Listen to “Russell Heath, Former Lobbyist and Personal Coach shares his Good News…lucky us!” on Spreaker.

Former Lobbyist and Personal Leadership Coach Pens Alaskan Political Thriller
Rinn’s Crossing is a high-stakes, high-octane dive into the gritty political battles that have ripped Alaska apart since statehood.
Author Russell Heath was a lobbyist in the Alaska state legislature and saw state politics up close. Every dirty trick, every manipulation of rules and procedure, every casual betrayal of principle in this novel, happened in real life. “Except,” Heath says, “the final one. That was an invention.”
Rinn’s Crossing doesn’t compromise. There are no easy answers: People must work, the forests must be protected, and Native Alaskans must receive what was long promised to them. The moral choices are stark and everyone, when pushed hard enough, steps over the line.
Heath is available to discuss:
His thriller, Rinn’s Crossing, which is ripped from today’s headlines. How real-world politics works—except when it doesn’t.
First theme from Rinn’s Crossing: Friends suddenly find themselves running from crimes neither could have imagined of themselves. How “good” people cross the line when fighting for what they think is right.
Second theme from Rinn’s Crossing: Three friends, once united by their love of Alaska, betray each other as the epic forces ripping apart the state drive them to choose sides. The death grip Alaska has on the people who love it.
Heath’s story—hitchhiked to Alaska in his teens, lived in a cabin on the Tanana River, worked on the Alaska Pipeline, lobbied in the state legislature, and fought to protect the world’s last great temperate rainforest.
More stories: Heath has been twice around the world, overland and sailing solo in 25-foot wooden boat. He’s crossed the Sahara twice, smuggled gems out of Burma, and bicycled the spine of the Rockies from Alaska to Mexico.
His prior book, Broken Angels; a finalist for Best Independently Published Mystery of 2015.
Rinn’s Crossing is written with a literary attention to well-crafted prose and complex characters and with a maniacal attention to a ripping storyline. It is for readers who want to be challenged—and kept up late at night turning pages.
“From the very first page the reader is captured by “a whitewater journey” in a world of the beauty, power, and danger of nature in Alaska, the Great Land… We learn this same land is the foundation of a timeless Native culture struggling to survive in a changing modern world. The rapids will take you to knowing the lives of personal bonding and intense love that leads to mystery, a thriller, and murder as well as the sleazy world of politics as it feeds on the lust for power, ego, and money… Put on your life jacket, grab a paddle and enjoy the trip.” –Former Governor of Alaska Tony Knowles
“A high-speed immersion into the perilous depths of our state’s politics.” –Seth Kantner bestselling author of Ordinary Wolves.
Complex, riveting and right out of the headlines. Heath, who paid his dues with years in Alaska, nails Alaska’s Zeitgeist. –Kim Elton, Alaska State Senator and Director of Alaska Affairs, U.S. Department of the Interior.
About Rinn’s Crossing:
On a remote Alaskan island, Rinn Vaness commits a minor felony. His former lover is arrested for the crime—and a murder someone tried to pin on him.
Out on bail, Kit Olinsky fights a scorched-earth battle in the state legislature to save the Alaska she loves. She can only win if she betrays her friend dan Wakefield, a Native fighting desperately for what was promised to his people a generation ago. In the back rooms of the legislature, Senator Billy Macon manipulates Alaska’s grimy politics with vindictive mastery in the drive to the governor’s mansion.
Like a lone wolf, Rinn slips out of the forest to protect Kit, never suspecting that he has more at stake than a lonely prison cell.

Listen to “Todd Wharton” on Spreaker.

On Saturday, November 17, 2018 from 6PM – 10:30PM (A movement supported by the city of NY) The 2nd Annual “One Love L’s Up Holiday Concert for Peace & Unity” presented by LTC Live, will take place in Times Square/Father Duffy Square in the heart of NYC.

Hi, my name is Todd Wharton, CEO & Founder of LTC, Host of LTC Live and the Creator of The One Love L’s Up Global Movement & Concert for Peace & Unity. NYC is the greatest city in the world, not because of the food, the skyscrapers, the entertainment, etc… IT’S BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE. We forget how special and beautiful this world is until you stand in the heart of NYC and at that moment you realize in one place, people from around the world from every race, religion, gender, sexual preference, young, old, rich, poor, etc.. are doing one thing; celebrating life without the fear of being afraid of who they are with the drive that know matter where they are from in the world #IamNYC , because NYC is the world.

This concert/movement has been created not because of a tragedy, but to try to prevent future ones. A concert not to happen just once, but a movement to take around the world to promote L’s Up (a symbol of peace and hope to let everyone know you are an equal of this earth)
A movement that unites all charities and all movements for one goal, to get one step closer to that Utopia.

Humans have been at war with each other since the dawn of time and we are fighting battles and rules based on those from the past that mocked what they don’t understand. You have a choice, a human virtue that only you control.

We are asking for your support. Anyone can say “Well I liked your post”, but it’s the ones that give a little or a lot, who show up and the ones that get off their computer to be a part of history to help celebrate life and not aid in destroying it. Help us change the course of time and make our future better for those generations to come.

Bob Marley has proven that a voice can be strong through music to promote peace and love. He was so determined that after being shot for what he believed in, 2 days later he got back up on that stage and sang. When asked “Why” he said “There are those that are trying to make this world worse and they are not taking a day off. How can I? Light up the darkness”

Please help us make a difference. This is your world as well.
One man can change the world, but together we can change the course of man and woman in a positive way.

My name is Todd Wharton and I approve this message
