Book Blitz: Eat Well Supplement Well Digest Well by Dan Corrigan

 

A Nonconformist Approach to Optimal Health

Nonfiction / Health / Nutrition

Date Published: September 22, 2025

Eat Well, Supplement Well, Digest Well presents a clear framework for supporting health through food, supplementation, and digestion.

Drawing on more than 30 years in natural health—and his own recovery from a life-threatening digestive condition—Dan Corrigan shares the principles that shaped his work as an educator and supplement maker. The book is built around three foundational practices:

● Eating real, nutrient-dense food

● Choosing supplements with intention and discernment

● Supporting digestion so nutrients can be properly absorbed

Corrigan’s approach reflects traditional food wisdom, practical experience, and a deep understanding of how the supplement industry operates. His focus remains on clarity, simplicity, and independent thinking.

“Optimal health is being the best you can be—functionally, emotionally, physically, and energetically. You don’t just feel good. You feel great.”

Inside the book, readers will learn:

● Why traditional foods such as meat, eggs, butter, and fat play an important role in health

● How to evaluate supplement labels and identify misleading formulations

● Why many multivitamins fall short and what alternatives to consider

● How to recognize synthetic vitamin C marketed as whole-food nutrition

● Practical ways to support digestion and ease common discomfort

Corrigan outlines how consistent attention to food quality, targeted supplementation, and digestive health can support the body’s natural ability to regain balance.

“If you act on nothing else in this book, let it be these three words: eat real food.”

Whether you are beginning your wellness journey or already committed to real food and holistic health, Eat Well, Supplement Well, Digest Well offers a grounded, trustworthy guide to building energy, resilience, and long-term well-being.

Cover Reveal: Boy Altared by J.S. Pavoggi

 

 

Historical Fiction

Date Published: April 1, 2026

Publisher: Acorn Publishing

Amid the vibrant landscape of San Francisco in the late 1960s, eleven-year-old Jamie steps into the confines of a dark confessional booth. With promises of confidentiality, Father Nelson uncovers a chilling secret buried deep within the young boy’s subconscious.

Intrigued by his grave past, Father Nelson brings him into the church as an altar boy under the mentorship of Harry, an older acolyte. The priest quickly gains control over Jamie, using the boy’s complicated history and his own undisputed authority to initiate a dark turn in their relationship. Jamie falls deeper into the world of religion, and his blooming friendship with Harry becomes a needed distraction from the somber realities of the church.

Shaped by major cultural events, from the Manson murders to the moon landing, to Woodstock and the Civil Rights Movement, Jamie’s life unfolds as he navigates religion, power, and loss of innocence. A haunting coming of age story, Boy Altared explores a seismic shift into adulthood during one of the most turbulent decades in history.

 

About the Author

 

 J.S. Pavoggi was born in 1957 and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, the sixth of eight children in a devout Catholic family. He attended parochial school, served as an altar boy, and came of age during the turbulence of the Vietnam War era and the cultural upheaval that followed.

After a 40-year career in public service with the United States Postal Service—where he also served as a union representative—Pavoggi experienced a life-altering heart procedure that changed the way he saw the world. What began as an impulse to write a better streaming series evolved into a powerful, fictionalized account of survival and healing.

His debut novel, Boy Altared, is a deeply personal work of historical fiction rooted in memory, silence, and resilience. Pavoggi lives in Arizona with his wife of 38 years. They have three children and four grandchildren.

Author Spotlight with Review: Edward Barba (Moving Pictures)

Moving Pictures

Edward Barba

Here is a brief description from Amazon:

 For Detective Fox, closing difficult crimes has always come easy for him, until now. He is assigned a rather strange murder case to solve. He must start an investigation with no evidence, no witnesses, no murder weapon, and no apparent motive. All he has is a body with a missing organ. The only clue he has to work with is a hand drawn flipbook showing how the murder was committed, and an online cooking show highlighting how to cook the missing organ. He is then taken on a twisted murderous spree of revenge with new bodies daily. Each of the victims is meticulously murdered in different ways, and is accompanied by a gruesome flipbook depicting their murder. Every victim becomes the unwilling guest of honor for each new cooking show. The detective himself falls victim and is assaulted. Detective Fox soon discovers he has bit off more than he can chew with this case. As the body count rises, so does the pressure to catch the killer. He must now count on support from every member of his team, both in his precinct and out.

