Release of 'The Truth, Diary of a Gutsy Tween', by Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, Scheduled For July 1, 2014
Sky Pony Press will release Dr. Holstein's very popular book for tweens, "The Truth I'm a Girl, I'm Smart and I Know Everything". The re-release is scheduled for July 1
An expanded and updated edition of "The Truth: I'm a Girl, I'm Smart and I Know Everything" will be released by Sky Pony Press on July 1, 2014. The book has been retitled to "The Truth, Diary of a Gutsy Tween".
Dr Holstein's novel is a fictional diary, written by an 11 year old girl, for girls, tweens and teens. The novel centers on the development of self-esteem and resiliency.
"Of course there are other diary books out for girls and tweens and even boys," Dr. Holstein stated. "But the difference between mine and say a series like Diary of a Wimpy Kid, is that 'The Truth, Diary of a Gutsy Tween', has been written by a positive psychologist (that’s me!) and every page is designed to encourage positive thinking, resiliency, positive self-regard, hopefulness, optimism, a recognition and valuing of one’s talents, strengths and potential, and much more. Every page can be used as a separate guidance lesson if one wished to. At the same time, the book is a page turner in its own right and kids enjoy the quick, easy read as they would any other really good fiction."
A Facebook page, thetruthforgirls, highlights many of the topics woven into "The Truth". Articles, videos, remarks, conversations, visuals, on this page center around many of the issues that tweens face growing up. These include: self-esteem issues, quarreling in families, divorce, moving to a new home, a new school, best friends, a crush, bullies, a death in the family, money issues, not feeling pretty, feeling sad, feeling lonely, jealousy and more. Dr. Holstein's book for teens and tweens is a first in using fiction for positive psychology.
Holstein's book covers issues that impact today's teens and tweens. A secret entry written by the girl in The Truth in her diary, demonstrates how a Selfie picture helps her feel better about herself.
"I hate Andrea. She laughed as a walked by and said something about I looked like a toad. It didn't make any sense what she said, except my sweater was green and maybe toads are green. But after she said it I felt miserable anyway. All day long I felt more and more ugly, hearing her chuckle and words in my head over and over. When I got home I lay down on my bed and couldn't move. I felt like everything good about me was sucked out of me. Finally, I had to get up for supper. Everyone asked what was wrong. I didn't tell anyone. It felt too bad to even share. Later, after eating almost nothing but some peas (I love peas) I got an idea. I went into the bathroom with my phone and locked the door. I started to take Selfie pictures of myself. At first it was hard to smile, but after awhile I felt a little better and I not only smiled, I was began to pose like I used to when I loved to look at myself in the mirror. That was when I was a little kid, like 9. Anyway, after I took about 20 pictures I mailed some of them to Angela and she wrote back right away saying how cute I looked! Then she sent me some of herself and we began to text. Soon I was okay again. I had found a way to get back at Andrea."
Her second book in The Truth Series is “Secrets: You Tell Me Yours and I’ll Tell You Mine…Maybe!” Now the girl is 13. She handles many adolescent issues, including a crush, moving, a death in the family, feeling fat and problems with girlfriends. 'Secrets' provides a book kids and parents and grandparents can share and use as a sounding board for needed communication between the generations.
Both “The Truth” and “Secrets” are great for grandparents, older siblings and teachers to establish lines of communication with the tweens in their lives. Both books will be re-released by Sky Pony Press.
Dr. Holstein believes that getting in touch with one's strengths, talents and potential at every age, as well as learning how to hold on to the wise, playful, happy, gutsy and energetic girl that still resides within each woman is essential for mental health.
To assist this process she has written many books, including: case study material as presented in ‘The Enchanted Self, A Positive Therapy’; inspirational stories as presented in ‘Recipes for Enchantment, The Secret Ingredient is YOU’ and romance, mystery books designed to bring fun, excitement, romance and positive psychological truths into women's lives. Latest books are: Parts 1 and 2 of ‘Next Year in Jerusalem’, available in paper and as e-books; Parts 1,2 and 3 of ‘Next Year in Jerusalem’ are now available, incorporated into ‘Around Every Corner’ on Kindle.
