Author Herb Brewer Brings the Grit and Glory of Marine Corps Boot Camp to Life

Author Herb Brewer Brings the Grit and Glory of Marine Corps Boot Camp to Life

Military fiction takes on a raw and unforgettable edge in Marine Recruit: Tears in the Sand, the powerful new novel from U.S. Marine Corps veteran and author, Herb Brewer. Drawing from his 27 years of service, including two tours as a drill instructor, Brewer offers readers a gripping, unvarnished, and at times darkly humorous look at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD) in San Diego—a place where legends are forged, and recruits are reborn.

This unflinching narrative splits its perspective between the weary-eyed recruit and the towering figure of the drill instructor, immersing readers in the dual struggles of becoming, and making, a United States Marine. With authenticity only a Marine of Brewer’s caliber could deliver, the book stands as both a tribute and a testament to the blood, sweat, and tears it takes to earn the title.

“A rare and unparalleled look into MCRD… Marine Recruit is a must-read.” — Pacific Book Review

Now adapted into the short film Silent Valor — which sheds light on the lives and sacrifices of American veterans—this story is a movement to honor and understand the journey of service members past and present. Watch the film here: Silent Valor on YouTube

Best-Selling Author David Stewart Handelman Unveils New Thrillers at the L.A. Times Festival of Books

Acclaimed author David Stewart Handelman returns with not one, but three electrifying new titles that promise to enthrall fans of suspense, drama, and high-stakes storytelling. The mastermind behind beloved poetry collections Sentiments, Notes from a Quill, Between Spirit and Substance, and Words in Rhythm is making a bold move into fiction with The Assassin’s Wife, The Gravel Road, and The Night Firefly. These new releases join a growing body of work that spans genres and themes, including his earlier novels Bullets to Harm, Bullets to Heal, Fragments of Forever, and Funerals Are for the Dead, as well as the soon-to-be-released A Walk Through Forever—set to launch in June 2025.

Each title showcases Handelman’s signature narrative depth while offering thrilling new settings, unforgettable characters, and gripping plots that demand attention:

The Assassin’s Wife sets the stage aboard a glamorous New Year’s Eve cruise in the Caribbean, where beneath the glittering lights and jazz melodies, secrets stir and tensions simmer. A celebration of opulence turns deadly, revealing that in a sea of high society, not everyone is who they seem.

The Gravel Road is a haunting journey into loss, identity, and redemption. Jonah Knight, once a boy with nothing, is molded into a master of one of the world’s most dangerous professions. With grit, heart, and unrelenting determination, he confronts enemies, uncovers betrayal, and risks everything to reclaim what was once his.

The Night Firefly brings a slow-burning, urban noir thriller to life, with New York as its dark, dangerous backdrop. When tragedy forces Samantha Gaines to trade suburbia for the shadows, she transforms into a merciless vigilante. With her two closest friends by her side—and their own secrets in tow—Samantha’s descent into the criminal underworld may be the city’s last hope, or its final reckoning.

“Writing has rescued me in my loneliest moments,” says Handelman. “These stories are extensions of that journey—filled with raw emotion, fierce characters, and the pulse of life itself.”

DIVEVOLK Launches Coral Reef Restoration Initiative in Honor of Earth Day

In celebration of Earth Day, DIVEVOLK, the pioneer of the world’s first full touchscreen underwater smartphone housing, is taking its environmental mission beneath the waves with the launch of a hands-on coral reef restoration initiative. As climate change and pollution continue to threaten the world’s marine ecosystems, DIVEVOLK is stepping up its conservation efforts through direct action, partnering with local marine organizations to rehabilitate damaged reefs and raise awareness of ocean health.

DIVEVOLK in Action: Nurturing an “Underwater Garden”

Visual evidence captured from project sites reveals an inspiring “underwater garden” taking shape.

Small coral fragments are meticulously attached to specially prepared underwater structures, resembling terrestrial nurseries where seedlings are cultivated with care. This practice, often called ‘coral gardening’ or ‘microfragmentation,’ is a critical technique in reef restoration.