My Review

I picked this e-book through the Kindle Unlimited program.

The author tells his readers that the book is not formatted like a typical book, but the way he did it worked for me.  This was a very good debut book.

From page 1, I was drawn into the story and I couldn't stop reading until I know who/what/why/where, etc.  I wasn't expecting the ending, but that is okay.  I am not the author, but the reader.

CAWFILE: 9.14

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.

Recommend this book? Yes! Author? Yes!

Read more from this author? Yes!

Happy Reading!

What inspired you to become a writer?

EB: I am both. I write down ideas and things I want to include, and allow the story and characters to lead me there.

How did you come up with the ideas for your series? (If your book is a standalone or nonfiction, please skip)

EB: As of right now it is a standalone book, I am in the middle of writing its sequel.

How do you celebrate finishing a book?

EB: By starting another one. 

What would you tell a writer who is just starting? What program do you use for writing? What advice would you give to a writer working on their first book? What’s your writing software of choice?

EB: I would tell a writer that is just starting out, break every rule you can, make the story yours. Ultimately it is YOUR story, write it as you feel it. I do almost all of my writing on my phone using google docs. On the rare occasion that I have time (and remember to charge it) I have a laptop with google docs on it.

How do you organize everything and find the time to sit down and write?

EB: My wife has been my biggest supporter. She was the person telling me to start writing my story.

How do you name your characters?

EB: I use people I know to frame a personality type I want to emulate. Also I use the names of people(slightly adjusted) that I truly dislike as my murder victims.

Can you describe a typical day in your writing life?

EB: I go to work at 4am and work in the meat and produce department. First break is at 6am, I promptly return my travel of coffee to my car and jot down a few story ideas or emotions I want to include. Then it is back to work. At 8am I sit with my lunch and type away on my phone continuing the current story I am writing. I leave work at 1 and head home. I get the kids from school, do homework with the kids, and help cook dinner. After spending time with the kids, I get them to bed, and reread what I wrote on my lunch, making changes as I go along. Then it is bed time for me. Kinda boring. During the work day, I bounce ideas off people as they pop in my brain. I use the work day as huge brainstorming session to refine new ideas.

Tell us about your current release.

EB: My only release is Moving Pictures. A reluctant detective is forced to take on a very atypical murder case. Each victim is uniquely murdered, the killer removes a body part or organ and hosts an online cooking show highlighting the special ingredient. At the scene of every murder, the killer leaves a hand drawn flip book depicting how he killed each person.

About the Author

My name is Edward Barba, and I am the author of a book the New York Times might call the worst book of the year (if there was such a title). I have absolutely no writing education, I have never won any writing contests, and I have zero writing awards. What I do have is a crazy over active imagination, the ability to tell a story some may find gripping and interesting. I do tend to defy any industry norms, and question everything. Which is something I learned growing up in Bayonne, New Jersey, and later took with me to Wilkes Barre, Pa where I live with my wife and six kids. Humor is a very important aspect of my life, so it was one of the most important features I wanted to add to my stories.

Bloodstone Series #4

Historical Suspense

Date Published: 11-10-2025

Publisher: Books to Go Now

Henrietta Newell stormed into the detective bureau. She claimed her adult son was missing and feared for his safety. The detectives attempted to reassure her that the absence of a bachelor in his thirties, in a city like London, wasn’t extraordinary. Despite their efforts, she insisted an investigation be conducted, reminding them of her political connections.

Detective Rudyard Bloodstone and his partner were told to look into the matter. Their investigation reveals evidence of suspicious and unusual activity but no clues regarding the man’s disappearance. The few leads they develop take them from the world of wealthy families and into the secret society of sexual peculiarities.

The detectives discover the victim didn’t simply disappear. He was murdered. They have the evidence except for one problem, they’re missing is the victim’s body.

Excerpt

Archie and Clive stood to the side and quietly watched. 