In addition to running a thriving practice, Dr. Holstein is a very successful author. She is available for media interview and can be reached using the information below or by email at drbarbara@enchantedself.com. All of her works are available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and all other online retailers. More information is available at her website at http://www.NewRomanceBooks.com.

Elaine Pereira, Author Of Award Winning Dementia Memoir 'I Will Never Forget', To Make Special Donation To Fund Alzheimer’s Research
Elaine Pereira's book, 'I Will Never Forget', a multi-award winning Dementia memoir, is the one book on Alzheimer's that no one else could write. Her book achieved top Amazon rankings. Honoring Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Day this June 21st, Pereira will donate 40%
Elaine Pereira has written the one book on Dementia that no one else could write. She is a daughter who has lived the Dementia drama, an Occupational Therapist who understands the neurology and an unwavering caregiver. Pereira’s exclusive perspective has enabled her to produce a one-of-a-kind book about Dementia that encompasses several uniquely special approaches.
A recent article by Julie Delcour on the Tulsa World website, entitled "Battle For Adequate Alzheimer's Funding Rages On", brought out the fact Alzheimer's "is the only disease in the top 10 that currently has no cure, treatment or means of prevention."
Dr. Dennis Gillings agrees: “Dementia is a ticking time bomb, and with the global cost of dementia care expected to reach over $1 trillion, we cannot afford to nothing.”
“This is not an acceptable situation,” warns Vradenburg. “Something fundamental has to change. We need a concerted effort to change the trajectory of this disease and to mobilize a global assault on Alzheimer’s and dementia on the scale and scope that global institutions attacked polio in the 1950s and HIV/AIDS in the 1980s and 1990s.”
“It’s appalling,” Pereira stated, “that as funding for other diseases and conditions increases, research dollars for Alzheimer’s continues to stall. No one is minimizing the adverse affects that a diagnosis of cancer, stroke or a heart attack has on an individual and their families. But advancements in medical treatment for these issues abound allowing many patients to have full recoveries.
Not so with Alzheimer’s. It is a fatal, neurological disease from which no one recovers.
People with Alzheimer’s can linger for decades as they steadily lose their life skills, memory and thinking abilities. As they drift back into the past and need increasingly more assistance and supervision, Alzheimer’s creates financial devastation on families to meet the increasing demand for long-term caregiver assistance.
Clearly we need ginormous increases in federal and private funding and fast. In the meantime, however, every donation helps, no matter how small."
"My mother’s journey through dementia was difficult, bewildering but also touching as those who have walked in my shoes understand so well," Pereira concluded. "Alzheimer’s is a horrific disease that robs us of our loved ones and 'I Will Never Forget' is a tribute to caregivers everywhere.”
‘I Will Never Forget - A Daughter's Story of Her Mother's Arduous And Humorous Journey Through Dementia’ has received numerous, high-level industry awards. These include:
2013 Winner National Indie Excellence Award, Aging Category
2013 Bronze Winner Global EBook Awards, Aging Category
2013 Honorable Mention Reader's Favorite, Memoirs
2013 Finalist LuckyCinda Publishing Book Contest
2012 Finalist Best New Non-Fiction USA Book Awards & Hollywood Book Festival
Pereira will double her usual donation from 20% to 40% to Alzheimer’s from books sold specifically on June 21st.
Elaine Pereira is available for speaking engagements and media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at elainep@iwillneverforgetbook.com. ‘I Will Never Forget - A Daughter's Story of Her Mother's Arduous And Humorous Journey Through Dementia’ is available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other book retailers.

The Link Between Depression And Anger - Award Winning Author Terezia Farkas Explains The Connection
Studies show that young people are especially prone to a vicious cycle of depression and anger that can result in rage. This can have devastating, lifelong effects that can and does destroy lives, careers and families
Depression is debilitating and can have lasting effects. A recent study by the University of Alberta, published in The University Herald, found that depression and anger in youth can adversely affect marriages and careers later in life. We need but look at today's headlines to become aware of the seemingly inexplicable instances of unfocused rage and senseless violence that is inflicted upon innocent victims worldwide. Are depression and anger linked? In a recent Huffington post article, Terezia Farkas, award-winning author of "Heart Of Love Evolution" made a strong case for the fact that depression and anger go hand in hand. She knows, as she is one of those who suffered through both and came out the other side healed and whole.
