New Publishing Company Brings Rich Stories of Africa to the Young and Young at Heart

PHOENIX, Ariz. -- A longtime education professional with a passion for fiction is announcing the launch of a brand-new publishing company with a focus on young adult adventure fiction targeting readers of all ages. Former high school teacher, university adjunct and current curriculum developer manager for higher institutions, Joan Cheboswony is the founder of Worlds Unknown Publishers, a new self-publishing firm created to provide a platform for sharing stories about Africa, her people, cultures, and expansive natural beauty.

"Our books give voice to the rich and vibrant stories of 1.3 billion African people," Cheboswony said. "Our lineup of titles is sure to capture the hearts and imaginations of even the most reluctant teen readers."

Cheboswony, a resident of Phoenix and a native of the village of Kipniwai, Kenya, was motivated to curate a collection of African-themed books to ignite the curiosity and passion of young people craving literary encounters with fascinating and real youth from around the world, whose experiences are simultaneously relatable and yet completely foreign to them.

As an immigrant, Cheboswony was exposed to different cultures through books, which helped her navigate cross-cultural communication and created a hunger in her to explore "worlds unknown."

Her mission with Worlds Unknown Publishers is to partner with authors from Africa to develop and publish high-quality fictional books for young adults. The current lineup of authors includes titles by Erick Ngoda, Muthoni wa Gichuru, Emily Wekulo, Moraa Gitaa, Newton Mudaki, Maria Ngoda, and Goro wa Kamau.

One of the company's newly released books, "Let's Talk About This" by Moraa Gitaa, centers on two young girls from different cultural backgrounds in Nairobi, Kenya who meet at the Angels of Mercy Girl's Crisis Centre the morning after both have suffered the trauma of rape. "Let's Talk About This" is an engaging YA novella that recounts an end-of-the-year school party gone wrong while addressing issues of sexual trauma and forced child marriages.

Cheboswony said, "'Let's Talk About This' is just one example of her publishing company's engaging and boundary-pushing books, each one filled with authentic characters and relatable stories from around Africa."

Another example is "Ward Nine" by Emily Wekulo, a story of wealth, power, and mental illness centering on characters tangled in twisted cultural beliefs.

"Our authors' characters are vivid and very real," Cheboswony said. "Readers will lose themselves in the pages of these books. They will barely notice how long it took to get to the last page of each one."

Mom of Three Autistic Boys Pens Book About Navigating the Pandemic and Sobriety with Grit, Humor and Love

LONG ISLAND, N.Y. -- The global pandemic has average parents becoming teachers, referees, cooks, therapists, and so much more. One mother, Melanie Donus, took on the extra challenges of parenting three autistic boys while leaping into sobriety and published a book about the experience.

"I suddenly found myself in sink or swim mode and had to find a creative outlet to alleviate stress. Writing letters to my mom helped me cope with our suddenly upside down world and provided a soothing sense of calm, inspiration and motivation, Donus said." Her efforts soared in the ranks during pre-sale giving her an Amazon "Best Selling Author" badge.

"Leaning On Mom: Letters to Roberta, How a Mom of Three with Autism Found Strength During the Pandemic" (ISBN: 978-0578741789) provides a raw and humorous window into the world of author Melanie Donus, who could be viewed as the next Marvel superhero. In this collection of letters to her own mother, Roberta, Melanie shares what day-to-day life was like for her and her family during the first four months of the coronavirus pandemic.

Donus has "three boys who are quite different, but all who need their routine, structure, education, treatment, school, and therapists. Suddenly, Melanie had to be all those things," says Ray Cepeda, Founder and Director of ABAskills, who wrote the Foreword for Leaning on Mom.

"Please be extra kind to an ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) mom if you see her in the community over the next few months. Getting 'back to normal' is not in our vocabulary," Donus says.

The scenes in "Leaning on Mom" move quickly and reveal the endless questions, epic meltdowns, musical Zoom calls, behavior challenges, and heart-wrenching moments that show Donus' boys regressing before her eyes. Her journey through the decision process and arrangements for one of her boys to relocate to an out-of-state residential school is particularly moving.

