“I’ve been involved with WCTF since the mid 80s and was intrigued by the kind of charity this was. Supporting causes for kids and animals are my two favorites and at the time I went to a fashion show and that’s where I met Mark Kroeker who was speaking. For a few years I held a motorcycle charity ride here in Los Angeles to raise money for WCTF, and I’ve been a spokesperson for many years. I’ve been so fortunate to give back to causes that are worthwhile where people’s lives are directly affected by the donations that people make. Through the foundation dinners we’ve had over the years, I’ve also been able to meet some of the young people whose lives have been saved because of WCTF. And it’s real life when you meet a child that is directly affected by the work that Mark and the charity does and it’s so satisfying and fulfilling, and I love that.”
MarkKroeker,FormerLAPDDeputyChiefandFounderoftheWCTFStated:
“For more than 35 years the World Children’s Transplant Fund has been eagerly assisting to improve the opportunities for children to have lifesaving organ transplants by training surgeons and teams, providing technology where needed and supporting organ donor awareness around the world including right here in the USA.
The World Children’s Transplant Fund (WCTF): Since it was launched 35 years ago, the WCTF has been helping children and transplant surgeons around the world, in such countries as Argentina, Mexico, Nicaragua, the Philippines, Costa Rica, Uzbekistan, Armenia. Poland and right here in the USA. Hundreds of children are alive today because of the relentless efforts of the WCTF. For more information, or to make a contribution visit https://www.wctf.org/

Transfigured to Serve Imagines the End Times From a View Beyond the Rapture
New York City, NYDavid Lee Brown follows a Christian man’s journey through heaven, the millennial reign, and a new earth in a story inspired by biblical prophecy.
David Lee Brown follows a Christian man's journey through heaven, the millennial reign, and a new earth in a story inspired by biblical prophecy.
New York City, NY
David Lee Brown approaches biblical end times fiction from a different perspective in Transfigured to Serve: A Glimpse of Eternity. Centered on the fictional life of Christian protagonist Samuel Gideon, the novel imagines his experiences before, during, and after the rapture, then follows his service in heaven and the events leading toward Christ’s millennial reign. Drawing inspiration from scriptural prophecy, Brown creates a sweeping narrative intended to give Christian fiction readers an imaginative view of eternity, service, judgment, and the fulfillment of events described in the Bible.

Samuel’s journey provides the foundation for Transfigured to Serve: A Glimpse of Eternity. Readers follow him as he prepares for the Lord’s return and enters a transformed existence beyond earthly life. The narrative then moves into his experiences and responsibilities in heaven before envisioning Christ’s return to earth alongside saints and angels. Brown expands the story across the thousand-year reign, examining Samuel’s continuing service while also turning attention toward those who remained on earth and the generations that follow them.
Brown was motivated by what he saw as an opportunity to tell an end times story from a less frequently explored point of view. While many fictional treatments of the tribulation concentrate on people left behind, Transfigured to Serve: A Glimpse of Eternity focuses substantially on those who have gone to heaven. That shift allows Brown to imagine what service, purpose, and participation in prophetic events could look like from Samuel’s perspective. The novel is presented as Christian fiction rather than a literal account, using biblical prophecy as the foundation for its speculative vision.
The story ultimately moves toward the final conflict described within its scriptural framework. Brown imagines Satan’s release, the corruption that follows, the final battle for earth, and the destruction of the existing world before turning toward the promise of a new heaven and new earth. Transfigured to Serve: A Glimpse of Eternity also envisions the grandeur of the New Jerusalem as the final dwelling place of God, the saints, and the angels. These scenes give readers interested in biblical prophecy an expansive fictional interpretation of events associated with the culmination of history.
With Transfigured to Serve: A Glimpse of Eternity, David Lee Brown combines Christian fiction with an imaginative exploration of prophetic scripture, shifting attention from survival during the tribulation to service beyond the rapture. Through Samuel Gideon’s journey, Brown invites readers to consider questions about eternity, purpose, Christ’s return, and the ultimate renewal of creation. His stated hope is that readers will enjoy the story while gaining a fresh perspective on biblical end times themes and the possibilities he imagines beyond earthly life.

North Carolina Author Gayle M. Marshall Turns Life Experience Into Mysteries and Stories for All Ages
New York City, NYA life of creativity and resilience inspires books for children and adults.
A life of creativity and resilience inspires books for children and adults.
New York City, NY
Author, artist, and craftsperson Gayle M. Marshall has turned a lifetime of family memories, artistic work, animal adventures, and personal challenges into books for children and adults. Her growing body of work includes warmhearted animal stories, books rooted in her Native American heritage, and mysteries built around old places, hidden objects, and long-kept secrets.