“Anger is a big part of depression. I know because I’ve been through it. We see someone who is angry and moody and think, ‘Irrational. Emotional. What’s going on?” We don’t consider that the person might be depressed because all we are confronted by is anger.
Anger is a reaction to pain. It’s also a reaction to a hopeless or frustrating situation. Anger is insidious, cycling rage and defeat. You don’t believe you’re irrational. You believe that no one understands you. Your world becomes a plastic remnant of what it used to be, bouncing back all pain. It hurts you to look at people who have no idea or understanding of how you feel. You can’t remember when someone tried to help you or spoke kindly when you felt hurt or alone. You give up hope that anyone will or can help you.
Rage is a denial of any thought that speaks of future possibilities for you. You feel like you can’t go on to your future because you’ve lost control of yourself, of your life and of
everything. Something has to happen or change now because there’s no more time to wait. So you lash out at family and friends for not believing as you do.
You can’t escape or get out of the way of rage. It’s a fire rampaging through your soul,
burning you up. It consumes and haunts you. It severs your connection to family and friends. It eats away at your heart which held love, joy and hope.
You are left with the furious beating of the heart, of the mind, and of the soul against which it sees as an invisible barrier between itself and others. People are frightened, confused and even angry at you. They don’t know how to cope with someone who is so angry. Their lives are busy and they don’t have time to figure you out. Most of them abandon you and you judge this as a further injustice to you. The more isolated you become, the more rage victimizes you. You start thinking that you don’t like those people, that you hate them, and so you don’t need them. They don’t love you. You are alone. You isolate yourself until very few people actually want to be around you.
Depressed and angry is different than just being angry. I understand that now. Anger is the last emotional foothold you have before slipping into suicidal thoughts. Anger is the first emotion you’ll experience crawling out of your hell. The need to identify, understand and treat anger as part of depression is important in healing the person.”
In ‘Heart Of Love Evolution’, Terezia Farkas presents a powerful and compelling story that offers hope to those who suffer from depression. Growing up with an emotionally abusive alcoholic father, and a mother dying from cancer, Terezia stepped into the role of caregiver and homemaker at an early age. When her mother died, Terezia went from grief to depression and attempted suicides. Terezia's deepening despair made her not only question the meaning of her life, but also contemplate other elements that contributed to her state of depression.
Terezia was strong enough to survive her dark nights of the soul. She turned her life around by looking for the light within her experiences and through loving herself. She eventually found her soul path that at the end led her to a higher level of being and self-love. Terezia's message of hope and self-love shows that those who suffer from depression can go past the pain and hopelessness and can end up recovering from depression.
Tom Shand, Executive Director of the Canadian Mental Health Association, Alberta Division recently stated, "In 'Heart of Love Evolution – Surviving Depression', Ms. Farkas shares her journey of recovery from deadly depths of depression, guided by newfound hope and spirituality. It is well written and the expression of her experiences with depression will resonate well with people, as will the emphasis on self love and hope. I commend her for her desire to help others through this book, including donating a portion of proceeds from its sale to the Canadian Mental Health Association. The spiritual beliefs are those of the author and may or may not align with those of the readers or other theories."

Depression is debilitating and can have lasting effects. A recent study by the University of Alberta, published in The University Herald, found that depression and anger in youth can adversely affect marriages and careers later in life. We need but look at today's headlines to become aware of the seemingly inexplicable instances of unfocused rage and senseless violence that is inflicted upon innocent victims worldwide. Are depression and anger linked? In a recent Huffington post article, Terezia Farkas, award-winning author of "Heart Of Love Evolution" made a strong case for the fact that depression and anger go hand in hand. She knows, as she is one of those who suffered through both and came out the other side healed and whole.
