Award-Winning Historical Fantasy “Runebound” Invites Readers Into a World Where Destiny and Ancient Power Collide

Alessa M. Norwen’s acclaimed debut novel, Runebound, brings readers into a richly imagined twelfth-century world where faith, family, love, and destiny stand at the edge of profound change. A Literary Titan Gold Book Award winner and recipient of a 5-star rating from Readers’ Favorite and Reedsy Discovery, Runebound is the first book in The Last Rune of Rungardvik series.

Milena of Mecklenburg has been raised to place duty above all else. Born into a Christian court that has turned away from the old gods and promised to a Saxon noble to protect her father’s rule, Milena is expected to obey the path chosen for her. Yet beneath the surface of her world, the remnants of the pagan North still endure.

Haunted by prophetic dreams and guided by an instinct she cannot explain, Milena receives a rune long destined to find her. Its ancient power awakens something within her that belongs to a world older than the one she has been taught to trust. When Norse traders arrive at her father’s court, she is introduced to another way of being and encounters a young warrior whose presence threatens everything her father has built on buried grief, shame, and regret.

To follow her own path, Milena must risk betraying her family, her faith, and the fragile order that holds her world together. Once she begins, there will be no turning back.

Blending grounded historical detail with mythic atmosphere, folkloric power, and a thread of romantic tension, Runebound is a compelling historical fantasy for readers drawn to stories in the tradition of The Bear and the Nightingale and Uprooted. Through a world shaped by the rising Cross and the lingering presence of the old gods, Norwen explores forbidden belief, awakening identity, love, and the cost of choosing one’s own destiny.

With its fusion of Slavic and Norse traditions, emotional stakes, and ancient mystery, Runebound marks the beginning of a powerful new fantasy saga.

Readers can purchase Runebound by Alessa M. Norwen now on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Critics have praised Runebound for its immersive storytelling and evocative prose. Grant Leishman, Readers’ Favorite reviewer and author, called it “the first in what promises to be an enthralling series” and “a wonderful story, beautifully descriptive, with a twisting plot.” Developmental editor and author Cindy Rinaman Marsch noted that “Runebound promises more than a typical tale” and that Norwen “does something special with this first volume.” Thomas Anderson, Editor in Chief at Literary Titan, praised Norwen’s ability to bring the past vividly to life, writing, “Norwen writes history as if it still has breath in its lungs.” Julie Porter of Reedsy Discovery described the novel as “an evocative historical fantasy about a princess and kingdom at the crossroads of great change.”

Award-Winning Historical Debut Unearths the Hidden Strength of Appalachian Women in the 1850s

As the shadows of the Civil War began to stretch across the American landscape, the women of the Blue Ridge Mountains were fighting a quieter, more personal battle for survival and dignity. In her debut novel, The Peacemaker’s Wife, Julie Dorsey delivers a haunting and visceral portrayal of 1850s mountain life, centered on a woman who must navigate a volatile marriage and a changing world.

The novel follows Polly, a self-taught healer and midwife who finds herself caught between her duty to her community and the increasing instability of her husband. Set against the backdrop of North Carolina’s rugged frontier, the story explores the “Peacemaker” tradition—a local custom where respected men settled disputes outside of the law. However, for Polly, the greatest conflict lies within the walls of her own cabin.

This book captures the sheer grit required to live in the Blue Ridge during this era. It shows a world where a woman’s worth was often measured by her endurance, but Polly’s story is about more than just surviving; it is about the quest for literacy, the calling of medicine, and the refusal to let one’s spirit be extinguished.

With rich historical detail, from the scent of honeysuckle and woodsmoke to the complexities of 19th-century herbalism, The Peacemaker’s Wife is a testament to the resilience of the human heart. It is a story for readers of historical fiction who crave authenticity, emotional depth, and a glimpse into a vanished way of life.

Author Julie Dorsey Reclaims Family Legacy in Award-Winning Historical Novel ‘The Peacemaker’s Wife’

For Julie Dorsey, the history of the Blue Ridge Mountains is not just a subject of study. Instead, it is a matter of blood. In her new novel, The Peacemaker’s Wife, the former advertising copywriter and public relations specialist turns her professional lens toward her own ancestry to tell a story inspired by her great-great-grandmother, a pioneer doctor named Polly King Justice.

The novel has already garnered significant attention from the literary community, winning awards from the Historical Novel Society and Killer Nashville, and receiving praise from editors at major publishing houses. Dorsey, who lives in the very mountains her ancestors settled over 200 years ago, spent a decade crafting the narrative to ensure it honored the reality of the 1850s frontier.

Dorsey’s background in communication shines through in the novel’s clear and evocative prose. Her unique perspective as a resident of the Blue Ridge allows her to describe the landscape with a level of intimacy that few authors can achieve. The book also touches on deeply personal themes of resilience, reflecting Dorsey’s own experiences as a mother and a dedicated writer.

