Award Winning Author Sid Nachman Announces New Book, Inside Bugsy Moran

Nachman is the author of a number of highly praised books, including 'Bipolar Me' and 'Strictly For Seniors'

Award-winning author Sid Nachman has announced the release of a new book, 'Inside Bugsy Moran'. The new book is the story of a boy who grows up not knowing who or what he is. That doesn’t stop him, at least in his mind, from becoming a Jewish Huckleberry Finn and Jiminy Cricket with a smidge of Captain Marvel thrown in at no extra charge. He loves to tell you, “I’m Bugsy Moran and don’t you forget it! I can leap over one-story buildings, jump over small puddles, and beat up anyone who gets in my way!”

Don’t let Bugsy’s bravado fool you, because Bugsy’s a God-fearing man with a good heart. You may hate him, love him, or feel something in between, but you’ll never get bored following Bugsy on his great adventures.

The booklet is available at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Sid-Nachman/author/B007EE5NGQ?.

Sid Nachman is a writer who is known for his acerbic wit and his ability to knock readers to the floor in fits of laughter. His writing style is unlike any other. He is especially adept at creating works that center around his Jewish upbringing, spinning tales that seem too funny to be true - but they are.

He recently released a new travel book entitled, 'Take a Trip with Morris the Trailer and Two Fruitcakes Down the Yellow Brick Road'. While his road trip with his wife and a talking trailer does not take him to Kansas, it does take him nearly everywhere else - or so it seems.

In this new book, readers can discover customs and cultures they never knew existed. Get sage and oregano advice from Morris, who rarely stops talking. Share the absurd thoughts in the minds of Sammy and Libby, the two other main characters in this travelogue. This trip was the dream of a lifetime for all three of them. It actually happened, something few of us will ever experience. Readers can just sit back, relax, and enjoy their great adventure.

'Bipolar Me' provides an insightful and captivating glimpse into the day-to-day experience of a man who dealt with this condition - during a time when this type of affliction might be diagnosed as a form of schizophrenia. In those days the treatment might involve electric shock treatment or, in severe cases, being locked away.

'Bipolar Me' has garnered high praise from readers and reviewers alike. Sid's no-holds-barred writing style produces a work that is filled with hilarious stories that show us that life is just plain good. It is a highly entertaining memoir that allows readers a glimpse into the unfettered mind of a bipolar boy who never grows up until his hair turns white. Readers will get to see his world in black and white and vivid color and will feel what he feels when he feels like he weighs three thousand pounds and a minute later can leap over tall buildings. Sid's life is a life gone wild that settles down only when it’s almost too late.

Sid's first book, 'Strictly For Seniors' is a nonfiction work of short stories about what happened to Sid "after breakfast on Delancey Street" in West Philly during the 30’s and 40’s when his Mom gave him a big hug and kiss and sent him on his way. Sid had great fun, survived bullying by hitting the bigger boys about the head with his violin case and developed his own singular brand of “street smarts".

He also published ‘Leena – An Abused Bruised and Bloodied Woman’, a true account of a little girl who climbs out of mind-boggling mental and physical abuse, faces prejudice and misunderstanding as an adult, knocks the chip off her shoulder and leads a normal and healthy life.

Nachman's books have received fantastic reviews. One stated, "Like James Joyce, Sid Nachman can take the ordinary and turn it into magic with a fluency that's imperceptible." Another said "Sid's stories touch the human soul with wit, charm and realism."

Author Tony Attanasio Announces Free Ebook Download Of Samples From His Most Popular Reality Based Action Novels

Attanasio's reality based action novels are based on his personal experiences with the NYPD, the DEA and the CIA

Author and Islamic Terrorism Consultant Tony Attanasio has announced the release of a free e-book sampler with excerpts from three of his most popular works: 'A Silent Star', 'The Iranian Connection: Code Word Orchid' and 'Kenny O'.

Unlike many other authors who write reality based action novels, Tony Attanasio writes from direct personal experience. Tony was seriously injured in a line-of-duty incident that ended his career with NYPD. He subsequently served ten years with the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), where he served as an Intelligence specialist. During his tenure he served in Miami, Europe and New York City. Both in Miami, Florida, and Europe, he served as liaison with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and traveled to CIA Headquarters in Langley, Virginia, where he presented a course on International Organized Crime.

'A Silent Star': Subsequent to the attack on the USS Cole in October of 2000, British intelligence reports pinpointed bin Laden's location in a safe house outside of Abyan, Yemen. A top secret project, code named, Perfect Justice, was carried out by a team of highly-trained CIA operatives, two male and two female, in a commando-style raid. It was to be a Black operation, one that would be conducted in absolute secrecy under the cover of official deniability. If unsuccessful, it would in effect, never be acknowledged by the CIA, or any other governmental organization, to have ever taken place.