“Anger is a big part of depression. I know because I’ve been through it. We see someone who is angry and moody and think, ‘Irrational. Emotional. What’s going on?” We don’t consider that the person might be depressed because all we are confronted by is anger.
Anger is a reaction to pain. It’s also a reaction to a hopeless or frustrating situation. Anger is insidious, cycling rage and defeat. You don’t believe you’re irrational. You believe that no one understands you. Your world becomes a plastic remnant of what it used to be, bouncing back all pain. It hurts you to look at people who have no idea or understanding of how you feel. You can’t remember when someone tried to help you or spoke kindly when you felt hurt or alone. You give up hope that anyone will or can help you.
Rage is a denial of any thought that speaks of future possibilities for you. You feel like you can’t go on to your future because you’ve lost control of yourself, of your life and of
everything. Something has to happen or change now because there’s no more time to wait. So you lash out at family and friends for not believing as you do.

The Authors Show To Feature A.W. Daniels, Author of 'Genetically Privileged', June 13 Through June 15, 2014
Daniels has written two fiction novels that address the societal impacts of genetic engineering. While works of fiction, his critically acclaimed books explore a topic that many find wildly controversial
Author A. W. Daniels will appear for a three day run on The Authors Show beginning June 13, 2014. His interview centers on one of his widely praised novels about genetic engineering entitled. "Genetically Privileged". Both novels by Mr. Daniels address the social implications of genetic engineering.
Critics have praised "Genetically Privileged", calling it "an insightful spin of science exploring genetic engineering" and "An inventive, intriguing novel."
In a recent review, Midwest Book Review stated, "The sequel to A. W. Daniels' science fiction thriller 'Genetically Privileged', 'Genetically Conflicted', continues to demonstrate Daniel's narrative storytelling skills as he expands on his complexly woven world of the future. A solid entertainment from beginning to end, 'Genetically Conflicted' is very highly recommended reading for all science fiction enthusiasts."
"Genetically Privileged" addresses the advancements of technology and science as Daniels speculates on the social impact of those developments, centered around a group of genetically engineered children. In "Genetically Conflicted", the seemingly idyllic world of the genetically engineered students from "Genetically Privileged" is shattered as they are confronted by a foe bent on destroying not only their lifestyle but also those responsible for their very existence.
A.W. Daniels' interview will appear June 13 through June 15 at The Authors Show site at http://www.theauthorsshow.com. Daniels is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at aw.daniels@yahoo.com. Both books are available at Amazon, Smashwords and CreateSpace. More information is available at Daniels' website at http://www.AWDaniels.net.
About A. W. Daniels:
"Genetically Privileged" and"'Genetically Conflicted" are the first two offerings in a series of works by A. W. Daniels. The author's ability to craft compelling stories has been honed by extensive travel and observation of the human nature. This allows Mr. Daniels to weave a tapestry that colorfully, and sometimes bluntly, exposes the good and evil humankind inflicts on each other daily.

Storytelling Taken To A New Level: Master Storyteller And Author Sabrowny Rae's Backdoor Tales Redefines Storytelling
Sabrowny Rae grew up listening to her grandmother spin tales. She has taken that art form to a new level in "Backdoor Tales"
Stories such as Godzilla, Lord Of The Rings, King Kong, Batman, XMen and The Wizard Of Oz all have something in common. They are stories we have heard or seen many times before. But now, thanks to new processes and technologies, we revisit these familiar tales gladly. Why? It's the same story, but now retold in a more compelling, sleeker or updated way.
Storytelling has become a buzzword, used by everyone from corporate PR departments to used car salesmen. Real storytelling however is an art form. A real storyteller can take an old, oft-heard tale and into something compelling. A good story leaves us wanting more. We can’t get enough of them. We love those stories, but we perhaps love the storytellers even more.
Sabrowny Rae comes from a long line of real storytellers. She recently released 'Backdoor Tales: Tears Of The Serpent and September Love'. The book is actually two books in one.
“A good story teller always leaves you wanting more,” Rae stated. “This way the reader gets their fill for the price of a single book. The reader saves money and has two complete yet different novels to enjoy. As an avid reader this was something that I always wanted when I read a really good book. I always needed more.”
