With his new cookbook, 'What's Cooking in the Okavango Delta?' (published by Trafford Publishing), Feiersinger shares some of his favorite recipes with at-home cooks to share with their family and friends.

Pastor Jim Bowden Releases 'Validating Committed Partnerships: A Still More Excellent Way'
by BWW News Desk - June 21, 2013
In 'Validating Committed Partnerships: A Still More Excellent Way'(published by Trafford Publishing), Jim Bowden presents a new relational paradigm supported by scripture and practiced by Jesus Christ. In this new book, Jim explores significant changes in marriage in the Western World since biblical days. While procreation (birthing children) remains important, the major emphasis in our present culture focuses upon mutuality in marriage, ie, partners fulfilling relational needs for one another rather than being ruled by patriarchy. Also, some people of the same gender by nature are attracted to each other and desire to have their committed partnership validated publicly.

Rachel Kramer Bussel Releases TWICE THE PLEASURE
by BWW News Desk - June 21, 2013
The Advocate recently published an article on bisexual identity in relation to Lindsay Lohan's 'coming out' as heterosexual. Instead of condemning Lohan for her refusal to identify under the label of 'bisexual,' Rachel Kramer Bussel, editor of Twice The Pleasure: Bisexual Women's Erotica, explains the importance of welcoming all varieties of sexual identity. Many people who are attracted to more than one gender choose not to use the label of bisexual, and, according to Bussel, this needs to be more widely accepted. Bussel seeks to increase the visibility of these people by including them in her fictional stories with Cleis Press; even in her more straight-focused anthologies like Gotta Have It, which is in the top ten best-selling romance audiobooks, Bussel tends to feature queer characters and story lines.