Ruddy slowly dropped down onto his knees next to the dog. “Snowball,” he said her name wanting to see if she reacted. 

She flipped her tail one weak wag, lifted her head slightly, and then lay it back down. “Will you let me see your injury? I’ll be gentle.”

Snowball watched him as he leaned over her blood patch but she didn’t growl. Ruddy pushed bloody hair away from the spot he thought the source of the injury. He couldn’t tell much through the thick coat. 

“Clive, bring me two clean towels. Wet one,” Ruddy ordered. “And bring a bowl of water. She’s probably dehydrated.”

Clive dashed off toward the kitchen.

“It looks like she’s cooperating with your ministrations. While you handle her, I’m going to start another search.” Archie went down the hall.

Ruddy stroked Snowball, offering soothing words while he waited for the towels. When Clive returned, Ruddy cradled the side of her head and positioned it so she could drink. She lapped up her fill. Once she stopped, Ruddy moved his hand so she could lay her head down again. Then he used the wet cloth to wipe the bloodiest area to get a better look at the wound on her hip. Snowball lifted her head several times in an attempt to see what he was doing. Her body flinched with every movement of her head and she began to tremble.

“Shh, lie still. Shh. Shh.” Ruddy covered her eyes with the dry towel. The tremors stopped and she didn’t try to raise her head again.

“How did you know that would work, covering her eyes and shushing her, considering she’s been through some kind of trauma?” Clive asked.  

“Animals are sensitive to our tone of voice. I learned that from my father, as a farrier, he knows a lot about working with animals. Plus, in addition to our own horses, we had goats, and chickens. He used them to show my brothers and sisters how they responded,” Ruddy explained. “The cloth over her eyes, keeps her from being anxious or agitated by my movements.”

Snowball lay quiet as Ruddy explored her injury. He used the wet towel to wipe as much of the blood from her fur as he could. He finally got through to the center of the wound and in a soft tone told her, “I thought for a moment you were shot, but you’re not. I can’t see where a bullet pierced your hip.” He followed a deep abrasion line from the small pool of dark coagulated blood to the skinned area where the bloodline grew spotty. Ruddy sat back on his heels. “I think she’s been shot but it only grazed her.”

“How can you tell it’s a graze?” Clive asked. 

“I can’t be sure. A doctor will have to examine her further but I’ve seen my share of different bullet wounds. I believe this is a graze. Take a look. It will help you when the day comes for you to become a detective.”

Clive knelt down and his hand hovered over the injury about to touch it.

“Don’t touch the wound,” Ruddy warned and Clive pulled his hand back. “She’s had a terrible scare. Too many strange hands might overly excite her.” He smoothed the hair around the wound back so Clive could see the graze. “See the abrasion of dried blood streaks? That is more common with a graze. The darkest clot of blood doesn’t appear to be a bullet entry spot.”

“Interesting.” Clive tapped his finger on the pocket he kept a small book. “I’ll write this in my notebook.” 

Ruddy stood. “Good idea. Right now, we need you to go to Mrs. Newell’s. Tell her about the dog and come here to tell us if this is her son’s Snowball.”

“Should I bring her in a cab? I don’t know if she has a carriage of her own.”

“Yes, bring her in a cab. Let’s not wait for her to get a carriage ready.” Clive reached into his pocket and took a peek at his change. Before he could say he didn’t have the money, Ruddy fished two crowns from his waistcoat and handed them to Clive. 

“Thank you.” Clive left.

“Grazed by a bullet?” Archie asked, having returned from searching the house. 

“Yes. Did you find anything else of interest?”

“Sadly, no.”

Ruddy pressed the wet towel to the scar, which still oozed blood. The flow had lessened from when the injury had originally occurred. There was no spreading into the patch of dried blood.

Archie started to sit in the nearby chair but stopped and bent down. He picked up a feather with a smudge of blood on it fallen near one of the chair legs. Kneeling he looked under the chair and slid a pillow out. “What’s this then?”

“What?” 

