June 16th of this year, Nik Wallenda did something no one else ever did — he walked across Niagara Falls for the whole world to see. Wallenda did so in a place full of history, tourism and…ghosts! Some people scoff at tales of restless spirits. Then again, some people don’t know how to have a little fun. Join celebrated author Peter Andrew Sacco as he explores the shadowy regions of his home turf, the stunningly beautiful Niagara Falls area.

Niagara’s Most Haunted: Legends and Myths (Booklocker) visits the most haunted places, where people have witnessed ghost activity dating back hundreds of years up to the current day. In some spooky locales, paranormal investigators brought their equipment along to prove or disprove popular claims. The book includes many photos of the ghostly sites, including mysterious orbs caught on camera.

“When it comes to things that go bump in the night, Peter is always on target,” says Stan Mallow, acclaimed psychic and host of the TV show “Paranormal Niagara.” “As a result of his curious mind and investigative prowess he is truly the Sherlock Holmes of the paranormal world. His latest book is highly recommended.”

Millions of people live what appear to be normal lives, yet they are secretly numbing their emotional pain with alcohol, drugs, food and many other lifestyle addictions. Michael Cartwright knows all about it; he transformed his life, becoming clean, sober and a respected pioneer in the recovery field. Now he shares his success in a practical and readable book, Believable Hope: Five Essential Elements to Beat Any Addiction (HCI).

“There was a time when the world wrote me off as just another useless addict with no home, no money and no future,” Cartwright says. “If I hadn’t found my own believable hope, my addiction and mental health issues would have definitely killed me.”

The Stevenson family has a unique place in American political history. The first Adlai E. Stevenson, Vice President of the U.S., collected stories, jokes and aphorisms in a loose-leaf binder throughout his long career. They were jotted on napkins, cards — anything at hand. If it was worth keeping, it went in the binder which became known as “the black book.” His son, Lewis Stevenson, Illinois Secretary of State, contributed little, but his grandson Adlai II expanded the black book in his career as a lawyer, senior official in the Roosevelt and Truman administrations, Governor of Illinois, Presidential candidate and Ambassador to the UN.

Adlai E. Stevenson III inherited the black book, including contributions from friends and supporters around the world, and augmented it from his career as a Marine, lawyer, State Representative, State Treasurer, United States Senator, candidate for governor, international investment banker and ever the hereditary global sojourner and public policy activist. The black book was continuously organized and reorganized as a ready source of wit and wisdom for their speeches.
