Release Blitz: Echoes of Fortune: Shadows Over Cozumel by David R. Leng #releaseday #newbooks #mystery #thriller #rabtbooktours

Mystery, Thriller

Date Published: November 11, 2025

 

What would you risk to uncover a secret buried for over 150 years?

From bestselling and multi–award-winning author David R. Leng comes the next pulse-pounding installment in the Echoes of Fortune series.

His debut, Echoes of Fortune: The Search for Braddock’s Lost Gold, captivated readers and earned a 4.5-star rating on Goodreads. Now the adventure continues with a brand-new novella that plunges deeper into history’s deadliest secrets.

When historian Jack Sullivan, Smithsonian curator Emma Wilson, and fellow former Navy SEAL Steve Johnson set out for a Thanksgiving dive off Cozumel, they expect nothing more than warm waters and forgotten wrecks. Instead, they uncover a Confederate ghost ship that vanished in 1865—along with a sealed brass tube containing secrets powerful enough to change history.

But they’re not alone. Shadowy mercenaries and a black-hulled yacht stalk their every move, determined to silence them before the truth surfaces. From dazzling reefs to the back alleys of Veracruz, Jack and his team are forced into a deadly game where history isn’t past—it’s a weapon.

Some secrets don’t want to be found. And some will kill to stay buried.

Perfect for fans of Steve Berry, Clive Cussler, Dan Brown, and James Rollins, Shadows Over Cozumel delivers nonstop action, historical intrigue, and a mystery that spans centuries.

Book Blitz: From Behind the Clipboard: Lessons From a Wedding Planner by Shari Zatman #nonfiction #selfhelp #biographical #rabtbooktours

From Behind The Clipboard  

 

Biographical / Self-Help / Wedding Planning

One of the most interesting and rewarding aspects of being an event planner is the personal relationships I develop with clients with whom I work. For a period of time, I get to be an integral part of their lives as we plan together to create a lifecycle event that will be long remembered. During this process with them, I am often navigating a range of emotion, family and relationship dynamics, decision paralysis and more. Not only am I a wedding planner and designer, but I often feel that I am a coach, mentor and therapist as well.

This book dives deeper than being only a “how to” guide by also including psychological and professional perspective pertaining to the wedding planning process.  It helps address decision making, external influences, financial pressure, stress management, relationship preservation and so much more. I share my advice and pro tips and open up about personal experiences including stories that reflect on what I have learned and the wisdom I can impart to others based upon what I have done successfully in planning and experiences that may not have gone as I had hoped, but became a great lesson for what not to do. I want everyone who is planning a wedding to know that it is absolutely ok for their wedding to be “perfectly imperfect.”

About the Author

I am a business owner and professional wedding and special event planner.  I have owned Perfectly Planned by Shari for 20 years and have worked in the event industry for approximately 28 years. During this time, I have planned hundreds of weddings and events.

Majoring in design and communications in college, I bring my passion for interior design to my events. I worked with my clients on developing the creative vision and curate the style and aesthetic for all events I plan.

That being said, my greatest achievement is being a mom and raising my twin, almost 21 year old sons, whom I am immensely proud of for being responsible and kind humans. I believe the best thing I have done in my life has been creating my family.

About the Author

 

 Joe Strazzeri is an attorney and counselor to successful families and business owners. With a lifelong desire to become a lawyer, he leveraged his second career as a general contractor, hammering nails to pay for law school. He has been self-made since his 20s.

He is a founding partner in four companies that serve multi-generational affluent families and self-made business owners, and he teaches the trusted advisors to both. Their life’s work centers on Three Systems of Family Thriving: family wealth, family relationships and family business relationships, and family advisory relationships. They focus on four key capabilities: tax masterminding, business succession, cleaning up messes in families’ existing planning, and Family Synergy Work.

Tour Kick Off: To Eternity and Back by R.A. Varghese #nowontour #nonfiction #rabtbooktours

Nonfiction

Date Published: June 24, 2025

Publisher: BlackBox

The Multiverse comprises different realms of reality as apparent in its map.

The first realm is made up of different kinds of substances with specific powers. These range from the world of pure matter (quantum fields) to various embodied forms of life, consciousness and rational thought (microbial, botanical, mammalian, et al.) to the world of pure spirit (angelic).

The second realm encompasses the agents who "operate" the substances. These range from unicellular microbes to plants to animals to human beings to angels.

Then there is the realm of purpose, beauty, the virtues, right and wrong, good and evil.

Finally, we have the worlds that will never end: Plenitude on the one side, Heaven; and Void on the other, Hell.

Our journey through the Multiverse begins with the Mission Control Center.

Here we find the Source of all that exists, we discover that Its Life has no beginning or end and, finally, that It is Tri-personal, Three Centers in One infinite Mind and Will.

Next, we explore the Metaverse of Mind, the cosmos in which we live with its five domains of mind.

Underlying the Metaverse is the MindField, infinite-eternal Mind.

We then move to the world of Homo sapiens, the highest form of mind in the physical world.

From there we go to the realm of pure minds, the world of good and evil spirits/angels.

Next up is the religious history of humanity that culminates in the Incarnation of Infinity and the descent of the divine Spirit.

The Incarnation bestowed on Homo sapiens the God Gene, the Life of God.

Those who live with the divine Life offered to them enter into eternal ecstasy; those who reject it suffer the endless agony of separation.

Finally, you will meet your Secret Lover.
