita, and one remaining son at home, Montana. I have three older boys, Mark, Gary, and Anthony, all of whom have married and presented us with terrific grandchildren.



My early reading interests were arguably all sci-fi related, from Doctor Doolittle, Captain Marvel, to Superman. I then transitioned to "real" science fiction on black and white TV, such as Captain Video and Flash Gordon. I read hundreds of books by the science fiction greats growing up, and thousands of fair to not so greats in dual novel paperbacks and magazines.



My education gravitated to science, starting out as a physics major and my depression era folks told me I'd never make a living as a theoretical physicist (probably right, and Cosmology wasn't a career field then), so I moved to Electronics Engineering. I did most of that in the aerospace field for MacDonnell Douglas Corp, in St. Louis, Mo. I worked on the F4 Phantom project, and briefly on Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL), before the fickle fates of government finance forced contract cancelations. I devoted (read: I was drafted into) two years' service for the US Army from 1965 to 1967. A great two years, and the Army, caring not a whit for my electronics background, offered this draftee a job as an Air Traffic Controller. Cool!



After discharge I spent a short time back at MacDonnell Douglas before the contract reductions laid me off, and was hired by Emerson Electric (1968), working on the design of a neat heads-up fire control system for the Army's new Cheyenne Helicopter (to be a 270-knot hybrid fixed wing/rotor craft). Never heard of it? The fickle fates of Army finance is why this time, plus Lockheed didn't keep the airframe part from crashing and burning at a crucial point in development.



I taught Electronics for about eighteen months (near starvation wages after the high pay), and finally decided to try my hand at actually supporting my family again. I hired on with the Federal Aviation Administration as an Air Traffic Controller in 1970. Thanks Army! I spent exactly forty years in federal service, deciding in 1979 to use my technical background to work on writing features for the software of the FAA's Terminal Automation Systems (for 28 of those 40 years).



Retired, I now work as a consultant/contractor for the FAA, supporting a software system I helped create. I finally decided to try my hand at writing what I love to read, Science Fiction.



The sales of Koban, Book 1, and Koban: The Mark of Koban, Book 2, have been gratifyingly high, staying in the 100 Best Sellers list for Sci-Fi High Tech or Military Sci-Fi, and in Space Opera, for almost six months after the first one was was released (August 18, 2012), and really taking off again when Book 2 came out for Valentine's day, 2013. I thank the readers and their generous and helpful reviews for allowing me to improve the books, thus contributing to them doing so well.



The third book, Koban: Rise of the Kobani, was released in October, 2013. Book 4 (Koban: Shattered Worlds) will be on that third book's heels.



Thanks for reading my book(s).