Rae's stories have never been told before, but are destined to become classics, as they have been created by somebody who understands the art of real storytelling. In the storyline of 'Tears Of The Serpent', after seven thousand years, Satan, king of the demons, begs to be allowed to live in a human for seventy years where he would receive love and form once more. In the storyline of 'September Love', an American slave falls in love with her owner’s nephew. Their love transcends many hardships and barriers as they attempt to be together for life, while the sociopathic son of the slave owner attempts to keep them apart.
Sabrowny Rae is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at sabrownyr@yahoo.com. 'Backdoor Tales' is available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Xlibris in ebook, paperback and hardback. More information is available at her website at http://www.sabrownyraebooks.com.
About Sabrowny Rae:
Sabrowny Rae is a native of Washington, DC where she lives with her husband and surrounded by their children and grandchildren. Her dream of writing in the style of the tall tales of her great grandmother only began with this, her first effort after she retired from her full time job as a registered nurse.
She has taken the written word and weaved a story that will keep readers wanting more using the same style of story-telling that allows readers to dig deep into theirimaginations and see the tale come to life. Her stories are based on romance, intrigue, mystery, religion, and murder.

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein To Release "The Truth, Diary Of A Gutsy Tween"
Dr. Holstein's new book is an updated release by Sky Pony Press of her popular book for tweens, "The Truth I'm a Girl, I'm Smart and I Know Everything". The release is scheduled for July 1st, 2014
On July 1, 2014, the newly revised and expanded edition of "The Truth: I'm a Girl, I'm Smart and I Know Everything" will be published by Sky Pony Press. The new title is "The Truth, Diary of a Gutsy Tween". This release falls on the heels of "The Locket", a page to stage play version of "The Truth", which was performed in Asbury Park on May 5th, 2014 to rave reviews.
"The Truth: I'm a Girl, I'm Smart and I Know Everything", the acclaimed novel by Dr. Holstein, is a fictional diary for girls, tweens and teens. Written by an 11 year old girl as a diary, Dr. Barbara has embedded within the story positive truths and concepts geared to help girls develop self-esteem and resiliency.
"I'm very excited," Dr. Holstein stated, "that Sky Pony Press is releasing an expanded version of 'The Truth'. The girl really has so much to say, that an expanded edition is in order. After all she is the secret voice of most tweens. She gets us, whether we are 11 or 80 to think about all the issues that face a girl growing up in our society. She shares her deepest feelings around her first crush, her parents fighting, her anxieties about moving, her feelings about bullies, her triumphs and her problems. And she finds a way to stay proud and sure of herself as she faces what is inevitable: growing into being a teen. She is in her own way, every girl's 'Selfie'. She is a captured moment of all of us, those that are girls and tweens and those of us that were tweens long ago."
Dr. Holstein is a prolific writer who crosses genres with ease. Dr. Holstein's book for teens and tweens is a first in using fiction for positive psychology.
Her second book in The Truth Series is “Secrets: You Tell Me Yours and I’ll Tell You Mine…Maybe!” Now the girl is 13. She handles many adolescent issues, including a crush, moving, a death in the family, feeling fat and problems with girlfriends. 'Secrets' provides a book kids and parents and grandparents can share and use as a sounding board for needed communication between the generations.
Both “The Truth” and “Secrets” are great for grandparents, older siblings and teachers to establish lines of communication with the tweens in their lives. Both books will be re-released by Sky Pony Press.
Dr. Holstein believes that getting in touch with your strengths, talents and potential at every age, as well as learning how to hold on to the wise, playful, happy, gutsy and energetic girl that still resides within each woman is essential for mental health.
To assist this process she has written many books, including: case study material as presented in ‘The Enchanted Self, A Positive Therapy’; inspirational stories as presented in ‘Recipes for Enchantment, The Secret Ingredient is YOU’ and romance, mystery books designed to bring fun, excitement, romance and positive psychological truths into women's lives. Latest books are: Parts 1 and 2 of ‘Next Year in Jerusalem’, available in paper and as e-books; Parts 1,2 and 3 of ‘Next Year in Jerusalem’ are now available, incorporated into ‘Around Every Corner’ on Kindle.
