"The Road to Reconciliation" Author Appears on WHEC-TV in Rochester, NY Dec. 16

   The holiday season has arrived. If you haven't done it already, pretty soon you'll probably be spending a lot of time with friends and family; but for those people who have conflicts with their family, or significant other, the holiday season can be dicey.
   Keith R. Wilson, a psychotherapist from Rochester, N.Y.,  was interviewed on WHEC-TV  in Rochester the morning of Sun., Dec. 16.
   He talked about the most common types of conflicts people in relationships of all kinds typically deal with and the biggest trap people often fall into when dealing with conflict: trying to come to terms with their partner before they really dig in and look at their own thinking and behavior.
   He also offered strategies for traveling the road to reconciliation before the holidays arrive, and how people can use his new book, The Road to Reconciliation: A Comprehensive Guide to Peace When Relationships Go Bad, as a roadmap for putting their differences aside.

Special Thanksgiving Day Breakfast for the Homeless Gets TV Coverage in Minneapolis

   The Thanksgiving Day Celebration kicked off early in the morning on Thurs., Nov. 22 with a special breakfast for the homeless at The Salvation Army’s Harbor Light Center in Minneapolis.
   In addition to receiving a nice meal, each attendee was given what is sure to be a much appreciated gift… a personal care kit donated by Threshold to New Life, a 501c3 charity whose mission is to help people experiencing gaps in their life, and keep them from becoming homeless. Organization founders Richard Bahr and his wife, Carla, are among the volunteers who regularly help serve breakfast to the homeless people who seek assistance at the center.
   That morning, Richard also shared some of the stories in his new book, Those People, The true character of the homeless, which features a collection of stories about some of the homeless people he has encountered over the years.
    KARE Television/Minneapolis covered the event. Bahr was also interviewed on the Faith Radio network show, Afternoons with Bill Arnold, on Wed., Nov. 21, and on Nov. 26, KSTP Television ran a story about Bahr and his book.

Story About "Letters from Elvis" Published in Globe Magazine

   Elvis Presley is back in the news in a big way! On Nov. 16, President Trump awarded him the highest honor a president can bestow on a civilian — the Medal of Freedom — saying, "Presley defined American culture to billions of adoring fans around the world."
And starting to hit newsstands now, The King is featured in the Nov. 26 edition of The Globe, this time because of the letters he wrote to a secret confidante before his death in 1977. The article is about the contents of the book, Letters from Elvis, just released at the beginning of November and its author, Gary Lindberg, who makes his home in the Twin Cities.
    Lindberg signed copies of his new book at the Barnes and Noble at the Apache Mall in Rochester, Minn., on Nov. 17, and two media outlets covered the event: KAAL Television and the Rochester Post Bulletin newspaper. At the event, Lindberg shared the story of how the book came to be, did a reading, and also signed copies.
   Letters from Elvis is based on the contents of a collection of letters Elvis Presley and his friends—Harry Belafonte, Tom Jones and Marlon Brando—wrote to their secret confidant Carmen Montez. The letters shed light on what was happening at a time in Elvis’ life when he seemed to be in a tragic decline. They discuss torture, heinous Hollywood crimes, various suicide attempts, his overmedication and more.
   Copies are available now at www.calumeteditions.com/elvis.
