She earned her M.S.W. from the University of Pennsylvania School of Social Policy & Practice after receiving her undergrad degree from Lynn University in South Florida.

In 2016, the respected industry executive gave birth to her son Liam at Cedar Sinai Medical center in Beverly Hills. Her OBGYN led her to believe she had a seemingly normal pregnancy, despite Lindsay visiting her OBGYN's office forty-odd times before giving birth. Just months after becoming a first-time mother, Ms. Staloff suffered complications from PPCM (Peripartum Cardiomyopathy), a preventable pregnancy-induced cardiac disease, resulting in multiple cardiac arrests, a hypothermia coma, & continued complications.

Ms. Staloff has become the leading voice for women and the families of women who have survived or lost a family member to Peripartum Cardiomyopathy. Today, Ms. Lindsay Staloff's purpose in life is to save others through her non-profit organization, PPCM Fund, Inc by spreading education and awareness of this deadly disease to the medical community and expectant parents. She seeks to expand her work on behalf of women and parents through a term in public office by focusing on her local community and small and women-owned businesses. Lindsay has worked with PPCM Fund to put women and families first and will continue to do so as a city council member via an emphasis on policy, not politics.

Book Tour & Book Review: Kill Them with Canvas by Bailee Abbott #blogtour #bookreview #mystery #cozymystery #rabtbooktours @RABTBookTours @BaileeAbbott1

 

Paint by Murder Mystery #2


Cozy Mystery

Date Published: 10-11-2022

Publisher: Crooked Lane Books

In Bailee Abbott’s second book in the Paint by Murder mysteries, Chloe and Izzie are taking their paint party business on the road—with murder as the first stop!

Chloe Abbington and her sister, Izzie, are enjoying huge success running Paint with a View, their paint party business in the tranquil western New York lakeside town of Whisper Cove. Now, their aunt Constance—president of the local chapter of the Chautauqua Sisterhood—has hooked them up with a gig hosting a Halloween painting party. The guests will be painting a local ghost legend, the Lady of Chautauqua Lake, who died a hundred years earlier and rises from the lake every October to haunt anyone who dares venture out on All Hallows’ Eve.

The event seems to be going off without a hitch, until Chloe overhears an argument between Constance and Viola Finnwinkle, the Sisterhood director, about the fate of the local chapter. Both women leave and the sisters finish their painting. But the next morning, Viola’s body is discovered floating face down near the town ferryboat dock, her long red hair spread around her. Eerily, the image is an exact replica of a painting Chloe and Izzie had discovered at the event the night before.

What’s more, the police find Constance’s purple knit hat lying on the ground near the crime scene. Constance pleads innocence, saying the hat mysteriously went missing during the event. Frantic that she might be charged with murder, she begs Chloe and Izzie to help her. The sisters believe their aunt is innocent, but if so, who’s the real killer—and when will the next victim turn up?

 



Review
Descriptive in the best way. Full of great moments and mystery. Witty and full of life! 
I loved the characters, which always tends to get me invested in a book right away. 
The plot flowed nicely and the action kept me guessing and flipping pages. What a clever story. It's so well put together, ingenious, and original.

A Readers' Favorite 5-star review recipient


Magic stirs and a little dog speaks: the kingdom will fall. But will humans listen?

Jake is a fluffy little dog who just happens to be one of the Sculptor's "wise

ones" . . . but nobody's told him. He's certain he's ordinary, and he knows he doesn't deserve living in a rags to riches fairy tale where he’s been rescued from his hardscrabble life by the King of Gorseland and pampered and loved by his two royal children, Janice and James.

But the good life is threatened with the arrival of the sorcerer, Beezeldorn, and his raven. Beezeldorn is a seeming charlatan: a crowd-pleaser with his sleight-of-hand and cheap spectacle. But his power from dark magic runs deep, on display in town when he heals a leper.

The queen senses the danger and pays for her instincts with her life.

Jake knows something is wrong, but what can he do? Beezeldorn is always one step ahead, moving into the castle, earning the king’s confidence, and befriending James. Even Janice is drawn to him.

Now it's up to Jake to protect his family . . . before it's too late . . . for the king . . . and his kingdom.


Perfect for fans of C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia.

Book Blitz: Purest Mercy by Daniel Roberts #promo #christian #fiction #rabtbooktours @RABTBookTours @MKWebsiteandSEO

 

Christian Fiction

Date Published: January 31, 2022

Publisher: Outskirts Press


Purest Mercy is a Christian fiction novel about the extraordinary ways that God can use the simplest, humblest people to achieve great miracles. In it, we meet Mercy, a homeless teenager on the run from horrific circumstances, who finds her place of belonging when she comes upon the Resurrection Christian Mission Church, and its dedicated pastor, Rev. Bethany Lewis. RCMC is a ministry specifically aimed at alleviating the difficulties and struggles experienced by homeless people, but they are strapped to the limit, and about to run out of food to serve the community...when Mercy's prayers result in a miraculous trove of food.