In addition to running a thriving practice, Dr. Holstein is a very successful author. She is available for media interview and can be reached using the information below or by email at drbarbara@enchantedself.com. All of her works are available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and all other online retailers. More information is available at her website at http://www.NewRomanceBooks.com.

Romantic Fiction Author Rusty Blackwood Announces Readers Favorite International Book Awards Entry, June 2014 Events
Blackwood is the author of "Passions In Paris" a romantic fiction novel that has been compared to "Love Story" and "The Notebook"
Canadian Indie author Rusty Blackwood has announced that "Passions In Paris: Revelations Of A Lost Diary" has been entered in Readers Favorite International Book Awards. She has also announced the upcoming schedule of events for June 2014.
"Over the course of my writing career thus far," Blackwood stated, "I have pounded the proverbial internet pavement, done interviews and submitted review queries with an assortment of internet sites that were designed with the independent author in mind. Some were extremely good, and some badly lacking in the required areas needed for success in the self-publishing world, but I have never encountered one so diligent, well constructed, and in tune with a writer's plight than Readers' Favorite, with their supportive staff, excellent services, and competent reviewers."
"Competitive contests come and go, regardless of the popularity of the site that is sponsoring them, or what they may be offering by entering. For the indie author, contests are both an interesting way in which to promote one's work, and bring attention to a title that is competing against others in its genre which in turn can bring it to the literary forefront over-all. Readers' Favorite sponsors one of the largest annual book award contests on the Net, offering some of the best, sought-after rewards hoping to be obtained by those throwing their title into the ring. This is my first year competing in this audacious contest, but the accolades that 'Passions in Paris' hopes to reap in its field are well worth the pedantic run toward the finish line."
Blackwood's romantic fiction novel is a sweeping saga written in the tradition of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and 'What Dreams May Come'. It has been compared to Erich Segal's 'Love Story' and Nicholas Sparks' 'The Notebook'. The novel has also received extremely positive reviews from Reader's Favorite reviewers and has a 4-star rating on Amazon. The book was chosen as a finalist in Indie Author Land’s “50 Self Published Books Worth Reading”. Rusty was also a finalist in The Authors Show “50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading” Awards.
"Passions In Paris" will celebrate a one year anniversary in June, having been released on June 19, 2013. This coincides with June being Literary Month throughout the Niagara area. Blackwood will be reading from "Passions In Paris" at the Pelham Festival Book Fair on June 21st at the Pelham Public Library, a part of the Grey Borders Niagara Literary Arts Festival. She will also be reading three selections of poetry at Cafe on Main on June 11th in Fonthill, Ontario and an excerpt from "Passions" at William's Fresh Cafe in Niagara Falls on June13th.
"Passions In Paris" has received rave reviews from readers. Reader Fred Pifer stated the new romance book, "is a fascinating book of a love story that seemed to be written with me in mind. In the book 'Love Story' by Erich Segal, he told of a deep abiding love story that reminds me of Cullen and Joy’s in Ms. Blackwood’s book, but the twists of intrigue and mystery that she adds keeps the reader on edge throughout." Linkk Kulakane said, "Passions in Paris I think stands it ground with these other powerful romantic stories like 'The Notebook' by Nicolas Sparks."
Readers can download the epub version of the book at Smashwords. 'Passions In Paris: Revelations Of A Lost Diary' is also available at Amazon in paperback and Kindle editions, Barnes and Noble in paperback and Nook editions, and Create Space.
Rusty Blackwood is available for interview in the Toronto area and can be reached using the information below or by email at writerrusty@hotmail.ca. More information, including 'An Evening With Rusty Blackwood - Parts 1-3' is available at her website at http://www.rusty-blackwood.com.