Marshall lives on a small farm in North Carolina with her husband, Mike. An elder of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, she dances at powwows and creates Native American crafts, including walking sticks and rattles. She also paints, works with wood, and designs one-of-a-kind fedora and western hats with a wood burner. Her home reflects the same imagination: she painted the life-size jungle animals that decorate nearly half of it.
Her creative life has never followed a conventional timetable. At age 60, Marshall earned an associate degree, made the Dean’s List, and completed her studies with a 4.0 grade-point average. Five years later, while working full time and nearing completion of a bachelor’s degree, she was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. The diagnosis changed her plans, but it did not lessen her need to create.
Marshall began writing seriously while supporting her best friend, Alyce, through years of breast cancer treatment. Writing gave her a constructive place to direct her attention through appointments, treatments, and uncertainty.
Her first book, Chronicles From the Funny Farm, grew from the many unusual animals she had known. The Beat of the Drum followed, inspired by her heritage. She later created the five-book children’s collection, The Magic Is Still Here series, using the names of some of her great-grandchildren for animal characters.
Mystery writing soon became another outlet for her imagination. Marshall is drawn to forgotten cemeteries, abandoned buildings, antiques, family secrets, hidden rooms, and letters from the past. Her mystery projects include Echoes From the Past: The Mystery of Whitaker Farm, Train to Yesterday, The Forgotten Cemetery, and The Secret Found at the Estate Sale. Her stories emphasize characters, relationships, clues, and suspense rather than graphic violence.
In The Secret Found at the Estate Sale, Marsha is learning to live after the death of her husband of 43 years. Friends persuade her to join them at an estate sale, where she buys an old Victorian writing desk. While cleaning it several days later, she finds something hidden inside that leads the group into the unresolved story of a teenage girl who disappeared years before.
Friendship remains central to Marshall’s life and fiction. She recently returned to Michigan for a class reunion and reconnected with friends she has known since grade school. Her friendship with Alyce also appears in her work: in one story, Marshall gave the main character her own middle name, Margaret, and the character’s best friend Alyce’s middle name, Faye.
After Alyce died on May 22, 2026, and cancer again touched Marshall’s immediate family, writing continued to provide focus during grief and uncertainty.
“I think one of the most important things my own life has taught me is that you are never too old to learn something new or discover something you love,” Marshall said. “I hope my story might encourage someone else who thinks it is too late to begin something new.”
Marshall continues to write stories shaped by small-town history, multigenerational relationships, family, friendship, heritage, and memory. For her, each new story begins with a simple question: What if an ordinary discovery revealed something extraordinary?
Gayle M. Marshall is a North Carolina author, artist, and craftsperson whose books include mysteries, children’s stories, and work inspired by animals and Native American heritage. She lives on a small farm with her husband, Mike, and draws creative inspiration from family, lifelong friendships, handmade art, local history, and the unexpected stories hidden in everyday life.

Where Monsters Dwell Examines the Darkest Extremes of Crime and Human Behavior
New York City, NYKenneth Passan explores serious crime through a criminological lens, examining violence, control, terrorism, hatred, and unsettling human behavior.
Kenneth Passan explores serious crime through a criminological lens, examining violence, control, terrorism, hatred, and unsettling human behavior.
New York City, NY
Kenneth Passan examines some of the darkest dimensions of criminal behavior in WHERE MONSTERS DWELL: A Criminological Perspective, a nonfiction work exploring causes and potential contributing factors behind serious crimes.

Drawing readers into subjects ranging from extreme violence to deception, power, and control, Passan approaches disturbing behavior through a criminological framework.
The book also ventures into controversial territory involving spiritualism, witchcraft, hauntings, and possession, creating an unusual intersection between crime analysis and subjects traditionally associated with the paranormal.
Throughout WHERE MONSTERS DWELL: A Criminological Perspective, Passan considers true cases involving crimes marked by extreme and unnecessary violence while broadening the discussion to other threats confronting individuals and societies.
Among the subjects examined are crimes of deception, home invasions, hate crimes, racism, terrorism, and the possibility of nuclear terrorism.
The book also considers human behavior in the aftermath of a hypothetical global apocalyptic event, extending its central inquiry beyond individual offenses to questions about how people and societies might respond when familiar structures of order are severely disrupted.
Passan’s interest in dark subject matter is informed by a longstanding fascination with horror, storytelling, and paranormal research.
That background provides context for the book’s willingness to examine unsettling subjects alongside criminological questions.
Rather than limiting the discussion to a single category of offender or offense, WHERE MONSTERS DWELL: A Criminological Perspective moves across different manifestations of violence, manipulation, hatred, fear, and social instability.
The result is an exploration of the forces and circumstances that Passan believes warrant consideration when attempting to understand destructive human conduct.
The book is intended for adult readers interested in criminology, serious crime, human behavior, and darker or unconventional subject matter.
WHERE MONSTERS DWELL: A Criminological Perspective encourages readers to consider how motivations such as power, control, prejudice, and deception can appear across very different forms of criminal activity.
Its range of topics also raises broader questions about vulnerability, social breakdown, and the potential consequences of extreme behavior, giving readers multiple avenues for considering why individuals commit acts that can appear incomprehensible from the outside.
With WHERE MONSTERS DWELL: A Criminological Perspective, Passan brings together criminological inquiry and his interest in disturbing aspects of human experience.
The book does not confine its examination of danger to one setting; instead, it moves from individual violent crimes to terrorism and imagined large-scale catastrophe.
By addressing both documented criminal cases and broader questions about behavior under extreme conditions, Passan offers readers a wide-ranging examination of humanity’s darker impulses and the difficult questions that emerge when violence, fear, hatred, and the pursuit of control reach their most destructive forms.
