Martinez releases a heartwarming story teaching empathy, inclusion, and emotional strength.

Washington, District of Columbia (DC), United States, 1st Apr 2026 – Candido Martinez is excited to announce the release of Super Sam, a heartwarming new children’s book now available on Amazon. This inspiring story introduces young readers to a superhero with autism who faces both incredible adventures and personal challenges. Super Sam is not only a superhero tale but also a story that encourages understanding, empathy, and acceptance for all children.

Designed as a children’s book for ages 4–8, Super Sam takes readers on a journey where the hero’s greatest battles are sometimes the ones inside his own heart and mind. Through engaging storytelling and relatable situations, this children’s book helps children see that being different can be a superpower.

A Story That Inspires

In Super Sam, readers follow Sam, a superhero who loves helping others and saving the city. But even superheroes have hard days. Sam sometimes struggles with strong emotions that feel bigger than his super strength. The story shows how he learns to cope with his feelings, build supportive friendships, and understand that needing help doesn’t make him any less super.

This children’s book emphasizes emotional regulation, teaching children that it is normal to have ups and downs. Through Sam’s journey, young readers learn that courage comes in many forms—not just in defeating villains, but in understanding and expressing emotions.

Meet the Hero

Sam is not your usual superhero. While he has incredible abilities, his story focuses on his experiences with autism. This children’s book shines a light on how children with autism see the world differently, highlighting both challenges and strengths. Sam’s courage and resilience make him a role model for children learning to embrace their differences.

The story presents Sam as a character who, despite struggles, can achieve great things with support, understanding, and the right coping strategies. Readers of this children’s book will be inspired by Sam’s determination and the way he finds strength in both himself and his friendships.

Why This Book Stands Out

Unlike many superhero stories that focus only on fighting external villains, Super Sam shows that the hardest challenges can come from within. This children’s book uniquely combines adventure with emotional growth, normalizing discussions about autism, feelings, and mental well-being.

Super Sam also encourages social-emotional learning. Children and educators will appreciate how the book models empathy, inclusion, and positive peer support. It is a story that invites conversations about emotions, understanding differences, and celebrating individual strengths, making it a valuable addition to any classroom or family library.

Dianna T. Benson’s suspense thriller novels blend intense crime, moral conflict, and authentic emergency response.

Washington, DC, Washington, United States, 1st Apr 2026 – Award-winning and international bestselling author Dianna T. Benson brings readers heart-pounding stories with her collection of suspense thriller novels: The Hidden Son, Final Trimester, and Persephone’s Fugitive. Available now at all booksellers, these books deliver fast-paced plots, strong characters, and realistic details drawn from the author’s real-world emergency and crime response experience.

Together, these three titles showcase Benson’s talent for writing suspense thriller stories that feel real, urgent, and deeply human. Each novel places ordinary people in extraordinary danger, forcing them to make life-or-death choices under intense pressure.

A Deadly Secret and a Fight for the Truth – The Hidden Son

In The Hidden Son, U.S. DEA Special Agent Lelisa Desmond refuses to follow an illegal order to bury evidence in a high-profile case. That decision nearly costs her life. A hit man is hired to silence her forever in the ocean off the coast of Grand Cayman Island. Lelisa survives, but someone close to her is murdered in her place.

With no one she can fully trust, Lelisa turns to Inspector Alec Dyer for help—only to learn she is his top suspect in the homicide. As she races to uncover the truth, Lelisa discovers the man behind the plot is powerful, protected, and desperate to keep a dangerous secret hidden.

The Hidden Son is a suspense thriller novel packed with betrayal, danger, and high-stakes action. Library Journal praises the book, stating:

“Benson hits a home run in this thriller that grabs readers from the first page. Fans of Joel C. Rosenberg will thrill to the twisty, fast-paced action and suspense.”

A Serial Killer with a Twisted Mind – Final Trimester

Final Trimester follows Paramedic Jodi Duncan, who notices disturbing patterns in a series of strange deaths before police make the connection. She believes a serial killer is targeting pregnant women. Detective Nate Quigley isn’t convinced and warns Jodi to stay out of police work.