Award Winning Children's Book Author Diane Mae Robinson Announces New Reviews And Future Releases
Robinson’s multi-award winning books, ‘Sir Princess Petra', and the second book in the series, 'Sir Princess Petra's Talent', teach children valuable life lessons through engaging fiction. Both books have received rave reviews. Two more books are scheduled for future release
Award winning Canadian author Diane Robinson 's highly praised, multi-award winning children’s book, ‘Sir Princess Petra’, the first in the Pen Pieyu series, features surprising plot twists and turns, brilliant flashes of humor, zany characters and is rooted in timeless values that shine through the charismatic main character. It is written in the tradition of C. S. Lewis and is reminiscent of ‘Shrek’. Reviewers have labeled the award winning book a ‘fantasy adventure that is sure to become a timeless classic.’
'Sir Princess Petra' took an Honorable Mention award in the 2013 Readers' Favorite International Awards for Children Grade K - 3rd. Robinson was honored with two major awards for the book. She was awarded the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Emerging Artists Award for Children’s Book Author and took 2nd place in the Purple Dragonfly Book awards for Children’s Chapter Book.
The second book in the series, 'Sir Princess Petra's Talent' has already received a number of very favorable reviews. The book recently garnered 5 more 5 star reviews and even more praise from Midwest Book Review and Readers Favorite.
“Writing and creating this fantasy series has been a fun adventure,” stated Robinson. “Petra is a spunky character who teaches children about kindness, accepting others for who they are, and believing in yourself. My grammar book is written in the same essence as this series.”
Robinson is currently at work on the third book in the series, 'Sir Princess Petra's Mission'. She is also writing an easy-to-understand grammar book for elementary children, 'Grammar for Kids and Dragons'. The book deals with elementary grades grammar lessons in a humorous medieval tone.
While dragon books are one of the most popular segments of fantasy fiction and children’s books in today's marketplace, in these fantasy fiction books, Robinson uses the dragon books concept as the background to teaching young people traditional values. Ms. Robinson's highly praised work demonstrates that dragon books can be something much more than dragon books.
Diane Mae Robinson is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at robinsond@mscnet.ca. More information, including reviews, information for teachers and librarians, a downloadable lesson plan and a special children’s section is available at her website. Both books are currently available from Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

Diane Mae Robinson has a journalism diploma from the Schools of Montreal, and an advanced diploma from the Institute of Children's Literature in Connecticut. She is a writing instructor/tutor for the Children’s Writing Course at the Creative Writing Institute. She is also an artist, writing tutor and teaches acrylic and watercolor art to children.

This magical forest is where Diane creates her characters and gets the inspiration for her stories.

A.W. Daniels, Author of 'Genetically Privileged' To Appear On "The Authors Show"
Daniels is the author of two fiction novels that address the issue of genetic engineering. Daniels believes the implications of genetic engineering, both now and in the future, are staggering
A. W. Daniels, author of two highly praised, insightful books about genetic engineering, will appear on The Authors Show radio on June 4, 2014. In the interview he will discuss his recent book about genetic engineering, 'Genetically Privileged'. The future benefits and challenges of genetic engineering, as well as the social implications, are subjects addressed in two novels by Daniels, the first entitled 'Genetically Privileged', and the second, now in release, entitled 'Genetically Conflicted'.
Daniels' work has been widely praised. Midwest Book Review stated, "Genetically Privileged is an insightful spin of science fiction exploring genetic engineering, recommended." Kirkus Review stated, "Daniels skillfully develops a sense of threat. An inventive, intriguing novel. Animated plot and thoughtful questions posed about genetic manipulation.”
About 'Genetically Conflicted', Midwest Book Review stated, "The sequel to A. W. Daniels' science fiction thriller 'Genetically Privileged', 'Genetically Conflicted', continues to demonstrate Daniel's narrative storytelling skills as he expands on his complexly woven world of the future. A solid entertainment from beginning to end, 'Genetically Conflicted' is very highly recommended reading for all science fiction enthusiasts."
In the storyline of 'Genetically Privileged', nature disappoints a young couple's aspirations of parenthood. They turn to a series of fertility experts and finally an old friend. Their friend, as it turns out, has been modifying the human genome for a government project and the couple becomes entangled in a web of deceit. ‘Genetically Privileged’ is a socially relevant read, addressing the advancements of technology and science as Daniels speculates on the social impact of those developments.
