Dr. Herman W. Reed gives a humorous account of what it was like to live in the early part of the twentieth century. His book will bring joy to senior citizens as it stimulates their memory bank. Younger people will appreciate learning customs and common terms that are no longer part of our present day vocabulary. Rotary telephones, drive-in theatres, doctors who make house calls, coal furnaces, and families gathered around radios instead of TVs-all of these and much more await readers who will experience either nostalgia or shock as the spirit of a time now past moves them in this highly readable and always interesting memoir.

About the Author
Dr. Herman W. Reed is a 1957 graduate of Pitcairn High School in Pennsylvania. He expected to one day take over his father’s grocery store business; however, God had a different path for his life. In 1965 he graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. One year later he, his wife Charlotte, and their son Adam moved to Franklin/Middletown, Ohio, where he established his practice. Soon afterwards his second son, David, was born.

On September 20, 1968, Dr. Reed accepted Jesus as his personal savior and has since served as a Sunday school teacher, church trustee, and an original member of the first Middletown Christian School Board of Education.

Dr. Reed retired from practice in 2015. Since then, he has enjoyed writing books. His first book A Sinner in the Hands of a Loving God focuses on a miracle that saved his life after doctors gave up all hope for his survival.

Both of Dr. Reed’s books are sure to warm your heart.

The Case Against Atheism: A 21st Century Look at the Holy Spirit, a new book by William A. Ortiz, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

While intellectuals and academics would have you believe that modern science has somehow proved the idea of a divine presence in the universe a human fallacy and that there is no evidence at all to suggest that the universe was created with a purpose, William A. Ortiz argues clearly that the academic establishment and scientific societies pursue an atheist theology with intentional bias and malice. Having now painted themselves into a corner, the establishment sabotages the advancement of both scientific and philosophic understanding by clinging to an outdated and already falsified model of the universe.

Equal parts scientific inquiry, theosophy, and political manifesto, The Case Against Atheism: A 21st Century Look at the Holy Spirit will show the reader true understanding of just how obvious the presence of the divine spirit and the universal will is demonstrated in our everyday lives.

About the Author
Born in 1967 in the Bronx, New York City, William A. Ortiz was, like most Puerto Rican children, baptized in the name of Christ. However, because his mother disagreed with organized religion, he never had to attend any church services or Sunday school. After a short period in New Jersey, William moved to Long Island, and he grew up in a quiet suburban town with his two brothers. He joined the Air Force in 1987. He has been a career manager for different corporations for most of his adult life.

William has two children, Alexander and Skye. He has never ceased to explore the most important and current theories in both science and history and how they reflect upon the current political climate of our world.

The Case Against Atheism: A 21st Century Look at the Holy Spirit is a 42-page paperback with a retail price of $10.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4809-3800-7. It was published by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Dragons, Kings, and the Blazing Slicklizzard Heart Trees, a new book by Lynn A. Dalton, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Dragons, Kings, and the Blazing Slicklizzard Heart Trees is a fast-paced story about a sweet, immature, and unhappy girl who has been mistakenly displaced in modern times when she should be Lady Grace of ancient times. Grace can only get into ancient times through the magical assistance of the Blazing Slicklizzard Heart Tree. The Heart Tree’s help is not free. Each being the Heart Tree assists must have evil in their heart, and the being must pay for the Heart Tree’s assistance by accomplishing blood sacrifices.

Grace is selected to be an apprentice to an evil sorcerer, Belgand the Magnificent, so she may obtain evil in her heart and succeed in her quest to become Lady Grace. During her long journey, Grace finds out that she will eventually become the most feared High Sorceress ever to have lived in ancient times. Grace’s personal battle continues between becoming Lady Grace or remaining the High Sorceress of the Norwesian realm.

To protect the Scindinvian realm, Goldendere the Great creates two Black Magic Draco Ice Dragons. The dragons become the most sought-after method of fighting battle engagements, especially when there is a High Sorcerer or High Sorceress upon their backs.

About the Author:
Author Lynn A. Dalton is from New Bedford, Massachusetts. She has two children, David Angelo (deceased) and Michael Thomas, who are the inspiration for the dragons. Her hobbies include sewing and reading. In particular, Lynn enjoys urban fantasies.

Lynn holds an MBA in Acquisition and Contract Management from the American Graduate University in Covina, California, and a BA in University Studies from Middle Tennessee State University in Murfresboro, Tennessee.

Close Reach Consulting, a management consulting firm for mid-market businesses, has established operations in Orlando Florida.

Based in Atlanta, the firm was founded in 2012 by Dan E. King, with the belief that every organization has the potential to deliver exceptional financial results when performance barriers and inefficiencies are honestly addressed.

King, author of the book The Scorecard Solution…Measure what Matters to Drive Sustainable Growth, helped grow a consumer services company over 700% in six years. With his help, the business made the Inc. Fastest Growing Companies list 4 out of 6 years. That experience helped King appreciate what is required to achieve growth initiatives over multiple years.

