Brave Stallion Publishing Releases 'Breath of Life' by BWW News Desk
- October 10, 2013 Are you searching for answers to improve your relationship with your spouse or significant other? Or are you looking for the next novel to inspire you? 'Breath of Life' is a compelling story about a couple who goes from loving every second together to the brink of divorce. As their lives unfold you will be able to relate with them and learn ways to improve your own relationships.
Lucas and Sophie Bradley's relationship started with passion and adventure while they traveled the eastern United States as photographers. From Texas to Niagara Falls to the beaches of Florida their love flourished on the go. They always dreamed of buying a house on the ocean and having two beautiful children to raise there. But when Sophie became pregnant, the couple compromised and rooted themselves in Valleyfield, North Carolina; five hours from the Atlantic.
Fifteen years later Sophie is ready to call it quits. She befriends Richard, an Italian co-worker, who promises to take her away to a future filled with excitement and spontaneity; just like the days of her past. Lucas thrives on the youthful sensation his vigorous secretary offers while also reliving his youth. Their family is headed for destruction.
Lucas senses the ensuing catastrophe and calls upon a forgotten friend to help save his marriage and family. His life changing decision and its impact could be too much for Sophie to bear. The hope for their future lies in a missing key both lost over time. Can the Bradley family pull it together before it's too late?
Donald Stidham's debut novel tells a compelling story about making mistakes, losing focus, and discovering the courage each of us to have to fight for what we love. True love has the power of forgiveness, healing, and second chances when all the wrong choices are made. If we hold tight, we can experience the 'Breath of Life.'
Available on Amazon and Createspace.com on October 28th. For a deeper look into 'Breath of Life' visit facebook.com/breathoflifedonaldstidham Visit donaldstidham.blogspot.com to connect with the author.
Prolific Imagination Publishing Releases “Up, Up In The Air” by BWW News Desk
- October 10, 2013 Dedicated to children everywhere who need a bit of encouragement Adrian Powell, Owner and Sole Proprietor of Prolific Imagination Publishing is proud to announce the launch of his book entitled, 'Up, Up In The Air.' The book tells the story of its central character Kenny who is determined to learn how to fly. The persistent Kenny sets out on a quest but is met with several encounters with others who tell him his dream is impossible. The book's story line follows the brave character as he sets out to prove his naysayers wrong. In the process he proves to himself that his dream is indeed valid and very doable.
Of African American descent himself, the first-time author wrote the book from the perspective of children of color so that they would be inspired to see themselves in the central character. Desiring to create a story in which children around the world could go back and 'reference when they too embark on the journey of obtaining their dreams' Powell engages his readers with triumph and courage. 'There weren't many people in my environment to encourage my dream of working in Aeronautics. Like the main character in my book my goal was often meet with opposition because of the inability of others to see beyond what they knew to be true or normal,' Powell expounds.
Despite discouragement the author went on to purse his dream and attended Tennessee State University on an academic scholarship and later received his B.S. in Aeronautical and Industrial Technology. Working for the leader in Aviation logistics Powell once again found himself in a position where he was one of the only young African Americans in aviation. As a result he decided to create a book published through his own micro publishing company that would help to encourage children to follow through with their goals despite people around them who doubt their potential.
The book is intended for children ages four through nine and will feature several aviation related sequels. One of the sequels will encourage young women in particular to enter the field of aviation. 'Up, Up In the Air' will be available in print and eBook formats beginning October 18th through major retailers like Barnes & Noble and Amazon. The book is available for purchase on the Prolific Imagination Publishing website where each purchase receives a free gift.
