LOS ANGELES, Calif., Dec. 29 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Kevin Glavin Publishing announced today the release of "Rock Star's Rainbow" (ISBN: 978-0-9825466-0-4), a new novel chronicling a recent and mysterious scandal involving one of the nation's most cherished "icons." The far-fetched story begins in August 2009, when a renowned entertainment reporter is thrown out of a plane over Los Angeles.

At the time of his unfortunate death, he was completing a manuscript detailing the strange personal life of the most secretive megastar of our time -- Rook. Luckily, this work in progress was rescued, although the details remain obscure. Now, assembled here is the sought after expose of the infamous rock star, searching for his lost innocence.

The quixotic adventure journeys from L.A., to Amsterdam, to India, and back. Along the way, Rook struggles with celebrity excess, re-ignites with his old flame, gets mixed up with the mafia, and must rescue the daughter he never knew he had. From the heights of hedonism to the depths of despair, this topical parody explores the beast of fame.

Author Kevin Glavin assumes the archaic guise of "editor," connecting the dots of this rather bizarre, reverse coming-of-age novel, "Rock Star's Rainbow."

Glavin, who supposedly found the surviving draft of the book on a plane, was struck by the enigmatic nature of the work while reading it at the roulette table. He decided then and there, after losing on 00, that it was notable and should be made public, and not remain in Vegas. Says the editor: "After consulting with counsel, I have determined that it is worth the gamble to publish this manuscript for the public's enjoyment, edification, and potential horrification."

Review copies and interviews with the author may be arranged upon request.

Available for $14.95 through Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.

For a PDF preview and more information: www.rockstarsrainbow.com and www.kevinglavinpublishing.com.

Kevin Glavin's ancestors hail from the Emerald Isle; he hails from the Windy City. After receiving his BA in English and MAT in English Education from the University of Iowa, he traveled like his forefathers--westward. Mr. Glavin has taught for some thirteen years, mostly at Claremont High School, in Claremont, California.

In December 2009, Mr. Glavin formed his own publishing company to learn the entire art of bringing a work to market, in print and digitally, and to maintain creative freedom. He lives with his wife Brenda in Orange County.

EUREKA, Mont., Dec. 17 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- In his latest book titled, "Saving Eden" (ISBN 13: 978-0-9791293-9-1, EnDeavours Publishing), set in the Tobacco Valley, Montana author David C. Deavours shares a message of environmental awareness through a fictional story full of mystery, adventure, romance and tragedy.

Deavours relocates his main character, Nate Stone, from his Southern Appalachian home and plunges him into the wilds of Montana's Kootenai National Forest, where Nate suddenly finds himself enveloped in an unsolved murder mystery dating in the early 1800's.

Through a collection of enjoyable characters and sequenced flashbacks in time, "Saving Eden" delivers "A story for mystery lovers and a message for everyone," claims Deavours. "I wanted to get people to stop and think about their personal impact on our resources in an entertaining fashion. So I tried to create an interesting scenario and colorful characters to convey my message," says Deavours.

"Folks don't like to be told that they are negatively impacting the planet, which made me believe that sharing these thoughts through an entertaining story makes the information more palatable," Deavours added.

"Saving Eden" (ISBN: 978-0-9791293-9-1) sells for $14.95 and is available on-line at endeavourspublishing.com and several other Web based bookstores including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Books-A-Million.

Deavours says his next publishing project, coincidentally titled, "My Walk with Eden," is a compilation of short stories about the triumphs and trials of the early years of motherhood from author Christie Elkins. Told from a new mother's perspective, "My Walk with Eden" is an honest look into the heart and mind of a mother on a journey to raise her first child while following a path of righteousness in a secular world, "And the lessons that God is teaching them both along the way," says Elkins.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Dec. 1 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The media is saturated with real-life accounts of financial scoundrels such as Madoff, Sanford, and Rothstein making people sadly aware of men who strive to cheat their clients through criminal schemes and outright theft. Such is the story line of husband and wife co-authors Ken and Tammy Brown's "Falling Apart" (ISBN: 9781605943954, Llumina Press). However, the man in this book is innocent.

