  “Offers a glimpse into Salem’s complex, haunted history—murders, hangings, corruption—and provides a handful of ghostly tales.” —Statesman Journal   Salem’s haunted tales date back to the 1830s, when indigenous tribes, trappers and homesteaders shared the lush Willamette Valley. Murders, hangings and dark underground passageways defined the city’s early days as the Willamette River moved old stern-wheelers up to the city’s docks. Today, the sounds of those phantom vessels can be heard plying along the river late at night. Oregon’s capital city has long been the site of mental hospitals, prisons and other notorious institutions, famously depicted in the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. The residual effects of decades of torture and depravity cling to the old facilities in both sight and sound. Author Tim King examines many of these chilling encounters along with eyewitness accounts of spirits that refuse to be quiet.  “Tim King’s new book takes readers to the far west, investigating the hauntings and other supernatural and inexplicable occurrences still going on in Salem, Oregon, putting that city in the same category as old Salem, Mass. . . . A good read for Halloween or, for that matter, any other time of year when one is tempted to learn more about those strange occurrences that defy the laws of science and nature, and challenge our inner complacency.” —Salem-News.com

This writer knows especially well about this and it is a decision that should not be made lightly and simply isn't easy to do in the first place.

It doesn't matter how young or old you are, you can still make a career choice that can make you happy and enhance your life even if it's a drastic one! With all the different occupations to choose from, where do you even begin to find something that you will be good at doing and love doing as well? 
  The truth is, all you have to do is look at yourself and inside yourself to see where you should be. Plenty of people have made career changes late in life. Many professional athletes HAVE to make career choices once they are no longer able to play sports at a level they always have been able to. Stay-at-home moms with children in school suddenly find themselves wanting to do something worthwhile instead of staying home all day. Some of them have even built hobbies into multi-millionaire businesses! t happens all the time and for a variety of different reasons. 
  The world's business economy is volatile at the very least and many companies have to lay off workers or close the business entirely. That leaves displaced worked facing career moves they hadn't anticipated. In fact, the reality is that the average person will make 2 to 5 career changes between the time they enter the work force to the time when they retire. Many colleges have displaced workers programs and adult education programs that can ease people into a career change. Sometimes, however, the best way to make a career change is just to jump in and do it. But how do you know what career to choose? That's why you're reading this book.

  From No. 1 best selling Self-Help, Counselling and Travel author Pearl Howie – the audiobook of her mini-guide to Phoenix, Arizona.There’s a reason this place is called Phoenix.  We talk about awakening, awareness and other terms in healing, they’ve become quite the buzz words (along with “woke,”) but, for me, what I would call my awakening was a momentary death of ego and a rebirth of mind, body and spirit.Was it the firewalk, the driving, the teachers I met along the way?  …or just the Native American ritual in a world class spa?  I’ve experienced so many types of healing - all I know is that what works for one person is wrong for another.  Every body is different.Although I started writing these mini-guides to share the hotel, spa and the rest, the retreat in a box I dreamt of when I first began Pearl Escapes, they are also just stories ...for the unadventurous adventurer, as well as the keen explorer, we each have our own way of experiencing life.From the Amazon Best Selling author of the "Camino de la Luna" series and the Pearl Escapes guides."You will come away feeling as if she was sharing with you personally and will want to read more of her life adventures.”“I’ve just booked my first holiday in 13 years!”"To me, you are a hero... You have learned to take something negative in your life and make it a positive... a gift to others. It doesn't get any better than that. Don't doubt that you are capable of helping others... in terms of other of life's difficulties... What an adventure!"  Susan Jeffers, Ph.D., author of "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway"Not small, just travel size.