If you are drawn to historical fiction that touches more than just history, you will certainly love this book. With its rich storyline, a great deal of history, themes, and whatnot, this book will keep you glued to your seats.

Dato’ Sri Liow Soon Hee Secures Exclusive Master Franchise for Que Tang Yu Fang in Malaysia

ASEAN’s First AI Traditional Chinese Medicine Wellness Teahouse Grand Opening

KUALA LUMPUR – A major collaboration has emerged in the ASEAN health and modern tea beverage sector. Dato’ Sri Liow Soon Hee officially announced the successful acquisition of the exclusive master franchise rights for Malaysia for “Que Tang Yu Fang” , a leading brand in China’s digital and intelligent Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The first store has grandly opened at the premium Pavilion Bukit Jalil shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur, attracting a large number of political and business dignitaries, as well as health industry experts, to witness this historic moment. With its unique experience of “AI intelligent diagnosis (observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking)” and “personalized regimen,” Que Tang Yu Fang garnered widespread attention immediately after its opening, rapidly becoming a landmark that leads the new local trend of “Technology + TCM + Wellness.”

Originating from China’s Digital TCM Giant, with Profound Brand Heritage and Solid Foundation

Que Tang Yu Fang is affiliated with Nanjing Dajing TCM (Nanjing Dajing Traditional Chinese Medicine Information Technology Co., Ltd.), a leading enterprise in China’s digital and intelligent TCM sector. Dajing TCM has been deeply involved in China’s serious medical field of TCM for many years. Its TCM clinical intelligent auxiliary diagnosis and treatment system holds a commanding market share in China, having established deep collaborations with over 60 tertiary hospitals and more than 12,000 primary healthcare institutions, and has built a large database containing over 5,000 TCM wellness classics. Que Tang Yu Fang is the core layout of Dajing TCM applying this profound technological accumulation to the field of “lifestyle TCM.”

The brand name carries a profound meaning: “The Tea Sage Lu Yu is in the Yu Fang, and the Medical Ancestor Bian Que is in the Que Tang,” perfectly integrating the source of Chinese tea culture with the wisdom of the medical ancestor of TCM. The brand has only one mission: “To enable every consumer to drink a truly symptomatic herbal tea.” Que Tang Yu Fang provides not only tea beverages but also a digital and intelligent TCM lifestyle space that integrates “offline TCM health management + online internet specific disease conditioning.” Since its grand opening in Nanjing in April 2024, the brand has rapidly expanded in mainland China, currently opening stores in multiple cities such as Nanjing, Yangzhou, and Xi’an, and has set a long-term goal of launching 6,000 stores globally. Malaysia is its first step outside of China and a strategic springboard for its globalization strategy.

AI Diagnosis and Personalized Regimen, Making TCM Wellness Tea Symptomatic and Delicious

The core innovation of Que Tang Yu Fang lies in the application of AI technology to the entire process of TCM diagnosis. Upon arrival, customers first have their tongue image captured by an intelligent tongue and facial diagnosis instrument, combined with the input of their personal daily routine information, and finally use an intelligent spinal diagnosis instrument for scientific pulse-taking. The system comprehensively simulates the four TCM diagnostic methods through AI, accurately identifies the constitution type, and intelligently recommends symptomatic tea beverages from a patented TCM formula database, realizing a true “personalized regimen.”

The beverages are divided into four main categories: “Constitution Tea” targeting seven biased constitutions such as yang deficiency, yin deficiency, and phlegm-dampness; “Symptom Tea” meeting daily needs such as refreshing, hair nourishing, and sleep improvement; “Four Seasons Tea” specially made according to the change of seasons; and carefully selected TCM herbal pastes. Taking the “Ginseng and Mango Energy Tea” as an example, the main ingredients include ginseng, mango, and longan meat. Every beverage lists the medicinal and edible homologous ingredients in detail, perfectly blending medicinal efficacy with taste.

To thoroughly solve the pain point of traditional TCM beverages being “bitter and hard to swallow,” Que Tang Yu Fang adopts a multi-stage biological extraction process that meets the standards of international big brands. It precisely sets the extraction temperature and time for different herbal medicines, maximizing the removal of bitterness while fully retaining the medicinal ingredients, and then pairs it with natural yellow rock sugar boiled fresh daily, making the TCM wellness tea both symptomatic and delicious, which is deeply sought after by young consumers.

