Eric DelaBarre, Author Of 'Saltwater Taffy', Now Appearing On The Book Marketing Show

Don McCauley recently interviewed Eric DelaBarre, author and award winning filmmaker, on a segment of The Book Marketing Show. The show is airing currently at The Book Marketing Show site.

Don McCauley interviewed Eric DelaBarre recently for a segment of  The Book Marketing Show. Eric DelaBarre is the author of 'Saltwater Taffy'.

His work has been sold around the world and showcased on HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, Starz/Encore, USA Networks, and NBC.  He is past president of the Boys & Girls Club Council of Santa Monica and travels the country talking to kids about literacy and their potential in life.

Patty Wiseman, Author Of ‘An Unlikely Arrangement’, To Appear On KETK News, Tyler TX, On May 1, 2012

Wiseman will talk about her latest historical romance novel, ‘An Unlikely Arrangement’. The interview will air at 11:40 am Central. Wiseman has also released her appearance schedule for the month of May 2012

Author Patty Wiseman will appear on Texas news station KETK News to discuss her latest historical romance novel, ‘An Unlikely Arrangement’, on May 1, 2012 at 11:40 am Central time. As a romance novelist, Wiseman has been called a ‘master of the unexpected twist’ who produces contagious storylines. In ‘An Unlikely Arrangement’, three lives intertwine through the differing worlds of high society, middle-class life, and organized crime, culminating in an engagement, a kidnapping, a misunderstanding and a murder. The story is set in 1929 Detroit.

“I wrote this book,” stated Ms. Wiseman, “because my fascination with the era that redefined modern womanhood, The Roaring Twenties, had a personal meaning for me. The main character is fashioned from my grandmother’s arranged marriage in a dangerous time in Detroit, Michigan. I spin the tale of a strong willed woman trying to take charge of her own destiny, and mix in mystery, unusual twists, and romance.”

Patty Wiseman is the daughter of a WWII Navy vet who survived Pearl Harbor. She was raised in Washington State, attended The Wesleyan College in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, then moved to Northeast Texas where she has resided for over 30 years. Several of her short stories have been published in 'Angie's Diary'. 'An Unlikely Arrangement', an historical romance novel, was published with Desert Coyote Productions. There are two more in the works. One is a romantic comedy. Her most recent award is a 2012 Roughdraft short story contest where she placed 2nd.

Wiseman will be making a number of appearances in the Tyler Texas area in coming weeks. Her appearance and book signing schedule includes:

April 27  --  1:30pm - 4:30pm  --  Waskom Library  --  Waskom TX
May 4  --  10am - 12pm  --  Pittsburg Library  --  Pittsburg TX
May 11  --  10am - 1pm  --  Athens Library  --  Athens TX
May 12  --  2pm - 5-pm  --  McAlisters Deli  --  Athens TX
May 25  --  10am - 2pm  --  Something Special  --  Daingerfield TX

“Readers will enjoy this book,” Wiseman continued, “if they like suspense, romance, and elements of history woven into a compelling story. The twists and turns are totally unexpected, and the ending will leave them breathless. This is the first of a series of three books. If readers enjoy an ongoing saga, they will definitely enjoy this series.”

Patty Wiseman is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below, or by email at patty_wiseman1966@yahoo.com. More information is available at her website. ‘An Unlikely Arrangement’ is available at Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble and at her website.

Annette Langer, Author Of 'Healing Through Humor', Chosen As Spotlighted Volunteer By Pleasanton CA Police Department

April is National Volunteer Month. Annette Langer was recently chosen as the first police volunteer to be spotlighted by the Pleasanton CA Police Department. Ms. Langer is a breast cancer survivor, a brain injury survivor, and the author of ‘Healing through Humor: Change Your Focus, Change Your Life’ and ‘A Funny Thing Happened on My Way to the World.’

April is National Volunteer month. Author Annette Langer was recently selected by the Pleasanton CA Police Department, profiling her duties as a police volunteer. Langer is the author of 'Healing through Humor: Change Your Focus, Change Your Life' and 'A Funny Thing Happened on My Way to the World: Diary of A Fearless Travel Agent'. Ms. Langer will combine her work as a police volunteer and her writing skills in her forthcoming book about her experiences of the last seven years as a police volunteer.

“I was so honored to be selected as the first of our twenty-five VIPS (Volunteers in Police Service) to be spotlighted each month. This new project of recognition will assist newer police officers and those who don’t work closely with us to learn more about us and our varied backgrounds,” Langer says. The notice hangs in a prominent spot on the police bulletin board beginning April, National Volunteer Month.

