BE WITH YOU by Shri Ramakant Maharaj is Now Available
by BWW News Desk - March 21, 2016
'Be With You - Thoughtless Reality' is a new pocket-sized book with immense import. These Spontaneous Quotes emanate from Self-Realized Master, Shri Ramakant Maharaj who met his Master, the legendary Nisargadatta, in 1962. Recently described on Amazon as 'veritable dynamite', these drops of nectar remind seekers of their forgotten identity, of who they really are, in an unprecedented, effective way. The editor, Ann Shaw explained: 'Be With You' is a unique book of golden nuggets of universal truth that will definitely resonate in the Heart of the reader. This is no ordinary book of quotations sourced from a branch of philosophy, spirituality or mindfulness. This very rare and unique collection of utterances are spoken direct from Source, from a true Master, one who has transcended the limitations of bodily existence. Shri Ramakant resides in what is termed the 'Stateless State', or 'Thoughtless State'. In effect, these teachings emerge from beyond the mind, prior to mind. In the Master's words, 'Reality is beyond words, beyond worlds'. He is communicating 'Spontaneous, Direct Knowledge' which is universal knowledge. It is our knowledge, our reality'. Ann elucidated further: 'This book of universal truth is expressed so simply, yet so forcefully, that it is like a great wind blowing from Essence to Essence - from the 'Awakened Master' to the 'Sleeping Master', (the seeker). This mover or shaker is indeed 'veritable dynamite' that will disturb, explode and obliterate all one's comfortable and safe, illusory concepts. The Master's hammering re-awakens and transforms the reader from his slumbering, dream-state, to Reality. This enables him to reclaim his rightful Masterly status, resulting in the sure-fire knowledge that he is himself unborn. He is Ultimate Reality'. Within the Indian tradition, the Guru or Master is highly revered. His role is central; his words have the power to cut through illusion, and re-ignite Reality. They have the effect of bringing the seeker back to Source, facilitating a return to his true Home - 'Oneness'. Lately, a lifelong seeker relayed how Maharaj had profoundly impacted him: 'When I came across Shri Ramakant Maharaj, I knew instantly that he was my Master. His revolutionary teachings brought the search to an end in a flash. It was miraculous! At last, I was home'. The Master's message is definitely not a comfortable read that feeds and entertains the complacent dreamer. As stated in the Preface of this book: 'It is an urgent, clarion call for everyone to wake up before it is too late. 'Find out who you are in a real sense. Otherwise, you will be shaking and trembling with fear on your death-bed', urges Shri Ramakant. Shri Ramakant Maharaj is based in Nashik, Maharashtra. He welcomes all sincere seekers. 'Be With You - Thoughtless Reality' is available also in Kindle format. This book follows 'Selfless Self: Talks with Shri Ramakant Maharaj', published last year. Available from Watkins Books and Amazon.

