This narrative, set from the 1970s through the late 90s in the Pacific Northwest, unveils how the circumstances of adoptive parents can sometimes take precedence over the curiosity of adoptees--even into adulthood. In this memoir, an adoptive father's traumatic brain injury, his struggle with recovery, the idea of divorce, and a family secret consume the adoptive parents time and leave little room to deal with the legal status of their two adopted daughters. Like so many overseas adoptees, the twins believed full-heartedly that they were American citizens throughout their upbringing. The gist of this personal experience unveils how and why one American family expanded their belief system to include an alternative and eccentric philosophy outside the scope of their dogmatic upbringing. The author merely considers herself to be just another proud all-American product of the X-Generation. She shares her childhood upbringing focused on the typical things American kids were faced with in the 1980s, like a religious upbringing, the divorce of parents, and, oh yeah, something about getting messages from her deceased adoptive mother. CAUTION: Some parts of this book are optional reading and can go ignored if it disagrees with your belief system. Unfortunately, there are some experiences that some readers might find "creepy," while others see the same events inspiring. Janine's response to this paradox is that it is up to you to judge. In her case, and after all said, done, and heard, she has learned to take all her experiences as lightly as possible, because while there are injustices worth fighting against (like in her case adoption trafficking), there are other occurrences that have happened, and will happen, beyond humanity's control. When it comes to international adoption, it does not matter if you are genuine and have already devoted your entire life helping your adoptive parents. In the eyes of the law and authority, you might still be labeled what they call an "illegal alien" based solely on their mood. The end of this story marks the beginning of Janine's discovery into The Search for Mother Missing, which so happens to be the title of her next book!

Could the arrival of Eloah, an Elohim teacher, prove the quantum physics “multiverse” theory? Can he stop a nuclear war that would destroy Earth and every parallel universe attached to the planet?

WINNER: Pinnacle Book Achievement Award - Best Thriller
WINNER: Readers' Favorite Book Award - Silver Medal: Young Adult Fiction - Religious Theme

From Review by Bestselling Author Seeley James: “The story is imaginative and interesting. He keeps even the skeptical reader riveted to the outcome. He does a better job than Dan Brown.”

From Review by Amazon Bestselling Author Ken Stark: “Part sci-fi, part political thriller, and part quantum physics 101, the entire 'Eloah' series is genre-warping done right. Lex Allen has clearly done his homework, and he manages to weave biblical history, alien intervention, and the multiverse theory into a first-rate action/adventure with seamless efficiency. It's a fun read, full of action and intrigue, clever dialogue, and a great cast of characters, including a wonderfully evil villain with all of Eloah's powers and no redeeming qualities whatsoever.”

Jack Schmidt, a retired Special Forces Command Sergeant Major, is an internationally successful blogger and hardcore atheist. Eloah, back to our reality to stop the potential nuclear annihilation of our reality and theirs, throws his world into a nosedive. With the help of Dr. Elizabeth Washburn (his mate over many past lives) he comes to believe in a life beyond.

Indeed, the revelation Eloah brings to Earth will send shock waves throughout the world.

From Review by Reading Glass Reviews: “Bottom line: The writing is excellent, the execution is excellent, the plotting is paced well and the characters are believable and relatable. Kudos to the author for producing a work of fiction that's, at once, intellectually stimulating and a lot of fun to read.”

Hovering just below the surface of Shilo Giannelli’s average existence lays an amazing spiritual power. Late one night, her world erupts with the revelation that, like her great-grandmother, she has The Gift. But the power to heal isn’t something she can share with the soccer team, her genius little sister, or her boyfriend, Kenji. Definitely not Kenji.

Deep beneath Misty Morning’s tough façade is a lifetime of abandonment, foster homes and broken dreams. When her two-year-old son is abused by her boyfriend, her fragile world shatters…until Shilo prays for Tyler, and he is healed, leaving Misty grateful but incredibly curious.

Shilo can’t give Misty the answers she needs; she only knows she has a God-given destiny, and despite facing strained relationships, impossible decisions, and the threat of being hounded day and night for her abilities, she will fulfill it.

The journey Misty and Shilo take together unites them as friends but invites danger into their lives. And it will take a miracle for these unlikely friends to elude a gang bent on revenge, keep The Gift a secret, trust God in extraordinary circumstances, and hold on to the people they love.

When you grow up on the violent streets of a dying world, the first thing you learn is to mind your own business. So when eighteen-year-old Jacob Walker stumbles across three federal agents torturing an old man by a church, Jake can’t explain why he bothers to rescue the old guy. As he lay dying, the old man makes a strange sign with his hand, and after mumbling something in an ancient language, he slides a ring on Jake’s finger.
What Jake doesn’t know is that he is now the last hope for a group of believers, or Churchers, living outside the dying city. Forces are already massing to destroy the strangely naïve Churchers, and although Jake knows nothing of bishops, gods or churches, any chance that this remnant can survive will depend on The Bishop of 12TH Avenue.
In a post-apocalyptic story of survival, The Bishop of 12TH Avenue tells of an epic battle between good and evil, and a young leader who is still learning the difference.