'The Iranian Connection': Relates the actions of Iranian and Hezbollah operatives who planned to detonate a nuclear device in New York City in order to weaken The United States’ support for Israel in post September 11 months. Initially US Federal law enforcement assets work at odds with one another. Eventually the groups work together to thwart the explosion. The storyline highlights the non-cooperation among law enforcement agencies in the United States that made the Office of Homeland Security a reality.

'Kenny O': During the 1970s New York City was a Mecca for heroin and cocaine usage with addiction a major health concern. The majority of these drugs was trafficked and sold by traditional organized crime families such as the Gambino, Bonnano and Genovese LCN clans. One location where these groups planned, trafficked and sold these drugs, affectionately called Boy for heroin and Girl for cocaine, was in the Bronx. A special unit was put together to gather information on these groups and subsequently dismantle their networks. This unit of NYPD, under the auspices of the Organized Crime Control Bureau was able to accomplish this through many hard working hours and the assistance of an informant - KENNY O.

Attanasio's real world experience flavors every page of his works. Tony has had a long career in investigating organized crime, money laundering, and radical Islam. His previous two books have received national acclaim and five star reviews. Tony has consulted for Robert DiNiro in establishing authenticity for his film ‘Ronan’.

Tony Attanasio is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at pts@bellsouth.net.

Frances Fuller, Award Winning Author Of 'In Borrowed Houses,’ Announces Free Ebook Sampler Now Available For Download

Fuller's memoir, 'In Borrowed Houses' details her many years spent in Lebanon as a Christian publisher. It is an utterly unique and engaging book that could have been written by no other person

Frances Fuller, author of 'In Borrowed Houses,’ has announced a free ebook sampler of 'In Borrowed Houses.’

Told in short episodes, Fuller’s multiple award-winning book reveals the alienation, confusion and courage of civilians in the Lebanese civil war, introducing to the reader a variety of real people with whom the author interacts: editors, salesmen, neighbors, refugees, soldiers, missionaries, lawyers, shepherds, artists, students. With these people she works, studies, plays games, prays, laughs and cries, all to the accompaniment of gunfire. Together these small stories tell what war is like for civilians caught on a battlefield, and they create the impression of the Lebanese as a fun-loving, witty, patient and resilient people. They also compose, not a political history, but a historical document of a time and a place.

Introducing the sampler, Fuller said, “Just as this ebook sampler is a preview of ‘In Borrowed Houses,’ my book is a preview of current events in the Middle East. The violent struggle happened first in Lebanon, because Lebanon is a microcosm of the whole Middle East. While torn by internal tension, Lebanon is a leader, an example, loved, hated and coveted by her neighbors. Readers will gain insight into the people of the area, enabling them to think fairly about the Middle East.”

Critics have praised  ‘In Borrowed Houses.’ A judge in the 22nd Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards called 'In Borrowed Houses' “…a well written book full of compassion…a captivating story…” Another reviewer described the book as “Wise, honest, sensitive, funny, heart-wrenching…” Colin Chapman, lecturer in Islamic Studies at the Near East School of Theology in Beirut said, “….western Christians and Middle Eastern Christians need to read this story…full of remarkable perceptiveness and genuine hope.”

'In Borrowed Houses' took top honors in the 2014 '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' book awards. Frances was chosen as the result of her appearance on The Authors Show Radio. She also took a Bronze Medal in the Illumination Book Awards, for “exemplary Christian literature.”

Fuller was recently a guest speaker at Elon University, Burlington, N.C.  Drawing on thirty years of experience in the Middle East, Fuller addressed a large group of faculty, staff and students in the university’s Numen Lumen Center.  Her topic was “Faith and Love in Wartime Lebanon.” 

"Lebanon's population of four million is trying to take care of two million refugees, and its infrastructure is on the verge of collapse. What the world can do to save Lebanon is to help take care of these refugees.  We (Americans) did a lot to help create the mess the Arabs are in, and w can't help solve the problems without acknowledging that. If we don't have any guilt we are not thinking very well."

The free ebook sampler from 'In Borrowed Houses' is available at http://www.payhip.com/francesfuller.

Frances Fuller is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at frances0516@att.net. Fuller's book is available at Amazon and other book retailers. More information is available at her website at http://www.inborrowedhouseslebanon.com.

About Frances Fuller:

Frances Fuller spent thirty years in the violent Middle East and for twenty-four of those years was the director of a Christian publishing program with offices in Lebanon. While leading the development of spiritual books in the Arabic language, she survived long years of civil war and invasions.

