'Authors and Technology', a BlogTalkRadio show hosted by Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, invites experts in technology to discuss the future, which is happening now. The interview, a regular segment also featured at 'Authors Speaking' will air March 1, 2012
On March 1, Dr. Holstein will interview Anthony Michalski (Tony), the founder and owner of Kallisti Publishing — the premiere publisher and provider of top quality motivational, instructional, and personal development products, materials, experiences, and events that improve peoples’ lives. The interview will center on how technology is influencing the world of books and how technology has transformed every aspect of traditional book marketing. The show will be archived at 'Authors Speaking'. 'Authors Speaking', developed by Dr. Holstein, brings authors together with librarians, educators and bookclubs through virtual author visits using Skype technology.
"In this world of millions of websites," stated Dr. Holstein, "it's nice to have one place where authors, librarians, teachers, book clubs, and bloggers can all come together to find each other. The virtual world is waiting, but still the links have to be made. For example, let's say you are a librarian in Idaho and you are looking for an author to come and talk about flowering shrubs at a Senior Book Hour. You don't have to just invite the local florist. An author who lives in Maine and has written a book on plants can be at your doorstep, via Skype, for the next meeting. All that needs to happen is communication. And that is easy with AuthorsSpeaking. Authors display their books and their talents by sharing their trailers, video interviews, notices of speaking engagements, etc. Librarians and other jjoin also and post what that are looking for. Authors find librarians. Librarians find authors and the interviews are scheduled. It is a win-win for everyone."
'Authors Speaking' encourages authors to make virtual visits to classrooms, libraries, bookclubs and bookstores through Skype and other forms of technology. 'Authors Speaking' gives authors and publishers the opportunity to upload photos, bios, book covers, video and book videos. The site also offers discussion forums, segmented special interest groups and allows for event listings. Each author can develop a personalized page. In addition the site allows for integration with Facebook and Twitter.
Dr. Holstein's interview with Anthony Michalski will be broadcast live on Thursday, March 1 at 4pm Eastern. The public is invited to call in to the show with questions or comments at (424) 222-5203.
'Authors Speaking' is also hosting the First International Book Video Competition. The competition is open for entries. A teleseminar series 'Confronting and Realistically Dealing With Technology, The Future is NOW! How to Grab theTechnology Tiger by the Tail and Run With It' will soon be available. Dr. Holstein and invited experts will help quiet anxieties, while sharing knowledge and expertise that will help authors, librarians and book club hosts, move forward with modern technologies such as Skype. Details on this teleseminar series will follow soon.

Author Adrianne Sainte Eve Releases 'Horizontal Collaborator', Female Spy Novel Set In Europe during WWI
Sainte Eve’s newest novel, set during WWI, details the story of Violette, a rare female spy who becomes a double agent for France
Author Adrianne Sainte Eve has released ‘Horizontal Collaborator’. The novel tells the tale of Violette, a rare female spy who engages in espionage for France during WWI. The main character in the new novel is reminiscent of Mata Hari. Adrianne Sainte-Eve is considered to be one of today's best spy authors and this newest book gives readers the opportunity to vicariously live the end of the Golden Age as the storyline follows female spy Violette on her journey from Madrid to Budapest and through the great Austro-Hungarian Empire.
“I wrote this book,” stated Sainte Eve, “as during WW1 the French and Germans regularly used women as espionage agents, thinking they had a natural talent for seduction and deception. It is a little known fact that some of the best spies were women. This is proven by the reality that we know very little about them; most of their true identities were never discovered.“
In a review of ‘Horizontal Collaborator’, Allister Lang of All Books Considered stated, “Her characters are full of life and well thought out. Both bizarre and sublime, Sainte-Eve’s characters are geographically spread yet tightly connected. She seems to have gone to great lengths to research the social mores and class structures of that time period, which adds to the richness of her work. This novel was a pleasure to read. I’m looking forward to Sainte-Eve’s next book."
“Fans of female spy novels will enjoy this book,” stated Ms. Sainte Eve, “in that it is an insight into the personalities of the major players in the biggest drama of the century. We see that they are really just ordinary people who lived during the fall of the golden age and were driven by their circumstances, whether they are aristocrats or ordinary peasants.”
Adrianne Sainte Eve is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at sainteeve@yahoo.com. More information is available at her website. ‘Horizontal Collaborator’ is available at Amazon.com in hardback, paperback and Kindle formats.
Profile:
Author Adrianne Sainte-Eve was born in Budapest Hungary, and spent her childhood in, Quebec City, Quebec, Regina, Saskatchewan, and Vancouver, B.C.
She is a graduate of the Art Institute of Chicago and earned her MBA from Northern Illinois University. Adrianne currently lives in Chicago, Illinois.

Author Rusty Blackwood Releases New Children's Book For Parents And Grandparents, 'Through The Eyes Of Innocence'
Canadian Author Rusty Blackwood has announced the release of her new children's book, 'Through The Eyes Of Innocence'. Blackwood hopes the book will help parents and grandparents connect with children and grandchildren though reliving memories of their own childhood
Acclaimed Canadian author Rusty Blackwood, author of the 'Passion In Paris' series, has announced the release of her new children's book, 'Through The Eyes Of Innocence'. The book is a collection of short stories based on her experiences growing up in rural Ontario, Canada.
"Our childhood warrants more than we realize with regard to who we become as adults," says Rusty wholeheartedly. "A child who was allowed to laugh, explore, and use their imagination was a child that often followed their dreams, and in doing so, became whatever they so desired, as opposed to a child who was discouraged; taught only to believe in the negative. In that unfortunate scenario, the outcome as an adult can often prove an unwelcoming existence."
'Through the Eyes of Innocence', cover-image exclusively photographed by upcoming, creative photographer, Miss Carson Doan, is a collection of imaginative short stories for children as well the young at heart who still wish to touch the child dwelling inside each of us. There is nothing more innocent than a child and the way they look at the world with a curious mind filled to the brim with exciting adventure, whimsical imagination, and endless wonder. A child truly does look at the world in their own way, and within a special time that is all their own. This unique collection contains intricately woven tales stemming from Ms. Blackwood's imagination, as well based in part on her own childhood growing up in the 1950s on her paternal grandfather's farm in rural Ontario, Canada.
"I wrote these stories," relayed Ms. Blackwood, "primarily for my own children and grandchildren to gain insight into my childhood; possibly know the child I once was. It was important to me, for I feel it helps to bring family closer by experiencing, through words the happenings of those who came before." Rusty further states, "Through sharing my stories with parents and grandparents who might possibly obtain copies for their children and grandchildren, it might provide a window to remember their own childhood, and hopefully if they do, it will signal a smile."
Rusty Blackwood has written an eclectic array of Contemporary and Traditional poetry, publishing her first collection in October of 2009 entitled, ‘Feelings: A Rhythmic Journey in Thought’. This was followed in April of 2010 by a collection of assorted short stories for children as well the young at heart entitled, ‘Young Minds’.
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 and will be followed by the intriguing drama, ‘Net of Lies’.
Rusty Blackwood is available for interview in the Toronto area and can be reached using the information below. Ms. Blackwood’s titles are available at Amazon.com, Createspace and at her website. More information regarding her work is available at the site. Ms. Blackwood also holds a monthly drawing for copies of her works. A signup form is also available at her website.

Rusty Blackwood resides in St. Catharines, Ontario and is the author of a number of romance novels, poetry books and children's books.