"Leaning on Mom" is NOT, however all "doom and gloom." Donus details her challenge unfriending "Donna" (code for chardonnay) and includes stories of miracles, heroes, and unexpected acts of kindness. Donus dedicates the book to herself not to reflect narcissism but as a way to shine a light on the enormous responsibilities of those who give 200 percent to their autistic children, leaving little time for themselves. She recognizes that this can result in isolation, loneliness, and a reliance on alcohol as a best friend; and shares her pandemic journey to sobriety, the second pivotal point in her life when she turned away from alcohol.

These un-sugarcoated scenes from the real life of a resilient and resourceful mom as she navigates unprecedented challenges will educate readers about Autism Spectrum Disorder and inspire them to find their own inner strength. This snapshot in time is one for the history books.

ABOUT MELANIE DONUS

Melanie Donus is the proud mother of three school-aged children, Dimitri (17), Michael (17), and Maxx (12), who all have Autism Spectrum Disorder and three very different profiles of abilities and challenges. She lives on Long Island, New York, with her husband Andrew. "Leaning on Mom" is Melanie's first book and became a pre-sale Best Seller on Amazon.

Green Kid Crafts launches Kitchen Table STEAM to Support Families This Fall

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- As families transition from summer activities to virtual, in-person, or hybrid schooling this fall, many caregivers are concerned about providing their children with activities that are fun and educational. Green Kid Crafts, a subscription box service centered on STEAM and nature-based activities, launched their Kitchen Table STEAM program on September 2 to give families extra support this fall.

The campaign color, pink, was chosen for its reference to the fireweed plant. Fireweed is often the first plant to regrow after a forest fire or volcanic eruption, making it a symbol of hope for families during this trying time.

"Coming up with fun, STEAM-based activities can be challenging even in normal times," said Founder and CEO Penny Bauder. "Caregivers don't have time to scroll through search results or go shopping for supplies. We want to alleviate the investment it takes to get started and bring exactly what families need to provide engaging hands-on activities right to their door."

Jessica Whiting, a mom of two, was familiar with these struggles as she tried to work full time and provide quick activities for her daughters. "Everything we needed for each activity was in the box, and the kids had a ton of fun," she explained. "We could quickly do these activities in between meetings and phone calls and everybody was happy. These boxes will stay in the rotation for sure!"

Caregivers like Whiting are ready for this fall's Kitchen Table STEAM program, which includes four STEAM-based activity boxes designed by experts to meet the learning needs of specific age groups.

Additionally, subscribers will receive supplemental materials, including access to:
* Ask-a-Scientist sessions
* YouTube videos with activity inspiration from real parents
* Additional learning opportunities related to each box, including DIY activities, podcast, video and book recommendations

Caregivers will also have an opportunity to submit their child's artwork to our Kitchen Table Show and Tell, hosted by CEO Penny Bauder.

About Green Kid Crafts:

Green Kid Crafts is a subscription box service that provides educational STEAM and nature-based activities that help kids connect, communicate and build relationships. Projects and ideas are researched and tested, saving families time and money on at-home activities. The organization has recently been honored with top Industry Awards: Parents Choice Award(R) and NCW Eco-Excellence Award(R). https://www.greenkidcrafts.com/awards

Designer and TV Personality Cary Weldy Launches New Book: ‘The Power of Tattoos’

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Why do some shapes in art increase aggression? Can a sun tattoo create inflammation in the body? What makes black, the most popular color of tattoos and fashion, statistically the worst color to wear for cultivating happiness, attracting love, winning in sports, and achieving success? In his groundbreaking new book, Cary Weldy discusses how the science of art - including the lines, shapes, colors, patterns, and symbology in a single tattoo or art piece on the wall - dramatically changes one's life experience.

From his energy-based approach to art and interior design to his appearances on HGTV, readers familiar with Cary Weldy will appreciate his new offering, in which he speaks to both the tattooed enthusiast and art aficionado. He launched his second book "The Power of Tattoos: Twelve Hidden Energy Secrets of Body Art Every Tattooed Enthusiast Should Know" in paperback worldwide on Aug. 23, 2020, on Amazon.com. Within three days, the book became a #1 new release on Amazon worldwide, as well as in the top-selling 100 books among 50,000 titles on tattoos and fashion globally.