But the miracles are only just beginning. As Mercy's prayers begin to transform more and more lives with healing and hope, she falls in love with David Mullins, a homeless youth she seems to know from Another Time and Place. Mercy, David, and Bethany form a tight-knit family, drawn all the closer when a younger girl, Amy, joins them off the streets.

Then, one night, during an intense ice storm, Amy is attacked and left for dead at a nearby park...until Mercy finds her and, in a final act of selflessness, literally takes on Amy's wounds, receiving the stigmata just as she loses consciousness. Frantically, Bethany gets the young people back to the parsonage, where Mercy dies the following morning: Good Friday, 2013.

The family, and the Resurrection community, are heartsick over the shocking loss. Until God, again through Mercy, proves to them once and for all that even death cannot separate them from the Love--and Mercy--of the Divine.


About the Author

Daniel Roberts is a retired pastor and Christian spiritual writer, captivated by the mysterious ways God can use the simplest and humblest vessels to achieve extraordinary results.

Book Blitz: Man Na by John J. Murray, Jr. #promo #christian #selfhelp #rabtbooktours @RABTBookTours @MKWebsiteandSEO

 

A Daily Guide to Becoming the Salt God Intended


Christian Self-Help

Date Published: October 9, 2022


photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png

Man Na is not just another devotional.

Each day, the typical devotional offers a passage, hopes it inspires, and waits for us to return for another dose of motivation. When the next day arrives, God is expected to feed us with more manna once again.

Man Na, on the other hand, has a secret ingredient that not only fills us up, but creates lasting fulfillment.What is its secret?

Salt. Man Na recognizes we are not only called to fill ourselves, but are designed to be salt for others through service, kindness, forgiveness, friendship, humility, gratitude, happiness, and love.

This devotional helps us stop focusing inward and start concentrating on others throughout the day.

By providing readers with God's bread and His desire for us to be salt for others, Man Na offers what other devotionals do not. So, grab your shaker and get ready to become what God intended.

Book Tour & Book Review: The Continuing Adventures of Laurel Palmer by Pamela McCord #blogtour #bookreview #giveaway #paranormalromance #rabtbooktours @RABTBookTours @PublishingAcorn @Pam805



 Paranormal Romance/Fiction

Date Published: October 20, 2022

Publisher: Acorn Publishing


photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png

 Is there love after death? Laurel Palmer is about to find out. Thanks to a little shove by her husband, Laurel wakes up dead. And there’s no sign of that white light people are supposed to go into. Now a ghost stuck on earth, Laurel is determined to find out how she can get into heaven. On her search for the light, Laurel meets Teddy Rule, a hunk of a ghost who coincidentally was also murdered by her husband. Turns out, he didn’t get that light either. As they work together to figure out what's keeping them on this earthly plane, feelings develop. Not knowing if heaven will separate them, they must decide whether or not to cross over.




Review
The action, the world building, the characters... it's all very well done. 
The author takes a different approach in keeping the pace steady and constantly moving the plot, but not giving us a ton of information all at once in the beginning. We get snippets along the way. It worked, it was just a bit different. 
I think that it is a great read if you like a little more substance with your paranormal romance books. 

About the Author


Pam got a late start in writing but has made up for it with several published novels and a few more on the way. A serendipitous conversation with a writer friend launched her literary career, and the fact that she might never have had that particular conversation is enough to make her believe that fate played a hand in sending her down the path to becoming an author. All four of her published books have won the Mom’s Choice Award Gold Seal, and the first book in her Pekin Dewlap Mystery series was the winner of the American Book Fest Children’s Fiction Award. She’s lived in Southern California most of her life and is thankful to have a loving family and supportive friends. Spending time at home during the COVID pandemic advanced both Pam's writing and her relationship with her My Cat From Hell TV star, Allie, who manages to exude just enough affection to make her scary feral ways tolerable.

On the eve of the twelfth millennium, the prophesied return of The Unifier marks the beginning of a complex and shattered world centered around the mutations of a diverse people. While the three warring kingdoms vy for control over the arid world they live in, a young hero finds himself directly involved in the vicious conflict. Upon uncovering the mystery of the prophecy and unraveling the events of the past thousand years, Lucian quickly realizes both himself and his family are at the center of this plot involving the individual bestowed with the unique mutations of all three kingdoms. The Unifier will need to find the courage and strength to renew the spirits of this world’s occupants to lead them into a new chapter and step away from its dark history.

 

About the Author

Jay had begun cultivating the creation of the world in The Unifier for several years now. It wasn’t until recently with the welcoming of his first child, he found himself putting together the novel into a story that he was both proud of and ready to share with the world. His obsession with storytelling can be supplemented through various projects he hopes to bring to the public in the next couple of years including screenplays, and the sequels to this intricate and complex design he has worked on.

When Jay isn’t writing, he can be found spending time with his new family or on the golf course working on his short game. He currently resides in New York with his beautiful wife and infant daughter.