In May 2005, Annette became a volunteer for the Pleasanton Police Department and currently serves on patrol and in the Investigations Division.  She performs administrative duties in the Crime Prevention Unit and assists the Criminal Investigations Unit with the Juvenile Diversion program and with research for complex financial crime cases. She received a Special Recognition award from the Chief of Police in 2006 and was named Police Volunteer of the Year in 2008.

As an author, Langer initially wrote just for herself to create a personal record of all the medical experiences she's had, from brain injury to breast cancer. She thought others might benefit from her positive outlook in order to help overcome their own challenges. As a result, 'Healing through Humor: Change Your Focus, Change Your Life' was born. Published in 2005, the book has become an important catalyst in helping others focus on matters other than the physical obstacles they may be facing. Through her lectures at various hospitals, assisted living centers, community venues, and bookstores, she readily demonstrates her philosophy on life: The world is your oyster—go make a pearl. Her personal stories encompass humor and inspire others to create their own life treasures by developing their ability to recognize their own resilience through the power of positive thinking.

If she were to have a second philosophy on life, it would be simply: Life goes on. Langer's positive outlook is grounded once again in her second book, 'A Funny Thing Happened on My Way to the World, Diary of a Fearless Travel Agent', published in 2010. Her stories detail many comical, unusual and, at times, sobering situations in which she's found herself during her travels to all seven continents. She balances her tales of adventure with a multitude of funny anecdotes, displaying her characteristic positive outlook when facing challenges.

Her forthcoming book to be released in late 2012 details her activities as a volunteer for her local police department. "Eyes and Ears”—Police Volunteers will recount many of the humorous as well as somber experiences she and her volunteer partners have had over the years while performing their duties. An excerpt titled 'Crime Fighter' can be found in the August 23, 2011, issue of 'Chicken Soup for the Soul: Inspiration for the Young at Heart'.

Langer is also a frequent contributor to anthologies, online magazines, and blogs. Her most recent offering titled 'A Long and Bumpy Road to Relief' will appear in the May 22, 2012, issue of 'Chicken Soup for the Soul: Say Goodbye to Back Pain'.

“Being a police volunteer is so rewarding,” says Langer. “I want to share my experiences with people who may be unaware of how far-reaching and gratifying it can be to give back to the community in an unexpected way. Whether working inside the police station or patrolling the city in a police car with a volunteer partner, this experience is both gratifying and exhilarating.”

Annette Langer is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below, or by email at alanger2@gmail.com. 'Healing through Humor: Change Your Focus, Change Your Life' and 'A Funny Thing Happened on My Way to the World' are available in both print and e-book formats at Amazon.com, Smashwords.com and major book retailers. Personally autographed first-edition copies of her books are available through her website.

Profile:

Annette Langer is originally from Chicago and has lived in Pleasanton CA since 1998.  She spent a rewarding career in a variety of Federal Government jobs from court reporter to office manager. In May 2005 Annette became a volunteer for the Pleasanton Police Department and currently serves on patrol and in the Investigations Division. She performs administrative duties in the Crime Prevention Unit and assists the Criminal Investigations Unit with the Juvenile Diversion program and with research for complex financial crime cases. She has been a successful published author since 2005.

"This is the way," stated Rusty, "I originally wanted and pictured it being done. It's like a child, one's first born, where every tiny nuisance is important, the way it's presented, and the way it's handled. Combing a major length manuscript into detailed synopsis is no small task, but one which is both needed, and required. An author views each step they take as a step toward success and accomplishment in the field of writing as well the need to satisfy the muse within. 'Passion in Paris', which is groomed and ready to meet the public under its new title "Passion in Paris: Revelations of a Lost Diary",  truly feels like giving birth to a wondrous creation with characters born out of my own blood, sweat, and tears and let to find their way in a world that I hope will receive them well, and find them and their respective stories both fulfilling, and worth remembering."

In celebration of the manuscript's completion, Ms. Blackwood will be appearing on May 12th. at Seaway Mall COLES in Welland, Ontario Canada and on May 19th. at Pen Centre COLES in St. Catharines, Ontario. Canada.

This title was re-released with additional content through CreateSpace Publishing in 2011 under the title, "Impressions: Poetic Rhythm in Emotion". Feelings was followed in April of 2010 by a collection of assorted short stories for children as well the young at heart, entitled,"Young Minds"  which was later re-released with new added content through CreateSpace Publishing in 2011 entitled, "Through the Eyes of Innocence."

Her first venture into the competitive world of main-stream fiction was a long time in the making, but was finally realized in early October 2010 with the release of her debut romance novel, ‘Passion in Paris: Connections to the Past’, the first of two in the ongoing romance/drama. The second part, a romance novel entitled, ‘Passion in Paris: Directions of the Heart’ was released in May 2011.