"While working with clients and their art over the past two decades, I noticed something rather startling," says Weldy. "Artwork usually reflects the personal stories of our past. But curiously, our art also creates our future. With tattoos, it is even more profound. The longer we are near a piece of art, the more we go into resonance with the energy and information radiating from the colors, shapes, lines, patterns, and symbology in a single image. The time we are exposed to an image matters."

"In 1889, Oscar Wilde wrote that life imitates art far more than art imitates life," Weldy explains. "As a trained chemical engineer who believes in science, I wanted to put Wilde's theory to the test to find out how our art shapes our lives. For six years, I interviewed dozens of inked enthusiasts all over the world and dug into the research about the science of art. It is true that every piece of art we are around affects us, much like being near a friend. Science confirms that when we are around a happy or sad friend, we begin to resonate with his or her energy. After we absorb it, we become it."

"For example, the most popular color in fashion is black, which is also the top color used to ink tattoos," Weldy says. "Despite its widespread popularity and belief that black is the 'power color,' wearing it has rather devastating consequences. Studies show the color black increases aggression, evokes anxiety and depression, and adversely impacts the immune system. In sports, black is the #1 losing color."

"In nature, however, most living things are rich in vibrant color, and what little in nature that is black usually has a destructive, deadening quality to it - including mold, tooth decay, many cancers, burned wood, volcanic ash, coal, ants, crows, black bears, skunks, frostbite, and decaying meat," Weldy adds. "This color is an energetic black hole that absorbs light, heat, and other energy forms. Simply said, black radiates the energy of destruction and death."

"Red, on the other hand, has been shown to be the winning color, hands down," Weldy explains. "For centuries, Pranic Feng Shui practitioners have observed that the color red has an expansive quality, versus the contracting quality of black that is much like an energy vampire. Red has been shown to make people more attractive, elevate test scores for students, and give sports teams the winning edge. Since 1946, English football teams have won more games than they lost when wearing red, and another study revealed that between 1940 and 2013, the color of NCAA uniforms for the top-performing teams was rarely black. In fact, the winning teams wore red. Global companies, such as McDonald's, Target, and Coca-Cola, successfully use red to create a clear advantage in a competitive marketplace."

In Weldy's new book, readers will also learn:

* The 12 elements of art that change one's destiny, including color, shape, symbolism, proximity to an image, length of exposure, quantity of tattoos, and how widely distributed an image is.

* Which symbols in art can attract success, and which symbols invite negative experiences.

* How some shapes promote harmony, positive emotions, and prosperity, while other shapes such as sharp angles found in many tattoos escalate stress, aggression, and other negative emotions, as research confirms. "These studies explain why getting more than three or four tattoos usually results in increased aggression, anxiety, substance abuse, and other health issues," Weldy says.

About the Author:

Cary Weldy is an experienced interior designer, builder, and accomplished leader in advertising, PR, and branding in Fortune 500 companies. With his education in engineering and extensive studies in dowsing and subtle energy over the past 30 years, he brings rare insight and knowledge in how energy from art, media, and architecture influences people's lives. In his global consulting practice, Weldy provides practical solutions to individuals and corporate clients to transform the energy in their homes, workplaces, products, and media.

For more than 25 years, Cary Weldy has studied the secrets of the masters of art, architecture, and energy, including Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Vitruvius, Plato, and the ancient Egyptian temple masters. Since 1991, he has extensively studied energy and healing modalities around the country, with certifications in Polarity Energy work, QiGong, Reconnective Therapy with Herwig and Kerstin Schoen, Advanced Pranic Healing with Master Co, and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) with Steve Shields and Kay Phillips.

In 2011, Weldy published his first book entitled "Spiritual Values in the Workplace: The Soul of Success in the 21st Century" with Hay House's Balboa Press, where he discusses energy in the business environment. In addition to numerous appearances on HGTV, TLC, and other networks, he appears on TV and radio shows, conducts seminars and workshops, and speaks at conferences. In 2012, he created, produced, and hosted a TV show called "Sacred Spaces," achieving three Accolade awards.

KINONA launches Queen of the Green, a unique VIP Program designed to inspire and uplift

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Queen of the Green, a VIP program developed by women's golf fashion brand KINONA, aims to reward loyal customers while giving back to women-led causes.

