New Collection of Novellas - Eyes of the Slain Woman is a Journey of Struggle and Redemption
by BWW News Desk - June 23, 2013
Eyes of the Slain Woman is a collection of three novellas that explore grief and the tenacity of the human spirit. In Echoes of Hungry Blood, Solo, a disenchanted doctor leaves his practice in the city to work in a small town, where he faces the challenge of caring for those who have committed crimes against his family-a decision that leads to regret and eventual deliverance. In The Last Next, Solo returns to the city and remarries. His new wife is soon diagnosed with a terminal illness, and unable to cope with the pain, she requests euthanasia. His agreement and ensuing murder trial and conviction are a journey of growth and redemption. Eyes of the Slain Woman narrates the harrowing experiences of Ma Ebo, a long-widowed woman, who following her son's murder is persuaded to visit his killer in prison. In the process, she finds healing and the liberation of forgiveness. Benjamin Kwakye J.D. is the author of The Clothes of Nakedness (1998), The Sun by Night (2005), The Other Crucifix (2010) and Legacy of Phantoms (2011). Winner of the regional Commonwealth Writers Prize in both the Best First Book (1998) and Best Book (2006) categories, he was also the recipient of the 2011 IPPY Award for Best Adult Multicultural Fiction. The Clothes of Nakedness was adapted for radio as a BBC Play of the Week. He was born in Accra, Ghana and holds degrees from Dartmouth College and Harvard Law School.

by BWW News Desk - June 22, 2013
Much has been said about the Millennials or Gen Ys as is most commonly known. few authors and leadership specialists speak to creating understanding of 'all' the generations.

First e-Book About the Japanese Garden Funda-in is Released
by BWW News Desk - June 21, 2013
On June 13th, the Japanese garden design team Keizo Hayano and Jenny Feuerpeil have released a digital book about the Zen temple garden Funda-in, which is also known as Sesshu-ji, a subtemple of the Tofukuji complex in Kyoto. To promote Japanese garden culture in the world, the design duo publishes artisanal books on their website 'Real Japanese Gardens' (www.japanesegardens.jp), that highlight not only the beauty of Japanese gardens with impressive photographs, but also focus on Japanese architecture and the history and philosophy behind each garden. Funda-in, a small and quiet Zen temple in southern Kyoto, belongs to the favorite gardens of the Japanese garden designers Keizo Hayano and Jenny Feuerpeil. 'The karesansui garden of Funda-in temple is one of Kyoto's true secret gardens!' says Japanese garden writer Jenny Feuerpeil. 'When I visited the beautiful gardens of Tofukuji in autumn 2012, I immediately fell in love with the calm, relaxing atmosphere of the Zen temple. The garden and architecture form a marvelous symbiosis. The Japanese design concepts of Framing the View and Borrowed Scenery have been employed by the old garden master Sesshu and modern re-constructor Shigemori to utmost perfection. Too bad most visitors of the Tofuku-ji temple complex just walk past it - we want to change that with our garden e-book!' 'It is our goal to show our readers the secret Japanese gardens, the hidden gems in the bustling streets of Tokyo and Kyoto' says 40 year old Tokyo based garden designer Keizo Hayano. 'Funda-in is such a garden - small in size, yet beautiful in its proportions and very quiet, even on the weekends. While most tourists visit Tofuku-ji's Hojo, Kaisan-do or other temples like Ryogin-an and Komyo-ji, Fundain is often over-looked. With our platform, we would like to give foreign tourist also the opportunity to explore these lesser known beautiful gardens of Japan.' The e-book titled 'Funda-in, sub-temple of Tofuku-ji' has 14 pages and 44 quality pictures of the historically important temple and garden. It introduces the Shoin architecture of the temple, the front garden, south garden and the tea house Tonan-tei and its adjacent tea garden (east garden), which was designed by Shigemori Mirei. The e-book is the first world-wide to be written and published about the Funda-in temple gardens. Note to editors: Currently the website www.japanesegardens.jp features basic information, pictures and directions to around 90 gardens in Japan. To date, 13 eBooks about famous, secret and private Japanese gardens have been published. Another 3 eBooks have been released about typical elements of a Japanese garden - traditional fences and gravel patterns. 2 more e-books about Japanese moss and Japanese bamboo have been published in the plant category. Providing reliable information to their readers is Real Japanese Gardens' highest priority. Before writing an e-book, the team visits the garden and takes photos of the garden and its features. Up to 80% of the research is done using Japanese resources (books, journals and interviews) to stay as close to the Japanese garden tradition as possible. Keizo Hayano is the owner and head designer of the Japan garden design studio Niwashyu in Shibuya, Tokyo (www.niwashyu.jp). He studied the fine arts at the Kyoto City College of Arts and loves small intimate Kyoto gardens that soothe the soul. Member of the Japanese Association of Garden Designers. San Francisco based garden designer Jenny Feuerpeil came to Japan after leaving her job at a global IT company. From 2008 on, she studied garden design in Chelsea, London and founded the garden design label Dendron Exterior Design (www.dendronexteriordesign.com). In 2010, she decided to go to Japan to learn the Japanese garden tradition first hand as an apprentice in a garden maintenance company near Tokyo. She loves the rough texture of natural materials, the boldness of stone arrangements and karesansui gardens.
