A True Story Following the Crash of Flight 3272

“Angel Gabriel” Now Available in e-book

It was January 9, 1997. Outside of her home in Monroe, Michigan, it was cold, windy and snowing. Inside, Joy LaPlante was counting her blessings for a warm house and thinking how glad she was that she didn’t have to go outside. Joy was startled by the sound of her phone ringing. It was her good friend Honey.

“Joy, did you hear what happened?” “No. What?” she answered.

“I turned on my police scanner,” Honey continued, her voice serious. “Joy, there has been a plane crash!”

Joy felt her heart sink as Honey continued, “They’re saying it’s in a field in Ida.”

What follows is the true story in the aftermath of Comair crash 3272, the only major, commercial airline crash in the United States in 1997 and the first incident following the crash of TWA 800. Originally written and self-published in 1999 by author Joy LaPlante, “Angel Gabriel – A True Story” has been updated and re-released in all e-book formats by publishing house All Star Press.

“When I wrote the book, I just sat down and wrote it,” explained Joy. “I just told the story of my experience with the Angel Gabriel. I never thought in a million years I would write a book and become a published author. It is just something that happened. I am just a simple woman who told my story, in my own words, to help spread the message.”

Offered at the introductory price of only $2.97, “Angel Gabriel – A True Story” is now available in all e-book formats from leading retailers Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords and direct from the publisher at AllStarPress.com.

Only $2.97 in PDF format direct from the publisher.

Sleep Great for Life – Kindle Book FREE – Final Day Today, June 27

Author Rich Nilsen‘s powerful book, Sleep Great for Life, a publication of All Star Press, is free this Tuesday through Thursday in the Kindle Store on Amazon.com. Nilsen’s five-star rated book offers 14 critical steps for proper sleep hygiene.

Readers are then provided the crux of the Sleep Great method, which is an easy-to-follow procedure for overcoming various forms of sleep disorders.

Every night millions of people throughout the country suffer with insomnia. It may be difficulty falling asleep, constantly waking up in the middle of night with the inability to resume sleeping, restless sleep in general, or a combination of these difficulties.

Sleep deprivation can spiral out of a control, lasting for months or years while wreaking havoc on a person’s overall well-being and health. It doesn’t have to be that way.

“Sleep surveys indicate that fifty-eight percent of adults in the U.S. experience symptoms of insomnia a few nights a week or more,” explained Nilsen. ” The impact of poor sleep results in numerous health and personal issues, including depression, increased blood pressure, irritability, difficulty concentrating, lack of desire, just to name a few.”

“The Sleep Great method teaches readers that they do not have to rely on sleeping pills to get a good night’s sleep on a regular basis,” continued the author. “I suffered with debilitating insomnia and it wrecked my life. It pains me to see anyone else suffering with a sleep disorder because I know how difficult it can be, how it can affect one’s personal and work life, and the depression it can result. Insomnia is a vastly underrated health problem.”

The book, which is also sold in paperback for $12.97, is available exclusively in e-book format for the Kindle. Beginning Tuesday, June 25 and ending at Midnight on Thursday, June 27, the book “Sleep Great for Life” can be downloaded at no charge. The author asks that readers who benefit from the book leave a book review on Amazon at a later date.

In “Sleep Great for Life” Nilsen empowers readers to take back their nights and sleep time by teaching them:

To correct any of the missing 14 sleep hygiene steps in their life
How to get off all sleep medications
To spot stress factors that bring about insomnia
To understand how to lay a proper sleep foundation for life
How to properly attack their sleep issue and overcome it once and for all

Additional information about the book can be found online at sleepgreatforlife.com. For interested e-book readers, it is available exclusively through Amazon.com for the Kindle eReader, Kindle App, and online through the Kindle Cloud.

“Angel Gabriel – A True Story” Released in E-Book Formats

It was the beginning of the New Year, 1997. Outside of her home in Monroe, Michigan, it was cold, windy and snowing. Inside, Joy LaPlante was counting her blessings for a warm house and thinking how glad she was that she didn’t have to go outside. Joy was startled by the sound of my phone ringing. It was her good friend Honey.

“Joy, did you hear what happened?” “No. What?” she answered.

“I turned on my police scanner,” Honey continued, her voice serious. “Joy, there has been a plane crash!”

Joy felt her heart sink as Honey continued. “They’re saying it’s in a field in Ida.”

They listened to what was being said on the scanner and could hear a fireman’s voice quivering as he spoke. “We don’t know what kind of plane this is, but it looks like a disaster.”

The fireman spoke again, “Call in Petersburg, Deerfield and Monroe. Put everybody else on standby, we’re going to need help. We need to find out what type of plane this was, and how many were on.”

Two weeks later on the night of January 23, Joy felt the presence of someone standing over her, watching her. She was afraid to open her eyes for fear of what she would see. Joy just knew if she opened her eyes there would be someone standing there looking at her. She laid there thinking, maybe it was the spirit of her grandmother or grandfather, but somehow she knew it wasn’t. She started saying The Lord’s Prayer and then started praying that whatever was there would go away.

However, just then, with her eyes closed, Joy saw the most beautiful face she had ever seen. His eyes were as blue as the sky on a day full of sunshine with no clouds. The blue part of his eyes had purple running through it and gold flecks that sparkled. At first, she just stared at his eyes in total awe.

Then she realized her eyes were open, and the feeling of love was overwhelming. So overwhelming in fact, that Joy thought her chest and heart were going to explode. She was no longer scared. She looked at him and said “Hello.”

This is true story in the aftermath of ComAir crash 3272, the only major, commercial airline crash in the United States in 1997. Originally written and self-published in 1999 by author Joy LaPlante, “Angel Gabriel – A True Story” has been updated to be re-released in all e-book formats by publishing house All Star Press. The release date was Monday, June 24, 2013.