Through his book and Close Reach Consulting, King helps executives who desire sustained growth to adopt a proven approach. Not a “quick fix” that fades away. He does this with a singular focus on revenue acceleration, helping business leaders identify and remove the obstacles to high performance.

“Our passion is to create vibrant, win-oriented business environments in which everyone understands the mission,” says King. “Most organizations try to do too much. All of the fragmented activity confuses people and wastes time and money. We challenge the status quo, help clear out the clutter and unleash the potential within the business to over-achieve the growth plan. Our methodology and high-performance tools connect the dots between the vision and results, shortening the distance to the target.”

Orlando was chosen as the site for the next Close Reach Consulting location due to its strong business climate and proximity to other major cities in Florida. From Orlando, the firm can easily service clients in Tampa, Jacksonville and Miami.

“Close Reach Consulting intends to become the preeminent boutique consulting firm for mid-market companies in the Southeast,” adds King.

Happy Tax, the fastest growing tax business according to Entrepreneur Magazine, announces its continued support for the cryptocurrency community. In just over three years, Happy Tax has established itself as a well-known company shaking up a stale industry. Earlier in 2017, the firm started accepting cryptocurrency for franchise fees, the first national franchise company of any kind to embrace this new asset class.

The company has spent much of this year hiring and training CPAs who specialize in tax preparation for the growing number of bitcoin and cryptocurrency traders to staff it’s newly launched CryptoTaxPrep.com division. CryptoTaxPrep.com accepts clients from Happy Tax’s network of over 1,000 franchisees, independent contractors and investors as well as directly from taxpayers needing assistance. The Tax Division’s CPAs not only prepare the tax returns, but also provide accounting for cryptocurrency trades as well as advisory services in an easy to purchase package.

With over five million in the US that have established cryptocurrency accounts to purchase and trade tokens like bitcoin, ethereum, ripple and litecoin, the rise of cryptocurrency traders who need tax assistance is growing rapidly by the day. “There is much confusion and misinformation regarding crypto taxation on the internet and throughout the many crypto groups, forums and discussion boards” said Happy Tax CEO Mario Costanz. “As someone who has been deeply connected within the blockchain and cryptocurrency space for the past two years, I can say that it has progressed to be much more than just hardcore techies and coders. People from all backgrounds have now begun to not only become aware of crypto but also embrace it and trade it.”

The site will accept payment in USD by credit or debit card as well as payment by bitcoin. Costanz has also pledged to do weekly AMAs on the subject throughout the tax season in order to provide free information to those who have questions regarding the capital gains and self-employment laws as they pertain to cryptocurrency. “One key misconception is that crypto only becomes taxable if you withdraw it from an exchange to fiat.” said L. Knox Wimberly, Happy Tax’s Tax Division Director. “Any crypto transaction, even if you use it to buy a cup of coffee, is reportable and, in many cases, a taxable event. The good news is that there are tax planning strategies to legally minimize the amount of taxes that are due from these transactions.”

The IRS recently filed a lawsuit against Coinbase, the US’s largest exchange to receive KYC (Know Your Customer) data on an initial subset of its users and their trades. In asking a federal judge for Coinbase to turn over its users’ account information to the taxing agency, the IRS asserted even though millions had traded cryptocurrency in 2015, only 802 taxpayers included their crypto trades on their tax returns. “This reminds me of what the IRS did with the Swiss banks back in the 2000’s” said Ted Muftic, Happy Tax’s CFO who was an investment banker at the time. “After they successfully sued UBS to get the information of US citizens holding assets in foreign accounts, other Swiss banks offered up the information of their holders. Many people who were evading taxes through offshore accounts were hit with penalties, interest and fines that went back a number of years.”

Cryptocurrency is not anonymous, even when using masking cryptos like Dash or Monero. “I believe the IRS and DOJ will continue aggressively targeting taxpayers who are not reporting their crypto trades on their tax returns.” said Mark Milton, owner of MCM Law LLC, who serves as Happy Tax’s outside counsel and is a former Trial Attorney with the US Department of Justice Tax Division. “As such, it is imperative that taxpayers ensure they are timely and accurately reporting their crypto trades.”

Discounts are available for crypto groups, clubs or forums. Affiliate programs are also available for any companies that would like to offer this to their employees or customers.

ABOUT HAPPY TAX
Now shaking up the $19 billion tax preparation industry, Happy Tax’s disruptive model was born out of frustration with unreliable, under-qualified tax preparers with no licensing or certification and as little as five days of tax training. Happy Tax is designed to bridge the gap between the high quality, pampering, and convenient customer service that consumers want and accurate, reliable, and professional tax returns prepared by CPAs with a minimum of five years of training and experience. Happy Tax offers franchises, independent contractor relationships and Area Representative deals to those wanting to earn additional income and build their own business. Utilizing its patent-pending technology and processes, Happy Tax partners can operate with low overhead and increased flexibility. Happy Tax also owns Opportunity Tax, a brick and mortar franchise as part of Happy Tax Brands.