Set in today's world of financial disintegration, "Falling Apart" is a timely book that depicts the horrors one man faces as his life crumbles to dust and ashes.

The main character, Tyler Holte, is a successful sales executive at the top of his game. But suddenly, his world falls apart and he finds himself at the center of a financial collapse not realized since the Great Depression.

After being framed for depleting personal and business bank accounts all over the U.S., Holte is pursued by the police, FBI, government, and mobs of people. His family turns against him and his teenage daughter defies him and his value system.

In a frantic 48-hour ride for his life, Holte flees from his past, present, and possible death while everyone turns their backs on him - except for one man. Holte quickly learns what he values most in life in this surprising, fast-paced book.

About the Authors:
Ken and Tammy Brown were both born in Oklahoma City, Okla. Ken has an entrepreneurial spirit that sits at the core of his being and has tried numerous activities from writing songs to selling crafts. He is the creator of the Original Cheesecake Sundae and co-invented a vent cap for PVC pipes. However, writing remained a top passion and a song he was working on evolved into a book.

Tammy has always enjoyed working with children. She worked at Children's Medical Center of Dallas and has worked as a substitute teacher for several years. While pursuing a degree in history and education, she interviewed people who lived during the Great Depression. She used that information, along with other research, which aided in the co-authoring of "Falling Apart."

Married for 23 years, Ken and Tammy have three daughters and one son. They are passionate about what they do and find joy in their work and working together.

"Falling Apart" is available from Amazon.com, Baker and Taylor Books, Barnes and Noble, Ingram Book Company; and direct from the publisher, Llumina Press. It is 224 pages; available in hard cover and paperback; and retails for $27.95 and $14.95, respectively.

New Book Helps Women Find Peace and Happiness after Abusive Male Relationship

Author: A Step Beyond Publishing
Dateline: Mon, 30 Nov 2009

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “CANTON, Ohio (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- A Step Beyond Publishing announces its first non-fiction, controversial book: 'I Apologize to All Women in the World - From Man' (ISBN: 978-0-9799724-0-9). The author, Billy Prowell, inspires women to accept their roles as dignified creations of God and to reject the assumed role, imposed by men, of indentured servant.”



A R T I C L E:

CANTON, Ohio, Nov. 30 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- A Step Beyond Publishing announces its first non-fiction, controversial book: "I Apologize to All Women in the World - From Man" (ISBN: 978-0-9799724-0-9). The author, Billy Prowell, inspires women to accept their roles as dignified creations of God and to reject the assumed role, imposed by men, of indentured servant.

This new book provides readers with a process to heal and inspires the wounded to rebuild their lives without harboring hatred in their hearts.

Through a series of steps women will learn how to confront, forgive and define their sense of self. These steps will provide them with the strength to move on with their lives and to improve their moral and spiritual well-being.

"I Apologize to All Women in the World - From Man" redefines the roles of women and men in society.

Through thought-provoking letters and 11 different relationship examples, readers will gain insight into the egotistic behaviors of men and the gullibility of women.

The author contends that these qualities foster destructive behaviors which deter men and women from bonding emotionally. After reading this controversial book, male readers will question their manhood, and women readers will be inspired to admire their emotional strength while simultaneously questioning their sanity and naivete.

The author maintains that man has, consciously and semi-consciously, abused woman verbally, emotionally, physically and even sexually with little or no remorse since the beginning of time.

Man's egotism stems from a lack of knowledge of God, woman and himself. It is improbable that man will understand woman without first understanding God and then himself.

There is, however, an ethnically-diverse group of men who understand God, themselves and woman. These men have psychologically elevated above the barbaric, egotistic, ignorant and prideful man. These men have come to terms with the fact that their old actions were abnormal, disrespectful and demoralizing to women. These men have rehabilitated themselves and offer a heartfelt apology to all women in the world who have been abused in any manner by a man.