In ‘Genetically Conflicted’, the seemingly idyllic world of the genetically engineered students from ‘Genetically Privileged’ is shattered as they are confronted by a foe bent on destroying not only their lifestyle but also those responsible for their very existence. The students learn quickly that theirs is not the only reality on this planet as they find themselves in a fight for survival against an enemy that insist upon unconditional compliance in return for their lives. These demands become increasingly complex as the students find their adversaries to be from the same family tree as their own. The students are still as charming as they were in the first edition; they’ve just learned to become more lethal.
A.W. Daniels is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at aw.daniels@yahoo.com. Both books are available at Amazon, Smashwords and CreateSpace. The interview will be broadcast on June 4 and is available worldwide at The Authors Show site at http://www.theauthorsshow.com. More information is available at Daniels' website at http://www.AWDaniels.net.
About A. W. Daniels:
‘Genetically Privileged’ and 'Genetically Conflicted' are the first two offerings in a series of works by A. W. Daniels. The author's ability to craft compelling stories has been honed by extensive travel and observation of the human nature. This allows Mr. Daniels to weave a tapestry that colorfully, and sometimes bluntly, exposes the good and evil humankind inflicts on each other daily.

Author Lowell Harrison Young Appears On The Authors Show To Discuss "Biodesign Out For A Walk"
Author Lowell Harrison Young appeared on The Author Show recently to discuss his latest release, 'Biodesign Out For A Walk'.
A biology class does not normally serve to provide the meaning of life. But in the case of Lowell Harrison Young's students, an advanced biology class provided the framework to discover the meaning of life.
Today's typical high school students are bored. They are disinterested and forced to memorize rote facts that often have no relevance or meaning to their own lives. Technology has forced them to disconnect from Nature and from each other. However, in Young's Biodesign class, students transcended all of that and went from dissecting fetal pigs to wilderness revelations. They escaped from four drab walls and entered a wilderness classroom under the stars. They went from boredom to mysteries, from profane hallway chatter to discussing the wisdom of Nature's designs. They went from memorization of minutiae to probing the illimitable freedom of their minds. And finally, they connected with Nature, and with each other, to discover the real meaning of life.
"I wrote Biodesign Out For A Walk in hopes that it will resuscitate readers’s waning sense of wonder, mystery and love of life," Young stated. "The work is a collection of stories of curious high school biology students who embarked on what Joseph Campbell described as 'the soul’s high adventure.' It is a thrilling example of what young minds can do when they are challenged to transcend to higher levels of consciousness, compassion and connectedness."
'Biodesign Out For A Walk has received rave reviews and has garnered 16 5-star reviews on Amazon. The book is rated 4.9 out of 5 stars. One reviewer stated, "What Lowell Young has crafted in these pages--and more than that, the experience he created with students for 24 years--is an essential exploration for any reader with an equal passion for tales of authentic education and the natural world. If you find yourself moved to tears, laughter and deeper questions (sometimes in the same chapter) then you'll have joined the caravan of over 700 of his Biodesign students. No doubt he's a fitting heir to the work of Muir, Thoreau, Eiseley, and Darwin, and deserves a comfortable place in that good company."
Lowell Harrison Young is available for media interviews and can be reach using the information below or by email at young.lowell@gmail.com.
'Biodesign Out For A Walk' is available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. More information is available at Young's website at http://www.BiodesignOutForAWalk.com.
About Lowell Harrison Young:
Lowell Young and his wife, Christie, have lived in California’s Napa Valley for over 40 years. Mr. Young taught high school biology for nearly 38 years before he retired. He holds a Masters’ Degree in the art of teaching biology.
The class that evolved into Biodesign was a collaborative, creative project where the roles of teacher and student were often reversed. It was well known by the students that although Mr. Young represented the physical nature of the class, Christie’s silent spiritual guidance was often felt in their classroom circles as well as along the many miles of trails they walked. The Biodesign class may be the only one of its kind taught in a public high school in the country.
