speaker—in person and on TV. Dr. Mignone’s Psych Consults is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn more about mental health. This scholarly yet accessible book is designed for any adult seeking to recognize and treat everything from depression to specific issues faced by children and seniors.

The Beads of Lapis Lazuli, by Doris Kenney Marcotte

Doris Kenney Marcotte has turned decades of studying Minoan civilization
into two novels. She has researched at the Athens National Museum, the
Heraklion Archeological Museum on Crete, and the British Museum in London,
among others. The Beads of Lapis Lazuli is part mystery and part psychological drama as it mixes history, obsession, and the paranormal for an exhilarating read. Bridging time and space, the story is about seeking truth, taking control of our lives and discovering the unknown strength within each of us.

Enjoy Doris Kenney Marcotte’s reaction to the news when we shared this announcement with her:

“What wonderful news!  It’s difficult to tell you how honored I feel to learn that the book has been selected as a finalist for Best Book of the Year. From the beginning, my goal was to see my work in print and to entertain, and now to have the book receive special recognition a second time is amazing.  Thank you. One of the unexpected pleasures receiving the EVVY Award and now being chosen as a Best Book finalist is how much fun my family and friends are having celebrating.  I hope you and the Production Staff are celebrating too because without all of you it would never have happened.   I will be organizing my “troops” to wage a voting campaign and I welcome all the marketing suggestions you’ve been sending.” – Doris Kenney Marcotte

I have been getting testimonies from the book contents since we gave out the first copies. We have people wanting to help promote the book. I wrote the book and every time I pick it up and read it God gives me more revelation from the book. It’s like I am reading my own book for the first time. The book was published on 2/28/2011 and is already making a big impact in people’s lives. People are telling me how simple the book is to read and how they are able to understand the contents of the book.

People are really impressed with the format of the book overall. The book teaches people a simple step-by-step process on how to receive healing and deliverance from God according to His word.

I just want to say thank you to Outskirts Press and also to let you know that the first person that read the book and applied the principles in the book is already healed. God healed them as a result of reading the book and then applying what they learned from the book. Outskirts Press, if you didn’t publish my book this testimony would not be possible and there are many, many more testimonies to come as a result of this book publishing with you. Thank you again. ” – William A. Anderson, author of How to Develop and Apply Your Confidence and Faith for Healing