About A Step Beyond Publishing:
A Step Beyond Publishing is a Christian-based book and DVD publishing company that focuses on empowering women to rise above abusive and intrusive relationships - platonic, romantic and paternal. The company also works to enlighten men about who they are and what their real purpose is on earth.

New Book Exonerates Thomas Jefferson in DNA Controversy over Slaves and Sally Hemings

Author: William G. Hyland Jr.
Dateline: Thu, 19 Nov 2009

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “TAMPA, Fla. (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- 'In Defense Of Thomas Jefferson' (ISBN: 978-0-312-56100-0), has just been published by St. Martins Press and concerns the major historical controversy surrounding Mr. Jefferson and his slave, Sally Hemings. 'In Defense' definitively destroys the cultural myth that Jefferson had any relationship with Ms. Hemings.”



A R T I C L E:

In this startling and revelatory new book, William G. Hyland Jr. shows not only that the evidence against Jefferson is lacking, but that in fact he is entirely innocent of the charge of having sexual relations with Hemings.

TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 19 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- "In Defense Of Thomas Jefferson" (ISBN: 978-0-312-56100-0), has just been published by St. Martins Press and concerns the major historical controversy surrounding Mr. Jefferson and his slave, Sally Hemings. "In Defense" definitively destroys the cultural myth that Jefferson had any relationship with Ms. Hemings.

The belief that Thomas Jefferson had an affair and fathered a child (or children) with slave Sally Hemings -- and that such an allegation was proven by DNA testing -- has become so pervasive in American popular culture that it is not only widely accepted but taught to students as historical fact. In this startling and revelatory argument, William G. Hyland Jr. shows not only that the evidence against Jefferson is lacking, but that in fact he is entirely innocent of the charge of having sexual relations with Hemings.

A "thorough survey of the scholarly and scientific literature ... Mr. Hyland, a lawyer, presents the historical record carefully and, closer to our day, provides marvelous details of the scholarly empire-building and grantsmanship that go into making 'fact' out of limited evidence -- in this case and others. By the end of 'In Defense of Thomas Jefferson,' it is hard not to conclude that, given the revisionist impulses of American historians today, Jefferson should have put pen to paper after all," says Thomas Lipscomb, The Wall Street Journal.

Available now wherever books are sold. To order, call 1-888-330-8477. "In Defense Of Thomas Jefferson: The Sally Hemings Sex Scandal" by William G. Hyland Jr., in hardcover; $26.95; ISBN-10: 0-312-56100-8; ISBN-13: 978-0-312-56100-0.

‘The Unbearable Sadness of Zilch’ by Konrad Ventana: New Novel Investigates the Loss of Beauty and Inspiration in Hollywood Neo-noir

Author: Konrad Ventana
Dateline: Mon, 16 Nov 2009

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “LOS ANGELES, Calif. (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- From the very first page, to the final departing scene, 'The Unbearable Sadness of Zilch' (ISBN: 9781440158261) by Konrad Ventana is a riveting narrative that shines a detective's flashlight into the darkest of reaches of the human mind. Only this time it is not the usual hard-boiled Private Detective who is called upon to find some hidden Truth, it is the philosophical practitioner or 'Perspicuous Eye' who is called upon to find the lost Beauty.”



A R T I C L E:

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Nov. 16 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- From the very first page, to the final departing scene, "The Unbearable Sadness of Zilch" (ISBN: 9781440158261) by Konrad Ventana is a riveting narrative that shines a detective's flashlight into the darkest of reaches of the human mind. Only this time it is not the usual hard-boiled Private Detective who is called upon to find some hidden Truth, it is the philosophical practitioner or "Perspicuous Eye" who is called upon to find the lost Beauty.

In this latest book release, Ventana takes the reader behind the curtains into the fabulous theatrical world of Hollywood's most accomplished movie moguls, who are striving to embrace the ultimate sources of their creativity, while they struggle with their own psychological demons.