When another woman is murdered, Nate is forced to take a closer look. What he finds is terrifying—a killer torn by voices he believes are God and the devil, both fighting for control of his actions. As the body count rises, the killer becomes fixated on Jodi, seeing her as part of his internal battle.

This chilling suspense thriller novel earned major recognition, with More Than A Review naming Final Trimester Favorite Book of the Year and Dianna T. Benson Favorite Author of the Year.

Note: A limited number of free audiobooks of Final Trimester are available. Click here to claim yours before the offer ends.

Faith, Fear, and Survival – Persephone’s Fugitive

In Persephone’s Fugitive, a routine 911 call turns into a deadly hostage situation. Paramedic Sara Dyer is taken at gunpoint by Jason Keegan, an injured psychiatric patient charged with murder. As police surround the scene, Jason threatens to blow everything up rather than return to prison.

Sara must find a way to save both their lives while trapped in a tense standoff. As they struggle to survive, Sara’s faith is tested in unexpected ways, especially when help comes from someone who does not share her beliefs.

USA Today bestselling author Margaret Daley praises the novel, saying:

“An interesting tense-filled story about a desperate man who takes a hostage. Ms. Benson does a good job getting inside the heads of the multi-dimensional characters. Enjoyed!”

This emotionally charged suspense thriller story blends action, faith, and moral conflict into a powerful reading experience.

Real Experience Behind Every Story

Dianna T. Benson is an EMT, crime victim advocate, and former FEMA and Haz-Mat Operative. Her firsthand experience allows her to write suspense thriller novels with authenticity and accuracy rarely found in the genre. Readers feel the urgency, fear, and emotional weight because Benson has lived it.

Her achievements include the Selah Award for Best Debut Novel, the Genesis Award, and multiple Daphne du Maurier recognitions.

Heidi Vogel Marquis shares her true story of survival, caregiving, faith, and spiritual encounters.

New York, NY, United States, 1st Apr 2026 – Heidi Vogel Marquis is proud to announce the release of her new book, Spirits In My Spirituality: Memoir Of A Homestead, now available on Amazon. This honest and moving Memoir shares her real-life journey through illness, loss, danger, and deep spiritual moments. It is a story about survival, caregiving, faith, and finding light in dark times.

This Memoir is not just about one hard season. It covers decades of challenge. Heidi writes about facing death more than once. During a near-fatal event, she experienced something life-changing. She says she was told by a Light that she had “a job to do” and was sent back. But the job was not simple. It was full of struggle, responsibility, and lessons she never expected.

A Story of Strength in the Middle of Chaos

In Spirits In My Spirituality: Memoir Of A Homestead, Heidi Vogel Marquis shares what it means to keep going when life feels too heavy. Her mission became caring for others while also fighting her own serious health problems. She had to protect her child from real risks. She faced financial stress and a difficult marriage. She dealt with sickness, money loss, and even moments that brought her close to legal trouble.

Yet this Memoir is not only about pain. It is also about courage. It shows how strength can grow during the worst days. Heidi writes about strange and powerful spiritual experiences. She speaks of guidance from unseen helpers, quiet whispers of support, and her own creative voice that kept her steady.

Readers will see how daily life can feel messy and confusing. But through it all, Heidi finds meaning. She even finds humor. She reminds us that sometimes, if life feels like a wild ride, it may be better to hold on, grab a snack, and laugh when you can.

A Memoir That Blends Faith, Humor, and Real Life

This Memoir stands out because it speaks in a real and open way. Heidi does not pretend to be perfect. She shares her doubts. She shares her mistakes. She shares her fear. But she also shares her faith.

As a student of global spirituality, she draws wisdom from many traditions. Her journey includes a powerful near-death experience that changed how she sees life. She has said she is “not afraid of dying; [she is] afraid of not living.” That line captures the heart of this book.

Readers who enjoy true stories about resilience, spiritual growth, caregiving, and personal strength will connect deeply with this Memoir. It shows that growth does not happen far away from trouble. It happens right in the middle of it.

About the Author

Over the years, she has taken care of others while also managing her own serious health issues. At times, her life included great instability, even periods of homelessness.
