It's been five years since Andy came face to face with a shocking experience that forever changed his life. It all started with the mysterious disappearance of Carmelita Mendosa, a young woman in the small town of Bullsnort, New Mexico. As a rookie reporter, Andy found the case curious and couldn't help but look into it. In June of 1980, Andy went to Bullsnort, assigned to investigate Carmelita's disappearance. Everyone thought the worst but hoped for the best. Then, Andy saw something: a figure seemingly made of sand. To the Native American people, this was a Sand God, also known as a "Dust Devil." Andy's "devil" wasn't what it appeared to be, though, and this sighting led him into many strange experiences that left him questioning his sanity. What had become of Carmelita, and what had drawn Andy to her case in the first place? Secrets are revealed, but suffice to say, Andy is never the same after that trip to the mountains.

Tomato Bisque for the Brain is a book of wisdom, abundance, empowerment, prosperity and success. Tomato Bisque for the Brain is the best way to increase your self-improvement, self-development, self-motivation, self-reflection, self-actualization, self-determination, self-transformation and self-enhancement on a daily basis! The book's purpose is to help individuals move forward in life in positive ways through increased self-improvement, self-development, self-motivation, self-reflection, self-actualization, self-determination, self-transformation and self-enhancement. In addition to carrying 2/3rds of a year's worth of motivational quotations and inspirational self-affirmations (in Chapter 7), this book also helps to enable you to move forward in positive, transformational ways by presenting you with techniques, methods and strategies for helping you control your mood, create success, sideswipe negativity, escape emotional and behavioral ruts, and reset your mindset when needed. At its core, Tomato Bisque for the Brain illustrates the concept that pills alone will not solve most mental, emotional and/or psychological problems. The idea for this book came from watching Super Soul Sundays (R) on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) (R). Watching the show has been such an inspiration for me. Tomato Bisque for the Brain's been a teacher. Oprah's "Thought for Today" newsletter (R) has also been a great inspiration. As an MD with two Abundance, Empowerment, Mind-setting and Prosperity Practices, MLC Of Greater Atlanta [MLCOGA], and Atlanta Coaching and Hypnotherapy Associates [ACHA], I help my clients to realize that there are motivations, inspirations and moments of insight that are readily available to them. In practice, I found myself continually sending my clients to other sources to find concepts, affirmations, quotes and statements that would help empower them and fuel their meditations on a daily basis. So, I decided to create one for them so that I wouldn't have to necessarily send them elsewhere. Together, the chapters of this book will empower you with success-driving techniques while also providing you with the basic concepts, underpinnings and foundation for the formation of the habits upon which healthy mindsets and success are built. David A. Wright, MD, MM, MBA, MHSA "Tomato Bisque for the Brain is inspiring. Tomato Bisque for the Brain taps into the very essence of self-esteem building and affirmation. Dr. Wright manages to boost the spirits of readers by employing short, straight-to-the-point quotes that are enabling, timely, emotionally tranquilizing, and useful for readers. These quotes are spiritually rich in nature and can, like a hot bowl of tomato bisque soup, indeed lift your spirits, allay your cravings, and comfort you."