Gathering of VIPs from All Walks of Life to Witness, Grand Opening Attracts Widespread Attention

The opening location is at Pavilion Bukit Jalil in Kuala Lumpur, which is the first flagship store of Que Tang Yu Fang opened in ASEAN. The opening day was filled with auspiciousness, with lion dance performances taking the stage, attracting a large number of political and business dignitaries and health industry experts to the scene. VIPs attending the grand opening ceremony included: Chairman of the International Strategic Institute Dato Gavin Voon, senior osteopathic physician and partner Dr. Davis Wong, General Manager of the China Head Office Yang Chu Hui, President of the Malaysia-China Silk Road Business Chamber Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Ong Tee Keat, and member of the Johor Royal Family and CEO of Southern Dagang Group Ungku Raad Azeraai Bin Ungku Mohd Najib. The attendance of distinguished guests fully demonstrated the high attention and expectation from all sectors for this collaboration.

Awarded Authoritative ASEAN Records Certification, First Month Revenue Exceeds RM 500,000

On the opening day, Que Tang Yu Fang received an authoritative certificate officially issued by ASEAN Records, being formally certified as “ASEAN’s First Chinese-style Tea Beverage Chain Integrating AI Health Testing.” This international authoritative certification marks that Que Tang Yu Fang’s pioneering position in integrating TCM tradition with cutting-edge technology has been highly recognized by the ASEAN market. The response after the opening of the first store was enthusiastic, with single-month revenue exceeding RM 500,000, fully validating the market’s high recognition of this model.

Blueprint for 25 Locations Across Malaysia, Strategizing the ASEAN Health Market

At the recent Que Tang Yu Fang Malaysia Layout Business Briefing, the event attracted over 500 political and business dignitaries, health industry experts, and potential franchisees. The team officially announced that it will deploy and launch 25 physical locations across Malaysia, and plans to achieve comprehensive leadership in brand awareness, market share, and number of stores within 3 years.

Looking ahead, Que Tang Yu Fang will use Malaysia as a strategic springboard to further radiate to Indonesia and other ASEAN countries, bringing the innovative model of “Digital and Intelligent TCM + Wellness Tea Beverage” into the broader ASEAN market, and ultimately realizing the long-term blueprint of launching 6,000 stores globally. Making “a cup of wellness tea in everyone’s hand” a new modern lifestyle trend that integrates health, technology, and traditional culture.

Author Nicole Manahan Bridges the “Representation Gap” for Blended Families in New Children’s Literature

Did you know that research shows that children thrive when they see their own family structures reflected in the stories they read? Yet, many children’s books still lean heavily on traditional biological narratives and present many subjects in an assertive light, such as stepparenting.

Today, author and educator Nicole Manahan addresses this gap with the release of I Love You Like You’re Mine, a book specifically crafted to validate the experiences of step-families, adoptive families, and guardians.

I Love You Like You’re Mine shifts the focus from how a family is formed to how a family is maintained. By highlighting the “mommy moments” that occur every day, this book ensures a child will bond with their parent. Through everyday moments such as eating their vegetables, cheering from the sidelines of a game, and snuggling on the sofa, Manahan’s book illustrates that the “work” of parenting is what creates the “soul” of a parent.

The book is particularly relevant for educators and counselors looking to foster inclusive environments, those who want every child to walk into a classroom or a library and feel like their home life is normal.This book is a tool for those conversations, helping children understand that love is built through consistency and care.

The dedication of the book to Manahan’s own children Kaitlyn, Shaylee, and Riley underscores the personal authenticity behind the prose. It is a testament to the fact that being a “mom first” is a choice made every single day.

Available on Amazon & Other Leading Book Stores for purchase: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H4BRTFPH/

About the Author:

Nicole Manahan has been married to her husband Patrick Manahan for 18 years. They live in Edon, Ohio, with their son Nolan. He is the youngest of the 4 children and the only one they have together. The older 3 children are Nicole’s “step” children. Kaitlyn and her husband Brandt live in Edon, with 2 of their grandchildren, Beckett and Bodie. Shaylee and her husband Will live in the Columbus area with 2 more grandsons, Pierceson and Xavier. Riley lives in Toledo with his fiancée Kate. Kaitlyn, Shaylee, and Riley were the inspiration for this story.

Karen Powell, Founder of My Wealth 4 Life, Interviewed on the Influential Entrepreneurs Podcast, Discussing Tax Efficient Strategies for Lasting Wealth

Karen Powell discusses tax-efficient strategies for lasting wealth

Listen to the interview on the Business Innovators Radio Network: https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/interview-with-karen-powell-founder-of-my-wealth-4-life-discussing-tax-efficient-strategies-for-lasting-wealth/

Karen shared a wealth of knowledge on various tax-efficient strategies, starting with retirement planning and the importance of maximizing tax-free strategies. Highlighted the benefits of converting tax-deferred funds into a Roth IRA and utilizing the backdoor Roth IRA method. Karen emphasized the significance of being aware of these opportunities to avoid unnecessary tax burdens.