Jonathan Harnisch Releases SECOND ALIBI: THE BANALITY OF LIFE
by BWW News Desk - March 21, 2016
Author Jonathan Harnisch is pleased to announce that his literary fiction/erotica novel, 'Second Alibi: The Banality of Life' is receiving rave reviews from reviewers. Afflicted with schizophrenia, Tourette's Syndrome and other mental illnesses, the prolific and gifted Jonathan Harnisch has transformed the harrowing raw material of his life into what he calls 'transgressive fiction' in semi-autobiographical novels such as 'Jonathan Harnisch: An Alibiography and Living Colorful Beauty.' With 'Second Alibi: The Banality of Life,' he revisits the abrasive, triangular psychodrama of his brilliant, questing psychotic Ben Schreiber, Ben's libertine alter-ego, Georgie Gust, and the sadistic temptress, Claudia Nesbitt, who torments them both, while also including a moving plea for understanding that stands apart from the disturbed fevers of his fiction. 'This is a story, I hope, about my coming to enlightenment,' Harnisch writes, and in that vein he enlightens us, too, about the fantastic terrors of schizophrenia: 'What this life is like with the ups and the downs, the confusion, the love and the hate; the black and the white.' He tells us about his moods abruptly shifting 25 times in an hour, his suicide attempts and addictions, the grim realities of sleep deprivation and the fear that his beloved wife has been reading his mind. 'Second Alibi' toggles unpredictably between semi-coherent rage (Harnisch says he often writes when symptomatic) and cool detachment, and it deploys several forms: Harnisch's sexually-charged fiction (Claudia is 'a slow-moving serpent with a tongue of fire and the ass of a bombshell'); a 106-page screenplay featuring dialogues between Ben and his old antagonists, and with his life-saving therapist, 'Dr. C,' self-lacerating entries from 'Georgie Gust's' 2005 diary, and the author's clear explanations of his condition, apparently written at moments when his symptoms have subsided. *Due to content of a sexually explicit nature, this book is recommended for a mature audience only. Recent Praise for 'Second Alibi: The Banality of Life': At times, Harnisch is energized by the very power of his illness. 'The mind and the sickness is all so sublime,' he writes, 'the heart of living, colorful beauty.' But in his most lucid moments, this brave and eloquent writer struggles mightily to escape the dark woods of madness: 'As always, my journey continues, on and on.' - BlueInk Review 'This story is now shedding light on the experiences of schizophrenics in a language that the non-sufferer can understand.' - From Worldnews Network 'Harnisch's sense of the inner machinations of human experience spring into life through the text.' - From WOWK 13 News, W. Va, WV 'My brain was spinning by the end. It's brilliant.' - From Editor, 'Second Alibi: The Banality of Life' 'Second Alibi' provides an honest window into the 'hollow stuff.' Harnisch is at his best, though, when he leaves his inner critic behind and allows his creativity to color the world around him.' Foreword Reviews Book Details: 'Second Alibi: The Banality of Life' By Jonathan Harnisch Publisher: Babydude Press Published: August 2014 ISBN: 978-1500482015 ASIN: B00N37L3CQ Pages: 310 Genre: Erotica, Literary About The Author: Jonathan Harnisch is a producer, filmmaker, fine artist, musician and published author. He has been diagnosed with several mental illnesses from schizoaffective disorder to Tourette's syndrome; playfully, he dubs himself the 'King of Mental Illness.' Jonathan holds myriad accolades, and his works captivate the attention of those who experience it. Manic-toned scripts with parallel lives, masochistic tendencies in sexual escapades, and disturbing clarities embellished with addiction, fetish, lust, and love, are just a taste of themes found in Jonathan's transgressive literature. Conversely, his award-winning films capture the ironies of life, love, self-acceptance, tragedy and fantasy. Jonathan's art evokes laughter and shock, elation and sadness, but overall forces you to step back and question your own version of reality.

But in his most lucid moments, this brave and eloquent writer struggles mightily to escape the dark woods of madness: 'As always, my journey continues, on and on.' - BlueInk Review 'This story is now shedding light on the experiences of schizophrenics in a language that the non-sufferer can understand.' - From Worldnews Network 'Harnisch's sense of the inner machinations of human experience spring into life through the text.' - From WOWK 13 News, W. Va, WV 'My brain was spinning by the end. It's brilliant.' - From Editor, 'Second Alibi: The Banality of Life' 'Second Alibi' provides an honest window into the 'hollow stuff.' Harnisch is at his best, though, when he leaves his inner critic behind and allows his creativity to color the world around him.' Foreword Reviews Book Details: 'Second Alibi: The Banality of Life' By Jonathan Harnisch Publisher: Babydude Press Published: August 2014 ISBN: 978-1500482015 ASIN: B00N37L3CQ Pages: 310 Genre: Erotica, Literary About The Author: Jonathan Harnisch is a producer, filmmaker, fine artist, musician and published author. He has been diagnosed with several mental illnesses from schizoaffective disorder to Tourette's syndrome; playfully, he dubs himself the 'King of Mental Illness.' Jonathan holds myriad accolades, and his works captivate the attention of those who experience it. Manic-toned scripts with parallel lives, masochistic tendencies in sexual escapades, and disturbing clarities embellished with addiction, fetish, lust, and love, are just a taste of themes found in Jonathan's transgressive literature. Conversely, his award-winning films capture the ironies of life, love, self-acceptance, tragedy and fantasy. Jonathan's art evokes laughter and shock, elation and sadness, but overall forces you to step back and question your own version of reality.

