Into the Land of Me is a humorous and warm-hearted book that will take you deep into the life and mind of one desperately, sleep-deprived woman. Who hasn't waged this same tragic battle against sleep deprivation? What makes these stories so enjoyable, and so easy to read, is that through them, the reader comes to recognize herself. Stories such as: Motherhood: Look Who's Napping Now and The Day I Took The Leaf Blower To The Dog, invite the reader into the hilarious world of "LSD" (Land of Sleep Deprivation), where the couch takes on the form of a midnight lover named Larry and trips to "Crabby Town" become part of the daily routine. Even though these tales will have you laughing out loud, they will simultaneously astound you with their wisdom and depth of insight. This sleepless journey begins to take a turn for the worse, as it becomes clear that our protagonist is not only entertaining sleep deprivation, but has also stepped into the tumultuous land of "Midlife Crisis," where "ED" (Estrogen Depletion) comes on the scene and demands her constant attention. The trials that emerge from the ever-changing human mind, body and spirit don't get the best of her. In fact, just the opposite; it is fierce grace that allows her to step into her place of power and in the end, discover what is most important-herself.

Oftentimes the society in which we live dictates who we will become. Growth and self-discovery are simply fables rooted in lies, shadows that follow us throughout our existence. But what happens when you begin to question this structure? In what ways might your life transform when you dare to recognize the political manipulations around you? The characters in Tales from the Red Rooster Cafe decide they want to try to find out. A powerful collection of brilliant science fiction short stories, Tales from the Red Rooster Cafe astutely examines the darkness of mere existence found in all of us, that hidden part of us that makes us individuals and that dares to seek what we want in life—instead of what society tells us to want. Exploring social, moral and political issues with fearless disregard for the winds of popular culture or politically correct opinion, Olson artfully weaves topics like abortion, adultery, gender roles, genetically modified food, media bias and political propaganda, social networking stupidity, celebrity obsession and the devolving state of human development and relationships into a powerfully humanizing array of stories that take readers on vivid psychological journeys into the minds of the characters who inhabit them and who reflect back an often unflattering mirror both at the reader themselves and culture at large. While the vehicles and mechanisms of Olson's imagination often command scientific mastery of burgeoning technology and future trends, his portraiture of relationships runs the gambit from desperate romance, lost love, unspoken desire and the longing of every human soul to love and be loved unconditionally, despite circumstances that often challenge loyalty and stretch the bonds of affection. They are stories written by an author undeniably possessed of an impeccably detailed road map to the human heart and the courage to bare the obviously personal wounds and scars of having loved, lost, and lived to love again and to write about all of it in both blissful and blistering vulnerability. Being conditioned as a human is inevitable. Questioning how it’s happened is essential. These characters defy the structures around them and fight for the lives they truly want. Written with a sharp understanding of what it means to be human in a fantastical landscape that attempts to shape who people are, this collection dares to question what it truly means to be alive, while exhibiting a literary artistry and a romantic sensibility that both enhance and transcend the genre and topics of the stories themselves.

It's been eleven years since 9/11, and we're still at war with Al Qaeda. The shock to the American psyche has not faded. Questions remain. Why did we go to war in the first place? What has this war cost us? When will it end? Why isn't the American government telling us the truth? Is it about oil or opium or something else? What was Osama bin Laden trying to accomplish? Why do young men join the jihad? Why do they believe that Americans are infidels who insult the Muslim community and their faith? Why can't we co-exist?    Questions like these haunt author, Sara Enochs, who is a mother in Phoenix, Arizona. She has thought hard about finding a way to solve these issues. Why?     "When you become a mom, your eyes are opened to the injustice in the world," says Sara Enochs. "We can do better than this. It's imperative that we find a solution to violence. Not just for my children, but for all of the children around the world."    In The Code of Deliverance, Sara Enochs' third novel in the CODE series, she daydreams of a code that will fix everything. It turns out that the code is actually very old, and everybody knows about it, including Ava, her main character. Yet, she doesn't understand it. She doesn't believe.     "The code is finally delivered in her third novel," states Sara Enochs. "It has the power to break down walls, free hearts, mend countries, restore families. It can turn hatred into tenderness, and the power to destroy, into a passion to protect. It can keep kids off drugs. There's not another code out there with such power," Sara Enochs has come to believe. "Nothing else can bring such profound healing. It's the gift Ava has always been daydreaming about, from the first novel, The Code of Destiny, to the last exhilarating page of The Code of Deliverance."    The Code trilogy, The Code of Destiny, The Code of Dignity, and The Code of Deliverance, is Sara first sewing project, so to speak. "I had no clue what I was doing. I just knew that I needed to write," Sara admits. "My brother was violently killed by a guy on crystal meth in 1987, which is chronicled in my books, and from that day forward I vowed to do everything I could to prevent more violent deaths from happening. Now, it's 2010, crystal meth is an epidemic and we're at war. There's so much violence. It's my hope that this code will do what it has done for me, and end the war."    "We all have a war that we need to end. Have you ever heard of the code, 41 and 81, 67 and 65, 10 and 94, 6?"
