Freya Barker Releases Contemporary Romance Novel, CRUEL WATER by BWW News Desk
- March 18, 2016 Author Freya Barker is pleased to announce the release of her new contemporary romance novel, Cruel Water. This is the second book in her Portland, ME series.
Innocence marked her...
Violation crippled her...
Love left her raw...
The life she carefully rebuilt is challenged when she is confronted with the sins from her past. The carefully applied protection is at once ripped away, leaving her exposed and vulnerable.
Her single night of indulgence with the silver-eyed stranger is only the beginning. He sees right to the heart of her and she is unable to ward off emotions that have been deeply buried. With the sting of betrayal still fresh in her soul, she's surprised to find herself opening up to the honest integrity of the sharp-eyed, rough-looking biker.
When he lost everyone who mattered, he was left without roots and learned to be content simply living in the moment. Completely unprepared for the feisty blonde bartender with old pain marring her clear-blue eyes, he questions his own rules of detachment, as she unwittingly finds a way under his skin.
Appearances deceive and when the masks fall away, revealing deep, dark secrets, there is nothing left but to hang onto each other and survive the storm.
**Due to content of a sexually explicit nature, this book is recommended for a mature audience only.**

Joe Barfield's LIVE FOR TODAY Launches Crowdfunding Campaign for Feature Film by BWW News Desk
- March 18, 2016 Author and screenwriter, Joe Barfield is described by his peers as a 'creative storyteller' who has led an adventurous life. Barfield states, 'the most important thing I ever did was to raise my children. I was 'mister mom' before it was popular.' He likes adventure. His book entitled, 'Formula 2000, the Dream' is a book where every chapter depicts actual racing stories that he or his son, well-known race car driver, Beaux Barfield experienced firsthand. Barfield stated in an interview last fall that he loves children and animals, and he 'makes it a point,' continued Barfield, 'to include at least one child or animal as a character in each of his books.' He takes real life depictions, matters of the heart, and creates engaging fictional stories, wanting each book, by its conclusion to provide a message of hope for his readers. This is the actual consensus according to those who know his stories first hand and his abilities in storytelling. 'Live for Today' is about what happened to Barfield in high school in terms of much of the content. One of the main characters in the book is Marilyn. Barfield states, 'I dated her when I was 18. She was beautiful.' The book 'Live for Today' is a faith based story written to prevent suicide and and to encourage bullies to stop being cruel in their words and to look for the immense good in themselves and others always. One must another build up and never tear down.
The story 'Live for Today,' both the forthcoming feature film production and the novel are an effort to demonstrate that there is always hope and with faith anything can be overcome. 'Brightest days often occur following one's darkest days, one just needs to hold on, as better days present themselves always,' Barfield continues, 'in terms of the message of the book, it's to inspire hope, that things do get better, and that suicide is not ever the answer.'
'Live for Today' is available for download on both smashwords.com and amazon.com and is available in its paperback edition on both sites. It is also available on barnesandnoble.com. Barfield incorporates characters who are relatable, as well as noteworthy. In terms of Barfield recalling high school in the 60s, in his novel 'Live for Today' he recounts time spent with ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons, as he is a character in the book. Barfield and Gibbons attended high school together, Gibbons graduating a year after Barfield. Barfield produced his first film production based on the novel, 'Live for Today' on a modest budget and premiered the film in Katy, TX, working with mostly high school students who were involved as talent and production staff. Many of the youth in town, very dedicated to the cause and the story, stepped forward to be a part of the production. The website is www.K-TFilms.com.
Barfield stated in a recent interview, he has plans to develop 'Live for Today' into a full length feature film. Pre-production to begin at some point in 2016. He indicated possibly bringing back some of the same cast from the low budget, yet high quality feature that was filmed and distributed in Katy, TX based on the novel. The forthcoming feature, yet to be produced, will be distributed at least domestically and through the film festival circuit, as it is an important film to be made considering the positive message it gives many who may be struggling. It tells a story that many will find relatable. 'It will help them to know all can be overcome' and that there is always hope. A portion of proceeds from book and / or download sales, will be contributed to the forthcoming 'Live for Today' film project. There will be a crowdfunding campaign launched sometime this spring by well known social justice advocate, animal advocate, an anti-bullying ambassador and film producer/director/actress, Lisa Pellegrene.
Barfield has completed nine novels and nine scripts to date. His script, 'The Company' won best script in a fan based best story contest. His websites are www.K-TFilms.com, and www.jbarfield.com. He plans to include, 'Live for Today' feature film updates for the forthcoming features on both websites. Barfield resides with his lovely wife in Katy, TX.

Solstice Publishing Releases THE CANTOR'S SON by BWW News Desk
- March 18, 2016 'The Cantor's Son,' new novel from Solstice Publishing.
As we've all learned in our life experience, growing up is never easy, and if you're a minister's child it's harder. Like a celebrity or politician your life is under the magnifying glass. The congregation and the community seem to have higher expectations. People forget that kids are kids. David M. Mannes' new novel, 'The Cantor's Son' (Solstice Publishing) is about Rabbi-Cantor Jeff Reimer, who after an absence of forty-six years, returns to River City, Iowa as spiritual leader of Temple Beth Shalom. This was his father's first pulpit as Cantor and where Jeff had his Bar Mitzvah. As Jeff connects with the congregation and a variety of issues, he also connects with his past and reminisces about the year of his Bar Mitzvah, and the pivotal events and personal relationships that have led him back again, and that has made Jeff the man he has become. This is a humorous coming-of-age story set in the mid-sixties where Jeff fights off the stigma of being a clergyman's son, and has to contend with Junior High shop classes, B'nai Mitzvah party dances and a semi-reluctant romance with April Blackman.
'The Cantor's Son' is available for pre-order from Amazon on March 15, 2016.
The novel is scheduled to be released March 29th in ebook and paperback formats from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and www.solsticepublishing.com (ebook version only).

Fenton Johnson to Release Three Books by BWW News Desk
- March 17, 2016 On September 9, 1971, two weeks before Fenton Johnson left his home in Nelson County, Kentucky, for college, the state police kidnapped and murdered a local renegade and pot grower from neighboring Marion County whom they had been unable to convict. No autopsy was performed. About the same time, his small hometown acquired its first doctor in years—a Muslim woman from Pakistan. Though Johnson was only seventeen, both events left an indelible impression. The murder of the marijuana grower fed questions about conflict between the free spirit and the constraints of the law—whether imposed by state or church—and the hiring of the doctor led him to wonder what it would mean to be a Muslim woman practicing medicine in the insular Roman Catholic Knobs of Central Kentucky.