Frances holds degrees in Journalism, Creative Writing and Religious Education, and she studied Arabic at Georgetown University. She and her husband, James Wayne Fuller, live now in the foothills of the Sierras in California. They have five children, ten grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

Paranormal Fantasy Romance Author Vanayssa Somers Announces Release Of Free Ebook Sample Download Of 'Pagan Flames'

Vanayssa Somers writes paranormal fantasy romance and contemporary romance that revolves around trusting one's heart, overcoming challenges and transformation. 'Pagan Flames' is a paranormal fantasy romance

Paranormal fantasy romance author Vanayssa Somers has announced the release of a free ebook download sampler from 'Pagan Flames'. The book is for anyone who enjoys a mix of supernatural and love or perhaps those who just love love.  The book has received rave reviews from readers.

'Pagan Flames' is a paranormal romance novel set during the Spanish Inquisition in 15th century Majorca. In 'Pagan Flames', a young orphaned girl who lives with Nuns commits to undergo secret training in the Brilliant Arts. Knowing she will die an agonizing death at the stake if discovered, she chooses to trust her Teacher in the Wizardly skills of Shapeshifting, Time Travel, and Flight.

Somers commented recently on the power of romantic love: "Romantic love gives us wings. We all have discovered that, all of us who have been bewitched by another person. Somehow, our human chemistry is calibrated for that, for falling under the spell of another's mind, habits, beauties, flaws. It comes without warning, usually, though sometimes in a slow waltz of events, and is none the less powerful for that.

"But beware. For those glorious wings provided by true love can fly us headlong, unexpectedly, into a dragon's lair. A huge, terrifying, fire-breathing dragon capable of our destruction. We don't expect that. We never expect that. And yet, like any fabulous gift, it has no purpose if it does not teach us one fiercely valuable thing. What love teaches us, ultimately, is that dragons can be destroyed. In 'Pagan Flames', little Theresa must reach into the depths and breadth of all that she has become to complete her destiny - a destiny linked with the magnificent Arch Wizard, Melchior, her teacher."

'Pagan Flames' has received rave reviews. One reader stated "Pagan Flames is one of the best supernatural romance books I have ever had the pleasure of reading." Another said, "I loved this book. I couldn't put it down. Vanayssa Somers made the story and the characters come to life in a way that few authors are able to do." Another called 'Pagan Flames' "absolutely delightful . . ."

Somers has also written a contemporary romance novel entitled 'Sacred Trust'. In 'Sacred Trust', Jan Kendall is the wife of a U.S. Congressman, enjoying the limelight and all its privileges. One day, for good reasons, she flees their elegant home, private jet, holiday homes, and big bank account. But as time goes on, Jan realizes that her high-flying, immensely powerful husband is looking for her and won't take 'no' for an answer. She sees two choices, run scared for the rest of her life or bring the man she once loved to justice. Taking her own power for the first time, she sets out on a path that will test every ounce of courage she ever possessed.

The free ebook sampler of 'Pagan Flames' is available at Payhip at https://payhip.com/Vanayssa.

Positive Psychologist Barbara Becker Holstein Releases Free Ebook Sampler Of 'Seven Gateways To Happiness: Freeing Your Enchanted Self'

'Seven Gateways To Happiness' is Dr. Holstein's bestselling inspirational book. The book demonstrates that every woman has a capacity for joy, for elation, a sense of well-being, and ways of making their lives special and meaningful

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein has announced the release of a free ebook sampler from 'Seven Gateways To Happiness: Freeing Your Enchanted Self'. 'Seven Gateways To Happiness' is Dr. Holstein's bestselling inspirational book. The book reveals seven 'gateways' that readers can use to achieve the states of joy, well being and helpful steps women can use to increase their enjoyment of life. The ebook sampler is available at no charge.

"I discovered the 'Enchanted Self' while searching for the origins of pain and dysfunction that I saw in my clients, my friends, my family and myself," Dr. Holstein stated.  "I was searching in particular for how women lived with, and handled dysfunctional or hurtful or painful messages we absorb along the way, whether in childhood or later.  I wanted to see what these insults, these violations, and these hurts did to us."

"To research I decided to interview women not in my practice.  I did case study interviews on eighteen women, ranging in age from 35 until the early 80’s.  I found each had hurt feelings and/or weakened self-esteem at some point growing up or in a marriage." 

"I had a profound “aha” experience as I reviewed the transcriptions of my interviews.  I saw that each woman had a capacity for joy, for elation, a sense of well-being, and all had ways of making their lives special and meaningful. They had fun.  They enjoyed much of their daily lives.  They had stories to tell of successes, both personal and professional. All of their wonderful capacities were much more than I anticipated."

"It became clear that what I was beginning to call The Enchanted Self was the core part of each woman.  It was in the past, in the present and would be there for our futures.  But we had to learn how to fly.  The strengths, talents and potential had to be reclaimed and reframed for the present and the future.  Each woman has to learn to recognize what is best for her, whether finding a way to earn a living, relate to a mate or know what made her really happy."