Archie held the pillow out for Ruddy to see a blackened and seared material around a small hole. “I found this bloody feather too.” Archie brought the pillow up to his nose and sniffed. More feathers poked out from the larger hole in the pillow. “It smells acrid like burnt meat. Could be gunpowder residue.”

“Toss me the pillow.” Ruddy caught it and smelled the seared material. “I’m sure it’s gunpowder.”

“If Newell has gone missing, whether voluntarily or forced, what has he been involved in that got him into this situation? Why shoot the poor dog? Based on Mrs. Newell’s information, he didn’t-wouldn’t hurt Snowball, so who did and why?” The question wasn’t meant for immediate answers. From Archie’s tone, it was his thoughts spoken to the universe in general.

“Assuming we have a crime, three reasons for shooting the dog come to me. The person or persons who are behind his disappearance, shot Snowball to shut her up, if she was barking. Or, she might have tried to defend Newell from an attacker. Or, the attacker wanted something from Newell that he’d resist doing and they shot her to emphasize their seriousness, and he would be next.” Snowball whimpered, drawing Ruddy’s attention back. 

About the Author

I was born and raised in Chicago. My father was a history professor and my mother was, and is, a voracious reader. I grew up with a love of history and books.

My parents also love traveling, a passion they passed onto me. I wanted to see the places I read about, see the land and monuments from the time periods that fascinated me. I’ve had the good fortune to travel extensively throughout Europe, the Near East, and North Africa.

I am a retired police detective. I spent twenty-five years in law enforcement with two different agencies. My desire to write came in my early teens. After I retired, I decided to pursue that dream.

I’m currently working on the Bloodstone Series, which is historical suspense stories set in Victorian London. I’ve also written two World War 2 romances: The Ack Ack Girl and Moonlight Serenade.

My past series include my historical/time travel romance series is called, Knights in Time. My romantic thriller series is Dangerous Waters.

Each series has a different setting and some cross time periods, which I find fun to write.

Found Family, Friends to Enemies to Lovers

Forced Proximity, Hurt/Comfort, He Falls First

Release Date: January 29, 2026

BLURB

I’ve always loved Delphi, but she only ever had eyes for Snake.

I watched her marry my club brother, burying my feelings deep, knowing they had that once-in-a-lifetime kind of love most people only read about.

Until the man she married turned on the MC he swore to protect.

Raven Souls don’t suffer fools lightly, so we took our pound of flesh from the traitor and burned Delphi’s world to ash.

Years pass, but my love for the woman I’m supposed to hate never faded.

When Delphi returns, like an avenging angel, sacrificing herself for one of our own and almost losing her life in the process, I know this is it—my one chance to make things right.

I don’t care that she hates me almost as much as she hates the club or that she’ll fight the attraction that crackles between us every step of the way; nothing will stop me from making Delphi mine.

But as the lies coloring her past slowly fall away, secrets are revealed, secrets so horrific they could tear my club apart.

And the truth will make monsters out of all of us.

Avalynne

All my life I’ve been good.

A good student.

A good sister.

A good girl.

Until I wasn’t.

Until Grandpapa sent me here to the convent for the nuns to fix me.

Evil ensnares my mind and sunders my soul.

Or that’s what they tell me, at least.

Reverend Mother demands penance.

Grandpapa demands punishment.

And three men threaten it all.

The Professor, whose words drip with arctic arrogance.

The Priest, whose dark eyes linger on me for too long.

And the Devil of Saint Margaret's, the chilling specter I hope isn’t real.

I’ll need to suffer them all to get out of here, beginning with my Professor.

He is an enigma behind midnight-black eyes.

He doesn’t want to be here.

He loathes tutoring me.

But, sometimes, in the quiet of the classroom … I catch him staring at me.

And I feel the scorch of his gaze feather my skin.

He’ll eat me alive if I give him the chance.

But the darkness in me wants the lines between us to blur.

A habit and a veil won’t protect me within the Convent’s walls.

May God save my undeserving soul.

Author's Note: Hail Mary is a dark age-gap gothic romance featuring three male love interests and one female protagonist. It is recommended for those 18+ and features mature themes.

This book is the first of three novels in the Saint Margaret of Castello Convent series and ends on a cliffhanger.