Healthy coral pieces, sometimes naturally fragmented by waves or storms, are collected and allowed to grow in these controlled, safer environments. This significantly boosts their survival rates, preparing them for eventual outplanting to bolster damaged reefs or enhance existing reef resilience.

Clearly visible on tags attached to these growing corals is the DIVEVOLK name – tangible proof of the company’s direct support and active participation in this crucial conservation work. For DIVEVOLK, environmental commitment goes beyond words; it translates into visible, hands-on involvement where it matters most – beneath the waves.

Caption: A coral fragment bearing a DIVEVOLK tag thrives in an underwater nursery, part of a restoration project actively supported by the company.

DIVEVOLK is proud to contribute alongside researchers, diving communities, dedicated volunteers and other stakeholders working towards the common goal of healthier oceans. Every coral fragment bearing the DIVEVOLK tag and thriving in underwater nurseries is more than a symbol—it is a living contribution to the recovery of marine biodiversity. These restored corals help rebuild damaged reef structures, support the return of marine life, and strengthen ecosystem resilience against future threats. Through these efforts, DIVEVOLK is not only supporting conservation in theory, but delivering measurable, lasting value to the health of our oceans.

From Recording Beauty to Protecting It: DIVEVOLK’s Environmental Commitment

DIVEVOLK’s core mission involves breaking down barriers between people and the underwater world. Easy-to-use yet powerful tools, like the revolutionary SeaTouch 4 Max full-touchscreen housing, empower anyone with a smartphone to capture and share the ocean’s wonders with unprecedented ease and quality. We firmly believe that ‘seeing’ is the first step towards caring. When individuals can personally witness and easily document the vibrant beauty of a healthy reef, or conversely, the stark reality of coral bleaching, a powerful emotional connection is forged. This firsthand experience is often the catalyst that transforms passive appreciation into an active desire to protect what they have come to love.

This ability to capture and share real, unfiltered moments from beneath the waves transforms DIVEVOLK users into more than explorers—they become ‘Citizen Ocean Advocates.’ By witnessing firsthand the vibrant life of healthy reefs or the stark reality of coral bleaching, users forge a powerful emotional connection to the marine world. These experiences, captured and shared globally, ignite awareness, foster empathy, and inspire action among wider communities. This spirit of advocacy is deeply woven into DIVEVOLK’s DNA. Over the years, DIVEVOLK has consistently participated in a wide range of environmental initiatives. Through every endeavor, DIVEVOLK has sought to not only innovate for exploration but to champion the cause of preservation.

Every photo, every video taken with DIVEVOLK gear becomes a voice for conservation, a story that educates and moves others to care. In this way, our customers extend the reach of marine advocacy far beyond traditional boundaries, building a grassroots movement to protect our oceans.

Therefore, participating in hands-on conservation like coral nurturing is not merely a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative for DIVEVOLK; it’s an intrinsic expression of our brand’s DNA. Our team comprises passionate divers and ocean lovers. Our product inspiration comes directly from the sea that mesmerizes us. Giving back to protect this vital source of inspiration, biodiversity, and life is a fundamental responsibility we embrace wholeheartedly. This commitment drives us to ensure that exploration and preservation go hand-in-hand, reflecting a deep respect for the environment that underpins our very existence as a company and as individuals.

Conclusion & Contact

Safeguarding the future of our blue planet demands more than goodwill—it requires unwavering action, shared responsibility, and visionary leadership. This Earth Day, DIVEVOLK reaffirms its profound commitment to marine conservation, calling on individuals, communities, and industries alike to become stewards of the oceans. For DIVEVOLK, environmental responsibility is not a seasonal campaign, but a continuous journey reflected in tangible initiatives. From nurturing coral reefs in fragile marine ecosystems to leading local waterway cleanups in places like Conghua, Guangzhou, DIVEVOLK acts with the conviction that protecting the oceans is not just an obligation—it is a legacy we must leave for generations yet to come.