Dr. Holstein is making free ebook samples from the book available at www.payhip.com/drbholstein. It is available in Kindle and epub formats. Dr. Holstein can be contacted 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.DrBHolstein.com.

The Entertainment Book No Other Person Could Write – 'Three Stages, My Journey - Special Selections Edition' Released By Author Ben Bryant

Bryant's wildly entertaining book is filled with celebrity stories, drawn from 'Three Stages'. The new edition is available as a free download for all types of reading devices

Hollywood stories and celebrity memoirs can be found everywhere today. But never has an entertainment book been written that offers an insider’s backstage – and on stage – view of the inner workings of the entertainment industry at nearly every level over a period of over three decades. Nobody could ever write such a book – save for one man – Ben Bryant.

Bryant shared the stage or screen (as well as personal occasions) with literally dozens of household name level stars such as Clint Eastwood, Christopher Walken, Charles Bronson, Claire Trevor, Roy Rogers, David Carradine, Jerry Orbach, Mary Martin, Raul Julia and scores of others. Ben’s "Journey" has been anything but ordinary or average.

Ben Bryant is a storyteller beyond compare. His stories capture the entertainment industry experience in ways no other work has ever captured it before. Every segment of the industry – theatre, television, Las Vegas, national tours, The Metropolitan Opera and the Broadway stage – occupies a place in his engaging tales. Bryant’s "backstage view" of the world of entertainment is panoramic. His up close and personal celebrity stories form the basis of  a work that readers will find revealing, amusing and highly entertaining.

Ben Bryant performed on Television, on Broadway, at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center as well as on stages and in concert halls all over the USA and Canada. He was even briefly an opera singer at the Met.

 “One of the things I’ve found surprising about readers’ reactions to 'Three Stages',” Bryant said, “is that this book is seen by nearly all of them to be a Hollywood memoir. I just wrote about my life and the shows I did and the people in them. At the time it never even occurred to me that this was a celebrity book.”

'Three Stages' has received rave reviews. Rick Skye, award winning writer and performer wrote on newsun.com, "There are several qualities of life that would seem to have all but disappeared in these United States of late, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on them until I spent a lovely couple of days living through the first few stages of Ben Bryant’s colorful life. What at first appears to be a straightforward ... autobiography is transformed by these qualities – charm, a poetic way with a turn of phrase and simple honesty – into a non-fiction novel about a way of life in an America that no longer exists. He brings it back to life like Brigadoon, with humor and sentiment, recalled through the beautiful mist of memory."

"... instead of the usual tales of Hollywood intrigue he spins yarns of touring in summer stock in the big, lush post WWII days when America spent it’s summers picnicking by day and attending outdoor musical performances in the evening. A red blooded man’s man, he intertwines intimate tales of getting to know the opposite sex and the ingenuity he uses to break into show business like a cowboy telling tall tales around a roaring fire.  .
As he grows in self-knowledge, he easily transforms from sports figure to musical and stage star to magazine publisher to film producer. It is this spiritual quality that makes his story so uplifting and the same quality that leads him to find his soul mate and ultimately take her as his wife. ..."

Mary Beth Magee, on the Yahoo Contributor Network stated, "Ben Bryant has worn many hats over the decades: student, athlete, musician, singer, actor and more. In “Three Stages”, he tells the early part of his story and invites readers to share his experiences. This is the first of a [3 volume] series on his kaleidoscopic life.

"Unlike many Hollywood memoirs, this book examines more of the fun side of the entertainment industry. Bryant doesn't sugarcoat the events, but he doesn't go looking for downside negatives, either. He doesn't spend his pages bashing others. "

"... Bryant brings an enthusiasm to his narrative that is often lacking from memoirs. ... As might be expected of a story set that covers thirty-seven years of an attractive young man's life, there are sexual encounters. Unlike many such books, Bryant handles the events with refreshing discretion. There are no embarrassing discussions, only an observation that such did occur. Very classy."

"Three Stages ... [is] an ongoing conversation about a life lived to the hilt and how Bryant has grown into new roles along the way. From Bristol, Tennessee to the glitter of Hollywood and the hustle of The Big Apple, Bryant shares the ride with his readers in a joyous recounting of the journey."

"… If you simply enjoy a good adventure yarn, you'll enjoy Bryant's story. You'll laugh, you'll shake your head in bemusement sometimes and you'll just have a good time reading Three Stages".

The Special Selections edition of  'Three Stages' offers some of the "best of the best" tales from the book. This edition is available as a free download ebook in mobi, epub and pdf versions, allowing for access from nearly any kind of ebook reader technology. The book can be downloaded from the books page at http://www.entertainmentbooksbyben.com.