Maximizing Tax-Efficient Wealth Strategies

In today’s financial landscape, the pursuit of lasting wealth requires not only a focus on income generation, but also a keen understanding of tax-efficient strategies. As highlighted in a recent podcast episode featuring Karen Powell, founder of My Wealth for Life, the importance of implementing tax-efficient wealth strategies cannot be overstated, particularly for medical professionals and entrepreneurs who often find themselves navigating complex financial waters. This essay delves into the key strategies discussed in the podcast, emphasizing the necessity of maximizing tax efficiency to preserve and grow wealth over time.

Understanding Tax Efficiency

Tax efficiency refers to the practice of structuring investments and financial decisions to minimize tax liabilities while maximizing after-tax returns. For individuals with substantial wealth, the implications of tax efficiency can be profound. High-income earners face the potential for increased tax rates, especially in a climate of rising national debt and fiscal uncertainty. Therefore, it is crucial for these individuals to be aware of the various strategies available to them that can help mitigate their tax burdens.

Retirement Planning and Roth IRA Conversion

One of the foundational strategies discussed by Karen Powell is retirement planning, particularly the use of tax-advantaged accounts like the Roth IRA. Unlike traditional IRAs, contributions to a Roth IRA are made with after-tax dollars, allowing for tax-free growth and withdrawals in retirement. For high-income earners, the ability to convert tax-deferred funds into a Roth IRA presents a significant opportunity. Powell emphasizes the importance of taking advantage of the “backdoor Roth” strategy, which allows individuals to contribute to a taxable IRA and then convert those funds to a Roth IRA. This strategy not only provides tax-free growth but also shields assets from future tax increases.

Real Estate Investments

Real estate is another avenue for achieving tax efficiency. Investing in real estate offers numerous tax deductions and write-offs, making it an attractive option for wealth preservation. By leveraging these deductions, individuals can reduce their taxable income while benefiting from the appreciation of their real estate assets. Furthermore, certain specialized investments allow investors to defer taxes on capital gains, provided they are willing to commit their funds for an extended period. This deferral can result in significant tax savings, especially during years with substantial taxable events.

Estate Planning and Gifting Strategies

Effective estate planning is essential for maintaining wealth across generations. Powell underscores the necessity of having a robust estate plan, which includes instruments like revocable trusts. While some may perceive trusts as tools for tax avoidance, they primarily serve to streamline the transfer of assets and avoid the complications associated with probate. Moreover, charitable gifting strategies can provide both tax benefits and a means to support causes that individuals care about. The annual gifting limit, which allows individuals to gift up to $19,000 to any recipient without affecting their lifetime gifting exemption, presents a valuable opportunity to transfer wealth to heirs while minimizing tax implications. This strategy not only benefits the recipient but also allows the giver to reduce their taxable estate.

Conclusion

Maximizing tax-efficient wealth strategies is a critical component of financial planning for high-income individuals, especially medical professionals and entrepreneurs. By leveraging retirement accounts, engaging in real estate investments, and implementing effective estate planning and gifting strategies, individuals can significantly enhance their financial outcomes. As Karen Powell articulates in the podcast, many individuals remain unaware of the opportunities available to them, underscoring the importance of education and proactive financial management. In a world where tax rates are likely to rise, adopting these strategies is not merely advantageous; it is essential for anyone seeking to preserve and grow their wealth for generations to come.

Karen explained: “In our tax law, we don’t have limitations on wealthy people to have a Roth IRA or to convert to a Roth IRA or the other avenue that we use today as the backdoor Roth, which I won’t go into great detail, but you can make a contribution to what I call a taxable IRA and then immediately convert over.”

Here is a New Book That Redefines Motherhood And Love

Author Nicole Manahan announces the release of her latest children’s book, I Love You Like You’re Mine, a moving tribute to the “parents of the heart” who raise children they did not biologically bear. At a time when blended families and non-traditional households are becoming the modern standard, Manahan’s book provides a much-needed narrative that celebrates the emotional bond over the biological one.

The story follows a mother who “dives right in” to the role of parenting, embracing the daily rhythms of child-rearing with enthusiasm and grace. From family dinners and baseball games to the quiet intimacy of bedtime tuck-ins, the book highlights that a parent doesn’t need to witness a child’s first crawl to be the person who shapes their world. Manahan, a professional in the publishing industry and an educator, wrote the story to honor the depth of love found in step-parenting and guardianship.

Motherhood is often defined by the beginning, be it by birth and infancy. But for so many of us, motherhood began in the ‘middle.’ This book is for every woman who stepped into a child’s life and realized that her heart was full, even if she wasn’t there for the start.

With its rhythmic, rhyming text and warm illustrations, I Love You Like You’re Mine is designed to be a staple for bedtime routines. It serves as both a mirror for children in blended families to see their lives validated and a tool for parents to express the magnitude of their devotion.