Not since Nathanael West's "The Day of the Locust" and F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Last Tycoon" has Hollywood and the motion picture industry been seen in such a bold and illuminating light. Brimming with sexual intrigue, eye-widening spectacle, and a host of recognizable characters, this latest release by Konrad Ventana sets a new standard of relevance and transcendence in postmodern literary fiction as it raises the bar for visual special effects (VFX).

A must-read anyone who loves Hollywood stories, mystery novels, and classic literature, although the ultra-contemporary setting of this astounding new novel feels like it all happened just yesterday.

A compelling work of social criticism, The Unbearable Sadness of Zilch is a treatise on existentialism, modernism, and the emergence of a radical new brand of feminism: the feminist provocateur. Set in Hollywood Neo-noir, and guided by an intrepid philosophical counselor (or life coach), we investigate The Lost Love of the Latest Tycoon, examining the role of the muse, the magnificent intemperate impulses of the femme fatale, and the allure of the casting couch, as we witness the fall of an empire in the twilight of the egoists.

Blazing with eye-opening drama, keen psychological and insights, and layers of literary pyrotechnics, not to mention VFX, the reader is at once awed and entertained by this post-lux piece de resistance.

About the Author:
Using the pseudonym Konrad Ventana, literally "Bold Counsel through a Window," the author looks behind the scenes at the ideologies of our modern times and examines the potential for future development. This is the second book of The Post-Lux Trilogy (on artistic creativity), the first of which received Editors Choice and Rising Star awards.

Author's Website: www.konradventana.com.

"The Unbearable Sadness of Zilch" (ISBN: 9781440158261) is available from: www.iUniverse.com, www.bn.com, and www.amazon.com .

‘Party Line’ is Certain to Excite the Literary World, May Also Touch the Very Dreams of its Readers

Author: Sageous Press
Dateline: Thu, 12 Nov 2009

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “ALBANY, N.Y. (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Sageous Press has announced the release of 'Party Line' (ISBN: 978-0-578-03593-2). a new novel by Peter A. Luber. This, Luber's second foray into the realm of dreams, establishes a unique vision which serves not only to entertain but to enlighten the reader as to the depths of his or her own consciousness. His first work, 'Oneironauticus,' was published in 2008 by Sageous.”



A R T I C L E:

ALBANY, N.Y., Nov. 12 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Sageous Press has announced the release of "Party Line" (ISBN 978-0-578-03593-2). a new novel by Peter A. Luber. This, Luber's second foray into the realm of dreams, establishes a unique vision which serves not only to entertain but to enlighten the reader as to the depths of his or her own consciousness. His first work, "Oneironauticus," was published in 2008 by Sageous.

The narrative of "Party Line" consists of the dreams of seven troubled, doomed, or inspired individuals. Each dreamer's personality and experience form both the content and style of their respective chapters. This creates a reading environment that truly portrays, rather than simply describes, the nocturnes and relationships of the major characters. Though each character's experience may be presented in a unique manner, the chapters are intertwined thoroughly, allowing a clear linear plot line and overall theme to emerge. Given the familiar clarity of this type of presentation, the reader will not avoid the sensation that they too have experienced the same surreal adventures that Lou, Alice, and their associates endure.

In addition to being a fascinating traditional read, "Party Line" offers another curiosity: its structure and use of deep-seeded archetypes allows the reader to open the book randomly and read any pages found to discover a perfectly unique personal experience. Read either way, "Party Line" offers a unique exploration of dreams, drama, life, death, and the human condition...and it is a great deal of fun! This is one book that should not be missed.

Luber, a life-long student of the metaphysics of dreaming, feels that this book finally represents the dreaming experience that many have tried, and usually failed, to portray in the past. "It needed to be written," he says, "and I hope that when someone finishes my book he'll feel a certain joy that he's not alone after all." Luber, who lives in semi-retirement in Amsterdam, NY, also produces fine art sculptures, which can be viewed at his website, www.sageous.com.

"Party Line" (ISBN 978-0-578-03593-2) and "Oneironauticus" (ISBN 978-0-6151-8290-2) are available online at Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com, or via download in e-book form from Lulu.com. Feel free to sample his other work as well; you will not be disappointed.

