NEW YORK – March 21, 2017 – Morgan James’s new release, Curtis Gets Ready To Dream: A Bedtime Story to Guide your Child to Sleep by Catrina Stiller encourages interactive storytelling to help children fall asleep.

Bedtime is one of the most important parts of the day. Settling down into a healthy sleep sets one up for a successful tomorrow. Children, especially, need proper sleep to grow and develop…no matter how much they may fight it. Curtis Gets Ready to Dream is a unique bedtime story that incorporates sleep strategies used by psychologists to train children to fall asleep.

Bedtime is a challenge for puppy Curtis and his mother. Curtis’s mother, however, is prepared for the challenge. She establishes a routine that, when followed, earns Curtis treats. Curtis is also encouraged to employ progressive muscle relaxation to help him unwind. Children reading the book are encouraged to “play” along and drift into their own healthy sleep.

Caretakers of young children will find Curtis Gets Ready to Dream an indispensable resource with themes of self-reliance. Stiller helps kids learn not only healthy sleep habits, but also body and mind awareness which will help them combat stress for years to come.

NEW YORK—March 14, 2017—Morgan James’s new book release, Hell Bent Heaven Bound: One Woman’s Journey from the Drug House to the King’s House by Shawntá Pulliam recounts Pulliam’s journey from breakdown to breakthrough that led her to find the gift God had planted down inside her.

Pulliam grew up in a neighborhood where drugs and prostitution coexisted alongside a gospel-preaching old woman named Sister Lou. Pulliam saw the futility of the life around her and knew she was destined for something more, something great. Driven by faith, she saw God open door after door of opportunity for her.  This led her to founding Nurturing Hearts for at-risk girls ages ten to eighteen.

Pulliam reminds readers that God uses those parts of ourselves that are disliked the most and breathes purpose  into them.  Part memoir, part inspirational teaching, Hell Bent Heaven Bound is filled with valuable takeaways for people from all walks of life. Pulliam rose from her struggle with mental illness to become a life coach, inspirational speaker, founder of a non-profit and now published  author. As such, Hell Bent Heaven Bound is an uplifting guide for anyone looking for spiritual healing. It helps readers find purpose in their struggles and redirect that purpose back to God.
