Welcome to The Fragrance of Angels, Martha Brookhart Halda’s memoir is about her time on the other side. It is about how she reshaped and developed a new purpose in life, as it became more fraught with challenge after her visit in heaven.
The Fragrance of Angels is a mother’s empowerment story. It takes you from a parent’s greatest horror: dying while the kids are very young, to a profound change in approach to parenting and living life.
As a former collegiate track, volleyball, and basketball player and mother, Brookhart Halda tells you how she dealt with extensive rehabilitation, re-learning to walk and talk, difficulties in marriage, and returning to full-time motherhood. She also shares her story of triumph when just three years later, she ran the Dublin Marathon, struck out on her own, met a new love, and found meaning in a world that never looked or felt the same to her again.
Her story is similar to many other women who are in the middle of their lives, yet it is infused with a sense of purpose and discovery that’s borne out of her time on the other side.
The Fragrance of Angels is filled with a deep sense of challenge and love. Prepare to embark on a journey of beauty, emotional upheaval, frustration and triumph. Plus, this book holds a big surprise; it’s what Martha realized while she was in eternity.

Caulerpa Conquest: A Biological Eradication on the California Coast
Eric Noel Muñoz
It was a battle for the California coast. It was fought against an invasive species, a mutant genetic form of seaweed. And it was real.
Rarely have global battles like this been won. Until now.
When the first known Western Hemisphere detection of the invasive seaweed Caulerpa taxifolia occurred in Southern California, at San Diego County’s Agua Hedionda Lagoon in Carlsbad, something had to be done to stop it.
Caulerpa Conquest is the true story of the 2000 to 2006 precedent-setting local eradication effort. It is a book inspired by missed opportunities and lessons learned from the Mediterranean Sea, where it took hold and caused great destruction.
City staff planner, designated agency liaison, lagoon foundation president, and agent for continued creative outreach through 2015, Eric Noel Muñoz is the author. Like a detective, he connects the dots from local lagoon waters to foreign coastlines, including Australia, New Zealand, Croatia, France, and Monaco.