Women's fashion trailblazer KINONA started from humble beginnings. Dianne Celuch and Tami Fujii were used to being the only women golfers at corporate events. But they didn't want to dress like the men they saw on the green, and together dreamed up a women's golf fashion brand that featured chic patterns, sustainable materials, and comfortable fits.

Developing their VIP program, Queen of the Green, was a lifelong dream for the brand. It intersected with their passion for supporting causes that uplift and inspire women in their communities and around the world. And as the women's golf community has supported them, Fujii and Celuch are ready to start supporting their community.

"We don't just want to give customers points," said Fujii. "We want to wow them. We want to honor them. We want them to feel like the Queens they are."

The program features a points system where customers earn 1 point for every $1 they spend during the calendar year. Shoppers qualify after reaching 800 points, and rewards include exclusive events, early access to new releases, and the opportunity to direct a $100 donation to a non-profit organization that helps women achieve more in sports and in life.

"We're proud to bring women together and do something great for the community at the same time," explained Celuch.

GreatVet – New Platform Revolutionizing Pet Owner and Veterinarian Relationships

CHICAGO, Ill. -- With the rise of pet ownership and with Vet Clinics being a critical service to the well being and health of pet families, the GreatVet platform aims to digitally facilitate smooth, transparent and trusted interactions between pet owners and local vet clinics. Through an online directory of veterinary providers and a proprietary quality and matching algorithm, GreatVet helps pet owners find and book with the best veterinarian for their unique needs while helping vet clinics showcase their quality and care strategies to grow their patient population.

Already making waves in nine major cities including New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, the directory is growing rapidly, with vets and pet owners set to be connected in 50 major urban areas by mid-September and 150-200 cities in the next 6 months. Featuring around 4500+ clinics on the platform at present, GreatVet will grow to represent at least 5 times more veterinarian clinics, animal hospital and specialty clinics in the next 6 months, with the goal of being the largest platform committed to helping veterinarians and patients find the highest quality care.

With so many variables to consider, from distance and emergency hours, to reputation and services offered, choosing the right veterinarian can be an overwhelming process. Pet owners can use the platform to search and find veterinarians in their local area that meet their specific needs. They can access key information about each practice such as care philosophy, practice reputation, clinical services, emergency services, hours and contact details, as well as the ability to seamlessly book an appointment online.

The platform also allows users to 'vet' their veterinarian with the GreatVet reputation score, which combines review data from Google, Facebook and Yelp, in addition to in-platform reviews Additionally veterinarian and clinic profiles highlight services, specializations and accreditations that also contribute to the GreatVet reputation score to help build relationships that suit everyone's unique needs and showcase clinical quality.

GreatVet also has a proprietary clinic verification system that highlights the highest quality partners, accredditing vets and practices who have been personally interviewed and verified by GreatVet to further drive quality in finding the best partner for their pet's needs.

"As a pet owner, and my pets being my lifeline, I realized that finding a quality veterinarian and clinic is critical but can be difficult. Sometimes online information is often conflicting, unreliable, and there isn't a dedicated and trusted resource to get veterinarian driven and led information to help guide your decision-making process. The concept of GreatVet was essentially to provide an innovative solution to this problem, to help both consumers and veterinarians alike find a perfect match to their needs," explained Managing Director and serial entrepreneur Elyse Obron, when asked about the concept behind GreatVet.

Veterinarians using GreatVet are able to take advantage of a platform dedicated to help them extend their voice and grow their practice. Clinics get access to important metrics such as their profile visits and number of new patients driven as well as tools to help monitor third party reviews, and the ability to use the platform as an effective online scheduling manager. A core service to clinics is also GreatVet's Verification Program.

Clinics and veterinarians are interviewed and share enhanced clinical and service related information to highlight the quality and authority in their care strategy. Veterinarians providing the best care to their customers will be displayed as 'top vets' in their local areas, with high GreatVet scores, verified profiles with enhanced data, and earned marketing badges to help market their quality and differentiate themselves from their competition. All helping to generate trust, driving new relationships with pet owners and providing a boost to their online bookings to help grow their practice.

The platform is designed to be veterinarian led, reward great service, high quality care and is committed to broadcasting a vet's value to the community.
