A Book and a Chat with Thomas Laresca

The show today showed that one does not have to write a might tome to share with the reader important and helpful information that can only help those reading the finished product.

Thomas Laresca a high school and college athlete with a career professional career as a stock trader was living his American dream in Boca Raton, Florida with a wife, family and beautiful home when his world was shattered.

He was as we heard during the program wrongly arrested and abused by the police right outside his own house in a gated community. An event that not only left him, in intensive care, due mainly to being maced for thirty minutes while being pinned down, handcuffed and hogtied, but as we heard he actually died and started on the trip towards the light.

While recovering from this incident and fighting for justice Thomas was diagnosed with with cancer in three parts of his body. The next step was to go on a course of Chemo, however upon his first visit, he was told his blood count was too low, and the therapy could not continue, giving him just a possible three months to live.

His faith which had previously been severely tested now was tested once again, Thomas however not only found the strength from his often quiet praying and reading the New Testament, but his body started to self heal enough that the therapy was able to continue and he is now cancer free.

This though with all the issues was enough to start Thomas on the slippery slide into depression, something that again, with his faith and inner strength he was able to overcome.

Now in his book “I Want To Help: My Story About Cancer, Depression and God” he is able to share his own experiences and thoughts with many other who are facing their own issues.

The book is not a large book, but is one that will help and aid many readers.

As Thomas says…

“If reading it can help just one person, I’ll be happy.”

So listen now and share an interesting, and entertaining show as I chat with my special guest today on A Book and a Chat with Thomas Laresca

A Book and a Chat with Cindy Bradford

Though my guest today has been a writer most of her life, it was not until she retired that she wrote her first novel.

Cindy Bradford got the idea from a dream, which flowered into her debut novel “Keeping Faith” which has since been followed by the second book of the series “Promises Kept.”

With a hobby list that includes traveling,( which she does extensively), gardening, and cooking. Tasting, drinking, collecting, and reading about different kinds of wine and the countries that produce them. It is no wonder that it took until Cindy was retired for her first novel to be produced.

“Keeping Faith”

Romance readers will fall in love with Faith O’Brien’s gritty determination. After finding the father she never knew until adulthood, and graduating law school, she is focused on bringing down the priest who abused her father as a child. She wants the cunning, deceitful cleric put behind bars long enough that no other young boy will ever have to fear his touch. To do this, she takes on a veteran, highly experienced and shrewd Boston lawyer who will go to any means to win a case. But, he underestimates her passion for justice, her fight for right against a wrong.

“Promises Kept”

Promises Kept is Faith’s story, an unforgettable young woman whose life’s journey has been filled with uncertainty, of searching for people and answers that others take for granted. Compassionate and courageous, she never gives up, showing strength and character beyond her years. It is also the story about the power of the human spirit, of family, friends and love.

While these books are both contemporary women’s fiction, but numerous men have read the first and told me they really liked it. If they have to go in another category, it would have to be romance, but there is so much more to both of them than just romance.

As Cindy shared through the enjoyable thirty minutes the third book is up to the editing stage with an idea for a fourth book already germinating.

From eating around the world to seeing both Oh Calcutta and Hair in New York, the program with this delightful lady was one all would enjoy. So why not sit back and listen to today’s show… “A Book and a Chat with Cindy Bradford”.
