Alan Turing Releases THE GAY PRESIDENT: A NOVEL
by BWW News Desk - March 08, 2013
In honor of Alan Turing: A British mathematician and the father of modern computer science, Alan Turing was instrumental in breaking the military codes of Nazi Germany, and along with other codebreakers at Bletchley Park, helped to bring down the Third Reich. His intuitions of algorithms and mathematical probabilities saved countless lives, and he is one of the (many) unsung heroes of the Second World War. He was discovered to be in a homosexual relationship in the early 1950's in Great Britain, and was chemically castrated as a result. 'The Gay President: A Novel' is in tribute to Alan Turing and his family, and for homosexuals and lesbians everywhere who have been silent victims of disdain and misunderstanding. In the final irony of Alan Turing's life, he gave his loyalty to his country and helped to destroy a regime that exterminated homosexuals, only to be destroyed because of his sexual orientation by the same government to whom he had sworn his allegiance. The following is a brief synopsis of the book:

New Companion Book to Dan Brown's INFERNO Just Released
by BWW News Desk - March 07, 2013
The anticipated companion book to Dan Brown's 'Inferno' novel has just arrived in bookstores. Written by noted historian Sanford Holst, 'Templar Inferno' explores how the death of Knights Templar in flames inspired Dante Alighieri to write his 'Inferno' in the 1300s and how it changed everything that followed. Dan Brown's hero Robert Langdon must make his way through this world, racing down secret passageways in Florence Italy to decode clues in Dante's Inferno. 'Hundreds of Templars were burned to death but many more survived, and we evenknow intriguing details of their lives,' said Holst. 'The knights who refused the pope's order to surrender were forced to live in secrecy outside the law. Their rebellious underground activities played a role in the fall of kings and the weakening of the Vatican.'