DIVEVOLK remains consistently active in protecting both underwater and waterside environments and will continue to support initiatives that promote ocean health and resilience.

About DIVEVOLK

DIVEVOLK was born from a passion for the ocean and a desire to make capturing its beauty accessible to everyone. Pioneering the world’s first full touchscreen underwater smartphone housing, DIVEVOLK revolutionizes underwater photography and videography, allowing users to harness the full power of their smartphones beneath the waves.

John Badalamenti, Co-Founder & CEO of Safe Estate Interviewed on The Influential Entrepreneurs Podcast Discussing Market Risk

John Badalamenti discusses the complexities of market risk

Listen to the interview on the Business Innovators Radio Network: https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/interview-with-john-badalamenti-co-founder-ceo-of-safe-estate-discussing-market-risk/

John Badalamenti, Co-Founder and CEO of Safe Estate, to discuss the complexities of market risk. With over 30 years of experience in the financial industry, John shares his insights on managing and mitigating market risk effectively. He also opens up about his personal life, highlighting his roots in Michigan, his close-knit Italian family, and his favorite spots in the state.

Market risk is an inherent aspect of investing that often leaves investors feeling anxious and uncertain. In a recent podcast episode featuring John Badalamenti, co-founder and CEO of Safe Estate, one of the key takeaways is that market risk is unpredictable, and investors must recognize that the market’s opinion matters more than individual opinions or needs.

Market risk refers to the potential for an investor to experience losses due to factors that affect the overall performance of financial markets. This risk is influenced by various external factors, including economic indicators, geopolitical events, and market sentiment. As John points out, the market often behaves independently of individual investors’ needs or expectations.

For instance, he cites the current volatility in the stock market, which is influenced by ongoing tariff discussions and other macroeconomic factors. Despite what investors may hope or need, the market can decline regardless of their personal financial situations. This unpredictability underscores the importance of understanding that the market operates on its own terms.

John emphasizes a crucial lesson from the legendary trader Jesse Livermore: “It’s the market opinion that matters, not ours.” This statement encapsulates the reality that the market does not cater to individual investors’ desires. Even if an investor believes that a particular stock or index should rise, the market may have other plans.

This disconnect can lead to significant emotional stress for investors, especially when they are heavily invested in volatile assets. As John explains, no amount of wishing or hoping can change the market’s trajectory. Investors may find themselves in a situation where they need the market to perform well, but it simply does not respond as they expect.

Given the unpredictable nature of market risk, it is essential for investors to adopt strategies that can help mitigate this risk. John suggests that one effective approach is to shift investments into more stable, principal-safe options, especially as individuals approach retirement. This might include reallocating funds into money markets, short-term CDs, or annuity-backed investments that provide a level of security against market volatility.

Moreover, John highlights the importance of making proactive decisions. Investors should not wait for the market to recover from a downturn before taking action. Instead, they should assess their risk tolerance and make necessary adjustments to their portfolios to protect their assets. This proactive approach can help prevent the emotional turmoil that often accompanies market downturns.

John expressed: “It is Time, Right Now, to STOP the “Casino Mentality” with your Retirement!!”

About John Badalamenti

John has lived in this business for a while, 30 years fighting the Wall Street battle! Born and raised in beautiful Michigan with a close family that he loves and cherishes. They spend a great deal of time together traveling and love visiting their family cottage in up north Michigan. One of his truly favorite spots is mystical Mackinaw Island. Being an avid animal lover and protector, he will soon provide a sanctuary for animals that need love and a safe home. This will be in memory of his “ex-partner” and beloved friend Bambi, whom he rescued and who went everywhere with him in his travels. In his business mode, he works in many states but primarily the Michigan and Ohio areas fighting for his students and clients from the stock market insanity.

“Emotions run the market” and he has learned from all those emotions from all his students through the years!
