No one needs to die! Overcoming the COVID Darkness is about two doctors who used a treatment protocol early in the pandemic and early in treatment when the conventional wisdom issued was not to provide any treatment to patients and send them home until they got sick and then go to the hospital where they were then often put on breathing machines – many of whom died. To the contrary, every one of the patients Dr. Tyson and Dr. Fareed treated early in the illness recovered and there were NO deaths. They also treated those who were severely sick and only lost a few.

The treatment protocol they used included pharmaceutical and nutraceutical ingredients and has proven to be highly effective and safe with COVID, especially when caught early. This book is their story complete with testimonials from patients and other doctors, research studies, news clippings, and most of all, the reasons why this successful treatment was held back from the public. Overcoming the COVID Darknessis a must read for anyone concerned about their health and successfully negotiating the pandemic.

Dr. Fareed and Dr. Tyson have been on my radio and TV shows throughout the pandemic doing everything they could to inform the American public about the COVID-19 virus and their treatment protocols which have saved thousands of lives.
Sean Hannity, radio and TV host

How many more people would be alive today had the medical establishment followed the example of Dr. Tyson and Dr. Fareed instead of heeding arrogant bureaucrats who recommended no treatment for COVID-19 until it was often too late?
Senator Ron Johnson, Wisconsin

In Imperial County, CA, a hotspot for COVID in the US based on per capita COVID cases and deaths, our Church members took the protocol Dr. Fareed and Dr. Tyson recommended with amazing results— ZERO deaths!
Pastor Richard Moore, Trinity Baptist Church of Imperial Valley

I wasn’t supposed to survive.

I have 11 hours of life support left and no way of contacting Earth.

I’m alone. I’m stranded. I’m desperate.

But I’m alive.


The more of the station I explore, the surer I get that this was no accident. Someone did this, and I don't think they're finished yet.

Making it home feels like an impossible task, but I'm not just fighting for my own life.

I have to protect my family — whatever it takes.

And as long as I’m breathing, this isn't over.

Because whoever did this almost pulled it off… but they made one big mistake:

They left the wrong man standing...

When ten-year-old David Saidel's parents are murdered, he is sent to live with his grandfather in the anti-Semitic village of Brennenbach. Miserable and lonely, David finds solace in his kindly Grandpa Ernst, who has one strict rule: never go out after midnight.

The Nazi ghosts that infest Brennenbach are just as dangerous as they were in life. They're hunting for David, thinking he is the last member of a family they've been ordered to destroy.

Through the help of a little girl named Maria Rahm, David sets out to end the Curse before it claims more victims.

In a split-second, Patrick was gone; that moment would haunt Alexander forever. "Parallel Lives" is an enthralling novel that tells the story of Alexander Eastgard and his best friend, Patrick Close. Alexander is an athlete and a scholar with an adventurous spirit and an intense fascination with the past. When Alexander's rival, Hector Gonzalez, causes Patrick's death, the tragedy torments Alexander for the rest of his life and sets in motion a chain of events that darkens the lives of those around him- Helen, a woman of great beauty and astonishingly poor judgment; Mark, her devoted son; Julia, the Harvard undergrad whose romance with Mark proves unexpectedly dangerous; and Giulietta, the prescient but lovelorn fortune-teller- across two generations. This is an unforgettable novel filled with compelling characters. It is the story of a passionate, illicit affair, the apprehension and imprisonment of a drug lord, the descent of his son into addiction, a suicide with no body, and a hidden gun that falls into the wrong hands.

It was a crazy, one-time thing.
A night I’ll never forget.

The pounding of the bass from the speakers
Grinding on a crowded dance floor
Sexy masks and no last names.

We missed the countdown to midnight,
But that beautiful stranger and I definitely rang in the new year.

After my divorce I didn’t think I’d trust a woman again.
Briella’s new in town, and something about her draws me in.
Fierce, independent…and full of surprises.

I never expected to fall in love again.
I never guessed Briella was my masked lover on New Year’s Eve.
Or that the baby she’s carrying is mine.

My name's Mercy Brown-but don't let my name fool you. I'm merciless.

Book 1: Bloody Hell 

It had been almost a century and a half since I last encountered anyone from the Order of the Morning Dawn. They were religious fundamentalists with the dual goal of eliminating vampires and witches.

Being both a vampire and a witch I was the embodiment of everything the Order hates. Their first attempt to eliminate me failed. Thanks to the fact that my mentor in the Craft was also a necromancer.

When they burned my heart they didn’t kill me. They unwittingly completed a spell that tied my existence to the soul of one who took my place in hell.

Now I’m heartless, literally.

Not having a heart has some advantages. It means I’m pretty resilient, especially when it comes to wooden stakes.

So long as the soul bound to my existence remained in hell, I was virtually invincible.

But the Order figured it out. They hope to redeem the soul who was damned in my stead. If they do that, I’ll meet the true death for sure.  I have to capture the one damned in my place before the Order manages to liberate him from perdition. If they free him, I will die.

I have to go to bloody hell.

Should Wren ask his best friend to go on practice dates when he’s madly in love with him? Probably not. But a bad idea has never stopped Wren before. The last thing he expects to discover is that Izzy has been mutually pining for him. How long will it take before their practice dates become real ones?

Wren Ferres

I’m so used to Izzy shooting down my flirtations and bad ideas, I almost don’t know what to do when he accepts my offer to be my dating tutor. I really should have thought this genius plan out better because my heart is not prepared for my best friend to turn into Prince Charming, then sweep me off my feet like his romancing is for real. We’re only going on “practice” dates, but it feels a little too realistic. But that gives me another brilliant idea: I should try to convince Izzy to be my actual boyfriend.

Since he’s already agreed to being my dating tutor, maybe I’ll push my luck by suggesting some kissing practice next?

Izzy Devereaux

I fell in love with Wren the day he literally crashed into my life and became my best friend. He pushes me to my limits with his playful flirting, naughty innuendos, and nonstop passes that wear my resistance down a little more each day. When he asks me to go out with him on practice dates to give him “pointers,” I know I should tell him there’s no way in hell I’ll do that. Agreeing would put me in serious danger of my secret feelings for him being discovered. But, it also presents a tempting opportunity to make him see me as more than just his best friend. Even more importantly, it could be my only shot at making him my actual boyfriend.

Our dates may be fake, but my feelings for him are all too real. I’ve spent years suppressing my love for him, which obviously isn’t working. If I want to win his heart and make him mine, maybe it’s time for me to embrace my role as his dating tutor and teach him a lesson on how to fall in love with me?

Love Practice is the seventh and final book in the Good Bad Idea series and part of the Sunnyside universe.