Cookbook Challenges ‘Good Taste’ in Defense of Free Speech and International Rights

Author: Natural Harvest Publishing
Dateline: Thu, 05 Nov 2009

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- If you have never heard of 'Natural Harvest,' the only semen-based cookbook currently on the market, you are not alone. Despite international media attention, 'Natural Harvest' (ISBN: 9781424314614) has managed to stay under the mainstream radar - but just barely. That may be about to change with a nomination for the Gourmand World Cookbook Award, a prestigious international recognition of exceptional and groundbreaking culinary literature.”

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Nov. 5 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- If you have never heard of "Natural Harvest," the only semen-based cookbook currently on the market, you are not alone. Despite international media attention, "Natural Harvest" (ISBN: 9781424314614) has managed to stay under the mainstream radar - but just barely. That may be about to change with a nomination for the Gourmand World Cookbook Award, a prestigious international recognition of exceptional and groundbreaking culinary literature.

What started as a dinner party discussion among friends was eventually transformed into a glossy full color cookbook; one that has become one of the most popular items available from internet publisher Lulu.com at over 2 million unique visitors since its release. With over 1,500 books sold, copies of "Natural Harvest" have made their way across the world, from Italian translators to a women's book club in Singapore; even to Saudi Arabia, where a copy was shipped incognito directly from the author to evade government censors. The book has been particularly popular in Canada and France where journalists and independent media have tracked its success with fascination.

Independent and user-driven media has had a field day with "Natural Harvest." Photenhauer himself has given over 20 radio and news interviews with bloggers and journalists around the world. Comments on blogs and media sites run the gamut from humor to disgust to genuine appreciation. Often they are intertwined with thoughtful debates about the importance of free speech and the need for tolerance in modern and diverse societies. That the internet has made this discussion international has only emphasized the significance of the argument: an emphasis that will be on display at next year's Paris Cookbook fair, where the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards are presented, with their focus on international rights.

The popularity of the cookbook has surprised many people, including its author, Paul Photenhauer, a longtime resident of San Francisco, California and self proclaimed "foodie."

"I have received countless emails from people who thought they were alone in cooking with semen, but were relieved and happy to discover not only a cookbook, but a growing community of culinary enthusiasts," Photenhauer explains. A third edition is already in the works, with new and improved recipes submitted by fans of the cookbook.

BOWIE, Md., Oct. 27 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Mind Wings Audio, an audio publishing company, introduces a new market for fiction - the one hour audio story CD. The audio books are available in CD, MP3 download, and Kindle Editions (including iPod and iPhone).

These one hour audio story CDs, designed for ages 18 and up, have the potential to become the entertainment of choice for multi-taskers, commuters, travelers, professional truckers, housekeepers, gardeners or exercisers - basically anyone who has the desire to be entertained while engaged in another task. They are also perfect for the visually impaired.

Mary Gould, founder, is a self-proclaimed audio book junkie and owns more than seven dozen audio books. Not a fan of flying, she first became addicted to audio books while driving. Listening to these audio books kept her alert and made the drives fun and interesting.

Sources for stories are unpublished manuscripts written by contemporary authors with histories of published works and/or exceptional talent. Audio story categories are not limited, but criteria for acceptance are. All stories must be captivating, compelling and consuming.

"Our short story audio singles keep pace with the fast-moving lifestyle of today and provide a new publishing market for the longer story," says Gould.

"Our intent is to introduce our short story audios to a new group of listeners; individuals who have smaller windows of time for listening or who just want to enjoy a short story in audio format."

Popular CDs currently include: "Darktown Strutters" by L.A. Wilson, Jr., a tale where the main character is in love with his boss's girlfriend, and he plays one adversary against the other in a scheme to save his life and to keep the woman he loves; and "Rumors" - a suspense/thriller - by E. Jean Beres, where a small-town lawyer is fed up with a local businessman; he envies the power he wields and has a plan to get the position he wants.
