By: David H Aretsky
Mick Jagger, Tony Bennett, Michael Jackson, Dolly Parton and Prince, I have worked with them all. Along with actors such as Michelle Rodriguez, Will Smith, and Roddy McDowall. And many more. I traveled around the world: scuba diving with hammerhead sharks, trekked through jungles to ancient ruins, and cycled up mountains. I’ve worked as a stagehand for over forty years. Too bad I didn’t realize how good life was until after my girlfriend of eighteen years dumped me. Then I stopped to take a look back at my life and see what made it worth living again. WINNER: BRONZE MEDAL for Non-Fiction—Music/Entertainment, READERS FAVORITE 2026 WINNER: BRONZE MEDAL for Non-Fiction—Music/E...

Flight of a Lifetime Miracles do happen

By: Philip Watling

I was hit by a car and killed! Thankfully death wasn't terminal and as the years passed in this new life, I was able to write a book, "Flight of a Lifetime" – updated to this new version.
