THE RESURRECTION OF CAPTAIN ETERNITY written
by Diana Laurence writing as Diane Lau At age 15, Maria met a man who changed her life…Unfortunately, he was from space. Or more accurately, on TV. For one summer she adored him. For 17 years she never forgot him. And then one day he returned. Now Maria has to reconcile her dream space hero with a real flesh-and-blood man, or at least with his personas: actor, waiter, rock singer, enigma with a mysterious past. Which one is real, and what has become of Captain Eternity? And who is it that Maria really loves? If you've ever been in love with a fantasy, and wished it could be real, find out how Maria handles it when that very wish comes true…. Read an excerpt from the book. Readers write: I just this minute finished Captain Eternity, and what a delight it is! I liked the light touch you put on the sexual tensions and love-making. Maria's hero-worship, as a young girl, of "her" Captain presented her with a seemingly unsurmountable problem. And Fritz, who had his own bag of demanding alter-egos that he felt compelled to drag along in his life journey, played to her eager audience. Could these two fine real humans ever be able to, not cast aside these endearing personality parts, but weave them into whole and secure adults? And can Maria and Fritz fill the empty spots in each other's beings, so that the ghosts of Maria-at-fifteen and both Captain and Julian can recede into small playful recesses, while Maria and Fritz move into a real future, maybe together? I loved the book, and I thank you for giving me the chance to enjoy it. Captain Eternity is a sweet and lovely story, and I say that with a warm feeling for the kind and gentle protagonists and their good and giving friends. --Norah Z., Crawfordsville, IN "I just finished Captain Eternity and loved it! It was funny, scary and teary at almost the same time. It was an interesting fantasy to work with, and one that I think everyone has. What do you do when the situation becomes real? I also liked Maria. I found myself smiling at different parts. It's a great story." --Kelly M., Winthrop, MA "I already own "The Ressurection of Captain Eternity" and it is one of my favorites. I read it about once a year. This copy is a gift. Gotta spread the love!" --Samantha M., Delevan, NY 246

by Diana Laurence writing as Diane Lau REALITY...is
that all there is? Not according to psychologist Carl Jung, who believed
the imagination is the key to living beyond reality. Using examples
from modern experience, the author shows how Jung's theories can help
you enhance your life.
The world beyond reality exists--and you can tap into it to discover your gifts, triumph over adversity, enhance your experience of love, and increase your enjoyment of life. Read an excerpt from the book. Readers write: "I received Living Beyond Reality on Monday, and have to admit I couldn't put it down! I recognized myself in much of what you described. I was also able to put names on several of the things I've been doing all my life...Thanks for having written Living Beyond Reality and for helping me put a more positive spin on my own 'weirdness.' " --Melanie L., Ottawa, ON "I can't begin to explain how much I enjoyed it. I mean really enjoyed it, as in an...I can't put it down kind of way. It's really that good. I highly recommend it to everyone and anyone, regardless of their obsessive tendencies and/or fascinations." --Erica, St. Louis, MO 180