David Boiani Releases New Psychological Thriller A THIN LINE
by BWW News Desk - March 21, 2016
John Corbin has been investigating, catching, and convicting murderers, rapists, and pedophiles for twenty years as a Seattle detective. But lately, someone has been beating him to the punch and eliminating these vile criminals before he can apprehend them. John is learning that there is a thin line between innocent or guilty, good or evil, alive or dead. By definition, a thin line is a very narrow division between two alternatives. Some being exact opposites, while others are separated by the narrowest of threads. This novel follows this definition to the letter. In life, many situations aren't just black or white. There is usually a modicum of grey to fill in the space. Who is right? Who is wrong? Who is good? Who is evil? Perhaps everyone at one time or another lies somewhere in the middle.... 'A Thin Line' is a tale that will immediately draw you in and keep you guessing. A suspenseful psychological thriller with twists and turns that will toy with your mind and emotions, driven by a chilling narrative that builds the tension right up until its explosive conclusion. 'A Thin Line' is available in both print and ebook formats.

NYT Best Selling Author Presents David Farland Discovery Program for New Writers
by BWW News Desk - March 21, 2016
WordFire Press will release 'The Feather and the Moon Well,' a debut novel by Shean Pao, as the first novel in the innovative David Farland Discovery program to discover and showcase new talent. David Farland, known as 'the Wizard of Storytelling,' is an award-winning, New York Times bestselling author. He's had a hand in discovering and nurturing new talent for years. In the late 1990s, he was asked by the head of Scholastic to help pick a book to push big for the coming year. He chose 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.' As a writing instructor at Brigham Young University, he taught Stephenie Meyer, whose first novel 'Twilight' became an international success. Other students have gone on to become #1 New York Times Bestsellers, including Brandon Sanderson ('Wheel of Time'), Brandon Mull ('Fablehaven'), and James Dashner ('The Maze Runner'). As the lead judge in the world's largest science fiction and fantasy writing contest, Dave has a reputation for spotting and nurturing new talent. Dave says of this new program: 'From time to time, I find novelists of considerable talent, and I've wanted to be able to help them get a boost into the public spotlight. Fortunately, WordFire Press has offered me a forum to do that. I don't have any particular agenda. I like fantasy and science fiction, humor and thrillers, tales for adults and teens. What I look for are tales that are beautifully told, that drag me in. I look for storytellers that I can believe in. Shean Pao fits the bill perfectly with her debut novel, 'The Feather and the Moon Well.' Legend tells of a sorceress, the Willow Woman, living within a white tower who owns a vast hoard of strange and curious items. If you bring her something precious to add to her Collection, she may grant your wish... or curse you. When she has a vision of a great flaming feather that has the power to free her from her tower- prison, she discovers she will have to create an evil spell for a vile lord in order to get it. Will she risk love, friendship and the terrible war she sees within the Moon Well to obtain her goal? This is the first installment in a powerful new series. Farland says: 'Shean Pao draws upon traditional tales of the fairy realm for inspiration while creating a world that is uniquely her own. The resulting story is richly drawn and seductive. This is a book that stands up to rereading time and time again.' The first novel in the David Farland Discovery Program, 'The Feather and the Moon Well' by Shean Pao to Be Released from WordFire Press. WordFire Press • PO Box 1840 • Monument, CO 80132-1840 WordFire Press is a mid-sized Colorado-based publisher owned by New York Times bestselling authors Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta.
