Mullins offered to sign books and had copies signed by her and the author of the book, Miranda N. Prather, for sale. The signing took place during Turfway's closing day that featured live racing, Dachshund and small dog racing and a raffle for a bottle of Maker's Mark Bourbon autographed by Cincinnati Reds' legend, Johnny Bench.
Mary Troilo, National Simulcast Director at Turfway Park, set up the event and stated that, 'there was a crowd of people at the table so I feel there was a lot of interest' when she had some time to walk by the signing. In addition, Theosa Hoffeld, a fan of Blue Blue Sea, drove up for the event and had hoped to meet Prather in addition to Mullins. She said it was wonderful to meet Mullins and that 'Blue Blue Sea's legacy will live forever in this book.'
Blue Blue Sea Finds His Cape tells the life story of a blue-collar racehorse who overcame a devastating illness to survive and inspire thousands around the globe who were facing their own struggles. The book features playful writing and delightful pictures that bring the tale of Blue Blue Sea to life. Blue Blue Sea was no American Pharoah, but he became a hero just the same!

Author Shares Tips on How to Talk Dirty to Women Without Offending Them by BWW News Desk
- April 11, 2016 Many single men feel that the only way to create romantic chemistry with women of interest in the very first conversation is to be amazingly good looking, exceptionally flattering, polite, and entertaining, or boast about how much money they earn or show off an expensive luxury automobile or sports car that they may be driving. Men's Dating Coach Alan Roger Currie says all of the factors mentioned above are highly overrated.
'Just about every woman who has ever been a long-term or short-term lover of mine in my adult life has made it a point to let me know that the number one characteristic about me that turned them on the most was my talent for 'erotic dirty talk.' Ever since I was in my late teens or early twenties, I have known how to talk dirty to women in a manner that would leave them incredibly aroused. As a result, for the last ten years or so, I have made a career out of teaching men how to develop that exact same talent to use in a beneficial manner for themselves,' said Currie, who also works with female clients as well as married and unmarried couples to help them add more 'erotic spice' to their love lives and sex lives.
Currie earns as much as $200 per hour from male clients interested in learning how to use the power of their voice and verbal communication skills to engage in conversations with new female acquaintances that transition from conventional, boring 'small talk' to sizzling hot 'aural sex' without resulting in these men being perceived by women as rude, crass, and/or blatantly disrespectful and offensive.
'That's where the talent lies. Any man can become bold enough to express a number of sexually provocative and erotically explicit comments to women, but the key is, can they do it in a manner that leaves women turned on rather than turned off? This is my number one specialty. This is what motivates men to pay me money to become a mentor for them and tutor them effectively,' added Currie, who has an audiobook available on Amazon.com and Audible.com entitled, 'Oooooh ... Say it Again: Mastering the Fine Art of Verbal Seduction and Aural Sex.'
Currie asserts that men and women are both visual and auditory, but men tend to be turned on more by what they see, while women generally are more turned on by what they read and hear, which is why sales for erotica novels and 'audio erotica' oriented audiobooks marketed to women have exploded in the last ten years.
'You cannot talk to women about sex in a manner that is too crude, harsh, or misogynistic. You have to be smooth, seductive, and erotically descriptive. You have to talk to women in a manner that creates visual images in their mind and imagination. Once a woman begins visualizing what you are describing to her in her left ear with a half-whisper tone of voice, you will have her intrigued. A woman's erotic imagination is extremely powerful,' offered Currie, who works with male and female clients via Skype, over-the-telephone, and also in face-to-face sessions.
Currie also works with female clients to help them increase their feminine energy, and to help them overcome many of their sexual inhibitions and prudish sensibilities that may be hurting their chances of maintaining an enjoyable and satisfying relationship with men of interest.
In addition, Currie advises married and unmarried couples who are looking to add what is known as 'erotic role play' into their marriage or romantic relationship, and incorporating BDSM and polyamory themes if that is what the couple genuinely wants to do.
Currie offers a free complimentary telephone session for women and couples who are interested in his coaching and services. Currie also is the Host of an adults only podcast program entitled 'The Erotic Conversationalist.'
Men can download Currie's audiobook, Oooooh . . . Say it Again: Mastering the Fine Art of Verbal Seduction and Aural Sex for free when they sign up for a 30-day risk free trial subscription with Audible.com.
THE CRIME OF CHERNOBYL is Released by BWW News Desk
- April 11, 2016 Summary:
Thirty years ago, on the 26th of April 1986, a catastrophic nuclear accident occurred at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Soviet Socialist Republic of Ukraine, when large quantities of radioactive particles were released into the atmosphere and spread over vast swathes of western USSR and Europe. Though clean-up teams went to enormous lengths to prevent the worst from happening, in terms of cost and casualties it was nonetheless the worst nuclear power plant accident in history, comparable in scale to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan in 2011.
The real authors of this book are the victims of the disaster at Chernobyl that occurred on 26th April 1986. Wladimir Tchertkoff recorded their voices in the villages of northern Ukraine and in the forests in the south of Belarus. They are the millions of peasant farmers who consume food containing caesium 137 on a daily basis. Then there are the 'liquidators', the unsung heroes of Europe who were sacrificed in order to extinguish the fire at the power station. And finally there are the doctors and physicists, at least those few who have not given in to the will of the nuclear lobby.
This book also tells the story of the struggle undertaken by two Belarusian scientists who risked their careers, their health and their personal safety to come to the aid of the contaminated populations. Forced into the role of dissidents by the refusal of the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna to recognise the harmful effects of low dose radiation on health, the physicist Vassili Nesterenko and the doctor and pathologist Yury Bandazhevsky were persecuted in their own country as a result of their opposition to the official dogma. Vassili Nesterenko died in 2008, having suffered innumerable health problems following his exposure to high levels of radiation in April 1986, when he flew over the exploded reactor in a helicopter.
This book was first published in 2006 in France. Despite the biblical proportions of a disaster that could have rendered the whole of Europe uninhabitable, the world has still not learnt its lesson. The real health effects of the accident at Chernobyl continue to be covered up by governments, by the nuclear industry and by the international institutions that support them. This cover-up has made it a certainty that sooner or later, another catastrophe will occur. In 2011, following an earthquake and tsunami, three reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Power Plant experienced a nuclear meltdown. The health effects there are only just beginning to make themselves felt.
About the Author:
A child of the first wave of emigration from Russia, Tchertkoff was born in 1935 in the former Yugoslavia. At the end of the Second World War, the Tchertkoffs moved to France and settled in the outskirts of Paris. Wladimir received French schooling in addition to his Russian education, and then obtained a classical education at the Sorbonne.
Over the course of more than 30 years of collaboration with the Italian TV company RAI, then with the Italian-language Swiss TV channel TSI in the southern canton of Tessin, Tchertkoff produced more than 70 investigative films, taking a particular interest in describing and analysing power struggles in society.
In 1990, TSI (a Swiss television company) sent him for the first time to document the aftermath of the Chernobyl accident. He knew very little about nuclear physics, radioactivity or the nuclear industry, but what he learnt on that first visit was to change him forever. As a Russian speaker, he was able to avoid state-run media tours, and his team chose instead to visit places and people who provided him with first-hand evidence of the accident itself, the Soviet Union government's response, the response of the international nuclear lobby, and perhaps most painfully of all, the effects on the health of the people.
Following this first visit, Tchertkoff travelled to the areas around Chernobyl many times. He filmed over two hundred hours of footage, made seven documentaries about Chernobyl and wrote 'The Crime of Chernobyl - the Nuclear Gulag', written in French and published in 2006 by Actes SUD.
