Fall into Honey to Stay Well in Autumn the Mediterranean Way!


 By Cal Orey

So, temperatures are cooler at night and warmer in the day as signs of the fall are singing in the sierras. The trees are changing hues, leaves dropping along with cones and needles.  Squirrels are foraging, a raccoon visits my deck in at dawn. The heater kicked on this morning and cravings for pumpkin spice coffee are strong. Oatmeal, apples, nuts, fish, and vegetables are on m

Cal Orey Did you know? The new book--The Healing Powers of Superfoods #7 in the Healing Powers Series will be unveiled in one week? Plus, 32 color photos of scrumptious dishes and foods from the 2019 top ranked Mediterranean Diet are included! That's right! Apples, spinach, whole grain pasta, even a bit of cheese and tomatoes are part of treasure chest of real food--real superfoods! This diet (a theme in the Healing Powers Series) is believed to lower the risk of developing many health ailments and disease, including heart disease, cancer, and obesity..

Cal Orey News Flash: On July 31, The Healing Powers of Coffee: Nature's Surprising Superfood is ready for java junkies! It's the beverage we can't live without--yet few consume it without some guilt. But the wonderful truth is that coffee has gone from vice to virtue. It's time to wake up to amazing health perks of coffee. Available at all online bookstores (paperback and E-book).


Savannah Cal,
Thank you for the friendship.
Stay naughty,

Peg Brantley Thanks for your Goodreads friendship, Cal.

I hate to hock my first book to you… but you might like it. Check out a sample first… but there are plenty of great dogs in it. And a little science. Normally I wouldn't do this, but your interests seemed like they might be a good fit. It seems like you have talents of your own.

Oh… the trailer is on my author page here, if you haven't seen it already.

Thanks again. And I promise I won't be in your face. In fact, I'm moving back to my cave now to continue work on my second release.
