Award-Winning Poet Brings Postmodern Style to Life in Mathematics of Love
by BWW News Desk - July 13, 2013
Mathematics of Love is a poetry collection in the tradition of E. E. Cummings, Jose Garcia Villa and Dylan Thomas. Cowen embraces the postmodern craft of creating 'sullen art.' Villa helped Cowen build his poetic craft as his mentor and friend, and the residues of his influence can be clearly discerned. 'Concise, witty, subtle, these works move on the page with the ease of seasoned dancers on the stage. Cowen has a distinct taste for the lyrical, with a poetic lineage that includes Jose Garcia Villa, E. E. Cummings, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Dylan Thomas, and Emily Dickinson. And his language is as alive as it is exacting. The poems in Mathematics will leave you, as the poet declares in one, 'feeling / closely lobbied / by a / widened soul.' Amen!' -Luis H. Francia, author, Museum of Absences 'Like his mentor Jose Garcia Villa, John Edwin Cowen is a brave poet. He takes poetic risks with language and the result is often a beautiful flower behind the barbed wire of craftsmanship. I love the variety of poems in Mathematics of Love and the charged-up voice that powers all the work. He can be tender, challenging, energetic, and as complex musically as Villa and his other love, Dylan Thomas. I recommend this book to all those who care about poetry and who care about the human spirit.' -Peter Thabit Jones, Swansea Poetry Magazine John Edwin Cowen is the Parnasus Literary Journal's first prize winner in international competition. He has published poems widely in major literary magazines and is a former co-publisher of Bravo: The Poet's Magazine, founded in 1980 by the late poet, Jose Garcia Villa. He is editor of the Penguin Classics centennial volume: Doveglion: The Collected Poems of Jose Garcia Villa, published in 2008. Cowen is a Professor of Literacy and Education at Fairleigh Dickinson University. He earned his doctorate at Columbia University. Mathematics of Love: Poems by John Edwin Cowen is the poet's first published collection of poems.

Susan Mary Malone to Speak at Lexicon Writers Conference
by BWW News Desk - July 13, 2013
Susan Mary Malone, (http://www.maloneeditorial.com/) developmental editor and published author, will be speaking at the Lexicon Writers Conference in Denton, Texas, north of Dallas. The conference will be July 12-14 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Denton. The Lexicon Writers Conference was established to assist, promote and educate writers in all genres and fields, including fiction, non-fiction, screenplay writing, graphic novels and others. Published and unpublished writers attend, and one and all meet with established authors, literary agents, publishers, editors, and marketing experts. Ms. Malone's topic will be 'Viewpoint: The Hub Around Which All Great Writing Revolves.' Ms. Malone stated, 'I think writers' conferences like the Lexicon Writers Conference are important as a way for writers to find out how the writing and publishing business works. Because of the emergence of self-publishing, many new writers today think it is very easy to put out something and be successful. Well it is easier than ever to put something out, but being successful is quite another story. It is still more important than ever to consult developmental editors, proofreaders, book cover designers, and other experts to ensure that you put out a great product. If you don't put out something great, you will likely not be very successful. But with a lot of work and the right assistance, you can do it.' Susan Mary Malone has worked as a freelance editor since 1993, with a BS in Political Science and minors in English and Journalism. Her client list includes NY Times Bestsellers, Essence Bestsellers and books featured in Publishers Weekly. She is also an award-winning author of fiction and non-fiction herself. She participates as a speaker in literary conferences such as the Harriett Austin Writer's Conference (at the University of Georgia), the Blue Ridge Writer's Conference, the SouthWest Writer's Conference, the East Texas Writer's Guild, and the Lexicon Writers Conference, among others.

Adventures in Long Island and Abroad is a Study in Irony and Sardonic Wit
by BWW News Desk - July 13, 2013
Packed with irony and sprinkled with pathos and poignancy, Adventures in Long Island and Abroad is a collection of sixty hilarious, amalgamated stories with amusing last-minute twists. They are written in a sharp, original voice, with a smart, speedy delivery and a sense of the absurd. The eccentric narrator's wife is a federal judge who, in an rare but unfortunate lapse of judgment, was charmed by and married a not-so-lovable misfit. Although interlinked, each chapter stands on its own as a bite-sized study in levity that one can enjoy in the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee. This book is for anyone who loves a good laugh and appreciates sardonic wit. ($19.99, ISBN: 978-1456549183, LCCN: 2011922234, 5.06X7.81?, 348pp) 'I was the youngest kid ever to be expelled from Saint Joseph the Worker Elementary School in East Patchogue, New York. I got kicked out during the second semester of kindergarten. To my knowledge, that distinction still stands to this day. I actually held the record for the entire Diocese of Rockville Centre until 1978, when some kid got expelled on his second day of class for spreading division and confusion among the faithful, desecration of the Eucharist, and setting his school's dumpster on fire. He must have been a little prick.' -Excerpt from 'Grace School Scandals,' Adventures in Long Island and Abroad. Bruce D. Johnson spent the first ten years of his working life as a purchasing agent for a furniture manufacturer. Seeking a change of pace from the corporate grind and looking to be nearer to nature, he quit his job, bought a farm and went into the dairy business-a natural career move for him, as he had spent a week one summer on a dairy farm in Pennsylvania when he was sixteen. Many years later, word possessing software became commonplace, so, after selling the farm, Bruce wrote a funny book. Contact: Anaphora Literary Press Director: Anna Faktorovich, Ph.D 5755 E.

BWW Reviews: Lee Rowan's RANSOM is Engaging Summer Entertainment Reading
by Marakay Rogers - July 12, 2013
In 2005, the New York Times ran an article on romance novels, noting that romance novels were read by 51 million people a year, accounted for 49 percent of all paperback sales, and sold nearly one and a half billion dollars' worth of books annually. That's a lot of romance - and at the time, as the Times noted, the market was aimed almost exclusively at heterosexual women with heterosexual romance. The article's real focus was on the emerging market for same-sex romance novels.

Miguel Parga Releases BLOOD LAWS
by BWW News Desk - July 12, 2013
What if your thoughts killed people and you couldn't stop thinking? Anaphora Literary Press is excited to promote Miguel Parga's 'Blood Laws,' the story of Alex Torken, a young writer who wakes up to discover that his thoughts of death are becoming reality... a bit of a problem for a thriller writer. Yet trying to subdue his murderous dreams is just the beginning, for Alex will soon find himself in the middle of a feud that's been raging for the better part of a millennium. While digging for answers, Alex learns he is a direct descendant of a member of the Spanish Inquisition, and the nightmares are revenge for the atrocities committed by his ancestor five centuries ago. Now, he must face a modern covenant of witches bent on manipulating his mind into a grave, while questioning everything-his past, his calling, even the origin of his own inspiration. ($20, Novel, ISBN#: 978-1-937536-33-6, LCCN: 2012914761, 165pp, 6X9?) Miguel Parga is a screenwriter who has seen over 13 of his shorts produced, several of them showing at festivals all over the United States.
